Thirty-five officers of the Omaha police
force were laid off tor an Indefinite time
by the Board of Fire and Police Commis
sioners at a meeting held yesterday after
noon. The list begins with Captain Hase
and affects nearly every alternate man In
the order In which their names appear on
the October detail sheet. The effective
policing force of the city Is practically cut
Into halves, a number of the men being
used In the Jail crew and the total of
ninety-two. Including the chief, clerks and
attaches.
An estimated shortage of from IS. (no to
$9,000 in the police fund for the year Is the
cause for the reduction. The deficit la
caused by changes in the last city charter
preventing money realised from back taxes
going In the current year's funds.
Order EaTetve Today.
The reduction will take effect today.
While the orders to the chief are clear and
definite and the chief will proceed to exe
cute them without delay, the commissioners
make no secret that they anticipate possi
ble assistance from the city council and the
city legal department. Before the resolu
tion was adopted and the men tolled off
City Attorney Breen had a long conference
with the commissioners behind closed doors.
When he cam out he announced he hoped
to have the city council make provision
for keeping on the entire police force for
the remainder of the year by passing an
ordinance under the emergency clause of
the charter.
Mr. Kreen said he considered the reduc
tion In the force In, the nature of a calamity
ud that In his opinion (be emergency
clause, bich provides for expenditures
ibove available resources In cases of un
foreseen accidents and the like, would be
applicable In this Instance. It was pointed
out that by the time the council meets the

a condition and not a theory will confront
the city. In the words of . the commis
sioners: "It is now up to the council and
It will be a poor kind of a council that
can't help out."
' Resolatloa aad Mea Affected.
The resolution adopted by Commissioners
Broatch, Thomas and Miller, who were the
members attending the meeting. Is as fol
lows: Resolved, That the following members of
the police force be laid off until further
notice without pay on account of lack of
funds:
Captain H. B. Haze, Sergeant M. F.
Dempsey, Sergeant A. Vanous. Sergeant
Thomas Hsyes. Sergeant A. T. Slgwart,
Sergeant M. Whalen, Patrolmen D. P. Bald

Trr Be Fair,
We have tried to be absolutely fair and
Impartial in laying off the men." said Com
missioner Thomas. "We simply went down
the detail list and took every second man,
making exceptions only where It was
necessary because an exact half of the
force Is more than enough to make up the
deficiency. In case the thirty-five men are
compelled to remain off the force and the
emergency ordinance Is not pissed by the
council and signed by the mayor, the board
will arrange so that all the men 'of the
present force will get an equal division of
the work and money remaining In the fund.
That Is to say, the men laid off will alter
nate every so often, probably every -two
weeks."
Hark Twelve-Hoar Shift.
Chief Donahue says the order means an
Immediate return to the twelve-hour shift
from the eight-hour shift plan. The squads
will work from 7 to 7 o'clock. Enough men
are left available to give the city seven uni
formed patrolmen by night and six by day,
with two emergency officers and eight
plain clothes men. The beats of the patrol
men will average more than two miles In
length. One will be Fifteenth and Six
teenth from Harney to Iocut; another
Harney street from 81xth to Fortieth
streets. Under any circumstances a police
man a ill have to keep walking at a good
smart clip all the time to make the re
quired reports from his call boxes.
Dr. Miller's Views.
"Speaking for myself, I do not see that
anything can be dune but to let out the
thirty-five men necessary to cut the '-e

to the money available In the police fund,
and to do this effective Sunday, October 15,"
said Dr. Miller. "It is true an effort was
made to get the business men Interested
in hopes they might contribute the tS.OOO
or so requisite to maintain the force for
the remainder of the year. With the ex
ception of Count Crelghton and one or two
others who offered to put In $300 apiece,
there has been no response. Apparently
nearly all the really influential and solid
commercial factors of the city are holding
aloof and exhibiting no interest In the
matter of policing the town.
"At the very best and up to It's full
strength our police department Is altogether
too small to Insure the maintenance of good
order in Omaha. Last winter when the
charter revisionists were busy I had the
facts in the matter revealed to Herman
Kountse and he was much surprised that
a city one-third as great In area as Lon
don should have only fifty-eight regular
patrolmen to watch Its streets twenty-four
hours In the day. I thought he would
come out openly and favor Chief Donahue's
move to have the police fund Increased
from 1115.000 to Sl&O.OuO. but I do not know
that he. or other wealthy men invested In
the new charter, did so. I do know the
limit of the police fund was not Increased.
"It always has been necessary to admin
lr the police department with the most
rigid economy. I do not believe anyone
who has made a careful Investigation of
the facts can deny this has been the case
for years. Through no fault of the Fire
and Police commission or other city offi
cers we are confronted with a shortage,
owing to new financial arrangements made
by the last charter. The persons to blame
are citizens who do not want to pay taxes
enough to make the police department what
It should be."

Superintendent Noyes of the municipal
asphalt plant stood JuCl outside the en
trance gate to the horse show arena Fri
day night. Just as J. R. Dunn was about
to ride In on the famous sorrel saddle horse
King Lee, owned by Richardson of Mystic,
la., Noyes spied the number "13" on his
back.
"You are not going Into the ling with
that on your back, are you?" asked the
paving man.
"Sure,", replied Dunn. "The horse Is so
good I can't lose."
"But. man." remonstrated Noyes. "It's
the 13th day of the month and a Friday.
If I were you I would rub my hands over
the head of this 'nigger quick. I wouldn't
give a nickel for your chances If you
don't."
The rider was alarmed. He had just time
to run his fingers through a kinky pate be
fore he dashed out In the arena.
There was a big field and some mighty
good horses against him. but King Lee
tore down "he blue ribbon.
It Is a rather strange circumstance, as
the police books will show that on Friday,
October 13. C. A. Skinner of 1313 Douglas
street, lost thirteen Ivory pool balls, which
were stolen, it Is said. Some of the police
force are beginning to believe there Is
something In the old superstition about
the numeral "13" and the day, Friday, hav
ing unlucky associations, although Captain
Dunn refuses to stand for what he calls
such nonsense. He says Friday is his best
day.
