PROPOSITION NOW UNDER DISCUSSION DahlmaB, Ilctor mm Brows Arc Waat to Head Kobra.ka'a Procsslost to Kw York Bec.Dtloa. Th proposition of a Nsbraska delesatton, beaded by tbs three democratle mayors of th stata'a biggest towns. Omaha, Lincoln snjouth Oiuatta, to swell the throng at ths Bryan welcome In New York is being discussed by local party leaders who want to get In Una with ths Bryan moTeiuent. Mayor Dahlman, who spent Saturday morn ing attending to his live stock Interests lit South Omaha, Is understood to favor ths plan, and It Is believed that Mayor Hoctor's acquiescence will not be hard to secure.. Mayor Brown of Unooln was In Omaha Friday and said he waa going down to New York to get la on the first glad hand to Bryan, no matter who else went from Nebraska. For the first tiros In many years the three biggest cities In ths state have dem ocratic mayors simultaneously, a fact so Strang as to arouse much comment. It Is proposed to cast a dragnet to draw In all ths other democratic mayors of leaser towns and villages and to Uy to Indue them to make th trip, too. R. K Metcalf, Charles W. Bryan, brother of W. J. Bryan, and other Un- colnlles and a few rad-bot Omaha Bryan' Ites are looked ufaJh as assured parU of th nsmble. There Is even mention of a special train. City Clerk Butler and others hav said they would help make up the party, If It reached these proportions. The entire scheme, however. Is still vague and waiting for the band of th organizer. STORY OF A. MAN AND A MULE Thrllllas; Karratlvo of How Mike Crowe) Saved House and Sap- pressed Maad Not, Patrolman Mike Crow expects to get his picture in th comic Sunday supplements. Mr. Crow haul a narrow escape from death Baturday morning, when he was chased four blocks by a sway-backed mule owned by Mike O'Hern, who has a second hand store at Sixteenth and Cuming streets. Only two weeks ago the same animal caused Us owner's arrest and fine In police court. While peaceably patrolling his beat on Sixteenth street Crowe heard th sounds of "Police!" issuing from the alley at th rear of th O'Hern store. Rushing Into the alley, Crowe's attention was directed to a cottage occupied by Mrs. Barah Miller, a colored woman, who was watching the destruction of her humble home. Crowe soon learned that O Hern's mule had entered ths Miller house during the absenos of the colored woman and was eating a cabbage when th policeman ar rived. The mule resented the patrolinaa's interference by kicking an alarm clock through th doorway. Then Crowe went around to get O'Hern to call bis pet home. Meanwhll Mrs. Miller ran down to her sister's house for succor and a large mop. Mrs. Miller, her sister. Crow and O'Hern returned to th Miller place about the sain time. The Miller house was beginning to rock Uks a boat on an angry sea. "Save my Uttl home," cried Mrs. Miller. "Yea, save my sister's borne," screamed Mrs. Miller's sister. Patrolman Crow consented to save th noma. Crow went to th door of th Miliar place and tapped with his club, when he was saluted with a window sash which the mule kicked out. Miss Mule then ran out of the door and started after Crowe, who did run some distance in front of th In furiated mule. Chief of Police Donahue, who lives near by, heard of the trouble and took steps to have a quietus placed on the O'Hern mule. And her nam was Maud. MORE TROUBLE IS PROMISED Revelations Threatened Whea ab stracts of City Real Estate Are Dig I p. The abstract of city property asked for by the board of appraisers of city property In order to carry out the Injunction of ap praising all lands and buildings owned by the municipality at least one a year. Is partly made and the submission of the part of It to Councilman Jackson, who Is the member of the council on th board, has caused consternation. By reason cf many vacated streets and alleys It Is said the city owns enough real estate to keep the appraisers busy eight hours a day for six months. The ordinances provide that members of the council shall receive no extra compensation for such services, but that the lay members are to receive 3 a day for not mora than three days. Viewed from any standpoint, there seems to be a large quantity of labor ahead with out adequate compensation. Former city councils and appraising committees hav simply Ignored the annual Inventory. Records of the city real estata hav been Incomplete and as a result much of it has been occupied by business firms and prl vat Individuals without paying rent, It was the desire of th new regime to drag th matter out of th obscurity In which It rested. Th prospects revealed ar said to b sou what surprising. PLACE FOR BIG REVIVAL Auditorium Comet Huh and Committee lay Kot Meet the Price. OLD COLISEUM NEXT THING IN SIGHT Local Ministers Preparing; for Torrey Alezander Meetings Next Fall Have Serloas Problem on Their Hands. Where to hold the big revival is the ques tion which is disturbing the minds of the members of the committee on arrangements for th Torrey-Alextinder metUngs next fall. When Mr. Torrey and Mr. Alexander psomlsed to com here, th local ministers had no idea that they would not get the Auditorium. Now they are not so sure about that. They have not yet decided that they ar able to raise the 13,600 which th board of managers -of ths Auditorium wants for the rent of the building. Th only other building In the city large enough to bold th masses of people who will attend-the meetings Is the Coliseum. It Is not nearly so desirsbl as the Audi torium, because so far away from th center of town. There has been some criticism . of the Auditorium management for asking so much money from political and religious meetings. In this case th members of the committee say ths management has been very liberal and has mad th best offer It could. At a meeting of the committee with the board of managers th latter ex plained there was a bonded debt of $60,000 on the Auditorium and a floating debt of 118.000, and that the expenses connected with a meeting were, a day. Th month for which th commute wanted the build ing. November 18 to December 16, was calculated to bring $5,000 gross receipts. If the placo wer devoted to amusements. In view of the nature of the proposed meet ings, the board would sacrifice $1,400 and would rent the building for the month for $3,600, allowing as part payment on this whatever money Is taken in on tn four Saturdays when the building will not be used, to the amount of $600. At the same meeting F. A. Nash pledged $200 In the name of the Omaha Electrlo Light and Power company, and T. C. Byrne $100 for Byrne & Hammer. This would leave be tween $2,600 and $3,000 that the committee would have to raise. The committee will meet at luncheon Monday at the Commercial club and ex pects to decide whether or not to accept the offer of the Auditorium board of man agers. CHILD DIES FROM INJURY Daughter of C. J. Lyon ' Baecambs as Resalt of Fall from Tree. Miss Helen M. Lyon. 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Lyon, 2 Mason street, died at o'clock Friday evening from the effects of a fall sustained last Saturday. The girl fell from a tree and broke a wrist In such a manner that the bones penetrsted through the skin. It wss thought she was recovering until Fri day evening, when she took a change for the worse and died suddenly. The attend ing doctor explained that an air bubble got Into the bone and went to the child's "brain, which was an unusual circumstance. Miss Lyon was a bright girl and had many friends among her schoolmates and associates. She attended the Park school and the Sunday school of the First Baptist church. She had two sisters, Edith and liasel. Rev. J. W. Conley, P. C, pastor the funeral services at 2:30 p. m. Sunday at the family residence. REFORMS INJCEEPING BOOKS New Methods of Aadltlng Official Ac eoants Recommended by Comp troller's Office. Comptroller Lobeck and Deputy Comp troller Cosgrove have submitted a list of recommendations to the mayor and council for reforms in city auditing methods. Most of the suggestions relate to the police court, upon which considerable study lias been spent. The chief reform advocated apart from this Is a hard and fast rule to prevent any officer or department from ac cepting money for licenses, permits or fees of all kinds, but to Insist that the cash be handled through the treasurer's office exclusively, except that taken In the po lice court. To do this amendments In ordi nances will be necessary. For the market master, inspector of weights and meas ures and other officers who have to Issue certificates while away from the city hall, a system of coupon books or "stickers" Is suggested, these to be purchased by the officers from the treasurer and properly accounted fur. It Is suggested, too, that various forms of licenses and permits be simplified to avoid confusion. The checking of the police court record Is still In progress, but no developments yt Interest are announced. Saturday morning and was bound to th district court In the sum of $200. PAPA JEFF WINS THE LAND Connetlmaa Bedford Finds Ho and, Not His Son Drew Q.uar- . ter Section. J ,1 The other day ' Councilman Jeff Bedford received a letter from his son, Jeff, Jr., at Sheridan, Wyo., saying? he had drawn a quarter section of land on th Crow In dian reservation and wanted his father to come out and help him select his land. Mr. Bodford hastened out, but when ha got there he found that Instead of ths boy drawing, the land It was th "old man' The councilman admits th boy Is a chip off the old block and he Is busy trying to figure out to his own satisfaction whether or not Jeff, Jr., didn't know 'more about whose number drew the land than he pretended. Breaking; aad Knttrlsg. Pat Roach. .34 Larimers street, was ar rested Friday afternoon and locked up at the city Jail charged with breaking and entering. Roach's arrest followed a com plaint on the part of L. R. Miller of South Omaha, who Is building a house at Twenty second and Larlmore streets, that a num ber of tools, door locks and hinges valued at $10 had been stolen from the uncom pleted structure the night before. He di rected suspicion towsrd hosch and Detec tives Drummy and Maloney found ths miss ing articles In hlsroasesslon. Roach waived prcllmluary examination la the police court OVER FIVE TONS OF COFFEE Immense Order Is Placed with Omaha House by Federal Gov ernment. , The McCord-Brady company received from the United 8 La tea government a few days ago one of the largest order for coffee ever placed with a western grocery house. It was for 10,360 pounds, or moro than five tons, of coffee, and the order requited that it be furnished ground and delivered within twenty-four hours. Th facilities which the company has for grind ing permitted the filling of the order within the time limit. The government coffee contracts often exceed the figures In this case, but so far as known this was the largest order for ground coffee ever placed west of the Mississippi.
