the Bare.
One of the moat- bountiful dinner that
has ever been served at the. city Jail was
dispensed Christmas day to mere hand
ful of unfortunates, as the Jail was nearly
depopulated of Its . Inhabitants Tuesday
morning when Judge Crawford discharged
all those- who- bad been arrested for minor
offenses. If half of the prisoners who
were discharged had known what a dinner
w.ts In preparation no doubt many of them
would have Insisted on feeling the stern
hand of the taw for at least one day In
order to partake of the spread.
The catereaa at the city Jail, Mrs. Hus
ton, equaled. If she did not surpass, her
best efforts In the culinary art, and tha
fragrant aroma of roast turkey and
chicken that was wafted from the kitchen
to the office made the mouth of many A
hungry blueooat watsr with anticipation
of what was coming te him at home.
Roast turkey, several turkeys in fact,
any number of roasted chickens, with
cranberry sauce on the side, was the plec
de resistance of the dinner to the ' Jail
prisoners, and tha quantity was as satis
factory as the quality was satisfying to
the discriminating palates. Vegetables
galore, arranged in appetizing array, were
also provided- For dsert tha "poor un
fortunates" (?) were given . generous
quantities of mince pie, apples, oranges,
nuts and raisins, which was followed by
coffee and ta.
Altogether, It was one of the most suc
cessful and thoroughly appreciated din
ners that was ever given at the Jail, and
many prisoners ' were heard to remark:
"Ma fur the city Jail next Christmas,
too."
Prisoners at the county Jail were made
hippy yesterday by gifts consisting of
candy and oranges from Sheriff McDonald.
A whole bucket of candy and a box of
cranges were distributed to guests of the
county. In the afternoon the Women's
Christian Tomperanco union, represented
by Mrs. Shinrock and Mrs. Patton, held
special services for the men and dis
tributed among the prisoners small sprigs
of holly, to which was attached a card
bearing a verse of scripture.
At the county hospital no special ser
vices were held. Superintendent Ferrer
provided 224 sacks filled with apples,
oranges, candy and other delicacies and
distributed them among the wards. Tho
dinner consisted of chicken, mashed pota
toes, mince pie and all the usual Christ
mas trimmings and was served at 2 o'clock.
WHERE DEKRS LIK DOWH TO REST
St. James' Orphan Visited by Santa
Claas HeaTlly Laden.
If all the Journeying of Santa C!aus there
is no place he would rather visit than an
orphanage. It Is said upon reliable author
ity that his reindeer He down to rest when
they sea him disappear down the chimney
of an orphanage, for they know that he will
not be back very soon. The reindeers had
a long wait outside of St. James' orphan
age at Benson Tuesday night for the Jolly
old saint found so many and such Interest
ing children waiting for him within the
building that ha tarried a long time.
The attention of Santa Claus had been
particularly directed to this institution by
Mr. Normile, Mr. Redmond, the Knights of
Columbus and Mrs. Frank McGinn. The
first two named gentlemen had Santa Claua
call at their store where they gave him
books, clothing, - dishes, ' dolls' 'and otuer
things with explicit instructions that they
be delivered to the boys and girls at the
orphantge. Mrs. Frank McGinn gavo Santa
a suit of clothes of finest quality for every
boy in the Institution and material to make
a dress for each of the girls together with
money enough to pay for the making. She
also told him to be sure and not tell who
was the donor, but the old saint felt so
thankful that he went straight and told.
.When he came down the chimney Tues
day evening he found the most brightly
lighted room and about as much delight
and good will as could be found in Omaha
on that happy evening. In the big upper
room , of the orphanage, the 135 children
were gathered, boys, girls and babies.

CHRISTMAS DAY IN SEW YORK
Thirty-Seven Thousand D;LDen Dis
tributed A
FEAST AT SULLIVAN ASSOCIATION ROOMS
Food and t'lotalaa; for Tbonsand
of tho Kast Side Homeless
Dinner at the Denrrf
Mission.
NEW YORK, Iec. ie.-New York cele
brated, today the moat bounteous Christinas
It has in many years. . Ideal winter weatner
clear, cold and sunshiny marked the day.
Thirty-seven thousand of the city's poor
shared In the distribution of Christmas I
dinners by the Salvation Army, Timothy
D. Sullivan and th Bowery mission. Five '
thousand baskets and 1,000 bugs, each con
taining a fowl and "fixings" sufficient for
a family of. five persons or more, was dis
tributed by Commander Eva Booth of the
Salvation Army at tha Grand Central pal
ace from 11 to 1 o'clock. The people were
admitted to the great hall in squads of
200 and presented with a basket of food.
The usual Christmas dinner at the palace
was abandoned, as Commander Booth was
convinced the recipients of gifts preferred
to take them to their own' homes 'and pre
pare their dinners after their own fashion.
This ma is It possible to add 1,Cj0 bags to
the amuunt distributed.
In the afternoon occurred th? annual
Christmas tree and distribution of more
than 3,000 toys to the children. Commander
Booth said that the poor had suffered
more this year than last, as the price of
food and rents had been, advanoed.
More than 8,000 of the homeless of the
East Side partook of Christmas dinner at
the Timothy D. Sullivan association rooms
In the Bowery. No distinctions were made
between applicants, except that the lame
and blind were given preference th the line
of those waiting for admission. The ma
jority of those . who came for food were
evidently In sad need of clothing, for many
were without overcoats and hundreds wore
only the remnants of shoes. The day was
bitterly cold. As each man departed from
the hall a pouch full of tobacco, a pipe
and a ticket for a pair of shoes was given
h.lm and then the hall was cleared for the
admission of another group of 300.
One hundred and fifteen baskets of food
and clothing were distributed to poor
women at Bowery mission this morning
and tonight more than 1,200 men partici
pated in the mission's annual Christmas
dinner. Five hundred dinner bags, each
containing enough, for a dinner for ten
persons, were distributed by the Volunteers
of America.
Twenty thousand persons In the penal
and charitable Institutions of New York
City enjoyed Christmas dinners, the gift
either of the city or of charitable organ
izations. In many of the Institutions there were en
tertainments. Harry K. Thaw's Christmas
dinner at the Tombs was sent down from
a big cafe by order of his wife.
Pablle Business Suspended.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. A general sus
pension of public business marked the cele
bration of Christmas in thl city. Only
matters of the most urgent nature were At
tended to and In consequence .the . array
of government employes and officials were
free to enjoy the day.
As has been the custom In tho past sim
plicity everywhere surrounded the events
at tha White House. Tha president was an
early riser and transacted considerable
business. The. presents Were many and
beautiful. Early In the morning the entire
family. Including Representative and Mrs.
Longworth, assembled' upstairs and the
gifts were passed around. A large tree was
on conspicuous exhibition. Tonight at 8
o'clock the family ate their Christmas din
ner. ' -'
Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks spent
the day quietly In their home, as did the
various cabinet members and their families.
" Special Services In San Francisco.
BAN FRANCISCO, Deo. 25. With all the
pomp and elaborate ceremonial and with
special music the sanctuaries of San Fran
cisco celebrated Christmas today. It was
no ordinary Christmas for San Francisco.
Half of the churches have been rebuilt on
less pretentious lines since the disaster of
last April. But that was the only change.
The same spirit animated the church-goers
as filled them a year ago, when none
dreamed of what was in store for the city.
This fact was brought out In many of the
Christmas sermons.
In all the churches service of especial
splendor were held. St. Mary's cathedral
was opened for the first time since April
19, and there was a large attendance at
the mass celebration at 11 o'clock by Arch
bishop Montrmery.
Chrlstmaa Tree at Potsdam.
POTSDAM, Dec. . Emperor William
took his usual Christmas morning walk in
the environs ot the palace today and chat-
j ted with chance passorsby. According to
,im..knn n,.im r pr,.i.n
the time-honored custom of Prussian sov
ereigns, he gave, at parting, to such as
were of th lower rank In life a freshly--minted
gold piece, which, like all money
for - the emperor' personal use, was
highly polished by the mint. Returning to
the palace he received deputations from
various bodies, who brought gifts, such
a a huge cake presented yearly by th
Second Guard regiment.
Among the trees at the Chrlatmas eve
celebration at the palace was a tiny one
for the Imperial grandchild, who took part
in the family rejoicings. Their majesties
conducted each-member of the family to
the lighted Christmas tree, beneath which
the presents lay for distribution.
TOO MUCH HOLIDAY CHEER
Police Have Fin Collection at
Their Boarding- and Lodalna;
Hons.
While the cheer of Christmas filled th
hearts of Omahans nearly to overflowing
Tuesday, many there wer who found It
necessary to take the gladness In liquid
doses or get left Others, wishing to
spread the warm, good feeling Invited their
friends and others to "have on with me,"
th compliment being returned until time
to call the polio.
A a result, two of th busiest spots in
th city during th evening wer th room
with th Christmas tree and th polk sta
tion. They began, to drop In early at th
city bastile, too full of artificial holiday
spirit to mak th round of Christmas call.
Lucky were those who wer picked up be
fore trouble overtook them, so that only a
charge ot "drunk" went opposite their
names on -the Jail register. But those who
become quarrelsome when they drink mad
much trouble all over the city, and the
number of calls for the police almost
quailed that of a hallowe'en.
One of the first to crosa tha bounds of
propriety was F. W. Compton, Kf2 Bouth
Twenty-second street, and hi vent waa ex
; hausted on th member of his family. His
operation resulted In an appeal to th
polio and Patrolman llaltermaa was
obliged to haul the man to Jail, where he
was locked up charged with being drunk
and abusing his family.
Theodora Thompson. 140 North Sixteenth
street, grew great In his fistlo abllltiv and
got after a friend who had no deslr what,
ver to pull off a prise fight on the Christ
mas day. Patrolman L A. Smith was th
good gngol who stopped a bloody scone, and
Thompson went to Jail to answer for as
sault and battery ,
While both were well In their cups, Rd
Crutchfleld and Mary Hooker, two Third
ward colored residents, became engaged In
a noisy fuse and Crutchfleld so far forget
himself as to draw his trusty knife and
stnb the representative of the gentler sex.
It was very ungallant and Crutchfleld was
arrested for It. Miss Booker was also
locked up after a bad gash In her ha Ad had
been sewed up by Police Surgeon Harris. .

Manufacturer of America.
Quartermaster '' General Humphrey's
speech at the dinner given in Washington
last week by the members ;of tho. Assocla- (
tion of Licensed Automobile '.Manufactur
ers, who went to Washington l to invite
President RoosevelCto JLhe seventh ria-;
tional automobile show,, .was not only . In
teresting from the point 'of view taken
by the head of the army relative to au
tomobiles as a coming means' of .' army
transportation, but contains some very. In
teresting predictions as to- the future of
the gasoline buggy. He. 'cited many In
stances where the automobile would fa
cilitate the work at the army posts. As
a means of transportation of soldiers he
was non-communlcntlve. Ho predicted that
the automobile for the! heavy "work of'
hauling material and ammunition and do
ing the usual work of the army horse or
mule 'Was possible and that the Innova
tion of the automobile, would soon sup
plant the former method Of transportation
He was In favor, of tha automobile " for
general use in the army and hoped that
the time was not far away when the adop
tion: of the automobile would facilitate
the now arduous work of many of the
army departments.' General Humphrey,
however. Is of the opinion that in order
to muke the adoption of the automobile
in the army practical It would be neces
sary to consider the all-important ques
tionthat of the chauffeur. He was of
tho opinion that to. perfect the system
and maintain a well-organized automobile
corps In the anny that a department for
chauffeurs would have to be established
at West Point or at the various military
posts. How near General Humphrey's re
marks were to the point is evidenced by
the formation and action taken by the
Chauffeurs' club at Hartford. This or
ganization has Just Issued a circular call
ing attention to the fact that the co
operative movement among the manufac
turers of automobiles has been so success
ful that the chauffeurs of America could
not do better than follow tha lead Of the
automobile makers. In part, the circular
reads:
The automobile Industry Itself, that
brought Into existence the necessity for
the profession of expert motor drivers, la
yet quite young, altliough its present mag
nitude makes it a tiling that must be reck
oned with in the commercial world. It
would seem from a superficial view point
that the interests . of , every manufacturer
of automobiles wo u hi J be diametrically op
posed to that of every other manufacturer
of automobiles, because he is in direct
competition in the sale of his cars. But
th brains controlling the millions of dollar
Invested in this industry conceived the
different and very correct idea that by
close association and exchange., of views
the Industry, as a whole..would be better
benefited and ImproyMi.j .and they were
shrewd enough to ieaUhat thls thust neces
sarily benefit each'MmliVldtial manufacturer.
provided, of coursehat-the work he was
turning out was meritorious. The same
rule applied In a smaller way would also
be good for the men who were driving
their own cars." 'TrleTveoThnetltron feature
with us was, of course, not an Important
tactor, ana the etier element among
chauffeurs could see and feel that there
were many abuses 0M,' ceuld be eliminated,
many wrongs that could be righted, and
many things that could be done to lm
prove the personnel-tef the -chauffeur, and
thereby improve his standing in the com
munity, and the esteem' in which he waa
held by society as a whoie. This was "a
consummation devoutly wished" by the
more Intelligent among us, so the question
of organising for the common good began
to tako shape, and' after a little intelligent
work and discussion, out of chaos sprang
the Chauffeur's club of Hartford.
We are endeavoring to raise the stand
ard of our profession and every applicant
for membership must undergo a thorough
examination. Morally he must be up to
our high standard. As to his ability to
operate and care for a car, each applicant
must stand an examination aa rigid as a
civil service examination.

which preceded the strike of the teamster.
Th court ruled that the defense would

of th controversy. Th decision of the
court was considered a victory by the de
fense. Charles Dold, president of the Chicago
Federation of L&txr. at the time of tho
teamsters' strike, took th tand and de
clared that before th teamster went on
