GOOD RESOLUTIONS FADE
Former Police Character Retoraa to
the Red Lights Bringing
Baby. ,
Mrs. Delia Hayes was arrested Wednes
day by Police Officer Wooldrldg and Is
locked up at the ' city Jail on charges,
among which is that of cruelty to a child.
Th woman was at one time a police char
acter, but renounced her old life, married
and lived with her husband at 111? Ames
venue. The couple adopted a child, now
a few months old, to help brighten their
lives.
' Tuesday evening, It Is said. D. II. Smith,
a man who Is given a reputation by th
police as a consort of fallen women and
who knew the Hayes woman in her old
days, called on her. Her good Intentions
suddenly left her and, wrapping up the
tiny baby In some clothing, the two went
down town together. The child was taken
Intd a house of Ill-fame in the red light
district and let to care for Itself during
the night.
Complaint was made to the police by the
husband and he swore out warrants for
the arrest of tne pair. Smith was also

taken Into custody, and it Is likely the
child will be taken away from the woman
a an Improper person to be entrusted
with Its rearing.
After an extended hearing In police court
Thursday morning Smith and the woman
were sentenced to thirty days each In the
county Jail. The husband of the woman
pleaded, with the Judge to have the sen
tence set aside, promising to take caj-e of
her and keep her out of further trouble,
but failed in his efforts on account of the
notorious reputation of his wife,
Juvenile Officer Mogy Bernstein took
charge of the baby and will have it planed
In th Child' Saving Institute. The baby
was obtained from the Tlnley Rescue
Home, Fourth and Bancroft streets, which
will be subjected to an investigation by the
court, as it is alleged the Infant was given
to Mrs. Hayes without requiring the
presentation of references as to her good
character.

pected possibly of being Implicated in the
murder of Josephine Rummelhart. Oc
tober . and who was held at the city Jail
for Investigation, will be released .when
the sentence of thirty days, which he was
given, has expired.
Smith was arrested on the morning of
December 2S. by Officer Inda on the charge
of annoying women and children In the
vicinity of Twenty-fourth and Castellar
streets. When taken to the Jail be re
fused to give a coherent account of his
movements about tha time of ths Rummel
hart murder and It was thought he might
be connected with that heinous crime.
Smith said he was In St. Paul about the
tlm of th murder and this ha been
verified by Chief Donahue. This fact ex
onerated Smith from anj complicity In
the murder. "
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Gail Tank Ordinan Pefctttd, but Rcvd
aid BaoommitUd to Committee.
SOUTH SIDE CITIZENS CUT IN FORCE
Several Ceaacllmea State They Will
Vote for the Meanare If It I
Ameaeed to gait Their
Views.
Ths city legislative body labored hard
Wednesday evening In the council cham
ber,' taking up an accumulation of mat
ter which ran a wide gamut of public
matter. The most Important thing on th
program was the Bridges' gas tank ordi
nance, In anticipation of which a large
delegation of cltlxens from the vicinity of
Twentieth and Center street occupied
reat In the council chamber and loudly
applauded or hissed various speakers ac
cording to the sentiments expressed. After
considerable oratory had been released the
ordinance was voted down when It was
submitted for adoption, but to keep it
alive, with poslblllty of passage after a
slight modification as to proscribed terri
tory, the measure was recommitted to the
committee for further consideration, mean
ing It will soon be brought up for another
rote on Its passage.
The mention of the ordinance by the
clerk was a token for Interested person
to get the floor. Several south side cltl- ,
tens made urgent appeals for the ordi
nance, presenting the same argument
which have been offered In th council
room on past occasions. Among the coun
cilmen, Zlmman, Bridge and Funkhouser
espoused the measure with some vigor.
Councilman Funkhouser. brought In a
minority committee report recommending
passnge, the other members of the com
mittee declining to sign the report. Bridges,
Elsasser, Zlmman and Funkhouser were
those voting for the adoption of the com
mittee report: then, when tho ordinance
was offered for passage, those four were
Joined by Councilman Sheldon, making Ave
for and six against passage. On recommit
ment of the ordinance all agreed.
Bedford Wants Some Chances.
Although voting against the passage of
the ordinance Councilman Bedford said he
would vote for It If certain slight modifica
tions were made in the boundary lines of
the proscribed territory. Mr. Bedford
would not convmit himself as to what he
had in mind. With those modifications
made there are at present six tn favor of
the ordinance.
It was explained by Mr. Funkhouser that
should the ordinance fall of passage the
gas company could construct the proposed
holder at Twentieth and Center street or
any other location that might be selected.
President Johnson had to rap vigorously
for order, so great was the feeling of the
southslders present.
In connection with the gas tank matter
the council passed a resolution Instructing
Building Inspector Wlthnell not to Issue
ths gas company a permit for the erection
of any gas tanks until such time as the
council directed htm.
Councilman McOovern Introduced an ordi
nance prohibiting any obstructions to be
allowed over sidewalk lines. This ordi
nance, as Mr. McOovern explained It, con
templates the removal of all signs of what
soever character which project from build
ings and such article as merchandise or
signs placed on sidewalks. The ordinance
I sweeping In Its provisions, excepting only
flags or bunting on regular holidays or
special occasion. The ordinance was re
ferred to committee on Judiciary.
Sidewalk Inspectors Remain.
Councilman Bridges' concurrent resolu
tion directing that, the city engineer con
tinue the employment of Sam Spratlen,
Daniel Horrlgan and John Dennlson as side
walk Inspectors and pay them out of the
fund for Inspection of public works was
unanimously adopted with little comment.
On Tuesday Engineer Rosewater gave It
out he would let these men out unless the
council gave relief.
Councilman Jackson's concurrent resolu
tion that the Inspectors of street cuts be
retained and the fees collected for their
services be credited to the engineering de
partment, was referred to the finance com
mittee after considerable discussion. Mr.
Rosewater explained that the Inspection of
street cuts was an Important work and to
discontinue It would be against public in
terests. Mr, Zlmman held to the contrary.
On October 31 the council resolved that
owing to a shortage In ths engineering
department funds the street commissioner
should have charge of the repair of all
defective sidewalks In cases where the city
had been officially notified of such defects.
By resolution Councilman Bridges last
evening wanted to rescind the action of
last fall, but the other members thought
differently. Incidentally the discussion re
vived the deplorablo condition of many of
the city's sidewalks and the need of more-
rigid supervision over this work. Street
Commissioner Flynn said he had repaired
In one Instance to his knowledge the same
walk for three successive years. Just why
a permanent walk had not been ordered
placed was left for the sphynx to answer.
The council Intends that the street com
missioner shall repair the walks In
emergency cases and where the city may
be saved lawsuit.
Ordlaaaees la th Hopper.
Councilman Bedford's resolution that the
city engineer prepare preliminary plans for
the construction of a viaduct by the rail
roads crossing Locust street, between Thir
teenth and Fourteenth streets, was filed.
It was believed the new grade crossing
ordinance would cause sufficient protection
to be placed at that location.
Ordinances Introduced and referred to
committees:
Market house ordinance by Brucker, re.
establishing the regular market place at
the market house on Capital avenue and
prohibiting the location of another market
within a radius of 4.UU0 feet.
Councilman Sheldon, a smoke ordinance
conttilnlng modifications of present ordi
nance to include brick kilns.
Ordinances passed on final reading:
Piaclng auctioneers under bonds and
specifying the fineness of metals sold at
auction. By Brucker.
Grade crossing ordinance. By Brucker.
Ordinance creating the office of city gas
commissioner, defining his duties, fixing
alary and manner of appointment. By
Funkhouser.
Making it the duty of city electrician
to look aftrr regulation of gas lamps. By
Funkhouser.
Uatag for Electrle Lights.
City Electrician Mlchaelsen reported that
the total "outage" deducted during mos
from the bills of the Omaha Electric Light
and Power company against the city
amounted to tl.371.r7. This is rebate for
time arc lamps were out when they should
have been burning.
J. J. Mahoney, clerk of the police court,
reported that during 1908 there was col
lected In police court fines and costs In
the sum of S9.B90.
' Mrs. H. O. Strauss, wife of Dr. Straus
of th Emergency hospital, was allowed
$J6 per month for cooking, washing and
other work at that institution.
It was resolved that room us of the city
hall be devoted exclusively to the use of
the Associated Charities, which means that
Francis J. Ellison, former superintendent
of th Nebraska Human society, but now
occupying ths room, will hsvs to vacate.
Councilman McOovern reported hs had
knowledge that someone had stolen nln
loads of stone from an accumulation out
side the asphalt repair plant stockade.
The council resolved to buy supplies for
the year from the bidders furnishing low
est bids o particular items wanted, re
gardless of whether sny one bidder's total
might be lower than the totals of other
bidder. Thl method will save th city
a considerable amount.
AFFAIRS ATS0UTH OMAHA
Prominent Democratic Politician
Convert to Annexn
tlan. The office of a certain well known demo
crat ! one of the moet Important strategic
points In the political fortresses of Bouth
Omaha. More plans for ths management
of the city government and more especially
the democracy, have been discussed there
than In any other office In the city. One
reason for this Is that the owner Is public
minded and open to argument and convic
tion and every one likes to hear him ex
press himself. This he does In a forcible
wsy. He has always been a leeder In all
democratic campaigns and In this belief
he has been staunch. Nevertheless he has
been fearless In denouncing what he be
lieves to be wrong.
Testerday evening several men were there
and the subject of city affair and the
principle of annexation was broached. He
at once took a hand. "It strikes me as
ridiculous, thst the Identical men are
now the ring-leaders against annexation,
who six months ago fathered the notorious
city hall site deal which compelled the city
to purchase the site at Twenty-fourth and
O streets for S16.R25 when a preferable sit
could have been purchased for lees than
half that amount. Every ons can remember
th repeated efforts of T. J. O'Nell while
tax commissioner and afterward to Indues
the council to purchase the site, and how
he succeeded. He Is now chairman of the
antl-annexatlon league. With him are all
the satellites who assisted in that deal. It
looks to me like they are not actuated by
a feel I rig for the city's Interest, but rather
with a view to future deals."
"A few more unnecessary Injunctions."
said a listener, "will generate annexation
feeling to such a degree that) the people
will fall over themselves to get Into
Omaha,"
"And how can they help It when we hear
of such shady looking actions as are re
ported from this administration," was the
reply.
A trifle over a block down the street Is a
well known real estate dealer's office. "Be
ing a democrat and a good personal friend
to the present city officials," said tho oc
cupant. "I withhold my name from any
Interview; but I will say that If I were
called on at a public meeting to express
my views and' sentiments I would favor
annexation In positive terms."
Such expressions from old time demo
crats shows that It Is no partisan feellny
which Is surely bringing the two cities
together.
Foot Crushed In Elevator.
Luke Flaherty, living at 3021 R street,
had his right foot badly crushed In the
elevator at the Omaha Packing plant yes
terday morning. Flaherty Is the elevator
operator and has been In the employ of the
company for several years. As he was
starting on an up trip his foot was Jammed
between tho elevator and the frame and
the right Instep badly crushed. He was
taken to the South Omaha hospital, where
two of his toes were amputated. It Is
thought that the foot Itself may be saved.
Unless there should be some Infection.
Two Officials Cannot Agree.
City Clerk J. J. Glllin and his assistants
are about to ask the city council to build
a temporary partition between the offices
of the clerk and the treasurer. The rea
son for this Is the fact that the deputy
treasurer Is so busy that he cannot keep
cool unless he has the front door wide
open. A larger per cent of the city taxes
have been collected this year up to date
than have ever been known before. About
115.000 old personal taxes have been col
lected which had long been given up' as
bad. The deputy treasurer has, therefore,
been busy and has kept warm, but the
clerk In the next office has been frosen
out, so he says. He has taken a cold
lately which borders on pneumonia. Not
only he, but his assistants, are continually
afflicted with shivers. Miss Mabel Trapp,
In the building Inspector's office, has also
succumbed and lies sick at home. Yester
day noon the clerk went into the treas
urer's office and turned on the electric
fan, such as Is used In the summertime.
He was hoping that a heavy wind would
rise and that the temperature would go
down to forty below sero, so he could
open all the windows and retire to the
police Judge's office until the treasury de
partment cooled off. The cost of the parti
tion will be about $60.
Wagon Smashed by Car.
William Collins, a grocer at Thirty
fourth and T streets, met with a serious
accident to his horse and rig and some
severe bruise to his person Tuesday night.
He was driving his delivery wagon when
caught by the West Q street car as it
backed around the T at the end of the
line at Thirty-ninth and Q streets. The
wagon was demolished. The horse had a
foreleg broken and Mr. Collins was bruised
and shaken up by being thrown to the
ground.
Eagles' Installation.
The Installation of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles Tuesday night was a most en
joyable Affair. A large crowd was in the
hall and there were many women who
graced the assembly with their presence. An
extensive program was carried out. One
of the chief features was the extraordinary
fine address delivered by Dr. F. M. Sisson,
Rev. Mr. Sisson has the rsther unique
honor of being the only Methodist minis
ter In the state who belongs to the Eagles.
He has taken great interest in the affairs
of the order.

SHAPING LEGISLATION A PATRIOTIC DUT-
Every Cltlsen Shoald Take Interest la
the Proceedings of Legislators
and I'rge Action One Way
or Another on Bills.
8ILVER CREEK, Neb., Jan. 7. To the
Editor of The Bee: Just now It appears
to be the fashion to Jump on to the poor
lobbyist. Governors, state conventions and
newspapers have it In for him and no ono
has a word to say for him.
What Is a lobbyist anyway? Nothing
more or less than a person who frequents
the capltol and hotels during a session of
tho legislature and works among members
with a view to securing or preventing cer
tain legislation In which he, or those he
represents. Is interested. But to do that
is the undoubted right of every citizen
under the constitution. Not only is It a
right,- but within certain limits It Is a
duty the citizen owes to himself and the
people of the state. If every man kept sil
entnever said whether he was for or
against any proposed measure, or suggested
a measure of his own, thus leaving mem
bers In blank Ignorance of what the people
wanted, It would be Impossible for them
to act Intelligently. Instead of having
fewer lobbyists It would be better to have
more.
"But," says some one, "we do not object
to that sort of lobbyist. It Is against the
professional lobbyist that we protest."
And what is a professional lobbyist? A
lobbyist who works for hire or a repre
sentative of a railroad or other great cor
poration, and who upon occasion, is sup
posed to resort ' to corrupt methods to ac
complish his purposes. But, waiving Just
now the question of corruption, there can
be no valid objection to such lobbyists.
If a municipality, a fraternal organization,
the brewers' association or the state anti
saloon league, for example. Is Interested
In certain legislation, what good and suf
ficient reason Is there why they should not
employ competent persons to represent
them? Or would It be better that they
should shut up shop and go enmasse to
Lincoln? And why should not railway,
telephone and treet car companies, banks
and all that, have their representatives to
favor or oppose legislation affecting their
Interests? The contention that they should
not Is monstrous, preposterous, undemoc
ratic and unrepubllcan. It Is very desir
able that they should have such repre
sentatives or lobbyists, it you please, to
present their cases from their own stand
point. For how could members of the
legislature act Intelligently If they did not
hear all sides and have all the facts? And
what difference to them whether they got
their facta from professional , lobbyists or
any other source? They, themselves,
would be the final Judges of their value.
As to corruption, we have our criminal
code. If that won't meet the situation, no
special legislation will. A law against
lobbyists as demanded in convention plat
forms and newspaper would be not only
Impracticable, but unconstitutional. 8mMl
we undertake to say In this boasted land
of free speech that men and women shall
not talk to members of the legislature?
Are we prepared to admit that those we
have chosen to make our laws are a lot
of knaves, weaklings and Idiots? Are mem
bers of the legislature themselves prepared
to admit that they are a flock of ewe
lambs, around which should be built a
tight board fence to keep out wolves and
vicious dogs? Will they stutlfy themselves
and cast suspicion on every one of their
constituents who may happen to come to
Lincoln this winter by enacting an anti
lobby law? If they are men let them have
none of this anti-lobby menkey work.
No lobbyist ever hurt a member of the
legislature who was fit to be a member of
the legislature. CHARLES W008TER.

BROKEN BOW, Neb.. Jan. T.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Burlington Lobbyist
Frank II. Young of Broken Bow is talking
of locating at Lincoln. It Is also reported
that he will work under G. W. Iloldrege.
Custer county has been a standing dis
grace In state republican politics, owing
84 TEARS OLD.
Pure Malt
to the fine Italian hand of Frank H.
Toung and his captains who have con
nected this county's political Influence with
the Burlington political influence st Lin
coln. It is claimed by those who should
know that his Influence Is exerted In both
the republican and populist parties In Cus
ter county and he gets what he wants
from one or the other parties.
Watch the following fellows: Alpha
Morgan of Broken Bow, on the state cen
tral committee; John Reese, with the
United States land office at Broken Bow;
L. H. Jewett, postmaster at Broken Bow;
Sam Cannon, A. H. Copsey of Broken
Bow, George Palmer, of Broken. Bow, W.
II. Wilson of AnBelmo, the line elevator
man and . representative from Custer
county, Frank H. Young's handy man,
and T. T. Varney, ten years postmaster
at Ansley, another of Frank H. Young's
handy men. These are the generals and
captains of the Burlington Influence which
tarns this county's political influence over
at Lincoln.
Frank H. Young cannot come before the
people of Custer county and get the small
est office in the gift of the voters of the
county, and why he has such a strong pull
on the political Influence is more than one
can understand. Frank H. Young went all
the way to Chicago to protest to the In
terstate Commerce commission that the
Roosevelt railroad rate bill, then before
congress, was not demanded by the people
of Custer county, when at that very time
ninety-five out of every hundred were with
the president. X. X.

THOUGHT SUGGESTION CURE
That with a Little Chloroform Cares
B. M. Crystal at Police
Station.
A little thought suggestion did the work
of splints and surgical Instruments at ths
police station Wednesday night, when E.
I M. Crystal, intoxicated and protesting that
bis leg was broken, was taken to th sta
tion In the patrol wagon and carried Into
the doctors' office on a stretcher. Crystal
was picked up on tha street by Detectives
Pattullo and Davis, lying on the sidewalk,
and they called the wagon.
At every Jar, the man groaned and cried
at the terrible pain caused him. and when
the surgeons attempted to locate the exact
position of the Injury, such a pitiful howl
ing and begging in protest resulted that
chloroform was resorted to. Ths examina
tion went on, but failed to reveal the
slightest injury. In less than a minute
Crystal awoke and looked about. He
could not tell how long he had slept, nor
what had been done to him during that
time. "Come on, get up, you're all right
now," he was told, and being helped to his
feet, hs walked into the desk sergeant's
office to be booked and locked up a an
ordinary drunk, without even a grimace,
believing himself entirely cured of pain by
the doctors.
Th case against Crystal was dismissed
