IN MEMORY OF GARIBALDI
Hnndredth Anniversary of Birth of
Great Liberator Observed by
Omaha Italians.
Omaha Italians yesterday commemorated
the one hundredth anniversary of the birth
of the great patriot of their native land.
Garibaldi, the liberator. . Preparations fon
the day had been going on for weeks,
Samuel Mancuao being chairman of an
active committee on arrangements.
Washington hall waa the place of assemb
ling and there more than ISO men of Italian
birth and descent assembled In the morn
ing, eivery man wa. decorated with a
Garibaldi badge, consisting of the tricolor
plrTTfed with a large button on which was
a picture of Garibaldi with the Intertwined
flag, of Italy and the United Statea.above.
Preceded by a band and a platoon of police,
the parade proceeded along the principal
downtown streets and then took cars at
Fifteenth and Howard streets for the park.
Following the band were two men in a
profusely decorated carriage. One of these
wss V. Rambaxso, president of the Omaha
Italian club. But It waa the other man
who occupied the prominent place during
the day. He was Michael Tedesco, who
holds thq unique distinction of having
fought with Garibaldi In aome of the battles
of the great liberator. He was dressed
yesterday tn a uniform such as waa worn
by Garibaldi himself, and, needless to say,
waa the recipient of much praise and had
to relate hla personal reminiscences many
times in the course of the day. The day
whs of double Importanco to him for It
waa also his seventieth birthday. He was
born on July 7, 1837.
At Hlbbler'a park occurred the great
celebration. A number of speakers ad
dressed the crowd and there were games
and dancing. Among the speakers wero
E. Q. ' Maggt. chief clerk to Governor
Sheldon; E. A. BensVm and Peter Coldeslna.
All the speakers paid the highest tributes
to the memory of the great man In whose
honor the day waa celebrated.
So thorough were the arrangements of
tha committee In charge of the affair that
not one thing occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day. It was voted one of the moat
successful picnics ever given in Omaha by
the Italians.

a man who was Interested In the report
that the city engineer had accepted an ap

'When I voted against Mr. Rosewater,"
continued the acting mayor, "I did so to
give the place to another man, not be

doing the work In Omaha and advising

Dewey. Mr. Dewey Is scouring the city
for locations for voting places, but Is hav

people are so prosperous, the $24 they
would get for the space doe not appeal
to them. Formerly there was a large num
ber cf placea In almost every precinct
available, but thla year It will be neces
sary to use rooma In private dwelllnga

of tha shortage of suitable places. Mr.

one thing which possibly might block our
plans would be a 'hold-up' by the present
owners of the surrounding land. This land
Is owned by large corporations and power
ful Interests that could set legal machinery
In motion to spoil this great project or at
least to delay It. The land adjoining the
lake is, of course, worth nothing In Itself.
I think the Park commission could pay 175
an acre for It. Vnless we buy It, It has no
value. ,
Outlines of the Plan.
"After we have acquired the land there
are Ml acres of It, covering the lake front
age from Ixcust street north, around and
down tho other horn of the lake to Avenue
F, East Omaha tho real work of parking
and lake Improving would begin. Possibly
$400 an acre would be spent on landscape
gardening, boulevard construction and
dredging the lake. The railroad trestle
which cuts oft a considerable part of tha
west arm of tho lake, would be rebuilt so
aa to give an opening for boat to sail
through.
Another thing we Intend to do I to get
the government to build a levep at Flor
ence lake o aa to preclude the possibility
of overflow Into the land surrounding
Cut-Off lake in the future. This work
would cost probably I100.COO and It would
add $400 an acre to the ,0n0 acres of land
which are now subject to overflow and
are, therefore, of little value for crops.
This answer one of the strongest objec
tions made to the Cut-Oft prk project. I
I have received many lettera from pcron
pointing out that If we construct this
park It will be overflowed periodically.
But under th plana as outlined w will
add to the value of 6.000 acres of farm
land $2,400,onO. At the same time we will
shut out the Missouri forever, from Cut
Off lake. This la a mere Incident In the
Tlan, but a pretty big and profitable In
cident."
rrlnress of Parked Lake.
Look, then, at th transformed Cut-Off
of the future and of the near future if
the plana of the commission are not In
terfered with by short-sighted owners!
of property desired. It is a transforma
tion aa wonderful aa a play. As Becky,
the ragged newsglrl of the first, act. Is
transformed Into Lady Viola, dauilng in
her radiance In the fourth act. ao Cut-Off
the creature of weeds and railroad tracks
today, will be transformed Into the
princes of parked lakea In the west. Th
weed will be cut out and torn lip by the
dredges. The bed of the lake will be
deepened and the earth taken out will
be spread on the shores to raise It above j
possible overflow.
At the Locust street end of the water
will be large boat house. Near the pres
ent site of Larson's place will be a big
pavilion. This Is a point of vantage useful
tn boat races, for It commands a view
of a mile to the south and of nearly two
miles to the east.
In the vicinity of the pavilion will be
the main part of the park proper. The
land to be acquired there extends back
a considerable distance from the water
far enough to allow room for a half mil
race courae, ball ground, ground for the
Grand Army of the Republic and other
encampments, playgrounds for children,
etc.
A great stone archway will mark the
main entrance to the park on Ames avenue.
Around the entire lake frontage of the
park, which la more than three and a half
miles, will run the boulevard. Thla Is
the only level stretch of boulevard of any
distance In the city. And here the com
mission proposes to make an automobile
course, free of any road crossings, a place
where autolst can turn loose to test the
fullest speed of thejr machines without
danger to anyone but themselves.
There will also be ample bathing houses,
for Cut-Off lake possesses as fine s sandy
beach aa Atlantic City and Its water t
perfectly pure, being -for the mot part
filtered through aand from the neighbor
ing Missouri river.
The lake will be stocked with fish suffi
cient to give all the people of Omaha the
best of hook and Una fishing.
This I what the park commission plana
to give Omaha for a paltry $100,000 or so.
It will put Omaha tn a class by Itself and
will probably bring many sporting fvents
to tho city. It will also be a great adver
tisement for the ctty. And all is to be
created out of a place which In Ita present
condition Is almost worthless both to Its
owners end to the public.
