KENDRICK BUfilED Former Omaha Newspaper Man Who Shoots Himself at Rest at Fort Smith. Andrew Jackson Kendrick, who shot him self In New York Sunday and died a day or two later, was burled Wednesday at Fort Smith, Ark., where he resided and was editor and owner of tha News-Record. This Information came to his Omaha friends, who were numerous. Mr. Kendrlck's suicide was due to 111 health, which preyed upon a highly nerv ous temperament. He had achieved distinct success in his chosen pursuit, the news paper business, and was in a position best to enjoy the fruits of his arduous labor when a nervoua collapse came aome three months ago. City editor of The Bee, city editor of th Chicago New and finally editor and owner of one of the most In fluential papers in his portion of the south, Mr. Kendrick had continued successful. His breakdown Is traced to a collapse he had while city editor of th Chicago News Just after the reign of terror of the an archists, which culminated In the Hay market riot. Some year or so ago Mr. Kendrick, who had made a close study of the Industrial side of the south, was commissioned by James J. Hill to go to the Orient and ex ploit the cotton trade. On that trip he passed through Omaha, stopping -to visit with some of his old friends. About three months ago when his break down cam Mr. Kendrick wa obliged to relinquish the management of his paper to his brother and ha went to a sanitarium In Buffalo and thence to New York, where h hoped to recover hi health.

HAMM GETS AFTER TRADE St. Paul Brewery with DtstrlbatlnsT Center In Omaha Begins Crn vaad for Business. J. E. Davison, local manager of the Omaha branch of the Theodore Hamm Brewing company of St. Paul, which has Just opened Its branch In Omaha, has started hi. crusade for business In Omaha. "We expect to make the Hamm product one of the best known brews In Omaha," said Mr. Davison. We have the largest and best known brewery in the northwest and have started our crusade for business In this territory. Our buslnesa at St. Paul has shown a wonderful Increase and wa ar branching out." ' Mr. Davison formerly had charge of the Iowa and southern Minnesota territory, where he was successful, and has bean put In charge of the Omaha branch because of his well known ability to push trade. N. B. Abbott, advertising manager of the Theodore Hamm Brewing company, ar rived In Omaha Wednesday morning to look over the situation with reference to an advertising campaign. ''Our Arm has decided upon Omaha as a distributing point for the western terri tory," said Mr. Abbott. "Our business has shown an enormous Increase this year and w are spending over t-W.ooO In the erec tion or a new stock bouse to keep pace with our growing trade. There is an In creasing demand for bottle bear each year and the output of, our bottle beer depart ment Increased over 40 per cent last year, and this year' record bids fair to beat that of last year. "The Arm looked over several other western cities before locating this branch and finally decided that Omaha offered the best advantages. With Mr. Davison' well known ability as a hustler there is no ques tion but Hamm's beer will soon be one of the best known In tha west." MUCH SEWER WORK COMING Construction Work Wtll Oeeapy Long; Time In the Coming t Year. Sewer construction will occupy Omaha to a considerable extent during the coming year. In addition to the big Ixard street outlet there will be constructed this year If possible the California street sewer, which was authorised by the council Tues day night and plans are under way for the construction of th Jones street relief ewer to a point near the corner of Twen tieth and Center streets. The California street project 1 consid ered the most Important at present, aa It will relieve a comparatively large portion of tha central part of the city from storm water, which has for years torn up pave ments and damaged property. This sewer will start at the corner of Sixteenth and California streets, where It will Join the sewer to the river, run thence to Twenty third street on California street, thence to Casa street on Twenty-third, thence to Twenty-fourth, thence to Chicago, thence to Twenty-fifth and will end at Twenty--fifth and Dodge streets. This sewer ulti mately will be connected with new sewer to be built along Chicago and Davenport street west of Twenty-fifth. The sewer will be forty-two Incho In diameter at Its southwestern end and It capacity will be sufficient to handle storm water falling at the rate of two Inches per hour. The' extension of th Jone treet relief ewer 1 a matter of longer time, but It will care for more ground than that In the Cal ifornia street sewer district. The Intention Is to run the aewor from Its present west ern end north along the railroad tracks crossing these tracks near the viaduct and running along the government corral. It Is expected to care for water from those streets which are now flooded every time i rain falls. GARNISHMENT LAW FRUITS Many Cases Under IVew Statnte Will Soon Be In the Justice Courts. Oarnlahment proceedings under the new law will soon be numerous In local Justice courts, says the July number of the Re tail Merchanta' Journal, whose editor Is the manager of a local credit bureau and ougl t to know. The Journal Bay: R.V0 mlnK the office Indicate there will likely be about ?no garnishee proceedings brought in the Justice of the peace court? of this city against people who owe hill- long past due that they have purposely re- I '" iu my. inn no oount will cause some action on the part of the employers of such people concerning having their 'sal aries garnisheed each month or oftener perhaps U will result In the employer making a rule In bualness that all their employes must avoid having salaries garn teheed if they expect to remain In the em ploy of the company. These companies will surely get tired of appearing In court so many times, even If they do get II for each appearance, for that will not nearly pay them for the time and trouble to ao pear and answer the summons. Thus the moral effect of the law will be the greater benefit to the merchant than the 10 per cent that he would get by attaching the sal ary. STEPFATHER SEEKS CHILD Christian Raamuaaea Asks Court to Give Hint Daughter of His Wife. The unusual situation of a stepfather ask ing for tha custody of his wife's child by a former marriage Is presented In the divorce suit brought by Helen Rasmussen against Christian Rasmussen. Mr. Rasmussen filed his answer and cross-petition In the suit Wednesday. He says when they wer mar ried he legally adopted little Gladys, th young daughter of hi wife.

Basil Mullen the second of tbe trio to face the charge of murdering Han Pak the Douglas street Chinaman, was brnught to the Omaha city Jail by Detective Steve Moloney early Wednesday morning from Lenox, la., where he was arrested. "The others did It," he says, "1 helped, but they started It. I went away with them and I got part of the money." The confession which he made to the police Wednesday morning does not agree with Allmack's story of the crime. The police believe each of the boys Is trying to shift th burden of the blame on the other two. "Doo" Pumphrey will soon be appre hended If the plans of Chief of Detectives Savage are successful. Th two captives were taken into police court Wednensday morning for arraign ment, but the county attorney decided to delay that action. The complaints wore filed against them before extradition papers were obtained and the only process neces sary before they can be tried Is the ar raignment before the police Judge, after which, If the state Is successful, they wilt be bound over to th district court. Tha boy have not yet engaged lawyera to de fend them. Both Boy Are Scared. Allmack and Mullen were together In police court, but did not speak. They both appeared to be wrestling with an attack of excited nerves, which their extremo youth does not help. Chief Donahue posi tively refused to allow the newspapers to Interview Mullen. If either Allmack or Mullen has thrown any light upon the present location of their pal, Pumphrey, whose card to Miss Parr gave the tip which led to th arrest of Allmack In St Louis, the police have not divulged the fact. They appear confident, however, of having Pumphrey within a little while. He Is said to be with some rela tives In a small town near St. Louis. Mullen Rather Loquacious. Mullen has been much more talkative since his arrival In Omaha than Allmack, but he has not been allowed to confer with anyone, but the detectives and the County attorney. His confession to th police wss practically a clean breast of th whole matter, He told how the three beat the Chinaman Into Insensibility and then took his money, a little over tlOO, and went on the first train out of OmaTia. "It's a pretty bad business," he said to one of the officers." I don't like to b tn'xed up In anything like a murder." The two boy are Imprisoned separately and hav not conferred together.

FOR SALE $10 Jumper Suits OMAHA COUNCIL MAKES EXTRA WORK' Separation of Street Contracts En tails Some Added Expense. ACTION VIOLATES ALL PRECEDENT Allows Pinal Estimate for Pavlnsj and Reject Them for Curbing and Ciutterlngr Leavenworth and Vinton Street. Tha city engineer's office is facing extra work on account of the action of the coun cil In allowing the final estimate for paving Twenty-fourth street from 'Leavenworth to Vinton street and refusing to allow the final estimate for curbing and guttering the same. Since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary it has been the custom of the council to allow these final estimates to gether and the statistician of the en gineer's office always has figured the as sessments against abutting property on the basis of both contracts. This t!me was no exception and when the recommendation for allowance of the estimates were made the assessment figures were combined. Now the man who handles the figures will be compelled to revise tlio entire work nnd two assessment sheet, for this district will have to be prepared. Elsaaser Asked to Show Where. Incidentally the city engineer Invited I Councilman Elsasser to take a rldo over South Twenty-fourth street Wednesday. In l his remarks before the council Tuesday night Mr. Elsasser asserted thre were a hundred places Where defects had been found In the sidewalk. Mr. Rosewater j could not find them when his Inspectors i went over the work and he asked the councilman to show him where they exist There Is said to be some personal feeling regarding this curbing and guttering. The contractor wss discovered by the city en gineer when trying to lay material not permitted by the contract and waa com pelled to change the proportions of hi concrete. Again after the alleged com pletion of the work, he was required to re move everal hundred yards, which were not up to specifications. Now the city engineer's demands have all been complied ! with and he has approved the estimate, but residents of the district protest. It was alleged by Mr. Elsasser that the curbing ! broke when struck by a wagon wheel and this brings out a statement that one resi dent of tho district has made a practice of attempting to break the curbing by driving heavily loaded wagons against It and that he was compelled to desist from driving wagons over the curbing by the city authorities.
