NO NECESSITY TO MAKE LOAN Hanks Which Own the Bonds Will I rr Them t ntll the ( II) In a Position to Take Intra t'r The city treasurer, C. A. Mcl-lnr. an nounced yesterday that he had perfected arrangements with the banks owning the city securities in the grading and paving el, riots which are In drfuult. so th.it it would not be necessary to make the emergency loan as he had been instructed by the order of the city council. The amount w was to draw was S S . T. i 1 . 7 'J, ni'isily for the delinquencies In the Thlr Ueth street paving. The taxpayers have rf fused to piy the special assessment In these dlstrb ts and the same Is true of several grading districts. To meet these deficiencies the order for the loan was given last Monday night. The treasurer Hated yesterday that there was enough In the various funds to pay the Interest due, and that the statute provided that the unpaid bonds would stand as valid claim of the parties holding them until paid. The treasurer expressed the opin ion that the emergency loan was a power of the city to be used very sparingly and that 11 was not necessary at this time. It will not be nect -.sary for the council to take any further action. The Interest from the city on $4,000 on such a loan would oiTset that coming to the city from the banks on $20,000 on deposit. Missed Ill-Fated Boat. ' Word comes from Miss Maude McDowell and Miss Jeannette Hoggen that they nar rowly missed being on the Ill-fated steamer Columbia which .sank off the Mendocino coast last Saturduy. They were scheduled to take the boat at Seattle, but were de layed en route. They have been entertained at the expense of the steamship company near Seattle since that time, waiting the sailing of the Elder, which sails today. The young women consider themselves fortunate that their stops In the Yellowstone and at Hillings, Mont., made them late. Let- Iters from the young women have relieved some anxiety on the part of parents and friends here. Two Arrests for Embeiilement. Geoige Mojtle and John Pasllevo. two Roumanians, were arrested yesterday aft ernoon by Sheriff T. B. Wilson of Rail county, Missouri. The men are wanted at Hannibal for alleged embezzlement. The sheriff and his deputy came to South Omaha In search of them, and he, with the aid of the South Omuha police, located the two men. The two had been acting as treasurer of the Roumanian colony at Hannibal, and It had been the custom for ihese neonle to uav their earnings Into a , . - . ... ,, Some of their friends aought to free them and made an attenpt to get counsel with which to fight extradition. While they were gone to con sult an attorney the sheriff took his pris oners In charge and left for Council Bluffs. Soon after the departure of the sheriff the wife of John Pasllevo arrived at the city jail. She could speak no English and her grief at finding her husband gone was pitiful. She was finally taken home by members of her own people. Clerk Keeps the Books. The mandamus case of W. H. Queenan against J. J. Gillin, the city clerk, action being taken to compel the city clerk to de liver the tax commissioner's books into the custody of the commissioner, was heard be for Judge Kennedy and decided In favor of the clerk. The clerk maintained that It was his duty to receive and keep possession of the books when the commissioner sub mitted them as required by law before the first Monday in July. Ha held that these books then became part of the records of his office for which he was responsible. In this view the court upheld him. Convicted of Appropriating Chickens. The two men from Dolly & Moody's camp who made Inroads on Mrs. Peter Lenagh's chickens a few days ago, and who were captured in a weed patch by Hank Els felder after a chase by the entire neigh borhood, were fined In police court for their propensities for "spring fries." Prank Smith, who pulled the heads oft the chick ens, was sentenced to fifteen days in the county jail. James Shanahan, his compan ion, was sentenced to four days for va grancy. He established the fact that he was mainly on ' a bender," and not bent on chicken stealing. Suspend Y. M. C, A. Campaign. The local Young Men's Christian associa tion has closed the campaign for the new building until September 1. The reason for the ceasing of active operations Is that dur ing the month of August many of the busi ness men and others most Interested will be out of the city. In the one month of the csmpalgn ovur JS,(W0 was subscribed. While this Is not as large as was hoped, the directors say they have no cause to com plain of the results. In the Interval be tween now and September 1 the attention of the promotora of the assoc'atlon will bo turned to the membership. It Is hoped that the membership may be brought up to BOO or more.

HONOR A NEGRO'S MEMORY White People Krrct Monument to Joe l.e van, n onthern Ylllase Harder. Few men make such an Impress upon their day and generntlon that at their death there Is a spontaneous movement to erect In their he nor an enduring memorial as a mark of the esteem In which they have ln.cn held by their fellow citlsns. When sucn a monument Is erected It Is considered. a noteworthy i vent In the his tory of a community. For a negro to he so honored Is an event of such rare oc curence that It Is worthy of more than passing mention, and this is offered as an excuse for brief statement of the facts concerning the rrec'Jjin of a monument to Joseph l.evan by tho eopln of Sunder, 8. C. says tv, Charleston News and Courier. Joseph Iycvan was born a s'.avo In 1SS1, and was the property of Mr. Anthonv White, sr., of this county. He was trained to be a houso servunt, nnd by the time he was grown he was a first-class cook, bar ber, and handy man generally. When the war broke out and the first company was organized In Sunder to go to Virginia, Joe was hired from his master hy Lieutenant J. Dlggs Wlldc. who carried him to Vir ginia to serve him In the dual capacity of body servant nnd cook. Tills company took part In the batttle of Dull Run, and Captain J. 8. Richardson was wounded. Joe was then commissioned to wait on htm while he was In the hospital. When Captain Richardson was able to return home, Jog rejoined the company at the front, and continued In the service of Lleu tenrnt Wilder for two years, serving him and other members of the company with a devotion and zeal that won for him their lifelong friendship. After the war Joe opened k barber shop In this town, which he conducted continuously until his death, In 19fi. He had a patronage that rival shops could not win away from him, and as long as "Joe, the Barber," was able to work, his was the most popular place of the kind In town, notwithstanding the fact that numerous better equipped "ton aorial" parlors were established from time to time. He never performed any single spectacu lar service, but he was simply faithful, courteous, honest and Industrious through out his life. He asked no favors from any man, and was content to earn an honest living at his trade. In manner, he was po lite and respectful, without a trace of se verity; reserved tnd dignified In deport ment, and his word was better than many a white man's bond. When he died there was a general regret In this community, and his funeral was attended by hundreds of his white friends. The suggestion, made In a local paper, that a popular subscription be Btarted for the purpose of erecting a simple monu ment to mark his grave, met with Imme diate response, and In a short time a uf flclent sum was In the hands of Mr. J. Dlggs Wilder, adjutant of Camp Dirk An derson. U. C. V., of which Joe was an honorary member, to pay for the monu ment. No collection was taken up and no effort was made to raise a large sum by soliciting subscriptions, every dollar being sent or carried In person to Mr. Wilder, who was named In the original suggestion as the proper custodian of the fund. At tho first meeting of Camp Dick Anderson, subsequent to Joe's death, a committee was appointed to superintend the erection of the monument. The commit tee discharged this duty prompCly, and shortly before the anniversary of his death the stone was erected on Joe Levan's grave In the negro cemetery. The monument, which la simple and un pretentious. Is made of light blue marble, resting on a square base, and Is In all about nine feet In height. The Inscription reads as follows: Jeseph Levan, The Village Barber, Born 1R, Pled December IS. 1ft. He Was Faithful as a Slave, and Re spected as a Freeman.

ORCHARD HILL IMPROVERS Andrew Roaewater Talks on Pabllo Improvements aad Mayor on Taxes. The Orchard Hill Improvement club met with a large attendance at the home of Mr. and Mr. John Richards, 3807 Seward street. The regular proceedings were quickly disposed of, after whlrn came a program of addresses and mu.itc. The principal speakers were City En gineer Andrew Rosewater and Mayor Dahlman. Mr. Roaewater spoke upon city Im provement In general and the possibility of serurlng a sanitary sewer for the Orchard Hill district In the near future, but did not think there was any prospect of securing a storm sewer for that part of ths city for some time to come. He gave some valuable Information as to the proper method to secure sidewalks along nonresident property, which will be promptly availed of by the residents of that section. He gave much other val uable Information on city affairs That was attentively listened to and he responded to a number of Inquiries regarding the delay In certain Improvements, the causs thereof and of atreet repairs In general. Mayor Dahlman talked some on taxa tion and said that next year he would algn the tax levy ordinance to the limit In order that every part of the city might have Its necessary Improvements. Following the speechmaklng a pleasant musical program was given. Miss Stevens gave a piano solo, as did Mrs. Welshans. Miss Margaret Richards and Miss Flor ence Mason. Mies Lenore Hutrhins sang a couple of solis and Homer Conant sang a couple of baritone numbers, all the musicians acquitting themselves very creditably. The Orchard Hill club will hold Its an nual picnic ut I.ake Manawa next Satur day. All are requested to bring baskets of provisions and luncheon will ,t served at tho pavilion at 5:30 In the evening.

' New Ordinance Forces All to Have j Proper Sort of Cans. i BEC0MES EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1 Health Commissioner Experts Dim cnlty at Flats, bnt Will Give Time to I. earn Require nients of Law. The new garbage ordinance, which goes Into effeot August 1, has created consid erable activity In the hardware stores, as on and after that date every householder. If he would comply . with the law, must place on his premises a can of tin or other material of like nature of at least ten gal lons capacity, In which must be placed all forms of refuse other than that from sta bles, broken pottci. ashes or tin cans. The contents of these cans are to be col- 1 lected free of charge by the Omaha Ren dorlng nnd Refining company, which holds a contract with the city for this pur pose, effective for fifteen years from Au- gust 1. By the terms of the contract the house- : holder must separate his real garbage from the Indestructible sort and when ho has done this he can Insist upon Its removal by the company within twenty-four hours after It has been notified of the existence of the garbage, or the company will for feit t5 to the city for each and every time ' It neglects or refuses to bo move the mat- ' ter. On tha other hand, If the garbage Is mixed the company may refuse to handle It and the householder will be forced to devise some way of his own for disposing . of the material and run the risk of colli sion with the city ordinance, which grants i a monopoly to the contractor. Thera Is one phase of the ordinance I which may meet with some objection on the part of some householders. In many of the flats of tho city garbage chutes are provided Into which are Indiscriminately dumped all sorts of refuse. These have been removed hy the old garbage company without trouble to the residents of the flats, hut under the new ordinance each flat must be equipped with a tin can and the garbage chute can be used for indes tructible garbage. The commissioner of health expects that the law will be slowly enforced as people must become familiar with Its operation before they will know their rights and re sponsibilities and sufficient time will be given them before the penalties of the ordi nance are Imposed. REV. FATHER ROGERS RESIGNS President of St. I.onls I'nireralty Re. tlrrs from Activity Because of Falllnir Health. ST. LOUIS, July 25. It was learned to night that Very Rev. Father William Hanks Rogers, S. J., has resigned the pres idency of St. Louis university because of falling health. His successor has not been selected. This press report came as no surprise to the Catholic educators of Omaha, who know Father Rogers well. "Father Rogers Is a most prominent educator," said Father Ryan of Crelghton university. "His health has been falling for about a year and a half and we were not surprised to hear of his resignation. He has been president of 8t. Louis university for the last six or seven years and prior to that time was president of Marquatta college of Milwau kee. He is about 60 years old. Ws do not know who will succeed him."

By Saturday night it is expected the pavement on Dodge street from Tenth street to Sixteenth street will have been repaired and next Monday the city re pair gang will start on Douglas street from Ninth street to Sixteenth street. While It Is the intention of the property owners to pave these streets and petitions In that behalf are now In circulation, the work cannot be done before next spring and the city engineer has decided to put the streets In share for the winter months. Tills action has had a beneficial effect on the petitions for repaying, as many property owners, who had previously ob jected to signing such petitions have now fclgned, alleging the repairs which are to be made for the winter will carry tha pavument Into another taxing year and thus save immediate expenaa.
