AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Need of a Modern Hotel in the City
Discussed by Prominent Citizen.
CHESTS FORCED TO GO TO OMAHA
Cowarllamaa Haaatamaa Still larllaed
to Protest Asjalast Terw of
tba a Street Vladoct
Ordtaaace.
"I was talking with some of our business
men on the necessity of a good hotel for
the city," said John Colvln, yesterday.
The need of a first class hotel in South
Omaha was never more emphasized than
after the opening of the recent convention
of the State Association of County com
missioners. Here was the spectacle of a
city Inviting guests without a single
facility at command for accommodating
them. The mayor and the Commercial
club both resorted to considerable polished
verbiage to cover up the fact as far as
possible that South Omaha was utterly
dependent on Omaha to shelter and feed
the guests. Dr. McCrann and the mayor
did apologize for the lack of suitable ac
commodations, as bitter as the dose was
to swallow. It Is needless to say that the
convention appreciated the situation. Many
times the question was asked. 'Havent
you got some hotel or any place down
here with capacity for taking care of a
man for a day or two?
"There are a few small lodging houses
and hotels, but any of them which are at
all fit are already crowded to the limit
by regular boardera The matter of a new
hotel for South Omaha has been urged
many times but although the need la
recognized and the lack deplored. It has
been Impossible to secure capital enough
to start such a building. Just at this
Juncture, however, a report is In clrcula-
Judge T. C. Munger. with Judge W. 11.
Hunger concurring, handed down an opin
ion In the United Slates district court Fri
day morning overruling the motions to
quarh the Indictment in the land rases of
Ferry A. Teast, Henry Sutton and Charles
T. Stewart.
Perry A. Teast and Henry Sutton were
Jointly indicted for conspiracy to defraud
the government out of public landa by
means of fraudulent entries and final
proof. The motion to quash was made oa
the question of the manner of the entry.
The opinion states: "Perjury cannot be
predicated upon the testimony given by a
homestead applicant at the time of making
final proof both as regsrds to his oath of
allegiance to the Vnited States and that of
reeijence and cultivation; also that the tes
timony of the applicant is essential on this
latter point." The contention of the de
fendants that the application has nothing
more to do than furt.lsh proof of non- j
bltrnittlon of the land i not held by ths)
court to be got-o. but the rig lit or the land
department to make rules and regulations
relative to flnal piot.fs Is unquestioned.
The court holds the applicant Is a compe
tent witness, also that the land office re
quirement that not fewer than two wit
Brssrs are eaoentlal In the ua'ter cf t.nbl
proofs, does not confine the number solely
tu two wlinuses. but to any numlxr f
witnesses not less than two. In the case
of Charles T. Stewart the ourt holds
there is a sufficient averment, in the mater
iality of the testimony in making the flnal
proof, in the indictment.

EataUiabod 1780 . tCmrSTLl, sUH
tlon In the packing house district that
prominent members of the Live Stock ex
change, the Union Stock Tarda company
and several of the packing house officials
are seriously considering such a proposition
for net season. The Union Stock Tards
company and the commission men ap
preciate the great losses every year from
the fact that tRe stotkmen visiting the city
make all haste to' get toOmaha. where
they may get a good meal and lodging for
the night. The transient trade in a stock
market city would be very large. Then
the business offices of the packing houses
employ enough single men easily to fur
nish any reasonable 'hostelry with plenty
of regular custom. Many young men live
In Omaha and come to South Omaha dally,
who would rather stay In 6outh Omaha
If It were possible. Heretofore the public
has looked to the so-called Commercial club
to start such a movement, but It Is now
believed that .before spring the interests
of the yards district will have, developed
a plan independent of the corporation of
the city. The site for the hotel Is sug
gested In a number of places' as far east
even as Twenty-fourth, aa well as In the
stockyards district proper. The building
might easily be erected about In the same
site as that occupied by the present Ex
change dining hall. Just north of the main
building of the Exchange.
"I think the greatest drawback to the
hotel proposition Is the easy access to
Omaha. I fear the moet attractive hotel
will be lost to view In the haste of stock
men to get to the tall buildings of Omaha."
Haasttaau oa Tladaet Ordlaaaee.
Councilman George Hauptman is still
considerably riled over the Q street viaduct
ordinance, against which be cast the one
dissenting vote last Monday night He has
expressed his views forcibly on several
occasions. "It will result In bringing all
the West Q traffic In by way ot Thirty
second or Thirty-third street - Instead of
Twenty-fourth. The street car officials
have told me positively that they will not
use the new viaduct upon which they must,
according to the ordinance, pay a license
of S per cent. What the diversion of travel
to Thirty-second or Thirty-third street
means to the present business section of the
city Is not difficult to predict. It will kill
the east aide. Not only that, but It will 1
divide the one section against the other
and all wtst cf the tracks will oppose
all east aLd the only hope will then
be for the west and southwest to get
together and fight for their rights, what
ever they are. Then take the same ordin
ance which affocts the proposed Intemrban
line exactly the same way. , We com- i
pelled the lnterurban company to agree to
direct their cars down Q street before we
voted them a franchise and now we place a
heavy license against them. It Is needless
to say they will not use Q street; but
will tske the old route and give South
Omaha the go-by. I cannot blame them for
doing It either. The Union Pacific does not
want the intemrban line at all and Is seek
ing opportunities to add Just such burdens
to the construction all the time. I think
the ordinance was a corporation ordinance
from start to finish and the welfare of
the city bad little pirt In It."

Mayor Hoctor will recommend a radicil
change in the cell work of the city Jill
at the Monday night session of the coun
cil. The mayor was Interviewed lat
night on the subject and said: "Tea, I
Ir.tend to recommend that the solid j lates
now enclosing the Jail cells be removed
on one or two sides of each cell and lat
tice or grill work substituted. Much ob
jection baa been raised against the pres
ent! cells. I admit, with Justice in the
main. I have consulted with John I-aten-ser
and the representative of the Cham
pion Iron company, and I believe the lat
ter company is responsible for the seri
ous blunder in ' the work. This mlKht
have been stopped earlier had Mr. Lalen
ser been in the city. It Is my lutentloi
to recommend that the changes be male
and that the Champion Iran company be
compelled to bear the expense. This thry
will do unwillingly, I anticipate, but there
is enough money due the contractor still
to pay the expense. I believe they should

LAW NOT TO STOP AUTOS
Staterte Prohibiting Steam Cars la
Yellowstone Park Aatedates
the Aatoaaobflea.
Colonel W. F. Cody, who remained in
Omaha Friday to attend the banquet giver
by the Eagles In honor of Theodore A. Bell,
national president of the order, is working
with the senators and representatives In
congress from Wyoming to have some of
the national laws in respect to Yellowstone
park changed.
"There Is a law on the statutes which
prohibits the use of steam cars In the park
and this has been taken by the authorities
to prohibit automobiles." said Colonel Cody.
"That law was enacted before automobiles
were Invented and mas intended to slop
railroads from being built within the
borders of the park, which is right and
proper. The roads of the park are In
splendid shape for automobillng and
entrance could be made from three sides
of the park. The road from Cody, Wyo.,
Into the park contains some of the finest
scenery on earth and would be easily
driven by automobiles, which could go to
all parts of the park and make the trip
In much less time than la consumed by the
stages. Owners ot automobiles could ship
their cars and then take a leisurely trip
through the park In utmost comfort, view
ing all the beauties of nature as they go."

Bemla Park Reelaeats Demand Better
School Inspection Agwlast
Contagion.
Residents around Bemis park are de
mandlng that some sort of school inspection
against contagious diseases be Inaugurated
by the Health department or by the Board
cf Education, as there Is said to be too
many cases cf sickness which the children
contract at school from sitting near some
other child who has not been taken out
of school as soon as necessary. One family
residing In Bemls park, within six weeks
had three caaes of measlea, three of whoop
ing cough and three of diphtheria and the
father visited the health commissioner to
see if something could not be done.
"It Is the old case which has been
threshed out In other cities." said the
father, who bad moved to Omaha front
Chicago. "In Chicago the school board
furnishes the money and It costs about lha
price of one teacher and does Just aa mucH
good, for we should look after the physi
cal welfare of the little onee as well aa
their Intellects. They always have trouble
getting that system established In all cities
for the Board of Health never has monejr
enough to ray for a doctor in each scnool
and until the school board takes the mat
ter up and decides to spend the necessary;
money, matters are Homed to run."
SEARCH ON FOR LOST MAIL
FoatoOire luspector Drains Investl
tiou for I no Missing
V: aches.
Postofflce Inspector 1.. A. Thompson ar
rived In Or.ula Friday i iorning to tako
up the matter of the missing letter pouches
lost from screen mail wagon between the
Omaha povtoflice and Union station Wed
nesday night
An examination of the wagon has de
veloped the fact that the top of the auto
matically locking door does not fit closely
to the top of the frame, though It Is suf
ficiently close to pern.it the bolt to catch
securely and hold under ordinary circum
stances. It Is thought the door may have
Jarred loose in going down the Incline from
the viaduct Into the Union Station yards
on Tenth street and 'the sacks could have
fallen out there, and as soon as the wagon
struck the level would close again. An
other theory is fhat some ex-employe of
the mail wagon service familiar with these
conditions may have been conveniently at
hand and picked the mall pouches and
hid or rifled them. There is no way ot
estimating the value of the contents of the
missing pouches.
No registered or package mall waa la the'
pouches, but there may have been numer
ous letters containing drafts, money and
money orders, and If the pouches bavo
been stolen the probability is that tho
thieves have reaped a rich reward and
destroyed all letters which may not have
contained valuable matter.
