POOL HALLS NOT REMOVED
No Immediate Action la Takes oa
Schools' Appeal by City
C'onacll.
Thar will be no Immediate legislation
looking toward the prohibition of pool and
billiard halls In proximity to public or prl
vale schools In Omaha. Thla was declared
to be the sense of the city council in com
mittee of the whole, Monday afternoon.
Edgar A. Balrd, attorney for the Board
of Education, and Paul L. Martin, of the
Crelghton Law school, appeared before the
council Monday and requested the passage
of an ordinance prohibiting hall within 8X)
feet of any educational institution. Mr,
Balrd appeared at the requeat of the board
which had the matter under consideration
at its lsst meeting. They pointed out that
pool and billiard halls are evidently evil
In a sens for the reason that the law pro
hlblt children under 18 yeara of age from
entering them, and alao because the charter
gives the city council power to regulat
them. They declared that the halls exert
an evil Influence over the children and
young men: that they are loafing placea In
which the boye play 'hookey" from achool
or college, and that. Inasmuch aa the school
authorities expend Ifino.COO a year In educat
Ing he young people of omaha. that th
requeat of the board ought to have some
weight.
Councilman Zlmman, who made the mo,
tlon to the effect that no legislation re
gardlng pool and billiard halls be attempted
at thla time. In answering the attorney
representing the Board of Education and the
affiliated Crelghton colleges, called atten
tion to the fact that at the Toung Men
Christian association youngnnen are taught
how to play the game and that for tha
reason halls wherein the game Is playe
certainly cannot exert an evil Influence.
Councilman McOovem requested that

The moat Important action of the conven

f filiating; the Nebraska association with the
national body. This wilt mean no change
In basis, the two being the saflte, but It will
necessitate a change In the working policy
and admit Nebraska to the national, not as
state organisation, but aa a part of a
territorial organization. Just what states
will be embraced In thla territorial organi
sation is not yet deflntely settled, hut it
probably will Include Iowa and Kapsas aa
well a Nebraska.
Affiliation with the territorial association
will afford the advantage of closer touch
with the national a It will mean the pres
ence of national secretaries and other work
ers that the stale alone could not afford. It
has the additional advantage, too, of con
ference and co-operation witn other city as

of twenty-three college and two city asso

associations. Affiliated In one organization.
this city work, which is so Important, will
be greatly strengthened.
The requeat from the tate necessary- to
make the Omaha ssociatlon a training
center for secretaries, was formally made
and, with the completion of the new local
association building, thla training school wl 1

n December 11, 18f8. th city council of
Omaha granted to Caspar E. Yost anil
Edgar M. Morsman and their associates
authority to lay pipes for furnishing heai

Members of the election bor,i ai flock-
In; to the court house to secure Instruction
at the school which is being maintained in
the lower corridor for the benefit of of
ficials and cltizena who want to learn how
to use the voting machines.
James' Allen, who has charge of the
school In the day time, instructed 100 of
ficials Monday and almost as many Tues
day. The school will be maintained until
next Monday In order to give every one
a chance tc inform himself. While It is
primarily for election officers, any citlsen
who Is uncertain as to how to manipulate
the levers can get all the information he
wants by applying.
Many Inquiries have been received aa to
the methods of voting for the two amend
ments to the state constitution. Both
amendments were endorsed by all the
partlea and hence a straight party vote
records an affirmative votu on both amend
ments. Those who want to vote against It

lever below the party tickets.

COUNCIL ACTS UNDER LASH
Democratic City Officials Driven to
Duty by Grand Jury.
SUMMONS SENT TO MG0VERN
tirnnd Jury Demands that (oanrll
rroseenlr Corporation Dressy.
In (Mrret Without Pay
Ing Rentals.
Forced by the grand Jury to attend to
the city's business for which each member
ia paid S1.5"0 a year and fearing official
Invrstigalon, the democratic city council
will proceed nt one" to prosecute corpora
tions and Individuals occupying clly prop
erty free of cost and to collect equitable
rental therefor.
This Information comes from Thomas
McGovern, councilman from the Ninth
ward and chairman of the committee on
street Improvements. And Mr. McGovern
ought to know, because he was summoned i
before the grand Jury Monday, though ho
refused to go because the summons was
not served, as he thought, the right way,
and also because no court order was given
compelling him to take before the grand
Jury the report of City Abstracter Wood
Hartley on the wrongful occupancy of city
lands.
The city abstracter made his report May
12, 19(8. It was first referred to the com
mfttee of the whole, but nothing was done
with It there. In a couple of .weeks it was
referred to the committee on street im
provements, composed of Councilman Mc
Govern, Lee Bridges, councilman from the
Second ward, and Peter Elsasser, council
man from the Tenth ward. Though thla
was over five months ago, nothing haa
been done toward collecting rentals or
forcing the vacation of city property, the
report being allowed to remain in the
pockets of some member of the committee.
McGiovern la Ready Now.
Monday Chairman McGovern was sum-'
moned before the grand Jury to explain,
and Tuesday Chairman McGovern an
nounced that a resolution will be intro
duced and passed In the council instructing
the city attorney to begin legal actions to
oust or collect at once.
Abstracter Hartley's report Is a volum
inous document and aside from showing
that many pleoeM of land are occupied by
corporations and individuals free of all
rent cites th-er , feces where leases have
been given for ;ut nominal sum. Of the
latter M. A. Disbrow & Co. paid but 1
a year for the oi cupancy of Twelfth street
from Izard to Nicholas street In 190ti and
1907. The firm continues to occupy the
land free. Sixth atreet north from Doug
las is occupied by II. F. Cady free, though
for five years he paid $25 a year for the
large tract. C N. Diets paid 1 a year up
to two years ago for the occupancy of Cal
ifornia street between Twelfth and Thir
teenth streets. Flnce January 1, 1908, he
has paid no'.hiag. W. Farnam Smith paid
Jl a year from 1896 to 1901 (free since then)
for the occupancy ot land on Twelfth
street.
List of Cases.

OSBORNE STOPS THE TEAM
County Jail Keeper and Sheriff
Bralley Have Harrow Escape
In Itnnnway.
The presence of mind of Frank Osborne,
county Jailer, probably saved him and
Sheriff Bralley from serious Injury at
Lincoln Monday afternoon. They took two
men, John Cowers to the penitentiary and
Ashworth Hayes to the asylum. Aa they
were leaving the penitentiary on the way
back the hack driver closed the door
and was about to climb on the driver's
Beat when the team started to run, throw
ing him off into the mud and leaving the
two officers Imprisoned in the hack. They
wero approaching a sharp turn and were
going so fast the hack was in danger of
overturning. Osborne got one of the doors
open and climbed up thf side of the hack
to the seat. He guided the horses around
the turn safely and finally atopped them.
The driver was slightly hurt but neither
of the officers wa injured.

Branch of Independent Concern Will
Open Here, Employing Thirty.
KAEBACH IS NEW MANAGER
To Hold Trade In Omaha Territory
Dealers in Mechanical Kubber
Good Kind Hoik Here
X
eceary.
After attempting for a number of years
to hold territory In western Iowa and Ne
braska by maintaining houses In Chicago,
Minneapolis and St. Louis, the Diamond
Rubber company of Akron, O., has found
that "Omaha territory" cannot be advan
tageously handled from any point except
Omaha and will open a large branch house
In thia city.
Tlie location of the company's branch
will be at Thirteenth and Howard streets;
twenty to twenty-five men will bo em
ployed In the warehouse, three to (five kept
constantly "on the road," and Arthur
Karbach will be local manager.
W. E. Roby of Minneapolis, who is man
ager of the northwest territory for the
company, was in Omaha Monday and closed
the deal. lie expressed himself- as well
satisfied with the arrangement made In
Omaha, and announced that the company
would open in connection with the ware
house a large repair shop which would give
employment to a number. The company
has branches In Boston. New York, Phila
delphia, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland. De
troit, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis,
Denver, Oakland and San Francisco. The
capital stock of the Diamond Rubber com
pany is $6,000,000. and It Is one of the two I
largest Independent rubber companies In the
country. The line Includes all kinds of
tires, mechanical rubber goods, fire hose,
belting, and the hard rubber goods from a
fountain pen up.
BlaT Growth of Business.
"The increased business of the country
In the last ten years is reflected In our
growth." said Mr. Roby at the Commercial
club, "Ten years ago we had a capital
stock of 1X0,000. The 16.000,000 capital to
day tells our story, and we have furnished
work for ao many people that we are cred
ited with Increasing the population of
Akron something like 30 or to per cent.
"I say this not because the company
which I represent has made such a record,
but because I believe others have shared
a aimilar prosperity and made a similar '
growth during the ten years past."
