Knocked from Wagon by Street Car. BASIC SKULL FRACTURE EESTJLTS Man Goes to Work for M. E. Smith A Vo. April 13 and .Is Injured November in, on Friday. James Konvalin, driver of one of the large auto trucks used by M. E. Smith & Co. fur the delivery and hauling of goods, was probably fatally Injured by being thrown from his seat about twenty-five foet onto the stone pavement In front of 1212 South Thirteenth street. A swiftly moving southbound street car of the Albright line struck the front part of the truck as Konvalin was attempting to croHS from west to east, and Dr. Bunce, who attended the Injured man at the Omaha 'General hospital, aays that a basic fracture of the akull may have been bus tallied and doath may result. The man did not rrgnln consciousness for several hours after the accident. The accident happened at 9:52 o'clock Friday morning, the 13th of the month Konvalin started to work for the Smith firm on tho 13th of April. The recurrence of 13 with tle added appearance of Friday In the case, has fully explained the acci dent to those superstitlously Inclined. . Konvalin la murrled and has two chil dren, ages 4 and 1 years, lie Is 27 years old and lives near Fourth street and Wool worth avenue. lntll recently he lived at 406 Lincoln avenue, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Konvalin live near that ad dress. John Konvalin, sr., la a driver for the American 8melting company, and John , Konvalin, Jr., one of the Injured man's two brothers, la connected with the barber shop under the Nebraska National bank. There are also five sisters of the Injured man. Careful Man nt Ills Work. According to a statement mado by C. W. Russell of M. E. Smith & Co., who Im mediately visited the scene of the accident with E. C. Wilbur of the same firm, Kon valin always was a careful driver and an excellent employe. Witnesses of the affair say that the 'street cur In the case was going at a high rate of speed when It struck the truck, and declare that Motor man Chris Christlanson, No. 472, did not ring his bell to warn Konvalin. Conductor Charles Hudson, No. 2K1, was the other member of the car crew. The car left the scene of the accident after Dr. Bunce, who happened to be In the vicinity, took charge of the case. However, their names had to be secured from the street car company's office, aa the car left before the police ambulance arrived. Officials of the street car company say that Motorman Chris tlanson did sound his gong, and that Kon valin turned directly across the tracks in the middle of the block. Wat DellTerlnar Parka Res. Konvalin had been delivering packages, and had one for Charles George, a whole sale dry goods merchant at 1124 Sotith Thirteenth. The truck passed George's store and continued half a block south bp fore turning to cross the tracks. It being supposed that Konvalin Intended to go to George's on the other side of the street, It Is thought that Konvalin did not hear '.ho street car approach on account of the wind and snow. Aa his truck started to cross the west track, being headed east, the south-bound car struck the heavy ma chine, pushing It about twenty feet before stopping, and Konvalin was thrown some distance onto the cobblestone pavement. His Injury was Immediately pronounced serious by the several doctors In attend ance. Police Surgeon Harris being present In addition to Dr. Bunce, and IDr. Allison also being In attendance at the hospital. It was stated that until Konvalin regained consciousness nothing could be ascertained definitely about his condition, further than that It was serious. . . Witnesses of the accident were Joe Sher man, 1206 South Thirteenth street, and Al. Garlelk, 1212 South Thirteenth street. The Injured man was taken Into the latter's shoe shop until the police ambulance ar rived. WATTLES FEARS NO TROUBLE Says Street Railway Will Not Have to Pay Iowa $230,000 In Fines. The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail way company does not think It will be compelled to pay any SJ3O.00O to the state of Iowa as a fine for not filing articles of Incorporation. President O. W. Wattles of the company declared Friday that the matter would be settled amicably and that no suit would ensue. An Iowa statute provides a fine of $100 a day in the event of a failure for a foreign corporation doing business in the Hawk- eye state to file articles of corporation at Des Moines and to pay the required fees. which are large. Attorney General Webb Byers has gone with a sharp stick for other corporations, notably the Western Union, which, he says, have failed to comply with the Iowa law. Thursday the Iowa execu tlve council, including Governor Cummins and the attorney general, heard statements from President Wattles and other officials of the Omaha company, who asked tb be relieved of the assessment and fine in view of the fact that the company operates a line to the Iowa State Deaf Institute. Des Moines dispatches state that the executive council Indicated that It could grant no such relief. Attention of the state officials was called to the fact that the street railway company transacts business In Iowa following the un successful attempt to settle the matter of transfers or 5-cent fares between the two cities. An Investigation followed and the fact was developed that the company Is violating the statute on the matter of filing articles of incorporation. JIM LETS BLUE LAWS ALONE Mayor Will So No Enforcing, but Wait on-Legislature. SAYS IT WILL MODIFY STATUTES Fields Has Ceased Talking; and Ca pitulated, So tho Situation Remains aa it Has Been All A Ion a. Confident that the Incoming legislature will modify the "blue laws" of Nebraska, Mayor Dahlman will take no further steps toward enforcing the laws unless demand. Is made upon him so to do. This was the decision he arrived at Fri day morning upon the receipt of the letter from C. E. Fields, secretary of the Retail Liquor Dealers' association, in which his demand that the laws be enforced was withdrawn. The mayor says he understands that the supreme court made no ruling on the "blue laws" themselves In its decision of Octobai 22, but merely .upheld the lower court in Its refusal to grant- writs of habeas corpus to John Ryan, cigar .dealer, and Jacob Caldwell, barber, who were arrested lasi winter when the attempts were made tc enforce the Sunday closing laws, apply In; to all classes of business. When the cour makes a direct ruling showing Just whai the law is and to what It appnes, then the mayor will take further action, he says, but at present he beleves he has done about all that can be done in the premises. Six Hundred Complaints. "We now have some 600 complaints against people who sold goods on Sunday and I fall to see what would be the use of making further arrests until these are disposed of," said the mayor. "As I read the. law it Is very uncertain as to what Is meant and until a ruling Is made on It or until a definite demand Is made upon me to en force it I believe I will allow things to be as they are. "I take it that alt this talk about en forcing the obnoxious laws has been for the purpose of making them all the more obnoxious, so there would- be no danger of the incoming legislature doing nothing with them. But I am practically positive that the legislature will at least modify the laws. If it does not wipe them out com pletely, and In the face of this fact, es pecially as the legislature will meet In such a short time now, I believe It would be best to 'lay low and let things take their course. "If an attempt were made to enforce the Sunday closing laws we would1 have to swear In nearly every able-bodied man In town to do it" C. E. Fields made his demand on the mayor 'Tuesday, withdrawing It two days later. The mayor at first Intended to ask the legal department for an opinion, but he has not done so. on fflONssw wmm GIVE THE MOST WEAR FOR THE LEAST MONEY m. n it m i m n. rnnvsTM . - KX-iS) v A JJK KET CO., 20 Bemis Bid,, Omaha, Neb.

Four years ago the Danish government Issued a Christmas stamp with tho king's head and the word "Jul" on it. "Jul" In Denmark has the same significance that 'Yule" has in this country. The stamp vas not good for postage, but was Intended nly as a sticker to be attached to Christ inas letters and postcards. Proceeds derived from the sale of these stamps wero to be turned into a fund toward building a tuberculosis hospital for little children. This method of obtaining funds succeeded beyond all expectation, and the Red Cross society of this country has Issued a stamp similar to the Danish sticker. Last year the stamp was Introduced In the state of Delaware and the demand exceeded the supply, pearly $3,000 was cleared from the penny stamp In that state alone. This amount has been turned Into the gen eral fund of the Delaware Red Cross and will be used In the crusade against the great White Plague. This year the American National Hed Cross has decided to issue the Christmas stamp In every state In tho union. K beautiful stamp has been especially de signed by Howard Pyle, the famous artist. It bears a wreath of holly and "Merrv Christmas and Happy New Tear." It will be on sale at Red Cross headquarters li every Btate and will be handled throughout the smaller towns by local dealers. The stamps will be sold In sheets like an-ordinary postage stamp and also In small books, nine for 10 cnts, twenty-four for 26 cents and forty-eight for 60 cents. LATER THAN FIRST SNOW 1907 Initial Fall This Year Comes Three Days Later Than that of I.nst Year. With a temperature of f7, the first snow of the season began falling shortly after midnight Just so it could get In under the wire of the 13th. The precipitation is so light that It can be dignified only by the meteorological record of T (trace). It was sufficient in any event to put a whits mantle over all outdoor things, and con tinued with varying Intervals all of Fri day forenoon. The first snow of last year In November was on the loth of that month, the precipi tation being but .01 of an inch. The snow of Friday morning was suffi cient to bring Juvenile America of Omaha out onto the sidewalks with sleds, but th perverse snow was too insignificant to p re mit coasting unless some Industrious youngster helped in pulling the sled down hill. Snow flurries are reported throughout the northwest and In the state generally, with slightly colder In the west. Below aero temperatures are reported from several Wyoming points and the local prospect is for continued unsettled weather with cooler Friday night and Saturday.
