Oeorge Meyers, who aa arrested Satur
day evening by Deputy Sheriff J. W. Gal
la way as a suspect In the Overland Lim
ited robbery case. Meyers gave a good
account of himself. Later Detective Els
felder arrested the deputy sheriff on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly. His
gun and star were taken from him and
he was released Sunday morning to ap
pear In .police court Tuesday morning.
Officer Charlea Morton arrested J. f.
Laws at :30 last night as another suspect
At the Jail Laws said he had been In Des
Moines and lived there, on Pleasant street,
on the south side of the city. He beat his
way to Omaha. The only mark of Identity
on him was his collar, which bore the
laundry mark, J. D. Laws, ta some ways
he resembles the picture of the fourth man
of the holdup, but the police are Inclined to
believe that he may be wanted in Dee
Moines rather than here.
As a diversion to the exciting chase of
the alleged highway men Detective H. H.
Shields picked up two alleged burglars last
night who are suspected as the men who
robbed Green's saloon Saturday night at
Forty-sixth and Q street. This Is Just out
of the city limits of South Omaha. The
men arrested were Erlck Sws.nson and
John LaVelle. The police claim to have
found the goods which were stolen in the
poesesslon of the prisoners. The case Is
Id to be plain. They got little money.
but took some liquor and tobacco.
The report that Detective Hank Elsfelder
had resigned hla star after a tiff with
Chief Brlggs over the matter of the reward
is a little far fetched. Elsfelder In a mom
ent of exasperation handed the star to
Chief Brlggs. but later he received It again
and the point of difference between the
men was peaceably settled.

of the deelre of, the board, announced to
the teachers Saturay that the schools
would not have a holiday. After this an

to allow the announcement to stand until
noon.
Memorial Bermoa to Veterans
Forty veterans of the civil at and
twenty-five or thirty women of the Wom
en's Relief corps attended the Memorial
day exercises at the First Baptist church
Sunday morning. The weather was show
ery, but until the time -of the service It
was good. The shower of the morning
was over before the sermon by Ret.
George Van Winkle was concluded. Rev.
Van Winkle preached on the development
of human brotherhood. Beginning with
the divine question to Cain, the speaker
gave a skirt sketch of the way humanity
had viewed the question ntll tbe present
day. ' He showed that alt strife of na
tions and peoples had resulted from the
wrong answer given to this question. Be
fore the civil war the authority for Slav
ery waa granted by the constitution, which
also recognised the principles of the dec
laration of Independence In the aame con
text. It was not until the emancipation
proclamation, which was the moat far-
reaching recognition of the principle of
human brotherhood, that God's grace gave
victory into the handa of the north. With
perfect brotherhood the world will find
Itself endowed with perfect peace.
General A. S. Churchill addressed the
congregation at the Presbyterian church
along lines of the significance of the Slav
ery question and Ha solution. His address
waa given under the auspices of the Pres
byterian Brotherhood. Special music was
furnished by the choir.

OMAHA, May .To the Editor of The
Bee Whil the efforta of the Park Board
to acquire new boulevards are worthy of
commendation, yet th question arises why
do they neglect the boulevards already ac
quired and partly Improved.
In Kansas City It Is well known that
boulevard frontage, be It high or low, is
the most In demand for reldenoe pur
poses, while it Is also well known thai
property In Omaha on the best part of
our boulevard. Is not In demand. The
reason for this condition Is that there fe
no electrlq, lights along the boulevard and
swamps, frog-ponds and unsightly shacks
are everywhere, causing the people to
avoid driving along it, especially after
nightfall.
Commencing at nt snd Dewey avenue
on the west, there Is an extensive swamp
and some of the most unsightly shacks and
stablea In town. Crossing Leavenworth
street, arfBther swamp is passed and then
one must go around a house sitting in th
middle of the boulevard. Why a squatter
Is permitted to occupy the middle of a
street for so many years is not apparent.
and why the swamps and shacks have not
been condemned Is hard to explain to vis
itors as ample power to condemn exists
and the right to assess the costs thereof
upon adjacent property is in the city
charter.
Members of the Park Board who lack
Interest In the work ought to resign and
the mayor should select men especially
fitted for the work, regardless of their
party affiliations. P.
Maaaal Training.
OMAHA, May .-To the Editor of The
Bee: In looking over the morning papers
of a week ago I noticed the article relating
to the proposed Issuance of bonds at this
coming fall election for the purpose of en
larging the present , high school building
and the broadening out of the Industrial
science and manual training departments,
and that It Is the cherished hope of one
of our noblest and best meaning citizens
that this be done, I am In a position to
know. To the mothers and fathers of bur
city I make this special appeal In the In
terest of our. girls and boys, especially,
and our aad. their posterity, that we all
give to Prof. John Wlgman the help he Is
battling for so manfully and so richly da
serves. The sddlng of sufficient room In our high
sohool building and the proper equipment
thereof for an industrial science depart
ment and a thorough manual training de
partment will be the means of ' putting
many, many of our young people In an
Independent position, lnaamuoh as their
training In an Institution of this kind will
qualify them to make their own way
through life, happy In the consciousness
of their own ability and contented for the
reason that their early training at school
was such that they are enabled when they
reach the age where they have to choose
a vocation for a life's long calling,' they
will know what they are best fitted for.
Better cooks will enhance the neaitn or our
nation and better and more good house
wives will rob the divorce court of their
prey.
Better mechanics and more or tnem, in
stead of so many collets bred failures in
Drofesalonal and business life, will ellm-
inate to some degree- the necessity or
building of more prisons and penitentiaries,
for the man who Is not capable of meet
ingthe Vicissitudes and dli -.ppolntments of
life will be desperate ' when hungry and
will steal before he will starve. Help make
our Blrla and boys to b self reliant by glv
Ing them proper training when they are Just
moulding their career ana I tninx you win
find it th best paying Investment you
ever made and when you are called to
your reward you can go smilingly and
know your country and your children are

The board took the first steps toward
acquiring permanent locations for play
grounds and Instructed the dty engineer to
prepare an ordinance declaring the neces
sity of acquiring two swamps In the west
ern part of the city. One of these swamps
Is south of Harney street and west of Cen
tral boulevard, at Thirty-first street, and
contains about twenty lots. The other Is
St Thirty-fourth and Leavenworth streets
and contain about seven lots. The esti
mated value of the realty is SIO.OOO.
Swamp, will Be Dralaed.
Should the board acquire the property
the swamps will be drained and drainage
pipes placed to carry off water In the fu
ture. Then the land will be filled
with about four feet of earth, making
the swamps Into sunken gardens similar to
CurtlssTurner park. Nothing could be
done with the property this year, but If
th board acquires It, In another year the
two swamps will be made Into public play
grounds for the children.
A third playground Is In sight on the
West Cuming district. The board owns a
small tract of land between Cuming and
Burt streets and between Twenty-ninth
and Thirtieth streets. Superintendent
Adams was Instructed to put this Isnd Into
condition for playground purposes and also
prepare plans to connect It with the boule
vord system of the city.
Owners of automobiles petitioned the
board to amend Its rules so as to allow

commissioners decided they would keep
this on park absolutely safe for children
and refused to amend the rule. Owners
of automobiles having friends from out of
the city can procure from the secretary a
permit to take them through Hanscom
park In automobiles on any day but Sun

Th Boyd was literally packed at both
performance yesterday, the followers of
the Woodward Stock company seeming as
anxious to welcome back their favorites
after an absence of two days as If they
had been gone two years.' And Manager
Woodward rewarded the people with
another production well worth seeing. He
is open to the charge of extravagance In
this direction, for no other stuck manager
ever lavished on productions the care he
ha shown so far this season In providing
for every detail that makes for the ar
tistic completeness of the background
against which the play It projected. "My
Wife," I th first of th offerings of the
summer season that .-c!ly permitted the
women folks of th compe.ny to dress up,
and they fairly rose to the opportunity.
In the settings of rich Interiors they
dressed with elaborate care and display,
and ahowed soma really beautiful gown.
All of this gave to the stag picture a
richness that was thoroughly enjoyed by
the audiences.
The comedy Itself Is largely one of man
ners, although a dramatic vein of cross
purposes run through It, and It action
at times verges on the farcical. But It Is
saved at these times by the good Judgment
of Messrs. Morrison and Denlthorne on
whom the greater part of this work falls.
Mr. Dudley and Mr. Llndholm are In for
good parts, and so are Mr. Davis and
Mr. Alderson.
Miss Lang has a role that suits her ex
actly. It la that of a girl who Is misunder
stood In a measure, whose relatives are
trying to defraud her of her inheritance,
and who has a great deal to contend with
from the feminine side of theNcomedy's
forces. But She manages it with tact and
frankness, and finally wins her point. Mits
Hudson,. Miss Bonnie and Miss Vaders are
also well situated, and the comedy Is given
with a free movement that makes It de
lightful all th way. It was very well re
ceived at both performances yesterday.

Labor Union in
Philippines
is Restrained
Carmen'i Organization Ordered by
Court to Abandon Proposed
Mais Meetings.
MANILA, May 81. The first restraining
order ever obtained from the Philippine
courts with the purpose of enjoining the
actions of a labor union was granted yes
terday on petition of. the Manila Street
Railway company. It directs that certain
union mass meetings, scheduled to take
place today, be not held. The Injunctive
writ proceedings follow the calling off of
the recent strike of the street car em
ployes, which led to a factional split In
the carmen's union. The dominant faction
headed by President Obrera of Manila
Labor council, decided after much discus
sion to renew the strike and boycott
against the company. A manifesto was
Issued declaring the company unfair and a
series of meetings wsre announced for to
day (Sunday), with the names of those
who would speak.
Agitation was not accompanied by any
specific demands on th company and a
a majority of the street oar operative ar
not members of the union, the strike had
little effect. Th company, nevertheless,
sought the aid of thr courts, applying for
and obtaining an order directing that the
proposed meetings be abandoned and that
the announced speakers refrain from Car
rying on their purpose. The general Issue
Involved is not the right of the union to
resort to a boycott, but rather Its right to
enforce or call a boycott without having
made any demands upon the company and
without having any special intereet or
Issue involved. The company claims that
the boycott is merely a malicious attempt
to Injure it because ef the failure of the
first strike.
Several minor strikea and labor difficul
ties sr progressing In the city at this time
and it Is feared that the labor situation
will be complicated during the Impending
assembly election.
