RATIO HANG THAN PEDDLE
Thus Saying- Harry Norick Takes His
life by Strangulation.
SWINGS FROM TROLLEY CAE POLE
Tells Children la Xelchboorhond Ite

a Peddler.
"I would rather nang myself then
peddle."
Harry Novlck, a Russian Jew peddler, M
years of sire, who boarded at the home of
Mra. Louis Bessell, 1313 Pine street, hanged
himself to a street car trolley pole at
Eleventh and Locust streets and is dad.
The man was found by John Larson.
Fifth and Ixcust. at 1:30 Tuesday morn
Ing. I .arson, reported t:. matter to Officer
Heald, tht nearest Omaha policeman, and
he reported It to the coroner'a office and
an aaslstsnt hastened out to tske charge
of the body.
Larson found the man suspended by a
leather strsp, evidently off a horse's har
ness. One end was attached to the pole,
the other wrapped two or three times
around his neck. In his pockets were a U-
caliber revolver, a knife, a watoh still
running, an empty purse and a
letter which proved to be from hla
father In the old country, written In Rus
sian, Inquiring why the family had not
heard from him In two months.
Novlck was a peddler. lie owned his
wagon and horse. But he had tired of this
work. Children In the neighborhood where
he lived heard him remark Monday after
noon, aa he left the house:
Tlre.l of Peddling;.
"I am tired of peddling. I would rather
hang myaelt than peddle some more."
He left the Bessel home at 4 p. m. after
donning his best clothes. He was not
heard of them until the report of
hla death reached Mra. Bessel. He had
boarded there about three months, and
had been In this country a year. He had
two brothers, who also are peddlera, Sam
Novlck, 1719 Castellar street, and John,
Eighteenth and Dorcas streets.
Hard luck and failure In his peddling
business are assigned by his relatives as
the probable cause of Novlck'a suicide.
They say he threatened to kill himself six
months ago, when he was peddling rags,
but they dissuaded him from the Idea, ad
vanced him his team and wagon and
stsrted htm In the fruit peddling business.
When he returned home from work at
4 o'clock Monday he threatened to throw
away his unaold load of fruit, but neigh
bors bought It out of pity. Then he donned
his best clothes, left his team standing
hitched, after removing one of the reins
from the harness and disappeared.
Coroner Heafey will hold a post mortem
examination to see if he took poison. The
Inquest will take place
Wednesday morning.

All Chinks Arc
Closely Watched
Every Chinaman Who Enters Depot
is Regarded with Suspicion
Since Sigel Murder.
"All eyes are on the Chinese now," said
Btatlon Master Keene at the Union depot.
"Since the murder of that Slgel girl In
New Tork, and the beginning of the hunt
ror her supposed slayer, Lon Ling, every
Chinaman who comes Into this station Is
looked upon with suspicion by the police
and civilians.
"The Chinamen all look alike to most
people now and whenever one of them
comes along toward the gates from a train
you can Just see every man and woman
around here eyeing him aa though he were
the murderer of the missionary.
"Thla morning a chink, about five feet
In height and with a deep squint, came in
from the east. He looked so much like
pictures of Leon Ling that I gave him
more attention than I usually do.
"A traveling man who was Just going to
leave town noticed him also, and came up
to me to say that the Chinaman looked
mighty like the suspected murderer. He told
me the fellow ought to be watched and we
called a policeman's attention to the fellow,
"Tne cop set our suspicions at rest Im
mediately by telling ua that the yellow
man had been living In Omaha for three
or four years. The policeman knew blm
well.
"But that Illustration will show you how
suspicious every white man Is of the China
men since that murder In the east."
OSGOOD IS UNDER ARREST
Federal Aathorltles Get the Sfaa
Believed to Be Impersonator of
Secret Service Offlcer.
Walter Osgood, believed to be the man
under Indictment by the federal grand Jury
of April 2S on the charge of Impersonating
a government seoret service officer and of
obtaining money on checks through that
Impersonation, was arrested late Monday
afternoon while at work for the Orove-
Wharton Construction company at For
tieth and Lake streets. He was working
under the name of "Buck Walters" and la
said to ba the man who was secreted In
the bedroom of his cousln-ln-law, Mra Jen
nie Florlne, at Florence, last Thursday
night when the federal authorltlea were
held at the door by the woman and her
daughter.
Walters, as he calls himself, refuses to
be questioned as tohls Identity or the
truth of the allegations. The authorities
are convinced, however, that he Is ths man
they want. Secret Pervlce Agent H. ' B.
Mills and Deputy United States Marshal
McCallum made the' arrest. Agent Mills

The offense with which Osgood Is
charged occurred March IS. When the
grand Jury returned the Indictment, the

Osgood Is said to have made Ms home at
the Florlne houss In Florence. Through
their friendship for him, the two women
resisted the officers when they went to
the house last week to take Mm Into cus
tody, and so they have been bound over
to the grand Jury, the charge being resist
ing federal officers.
Doctors' Prescript loaa.

that the doctors ot this country freely pre

their patlenta until they are advertised to
the public, after which time they consider
It a duty to Immediatelycondemn the very

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Conncil Recommends Passage of
Sanitary Ordinance,
BOND ORDINANCE XXTBODUCED
Mayor Koataky Home froaa Chicago
Peter Sheaada Confesses At
tempt to Boh Reawcckl'i
aloe a.
The city council at Us meeting last night
recommended the passage of the sanitary
ordinance and the three ordlnancea elimin
ating the five-year clause from three pav
ing bond contracts aa requeeted by To
ledo brokers and ordered the city attorney
to draft an ordinance eliminating aales and
performances by street faklra.
The sanitary ordinance Is a long Instru
ment consisting of ninety sections, cover
ing all the points ot sanitation, building
and drainage. It la copied carefully after
the ordlnancea of New York, Chicago and
Omaha. The aim waa to provide for all the
conditions of a metropolitan city. The or
dinance met with considerable opposition
on account of Its length, aa some members
objected to the expense of publishing it.
A long petition was received from promi
nent business men of the olty asking that
the street fakirs be kept from exhibiting
or selling wares on the open streets of the
city. This refers to the traveling fakirs,
who sell knives. Jewelry or give patent
medicine showa. The Council instructed
the city attorney to draft an amendment
to the general license ordinance In this
particular,
The thiee ordinances desired by Spltier
& Co., were Introduced and will be passed
as speedily aa possible so aa to facilitate
the sale of the paving bunds. The new or
dinance makes no mention of a five-year
option tor the retirement ot these bonds.
1'he city attorney recommended the pas
sage on the ground that the clause was
material, as there was a charter provision
covering the point which no city ordinance
could repeal.
Dan Hannon was awarded the contract
for the construction ot the Twelfth street
sanitary sewer.
Petitions, SBklngior the grading of 8
street from Thirty-second to Thlrtletn,
and Fortieth street from Q to P streets.
were received. A petition was also re
ceived for the grading ot Polk street from
Thirteenth to Railroad avenue.
The claim for city obligations to the
amount of $14,686, due at the fiscal agency
in New Tork, was allowed. This amount
Is drawn from the Interest fund.
F. Q. Wallwsber was awarded a con
tract to handle the city garbage for a
period of three years. Mrs. Peter Woods
has a license for this work, It Is main
tained by some that this action of the
council will not stand, aa it Is claimed
the city haa no authority to grant a
monopoly of this buslneas.
Numerous grading ordinances were rec
ommended for passage.
Tho council will meet as a Board of
Equalisation July 13 and 14, to adjust spe
cial assessments of sidewalk taxea. Un
der the new charter the council meets
every month for this purpose.
The council adjourned until 11 a. m. to
day, when the ordinances covering the pav
ing propositions will be submitted for sec
ond reading.
Mayor Home from Chicago.
Mayor Frank Koutsky and the olty engi
neer, Q. W. Roberts, returned from Chi
cago Sunday. While in Chicago they ex
amined the asphaltum concrete Davlna of
Michigan avenue. This Is a concrete of
ohlpped stohe, "bound by asphalt Instead
of cement. They were pleased with it
because' of Its durability and the fact that
it can be laid for about one-third less
than any other paving. There la no pat
ent on tne process, and any contractor
can manufacture this kind of concrete.
It is probable that this kind of paving
may be Included In the future estimates
of the city engineer for all classes of resi
dence streets.
