PONDERS ON EDUCATION ALONG LINES' OF REFORM Derelict Plcka Man' Pocket and la Thinking and Looking It . Over K When Officer Arrives. Dowa on Farnam street, where the lights burn brightest, the derelict halted late last night to think It over. He had picked a man's pocket. "What do you? fink of that?" h mused as he watched a late car bobble up the street. ' Did he need money, the derelict? Was tiie way of crime the only way he could do more, than exist? A fat wallet bulged out the south pocket of his trousers. It was the pocketbook ha had. stolen. He was in bad straits, the derelict. He waa also to the bad with the police.

William Randolph Hearst, once defeated for mayor of this city by George B. McClellan and later de feated by Charles E. Hughes for Governor of the atate, was nominated fur mayor to night at a mass meeting of 4.000 of his admirers at Cooper Union. This action was taken despite his authoritative state ment last evening that he would not be a candidate. Resolutions were adopted direct ing that a committee of five be appointed to take steps for the naming of an entire city, county and borough ticket, which will be placed In nomination by petition. Tonight's meeting was called, according to Its leaders, with a view to showing Mr, Hearst that opinion among his followers In the old Independence league was so strongly In favor of his running again aa to override even his positive declaration. The hopes of the leaders were more than rea lized, every seat In the big hall was filled and the name of Mr. Hearst was greeted every time It was mentioned with a salvo of cheers. When, after a half dozett "opening speeches," he was formally noml nated for mayor, the meeting rose to Its feet after the approved manner of political conventions and the demonstration which followed lasted twenty minutes before the chairman's call for order could be heard. No Indications as to what Mr. JHearst's attitude would be toward the action of the meeting was received before adjourn ment waa taken, but the leaders and speakers expressed confidence that it would ba impossible for him to refuse. The third party which Is thus suddenly projected into New York's municipal campaign will not be known as the Independence league, but wilt probably bear the title "Citizens' party," or some similar designation. The platform,, as . Indicated by the speak ers, will express distrust of the intentions of both the republican and democratic parties which have already nominated full local tickets, declaring that a silent al liance exists between: Tammany and the local republican machine which would make good government" under either' an Impos sibility. It will declare. In strong terms for municipal ownership .oil subways,, economy ot' administration, tan adequate school and transit facilities. ' -iv The principal address of the evening waa made by William M Ivlns, who was the candidate for mayor against Hearst and McClellan four years ago. 4'- "Tfe'iti 'vftti5'$$&' '&$&'to&WJiyJ?!

One of the prettiest automobile demon' stratlons witnessed here recently was that of the Carter car yesterday afternoon taking the Rome Miller hill. Many enthu siasts rnde out to see the performance. This Is perhaps the steepest hill around Omaha, and the road Is In wretched repair, the rains having left trenches and small gutlya from top to bottom of It O. I. Eckcrt drove the car and carried four passengers, one of whom, N. L. Malony, weighed more than 260 pounds. The car went down the hill, and turning at the foot of it, began its climb without making a running start. Qld automobile men pronounce It a won derful performance. Another demonstration was made on the Davenport hill, when the Carter car took the hill backwards, stopping several times in the steepest parts, and then proceeding to the top without apparent effort. Malony & Clark, business men of Oak land, la., are introducing the car Into this sectiou of the west. They have established offices at 1117 Farnam Btreet and will be known as the Omaha Motor Car company. They claim that superiority of the Carter car over others as hill climbers lies In the friction transmission, as against gear transmission. This consists of an alloy friction disc fastened to the end of a shaft, bolted to the rear of the fly wheel through a cross arm and two thin steel plates. This simple construction, the manufacturers claim," delivers a high percentage of the power developed In the motor to the rear wheels and enables the car to do work which cars with much greater power can not do. "Economy in power," they say, "Is an Important item in the economical maintenance of an automobile."

The Installation of the new cars for ser vice on the Farnum street line depends on the completion of the new car barn at Tenth and Pierce streets. The other car barns on this line will not properly house the big cars. The company contemplates the use of twenty-five of the big cars on the Farnam line. Of this number ten were bought from a Ht. Louis manufacturer, while the re maining fifteen are under construction In the company's shops at Twenty-seventh and Lake streets. 1 The repuir of cars crippled In riots is now requiring the attention of the full force In tha company's shops. The men ! employed in the construction department are being utilized In the repair of the damaged tara. Many cars have sustained injury through the violence of rioters and the handling of Inexperienced men, but the company has made no estimate of the loss from this source. SOUTH DAKOTA AFTER PRIZES Oats Farmers Are Going to Win Some Money at National Corn Exposition. "South Dakota Is going to show some of these older states something about corn at the National Corn exposition," said Hy Pleroe, county commissioner of Oregory county. South Dakota, who Is In Omaha to arrange for space at the show. "We are young in the business, but for all that are raising soma corn this year which will startle the natives. Our oats will also open their eyes. The trouble with the farmers In Nebraska Is that they are paying all their attention to Improving their corn and wheat and are not using enough Judgment In their selection 1f seed oats. That is one reason that our oat crops are better than those of the older states where tha farmers take whatever oats they have left laying around for seed. "Our seed waa all imported and we get correspondingly better crops. Thousands will learn this at the corn show. We are going to carry back some of those corn show medals."

Contending that In the discovery of the Hudson river as in the case of the North pole there Is "honor enough for two" thousands of Italians, smothered In flags, bunting and gay uni forms paraded down Broadway to the battery this afternoon, uhen they unveiled a statue of Giovanni de Verraxano, whom historians describe aa the .first Trans atlantic voyager to arrive In New York harbor. With no Intention to belittle the aclrlevo met.ts of Henry Hudson, Italians maintain that Verrazar.o discovered the Hudson in 1524. or erghty-flve years before the Half Moon's arrival. But the Florentine navi gator, evidently regarding the stream aa an ordinary one, left no detailed report of his exploration of the river. On this ac count he has received but little recognition in the new world for his achievement. The parade today comprised 2j0 Italian societies of New York, New Jersey, Con necticut and Massachusselts. Nearly 30.000 Italian men and women and 800 sailors from the Italian cruisers Etna and KtrUria were muntered for the demonstration and as they marched down Broadway they at tracted great crowds of onlookers In spite of the fact that the city has had a surfeit of parades lately. A gigantic float reproduced Verraiano's boat In flowers. To some unversed In history, the demonstration evidently seemed out of placa and either as indica tive of their disapproval or In a spirit of rowdyism, a number of cliff dwellers In Broadway skyscrapers threw down paper bags filled with water and other missiles upon the marchers.' '' ' ' ' At the unveiling of the monument ad dresses were delivered by the chalrmr.n of the monument committee, Charles Barsottl, editor of Progresso, an Italian newspaper In New York; by Rear Admiral Marquis Di Brochetti. representing King Victor Emmanuel of Italy and by leaders of the Italian colony of the city. The monument was erected by public subscription taken up among the Italians here. The day's festivities were concluded with a reception given by the local committee at Madison Square Garden tonight to the of ficers and men of the cruisers Ktrurla and Etna. Verrazano was a Florentine sailor born about 14K5. He was sent out on an explor ing expedition by Francis I of France, and Is supposed to have sailed up the Jersey coast into the New York harbor In 1524. Verranzo returned to France in 1524 and died the same year. He rendered an ao cpunt of his voyage to Francis I, The monument unveiled today is a heroic bust five feet in height, resting upon a pedestal seventeen feet high. The only English inscription on the monument Is extract from the hlstorlal John Flake, reading: "There can be no doubt what" ever as to Verranzano's entering New York . harbor in 1624."
