North Sixteenth street and fam Moss, j

o'clock Sunday morning by a Bee reporter.
At these places, as at others, pitch games

were played presumably with rhips of the
house and with stake of ' two-bits a cor

pical Incident occured. Along about 3
o'clock In the morning two Norwegians, a
Swede and a tiennan. after repeated pass
ing of a pocket bottle, having previously
aid a good foundation, became the best of
frlenda on earth, Shortly they foregath
ered In a circle with arms about each
othar'a neck and commenced to alng. Each
sang of hi own Individual fatherland, and
all at once. The German yodeled and the
Notsv man painted glowing plctu"r?a of their
homeland fjorda.
An Irishman, himself In the belligerent
tagn, who was watching the pitch game
In the rear, nan told that the German, was
railing him name, lie rose to make a
few emphatic remarks, and an ancient feud
boded a fresh opening. The trouble, how
ever, aoon subsided.
The halls along lower Douglas street,
during the early hours of the night, were
filled almost to suffocation with a large
crowd of men and hoy of varying ages.
Although on that border line -at which It
la hard to tell the exact age, a large num
ber of boys were undeniably under 18 years
t age.
The men were different types. Among
the loafer, an ever-changing crowd, there
was far more than a sprinkling of "the
bum," alert for a chance at a "touch."
The games In progress evidently had
little Interest for them; they were Just
"sticking around."
Numerous faces had the Indubitable crim
inal east paste complexions betokening
light acquaintance with open air or day'
light, and shifting eyes.
' Where ynh coin to flop tonight 7" was a
iXrsQuent question.
"Search me." waa the laconic reply often
Qnada.
Many of tlwa younger played as long as
jfthey bad nay money left, not stopping until
Other were "flat broke."
"What Jch doln' now-a-days, CoveyT"
; "Mothis much," and "Lew go gut and stir

Councilman Who Prefers
to be, a
The trials of a city councilman
have so worked on Charles M. 1'avls,
who repreae.it" the Twelfth ward.
Ihat hp declares he I through with
the legislation end nf the 1 1 v af
fairs. Iiavla has studied the situa
tion closely, he says, and has come
to the conclusion that he would
lather Interpret the law than to
make them. Consequer tly. he as
pire to a judgeship.
The debonair councilman has
picked out a police Judgeship for him
self. At the banquet gien by liood
ley Mrucker to member of the
council Thursday night, liavls came
out flat-footed and stated he would
make the race for police Judge to
sin reed Hr ce Crawford, w ho. It is
said, will run for a berth as district
judge.
"It's a whole lot easier to Interpret
the laws than to make them." de
flated liavls. "As a Judnr, you are
the whole show. When, as a mem
ber of the city council, one wishes
to do his friends a favor by getting
some ordinance througn, he has to
make six of the other rrembers see
it his way. Then there Is the mayor, who has to be enlightened on the sub
ject. All this Is easy, sometimes. JJut when you are sitting up there on the
bench And a culprit Is brought before you, you can hand him "his" If the
charges warrant and that is all there 1 to It. Ile a got to go higher up, If he
wants it reversed. That the beauty of being a Judge. You are "It" all the
time."
POLITICS AT THE ClTY HALL
Two Councilmen Are Already After
Goodley Brucker's Job.
WOULD BE COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Drrka "ays the Job Wii Promised to
Him by the Combination and
Barnteeter le in a Re-e-tlre
Meod.
Some one forgot to oil the cogs In the
combination which lias been riominatlnK
the city council since the reorganization
one rear ago. Consequently a split Is
Imminent and unless the six republicans
and three Insurgent democrats can get
together, the stand patters are liable to
have an Inning.
Though politics were avoided In the
main at the Brucker banquet Thursday
night, It developed that the combination la
pllt on the election of a successor to
Ooodley Brucker, whose term aa president
of the city council expires next month.
Judge Louis Berka is a pronounced
candidate to succeed Brucker and loula
Burmeater, former president of the council
Is a receptive candidate. But Burmester's
receptlveness has extended to such a point
that he Is active in his own behalf.
And that has occasioned the split. Berka
has a following of five while Burmester
has lined up four.
Berka contends that he was promised
the place when the combination put
Brucker ovwr aa president. Other mem
bers declare that the place was promised
to some republican member of the council
and there the difference lies.
A significant fact at the banquet, which
Melted comment, waa that neither member
of the stand patter band. Bridges, Funk-
houser or McGovern attend the feast.
A successor to Brucker will be elected
next month.
CONTRACTORS SQUABBLE
OVER HIGH SCHOOL BIDS
One Firm Asks aa Exfenaloa of Time
and Other Firms Make
Objection.
Quite a squabble, was started at the
meeting of the Board of Education this aft
ernoon whan a meeting was held to open
the new bids on the high school under the
revised specifications. The trouble started
when F. O. Hamilton, representing Hamil
ton Bros, of this city, asked for more time
to prepare his bid. C. R. Overbaugh, rep
resenting the Noel Construction company
of Chicago, objected, as did also Bridges &
Hoy. The board granted an extension of
time until 4 o'clock, Mr. Overbaugh then
withdrew the bid of his company.

'CITY DADS FAYOR ROCK PILE
Berka Says He Has Enough Votes to
Pass the Ordinance.
ARGUMENTS ARE ALL FOR IT
Donah ne aya a liood Rock Pile Will
lie aa Efficient as to Add Half
Dosen Patrolmen to the
Police Force.
Pesplte opposition by certain members of
the city council to the plan for a rock pile
In Omaha, Councilman Berka declares he
will Introduce a retiolution providing for
the installation of the protect next week.
Moreover. Berka says the scheme will he
approved by the city fathers, as he has
assurances of enough votes to put the. In
novation Into effect.
"Why shouldn't the rock pile be estab
lished?" says Berka. "Practically every
department In the city favors the plan.
Ch'ef of Police Donahue savs It will In
crease the efficiency of hla force as much
aa adding half a dozen patrolmen. City
BnRlneer Craig declares that It can be
made a paying proposition from the beRin
nlng. The Associated Charities officials
state that It will aid them greatly, and I
believe It will keep the tramps and other
hoboes out of the city.
"Omaha Is overrun with tramps at
present. The weary willies know that they
can sojourn In Omaha unmolested. As, a
result they flock here and make the city
a centralizing point for their operations.
"It will also provide a place for petty
criminals, who ran be made to pay their
way while existing at tlie expense of the
city.
"Kvery argument Is in favor of a rock
pile. There is nothing that can be said
against the project. So I will surely put it
up to the council to approve the plan."
