Klthr President Taft or Attorney Qen-,-.1
u'irVrihim w . i be In Omaha In
rv tohr (o attend and take a prominent I
purl In the convention of the National I
prison sssoelatlon. This assurance was
Slven today or Joseph P. Byers. general
(retarv of the organisation, of Newark.
N J. ...who. la here to confer with the
lorsl rommlttee regarding the coming con
vention. Mr. .Byers spoke this morning to
a meeting of men at the Toung Men's
Christian association, and at noon he met
the local committee at a luncheon given at
the Rome hotel.
Mr. Byers gav the committee a general
Idea of the scope of the work undertaken
by the national organisation, and explained
to them what the- must do to make the
coming convention a success. The conven
tion will be held during the week of Oc
tober 14. and there will be about 400 dele
gate praeent, many of the moat prominent
prison reform workers of the United States
and Europe.
At the conference today there were pres
ent about seventy-five of the most prom
toeot men of Omaha, including Jurists,
mtnlstvs and reformers
Comfcreavee) I.nackea.
The . conference luncheon was presided
ever by Ir. W. M. Davidson, who out
lined the purpose of the prison association,
and read an Interesting letter from Bishop
Bneoher, who found It Inconvenient to at
tend. The principal talk was gtven by Mr.
Byers, who prefaced his speech with en
thusiastic remarks concerning the large
representation present. "I have never seen
the local organisation equaled In other
cities where conventions have been held,
and this ' Indicates .'that we are going to
have the beet - meetlnc In the history of
the association."
He spoke of the county Jail as con
ducted In Nebraska, and especially In
Iloiiglas county, as being a disgraceful
Institution,' made so by reason of the fact
that Juveniles and young men are all
thrown together with the hardened crim
inal. 'He also outlined what would be done
at the corning convention in the matter of
reports. There will be discussions on many
vital ijstlons pertaining to the criminal
and the proper manner of handling him.
He urged that Omaha people- visit the
Iresl jails and become acquainted with
conditions before the association meets In
Qctober
Mayor Dahlman, Victor Rosewater. Mrs.
Florence Kelly and others responded with
short talks, all of which Indicated that a
S t eat deal of interest is being taken in the
I'onilny convention.
EASTER LIGHTENS THE
WORK OF THE CARRIERS
Hot Half as Many People Come for
Their Mall Sunday Clos
ing Dlseasaed.
Clerks in the postofftce are among the
people who are thankful for Easter day
and yesterday was no exception to the rule
that on Easter Sunday when every per
son, secular or religious, tarns out and
goes somewhere to church, the work at
th postofftce Is easier. The average at
tendance at the postofflce during the dis
tributing hours is about 3,000. These people
swoob down upon the mall distributers all
together and make the noon hrur a strenu
ous and nerve-trying time for the carriers.
Yesterday this number was cut down by
one-half. "- ' ' ,
"There' were not more than 1.000 or 1,50ft
people here during the distributing hour
yesterday," said Assistant Postmaster
Woodward, "and we nearly always have at
least twice that many. There might have
been some other reason for it, but the fact
that nearly every one goes somewhere to
church on Easter day seems to explain It.
The agitation for Sunday closing which Is
coming Into Omaha from other cities Is
spreading and several rumors have started
to give the impression that we are already
closing on Sundays. We probably will take
the matter up officially very soon, but for
a while we are atill giving mail to those
who come a.fter It, and next Sunday the
same 1.000 probably will be back again."

Money lenders who attempted to net

peared at the office with a bin bunch of

saying; that he would not present any
others If these would be filed. '
Though advised to file them with the

rights, the money lender did not present
them to the clerk's department.
"Our refusal to handle assignment has
met with general approval," said the comp
troller. "Msny employes who have been as
signing their wages have come to mo and
thanked me for my stand. One n.an told
me he had not seen his warrant for more
than a year and that now he would get

"You nave no Idea how the practice of
assignments has grown. As an Instance,
last week there were zSO laborers on the
city's payroll. Of this number 177 as
signed their entire wages, paying from 6
to 10 per cent for the privilege."

Five hundred miles of carpet, valued at
1.00. will pass through Omaha Wednes

Alexander & Sn. i. carpet makers, of
Yonkers. made this Immense order for
themselves and are sending the special
train west to California to establish a new
branch on the Pacific coast. It Is the
longest train of Its kind eer run in Amer
ica, the country of Immense freight trains.
It has been figured out by railroad men
that if the carpet was laid out In regular
width It would reach 600 miles, ths dis
tance from Omaha to Chicago, and that
if piled up in rolls. In a square of ground
containing 400 square yards, the height of
the pile would be greater than that of the:
Singer building.
