Massphrey rails te Appear.
Richard L. Humphrey, president of the
National Cement Users association, was
slated to make an address before the
convention. He was delayed, however, and
was unable to appear.
The morning session was the most
Interesting of any during the convention.
C. A. P. Turner, "father of the Turner
system of reinforced concrete construc
tion.' addressed the convention on rein
forced concrete construction and he made
his remarks doubly Interesting by the
use of stereoptlcon slides, showing hugs
buildings In the course of construction.
The John Deere building here was con
structed on Turner principles, as was the
Henshaw hotel. The speaker told of the
methods of cement construction and of
the materials that bring ths best results
His remarks were largely technical and
.-ertalned mostly to different qualities
of construction material, but from the
convention's point of view, it was an en
lightening feature-of the meeting.
Ceadra Talks ea Sand.
Mr. Turner was followed by Prof. Con
dra of the University of Nebraska. Prof.
Condra Is In charge of the physical
geography classes and Is well acquainted
with geographical conditions In this
state. He chose for his subject "Sand and
Gravel Resources of Nebraska."
"Nebraska Is one of the best states In
the union for gravel and sand purposes,
besides being a large farm state. The
sand and gravel here. I the best possible
for construction purposes and Is easy to
set at These two conditions are the
most Important. In many states sand
and gravel must be Imported for build
ing purposes, but In Nebraska we find
that It la so easy to get and of such
fine quality that we can furnish neigh
boring states with K."
Prof. Condra then analysed the" various
sands la the state. Ho said that quarts
was plentiful everywhere and that other
elements that go to make durable sand
are found In plenty.
W. F. Roney of Grand bland told of
the introduction of cement paving in his
lty. and ha said that thus tar eemsnt as
paving material was proving to be highly
successful. Orand Island has a number
of streets that are paved with cement
and Mr. Roney says that It wlD sot be
long before the dty council there will
realise the value of cement and pave all
' cf the streets with It
The paper on "Cement Silo Construc
tion," which waa to have been read yes
terday by If. L. King of Ames. Is,, was
read before the convention. Mr. L B.
Watenpeugh of Western, Neb., closed the
session with a brief talk on 'The Future
of the Organisation." He said that ce
ment and concrete was no longer an ex
periment but a material that Is known
to be aa Important factor In construction
work. He said that an organization such
as the Nebraska Cement Users' associa
tion does much for the advancement of
scientific concrete and cement construc
tion, and he said that any advancement
la concrete science that might be made
would be due to organisations such as
the Nebraska association.
Bonynge to Talk
on Banking Eef orm
The Commercial dob of Omaha has ex
tended an invitation to Honorable Robert
W. ' Bonynge of Denver to address the
club on the subject "The Promotion of a
Sound Banking System." at 1 o'clock.
Tuesday, February H, at the club room.
The invitation was accepted for Mr.
Bonynge . by Prof. Hurray 8. WUdmaa,
aecretarf of organisation of The National
Cltisens' league. Chicago.
- Prof. Wlldman writes of sir. Bonynge
as follows: "Mr. Bonynge has been a
member of the national monetary com
mission and makes sn admirable address
In explanation of the monetary com
mission's report Ha la a speaker of
much force and his addresses are gen
erally well received. Ho was formerly
a member of congress from the Denver
district."
The appeal of the league Is to the
patrons of banks. It Is a nonpartisan
association of men of all occupation. It
Is advocating ths enactment of no bill
before congress, but It Is endeavoring to
awaken popular opinion to the very great
necessity for a reform la the national
banking system.
Vague Suit Started
Against Detective
Evidence of a shocking nature against
an Omaha man, aald to be prominent In
business circles, la valued at SUM by II.
K. Cochran, an attorney at 7 Omaha
National bank building, who claims he
has secured It tor a D. Jolly, a private
detective He started suit in district court
Friday to compel Jolly to pay him the
money and to divulge the name at the
person fur whom Jolly desired the In
formation.
The petition la vague. It alleges that he
rendered "certain sen-toes" for Jolly, who
wanted them for a "certain parson,"
whose name be would not divulge. Now
that Cochran has secured the desired evi
dence, he says. Jolly refuses to pay him
far it
Cochran refuses to give the name of the
business man. He says the evidence re
gards the maintenance of an office room
for improper purposes la an Omaha pub-
110 building.
STEVE MALONEY BIG MAN
IN THE EYESOF THIS ALIEN
Charles 8. Redwood, federal naturalisa
tion examiner. Is holding examinations In
the federal building for aliens who are
ready to take out their second papers.
Over twenty-five were examined Thurs
day and Mr. Redwood still has a large
number to attend to.
Some of the Instances where the appli
cants are called upon to answer ques
tions furnish extremely funny situations
snd Mr. Redwood says that he would
rather have his )o than a life pass to
the best vaudeville show In town.
" Teaterdey I asked a Greek who lives
in the Third ward 'who makes the laws
for the United States r The fellow
scratched, hie heed and after thinking a
few minutes replied. "Boob Milder aa'
Teddy Roeenfeldt" Another man said
that the reason the constitution waa
adopted was a that the eharches could
make the saloon close at S o'clock. This
same man bad beea coached for months
by his friends, but be msde the most
ludicrous mistakes of any I have exam
ined. When I asked him who represented
the executive department of the United
States he said that Steve Maloaey held
that proud position."

o'clock Friday morning. Death waa appar
ently caused by heart failure. A post

death as his driver. Scott was It years
old. and he was married to Miss Ethel
Smith. IBS South Twenty-eighth street,
on October 14 last year.
The body as found by the fumavre man
employed at the Baldwin residence. When
he elt the borne about S o'clock he no

residence, and It waa still atandmg there
at t o'clock, when he returned.

Thinking It strange that ths wsgoa
would be remaining In one place so song
the furnace man went to the rear of the
residence to make inquiries of the cook
ss to the driver. When Informed that
be bad not delivered the mtlk as ususl
they went to the front, opened the door
of the wagon and found Scott dead.
The Alemito office wss immediately
notified, and In tum Scott's em payers
notified Dr. lvmer E. Porter, who lives
in the neighborhood of tbe Baldwin home.
He msde a hurried examination and ex
pressed the bt'lk-f that cott had died
from heart failure. Realizing that the
coroner should have charge of the body
before It waa moved the doctor directed
his chauffeur, J. W. McN'cel. to climb
oa tbe seat with the dead asaa and drive
the milk wagon to the Alemito dairy. In
the meantime the coroner waa summoned.
Large Crowds Gather.
When McNeel drew up la front of the
dairy auut It became known on the
street that the vehicle conveyed a corpse
groups and squsds began to sassmhls,
stopping on their wsy downtown to work.
It wss not long until a big crowd, breath
less for details to satisfy their curiosity,
had gathered around the wagon. Aa
soon as ths coroner arrived tbe body was
removed to the morgue.
It Is evident that Scott expired shortly
after he suited out on his dally run, for
only a few of tbe milk bottlea had been
distributed to customers. Ths horse
hsd wandered probably for a hour before
It drew up in front of the Baldwin house,
a here It bad been accustomed to stop.
Until about a week ago Scott sad his

parenta on South Twenty-eighth street.
From there they went to live with his

Their Owa Charters for

Frankfort-on-the-Matn's civic rule as a
model for cities of the United States to
follow. In modified form, was described
by William D. Foulks of Richmond. InJ.,
president of the National Municipal
league. In an address before the Commer
cial club at the noon luncheon yesterday.
"Oovernment, especially city govern
ment, has lagged behind commercial prog
ress In the United States," he sevd. "But
city government la improving, the great
evidence being tbe adoption of the com
mission form by MS dues. Ths commis
sion form Is sn Improvement, but not the
flnsl form. It concentrates responsibil
ity, but I'm not sure that It oonoontrstss
enough. I'm not sure but we ought to
hsvs one man to sasnsgs ths city, corre
spond rag to the oberburgermelstsr of th
Uermsa city. .
"Our plaa of changing our charters Is
a bad ana. The German and ErigluWi plan
of a national board of city supervleors
is a good one.
"The German cities hare a short bal
lot. Tour commission form of govern
ment Is good bees nee tt provides for a
short ballot; tt would be better It the
ballot were snorter. Until ws la Amer
ica get accustomed to netng the short
