Delay In accepting th generous offer of
Oeaeral Dodge wag due kg the fast that
several large eastern capltalltta war In
terested with him In the ownership of th
land lying between th south II n of the
Ferry addition and th Union Pacific
bridge, and It waa oecsary to secure
their coses nt to th gift When thl was
all arranged It wa discovered that Ben
Jamla Marks owned a twentieth Interest
In the Dodg tract, but whn th matter
was called to Ms attention he told th
park oommleilonerl all that was required
wa t bring him a quit claim deed cover

Th condition connected with the gift
of Oeneral Dodge and his associate! re
quire the expenditure of not leas than
M.W In th construction of th boulevard
from th t'nloa Pacific bridge to th
south lino of Ferry sddltlon. which wttl
mark tha southern boundary of the new
park. The money for this purpose can b
lakes from the amoant oa band .rald
tor th park purchase, aa It becomes th
only oooelderatloa connected with th
purchase of th toad. Ta entire boule
vard will coat not tees I haa , and
HI have to be paid for by money raised
by future taxation. Th amount to be con
demned south of Broadway and th forty
aero on the aorta will coat not mm than
IIS aa acre, or about SMSi
"W want to make of th tract north
of Broadway a forty-aer playground tor
the boys and girl of futur generations,
aa well a tha pre ern t. The car Una and
public highway running through the park
at tu center will always make both th
park and th playground equally accee
slble." said Mr, Graham yesterday. "We
wil) go ahead and Improve the ..tract
slowly, as fund are received from th
light taxation that must prarM the
meeas. It will thua be several years be
fore the big plan we have mapped out
nil ha fully realised, but we bellev
future generations will thank a for what
we have dooe."
Owners Will Debate.
It Is expected that a large part of th
right-of-way tor the boulevard north of
th property to be condemned will be do
nated by the ewaarc Tha boulevard will
be high enough above the present lyei
to act aa levee to prevent over floe i
from the river. It wMl paaa under th
railway hrtdg and continue along the
higher hank f th river tor the enure
distance. While tha acq uist lion of th
property will extinguish th privilege of
maintaining shooting grounds by th
Omaha sad Council Bluffa sua clubs th
sow park will . be of groat interest to
Omaha, for It will be with a ' five
minute car or automobile rtde from the

LETTER WRITTEN BY PLUMB
TELLS OF PIONEER STRUGGLE
In tearing down an old house ytrday
on the farm of George H. Osborn In
Haxel Dell township, eight mile north of
Council Bluff, a perfectly preserved lat
ter was found behind th plastering ot th
oiling in th main living room that
vividly recalled the pioneer day of thl
vicinity. Th letter bore date ot April
it. Hot and was written by Louis B.
Plumb from Blnghamton. f. Y.. to E.
T. Cary ot "Kancavllla, Territory of
lows." Mr. Osborn moved Into tb hous
on th day that Lincoln was assassinated,
April IS, 10, and occupied it continu
ously as hi bom until h completed a
new modern hous thl year. The house
had been built tor some time before he
acquired tha place and be recall having
heard that It waa one owned by a man
named Plumb. '
The writer of th letter ititet thit while
traveling on a steamboat from Portland,
Me., he had seen an advertising card
bearing Cary't nam and address end In
vltlng easterner to com west. Tb
latter was mailed before the day of en
velope. Jt waa written on blue-tinted
bond paper, which atlll retain IU original
color except where It haa been stained
by contact with moisture, snd th Ink la
sull unfaded. Mr. Plumb wrote that he
had "a wife and several good children
and about aW) in money." He wanted
to buy with a part ot thl capital "eighty
or KB acre of good ground." He made
pertinent Inqulrte concerning timber,
water and beaithfuln of tha climate,
but wanted to know most of all what
kind ot fish there waa In the stream
"and th price of produc with yon." He
also wanted to know how far It wa
"from Chicago and th Tadlit! for get
ting there," '
Th inference U that Mr. Cary wrota
tb proper kind ef a letter and located
his oerreapondent up on" the farm that
afterward became Ithe homestead of th
Osbora family. That Plumb" was som
thing more .than a shift! fkihnsa

log need by th ordinary pioneer, but
from sawed rambar, evidently all sawed

studding and Joists were all of: cotton

timbers in rack excellent state of pressr

that he ha lived "there forty seven year

It becomes a sort ot monument te Mr.

fet Provisions Go
Out of Naval Bill
WASHINGTON, May 3.-A rough re
ception wo accorded the naval appro
priation' hill when consideration of that
measure was resumed in th house today.
On after another pet - provision ot the
framer of tha bill went out on polnta sf
order, although Representative Padgett
of Tennessee! chairman, and Representa
tive Hobson of Alabama ot tha naval af
fair oommltte pleaded for gentler treatment-.
,
Three of the principal reforms itrlcken
out Included a proposed change In th
promotion and retirement of officer,
hated more largely oa saa servlcs than
at present, th creation of a council of
national defense and the creation sf th
rank ot admiral and vice admiral, to be
bestowed on th commanders of the At
lantis snd Pacific fleet. Mr. .Hobson
mad a strong plea tor th tint named
proposition. .
"The retired Hat ot th navy I a cry
ing scandal." he said. "We spend In nay
for retired admirals more than tl.MO.OM a
year, while the active pay Hat I only
K.OuO.OOQ. W have 111 admirals on the
retired list and only twenty-eight on
active duty. Out of seventy captama and
130 commanders on the active list we have
but two who have Men . mor than two
years of sea duty."
Abolition of what Chairman Padgett
termed an "admiral factory" was sought
in a oommltte amendment which wa
adopted, prescribing that hereafter offi
cer transferred to tha hesda of bureaus
In the department will resume their regu
lar rank when they return to the line.
Under the present law Junior officers ap
pointed to be temporary chiefs of bureau
with rank of rear admiral retain the rank
whan they go back Into active duty or
are retired.
Representative Murray of Massachu
setts, democrat, precipitated a lively din
cues! on by seeking to amend the hill to
prevent enlisted men from engaging m
work aboard ahip la port that civilian
labor could perform. The amendment
wa Intended to safeguard th interest!
ot union labor, but waa defeated, IT te U.
Consideration of the Mil had not been
completed when th hous adjourned.

Root Not Acceptable.
"When tha convention meets," sail
McHarg, "the Roosevelt strength will b
such that we will control, sbsolutoly. W
I roFOs th organize thst convention along
lines that will not be at all comfortable
for Senator Root to preside. That con
vention must have a chairman a man'
who la In accord with Colonel Roose
velt's views and policies and that mean
tt must bs some on other than Senatoa
Root, It is obviously imposalbl to hav
a chairman delivering a keynote speech
who Is out of sympathy with Colonel
Roosevelt and tha progressiv cause.
There Is no other aid to that queetloe."
In discussing tha subject of the con
tests to he brought before the national
committee. McHarg said there would h
at least 2a or 170 contested seats as
against 2 contested sests at ths IMS
national convention.' Ha will return t?

Neither Taft ner Roosevelt will have M
pledged delegate, th required number
to nominate, la the republican national
convention, according to opinions ex
pressed during a discussion ot the prob
able lineup by member of th national
committee here today. Th members
greed that the control vt the convention
would be In the hands ot the unlns tract sd
delegate, but would vouchsafe no guess
a to what their action might be In the
matter of selecting a candidate.
A supporter ot Taft on tha oommltte
declared that even If Roosevelt wen all
the delegates yet to be chosen, he still
would be short et the accessary te votes,
, It is expected thet the first real teet
vote between the Taft and Roosevelt
force la th convention will be an th
sdoption of the report ot the committee
oa credentials. Every contest passed oa
by the national committee probably will
ba taken before the committee nn-cre-dentlala
and fought out oa ths floor of
ths convention. The committee. It I pre
dicted, will he about evenly divided, snd
majority and minority reports are almost
certain to be presented to the convention.
The members of the national committee
whd nave considered the matter do not
expect a tight to he made oa the selection
of Eltha Root as temporary chairman ot
the convention. . - i ; ' -

"Th choice by the national oommltte
ot a temporary chairman, as verybody
knows," said Mr. Rosewsur, "Is ta the
nature of a recommendation, which the
couventioa ordinarily accepts. If Sen

of th convection which nominated Mr.

the same position la U1X.

such talk will to any way influence the
