Police Fund Runs Short and City
Council Must Face Issue.
EXPENDITURES BEING LIMITED
Resolution Agreed to Which Author
ise Clerk to Draw. Only One
Twelfth of Fond Each Month
for Any Department.
Although City Treasurer John Oitlin re
cently announced to the public that he
had located sufficient funds with whloh
the fire and police board might maintain
their crippled departments until the end
of the fiscal year, City Cleric Perry
Wheeler announced to the city council
yesterday that he had but $30 in the police
fund, which is supposed to maintain the
department for the next two weeks. City
Clerk Wheeler told the councilmen that
l.e would not lay his office liable by
drawing warrants against a depleted fund.
The information given the council by
the city clerk means that the police fund
will probably run short from $600 to $1,000
unless the council accepts $800 occupation
tax from the telephone company which
was refused by the treasurer some days
ago.
The real business of yesterday's meet
ing was to consider ways and means for
escaping the annual deficit In the differ
ent funds. As suggested a year ago by
his department, City Attorney II. D.
Murphy insisted that it was the duty of
the council to live within the funds pro
vided for the separate departments. The
policy of limiting the expenditures of the
different departments was embodied in a
resolution which is to be directed to the
city clerk authorising him to draw
monthly warrants of not more than one
twelfth of any fund for the maintenance
of any department The resolution,
while not voted upon, was generally
agreed to by the different members of
the council. It was also agreed that all
balances remaining in the respective
funds at the end of the fiscal year, will
be turned into the Interest and sinking
fund.
The council seemed earnest In its en
deavor to inaugurate a policy of retrench
ment in the different departments of the
city and agreed upon a committee of the
council, the city clerk and the city at
torney to draft a plan of economy to be
submitted to the council at a later meet
ing. The following Is the motion bearing
on the police fund:
I move you, the adoption of the follow
ing resolution; that the funds set apart
for the fire department, likewise the funds
set apart for the police department, be
each divided at the outset of the fiscal
year into two separate funds, one to be
the salary portion, the other to be the
maintenance portion of said fund, and
that it be, and Is hereby, resolved that
the salary portion of said fund be divided
into twelve parts, representing the twelve
months of the fiscal year, and that the
tire and police board be notified that the
mayor and council will not allow, nor will
the city clerk draw for any month in the
ensuing year, warrants in excess of said
fund set aside for each of the twelve
months.
Ouster Hearing.
With only Fire and Police Commissioner
Joseph Pivonka present to face the music
the first hearing of the fire and police
ouster will take place Monday at 10
o'clock in Omaha, with former Governor
Silas Holcomb sitting as referee. Former
Mayor P. J. Tralnor, although not con
cerned in the ouster proceedings, except
as a witness, has been out of the city
for some weeks. Commissioner John J.
Ryan Is said to be in California and is
not expected to return for the hearing.
It Is said by those who claim to be
the friends of the accused commissioner
that the hearings will be only a prelude
to the ouster of Ryan and Pivonka. As
sistant Attorney General Ayers and Spe
cial Assistant Attorney General Dean
Ringer will act for the state, while
Smyth, Smith & Shall and H. B. Fleharty
will defend the accused commissioners.
Both the prosecution and the defense
stated yesterday that the presence of
the accused commissioners at the hearings
was not necessary. Some of the hearings
will be held in Lincoln.
Speaking of the case Special Assistant
Attorney General Dean Ringer stated yes
terday that he had received much new
evidence during the last few weeks. It
Is said that many saloon men who for
merly were timid in giving evidence, have
lately lent their assistance to the prose
cution. Their names are being kept
secret
Close Sewer Manholes.
Indignant at the tardy policy of the ad
ministration In relieving them of a nuis
ance, forty members of the Southeast
Improvement club turned out yesterday
afternoon and closed up thirty-six man
holes in the sewer along Railroad avenue.
The nuisance complained of by the resi
dents of the southeast section of the city
was an unendurable stench which is said
to arise from the manholes along Rail
road avenue sewer. Six weeks ago, the
members of the improvement club main
tain, they were promised Immediate re
lief. City Engineer Beale has endeavored
to alleviate the trouble, but funds at his
disposal proved Inadequate to the needs.
The members of the Southeast Improve!
ment club when they realized that the
city could afford them no Immediate re
lief, held an indignation meeting Friday
night and yesterday they turned out
forty strong with shovels and pick axes
They closed thirty-six manholes in the
aewer.

SHOW LORES YOUNGSTER
Little Georgie Beeson Leaves Home,
Police Find Him.
BOOSTED UNDER CIRCUS CANVAS
Stake-Driver Takes Pity on Little
Tot and Furnishes Hint with a
SeatParents Find Hint ,
at Nisjht.
The lure of the varl-colored circus post
ers announcing that a circus had come to
town proved too much for little 3-year-old
Georgie Beeson yesterday morning,
so promptly with the first note of the
circus band the little fellow fled for down
town, where he spent the entire morning
following the parade from street to street
It was his third runaway experience of
the week, but the threats of spankings
made by his foster father, Fred B. Bee-
son, manager of the State Furniture com
pany, were forgotten In the excitement of
seeing all of the cowboys and Indians.
Dinner time came and the little fellow
followed the callope to the circus grounds.
He was hungry, but he ate with his eyes
and . his tiny stomach didn't feel the
least bit uncomfortable. A horny-fisted
stake driver playfully boosted the young
ster under the canvas and into a $1 seat,
where he watched the afternoon perform
ance, and it was 6 o'clock In the evening
before he remembered his home. Then,
with a sudden recollection, the threats
about the spanking came back to him,
and he turned his dirty little bare feet
townward. At 8 o'clock he was picked up
near Twelfth and Dodge streets by an
Italian blacksmith and brought to the
police headquarters, where Mrs. Beeson
had kept the telephone busy nearly twelve
hours.
The little boy's parents were notified
and while they were coming to the sta
tion to take him home, Mrs. Gibbons, the
police matron, regaled Georgie with a
tale about . what happens to little boys
with dirty feet and then Georgie, very
much ashamed of himself, consented to
submit to a bath.
Cleaned up, he remembered that he was
hungry and began to whimper. A couple
of police reporters took him to a nearby
restaurant, . where he filled up on nearly
a dollar's worth of steak, milk, bread,
peach pie and sugar. When he had fin
ished his meal and was being taken to
the station again he suddenly spied his
foster parents.
"Pa-pa, pa-pa, o-o-o, ye orter Been the
Injuns," he excitedly shrilled.
Til Injun you," declared Mr. Beeson,
as he thanked the police for taking care
of the boy for the third time In a week
"I won't do It again, papa; I won't do it
again," excitedly promised Georgie, as he
began to see visions of that promised
spanking. ' ,
"I know you won't," replied Mr. Bee
son. "I'm going to tie you up.'.
' Then the tears began to flow, and It
was only when pardon was granted that
Georgie began to grow enthusiastic again.
West Farnam Home
Scorched by Blaze
. Set by Small Boy
Small boys playing with matches in the
basement of the home of T. J. O'Brien,
proprietor of the Henshaw, caused a scare
In the West Farnam district at 8 o'clock
yesterday.' An alarm of fire was turned
in when smoke was seen Issuing from the
cellar .and when a battalion of fire fight
ers under Chief Simpson arrived the blaze
was extinguished with the aid of a chem
ical tank. .
Negro Given Beating

After having attacked Mrs. Mary Lund,

Mrs. Lund was on her way home and
had got as far as the alley between
Nineteenth and Twentieth on Webster
street when Jones seised her. Her
screams soon drew a crowd and the negro
was roughly handled. He told the police
he belonged to the 101-Ranch show.

101 RANCH SHOWS DRAWS BIG
Amphitheater Well Filled Both
Afternoon and Evening.
NEW FEATURES ARE PROVIDED
One of the Vnlqne Attractions is a
Herd of Texas Steers, Beasts
that Are Now Almost
Exinet.
Miller Bros. 101 Ranch wild west show
was seen for two performances In
Omaha yesterday, and the large, canopied
amphitheatre was well filled during both
afternoon and evening.
The show Is thoroughly characteristic
of the wooly west during the time the
cattle range 'thrived and the Indian
roamed over the vast plains. Miller Bros,
performance probably lacks the spirit,
confidence and aristocratic bearing of
the Colonel Cody exhibition, but It Is
nevertheless Interesting, principally In the
fact that It embraces new features. One
of these is the roundup of a "nerd ot
long horned Texas tattle, beasts that have
passed even more rapidly than the buf
falo. The steers are roped, thrown and
hog tied Just as they, were In the days
of the boundless plain. One ot these
animals, a bucking bovine that can give
the most terrible broncho pointers. Is
ridden by one ot Miller Bros, cow
punchers.
The entire performance consists of feats
of skilled horsemanship demonstrated not
only by cowboys and girls, but by Indians.
Mexicans and Cossacks. There is a real
istic stage hotdup to keep up the excite
ment, and other features are added to
depict what was supposed to be the
true west of a half century ago.
