Mayor Proclaims Today as a Holiday ' Mayor Dahiman has issued a proclama tion' in which he declares this after noon in Omaha a holiday, that all may witness the floral automobile parade. PROCLAMATION. On Tuesday afternoon the citizens of Omaha and Ak-Sar-Ben visitors will view ,tbe automobile parade. In order to make the automobile parade, in which nearly one hundred automobiles will pass through our principal streets, an 'Omaha success" I earnestly request that i every store, office, business house, shop and factory in Omaha be closed on Tues day from 1 to 4 p. m. ' Also that all public offices be closed during the same hours so that every man, woman and child may view it's beauty from our streets as it paBses by. I, therefore, declare Tuesday afternoon, October 1, a publio holiday. . JAMES C. DAHLMAN. ,; ' -. . - Mayor. School Lads Use Umbrellas in Pra&icing on the Field VENERABLE CITIZEN SUCCUMBS TO PARALYSIS. Pupils In the publio schools, practicing in the usual fall athletic training con tests, have been forced to Invent some means of avoiding the unpleasant and persistent attentions of Rt Hon. J. Pluvius and for the last week have struck upon a spectacular plan for per forming the high Jumps, broad Jumps, pole vaults, hurdles and races. They formed umbrella brigades.' Strong ribbed umbrellas were used, the boy trained in the proper way to handle it in running or Jumping and then the con tests went on. Some of the heavy-weight young ath letes have broken records with the aid of little puffs of wind that caught the umbrellas and lifted them clear of the ground without any effort on their part. At Saunders school it Is said one of the ohamplons, who weighs fifty-nine pounds, was carried off the campus by his um brella and the entire brigade would have been blown with him had they also clung to the umbrellas. Principals of schools, while glorying in the records their athletes are liable to make under the new system, have issued warnings and point with grave concern to the dangers that might attend this fown of sport should it become universal. It might, in fact, be developed, to such an extent that college athletes would in reality, become expert airmen. But think of the damage that might result it the ribs of an umbrella broke while an ath lete was 100 feet in the air, just clearing the bar. There is no doubt about the success of umbrella base ball, for a well trained base runner could steal bases in a noise less and marvelous manner and by pull ing himself up in the air quickly could assist the batter in batting at least .500. In foot ball school principals fear the umbrella plan can not be applied. The necessity of close formations would pre vent the untrammeled ' use of the arms and the loving desire of players to meet each other quickly and Informally would render the umbrella an unbearable nui sance. . Burglar Operates With Heavy Wagon f Solomon Lacke, 1614 Cass street, has 'found a real nervy burglar in Omaha. Frl- day a colored man drove up to a furnished . house, owned by Lacke at 1516 Burt street with a heavy wagon. He 'hitched his horse outside while he went in, stole two stoves, " one bureau, two commodes, one table and two rocking chairs. Lacke re ported the, matter to the police, but could give no description of the negro, BENSON WANTS QMAHa TO - HELP GET CAR EXTENSIONS Two petitions sighed by practically all the residents of Benson were presented to the city council today, asking for help in compelling the street car company to ex tend the Benson line to the Mt. Hope cemetery. Members of Benson appeared in person to urge action by the council. Commis sioner Ryder said there were several ex tensions neened in Omaha and he would have to investigate before recommending any action upon the petitions. Accordingly the council postponed ac tion and will go to Benson this week or arly next week and inspect' the pro tosed extension. . "7 HYMENEAL. ' - I Crou-Prtenmi, Miss Edna B.

' ALLOWED TO HOLD COMMISSION Authoritative Statement leaned by Rev. Edgar D. Clark, Moderator of the Governing Body of the Church, The Rev, F. R. Wedge and the Kearney presbytery have adjusted their diffi culties, according to the following state ment of the oase sent to The Bee by Rev, Edgar D. Clark of the Lexington Presby terian church, also moderator of the pres bytery: " ' Rev. F. R Wedge, until recently the pastor , ff the Pres.;';erian church ot Genoa, Neo., has gotten a great deal of newspaper notoriety durlmr the last few months. He was formerly a prize fighter, was converted and oecanie a rrcsby terlan minister and has held several short pastorates and worked in a mission in San Francisco for a time. While pastor at Oenoa he became involved in a church quarrel in which he was, for the most part at least, In the right. Last January he gave a Genoa lawyer a thrashing. Under great provocation, though, as he himself admits, it was not becoming a minister of the gospel. A few months later he was obliged to give up his pas? tbrate, and, thinking that he had been unfairly treated, he defied the presbytery and felt very bitter toward sojiie of Its members. As he was without income to support his family, in August he ac cepted a position as trainer for Battling Nelson in St. Joseph, Mo. tin was summoned to appear before a judicial commission of Kearney presby tery Tuesday, September 24. in Grand island for trial. Here he was cleared or the charge of drunkenness, but plead guilty to the other two charges, viz: (1) "insubordination to the authority ot the presbytery." (2) "Acts of violence in congruous with the spirit of meekness and forbearance which should char acterize a minister of the gospel, which acts of violence have broughtreproach upon the church." As Mr. Wedge showed a spirit of sincere repentence, he iras admonished and put under certain re strictions for one year, but was allowed to continue in his office and work as s minister of the gospel. He is at present working in a mission in Lincoln. The following statement is made for publica tion over his name by Mr. Wedge: "I, Rev. F. R. Wedge, realizing that false impressions have goue abroad concerning the Justice of the treatment accorded me by Kearney presbytery, I desire hereby to completely exonerate said presbytery from any, suspicion of Injustice and to state that I believe the presbytery has had ray very beBt Interests at heart and In connection with my case lias done all things in harmony with the laws of the church and the spirit of Jesus Christ." Poultry Show Will Open Here Tuesday The United Fanciers' show of poultry and dogs and cats is to open Tuesday. The uniform coops that were to oome from Milwaukee were delayed in ship ment by the railroad company and did not get here in time for the opening of the show Monday, as was scheduled. A. great deal of poultry in the coops and crates in which It was shipped stood about the floor in, the Auditorium wait ing for the uniform coops before It could be put into place. Because the entrance fee this year is three times as high as It has ever been before It is said the class of exhibits will be much better than ever before, as only those who are con fident of having the finest In their class will pay the entrance fee. In spite of the fee, however, there will be a large exhibit, as is evidenced by the great number of fowls already on hand. Exhibits will be here from practically half the states of the union. . . ., PINKERTON LAUGHS AT TALE Says He Does Not Believe Any of the Bank Bobbers Are Here. RINGLEADERS ARE IN THE TOILS Says that If Any Were Soepeeted of ' Betas' In This City He Would Have Been Advised of the Fact. WYOMING ENDS SEASON WITH SOME BIG CROPS D. Clem Deaver of the Burlington's homeseeking department Is .back from an extended trip through the Big Horn basin country and says the Wyoming farmers have raised the best general crop In the history of the state. Several heavy and killing frosts have visited the basin coun try during the last ten days, but have' done no material damage. ' Some fields of late oats were caught,' but was quickly harvested and, will be used for fodder. . W. A. Plnkerton of the Plnkerton De tective agency of Chicago, while at the Loyal hotel in Omaha said if it were true that any of the Canadian bonk robbers were believed to be in Omaha, as has been reported through the dispatches from Chicago, he had not been advised of it and he did not believe there was any truth in the rumor. ' "That is a wild, rumor," said Mr. Pink erton. If any of that gang were suspected of being in Omaha I would surely be so advised from headquarters at Chicago, and I have not been advised. Someone has been making a mountain, out of a molehill." The robbers referred to are those who robbed the. Bank of Montreal af New Westminster, B. C, where they seouied $272,000. "The story to the effect that JUO.O0O of that money is now In the hands of one of the gang In Chicago," said Mr. Plnkerton, "does not sound at all reasonable. ' -, ' .. t Leaders Caught. "The leader of the gang, John Mo Namara, was arrested in New Tork. The next best man in the gang, Charles Dean, alias "Hoffman," was arrested in Los Angeles and other prominent members of the gang have been taken. It Is not at all likely that these leaders would . let one of the dubs run around Chicago with, $140,000 of the money flashing it here and there in an effort to get It changed." "That money Is no more good to the fellows at large than confederate money would be," said Mr. Plnkerton. "Most of the money was in the shape of new bills and we have a record of the num ber of every bill they got. Just the minute they attempt to pass a bill they take a chance of a term in the peni tentiary." Mr. Plnkerton said his visit to Omaha had nothing to do with this affair at all, as he has merely been at St. Louis and topped here for a few hours on some other business. Redskin Callers Are Guests of The Bee Colonel . Bill McCune and a distln gulshed assortment of Indians connected with the Frontier Hay shows paid a pleasant call to The Bee office yesterday.
