BOARD INSISTS ORDER GOES
Ure Talks on City '
Finances to Omaha
Real Estate Men
City and County Treasurer W. O. Ure
talked to the Real Estate exchange at
Its weekly meeting on the financial con
dition of the city, arguing with W. H.
Green and W. T. Graham on plans of
fered for the city to make money on the
Idle funds In the treasury.
Ure said tho city has "money to burn"
from time to time, but not all of it was
available for Investment In city improve
ment warrants and short time paper. He
said the new charter should arrange the
treasury department according to true
commission form plans, allowing one de
partment to carry warrants of the. other
departments.

Offender Solemnly Wnrned Thnt
Some Day Someone Will no
Punished If ttir I-avr t
Not Obeyed.
It looked like a draw yesterday's trial
before the Fire and Police commission of
South Omaha of tho five solooumon ao
cused of breaking the liquor laws. Ex
cept for a little extra oratory on tho
part of different members of the board,
It was the old program. The police made
tho acousatlons and produced certain
evidence. The attorneys sparred. Tho
accused saloonmen, as usual, accounted
for being In their places of business on
Sunday by pleading that they or their
bartenders were merely cleaning up.
The board adjourned after solemnly tak
ing the cases under advisement.
City Attorney Henry C. Murphy, act
ing for the board, declared that while
tho order of the board had been pub
lished, It was quite possible that in some
cases at least the meaning of tho order
had not been fully realized. Ho said
the old worn out plea of cleaning up
would not hereafter be accepted as an
excuse for opening saloons on Sunday.
Mayor Hoctor insisted that tho board
meant to keep the saloons closed, and
that the sooner tho saloonmen realized
thnt the order would stand, the better it
would be.
Commissioner W. J. Donahue took spe
cial interest In the trial. He personally
caught one of the accused saloonmen
running out of hours It Is said. So far
the slot machines and gambling are said
to be still doing business without hin
drance. Muslcale by School Children.
Under the leadership of Prof. R. H.

Thursday night. The effort will be tho
first of its kind ever had In South
Omaha. Former Supervisor of Music
Mlssx Eunice Ensor, and the present su
pervisor, Miss Emma Dlckman. havo
worked to train tho ch.ll.dren In differ
ent classes. The final result will ap
pear at the first muslcale. Prof. John
son who is at the head of the orchestra
has developed the Instrumental side of
tho program to a very high degree. 11
is expected that a large crowd will be
present at tho muslcale as the tickets are
free.

Recommendation that the Board of

feeding prisoner. In the county jail from
February 6 to March. 1, at the rate of GO
cents a day, Is mode In a report by Com
missioner Best, chairman of the finance

Mr. Best bases his opinion on the
ground that smoe the supreme court de
clared that part of the act of the legis
lature of 1907 which allowed Douglas
county to advertise for bids for feeding
prisoners unconstitutional, the remainder
of the act allowing sheriffs to charge SO
cents a day is also unconstitutional be
cause the latter provision was put in as
a concession to members from out In
the state to secure passage of the bill.
Other members of the board have de
clared their Intention not to pay the al
leged exorbitant claims of Sheriff Mo
Bhane unless they are forced to by tha

Auto Tire Company
Makes Cut in Price
Owners of pleasure cars and motor
trucks will welcome the Joyous tidings
from Akron, O. The Goodrich Tire com
pany is responsible for the joy. Its new
price announcement, coming at it does
from so dominant a factor In the tlra
field, has led to speculation as to whether
other tire companies will follow the Good
rich lead,
"No explanation or reasons whV are
given In this announcement." ald a
prominent tire man. "But with crude
rubber selling at a somewhat lower flKUre
than that prevailing for a year or more
past, and the constant devising and ap
plication of new higher efficiency methods
of tire manufacture, the reduced Good
rich tire prices are but a natural outcome."
