Celestials Give
Spenasey a Touch
of "Yellow Peril"
While Joe Bpenasey, living nt the Stato
hotel, was taking a walk on lower Doug
las street with a gentleman friend, he
suddenly felt pangs ot hunger and Invited
his companion to Join htm at tho Golden
Eagle restaurant, Twelfth and Douglas
streets, nnd partake of a bowl ot straw
berries and cream .
As they wero engaged In stowing away
this dollcacy, the sight of an "Honest
Japaneso Schoolboy" behind the counter
reminded Spenasey of that much mooted
California disturbance, and with a good
deal of eloquence he began a discourse on
tho subject.
"By gosh, thoao California falters are
all right. We don't wan't no lemon coated,
slant-eyed heathen owing our good Ameri
can soil.
'I wish wo had a law llko that In No-
braskc," remarked Joo to his friend, who,
busily engaged In reducing the straw
berry crop, nodded In assent.
"You bet If America and Japan ever
come to a ngnt i n ncip iick tne
Yellow Peril."
At this Juncture the "Honest Japanese
Schoolboy"' picked from the shelf a
"china" plate a quarter-Inch thick, and
gliding nimbly from behind the counter,
proceeded to demolish tho same upon the
unprotected domo of Spenasey's head
In the commotion that ensued, the
whole Japanese, educational system must
havo been dismissed, for a horde of "Hon
est Japanese Schoolboys" appeared on
the scene and practiced Jlu Jltsu, hart
karl and other native exercises, over and
around tho frame and features ot Spenasey.
Judge Altstadt dismissed Hughle Sing
and his brethren In police court this

BANKS SHOW JEALTHY GAIN
Big Increase in Deposits Over Same
Time One Year Ago.
GAIN OVER THE APRIL CALL
One Yrar Aro the Local Ilanks
Hurt Seven Million on Deposit
for Pnrchaae of the Omaha
Water WrU.
Omaha banks made a healthy gain In
deposits, according to figures given In
response to the call of the national comp
troller for business ending June 4. The
statements ' show that on June 14, 1912,
there was on deposit In the Omaha banks
f&8,!Kt,61S, as compared with 159,873,121 on
Juno 4 this year.
A smalt loss appears In the loans, but
It Is a very trifling amount. Bankers
consider the gain this year to be one ot
the greatest In the history ot the local
banking business, as last year at this
time there was on deposit over 17,000,000,
the proceeds of the water company sals
to the city ot Omaha. The deposits this
year show a gain with this amount
figured in last year's deposits, although
It was there but temporarily.
The country bank balances are low,
but despite this fact the banks show a
gain.
Following Is a table of present state
ment compared with deposits and loans
of the last call, April 4, and that of a
year ago:

Anyone In Liable to Fine tor Wnlk-
lnn on Any bat Beaten Paths
Says Law la Aimed at
Jefferson Square.
Jefferson square, goal of. tho footsore
and the weary, must ceaso to exist as a
loafing center and a rostrum for social
ists, free thinkers, anarchists and soap
box orators, Joe B, Hummel, park com
missioner, has ordained It and the city
commissioners have said that It will
be so.
Hummel Introduced an ordinance at the
meeting of the commission, making It a
misdemeanor for any person to recline
or. tho grassy carpet In any park, to
make speeches to his brethren gathered
there, or even to walk on tho earth In
said park along any but tho beaten paths
This ordinance refers to all parks under
the park commissioner's control, but
Hummel says It strikes at the conglom
erate crew which has enjoyed Jefferson
park so long that the memory of men
runneth not to tho contrary.
Further the ordlnanco provides for the
protection of boulevards, that beer
wagons, garbage vehicles and delivery
wagons propelled by exploding gasoline
drive not on boulevards or through parks
without permission of the park commis
sioner. "Times havo changed." said Hummel,
arguing for his ordinance. "Vehicles of
heavy make are now propelled by gaso
line and they mako free use of tho
boulevards. It Is time to stop It." Tho
council agreed and recommended the or
dlnatico for passage.
It la further provided In the ordinance
that drunken men be not permitted in
parks, that no games ot chance or any
business be transacted therein and that
patrons of tho parka bo required to sit
on benches provided for them and not
on the grass or the flower beds.
"That's for Jefferson square," said
Hummel when the clause referring to
drunken men and loafers was read by
tho chairman.
Autos are forbidden to travel at a rate
of speed greater than twelve mllqs an
hour on these boulevards. Hummel says
the boulevards are being all torn up by
heavy traffic. The commissioners ap
proved his ordinance after asking htm
if he hadn't left out something. The or
dinance wilt be placed on its first read
ing Tuesday morning.
