Humane Society Has
Successful Meeting
Draft New Ordinance
Aa a result of the Humane society
meeting held at Jacobs' hall, a commit
tee was appointed to take any steps it
deems necessary in providing for the
comfort of domestic animals. Among the
movements now afoot is an ordinance
stipulating barn facilities that will give
a horse better chance to get out In caso
of a fire. The city legal department is
co-operating in drafting the law and It
will likely be presented at an early
meeting of the commissioners.
Humane Officer Nellson reported that
during the last year seventy-eight horses
were put out of misery.
Suggestions made at the meeting were
that a pan of drinking water be placed
in all yards fur birds; that a donation
In the way of free pasture for faithful
horses, past actual service, be solicited:
that housekeepers be urged to bunch
thrtr orders when sending for anything
to be delivered and so save horses un
necessary trips and that every locality
In the state be encouraged to organise
a Humana society.

Treasurer P. J. Martin redeemed hla
election promise yesterday when he an
nounced that he would place $100,000 of
the .people's money on deposit at 4 per
cent Instead of 2 per cent. The order
goes Into effect Monday when the $100,000
Is distributed among the different banks
of the city- By the new arrangements
Treasurer Martin Increases the. navlng of
Interest to the city by $2,000. The placing
of the money on 4 per cent deposit means
a saving of an amount that will equal
the salary of the treasurer. It means
that through the thrift of Treasurer Mar
tin the $2,0U) of interest that did not reach
the pockets of the taxpayers will now
come to them. Within tho next few
weeks Treasurer Martin expect to In
crease tho 4 per cent deposit by 0,000
additional, malting a total of $150,000 draw
ing 4 per cent for the taxpayers, or a
total sum of $6,000, as against 2 per cent,
the old rate.
It took considerable wcrk on the part
of the treasurer and his assistants to
select the different funds that might bo
deposited for six mnnth or a year with
out Interference. The statement shown
that the treasurer had on hand June 1
$140,825. Deporltrd in hanks woa $110,790.
A sinking fund of $290,000 for payment of
certain paving and grading districts has
been lying In bank for months drawing
only 2 per cent. When Treasurer Martin
undertook to place the money at 4 per
cent Interest he discovered that $190,000
was tied up in litigation. The remaining
$100,000 will be placed on 4 per cen Mon
day and JCO.OOO more us soon as tho court
settles litigation affecting that amount.
War on Uamullnv Machines.
South Omaha has 110 gambling ma
chines in operation in saloons, pool halls
and other buildings and the Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners knows it.
Former Justice of tho i'eaco P. C. Cald
well served notice upon the board that un
less' these gambling devices are abolished
in South Omaha the members of the
board ahall be considered as falling, ro-
fixing or neglecting to enforce the law.
The notice threatens further legal pro
ceedings to enforce the law. According
to those who are behind the move to
stamp out the slot machine evil In South
Omaha, the threat means ouster proceed
ings.
It Is understood that at least one demo
cratic, county official has refused to lend
any promise of succor to the gambling
machine owners. A very high state offi
cial when approached on the matter la
said to have curtly told the "feeler" that
he would lend his best assistance to any
measure that would tend to bring about
tho enforcement of law In South Omaha
or any place else. This waa not tho an
swer expected from the "very high offi
cial" and the questioner Is said to have
subsided suddenly.
In his notice to the board, Judge Cald
well says that minors and Intoxicated
persona ore permitted to gamble away
their money with Impunity. Judge Cald
well Is a constable and his dally business
calls him to every part of the city. He
says there are forty-seven "nlckel-ln-the-
lot machines' and sixty-nine other ma
chines, all gambling devices, In operation
When the word got out yesterday that
the newspapers "were making a holler"
about the machines, certain wary saloon
keepers and pool hall operators quickly
covered up their machines. It la probable
that all the machines in prominent places
will be covered up or even a few removed
to satisfy the public, but they will run,
as they have done in the past. A few
days prior to tho opening of the recent
campaign the slot machine operators are
said to have "stood for" a temporary
shutdown. But they opened ui with re
iiewed vigor almost immediately after,
Boys Play Them,
It is claimed that boys under age and
men under the Influence of liquor are al
lowed to play the machines which are
said to be owned by Roscoe Ilawley and
Jake' Rothschild, The machines are placed
In saloons, pool halls and other places
nnd operated on shares, part going to
the keeper of the saloons or pool hall
and the rest to the owners or operators,
Always the laboring man who works for
anything from IS to 20 cents an hour
pays and his wife and children suffer,
How strong the machine operators are
has been shown time after time when
men were arrested for putting slugs In
the machines or for starting a row after
they had failed to make the machlno
"cough." An ordinance was drawn by
City Attorney Henry Murphy and passed
by the former city council doing away
with all slot machines, gum machines
and other forms of gambling. His honor,
Mayor Hoctor, vetoed the measure be
cause of an alleged technical error In the
ordinance.
A number of clergymen and business
men of the city are opposed ,to the
gambling or slot machines. If anything
they are opposed to the slot machines
more than anything else, because they
get the pennies and nickels of the very
poor man.
