CURTAILING BOY'S LIBERTY
Concealed Motor Horn Assails tne
Joyous Right of the
Kids.
What Bhall be said of the Inhuman
motor car manufacturer who has recently
bucceoded In concealing the button which
sounds the motor car horn In such a ,way
that it cannot be pressed by the small
boy who hovers near? If this Invention
becomes universal, .consider what an ef
fect it Is bound to have upon the char
acter of this boyl And is not the Ameri
can small boy the hope of the natlonT
Time was when the activities of small
boys went out In the direction of steal
ing apples and watermelons; but owing
to the civilizing influence of the cities
and for other reasons, this source of Joy
this perfectly proper moral vent to
every small boy's nature has been
largely cut off. What might have hap
pened to him? How far In the Bcale of,
iuman progress this boy would naturally
have deteriorated, we cannot say.
But Jutt in the nick of time the motor

to sound the horn; and hus the spirit
of Invention that notable fount of wick.

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA
Lack of Discipline Charged in Fire
and Police Departments.
SHAKEUP IS LIKELY TO OCCUR
Contention that Officers aire Too
Much Attention to Politics nnd
Too Little to the Af fnlra of
the Public.
According to private statements made
by a member of the South Omaha fire
and polio board there is likely to be a
shako up In both fire and police depart
ments. The shakeup will be by reason of
the result of a lack of discipline, accord
ing to the board member.
Mayor Hoctor said he considered that
the testimony In the McKale-Hasburg'
charges was a revelation. He gave It as
his Impression that many of the men In
the departments had little or no respect
for authority.
"Why," said the mayor, "I believe there
are very few of the men who do not ex
pect to be raised to the rank of captains
when the appointments are made. There
are to be seven men appointed captains.
Among those who are said to b most
certain of their own appointment are
men who have served but a short time
In the department."
In the police department word has been
passed that there Is too little discipline.
Mayor Hoctor Is known to have begun
taking some observations on his own ac
count. The mayor believes that both
policemen and firemen should pay more
attention to their business, and less to
what they call politics.
The hearing on tne McKale-Hasburtr
charges still continues. It will probably
be some days before the matter has been
finally disposed of. Immediately follow
ing the McKale, comes the Hasburg trial.
It Is understood that the charges against
Hasburg may be dropped. This was ac
cording to an intimation given out yester
day by the chief.
To ISxtend Cfoss-Toirn Line.
Tne cross-town? street car line will be
extended to Forty-fourth street as con
tended for by Councilman Pat Lavelle and
other members of the city council. Mayor
Hoctor, who with the council and Lavelle
mado a rocent visit to the office of the
street railway company In Omaha fpr
the purpose of persuading the officials to
extend the line, received word yesterday
that tho extension would be made. Tho
extension has long been sought by the
residents In the western section of the
dtv.
The street railway officials finally con
sented to extend the viaduct line Over the
Burlington tracks at Thirty-ninth street
if tho structure proved strong enough to
carry cars. Engineers from the street
railway company examined the structure
nnd it is understood, passed favorably on
it The extension will be made at once
It will reach the city limits and open up
a street car line to Graceland Park ceme
tery.
To Tnllc Viaduct.
The Orchard Hill Improvement club.
which Is working for tho erection of a
viaduct at Forty-second and O streets,
will meet Friday night at Cassldy hall,
Forty-second and Q streets. The meeting
Is called that club members may meet
with General Manager Holdrege of the
Burlington, who will take up the matter
of erecting a new viaduct over the rail
road tracks at Forty-third street. The
residents of the west section of the city
have been working along, these, lines for
some time. The building of a viaduct
at this point will eventually open Up a
new thoroughfare to Omaha without go
Ing around by Twenty-fourth street This
will mean that many of the stock yards
and packing house men who live in tho
Hanscom park district of Omaha will be
able to come and go to their work with
out going over tho long route now trav
eled.
Agitation at Packing; House.
Labor agitators among packing house
men have begun again. There Is no son
eral movement, but a succession of small
revolts In different departments of the
packing houses. Among the butchers at
Cudahy's there has been moro or less
trouble recently. A few Weeks ago Mor
rls & Co., Is said to have had similar
annoyances In another department The
strikers never stay out long enough to
cripple the plants and there Is no union
among the men that would cause the
whole plant to walk out The temporary
differences are generally healed when the
leaders have discussed the matter with
the packing house heads.

BRAYE DEEDS BRING MEDALS
Twenty-Six Life-Saving Heroes Are
Decorated by United States.
HIGH DEGREES OF COURAGE
Members of Army nml Pfnvr nnd
Clrlllnns Shnre with Mfe-SrT-Inir
Service In Fcdernl
Aimrits.
Twenty-six medals for llve-savlnff alone
were awarded by tho United States In
1911 The awards covered not only the
life-saving service ns such, but Included
members of the army and navy of the
United States and civilians. So far as
the llfe-eaving servtco Is concerned, the
mere award of medals for extraordinary
service does not begin to tell the tale of
heroism performed almost dally as a
mero matter of routine duty. The be
stowal of a medal merely marks the de
gree of heroism beyond the demands ot
duty.
A struggls with a fellow soldier, crazed
by the Imminence ot death by drowning,
won sliver medals for Levi Anderson and
John R. Lyons, privates uf Troop U,
Tenth United Btntes cavalry, early in the
year. The men had gone to Mallett's bay
to give their cavalry horses a swim, when
Private John It Moody was thrown off
his horse in water fifteen feet deep.
Moody could not swim. Anderson and
Lyons threw themselves from their
mounts and swam to Moody's assistance.
Before they reached him, Moody sank,
but his apparently lifeless body was
brought to the surface when both res
cuers dived for It Upon reaching the top
of water, Moody secured a new lease on
life, and In the resulting battle In the
water all three men went to the bottom
twice. Final rescue was accomplished by
other men In a launch.
Brnvcry of n ltntteraa Snrfman.
Baxter B. Miller, a surfman at Cape
Hatteras life-saving station, received two
medals. The first was a gold medal for
services performed on an occasion ot
shipwreck, and the second, a sliver medal
for the nscuo of J. II. Dailey, who was
knocked overboard from a sloop upon
which Miller happened to be sailing. In
this Instance, Miller launched n, nine-foot
skiff from tho deck of tho vessel. As
soon as he entered it began to fill with
water. Balling and rowing at tho same
time, Miller finally reached Dalley nftcr
the latter had sunk for tho last time.
Thrusting his oar Into the water. Miller
readied tho body, and Dally uncon
sciously grasped It and was hauled to the
surface. Regardless of all danger, Miller
promptly applied restorative measures,
and then busied himself with keeping his
little craft afloat The one man left upon
the sloop finally manused to bring it
about and picked up both men. Tho slse
of the skiff, Its unseaworthiness, and the
probability that tho sloop could not re
turn to the scene of tho action, deter
mined the government to reward Miller &
second time.
For the rescue of the crew of the Ger
man steamer Brewster, wrecked on tho
inner Diamond shoal, on the coast of
North Carolina, E. H. Peel, keeper of the
Creed's Hill life-saving station, not only
received a silver watch Inscribed with
the imperial eagle of Germany, but also
a gold medal from his own government
When the wreck was discovered, tho seas
were already sweeping it from end to
end. On . the way to the scene, the
Creod's Hill lifeboat was so badly dam
aged by the waves that tho crew had to
bo transferred In the midst of nrttvy seas
to the Cape Hatteras boats. When the
wreck was reached, a buoy floated from
the ship was caught by the life-savers,
a line made fast, and twenty -eight of the
crew of thirty-three men taken iff the
Brewster in the midst nf tho ru&fng
waters. The return to shore in the face
ot the increasing gale with fifty-three
porsohs In two lifeboats Is ample evi
dence ot the courage and seamanship
which won Peel .his watch and medal
and which resulted In medals and money

Bravery of a Filipino.
A Filipino, Cornello Casldsld, sergeant
of the Forty-eighth company of Philip
pine Scouts, received his gold medal for
conspicuous bravery In the watr In
March, 1911. A native craft, called o.
lorcha, containing twenty M&ndayans,
capsized off Mindanao, The army launch
ran in within fifty yards of the accidont,
and many ot tho soldiers swam 30) yards
to the shore in order to lighten the load
and permit the launch to get closer, to
make way for the rescued. Casldsld
swam to the lorcha, and made several
return trips, each time bringing u native
on his back. One native who attempted
to mako the trip alone sank, and the
Filipino sergeant rescued him by diving,
finally having to call for assistance, be
cause he could make no headway against
the current with an extra' body on his
hands. As a further con:-lbutlon to his
heroic record on that occasion, CaMdrid
took a line to the lorcha, upon which tho
remaining natives passed nand over hand

Reminded uf Charleston Cyclone.
A reminder of the cyolono In the har
bor ot Charleston, 8. C, In 1SS&, Is found
in the stiver medal Just awarded to Ed
ward T. Burdelj of that city. The wind
caused a small tidal wave, which Inun
dated part of Sullivan's Island, upon
which BurdeH rosided. During the storm
Ilurdell discovered a house In which flvo
women had taken refuge, which tha
waves threatened to sweep from Its foun
dations and tnko out to scov four times
Burdell waded and swam the hundred
yards between the house and dry land,
and on each of the first three trips he
brought In a woman. The Inst trip he
found the house' had been washed away,
and" succeeded In rescuing both the re
malnlng women, struggling in the water,
and brought them to shore. The res
cued then had to turn their attention to
their rescuer, who was completely over
come by his exertions.
Vnanirent a Pttarteon-Year.OId, IJoy.
The youngest medalist In 1912 was
Samuel S. Smith, Jr., of Savannah, Qa.
a R.year-old boy. . His feat was th
rescue of Mary Morrison, a little girl
who was swept out to sea while bathing
at Tybee Island, da. Grown persons
struggling to reach the girl through the
surf failed In their efforts, but Smith,
who had run 300 yards before reaching
the scene of the action, and who was
himself only a fair swimmer at best,
sprang into the water, struggled to break
the grasp of the girl, who was freniied
by the danger which confronted her, and
finally succeeded In bringing her to shoro.
Physicians worked harder to restore the
rescuer than the rescued.
These are only a tew of the bright
instances of self-sacrifice whloh come to
the attention of tho life saving servlco
annually. Fortunately, the government
has adopted the broad policy of encour
aging heroism among civilians, as well
as among Its own employes. New York

Harry B. Zlmman, leader ot the anti-gas
franchise forces In the rocent campaign,
has repudiated the association, In so far
as recall petitions being circulated by
members of the organisation against tho
soven city commissioners are concerned.
"X do not apprqve of the rocall peti
tions," said Zlmman; "we accomplished.
the task wo set ourselves to do In the
beginning, and the best thing to do how
Is to let the matter drop. It wrs a dif
ference of opinion and the majority ot
the voters believed wo had tho best ot
it-and that's about all thero Is to It."
Rumors that Zlmman Instigated tho re
call in the hope to be placed on tho city
commission were Indignantly denied by
lUm. Ho sold ho would not accept a city
commlsoionorship now It It was within
Ills reach.
O Temporal O Mores I
In the evolution ot things, when man
becomes the housekeeper, he probably
will:
Discharge the cook becauso she cannot
make sweetbreads for tea.
Fry dahlia bubls for sweet potatoes
Coorlce In the corn popper.
Let the furnace (Ire go out four times
a week.
Forget the tap and waste all the soft
water,
Split kindling wood for tho first time
in his life.
Spoil tho shape of the baby's mouth
with a pacifier.
Kick because his wife stopped to see
a man and Is ten minutes late tor din
ner. Cry when he Is abused for not making
apple dumplings like his father made.
Oo home to mother when wl(s, the
brutel says the soup is burned and It
isn't, so there I Judge.
