GEORGE PARKS IS
NEW COUNCILMAN
South Side Contractor Elected to
Vacancy Caused by Death of
John Drexel.
TO TAKE STREET DEPARTMENT
ueorge larks, south side cop-
tractor, was elected to the vacancy
in the city council caused by the death
of John C. Drexel. Mr. Parks will be
assigned to the department of street
Cleaning and maintenance and will en
ter upon the duties of his office next
Tuesday when the council shall have
approved his bond.
Ihe commissioners were in execu
tive session about an hour before
there were enougli votes to elect Mr
Parks. Before beginning to ballot
the commissioners decided that they
would first make an effort to elect a
South Side man. Votes were taken
on George Parks, Thomas Hoctor, P,
J. Martin, B. J. Barrett. Joseph
Walker and Herman Bral, all of the
South Side. Candidates in Omaha
proper were not considered.
Never Held Office.
Mr. Parks is 58 years of age and
has resided in the South Side twenty
eight years. He never held public of
fice nor was he ever a candidate until
this occasion. During 1888 he was
sent from Chicago to South Omaha to
build the Armour-Cudahy packing
plant and thereafter made his resi
dence here. He built the Cudahy
plants in Kansas City and San rran
cisco and has had many paving con
tracts in the South Side. He is presi
dent of the National Construction
company, with offices in the Brandeis
building, i he new commissioner is
an Irishman, father of fourteen chil
dren and was married thirty years ago
He is a member of the Knights of Co
lumbus.
When the city council met at 10 a.
m. to take up the matter of filling
the commissioncrship vacancy H. C.
Murphy of the South Side and James
Walsh of Benson urged the council
to select a South Side man, because
such recognition would tend to ce
ment ,a closer feeling between the
merged communities. These, men
urged no particular candidate, but
contended that a South Side man
would be the logical choice at this
time. The only other speaker at
the open session of the council was
J. J. roye, who recommended I nom
as McGovern.
Hold Executive Session.
, The council then adjourned to
Commissioner Hummel' office,
where the executive session was held.
During the early morning there were
rumors that Dean' Noyes, general
foreman of the street department,
would be elected, and it was conced
ed that if a South Side man would be
named, Mr. Parks would be the
choice.
In the balloting Parks was the first
candidate. He received three votes
those of the mayor, Butler and With
nell right through until the break
came, when Hummel switched from
Martin and made the fourth and
necessary vote to elect Parks. Then
the commissioners made it unani
mous. Jardine stood out for Her
man Beals until he saw it was hope
less. When announcement was made in
the council chamber that George
Parks had been named Mr. Murphy
thanked the commissioners on behalf
of the South Side, saying, "Now the
marriage of Omaha and South Oma
ha has been consummated."
Commissioner-Elect Parks an
nounced he would make no changes
in the personnel of the street depart
ment and would seek counsel from
the other commissioners.
James and John Parks of the South
Side are brothers of the new commissioner.

Chicago, June 2. Sixteen prospec
tive votes tor- Justice Charles li.
Hughes in the republican convention
went by the board yesterday when the
national committee voted to seat the
Henry S. Jackson delegation of Geor
gia. The action was taken alter a
lively contest which lasietl more than
six hours and in which it was neces
sary to determine the personnel of
the Georgia slate senate committee.
The delegation representing the
"Walter H. Johnson wing" of the
partv in Georgia fought a stubborn
battle. Kach delegation came to Chi
cago uninstrurted, but it has been gen
erally understood that the Johnson
delegation was prepared to support
Justice Hughes while the Jackson
delegates were friendly to the candi
dacy oi Senator Root with John W.
Weeks of Massachusetts as second
choice.
Disposes of Seven Protests.
Previous to the consideration of the
Georgia case the committee disposed
of seven protests in Alabama, six reg
ular delegates-at-large being seated
while a protesting delegate from the
Ninth congressional district was re
turned a winner. The session of the
committee lasted from 10:JU a. m. un
til 8:30 p. m. without a recess, the
last six hours being occupied with
the Georgia case which involved the
entire delegation from that state.
The question involved in the contest
was one of control of the state organ
ization. The Johnson and Jackson
factions were together four years ago
and formed the 1 aft delegation which
was seated after a contest. When the
state central committee met this year
to issue a call for a state convention
there came a sharp disagreement over
the place of holding the convention
and the delegation was divided, each
holding a meeting and issuing a call
for a convention. Both state conven
tions were held and each, it was
claimed, was called by a majority of
the state central committee.
Many Affidavits Presented.
In the hearing of the contest today
scores of affidavits were presented,
many of them contradictory. After
two hours of argument Senator Smoot
declared that issue could be settled
only by determining which side really
had with it a majority of the state or
ganization. Delegates representing the faction
of National Committeeman Henry S.
Jackson had affidavits to prove con
trol and his delegates were seated
with only a few dissenting votes.
The determination of the committee
to dispose of the remainder of the
sixty-two contests early was made
manifest when at the conclusion of
the long session it was voted to start
tomorrow's session at 9 o'clock and
to continue without recess as was
done today.
The Louisiana contest involving
twelve delegates will be the first taken

New Rifle Range Near Ashland is
Now Ready for National Guard Uses
For the last three years Adjutant
.icneral Hall has allowed the federal
allotment known as "Promotion of
RinY Practice" lo accumulate for the
purpose of tinally consummating the
purchase of a ritle range for the Ne
braska National (iuard. This fund is
appropriated by congress and pro
rated to the National (iuard of the
1'nited Stales according to the num
ber of troops enlisted in each state.
The apportioiitucnl for Nebraska from
this fund has averaged about $7,000 a
year, becoming available July I of
each fiscal year,
The purchase of the rifle range con
stitutes the following conditions: Ap
proximately 500 acres were purchased
of Alex l.averty, $12,OV7; approxi
mately loO acres of K. J. Rose ol Ash
land, $7,021. To be purchased later as
these funds become available: From
F. J. Kose of Ashland, approximately
eighty-one acres, $4.0-48, and from C
S. Parmenter of Ashland, approxi
mately eighty-one acres at $2,10.1.
This land will be converted into a
permanent mobilization point and
state ritle range. Kitchens, latrines,
water mains, bath houses, etc., have
already been constructed and are
available for the troops, affording
sanitary camp facilities. The soil is of
sandy texture, permitting the troops
to continue shooting immediately
after a rain or during' wet weather.
I 'pon the return of the regulars from
the border to Fort Omaha and Fort
C rook this will be available to them
for ritle practice, the distance being
approximately thirty miles. It is cen
trally located fur the assembling of
the National (iuardr and affords ex
cellent camping facilities for the two
regiments of University cadets, as
well as the Omaha High school ca
dets, and it will probably be patron
ized by the troops of other states. The
range "in situated four miles northeast
of Ashland, and the Omaha-I.incoln-Ucnver
highway runs through the
lower part of the range. The Ne
braska National guard has been badly
handicapped in ritle practice, the most
important part of a soldier's duty to
his state and nation, due to the lack of
state funds to promote this course of
instruction. It is hoped thai with the
aid of the federal government in thi
matter the Nebraska National guard
will be given an opportunity to bring
itself to a high point of efficiency in
ritle practice.
The adjutant general is now work
ing on plans relative to paving the
roads in the vicinity of the reserva
tion, and is desirous of presenting to
our senators and congressmen the
proposition of securing federal appro
priations for a paved road from the
reservation, or ritle range, to Ashland,
for the purpose of facilitating and cut
ting down the cost of transportation
of troops.
