STREET CAR MEN
WATCHAUTOISTS
Motormen and Conductors Will
Take Numbers of A itomo-,
biles Violating Laws.
SEVENTEEN FACE JUDGE
The latest move in the campaign to
curb reckless automobile driving and
particularly the custom of passing a
street car while it is standing still,
will go into effect Friday, when Chief
Dunn will request R. A. Leusslcr,
general manager f the street railway
company, to instruct all motormen
and conductors to take the license
numbers ot any automobiles which
violate traffic ordinances, particularly
in passing stationary street cars.
Mr. Lcussler, when questioned as to
the attitude of the street car company,
expressed a willingness to co-operate
with the police in any way possible
to make Omaha streets safer. Mr.
Leussler said: "Such instructions
would cost us money, for we have to
pay our men for the time they are in
court testifying, but we are willing to
spend this money for the good of the
'safety first' movement which we are
fostering as far as possible."
Motormen and conductors will take
the numbers of all offending drivers,
turn them over to the police, who will
discover the names of the owners of
the machines and summon them to
court, where the street car men will
testify as to the circumstances.
Four Speeders Fined.
Four speeders were fined $5 and
costs, two guilty of passing a street
car were fined $2.50 and costs each.
and eight men were fined $1 and costs
for violations of the boulevard and
lighting ordinances. Only three were
discharged. Of the seventeen cases
three rceived suspended sentences,
and these were all for violations of
the boulevard ordinance.
The speeders were: Frank Evers,
4123 North Twenty-second street;
Carl Fellows, 402 South Thirty-
eighth; Georga Newcomb, Omaha
Xaxi driver, and J. J. singer, jyiy
Farnam street. Those who paid $2.50
and costs for passing street cars were
J. H. Davis, Fontenelle hotel, and
Charles Henderson, 3328 South Twenty-fourth
street.

i
It was 5 o'clock by the most offi

Omaha People are En
titled to the Best Cream
fir A few days ago a gentleman returning from
Jj his vacation came in stating: "Lordyl You ought
to have seen the cream ! had on the farm."
affl Te reP'v we gave hm w "We have as good
jj cream as any farmer could have on hi farm."
He tried the cream we gave him and the next day
reported that it was everything that one could desire
in cream, and immediately gave us his standing order.
T A half-pint of good cream cannot be sold at the
price of good milk because it takes almost a
quart and a half of milk to make a half -pint of cream.
Therefore we recommend our "Special Jersey Brand
Cream" at 10 cents a half pint, or our "XX Excep
tional Cream" at 15 cents per half pint Either brand
will whip.
f The body of the cream will not always be a true
test of its quality. Try it in your coffee when t
you are making comparisons and note the color and
flavor.
