1U THOUSANDS PASS OMAM CORMERS Groh Brushes Up on Arithmetic and Counts 13,080 Passing Farnam and Sixteenth in One Hour. By A. R. GROH. How many people, do you think, ptts the corner of Sixteenth and Far nam streets in an hour on a busy aft ernoon? Make a guess before you read any farther. Several guesses that I asked fur ranged from 3,000 to 10,000. I stood at Sixteenth and Farnam Mreets and counted the people one bright Saturday afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock and found that 13,680 pass there in an hour. This includes only pedestrians. It takes no account of those who passed in . street cars, automobiles and other vehicles. I stood first on the northwest cor ner and counted for three minutes the number of persons going .north and south. 1 found that 113 passed every minute. Next I counted those going north and south on the east side of the street and they were forty-one per minute. On the north, side of the street, going east and west, they av eraged only twenty-four a minute and on the south side, going east and west, they averaged forty a minute. Total per minute is 218. Multiply that by sixty minutes and you get 13,0801 Harney Busy, Too. At Sixteenth and Harney streets a careful count showed that 7,680 peo ple pass there in an hour on a bright Saturday afternoon. Almost exactly half of these pass along the west side of the street going north and south, the count in front of the Burgess Xash store being sixty-four per min ute. A block farther south, in front of Green's pharmacy, there were only twenty-two per minute, going north nd south. Another very busy place is Six ain th and Douclas streets, where, on the west side of the street, 102 people were moving north andsouth each minute, or 6J20 per hour. Crossing the alley between the Erandeis and Hayden's stores were ninrtv.fniir nr minute 'or .5 640 ner hour. ; Passing along the south side of iJouelas street between hitieentli and Sixteenth streets were forty-four per minute, or 2,640 per hour. Mayor is Spotted. ' At Fourteenth and Farnam streets 1 iound fifteen ncoolc moving east and west along the north side of the street and forty-one per minute (in eluding Mayor Dahlman) along the south side of the street. The crowds kseD in the shade in summer as much as possible. The count showed about twice as many on the snaay suie ot the street as on the sunny side. The crowd is extremely volatile. The least excitement throws the steady stream out pf gear. A parade came along Fourteenth street and the flow, of pedestrians parade-ward im mediately increased while the flow way from the parade almost ceased. I counted the crowd again at 7:30 o'clock in the evening. At Sixteenth and Farnam streets, where I had found 113 per minute going north and south on the west side of the street on Saturday afternoon, there were only seventeen per minute on Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. Crossing Douglas street on the west side of the street there wete only seventeen per minute, compared with 102 per min. ute at 2:30 p. m. on Saturday. Witnesses Tell How Faier ' Evaded Payment of Bills R. S. Schreibcr, Chicago liquor deal er, told in federal court how he tried to collect bill of $85 from Max Y. Faier, who is on trial charged with using the mails to defraud. Scnreiber had shipped the goods to Faier who operated as the Missouri Fish and Oyster company. Failing to get payment, Schreibcr came to Oma ha and looked ur the firm with the imposing name. The address'was 2430 Franklin street,, a small, one-story frame dwelling. "The first time I called they told me he wasn'tMiome, but I saw him peep out from behind the curtain at a window," said Schreibcr. "The next time he was in the kitchen, but they told me he wasn't there. Finally I saw him and he called me vile names and threatened to throw me out of the house." n , Other witnesses testified that Faier would order large quanities of fish and enclose a check with the order. The check was usually for some large and impressive sum, The recipients of these checks supposed they had been enclosed by' mistake and would ship the order and return the check. But, they testified, no check was forthcom ing thereafter to pay for the order shipped. . Rnvpor Strilpc- Hi I Pfl! Sues for $1 00,000 Damages HenryD. Stewart filed suit in fed eral court asking $100,000 damages from the Wabash Railroad company because of injuries lie Received No vember 15, 1916. He was a switch man and engine foreman in the yards at Council Bluffs. He alleges that a defective switch caused a box car to jump the track and strike him in such a manner that his "left leg, groin and abdomen and the flesh, ligaments, tendons, nerves and all parts thereof and thereabouts were crushed, mang led, torn, bruised, separated, black ened, mashed, crushed and injured. He states that he will never be able to do any work because of the injuries sustained. He underwent three operations in three hospitals. Eighty Years Old, but Still Active Enough for Jury Jnos Stevens, 80 years old, is on the federal jury trying Max Y. Faier on a charge of using the, mails in a scheme to defraud. Frank S. Howell, attorney for Faier, inquired of Mr. Stevens whether lie "had enlisted yet." " "No,- I haven't," said Stevens, "but I feel good enough to do it." v Lumbago. " Whep you have a lame back orn attack of lumbago, dampen a piece of flannel with Chamberlain's Lini ment and bind it onto your back over the scat of pain. J. If. Wood, Chi cago, writes: "Some time ago while at Waukon. Iowa, I suffered a very se vere attack of lumbago and used Chamberlain's Liniment with excel lent results." Advertisement. ARTHUR SUIT IS LAUGH PROVIDER Husband Says He "Washed Dishes and Swept House" in Divorce Proceedings Be fore Judge Leslie. Laughs aplenty were provided for a large crowd of spectators in divorce court, Judge Leslie presiding, 'yester day morning in the Arthur suit. Some of the testimony of Tohn G Arthur, aged Omaha lawyer, suing Dr. Mattie L. Arthur, well known Omaha physician", for his matrimonial freedom, set the crowd in a roar and brought smiles from court room at taches. Mr. Arthur, who alleged his doctor- wife stripped him of his worldly goods and thrust him out into a cold world to shift for himself," is living at the Mouse of Hope, Horence. Dr. Arthur is bitterly contesting the suit, she seeks a decree herself in an answer and cross-petition. She alleges her husband for years has been a liehtweizht as a home nro vider and a wage earner. At the best she says he "isn't much of a lawyer." x Quizz Husband's Deals. Dr. Arthur's attorneys spent consid erable time quizzing the husband as to how he put in his time the last ten vears. ' He said he had "nut over" several big real estate deals, but his wife al leges whatever he put over was with her property. vVhat have you been doing the lajt five years before you became an in mate of the House of Hope?" intcrro Bated Dr. Arthur's counsel. "Well," replied Mr. Arthur, "I worked under the doctor's orders at our home, 1333 South Thirty-third street. "What do you mean 'worked?'" asked the cross-examiner. Washed Dishes. "I washed dishes, swept the house, made gardens, answered the telephone and other things," shot back the hus band. "Did you ever raise chickens and then try to sell the eggs to your wife? he was asked. "I raised chickens, all right. When someone rented the house I insisted on them paving for the esses. ' "My wife told me she would like to get rid of both me and the chick ens." ' Dr. Arthur's attorneys asked Mr. Arthur about his "investments," which his wife alleges -were made with her mdfley. He testified lie owned stock in a New Jersey corporation, which he said paid dividends in stock only; stock in a Texas ranch' company, which never paid any dividends, and other stocks. As each item was enumerated Mr. Arthur would offer to sell the stock to Dr. Arthur's attorney, Frank Ran som, for some small sum, "Ncjt in the real estate or Texas land busi ness," snapped the attorney. A motion bv Attorney Ransom that the case be dismissed because of lack. of corroborative evidence was taken under advisement by Judge Leslie. Hummel Requests $8,000 More for Recreation Work City Commissioner 'Hummel.' as chairman of the Board of Public Rec reation, presented to the city cbuncil a detailed statement to sustain a re quest that $8,000 should be appro priated toward the recreation fund which was cut $12,000 when the 1917 budget was fixed. Mr. Hummel cited the new swim ming pool in Morton park, increased territory and new playground activi ties in his argument for the emergency appropriation. He gave notice that the recreation activities would have to be curtailed unless the recreation fund should be increased. The matter was referred to the oub- lic affairs, department for investiga tion.
