RUNAWAY LADS UNDER ARREST.
Charge of IncOrrigibiIity Preferred
Against Both BOys.

Freddie Morrow, white boy years of
age, and Willie Tate, alias Willie Taylor
a colored boy IL years of age were
arrested yesterday morning on the
charge of incorrigibility. They ran away
from their homes at Thirteenth and Grace
streets several days ago. but report of their
absence was not made until today.
The Morrow boy has not been in jail be-
FORE but the Tate lad has been arrested
several times. He is incorrigible probably
more from force of circumstances than any
thing else. He is the son of Don Taylor
whose wife was murdered in this city some
six years ago. The murder, from the time
that the woman's mutilated body was found
mystery. although a number of men were
arrested on suspicion OF knowing something
about the crime.
After the murder Taylor, the husband,
left the city and left his two children, one OF
them the boy under arrest. In charge of
colored woman, who abused them frequently
One instance of the cruelty is on record in
police court Because the boy would not
obey her, the guardian one day placed him
on q red-hot stove, burning him fearfully.
The lad still bears the scars. The woman
was arrested but has since disappeared from
view.
The incorrgibllity OF the lad was In all
probability produced by this abuse He con-
tInued to be %ayward after the return of
his father to this city. The father married
again and Is now living near Thirteenth and
Grace streets. where his children reside with
him.

League Favors the Site at the Foot of
Fnrnam street.


| Fnrnam street.
| The Union Depot league met in the Office
| of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company
| yesterday morning for the purpose of con.
| sulting with the officials of the company with
| view of having the proposed depot at the
foot Of Farnam street reduced to size suit
able for three railroads, with the cost at q
figure which would allow of rental being
charged each road which will not be
prohibitive.
The members of the league present were
Dr. George l.. Miller, G. w. Doane, A.
Hospe jr., Harry Eastman, r. w. Phelps,
]. IL. Dumont and A. l.. Reed.
The first business transacted was TO accept
the resignation of Thomas A. Fry as a
member of the league and TO appoint
c. C. Belden to the vacancy, the latter
action being taken upon the recommendation
of the Retailers association.
John r. Webster and C.. c.. George rep
resenting the Terminal company, produced a
large number of blue prints showing the
proposed depot at the foot of Farnam street,
with plans for the structure and the sur
rounding trackage.
The meeting continued for more than two
hours during which time the plans and cost
were discussed in detail and plans for reduc-
ing both the size and cost of the depot and ac-
companyng trackage were suggested. After
a full discussion it was the opinion of those
present that reduction could be made which
would be satisfactory to all concerned and
which would give a depot adequate for the
accommodation of the three railroads which
the committee feels sure OF inducing to oc-
cupy it, but which might also be enlarged
to meet the requirements of as many roads
as might desire to avail themselves of the
privilege. In the matter of rental, the
figure was reduced to point where the men,
bers of the league feel confident that no OBJ
lection will be offered by the railroads on
the score of it's being too high.
Members of the league say that the whole
matter now depends on the action of the
Union Pacific. They say that Receiver s. II.
II. Clark intimated in his interview with the
league, early in the week that the Union
Pacific could not pay more than a certain
amount for the rental of a depot. The men,
bers of the league say that the figure now
reached is within the limit fixed by Mr.,
Clark. If the arrangements agreed upon
prove satisfactory to the Union Pacific, the
members OF the league feel confident that
the question is solved. as they say the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Northwestern roads
will follow the lead of the Union Pacific
and a union depot at the foot of Farnam
street will be an assured fact.

FIRST TRIP OF FULToN's boat.
Group of Women Who Made the
Historic voyage.

A Group of Women Who Made the
Historic Voyage.
The December Century has a paper or
"a Group of American Girls Early in the
Century" which gives pleasant glimpses OF
Chancellor Livingston and Robert Fulton
The chancellor invited several of his fair
cousins to make a trip from New York to
his home at Clermont in a new boat.
The new boat" of the latter was the now
celebrated Clermont, the steamboat of Rob-
ert Fulton, which in August, 1907, made the
first successful steam voyage up the aston
ished Hudson, and demonstrated to the
world that new force had been discovered
by which old methods in nearly all lines
were to be revolutionized.
Very likely, with all their loving conf
dence In the wisdom of the chancellor, the
sisters embarked with some distrust of his
new boats making good its promise to get
them home in less than three days, even IL
both wind and tide should prove unfavor-
able; but they were not afraid of anything
worse than delay, though most OF their
friends feared for them. During the nine
years that had passed since Robert r.
Livingston and Robert Fulton had first Sc
cured the concession to navigate the waters
in New York state for twenty years pro-
vdlng they should build boat OF not less
than twenty tons that would go not less
than four miles an hour against wind and
tide" the subject had been so often talked
over In their presence that the sisters were
already quite intelligent upon it, and
laughed at the fears OF their tlm0rous
friends.
The embarkation was from dock near
the state prison" (Which was in Green
wlch village" on the North river, and was
witnessed by crowd of mot less than 500
Many were friends OF the pas
sengers, who bade them farewell with as
much solleltude as II they were going to

JUDGE GoRDoNAND THE vAcRANTs.

Resumes the Feru,cr Practice of sus-
| pended Sentences.
II meant just iwhat l said" remarked
! Police Judge Gordon to James Murphy, a
| vagrant, who wassup before him yesterday
morning II told you yesterday when sus-
pended your sentence that IL you did not
get out of the city at once you would 90 to
the county Jail for thirty days, the middle
ten on bread and water"
AS consequence of the foregoing re-
marks, Murphy was removed to the county
jan, TO stay there during the next month.
lie was up Thursday for vagrancy, and
promised If released, to leave the city at
once He appeared to think that his sus-
pended sentence was simply blum to drive
him out Of the city, but the police Judge
mas stated positively that every suspended
sentence viii be enforced IL the condition
on which 1t Is given is not complied with.
1t Will be remembered that last winter
the authorities made a most vigorous OBJ
lection to Judge Gordon's policy of order
ing vagrants out of the city on suspended
sentences, but now the police are making
no objections to the system of suspending
sentences. An appeal was made to the
mayor to stop the practice and this re-
suited in letter from Mayor Broatch to
the police judge, In which the latter was
informed that the practice must stop, as
the sole power OF suspendng sentences
.S'NN Nrth NHt mayor. InlS COmlnunlCa-
ton had the desired effect, for no more
suspended sentences were imposed by the
police Judge
The change in the policy, however, did not
satisfy the police. They had complained be-
fore that many of the vagrants, who were
suspected to be crooks travelling under that
guise, were allowed to go free under the
suspended sentence system. This was be-
cause Judge Gordon absolutely declined to
place men on the street gang or send them
to the county jail for the sole reason that
they had no money in their pockets or had
no home. He required some proof in addi-
ton to the simple statement of policemen
that the men were thought to be crooks.
This winter the police officers think that
the suspended sentence system is pretty
good thing One of the sergeants who wac
actively opposed to the policy last year,
said few days ago that it was a good way
to rid the city Of the vagrants. Con-
sequently 1t appears probable that the float
ing population of the city will be given a
chance to get out before they are sent to
jail
IF they do not get out of the city under
the suspended sentences" Judge Gordon
said yesterday morning. Il intend to send
every one of them to Jail. My order is no
bluff -

believe ChurchiIl's Opinion VIII Have
No Effect Upon Bonds Given.
In the opinion OF the city officials, the
decision of Attorney General Churchill that
the law under which guarantee bonds have
been accepted from public officers is un-
constitutional will have no effect on bonds
previously given and approved, even If
Mr.. Churchill's view should be concurred
in by the supreme court. City Attorney
Connell says that a decision of that kind
would have no bearing on the bond given
by City Treasurer Edwards. In his opinion
the guarantee bond given by Edwards is
perfectly good and will remain so. II is a
contract between the city and the guarantee
company, and will hold good as between
the city and that company.
City Treasurer Edwards Is not concerning
hlmself over the decision. He says that he
has consulted with the agent of the guar
antee company and with his attorney and
is satisfied that the Churchill opinion has
no bearing on his case. His bond has been
approved by the city and will hold good
County Treasurer Heimrod's bond is signed
by individual sureties, and therefore the de-
cision has no bearing on his case. But like
the city attorney and treasurer and other city
and county officials who have discussed the
subject, Mr.. Heimrod believes that it is
imperative that some law should be passed
by which guarantee bonds could be given
by public officers. He favors provision
by which the cost of the bond should be
bourne by the city, county or state, as the
case may be. He contends that in most
cases the salary of the Office is too small to
permit the official giving a guarantee bond
without sacrificing the greater part of his
salary. Therefore he is compelled to obtain
surety bond at the cost of placing himself
under obligation to a number of bankers
or heavy property owners who may be the
last men to whom such an official should
obigate himself. He believes that most of
the defalcations that occur in treasurers'
offices may be traced to the fact that as
the law now stands the treasurer is COM
PEELED to put himself in the hands of out
siders in order to qualify.

law under which these penalties were as

held that the law of 1873 was unconstitu-

Trnnsmississippi Congress VIII Not
Convene This Winter.
After considerable correspondence with in
terested parties it has been decided to aban>
don the plan of holding a meeting of the
Transmississippi congress this winter. i,
was thought that a meeting of the congress
during the winter, when the various state
legislatures were in session would have a
beneficial effect in securing state appropria-
tions for the Transmissssippi Exposition, as
the exposition project first took form in the
meeting of the congress held in this city.
The secretary of the congress writes that
after consulting with the people in Salt Lake
where the next session is to be held, and with
the officers and others interested, it has been
deemed inadvisable to hold the meeting be-
fore spring. The principal reason for this
is that it is thought impossible to secure n
good attendance during the winter months.
4 meeting of the congress in the spring.
though it will have no effect in securing
Legislative appropriations, is expected to give
considerable impetus to the exposition by
sending the delegates home enthused over the
project.
