No More Bodies to Come From Cubs

An order will be issued by the war depart
ment prohibiting the removal of the bodies
of any more dead soldiers from Cuba or
Porto Rico to the United States. This will
be done by advice of General Brooke and
General Wood, who is himself a.surgson.
The Spanish law of Porto Rico prohibit the
eNhuming of body for two years after
burial, and all surgeons agree that the dan
ger of distributing typhoid fever germs in
this way is very great. There are 75O Amer
lean soldiers buried at Santiago and about
fifty or sixty in Porto Rico, and the war
department will make arrange ments. as soon
as possible for the selection of an appropri
ate location for the proper burial in both
places in permanent soldiers cemeteries.

many sorrowing fathers and mother in the

A Society to Insure Seats in the Cars

Omaha--An Antcrowdng Car society IS
the latest reform organization in Omaha,
the first demonstration by the association
being made Friday evening as the ocock
crowds took possession of the street cars.
The first information the conductor of the
car received was stern command from
dozen members of the society.
"Let another man or woman get on this
car and over you go. Ring the bell and go
ahead if you don't want trouble"
The conductor took one look at the scowl
ing faces of the men jammed into the aisle
of the street car and then hastily gave the
signal to move on. leaving a crowd of angry
people at the crossing. The society belongs
to Walnut Hill, a fashionable suburb of the
city. and is the outgrowth of what the resi-
dents of that locality term long siege of
crowded car service. Finally the residents
of that section, at mass meeting, formed
the Ant-crowding Car association, the men,

by force any effort to crowd more than a
comfortable number into the cars when any

AN EXCITING AFFRAY ON A
UNIVERSITY CAR
Bert Lunney's Sudden Quarrel With
Motorneer Sample-A Des-

L. w. Sample, an extra motorman, EN-
ployed on the University division of the
Los Angeles Consolidated railway, had a
narrow escape from being shot and killed
last night. Because Of personal quarrel,
Bert X. Lunney shot at Sample with re-
volver, but missed his aim.
The affair occurred shortly after 10 o'clock
rear the corner of Sixteenth and Flower
streets. Lunney was seated on the front
OF the car, talking with Sample, who was
acting as motorman. The men appeared to
be on good terms. Suddenly, without warn
ing Lunney drew revolver, and jumping
up fired at Sample The bullet passed close
to the mans head and went through one of
the windows in the car. Sample threw off
the electric current and grappled with his
assailant Lunney tried to get his arm
free, in order that he could use his pistol
again, but Sample held on and prevented
this. The pair struggled for short time,
and then Sample sprang from the car and
took to his heels, leaving his hat behind.
Lunney picked up his hat, as he sup
posed and started east on Sixteenth street.
where he met Police Officer Fowle. Say"
remarked Lunney, Il want to surrender my
self. | tried to kill a man just now and
am sorry and want to be locked up" Fowle
took him into custody, at first thinking him
to be crazy. The police station was notified,
and Officer Rico went after the prisoner
I.unney admitted to the officer that he had
tried to take the life of Sample but did not
explain his reasons. Sample could not be
seen last night so the cause for the attack
could not be learned. Lunney was locked in
the city prison but no charge was filed
against him.
