PROBLEM IN PHILIPPINES
II is Ably Discussed by Numerous
Speakers ut the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church.

The Philippine problem still remains un-
solved so far as the colored population Of
Omaha is concerned. The mock congress
held at the African Methodist Episcopal
church Monday night developed such interest
in the subject that an adjournment was
necessarily taken before a final vote was
voiced on the question under discussion,
Resolved, That this conference does not
approve the policy of the administration in
its attitude toward the Philippines"
AS Daniel Webster Washington, the dele
gate representing Idaho, expressed it, there
was great deal of 'thusiasticism, " before
the conference came to a termination be-
cause of the lateness of the hour. Discus
sion of the question will be continued next
Monday night.
For the most part the colored speakers
stated their opposition to the present at
titude Of the administration. Ed j. Cornish
and John C. Wharton, who responded to
especial invitations to be present and ad-
dress the meeting, were accorded generous
applause, however, when they spoke eo-
quently and periodically in support OF Presi-
dent McKinleSs policy. Among the colored
members of the conference who spoke were
Silas Robbins, H. L. Dorsey, D.. w. Wash
ington, j. NJ. Dorsey, Miss Celia Wilson,

neral was held. 1t was according to the
rites used at the burial of United States
army officer. few minutes after the con-
clusion Of that service the transport Belgian
King weighed anchor and sailed for
America, bearing the body in a metallic
casket.
For the reason that military funeral was
held at Manila, the exercises at the home

simple. None will be present save the mem
bers of the two families and Bishop Coad-
jutor Williams, of the Nebraska Episcopal
diocese, who will conduct the beautiful and
impressive Episcopal ceremony. At 10

Secretary Watkins of the Commercial club
has inserted an advertisement in a number
OF newspapers for a hotel man with money
who is willing to bear part of the expense
of erecting a first-cass hotel In this city
The need for a good hotel here is called to
the attention of the people daily and it is
considered that a great deal of trade is lost
by the merchants because there is no first
class stopping place for out town vis-
itors. 1t is further thought that good
hotel can be made to pay, as the large num-
ber OF single men employed by the various
corporations would likely abide at such a
place instead of living in rooms and eating
at restaurants. Secretary Watkins is of the
opinion that there is an opening here for
the right kind of a hotel man.

LOOKS BLUE FOR BOULEVARD
Property Owners object
to Appraisement and Project
May Fall Through.

Twenty-six property owners in the course
of the proposed boulevard from Hanscom
park to Thirty second and Burt streets have
filed notice that they will protest in the dis
trict court against the appraisement of the
assessors. The freeholders have thirty days
from October 81 in which to file notice, and
others may still appear.
If any one of them can make showing to
the court that his property has been under
valued it will practically kill the boulevard
project. The ordinance sets aside only $780,
900 as the limit of expense for the acquire
ment of property along the right of way, and
the appraisers have included $49, $50 in their
valuations. margin of only $3.50 therefore
remains with which to satisfy the claimants
The proposed boulevard is link in cir
cult of such drives which is intended to ac-
commodate light travel through the outly-
ing portions of the city. Various parks were
mapped out along the course, the whole be-
ing similar to systems in Chicago and east
ern cities. The boulevard from Riyerview to
Hanscom parks has been thrown open to the
public and it was planned to continue the
one now under discussion from Burt street to
connect with the Nineteenth street course.

WATTS REDUCED TO RANKS
Captain of CoIored Engine Company
Punished for Neglect of Duty
Chiefs Bond Approved.

Z. w. Watts, captain of engine company
No. II, was called upon the carpet at the
meeting of the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners Monday night on the charge
of neglect of duty by failing to report at
two fires One of these was at the expo
sition and the other occurred at Ninth and
Capitol avenue some time ago.
Several witnesses were examined who
testified that the captain was in bed at the
time OF the last fire and failed to get up until
he was violently shaken by the lieutenant
and then seemed to be in a dazed condi-
tion, incapable of realizing what was wanted
of him.
Mr. Watts said he had been sick that day
md had taken some strong medicine for his
stomach. He was unable to give a very
lucid explanation of his dereiction OF duty
and the board reduced him to the ranks The

David Burney will leave within day or two

growth that South Omaha does. The in

the class OF buildings erected within the

While nothing definite is known. 1t is pre-
dicted that the new directory, which is to

HAVE PROMISED TO Be GOOD
Populist Combntivencss Has Purified

Heart.

ing a distribution Of the Offices within the
bestowal of the sheriff, treasurer and clerk
OF the district court have been whipped into
line by the vigorous tactics OF the populis.s
aud free silver republicans. When the popu-
lists first put forward their claims to a pro-
portionate share OF the places. based on the
Winter Shields vote, which entitled the pop
ulists to one-third and the silver republicans
to about one-twelfth of the appointive Off
ces. the democratic officers elect fatty de-
clared that it was useless to talk about any
such recognition and ran a cold blum on the
populist conference committee.
Since the popuists and silver republicans
have shown fight however, the democratic
officers-eect have been led to amend their
views somewhat. Saturday night there was
meeting of prominent democrats who in
sisted that it was necessary that the prom
ises of the party shall be carried out and,
as a result, a committee waited on the
populist county central committee and as
sured 1t that its demand TOR places for six
populists would be honored. That is the rea-
son why the resolutions previously passed by
the populists relating to democratic periidy
were reconsdered and held in abeyance. The
resolutions were not repudiated, but are held
as a club over the heads OF the democrats
and if the promises made Saturday night are
not carried out, 1t is safe to say that the res
olutions will be gain brought out and passed
with additional emphasis. Meantime the
democrats have also promised the silver re-
publicans one place instead of the two they
demanded.
The promise to the popullsts contemplates
the appointment of two populiste in each of
the three offices captured by democrats, and
in addition two young women in the office of
the clerk of the district court. This prom,
ise will necessitate a revision of the appoint,
ments announced some time ago by Treas
urer-elect Elsasser, which contained but one
populist.

Sudden Termination of Criminal Trial
Which Had Sensational
Start.

Mont Watts, the nero who has been on
trial before Judge Baker for two days on
the charge OF criminal assault, was set free
yesterday before his case reached the
jury. The attorney for Watts filed motion
to dismiss, alleging that the evidence did
not warrant further proceedings. The court
sustained the motion and Watts walked out
OF the court house, probably the happiest
black man in Omaha. Miss Cora Creamer
was the prosecuting witness. 1t was proven
that somebody slapped Miss Creamers face,
but she could not be positive who slapped
her, and there seemed to be nothing to
show that Watts had anything to do with
the affair He has been in Jail for several

I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

An auditorium and offices for the CONNER
cial club are now being talked of by busi-
ness men. Dave Clark started the idea by
suggesting that 100 men be secured who
would contribute $40 each to fund to erect
such a building. Mr.. Carks idea met with
considerable favor, but it is feared that
$4,000 will not be sufficient to purchase
ground in the central part of the city and
erect thereon a suitable structure. In lieu
of Clark's plan w. Cheek suggests that the
plan followed in Kansas City be adopted
here. That is the selling of buttons of a
suitable design for 81 each He argues that
it is much easier to get 81 out of a man
than $40. In the first place Mr.. Cheek sug
gests that a citizens committee be appointed
at a mass meeting to handle the fund and
push the work. thus bringing the project
home to every property owner. Mr.. Cheek
says that in Kansas City the buttons were
sold on sort of endless chain plan and he
sees no reason why the same scheme should
not operate here. What he wants is n
popular movement and he is confident that If
every business man and property owner will
take hold of the project enough buttons can
be sold to erect fine building for public
meetings as we'll as furnishing rooms for the
Commercial club. Such a hall as Mr.. Cheek
proposes could be rented for dances, lee
lures, conventions, political meetings, etc,
and the revenue derived would likely be suf-
ficient to pay the running expenses. If
started in the right way 1t Is presumed that
each of the big corporations would take at
least 100 buttons. Then comes the commits
sion men at the stock yards who are
naturally benefited by the advertisement of
South Omaha. These commission men will
be asked to stand up and declare themselves
and buy buttons to give to shippers and
friends from abroad. Merchants are to be
asked to do the same thing and taking all
the contemplated sources of revenue into
consideration, it is figured that enough
money can be raised, with little effort, to
erect first class building.
When spoken to on the subject yester-
day, Mayor Ensor said he was heartily in
favor of the project. Further he said he
would be one of ten men to purchase site
for the proposed building. With the cost OF
a site out of the question, the entire pro-
ceeds of the buttons can be devoted to the
erection of a suitable building There is
no doubt that nine men can be secured to
join the mayor in the purchase of site and
this will be great help.
The mayor figures that a site can be Sc
cured for 81, 900. which would mean 5000 for
ten men, upon which can be erected build
ing to cost s., 900 or $4,000. A public hall is
badly needed here and the plan is being
seriously considered. More than likely the
directors of the Commercial club will con-
slider the matter of calling meeting OF the
people for the purpose of selecting citizens
committee to secure the buttons and start
The ball a rolling.
