Il ft,4t4it, i4t- n Il
Mr.. Harte was born in Albany, \.
Y, in 1897. AT the age Of II he
went to California, where, alter some
experience Of life in mining towns, he
became editor OF paper in San
Francisco. From 1864 to 1870 he
was secretary OF the United States
mint in that city. In 1865 he was
made editor OF the newl y-founded
Overland Monthly In its first pages
appeared those vivid, dramatic
sketches of California mining life
which have given their author world
wide reputation. The first was 1.-The
Luck OF Roaring Camp thenfollOw-
ed "The Outcasts Of Poker Camp"
and "Tennessee's Partner Even
more widely read were his verses on
"The Heather Chinee, which the
author afterward was reluctant to
admit to his Complete Poetical
Works (1S73). In 1871 Mr.. Harte
removed to Boston and was a con-
tributor to the leading magazines.
He subsequently served as United
States consul in Germany and Scot
land.
In later years his poetry has been
chiefly in serious vein, but his idols
of California life still continue mas
terpieces.

CoNNELL WAITS ON THE COURT
VIII Not Advise Police Board Until
He Gets Records from SUI
preme Court.

A furry Of interest was created In the
city hall yesterday morning by the fact that
Mayor Moores, J. J. o'Connor and City At.
torney Connell were closeted together for
some time in the once Of the latter, and
the supposition was that o'Connor's right
to a position on the Board Of Fire and Po-
lice commissioners was under discussion.
This, however. the parties to the conference
denied.
"The meeting was entirely accidental"
said Mr.. Cornell. "O'Connor dropped In
to see about an appeal in a case against the
city In which he is interested. In regard
to this Fire and Police board matter, I
would like to modify the statement I made
yesterday. / want to say that until I get
the records from the supreme court, which
/ expect in a day or so, I'll not be prepared
to announce my position in regard to the
legal right Of the present board to hold

the course they should pursue In the event
the governors appointees demand posses

CONFER ON BIG HORN BASIN
Senator Dietrich ana Colonel Cody
Talk Over Proposed
LeGisIation.

Senator Dietrich left for Lincoln yesterday
afternoon after spending q couple OF. days
In Omaha. Yesterday morning he and Colonel
w. F. Cody had a, conference regarding
affairs relative to the development Of north
western Wyoming. where both Of them are
heavily interested in land.
The conference was not pre-arranged,"
said the senator. I'VE met and, being in
terested in the same part Of the country
to a certain extent, we naturally tslked
about those matters. There Is consider
able discussion now about increasing the
size Of the Yellowstone park, by taking In
part Of the western side Of the Big Horn
basin. It has also been proposed to place
the same land in the forest reserve. Many
OF the persons who oppose placing the
land in the park favor placing II under the
operation Of the forest reserve law. II
1t is placed in the park It will be impos-
sible for cattlemen to run their stock upon
the land, while IL IL be placed In the forest
reserve the cattle can still be grased over
the land. 7 know the country we'll, having
hunted over Il many times. MI. Cody
agreed with me in the contention that there
are few II any natural characteristics
which would warrant placing the land
within the limits Of the parks, but neither
OF US expressed any decided preference for
either plan.
Il have been 30 busy with the irrigation
Dill which was passed by the last con.
gress that l have had no opportunity to
give the reservation extension the thought
which 1t requires. / was especially
pleased to have the senators and repre-
sentatives come together upon the provi-
sion for federal control and management
under state laws. as l FIRST proposed that
plan at the Omaha conference held last
year. ! expect at the next session Of con-
gress to carry out another idea suggested
by me at that conference, and that is the
employment of federal and state prisoners
upon the construction of irrigation works.
l did not want to incorporate It in the
present law, as we wanted that relieved
from as much Of the detail as possible,
but as under the terms Of that law, the
settler upon the reclaimed land is to re-
fund to the government the cost of the
irrigation system, II Is to the interest Of
the public that that cost be as low as
possible. We can employ the federal pris-
oners at less expense than we can hire
labor, and the army OF the country can
be well employed in guarding them. We
could thus do work on Indian reservations
where the government can never be re-
imbursed for its expenditure, and in the
states we can undertake improvements far
larger in scope than II we have to employ
free labor"

PUTS BAN ON DEVIL WAGONS.
Park Board Excludes Automobiles from
Parks and Backwards.
DONE IN INTEREST OF HORSE DRIVERS
President Evans Takes Initiative
and Explains Reasons for Dis
eliminating Against the
Motor Vehicles.

Automobiles must stay OF the boule-
Yards and keep out Of the parks. The
Board Of Park Commissioner has so de-
creed. The new rule went into effect yester-
day, and the police department has re-
ceived instructions to enforce II. The rea-
son Is that the Omaha horse Is not edu-
Gated up to an acceptance of the automo-
bile as a fixed institution and until such
education has been acquired the chauf-
feur must keep to thorouChfares dedi-
Gated to common trafic and to the dirt"
roads.
Take the boulevard between Hanscom
and Riverview parks,' said ]. H. Evans,
president Of the board. THE driveway is
very narrow and fills and cuts are frequent.
Suppose an automobile should come thun-
dering along that stretch Of rUad at a
thirty-mile clip and should meet you or
overtake you while you we're driving a
spirited horse-it would be almost certain
to result in an accident, as there is barely
room enough to turn out even under the
most favorable circumstances The same
Is true In a general way of the driveways
in the parks. They are all narrow and in
places precipitous and it is impracticaole
to permit them to be used In common by
both automobilist and drivers Of horse
power vehicles. 1t may be that, In
course Of time, when motor cars become
more common and horses in consequence
become accustomed to them, this rule can
be abrogated. This board has no desire to
be severe with the chauffeurs, l am sure,
but It feels that It must take this step for
the safety OF the majority Of the public.
Another reason we had for excluding
automobiles from parks and b%oulevards was
that the average chauffeur is too ambi-
tious to break speed records. He declines
to conform to the speed ordinances OF the
city, but goes tearing along over the
streets at a terrific rate, seemingly forget
full that pedestrians or people in more con-
ventional vehicles ave rights which they
ought to observe"
The rule was passed by a vote Of three to
two, as follows: Aye-Evans, Lininger,
Craig-3. Nays-Cornish, Gonden-2.
The police department was requested to
detail officers to prevent swimming and
bathing in the lake at Riverview park, a
custom which is said to be very prevalent
this summer. The park board has not a
sufficient number of employees at Riverview
to enforce the rule against this abuse Of
park privileges.

SHAIEUP IN ASPHALT WORLD
People Change Officers Of the Omaha
Grant Company.
MOVE ALLEGED TO Be IN LINE OF ECONOMY
,ChieaEo Man for President and
CIiRor i. Howe of Omaha for
Superintendent OF the
Local work. al

AZ the annual meeting Of the %oficers, d.
.~rsctors and stockholders Of the Grant Paw
ing company Wednesday some decided
changes were made affecting the relations
Of that concern with the Barber Asphalt
company and in the directory and o1icial
board. Under the present arrangement each
company will maintain a distinct identity,
according to Mr.. Nash, but the affairs Of
each will be under control Of one set Of Of
hcers and directors. The change was made,
Il is alleged, in the interest Of economy.
All salaries Of ofncers were discontinued.
D. r. Cox, an employe Of the Barber As
tphalt compan at Chicago, was elected pres
gfdent in place Of Fred A. Nash. w. r Nc
Laughiim takes the place Of A. w. Sewail as
vice president, w. F. Miller succeeds A. G.
Powers as secretary and treasurer and
Clifford I. Howe, formerly secretary and
treasurer OF the Rochester Shoe company,
becomes superintendent in place OF John
Grant. The directory will comprise Fred
A. Nash and John Grant. Powers is out of
u entirely and is now unattached"
Barber Company owns the Grant.
The Barber Asphalt company owns Is
Ger cent Of the stock in the Grant Paving
company" said Mr.. Nash, but heretofore
has entrusted the management Of the Grant
company to Omaha men. who are the minor
,ity stockholders. Heretofore both the Bar
Der and the Grant company maintained a
separate organization here. As a result of
the change which was mad yesterday both
companies will be managed by one set of
officers, though the two companies will
maintain separate identities. One suite Of
once roOma probably will serve for both
concerns"
: D.. r. Cox. the new president will retain
his headquarters in Chicago. where he is
employed by the Barber Asphalt company
az a general utility man. w. r. Nc
Laughlin, the new vice president, has been
employed as auditor in the Barber COM
pany's ofices here. John Grant, formerly
superintendent. will continue to serve as
promoter and solicitor Of the combined
concern. though his salary of 5000 per
month has been Topped on and he will work
hereafter on commission. Mr.. Howe, the
new superintendent, Is comparatively new
at the asphalt business. having worked al
it less than two months, which time he
put in as a clerk In the Barber ofices.
