CUP RACE IN THE THIRD WARD
Lively Contest In TOps1 Breeze, with
Chief Donahue at the
wheel.

A large portion of the people who
happened to be in the Third ward yesterday
evening rushed from ALI directions to tho
vicinity of Thirteenth and Shicago streets
to see Chief Donahue arrest Dick Hamer,
who lives at Tenth and Douglas streets,
for being drunk. It was quite a
sight. The chief. cool and leisurely.
signalled the wagon at Fourteenth and
Cass streets. as 1t was going to the sta
ton with a lost child, and got In for a
ride. AS they were nearing Twelfth street
on Davenport. they sighted Hamer, who
was making heavy weather OF 1t and tack
ing along the street,
WED better stop and pick up this fell
low" said the chief austerely.
But when Hamer saw the wagon slowing
up a cables length under his quarter, he
decided to run free for It, and putting his
helm hard down. showed the numbering
wagon a clean pair OF heels over the fence
and through a knee-deep duck pond in the
back yard and 10 the alley between Chi
cage and Davenport streets.
The chief was amused and then annoyed,
but letting out a couple OF reefs and MAX
ing a short leg to north, northwest, and a
long one north by west, he sailed into the
alley in pursuit, where Hamer. now running
free had several cable lengths the start.
II was an even and spirited race; the chief.
who is a bit too broad Of beam and blum
bowed for speed, going steadily, while
Hamer, earelessly loaded tween decks,
rolled heavily. A stern chase is a long
chase, but the rakish Hamer, keeping a
lookout only astern. did not see danger
looming ahead in the shape of a telephone
pole and with everything drawing struck
just forward Of the port catheads and was
thrown fiat on his beamends. But FORUM
ately nothing went by the board but his
hat, and so before the pursuing Donahue
could get in a position to rake him, he went
about on the other tack and filled away
through the sound water OF a pawnbroker's
yard, leaving the open alley. The chief
came about as soon as he could slow his
engines down. and laborng heavily. pur-
sued, haning the pawnbroker to ram
Hamer, which the pawnbroker failed to do,
fleeing for safety to the home port.
At this point an ally in the form Of an
! unusually large and enthusiastic yellow dog
| signaIed into action, firing great guns
with hoarse reverberatons. About went the
chase into open water again and out or
Thirteenth street, where Hamer missed
STAYS in going about and striking a hole IN
the pavement capsiEed and became the
prize OF the fleet, which now consisted Of
the chief, Patrol Conductor Vanous, the dos
and a squadron OF pleasure craft. Al THU
point the dog suddenly collapsed and wa'
thought to be dying.
but / didn't kill the dog" said Hamer
IT swear 1 didn't"
He was towed away TO the police station
where a negro boy later came TO say tina
the dog had revived.
The chiefs pretty fast for a craft O
that build,{' said the prisoner. but Ill be

me when I'm not too heavily loaded"

the wish OF the people. The citizens of
Omaha expressed themselves plainly and
forcIbly on the NTH day of May. They do
not want these power to get control of the
council for another three years. II II were
possible for this scheme to succeed It would
keep US in a turmoil for three years and
amount to nothing short OF a calamity. 1
have faith in our counci,-elect. And II
there is any changing in the humble OF
wards and councilmen to be done, let tho
new council do it. Some OF our wards ara
too large and some changes could be made
with advantage. but not Of the sort as con-
templated In this plot.
Henry w. Yates-I haven't informed my
self on the law that makes such an action
possible. but there is no telling what these
politicians won't do. For myself. I never
could zee the use in increasing the number
OF councilmen from six to nine, much less
nine to thirteen.
c. c. Belden-If I were to have my way
In the matter we would have fewer coun-
ci,men rather than more.
Arthur c.. wakeley-This seems TO me
simply a plan OF some OF the retiring coun-
cilmen TO perpetuate themselves In ONCE;
certainly II is wholly uncalled for that wa
have a redistricting at this time.
NHcupcE 10 Eut LheAA on PENSIONS
e. C. Garvin-Give the Big Five council
combine a pension II necessary until the
next city election. The voters will then
nut them on the shelf.
NJ. Levy-I think the attempt OF these
councilmen to increase the number OF
wards and extend their own terms or ofico
is a ~high-handed proceeding. II possible a
stop should be put to this attempt and al
others like II.
w. A. DeBord-The scheme Is an outrage
and should not be permitted by the people
OF Omaha.
John n. Frenzer-Aside from the out
rageous attempt OF the councilmen to steal
another term. / am opposed TO increasing
the number OF wards, because II means In
creased expenditure. and the city cannot
afford II at this time. There are other
reasons as well why the present nine wards
should remain intact. at least until the
1 people can elect councilmen to represent
them.
c. r. Sherman-I am against 1t. This lie
a matter for the people to settle. anyway.
1t seems to me that the people have spoken
and spoken emphatically. II they had
wanted more OF the old council 10 hold
over they would have voted differently
Joseph NJ. Baldrige-I do not know just
what argument the advocates OF this
change put forward in support of It. but
from the information l now have. I thinE
the change undesirable.
r, N. clarke-I had not realized until
after election that we needed the old
couneilmen so badly. I. Hascall and the
others behind the scheme are In need Of

Public sentiment is almost unanimously
against the scheme OF 1. 3. Hascall and
other outgoing councllmen to redistrict the
city from nine to thirteen yards In order 20
make holdover places for themselves IN the
council. Business and professional men In
terviewed at random expressed themselves
as follows:
r Z. sunderland-This move l would
condemn on its face. II is so manifestly an
effort on the part OF the old councilmen to
keep themselves In office contrary to the
will Of the people. Had the people wished
them retained in Office the ballots would
have so Indicated.
w. T. Graham-It is the most impairment
piece OF business l ever heard or The
whole thing Is a plot OF four politicians to
fotst themselves on the people by holding
over office after they have been repudiated
by the voters.
Lieutenant Governor McGilton-I GER
tainly do not approve II and l have the
first man to h~nd-outside of a certain poli-
teal coterie-who does approve It, What Is
the occasion for enlarging the number OF

More Business and Less Politics.
Major r.. S. wilcox-I don't see any need
for thirteen councilmen. / think we have

duee the number. for that matter. l am
afraid there is cheap politics In this move.
Omaha has had enough Of that sort OF
thing. What this city needs Is more ousi-
ness and less politics.
Robert Cowell-The law enacted by the
last legislature permits the enlargement OF
the council, that Is true. on a fair basis
this would be al right, but on the gerry
Wandering basis II would be all wrong
The proposition under discussion is simply

d. v. ,sholes-The proposed rearrange-
ment is an outrage; the zlg-zagging of the
wards for the purpose of getting places
for the old councilmen shows its unfair
ness. II they desire further political honor
let them come out and secure their cleo
ton the same as others.
Nelson c. Pratt-The proceeding is vicious
and uncalled-for. The people are not
ready for this action and things done in
haste are often repented at leisure.
c. F. Harrison-While 1 am not against
thirteen wards, 1 am against thirteen
wards when we have to take with them
such men as propose to hold themselves
over.

council at large salaries, but 1 don't think

A. II. Hipple-On general principles I am
opposed to seeing the will Of the people
interfered with. They have elected nine
men TO manage the affairs of the city, and
as there were not more than. mine elected, I
do not think hat more than nine should
serve.
John c. wharton-1 am opposed to the
plan from the start. We are now paying
all Of the expenses Of city government we
are able to pay. We have machinery for a
city government in a municipality Of $780,
900. and nearly all OF the expense of such
a government. and therefore 1 am opposed
to increasing the expense by increasing
the number of councilmen.
H, r. Gould-It is a rank outrage. There
were but three square men in the last city
council, and our member from the Fifth
ward has now put his foot in 1t by
voting with the solid FIVE.
