Caught IN
II TZPHOON
The Steamer AIben6a Had re.
variable a dOerFureS orr
the Chino Coast.

Snubby nosed, unpretentious and din
gy, a tramp On the high seas, the Ger
man steamer AIbenga, from the far
east, survived a typhoon of the China
coast. The rusty merchantmen found
temporary rest at the Bush terminal
docks, New York, says correspondent
Of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Albenga, which had left Yoke
hama and then Hiogo and Kobe for
Shanghai, engaged in an endurance
contest with the typhoon for twelve
hours, being stripped of her rudder, ev-
cry blade OF her propeller but one, and
emerging from the fight with the eIe
ments despoiled of boats and bits OF
gear, appurtenanceS of q ship quite nee
essary for proper working and safety.
AT first there was a prelude in the
shape of hurricane, but that, in com
parison with what was to come, was
only a short curtain raiser.
The decks were so whelmed in water
that the steamer seemed to be sinking.
A CLEAN of yellow and red told of the
coming of daybreak. The air became
as still as the interval preceding a cy-
clone on a prairie or a sandstone on
great desert.
OF a sudden Captain Petersen found
himself enveloped in a squall of gray
and black, shutting the sight Of the
bow from the bridge and leaving him
in the pail Of midnight.
Then the wind was heard, not felt. It
did not appear to be coming from any
particular quarter or whirling upon one
axis, but there were shrieks of a dozen
different whir1winds, each having an
axis Of it's own and vying with its
neighbors in energy, volume of sound
and destructiveness.
These independent typhoons, strug-
Cling with one another, appeared to the
imaginative mind to be quarreling
among themselves and emitting gigan-
tic roars, each battling to be selected
to destroy the shapeless thing of steel
and bravado which had presumed t.
invade the cave of the winds.
Most remarkable was the fact tha>
there was not a breath of air In this
center Of calm the ship trembled as if
she were an animal intwined with an
instinct that scented danger.
Expecting giant waves to board them,
as in the Atlantic, the crew was UMPIRE
pared for what followed. AS if prompt
ed by a signal, great geysers sprang
from the boiling waters, covering the
decks with white froth, floating adrift
every detail Of ship gear and furnish
1ngs that was not screwed fast. The
familiar green of story was absent, but

MAYOR ZIlHlI.4N.

BY virtue Of the law of succession em-
bodied I'm the city charter, the Office of
mayor has with the death Of Mayor
Moores passed to Harry b. Zimman,
who was elected by the people to serve
as councilman from the Third ward and
in that capacity was three years ago
chosen president of the council by his
associates. 1t is true that there is
question as to how long under the law
Mayor Zimman will have right to oc-
cupy the position Of chief executive Of
the city, but whether he is to be mayor
for two days, or for two weeks. or for
two months, he will during that time be
invested with full powers and RESPONSE
bilities attaching to the office.
Mayor Zimman should be- mayor in
every sense Of the wOrd-every minute
of the time that he Is clothed with the
official title-and prove to the people of
Omaha that he is equal to the emer
gency which has been thrust upon him.
He has been in close enough touch with
municipal affairs as councilman for six
years and as acting mayor for much of
that time to know how a mayor should
act and what a mayor should do. He
knows that the mayor is the responsible
head of the entire executive branch of
the city government, that he is the law
enforcing officer, the sole source of or
ders for the police department and en-
titled to obedience by every one Of the
appointive officers so far as their duties
are not expressly prescribed by law.
Mayor Zimman knows. too, by per-
sonal observation and contact that at
this very time the police club is being
swung high-handed and the machinery
OF the police court perverted in the in
terest of Broatch as police commissioner,
who, taking advantage of the confne-
ment of Mayor Moores to the sick room,
has usurped the mayors authority and
prerogative over the police department.
1t is the duty of Mayor Zimman first
and above all to assert himself as the
! chief law-enforcing officer of the city
and to stop at once the misuse of the
police and police court machinery for
personal political ends.
Mayor Zimman is a Young man with
his political future before him. We feel
sure his highest ambition will he to
make a creditable record as mayor, nc
matter how brief his tenure of Office
may he. Such an opportunity comes
seldom to a man without seeking it. The
people expect much Of him and we trust
! they will not be disappointed.
