LUNCH WAGON is A BUILDING
such f. Decision of Judge Estelle,
who UphOIds the City In
Old Case.

Lunch wagons are buildings and as u
come under the tire limit ordinance which
prohibits frame structures in the business
district. This is the decision Of Judge
Estelle who s~ustains the 'positson Of the
city in a suit brought by Julius Ruben
stein to restrain the city from moving his
lunch wagon from a vacant lot at Six
teenth and Jackson streets. The tenn
porary Injunction was granted May Is, and
the judge has had the case under advise
ment since.
The lunch wagons and portable fruit
stands were put out of business last spring
by ordinance Of the city. but when the
building inspector sought TO move the
wagons and push carts from their aecus-
toned locations he was prevented by the
Rrbenstein injunction. The building I'M
spector has received many complaints all
summer from property owners who wished
the deserted derelicts moved. but he could
do nothing until the case in court was de-
cided. Now that Judge Estelle has held
that the wagon are prohibited under the
fire limit ordinances Mr.. Withheld says he
will proceed at once TO rid the business dis
trict Of th>m.
The new ordinance, including the news
wagon on sixteenth and Farnam streets
in the prohibitory regulations regarding
lunch wagons and fruit push carts, passed
two readings OF the council. but has beer
held up in the hands Of a committee for a
couple Of weeks.

Police Have Plan 10 Prevent Mayo
from L~tberatIng County
Jail

Asserting the police JUICE has no right
to sentence Migrants under the statute.
Blanche Finn has applied to the district
court for a writ OF haheas corpus to get
her out OF the county jail. She was sent
up from police court for sixty days. the
complaint against her being drawn under
the state law instead of under the statutes.
The petition filed by her attorney. John
o. Yeiser, aims at a practice begun by the
police since the policy OF Mayor Dahlman
70 pardon prisoners by the wholesale out
OF the county jail became apparent. In
stead OF filing vagrancy charges under the
city ordinances, they are filed under the
statutes, to take them out OF <he mayors
juridiction.
The petition points o,it the statute gives
the police magistrate the same Jurisdiction
as justices of the peace IN criminal cases.
and that justices are limited ~ their juris-
diction TO cases involving punishment not
TO exceed 500 fine OF three months In jail.
The statute provides as punishment for
vagrancy q $50 fine and three months in
jail, adding that the Jail sentence may in
clude hard labor in or out OF the jail. Mr..
Yeiser contends the hard labor feature
makes the penalty more severe than a plain
sentence OF three months in fail. and hence
vagrancy cases are neither In the jurisdic-
ton of the police magistrate or justice OF
the peace.

GETTING READY FOR THE BOATS

ton end stimulates Trans-
p~ortatIon Movement.

Captain Edward X. Schulz. engineer in
charge OF the Missouri river, has an-
nounced that a public hearing viii be held
at the federal building in Omaha. Septem-
Der IL. for the purpose Of affording inter
ested parties an opportunity to be heard
in connection with the establishment Of a
harbor line in the river at this point.
The proposed line will extend from 100
feet above the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company's bridge to the UhioT, Pacific
b.idge on the Council Bluffs side; and
from 1900 fest above the Omaha Bridge
srd Terminal compsny's bridge to the
south city limits OF South Omaha on the
Omaha side.
Considerable interest is felt in the estab-
lishment of this harbor line by those in
terested in reviving transportation on the
river. Many Omaha business men are OF
the opinion that il viii not be long before
a barge lire will be necessary to protect
Omaha's business againt Kansas ct d.
which has a boat line in operation and be-
lieves that such a line will secure grain
for Kansas City. which is nov coming to
Omaha. because Of the low water rates out
of Kansas City.
Lawrence NJ. Jones Is organizing a new
line which he says is no experiment and
business men will be asked to go into the
business as an investment proposition and
not to contribute to conduct experiments.
Captain Schulz estimates that a barge
lire from Kansas City u st. Louis win be
able to carry cargoes down stream for 10
cents per ton and bring them up for 81
cents per ton.
Kansas Cityans say this viii make their
city the greatest grain market in the
United States in two reasons.
The order for the harbor line hearing
to be held in Omaha. comes from the War
department through Captain Schulz.

LOW RATES FOR AE-SAR.BEN
Concessions Are Expected by Gov
ernors from the Railroads.
OMAHA DAY AT STATE FAIR
Event VIII he Heartily Pnshed ~
Commercial CIub ane Board of
Governors and due
ments Oaered.

The board Of governors Of Ak-sar-Ben
is becoming active in a campaign to get
reduced rates for the fall festivities with
every indication OF succesN Last year the
roads refused to make any concession
whatever. but this year there is hope for
success in an effort TO get a fare and a half
for the round trip.
After holding out for straight 2 cents =
mile for nearly two years the roads de-
cided to give reduced rates TO the state
fairs east Of the Missouri river. A hot
campaign was then raised and reduced
rates were given by some Of the roads to
the Nebraska and Kansas state fairs and
to the Mitchell corn show. Some roads re-
fuse TO give rates to the state fair and
some still hold their decision in allegiance.
The governors received considerable en-
from some Of the roads and
all promised to take the matter up i'm
nediately with the higher authorities. The
governors are skiing for rates from Sep
TENDER q to October 3, and they say they
hope to get them.
Z. L. Lomax. general passenger agent
Of the Union Pacific. said he was going to
recommend that the rates be given.
Ak-sar-Ben will be larger than ever and
will be more Of an attraction to outsiders
and for this reason the governors are
especially anxious to secure the rates, that
more people from Nebraska and western
Iowa may come to Omaha and join in the
fun.
An organized effort is being made to
make Omaha day at the state fair at Lin
coin next week Thursday a big success.
Not only has the Commercial club taken
up the matter. but the board Of governors
Of Ak-sar-Ben has taken hold. and in re-
turn for the splendid turnout which Lin
coin sent To the Den Lincoln night. will
endeavor 10 make Omaha day at the state
fair a biU day all around.
