City Jail.

The time has arrived for the Board OF
Fire and Police commissioners Of South
omaha to make recommendations to the
city council regarding an extensive increase
in the city's fire equipment. The last legis-
iature provided for an issue of 81. 900 bonds
for the erection Of a fourth fire hall, and
for the purchase Of the necessary hose
trucks and a hook and ladder truck as
equipment, and also a modern fire engine
for fire stations.
The chief OF the fire department Dave
CARAT. has prepared a report which will
be turned in at the noxt meeting Of the
board. He states that he attended the ma
tional fire chiefs convention at Grand
Rapids, Mich, and while there made a
special study OF fire apparatus with the
view Of securing the best for the city OF
South Omaha. All classes Of apparatus
were on exhibition and were given a rigid
test before the members, of the convention.
From a score or more OF good types Mr..
CARAT decided TO recommend a Scott en-.
CINE and a Seagrave hook and ladder truck.
These pieces Of apparatus he will ask the
board 10 recommend to the city council
for purchase.

"Rah for Kaiser Bill and President Bilv'
Such was the trend of the remarks at
the banquet at the German Home last
night. given In honor of Richard Mueller
and Christ Reclaim, high officials of the
German Wa societies Of America. Mr.,
Mueller is the commander-in-chief of all
the societies in America, and Mr.. Reclaim
is commander Of the German societies OF
New York.
The two distinguished officers are in
the west to visit the societies Of the order
in Chicago and Omaha. These are the only
two cities which will be visited by the
German officers in their official capacity.
They were the guests of honor at the
banquet rendered by the Omaha Landwehr,
the local branch OF the national order.
After the banquet had been disposed Of
Charles Epplen, president Of the local or
der, addressed the large audience. and was
followed by A. F. Mertens, president OF
the western branch OF German War So
cieties. The guests Of honor also spoke,
as did Mayor Dahlman, who highly com
plimented the society, told several stories,

patriotic songs.
The audience was made up of veterans

several who took part in the colonial war
in Africa, and the Chinese trouble In 1900.
In all more than 800 persons sat dow TO
the banquet.
The function continued until an early

the chief recommended that II be estab-
lished as near to e or It streets as pos
sible and between Twenty-seventh and
Twenty-ninth street. The northern section
of the city has long been complaining of
the lack of proper fire protection. The
nearest station is situated at T~wenty-fifth
and l. streets, which is considered much
too far for safety. The board will probably
take up this matter as \soon as possible so
that the new fire hall may be built this
year.
The chief expresses satisfaction In the
fact that the fire losses during the entire
year have been slight compared with other
recent years. The largest loss was the
Peters, Alfalfa Food Products mills at
Twenty-ninth and B streets. The other
fire Of importance was the old wooden
structure Of the Omaha Packing plant.
Aside from these two the fires have been
Of little consequence. In this respect the
city has been more fortunate than ready
considering the lack of fire-flghting ap-
paratus.
Deposition in Cell Case.
w. c. Lambert left last evening for Can
ton, o., for the purpose Of taking deposit
tons in the suit which the Champion Iron
company has against the city Of South
Omaha for the cell work of the city Jail.
After the city had contracted for the work
and had the cells IN position, payment was
refused on the ground that the company
had net erected the cells according to
specifications and plans. 1t was found that
a five-ply plate enclosed all the cells,
rendering them dark and lily ventilated. 1t
required q new contract TO have the CRATES
placed in the panels OF the steel plates.
Then 1t was further claimed that the sup
posed five-ply plate was only three-ply.
The Champion Iron ompany maintained
that they had followed the plans and speei-
fieations completely and had in addition
called attention to the dark cells and asked
q change of plans to remedy the fault, but
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-12

were refused by the architect. On these
points has arisen the difference and the
pending suit. Mr.. Lambert expects to be
gone a week or more.
EIOpers Are Held Up.
Barely more than 16, Carrie Kane, a
girl whose home is a short distance south
west of Fort Crook, spent the first night
of her pre-honeymoon In Jail. She and
her would-be hubby, John often, were
intercepted last night in South Omaha by
the police of that city. The couple admit
that they left their homes to get married
without the knowledge OF their parents.
They intended to have the ceremony per-
formed this morning, they said.
A head of curly red hair and a necklace

VISITING the National Capital.

The Washington correspondents tell

thousands Of boys and girls from New

having the privilege of a personal
meeting with Pre- siGent Taft. These

The "OriainaI" Declaration.

President Taft has accepted an in
vitation to visit Mecklenburg. n. c.,
next month, when that little town will
celebrate the anniversary of the sign
ing of the Original Declaration of In
dependence" Most of the world has
never heard of Mecklenburg except in
connection with this alleged priority
in severing the ties between America
and the mother country, and the con-
tloversy involved in the Mecklenburg
claim will force the President to use
falls when he visits the North Caro-
lima town. Philadelphia, in particular,
will have its eyes upon him at that
time
The MeckIenburg controversy is one
of the most interesting things con-
nected with the story of our struggle
for independence. The town did not
advance its claim until we'll into the
18th century. about 1920, when the
North Carolina people arose to remark
that the famous Declaration prepared
by Thomas Jefferson was nothing but
a plagiarism of the "original' docu-
ment prepared at Mecklenburs over
year before the representatives of the
colonies assembled at Philadelphia.
To yrove the case a copy of a newspa-
per Of the date of May, 1918, was adj
ducea in evidence where an apparent
" vcracous narrative confirmed the
statement. jefferson and Adams, who
We're then living, denied that they had
ever heard of such a thing and it is
now claimed that the newspaper was
a clever forgery manufactured for the
purpose. There We're no documents in
existence to prove the statement, but
as the court house which was sup
posed to contain them had recently
been destroyed by fire this was held
to be only negative evidence.
Historians have threshcd out the
matter thoroughly and find that there
is no evidence supporting the claim
that is to say most historians have
done So But the people of Meckl"n-
burg County would rather give up in
dependence than the tradition as to
their early action in the premises.
Anyway, they are going to have
month and ara
much rejoiced that the President hum
self will be on hand as one of the
speakers Fl. loves North Carolina, as
was made plain last fall when he WIS.,

paign, but he will have to be careful
What he says on this occasion or he
will incur the everlasting dislike OF
