That was the proposition made to Police
Judge Crawford by Hiram Ingram Monday
morning. Hiram is a negro and was up for
stealing coal.

while on ionger sentences, men serve their

Dozen Men
File for the Fire
and Police Board
Pay Their Money, but Applications
Are Withheld Pending Action
on Charter Bill.

twenty -four candidates paid their money
and handed in applications to be placed
on the primary ballot as candidates for the
fire and police board, but City Clerk
Butler rules that IL the legislature passes
the charter bill containing the elective ex-
else board clause, the filing of these can
didates must be made all over again, ia
Guiding the payment OF another fee.
He says that the old filings cannot be
resurrected, and that new ones must be
filed. To these new filings must be at
tached receipts from the city treasurer
showing that the IS fees have been paid.
The old receipts are attached to the old
finlings and duplicates will not be issued.
In the rush Saturday afternoon the
clerks force failed to record the name OF
John Coffey, S25 South Twenty-fifth ave
nue., in the book, and therefore this name
was not published in the supposedly com
plete list OF filings. Mr.. Coffey put in an
application as a candidate for the fire and
police board on the democratic ticket.

Two omaha lads are wearing bandaged
and plastered-s heads this week as
tho result of a rock thrown at another
person. while the young man for whom the
missile was intended still walks the streets
without having experienced even a scratch.
Earl Kenneth, 1923 Dodge street, is the
lad who threw the rock and is now under
surveillance Of Probation officer Bernstein.
An usher at the Palm moving picture
theater. Fourteenth and Douglas streets.

rock.
Being put out of the Palm theater Sun

or some other %offense, young Kennett inn
mediately tried to get even by hitting the
usher with a rock. But instead of going
to its mark. the rock bumped the Uranium
OF Clarence MAXWELL who was outside
the theater and then bounced into the
theater and hit Max Frank.
DR.. Chcdek patched up the injured heads

Il was made a citizen said johnson.
by virtue Of a proclamation of President
Lincoln, who made all foreign born soldiers

Johnson displayed two honorable dis
charges from civil war regiments with
which he served five full years.
There is no proclamation such as john
son imagined, but Mr.. Daily directed
Deputy Clerk steere to look up Johnson's
case and see IL there was any record of
his being naturalized. II was found that
Johnson. who is an Englishman born,
took out first papers September H. 1859, He
was accordingly an elector of Nebraska

CRUSADE FOR FREE TRADE
Campaign Of Education Being Waged
by Philippines.
MANILA SENDS IT'S AGENT HERE
Harold ". Pitt, Representative of the
Merchants Association, visits
Omaha 60 secure Pressure
ON Congress-.

Free trade between the Philippine Is
lands and the United states on all articles
Of commerce. including sugar and tobacco,
means the elimination of a large amount
Of Tying which the United States does
with tropical countries and English
colonies, which now sell a great deal more
in this country than they buy, according
to Harold NJ. Pitt, representative Of the
Manila Merchants associations. who spent
Monday in Omaha.
Mr.. Pitt called at the Commercial club
and had a conference with II. II. Bal
drige. chairman of the legislative COM
mittee Of the club. He is making the
rounds of the big market cities in the hope
Of creating public sentiment favorable to
the passage OF bills in congress permitting
free trade with the Philippines on all
articles. He wants the Omaha Commercial
club TO adopt a resolution to congress.
"The first thing It means is that there
will be a more equitable balance between
the buying and selling which the United
States does annually with tropical coun-
tries says Mr.. Pitt at means the money
Of the country will go to islands where
Americans have big interests and not to
foreign countries. Brazil is a good example
Of the balance at present. In that country
We bhN rtlliAhiAg "AN'fFN'f'NN ~ lh'
ducts and sell at Brazil about S9,O00,0OO
worth Of our factory output and other pro-
ducts.
our contention is that when the Philip
pines are developed as they will be in a
few years, and with favorable tariff laws
the islands will he able to supply almost
everything which we now buy from Brazil
or any other scmi-tropical country"
Another argument which Mr.. Pitt pre-
sents for free trade with the islands is
that with the development of trade the
United states will build great warehouses
in the Philippine islands and distribute
from them 10 China. where a good trade
is being established by the wholesalers
already in the islands. 1t is just another
step forward-the placing of United States
distributing depots one point further west
in it's conquest for trade and will enable
the American republic to control the COM
marce of the Pacific. not alone that of
China
