Iecent Riot Rt south

Claims of Greek merchants to the state
department for damages sustained IN the
South Omaha riot come to the sum or
S226 .562. Besides this, Prof. Theodore
Ion is reporting to the Greek minister
that 1870 leborers lost $1,000 worth OF
personal effects.
Included i'm the merchants claims are
some items, damages for which 1t is
doubtful ever will be allowed. These in
particular are estimates Of future profits
which some merchants have inserted.
The leading merchants represented by
claims of from $4,000 TO $1,000 are John
ices, \. X. Cohorts, Demos Bros, Sotirus
Korlabos and Christ Zacharogianis.

United States j. likely to be 4 SLOW enc.
for the state department mas first 30 be
approached, and after it bias considered
the questions with the Greek minister
congress will be asked to appropriate
whatever sum the state department will
agree to.
That this will be less than asked for is
likely in the light Of past action in sim
liar cases.

Dog Tags Late;
Fido. Safe Now

No use to tie up your cog until along
toward the latter end OF April.
The dog catchers can't hook FtdO until
ssid Ffdo has a chance to save himself.
and he can't have that until the city clerk
gets his dog tags, and he can't get them
until the printer prints them, and the
printer is behind time on his order.
That's the answer to the howl that has
gone up to City Clerk Butler about why
don't you have the dog tags ready?'
Butler says he turned in the order for
the tags on time, but they won't be out
until about April Is. and the dog cstchers
can't do business for at least ten days
after the issuance OF the tags.
Possibly one Of the local papers wished
to play an April fool joke" on numerous
owners of CANNES in Omaha and therefore
published that dog tax tags would be
placed on sale April l.
