JAPANESE IN
THE PARADE

A section Of the Floral Parade which
promises to be more interesting this
year than ever before is that which is
being planned by the local Japanese
community. The Japanese are TAX
ing a very keen interest in the Par.
ade this year, and are working along
various lines to make a conspicuous
display.
The Japanese Merchants Associa-
ton, it is reported, has sent to Japan
for large assortment of materials
with which to decorate float; while
number of prominent japanese
residents and business firms are al
so planning separate entries.
AS in previous years the Japanese
bicycle riders are much interested in
the cash prizes to be awarded for the
best decorated bicycle representing a
brilliantly colored fish. 1t is probable
that the first prize for this division
this year will be $50 in gold, with the
second prize $25, and third probably
$40.

WHOLESALE THIEVERY ALLEGED
AND THREATS AGAINST VICTIM

Charged with the embezzlement OF
sixty suits Of clothes, thirty pairs Of
pants, thirty vests and twelve dozen
children's suits, G. X Yoon, a Korean
when he found that he was cornered,
resorted to threats against p. Joach-
i'm, of the Joachim clothing store, in
an effort to regain his liberty. The
Korean was employed by Joachim and
had been entrusted with the clothing
mentioned to take it to Manuel Mar
tin on Maui. He did not reach Maui
with the goods nor did he return TO
the store for some days, as a result
of which his employer became sus-
picious and instituted inquiries. Chief
Detective McDuffie located Yoon at
Waipahu, but before an arrest could
be made Yoon escaped back to town,
On Saturday evening about nine -thir-
ty o'clock, just as Joachim was retir-
ing for the night, Yoon presented him
self at his employers rooms in the
Majestic, pushed the door open and
entered the room. Joachim was then
partially undressed and unarmed.
Yoon pleaded for leniency, declar-
ingthat he could repay the money val
ne of the clothes to Joachim by Mon
day next, but as Joachim knew that
Yoon had tried to escape by the Mon
Uo1fa which uvoc Of ono time pyDnnt or

feel disposed to heed Yoon's appea

rooms until he had either paid up Of

sprang forward and declared that he
would cut Joachim's throat if he cal
led in the police.

BILL AGAINST
CAPTAIN HAMS

WASHINGTON, January 17-CUn
gress yesterday passed a special bill
injecting a new law among the many
which are for the purpose of ruling the
army and navy in time of peace as
well as war The new bill provides
that any officer absent three months
without leave shall be dropped from
the rolls.
This bill is a peculiar one in that
II is primarily meant to remove one
certain officer, Capt. Peter G. Hams,
Jr., from the army roster, who is now
serving a term in a civil prison for
murder.
This bill recalls the sensational
killing of'William E, Annis, publisher
and yachtsman, by Captain Hams, on
the landing of the Bay Side Yacht
Club, Flushing,' Long Island, on Au-
gust 10, 1908. At that time Captain
Hams, accompanied by his brother
Thorton j, Hams, well-known as a
writer and yachtsman, fired five shots
into the body of Annis as the latter
was standing on the landing, and the
victim died a few hours later in the
Flushing Hospital. Mrs. Annis, who
was nearby, tainted.
Captain Hams and his brother
were both arrested, and after a SEN
sational trial, in which the defense
was that Captain Hams carried Out
the precepts Of the unwritten law
he was convicted of murder in the
second degree and sentenced to g
long term in prison. Thornton Hains
was acquitted.
Captain Hams is the son of Brig.
adler Gen. Peter Conover Hams, VIII,
had distinguished career in the
Civil War and in the war with Spain
He was retired in 1904, and served
on the Panam aCanal Commission.

means at hand wherewith to defend
himself Joachim temporized and told
Yoon that he would give him until the
next day to make good the losses.
Yoon left the premises after half an
hours talking and Immediately he had
left Joachim communicated with the
police. In the meantime Yoon went
away and returned with some of the
missing goods, and while in the Ma
jestic for the second time he was APP
pretended He fought vigorously, but
was overcome.
Next morning, Joachim received a
long document purporting to come
from a Korean society, in which he
was warned that his life would be
forfeit If Yoon were arrested. The
letter was written in "pidgin" Eng
fish. 1t stated that all Koreans were
brothers, that they had banded toge-
Their in an alliance to protect each
other and that if one of their number
were injured the rest would enact g
speedy vengeance. you may not die
today, nor tomorrow, but one day we
will kill you" said the letter.
Joachim, however, proceeded with
the case against Yoon, who was
yesterday examined before Judge w
B. Lymer. He pleaded not guilty ant
waived examination, being committed
for trial in the Circuit Court if indict
ed by the Grand Jury.
A second charge of using threaten
ing language was preferred agains
Yoon and the hearing of this was con
tinued until today. Bail in thu
sum of $1,000 was allowed.
Lorrin Andrews appeared to assis
the prosecution.

INSURE SELVES
Plan Which May Be Adopted in
Omaha Because of Raise.
SAY THEY PAY TOO HIGH RATES
Some Say Their Rate Has Been
Almost Doubled During the
Last Year-statistics Are
Being Gathered.

Pronounced increases in the rates for
employers liability insurance have been
brought to the serious attention OF the
Omaha Manufacturers association. and at
the noon luncheon held Friday at the Com
mercial club several proposed plans of re-
sisting the advances in premiums were
suggested.
One plan, which seemed to meet with
hearty approval from some, is to form a
mutual insurance company composed of
employing manufacturers OF Omaha. II is
believed that lower rates could be Sc
cured in this way than through the old
line companies.
One manufacturer declared that since
the first OF the year the premium on liza
bility insurance carried by him had
doubled. but this Is not an ordinary case
The general increase is said TO be from
10 to 10 per cent The cause of the in
ereases Is said 10 lie In the adverse de-
cisions against employers in favor of the
laboring man.
Action was not taken on the matter. but
arrangements were made TO get statistics
to be submitted at the next meeting, and
on these statistics will be based the future
action of the association in the matter Of
liability insurance.

Protest Against
Base Ball Playing

Park Board Has Received Numerous
Complaints from All Sections
of the City.

Complaints against boys and young men
who have been transgressing on the park
ings OF the city. poured into the office of
the board of park commissioners Friday
morning. The professors stipuste that the
parks and even private property is being
dlsfigured to such an extent that unless
the practice is stopped the grass will be
wholly destroyed.
The park board has spent money and
devoted much time to make the parkngs
beautiful. Throughout the city. stands OF
grass have been obtained after much eff
fort Now the lads are undong the work
of years.
Ball playing on the parkings and on the
lots is the greatest evil, say the professors,
though in many instances, citizens have
worn paths by their constant tramping to
avoid the long way round. Most of the
complaints received Friday morning came
from the north or south parts OF the city.
The park board will take some action
at its next meeting to stop the evil" said
Mrs. c. d. C. Jewett, secretary. II have
eceived a dozen protests this morning
Mess the practice is discontinued, trans
gressors will be arrested and fined.
we have spent considerable money TO
get the parkings in a presentable condition.
Now that we have improved them to such
an extent that they are really beautiful
we do not propose to nave a lot OF boys

Time for Holding DispIay-StrOng
Reports for similar EXPOSE
ton In Des MOineH.

Preliminary arrangements looking toward
q big exhibit Of Omaha made goods were
made Friday at the noon luncheon of the
Manufacturers association. A great deal
OF the time was spent on a discussion of the
most likely dates for such a show, Some
suggested Land show week, and an equal
number believed that IL should be held
during Ak-Sar- Ben week. II was decided
in the end to tefer the matter 10 the board
OF directors to be threshed over.
II was assured that such an exhibit would
be given some time during the present
year. Much enthusiasm was created BY
Edwin r. swobe. who gave an account of a
similar exhibit In Des Molnes recently.
One phase OF this show which attracted
wide attention was a premium scheme In
bought the greatest variety of home made
which prizes were offered to people who
goods during a certain period. Prizes Ct
gold were offered and the whole affair was
very successful in every way. The premium
plan win no doubt be adopted by the
Omaha manufacturers.
M. Gillian, manager OF the Omaha Audi
torium, was present at the meeting, offer
ing to lend his assistance toward making
the coming show a success. He also made
brief report on the results Of the Des
Moines exhibit which is declared to be one
OF the greatest things ever exploited in that
Iowa city. The Des Mones show lasted a
week, during which time there was an at
tendance OF $4,000 The exhibit was such a
success that every foot OF space has al
ready been reserved for the next annual
