One-Horse-Power Steam
Roller Gets in its Work
at City Council Meeting
Acting Mayor Dyer Operate it Single-Handed and Rides
Rough-Shod Over Other Council Members and
Members of the Civic Club.
The toot of the steam roller sound
ed in the council halls lost evening.
And It was a most ruthless toot, too.
It disregarded all other noises and,
though for awhile voices of protest
contested with It, eventually it drown
ed out and suppressed all other
sounds, and was supreme for the ev
ening. The steam roller In evidence last
evening wasn't an elegant affair. It
was none of these rollers so ingen
iously planned, so well oiled, so sci
entifically managed as to be almost
Invisible while doing Its crushing
work. No; last night', steam roller;
aa iiu umrvvi 01 liiecuaniBUl. u was
crude, almost primitive In its crude'
neas, but none can gainsay It was ef
fective, most amazingly so.
It was a one horse power roller and
was personified by Acting Mayor
John Dyer. Single handed and alone
he operated the machine that rode
rough shod over four or more of his
mates and a half dozen ladles of the
Civic Club, leaving them helplcsi and
gasping at the sheer audacity of the
thing.
The acting mayor ran his roller list
night for a purpose and he accom
plished It. He struck the proposition
lo purchase park land on the north
side just as It was starting to rise
again and he flattened It so that It
will not be able to pick lUelf up fjr
a week. And a week was necessary
for the competition of what certain
members of the council term a plan
on the part of Mr. Dyer to circum
vent and block the matter In ques
tion. This plan exposed Its outlines al
most as soon as the council convened.
The first papers read by Acting Re
corder Haliey were six petitions ask
ing the council to purchase land in
the east and west ends of the city for
park purposes. While some of the
petitions were unquestionably circu
lated by persons sincerely In favor of
the park idea, other circulators made
no pretense but that they were da
signed as a counter to the north side
proposition, and there are members
of the council who assert that the
fine Italian hand of the acting mayor
was back of the appearance of all of
the petitions.
"These petitions will be referred
to the finance committee with instruc
tions to take a week to consider
them and to investigate the feasihll-

British Ship
Sank by Turks
LONDON, May 27. The British
battleship Triumph has been sunk in
the Dardanelles. This official an
nouncement was made here last night.
The disaster to the Triumph Is de
scribed In a brief statement by the
admiralty, which says that while op
erating In support of the Australian
and New Zealand forces on the shore
of the Oalllpoll Peninsula the Tri
umph was torpedoed by a submarine
and sank shortly afterwards.
, Most of Crew Saved.
The majority of the officers and
men. Including the captain and com
mander, are reported to have been
saved.
The submarine was chased by de
stroyers and patrolling small craft
until dark.
The battleship Triumph was built
at Barrow In 1902 for the Chilean
government, but was bought by Great
Britain In 190J. She was laid down
under the name of Llbertad and was
a sister ship of the Constitution, which
also was bought from Chile and re
ohristcned Swlftsure.

If the Nebraskan was torpedoed by

there Is no evidence that the Nebraa

means to the girl pupils when they
attended the first annual May Fete at
Round-up Park, presented by the
high and grade school girls under the
direction of Miss Ceclle Boyd, physical
instructress. There were few there
who, beneath their enjoyment of the
dancing, did not feel an appreciotion
for the grace of movement which
such directed exercise and pastime
had accomplished in those partlclpat
ng.
Dance after dance, every one sim
ple, innocent and wholesome, was ex
ecuted with a grace and orettiness
er girls. With a warm sun shining
down upon the green sward and the
brightly costumed figures expressing
by airy movement the spirit of spring
time, the scene was one most symbol
ic of the season.
It would be difficult to praise one
set of dancers over another. Flower
iSirl,. June bugs, shepherdesses. Dutch
maidens, Greek girls, queen's attend
ants and peasant girls, they all went
through their various steps with most
charming grace, and the solo dance,
preliminary to the crowning of the
queen, by Miss Thelma Thompson,
was beautiful and done with artistic
finish.
On the whole the May Fete was a
triumph, both aa a feature of the
commencement festivities and as an
exemplification of the value of folk
dancing in the schools.
