Two kinds of lights were suggested at the meeting. One is known as a twin light, with two lights, an- the other a single light.

He said the group of business men present at the meeting, acting aa a group of taxpayers, could ask the elty to maintain the lights. “Tha energl used by the lamps would be cheap. Omaha has the cheapest electric power In the coun try even including cities with water power,” he said. He said property ostners on Doug las street would liavo to ask tha tax payers of the city to pay the initial f" a-st of installing the units. I-nwer Douglas Wauls Eights.

Did you find sentence No. 3 a little too diffi cult? So did we. A careless printer tried to write hts own puzzle. And then a careless proofreader tried to doctor it up to suit himself. The result of their com bined efforts was an impossible sen tence; at least, if not impossible, it was too awkward to be practical. So Birdie Reeve, the youthful prodigy, who so astonished Orphcum audiences last week with her remark able knowledge of the English dic tionary, is unable to announce in to day's edition of The Bee the correct solution to her sentences. And be cause of the typographical errors the sentences are being republished to day and the closing hour of the con test extended to 5 r- in. Monday. II you didn'L try to solve the puzzle; last week"try them now. The prize for each correct solution is a free ticket to the Orpheum.

Scions in Tiff cn \\ orld Court Resolution to Memorialize Congress Tabled After Heated Discussion. Spfflnl Dispnlrlt to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 17.—The Ne braska legislature's time-honored rus tom of "resoluting" on hills unde. consideration In the national congress receive,] a blow today when Memhers Wildman, Reece, Gilmore and Bock came forward with a resolution which looked as though It ought to go through with a bong. It solemnly asserted that the lower house of the Nebraska legislature, now assembled, favors tlie? world court and solemnly urges congress to pass legis lation which shall make the United .States officially a member of that court. James A. Rodman threw the first rock at the resolutionlsts. Jie leaped to his feet and exclaimed: "I favor the world court, and 1 think most of the members of till* body do the same. But why waste otir time passing resolutions which won't have any effect on congress? The men who are considering this question In Washington know much I more about It than we do. Any at tempt* to influence them by resolu tions Is folly aapl a waste of time." He move,] that the resolution he tabled and the motion was carried, .53 to 13. Surah T.

Oldest Native-Born Resident of Omaha Born 69 Years Ago When Population of Town IF as Less Than 1,000 Latham Davis Recalls First Circus Came Here From Bluffs by Ferry. Sixty-nine years ago Latham Davis was horn in a eottage at Seventh and Jones streets. He will be GO on Janu tyy 21 and is the oldest living resi dent native Omahan. He now lives at 317 South Thirty-seventh street. Mr. Davis was horn one year and five months after the first sale of lots in this city, this sale following the, original’ survey completed la August, 1854. The' western boundary of the original townsite was known a* Mar Uet street, which extended from Six teenth and Jackson streets northwest to Twenty-third street and Capitol avenue. There were less than 1,000 persons in Omaha when Mr. Davis was horn. City latter Incorporated. On February 2, 1857, the territorial legislature approved the first city charter which bore the signature of .1. Sterling Morton. The first city council meeting was held on March 0, 1857, on the third floor of a brick building at 1108-1110 Farnam street. Jesse Lowe was the first mayor. Mr. Davis was beginning his second year of life when Omaha was in the gene sis of its existence as an Incorporated community. "Among’ the impressions I retain of early days in Omaha," said Mr. Davis, "was punishment I suffered in school when the teacher applied a ruler on my hands. I can in fancy see the first circus that ever same to Omaha. The show was brought over from the UluiTs on the ferry boat, which had a landing at the foot of Jones street, not far from our home at that time. I though the circus was a revelation from the wide, wide world beyond Omaha." Farnam Slreet llill. This veteran Omahan related his boyhood fear of venturing away alone too far into the country beyond the present location of Twentieth and Farnam streets. Farnam street was a hill from Fifteenth to Eighteenth and Sixteenth and Harney streets was 40 feet higher than the present level. He recalls the overland freighters taking on supplies at the establish ment of Lacy & McCormick, Thir teenth and Farnam streets. This concern operated extensively in flour, sugar, coffee, sow-belly, baking pow der. pick handles and "Julius Smith’s Old Magnolia Whisky." The block hounded by Farnam and Douglas streets. Fifteenth to Sixteenth, was known as Washington square until business demands changed its use. During his boyhood Mr. Du\is ob served Twelfth and Fnrnam streets LATHAM DAVk/9 ' JAM.Z\ 185b HEYN PHOTO I develop into a business renter. ThA iirst banking institution in Oxnahu was established at southwest corner of Twelfth and Farnarn streets by the Western Exchange Fire and Mu rine Insurance company, the succeed ing occupancy being bv Caldwell Hamilton, bankers, and later the United States National bank used til corner. Mr. Davis rememliers the Pioneer house, Twelfth street, between Far naru and llarm-y streets, the lumber for which was brought lure by steam boat. Thomas O'Connor w<s proprie tor. While out hunting near Flor ence, O'Connor accidentally discharged his gun and frightened a group of In dians nearby. Tn the district between Twelfth an 1 Eighth streets, Douglas to Jackson streets, were homes and business places of nr-n who later became prominently identified with the devel opment tit the city. Jesse I.owe. first mayor of Omaha, lived at Ninth and Harney streets, and Augustus Kountze resided at Eighth and How ard streets Near the Pioneer house was the St. Charles house, whose pro prietor was tieorge A. Jnslvn, founder of what is now known as Omaha's finest home. Ezra Millard lived -it Eleventh and Harney streets and Judge I»al;r lived In Ibe same neighborhood. Among the entertain in* rit centers of that district were Tri voli ami Turner halls. Sheriff Condit “Got Rough” Only Once in Handling 3,000 Prisoners Fremont, Neb, Jan. IT.—In 13 years of service as sheriff of Podg" county, William C.

Few Speeches in Home Lincoln, Jan. IT.—Consideration c: ratification of the federal child labor amendment has been halted lndefi nitely by action of the state senate in sending the ratification proposal to Governor Adam McMullen for hl« eopslderation. Until Governor Me Mullen sends the proposal to the sen ate there will be no action on the amendment and lobbying for ratifi cation may cease for a time. The proposal, sent from Washing ton by Secretary Hughes, was pie sented to the legislature by former Governor Charles W. Bryan with a suggestion that a state referendum he taken on ratification. Members of the senate decided it was in the province of the incoming rather than the outgoing governor to handle the proposal. McMullen Undecided. Governor McMullen stated today he would present the legislature with the proposal in the near future. He expressed himself as undecided whether to announce his own desires on the subject at the time it is pre sented or whether he would leave the matter entirely to the judgment of the legislature. For the next seven days Governor McMullen will devote practically al of his time in preparing his budget message to the legislature. Under the law the budget must be present ed January 24. That Governor McMullen will b< more generous in handling state hr stitutions than the outgoing gover nor is admitted by those in close touch with the administration. Bryan denied every request for a new state building, excepting a cell house at the penitentiary. Park Board Meets.
