Hern Made.
The council lout nlaht ln.ued Inctructluna
to the city clerk to ailvcrtlwe for bids for a
fire engine to be purchased by competitive
teit; accepted the proposition of the Nott
Fire Engine company to rent a third alee
engine for four months; censured the
mayor for remarks made about the council
concerning (Ire apparatus and entirely dis
regarded his adjuration that fire engines
and all other city materials end supplloa
Must be purchased only through the ad
visory board. On all but the second propo
sition the vote was unanimous.
- Councilman O'Brien Introduced! a resolu
tion providing that the fclty physician shall
give medical and surgical attention to all
members of the fire and police departments
Injured while performing their duty when
requested by the Injured employe, a member
of his family or the mayor. It Is specified
that rio charge shall be made for the serv
ice. Report of a Committee.
The rport of the committee on fire, water
and police, signed by the three members,
Bchroeder, Back and Evans, referred to the
recommendation of the advisory board
October 20. for tile purchase of a Metropoli
tan Are engine for $6,500, and said:
In view of recent Insinuations and un
called for remarks made by his honor, the
mayor. In open session ofMhls council, as
well as before the Commercial club and
through the public press, to the. effect that
If this proposition had been accepted when
presented to this council the calamity at
the Allen Bros, fire on November 2t might
have been prevented, and that this council
collectively, and our presiding officer In
particular, were reeponeible for. the deaths
of four of our brave fire fighters, your com
mittee believes It pertinent to here state
that the acceptance of tha proposition at
that time could not possibly have Influenced
the events of that day, for the reason that
the engine was to .be chipped In 100 days
from the date of acceptance, and could not
have reached thli city before thai middle of
January next.
Instead of being " obstructionists, your
committee and the Individual members of
thla council favor the purchase of all need
fill machinery and tho very best "fire fight
ing tools" thst are to be had; and for the
purpose of securing the same believe that a
mnrougn examination ana icpi ui cumpviiiiK
engines should be made. . And, Inasmuch
aa the new engine house, where the engine
Is to be kept after It Is received, Is not yet
completed, and -there Is still ninety days'
work to be done before It Is ready for oc
cupancy, your committee believes that there
Is still plenty of time to make a deliberate,
careful examination and test of more than
one engine.
Advisory Board Ignored.
' Tha advisory board' proposition was or
dered placed on fjle. One resolution recom
mended and adopted "authorizes and re
quests" tha Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners to notify the Nott Fire Engine
company of Minneapolis that the city ao
cepta tha proposition submitted by the
company on November to, to rent Omaha
a third-class slxe engine for a period of
four months at a rental of 125 per' month.
The city will pay the freight charges to
Omaha, and tha expenses of an expert, not
to exoeed 130.. Taeaa amounts, excepting
freight, ara to go on tha price of a new
engine, provided it is bought- from tha
Nott company. Tha resolution further
"authorises and requests" tho fire and
tollce board to furnish tho company a
grauge of both local suction and leading
hoee couplings, and to request tlje ship
ment of tha engine upon ten days notice
to do so. .
Tha other resolution adopted directed tha
city clerk to advertise for blda for a lira
engine, tho notice to stats that apecifloa
tiona must ba furnished by bidders; also
that tha engines must be subjected to a
competitive test under a long set of rules
and conditions, which were given In full
in the resolution. Tho engine winning tha
most of 800 points and making the best
average performance is to be purchased
by the city within five days after tha test.
Hoys Aaka Information.
When it came to a vote on this resolu
tion. Councilman Hoya asked - Chairman
Bchroeder of tha committee who Introduced
tha resolution, who wrote tha document.
"A practical man," responded Bchroeder.
"Where did you get the material for
those conditions?" demanded Hoye.
"From practical machinists men who
know their business," aald Bchroeder.
"Mr. President. I think that's all that is
necessary," Interposed Councilman Nichol
son. Though Hoya acted as though ha
would Interrogate ' further, he sat down
without doing so, and voted "aye" on tha
resolution, after passing tho first call.
Hoya objected to ordering a rented en
gine at once, saying tho city had no place
to house it It waa explained to him that
discretion waa left with the board aa to
when the rented engine should be ordered,
but Hoya voted against the resolution. '
The' counctl accepted an invitation from
tho West Leavenworth Improvement club
to attend a meeting at Forty-eighth and
Leavenworth streets Friday night, to par
tlcluate In a discussion concerning "reason
able street car service," both aa to the

DESERTS WIFEAND FAMILY
Frank Dlckhant Decamps, leaving
Bponse and Children Without
taenne. '
"Five months ago my husband left me
and my four children. I was left destitute.
He sold off all the furniture everything
and left I have received help in my great
hour of need from, my dear friends and
lately from others, and I am so grateful."
The speaker was a woman whose hus
band, Frank Dlckhaut, deserted her and
her four children, aged 2, 6, 7 and 9 years,
while the mother was lying helpless on n
bed of pain St the county hospital,' selling
all the household goods from the little
home at Thirteenth and Spring before he
went.
"I would not say positively," continued
the wife and mother, "but I do not think
my husband went away- alone. Another
woman, r believe, went with him. I never
expect to see him again." . v
Five days ago a little missionary, who
dislikes publicity, discovered Mrs. Dlckhaut
and her flock of four helpless little ones
living, but indifferently, in the basement of
the small building at 2207 Douglas. A
month previous this deserted family of five
had no place they could call home, but a
generous hearted acquaintance took them
in, and though himself a man of family
with but scant means, he bade the home
less one's to come and live In his home and
thus It was the little missionary found
them, huddled together In the basement of
this good man's house.
Tha little missionary, In the quiet wny
missionaries do those things, spread the
news among the prosperous neighborhood
and today the deserted wife and the four
small children are enjoying comforts they
never dreamed of in their poverty and sor
row. Mrs. Dlckhaut was able to smile pleas
antly when seen by The Bee reporter, but
traces of her late sorrow and misery still
showed In the strong lines of her faoe. Bhe
professes not to know whither her reoreant
husband fled, and while she tacitly con
ceals the nam of his paramour, It la evi
dent she knovra more than aha cares to
tell.

tha committee for mora effective work, as
follows:
N. p. Dodge, securing banquet hall; Isi
dore Zlegler, publicity; Charles Foster,

Senator Hoar Suarareste If Franda Are
as Great as Claimed Ilonse of
Representatives Should I ro
pearh Someone.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. The senate to
day adopted a resolution, presented by Mr.
Hoar, calling upon the secretary of state
for the correspondence relative to claims
against the Republic of Colombia on ac
count of damages rustalned at Colon, and
calling for Information as to the responsi
bility of that government. Mr. Hoar ex
plained that the correspondence called for
relates entirely to private bills, and has
no reference to public questions.
When tho resolution for the Investigation
of the postofflce frauds came up, .Mr. Gor
man took the floor and strongly opposed
Its reference to & committee. He declared
that the majority should not shrink from
an Investigation. He said there had been
positive assertions that men who had un
lawfully placed employes on the rolls were
to escape. Mr. Gorman said fraud and cor
ruption were admitted, and communicated
to the senate by the president. He said the
country was not satisfied with the Inves
tigation, nor was the senate. Those who
had. been accused had said others higher
up were as guilty aa they, while they hava
been made scapegoats. "Let us have all
the facts," said Mr. Gorman, "and see If
the president will turn the rascals out." .
Mr. Lodge, who made the motion to re
fer, said that what Mr. Gorman aald" only
further convinced him that the resolution
should be referred. The Investigation
made under the order of the president, he
believed, had brought out all the facts.
There was a mass of evidence In the de
partment awaiting an order of' the senate
for printing. '
Investigation Ilaa Been Thorouah.
Mr. Lodge aald that as to the Insinua
tions against higher, officers, it was well
known that the postmaster general and
tha fourth assistant postmaster had made
would be well for the senate to first ex
amine the evidence to see If the Investiga
tion had been thorough.
Mr. Nelson, who yesterday gave notice
that he would move to refer, said that it
would be impolitic to take the evidence
out of the Postdfflce department now and
make It public. He said that such pro
cedure would furnish the defendants with
the papers in the department and give
them an opportunity to make a defense.
He contended that this would be Improper
while the oases were pending In the courts.
Mr. Hoar suggested that If the frauds
were as great as claimed, somebody ought
to ,be impeached and such proceedings
should originate in the house.
Mr. Cullom shortened the discussion on
the resolution by insisting that the Cuban
bill had the right-of-way. The resolution
went over until tomorrow and Mr. Teller
began a speech in opposition to the Cuban
measure. la the course of his remarks
Mr. Teller said the legislation was an
Item to strike down the Industry for the
benefit of the sugar trust. He said the
eentlment .in favor of the bill had been
manufactured In Cutfc. by General Wood.
At 4 o clock the senate went Into execu.
tlva session.
