Mayor Knutsky has filed snother veto
with the clerk In relation to the pat sage
of a resolution by ths council regulating
the street car traffic. Not long ago Council
man O'Connor secured the passage of a
motion Instructing the city attorney to
draft an ordinance compelling the street
railroad company to operate cars betwten
the hours f f s. m. snd 8 a. m. and be
tween S p. m. and 7 p. m. at one minute
intervals.
The mayor sends In hie veto on this reso
lution or motion for the reason that such
a movement Is not for the best Interests of
the city to require any such ordinance.
"It should be the policy." says the mayor
In hia veto, "of the people of this city to
offer inducements to working people to
come here and make their homes In this
elty. and not make it a point to extend
facilities to enable them to live out of the
city." Cot.tlnuing the mayor writes:
"There should be a concerted effort on the
part of all city officials to extend and build
up the city, and I do not think that thie
would be effected In any measure by the
proposed ordinance."
When tcld about the veto that Mayor
Koutaky had filed against his proposition
for more rapid transit between Omaha and
South Omaha Councilman O'Connor sa:d
that he did not care what waa done with
the resolution as he had merely introduced
It by request.

A. L Bergqulst, secretary of the Fire
and Police board, stated yesterday after
noon that he would ask Mayor Koutsky
to reconsider his veto In connection with
the Installing of police patrol boxes. Mr.
Bergqulst asserted that he had checked
over the records and found that even with
the Installation of the boxes asked for the
board would have 631 to Its credit at the
end of the fiscal year. That is providing
the economy practiced during the first
third of the year was carried out during
the' balance of the year. Mr. Bergqulst
declares that he will appear before the city
council at a meeting to be held tonight
and endeavor to present his figures, with
a view to having the mayor reconsider his
veto. In case the mayor declines tha
council will be asked to override the Veto.

BANKERS UNION OF THE WORLD
President Kplisey Makes a Statemeat
la Regard to the Joaea
Salt. .
OMAHA, Dec. 3 To the Editor of The
Bee: My attention haa Just been called to
au item In yesteisUy evening's Bee, stating
"Action has been brought by a widow to
recover Insurance from tha Bankers Union
of the World." etc. This ile.m. which so
misrepresents the Bankers I'nion. I desire
to correct and I trust you will give the cor
rection the fame publicity in your widely
read Journal as you did tbe said item, first,
the Bankers Tnion of ths World never as
sumed the liabilities of the "Order of the
Iron Chain." Members of that order who
applied for membership In ths Bankers
Union in the usual way, on its own blank
applications and were examined by a reg
ular physician and whose applications were
further passed upon and approved and
recommended by dur supreme physician. Dr.
R. 3. Anglln, were admitted to membership
therein. To such Bankers Union policies
were issued and when these become claims
by death the said order is liable.
Second Mrs. Jones, who at one time. It
appears, heid a policy in "The Order of
the Iron Chain," never made application
to thia company for Insurance; no policy
of this sompany waa ever Issued Mra. Jones
nor any promise whatsoever was mads her
that the Bankers Union would pay any
claim that might arise under tier policy In
the said "Order of the Iron Chain."
Third Mrs. Jones never Had her member
ship with the Bankers Union and never
paid a cent to the said Bankers Union for
her insurance protection.
Further, the Bankers Union never knew
or heard of the said Mrs. Jones until this
action was commenced. If the beneflciary
of Mra. Jones had a proper claim against
ths Bankers Union It would be paid with
out any unnecessary delay.
Thanking you for space In your paper to
aet this matter right before the public,
and to give the facts in the cas which
every fair minded person will concede re
lieves the Bankers Union from unjust and
untruthful critlcixm, I am.
E. C. SPINNEY.
President Bankers Union of the World.'
OWNERS NOT TO ARBITRATE
Chicago Aaaociatiua ef Llveryssea
Hrjerta Plaa to) settle
Strike.
CHICAGO. Dec. 30. A positive refusal to
arbitrate was the decision of the joint asso
ciations of liverymen tonight on the pro
posal submitted by the striking livery
drivers. The strikers asked that the ad
justment of the whole difficulty be placed
In the hands of former members of the Chi
cago board of arbitration. The reason
given by the livery owners for their refusal
of the proposition of ths men was that
the selection of the arbitrators by the driv
ers gave the employers no voice In the
matter. Many desertions from the union
were reported today. At beadquartera of
the Liverymen's association it was claimed
that fully sixty strikers hsd applied for
their old jobs and had been put back to
work.
The Chicago Typothetae today issutd an
ultimatum to the Franklin Pressmen's
union that hereafter the scale of wge
would be US per week Instead of lis. The
places. If any who will not acctpt this re
duction, will be declared vacant.
This Is the climax of the strike of Frank

According to City Engineer Roeewater,
the City Garbage company, which has had
a monopoly on the collection and disposal
of garbage for ten years, still will control
the situation after tha expiration of the
contract December 3L unless the council
repeals part of the Advisory board rules,
which are incorporated in an ordinance
passed last fall.
"The ordinance as it stands prohibits ths
existence of city dumps along the river
bank at any point within the city limits
save between Harney and Pierce streets,"
he says. "This stretch is absolutely under
the domination of the City Garbage com
pany. Unless the council amends the ordi
nance we cannot establish the proposed
dumps al the foot of California street and
Poppleton avenue, as they ara without tha
confines. Unless the council passes the re
pealing ordinance which I have prepared,
alliens will have to continue paying trib
ute to the men who own the garbage com

"I am completing an exhaustive report
on the garbage question and shall recom

in the north end of the -Ity. another at

AT TIE PLAYHOUSE,
Mot Gailty at the Kris.
A melodrama from the nen of Joseph
LeBrandt. author of "Her First False Step."
and others of the type, opened a two nlsht
engagement at the Krug theater last night
to a fair house. The piece tells the story
of a designing nephew's endeavor to get
his uncle a money away from his cousin,
who has refused to marry him because she
loves the young engineer of her father'a
coal mine. The villain has basely wronged
a girl and has convinced her brother that
the engineer Is the man to blame. Ths
murde. is committed by this pair In order
that the money may be divided between
them and the penalty be paid by the hero.
Thia is all disclosed in the first act. and
the next three arts are devoted to working
out tha details and setting matters aright.

The Board of Governors of tha Knights
of Ak-8ar-Ben did not coma to any defi
nite conclusion regarding the Coliseum
preposition nt an adjourned meeting held
at tha Omana club laat evening. Compli
cations hava s risen aa to whether tha
Knights or owners shall stand the expense
of repairs needed to put the building In a
safe condition. These repairs. It is staled,
will entail an expenditure of about I4.0U0.
A committee of Governors Jardlne, L hi
and Pen fold waa appointed last evening to
confer with the owners of the Coliseum
this afternoon and clear the amoaphero of
anything now standing In ths way of se
curing the building for another year. One
of tha directors aaid last evening: "Whether
the Coliseum will be leased or bought. It
can be stated that the building will be put
In such shape as to disarm ail criticism as
to Its unsafeneea."
Tha present lease expiree January 1 and
carries with it an option for purchase un
til March J, so It Is thought that matters

the conference between tha committee and
the owners this afternoon.

with a force of workmen at the Coliseum

Initiatory paraphernalia to be In readiness

Too Much Holiday Fun and Folly
Too much of a good thing! That's what we are
all liable to take during a holiday season. Healthy,
jolly people will do it and make themselves sick!
"In time of peace prepare for war," and have about
the house a pleasant, perfect, palatable, positive
medicine for sour stomach, sick headache, colic,
winds, belching, biliousness, furred tongue, lazy
liver, constipation, bad breath, bad taste, all liable
to result from holiday over-indulgence. Cascarets
Candy Cathartic is what you want; a tablet after a
big meal will prevent sickness, or a tablet at night
before going to bed, after a good time, will fix you
all right for morning, and let you get up clear as a
bell, ready for business or pleasure.
