resyor and clly council power to order
street lmpro e meni without petition from
property ownr In a radius of .OXt feet of
the city lull amended. hot fight will
be precipitated when the bill ccmn up for
passage.
ThoiiRh Mnr Dahlman. who as 3
member nf the committee which framed
the original Mil, and who fathered the
proposed revision, he slated that he
will not oppose an amendment making the
limits 4.VK) feet, a at present, no active
steps have been taken to rorrt-pt the provi
sion. A difference of nplnlnn exists as to
whether the hill will pass with the limits
t 7.OT0 feet, t'ltv Attorney Rlne. who With
Councilman Berka. were the other mem
bers of the committee, says the bill will
pass as It Is If the Omaha delegation at
Lincoln desires to shove It through. The
cltv attorney la Inclined to stick 10 the
I'mlts aa proposed by the revision. He
thinks the limit should be Increased a mat
ter of 2 MO feet.
Hut there are those who differ wlih Mr.
Rlne. The opposition aays It la a simple
matter to make the amendment and thus
avoid a fight, which will undoubtedly be
precipitated ahould the original drafters
of the bill atlck for the T.O00 feet limit.
It ha been suggested that Representa
tive Morlarty. who Introduced the bill Into
the house, be asked to strike out the
figures and words (7.000 feet) and substi
tute 4 MO. If auch a request Is made. It Is
rartaln that Mr. Morlarty would make the
hange.
Kf foils are being made to get the com
mittee to make this request. If the mem
bers refuse, there will be some hot time
In Lincoln when the bill comes up for debate.
Railroads to Make
. the Eleventh Street
Viaduct Some Larger
Burlington and Union Paoifio Each
Plan Some Additioni to
Switching Yards.
The beginning of construction work on
the new Eleventh street viaduct 1 held up
pending certain (data from the Purllngton
railway officials, according to City En
gineer Craig.
Recently an ordinance waa passed by the
rlty council directing that the city en
gineer draw plane and specifications for
the new viaduct. The railroad companies
were also instructed to get busy. Since
nothing has been heard of the ordinance
and any part of the viaduct has failed to
materialise. But the plans will be ready
In about two weeks, aays the city engineer.
"I requested data from the Union Pa
oifio and Burlington, the two road Inter
ested directly," said Mr. Craig. "The Union
Paclflo baa furnished such data, but the
Burlington has not responded. However, I
expect, this Information within a day or
two. Then. the office will be enabled to
go right along with the plans.
- It Is rumored that both railways plan ex
tensive additions to the switching yards
and for this reason have been slow tn
starting anything on the viaduct. If pres-
't)t plans materialise, the viaduct will
be extended south and possibly north,
which means the construction of an en
tirely new viaduct.

Hecretary Peter Palmer of the Nebraska
Cement fsers' association, wlio has been
in Omaha for the last week, has all
preparations about completed for the Mld
W'pyt Cement exposition, which Is to open
In the Auditorium Wednesday. The expo
sition will continue through three days,
closing Friday night.
The annual convention of the Nebraska
Cement Users' association will be held In
Omaha while the exposition Is In progress,
and a great many cement makers, dealers
and ueera will also be In attendance from
the whole mid-west country. Contractors
and supply merchants will also be numer
ously In evidence. "They will find this a
most favorable opportunity for making
connections with the live wires of the
trade," said Mr. Palmer, "and there will
be Installed in the Auditorium most elab
orate exhibits not only of cement product,
but of all kinds of cement conetructioo
machinery- In this respect the exposition
will come pretty near being Wis greatest
yet organized In this country In this par
ticular line."
President H. C. McCord of Columbus and
other Interested men of the trade have de
voted a good deal of attention to planning
for the success of this Cement Products
exposition. Mr. McCord . talks most en-
H.C.TvIOOKD -IRES
thuslastically of cement as "nature s great
remedy for the decrease in timber produc
tion and the one available and plentiful
substitute for the vanishing forests."
Every foot of space has been taken in
the great building where the exhibits will
be shown, and the assurance Is thus given
that such a display of cement product and
machinery will be made as has not yet
been seen In the west. Nebraska cement
products alone 'will occupy sixteen booths
on the north and south sides of the build
ing, and In the balc-nles and under the
stage every foot of space will be occupied.
Over fifty separate booths for exhibits are
provided on the arena floor. sl
This Mid-West Cement exposition has
been organized and will be held under the
auspices of the Nel.raska Cement t'sers'
association. Home builders, aa well as
those directly concerned In the manufas
ture'of cement products, will find many
things to Interest them. Arrangements
have, bren made for complete exhibits In
every department of the business from
curbs to bridges, from hitching posts to
houses. Cement silos, grain containers,
railroad ties, blocks, culverts and a' hun
dred other different articles will be shown
In the various booths.

BOY IN BAD FAMILY MIXUP
Parents Are Both Hmarrle4 aad Eack
Makes Claim far the Passes
slow of h Child.
No jie of the stage ever offered such
marital complications as did the case of
l-year-old, flaxen haired, Walter Henry
((Odder, whose large. Innocent eyes looked
confidingly into those of Judge Kennedy In
Juvenile court .Saturday. In this case ad
herents of the necessity of divorce might
have been answered with Irrefutable logic.
On one side was a weeping mother, draw
ing the child close to her even now, fight
lng to retain her boy. 6he had divorced
1 the father of the child In November, 1909,
and had married the man behind her two
months later. On the other hand, was the
father of the little lad and the boy's grand
patents on his side. It was he who brought
the rase Into court, charging that, the child
was neglected by Its mother, whom, he as
sert sd, gave him whisky and beer and al
lowed him to frequent the saloon where
his stepfather tended bar. The father ad
mitted, after questioning, that he. too, had
remarried before the time allowed by the
court. He aald he had found the boy In
rags and had clothed him, and that every
thing he wore at this time had been
bought by him.
The father produced a letter from his
former wife In which aha asserted the
rhild eould see him occasionally, but could
never visit his grandparents. She defended
herself on thla ground by saying that
every time the lad went to his grand
parents he came home sassy and spoke
. disrespectfully to his stepfather.
Judge Kennedy said the boy should not
be deprived of the pleasure of visits to his
grandparents. It was a Joy that bo)s
never forgot. "It la bad enough to de
prive the boy of one of his parents. It
would be worse to deprive him of both."
After duH'uaalng the matter thoroughly It
wss decided to postpone further hearing In
the cuie for two wreWs until things could
be fully Investigated.
Rosewater Tells
of the Movement of
Settlers to the West
Luncheon it Given t Commercial
Club to Show Management
and Exhibitori.
Dwellers in tenements may obtain
work,-si farm laborers, snd competent
farmers from the eastern regions
may find generously good opportuntles for
their skill In the west, according to C. C.
Rosewater, In a speech at the Commercial
club Saturday noon. Mr. Rosewater was
one of the guests of honor at a dinner
tendered by the Commercial club to the
managers and exhibitors at the Omaha
Land show.
"I don't believe that the poverty stricken
tenement Inhabitants of the large cities are
the people who shall fill up the habitations
of the west which are now uninhabited,"
he said. "I believe the tendency Is for
farmers of the cast to move westward ami
for the land at all times to remain under
the cultivation of skilled agriculturists.. For
ages the eyes of the white race In America
have been turned westward and the same
litigatory instinct now prevails. But It Is
not the population of the overcrowded
cities, the hordes of Incapable city slum
dwellers who are able to settle upon and
develop the land. There Is a place for the
tenement population as farm laborers on
the western farms, but not aa farm own
ers.
'People do not have to come from the
east coast to the west coast; the westward
ho trend la carried out by people from one
state moving Into ths next state west and
so on, ana the land is gradually being
taken up In capable fashion."
Mr. Rosewater explained that the press
filled the funotlon of exploiting the weetern
lands in a general way, and that It was up
to the land owners to actually Influence
Individuals Into moving from the east into
the west.
Men representing South Dakota, Wyom
ing, Montana, Idaho and Arlsona were
present at the meeting. Chairman Haver-
tick of the Commercial club presided over
the luncheon. David Cole, president of the
club, made the opening address. . R. C
PetUbone and H. O. Livingston were the
other speakers of the occasion.

Diplomas of graduation from a four
year course In the Omaha High school were
presented to the first class ever grad
uated from the school at the mid-year
commencement. The Inauguration -of the
mid-year graduation of students saw
twelve young men and women, represent
ing the first mid-year class of thirteen
members, Miss Emily Chase being unable
to attend.
The initial graduation took place In the
auditorium of the First Methodist church
which was filled In every available space
with the parent and friends of the grad
uates. Superintendent of Schools W. M.
Davidson presided At& the final Step of
the twelve studants out of the Omaha
publlo schools was made as ceremonious
aa possible. The church was decorated
with flowers, palms and ferns, with a few
ribbons of the class colors, white and
gold, among the flowers.
On the platform with Dr. Davidson were:
Prof. K. l, Graff, principal of the high
school; Miss Kate Mcllugh, teacher ot
the class; Dr. George E. Vincent, president-elect
of the University of Minnesota
and speaker of '.he evening; Alfred C
Kennedy, president of the school board
and R. V. Cole of the school board.
Ktiaal Rights for All.
Dr. Davidson made a snort statement
regarding the Inauguration of the mid
year commencement. Ue declared that for
some years the board had felt there was
a lack In the proceedings of graduation
from both the high and elementary schools
In February. It had been felt, he said,
that the students who entered or grad
uated In February had not an equal share
of the pleasures, nor the facilities of grad
uation and that thia had often kept pupils
In schools a half year after they ahould
have been able to leave If they so wished
It is the intention hereafter to make the
mid-year commencement equally Important
with the June commencement.
Rev. John Matthews, pastor of the First
baptist church, pronounced an Invoca
tlon, and an anthem was sung by the
choir of the First Methodist church,
'i'laylhg the Uanie," by Dr. Ueorge K.
Vincent, the address ol the evening, cov-
rieu every (iemrabiluy of a talk to a group
of young men and women stepping into the
He of tile world.
Dr. Vincent's address was founded merely
upon the love ot the human race tor some
Kind of competitive contest, yet It held ail
the possibilities and philosophy ot life In
its simpla niorala. lie admitted that lit
ass called by various philosophers an
Imagery, a highway, a sea on which to em
uark, a baltiu to be lougnt, and a luttei
of chance, but he atlil Insisted that it was
a game, In which the handicapping might
u bad at the start and the Judging poor at
me finish, but In spite of these defects, a
..me.
im at lb Finish.
The speaker described In swift and ap
plicable terms the games of the world, of
old a recce, of the middle ages, and the
games of today over the world, tine of
the must striking ot his Illustrations was
what looks to most Americans like a comic
Opera or a disgraceful cruelty the Span
ish bull tight. The hisses ot the
crowd when the matador allows the buii
to pass hiin time and time again are as
nothing to the holder of the sword, for he
has learned the lesson that it Is better to
be there at the finish rather than at the
start.
"The games of today have built up a
code of ethics, of honor, a system of rules
It which they must be played. You can
tell the real sportsman from the sport by
his actiot.s while playing the game.
"The sportsman la seen aa different from
the sport before the game, because he is
quiet, while the sport Is vaunting his
prowess. The sportsman shows up even
more distinctly after the game by his
manner of taking a victory or defeat. The
siMrt howla after defeat, the sportsman
accepts It. and the sport boasta after win
ning, while the sportsman, although Just
as happy over winning. Is careful of the
feelings of others. And during the game
the sportsman abides by both the spirit
and the letter of the laws of the game.
The Joy f l.lvliiav.
'It Is a fine thing to do your work from
a sense of duty, but It la a tragic thing
always to be on duty and lose all Joy of
living," was one of the doctor's philosophies.
'Emulation, comradeship and loyalty1
should have a part In playing the game
as we bid godspeed." hp sa d. "Remember
the community Is the team. Our world
would be better If politicians and business
men would all play the game. , Keep your
self-respeot and live with dignity, serenity
and happiness.'"
Miss. Gertrude Miller, the only member
of the olass partaking -In i the program,
sang two songs, "Kertnala'' and "I Know
Ijovely Garden if her part of the
program. The presentation of the certifi
cates came at the dose. Charles Raymond
Atsen, second lieutenant of Company u
of the high school regiment, received his
certificate of cadet service and President
Alfred C. Kennedy presented the twelve
students present with their diplomas.
