Omaha cltlxen. the health commissioner
has appealed to the cfly attorney for ad

Solving the snrbane rroblem.
"Unless Immediate steps are taken to pro

result In great loss of life."' says Pr. Con
rirll. "We must do something and do It
tiuick. With the hot summer months com

ford to waste."
Two wpoks ago the city ctrrk was di

Md. the health commissioner has taken
the question of garbage collection and. dls
j Ofoil into his own hands. He proteoses
to solve it If there is any possible way' to
Co It.
In the opinion of the h"aHh commissioner,
two wuys exist In which thu collection
and dposal can be handlni. Either an
imnscncy oidlnance, declaring the neces-f-.iy
of raising funds for the purpose can
l.o pas sed by the city council, or else he
can direct contractors to collect garbage
in tho various districts, and they can look
lo the city for their money.
Dr. Cunnell prefers the emergency ordi
nance and icferred the proposition to the
ilty ut'.oniey Wednesday morning for an
opinion. City Attorney Bine Inclines to
the belief that ah emergency ordinance
may he passed on the basis of unforseen
accidents.
Are Damping Everywhere.
Garbage and refuse collectors are dump
ing tli' li' loads all over the city. Irrespec
tive of tiie ordinances, says the health
commissioner, and some regulations must
be pasfed to stop the practice.
To cicumvent this Dr. Connell proposes
to have an ordinance passed licensing and
r pointing garbage oollectora, the same as
ill other contractors who use wagons. "In
tins .nay we can keep tab on collectors and
.i ue ute them when they dump garbage
nnd refuse la vacant lots." declares. Con
nil. . .
Though the city has an srdinance govern
ing the dumping of refuse, absolutely no
piovlsion Is made for unloading; garbage.
The mrtlnances distinguish between refuse

"Hut no place exists In the city where
v o can dump garbage," said Dr.'Connell.

t iUon can be handled if we can get regu

epidemics, one after another, are liable to

authority to direct garbage collectors In
any manner."

cording to announcement made by F. C
Holllnger of the Logan Bryan company.
This comes as a direct result of the Stand
ard Oil decision. Advice from New Tork
explains that the heavy buying of Amer
ican Is based oh the Idea that the company
Is not likely to be forced to dissolve after
Its decision is handed down. The American
Tobacco company Is Involved, as was the
Standard Oil, and a decision In Its case Is
expected Monday. It Is also explained that
In any event there will be some sort of a
distribution or capital Increase following
the forthcoming decision. American To
bacco stock Is reported to be very scarce.
Mr. Holllnger says that reports indicate
that the general public Is now the buyer
of stocks, the sellers being those who
bought before the Standard Oil decision
was handed down. Since Tuesday morning
there has been a general advance all along
the list of stock, averaging from IS to 17
a share. Indications are that stocks are
going higher.

Contest is Keen for
Council Committees
Many Are After the Best Places to
Be Handed Out by the New
President
.Competition for the chairmanships of the
various council committees is as keen, if
not keener, than the struggle which finally
resulted in Councilman Louis Berka being
nominated for the presidency of the council,
Berka has the naming of the committees
and all sorts of pressure Is being brought
to bear on the prospective president. The
combination of six republicans and three
Insurgent democrats, however, will take
about all the places on the committees that
are worth while.
Whenever one of the standpatters Is
placed on a committee he will be so sur
rounded by members of the combine that
he .will practically be powerless to do any
thing unless the combine wants it.
All told, twelve committees are to be
named, but of these four the Judiciary,
finance and claims, street lighting and
publlo property and buildings are consid
ered the most Important.
Though no definite slate has-been made
for the committees it la said the chairman
ships of the Important, committees have
practically been settled. ' The' committees
will be appointed rext Tuesday night, fol
lowing the reorganisation of the council
next Monday afternoon. - .
The finance-and claims, now composed
of Sheldon, chairman, ' end Johnson and
Berka. will suffer little change. Berka
may name some 'one to replace him, but
Sheldon is the likely, man for the chairman
ship.
Funkhouser will break Into the lighting
committee again, either as chairman or a
a member. Johnson, who Is slated for !the
vlco presidency. Is the present chairman,
but, he Is willing to give way and take the
chairmanship of the publlo property and
buildings committee Instead. If these plans
prevail, he and Funkhouser will change
places on the two committees. .
Funkhouser wae formerly chairman of
the lighting committee, but was moved by
the combination when Brucker was elected
president. Joseph Hummel Is touted as
the chairman of the judiciary committee
to replace Berka.' Berka will head the rules
committee, a place that goes to the presi
dent by courtesy.
On all the committees, however. It Is
stated that there will be enough of the
combine members to dominate the pro
ceedings.
Aesthetic Dances
to Draw Big Crowds
Advance Sale of Seats Far Above All
Expectations of the Pro
, moters.
The opening ticket sale for the aesthetic
dancing entertainment to be given at the
Brandeis Saturday for the Child Saving
Institute was more Indicative of a gen
eral Interest In the affair than its pro
moters had expected. Both performances
will probably be largely attended not only
by the friends of the pupils of Mies Lew
den, who are to do the dancing, but by
hundreds of others who are inter eat ed in
the art Itself.
The musical program la to be unusually
attractive. It will be played under the
direction of Ernest Nordln by the regular
Brandela orchestra, and many of the se
lections ware made on suggestions by Mr.
Nordln.
In the Scotch scene there will be a reel
and a highland fling and In, the Irish scene
some real Jigs. Mr. Hugh Wallace, who
sings the thi-ee songs In this number, has
choaen VThe Low Back Car," by Lover;
"Believe Me it All Thoae Endearing Young
Charms," by .Tom Moore, and "Kitty of
Coleralne." from an old Irish air.
In the English scenes the orchestra will
play Ballet No. S, "Bacchanal," from
Gounod's "Faust;" a gavotte from "Iphl
genle en Audlide," by Qluck. and an old
English lyric. The other musical numbers
win be as follows:
