City Hall Will Seek
to Comply with the
Smoke Ordinance
Undismayed by repeated flat failures to
secure any obedience to the smoke nut
aanoe ordinance tha city council will make
another effort to enforce it
The city's first atop to abate the smoke
nuisance was to authorise the city clerk
to advertise for bids for a stoker at the
city haU, which is one of the worst of
fenders against the ordinance.
Smoke Inspector W. A. Chiismann
was asked for some Information as to
what had been done. He said he was
powerless to enforce the law as long as
public buildings did not obey it Dome
property owners have flatly refused to
obey or even recognise the taw. he aald.
While the commissioners were discus

DEFEATED 05ES PHILOSOPHERS
Matilr Admits Rvtaratas; rasa
pelaa Cheek tent Hlsa by Mr.
Bryan, bat Bays it Waa
, Ilia eastern.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
W A HI H NX! TON, Deo. . (Special Tele
gram.) The last lap of tha Sixty-third
congress began yesterdav under conditions
suggesting somewhat tt-."Tft Inaugura
tion of lM. A cold,, on siting rain fell
throughout the day, accentuated by a
biting northwest wind, which may have
been one reason fo the falling off of tha
usual number of apoctacora In the galler
ies, who crowd those spaces at the be
ginning of every new session of congreaa
There waa a noticeably smaller number
of persona In the house galleries than us
ual when the gong aounds the ajrth of a
new session, due in large measure to the
absence of many women of congressional
households who will remain at thetr
homes throughout tha country until after
tha Christmas holidays.
There were joys and glooms for many
legislators In both branches, but tha de
feated took the "Joshing" good-naturedly,
while the victors bore their laurels with
becoming modesty. "
Jfebraskaae ea Deck.
With tha exception of Judge Klnkald
every member of the Nebraska delegation
was present at roll call in tha aenate and
house. Representatives Magulre and Bar
ton, who failed of election, took their de
feat philosophically, although Barton Waa
frank enough to say that a great many
of his friends confidently believed In his
election and ha waa impreased that way
himself.
As for Representative Magulre, ha waa
not sure of his election at any time, the
Lincoln postofflce fight having played a
considerable part In the general dissatis
faction. On tha whole ha believed he had
made a better ahowtng than could have
been generally expected In view of all the
complications. .., . ; ,
Bryan's Check' Retarned.
Asked It It was true that Secretary
Bryan had sent a check for $26 for use
In his campaign, and that ha had returned
the check to tha secretary of state with
thanks, Mr. Magulre said tha facta were
true as stated. He hastened to say, how-
over, that ha had made It a practice alnca
ha entered congress not to accept Individ'
ual contributions, and that was ona reason
why Mr. Bryan's check had been returned
to tha donor.
Messrs. Sloan and Stephens were wel
comed back with enthusiasm as both
have made strong friendship since thetr
advent to tha lower house.
Senator Hitchcock, accompanied by
Mrs. Hitchcock and their daughter Ruth
arrived In Washington yesterday. Sen-
last week, Mrs. Norria .havlna been
last week, Mrs. Nommla having been
compelled to go to Csllfor Ja on account
of the death of a sister, but will join
the senator and the children shortly at
their home on Ross Place.
With the falling of the navels today
In both houses many legislators, snrne
of them prominent Inures for years in
the political life of the nation will retire
to the shades of private life, for this Is
their last session unless political changes
should once more return them to the
places they will leave at noon of March 4.
grantors Whe Depart.
Senators Root of New Tone, Burton ot
Ohio, Perkins of California, Brlstow of
Kansas, Crawford of South Dakota,
Stephenson of Wisconsin all republicans
and Thornton of Louisiana and White
of Alabama, democrats, will go out of
office at the end of the session.
In the house. Representative Underwood
of Alabama, Hard wick of Georgia and
Broussard of Louisiana are serving their
last terms before their elevation to the
aenate of the Sixty-fourth congress.
While they go to tha more distinguished
body, a very goodly number of demo
crats In tha housa wl'l be missed In the
next congress for November last blew
oold and chill to tha ambitions of tha fol
lowers of President Wilson.
They will ba succeeded In a goodly
number of Instances by old wheelhorses
of the republican party, notably Uncle
Joe Cannon, W. B. McKlnley of Illinois,
Wayne Parker of New Jersey, Ebenser
Hill of Connecticut, CySulloway of New
Hampshire, "Billy" Rodenberg of Illinois.

Omaha to Renew Its
Membership in Kiver
and Harbor Congress
When 3. W. Gamble and . Robert II.
Manley atep Into tha. convention ot the
National Rivera' and Harbors' Congress
at Washington this week they will open
relations for Omaha' with that body' for
the first time In several years. The two
mun went to Washington Monday night
as delegates from the Omaha Commercial
club, which was a member of the National
Rivers' and Harbors' Congress some
years ago, but dropped that membership
because for a time it seemed as though
Omaha had nothing In common with that
body.
Now that Interest la renewed in the
prospects of navigating the Missouri
liver from Omaha to Kansas City the
club has decided to re-establish Ita mem
bership In the Rivers' and Ilsrbors Con
greaa and has sent these two men to
represent it In the Washington meeting.
