An old, plainly-dressed woman, her face gridironed by myriads of wrin kles and her frail-looking frame bent by years of" toil, paused as she walked past the federal building and gazed questioninj y at the large crowd gath ered abolJVfthe Capitol avenue en trance. She walked with faltering steps to the outskirts of the several hundred persons who had assembled for the semi-annual auction sale of uncalled for United States mail. Jostled forward and backward by the bidders and the curious, the lone ly old woman paid but scant attention to the "What am I bid" human fog horn who "knocked down" packages of every-description shoes, bottles of perfume, insect powder, blankets, jewelry, stock food, French novels, and what not. The aeed and apparently uninter ested spectator started to thread her EIGHT PER CENT TO LIGHTCOMPANY Commercial Club Committee Makes Liberal Earning Al lowance to Electric People., COUNCIL REFERS REPORT In the absence of J. A. Sunderland, chairman of the special committee of the Commercial club of Omaha on electric light and power rates, Fran cis A. Brogan, a member of that com mittee, presented to the city council committee of the whole a partial re port of the operations of the .Omaha Electric Light and Power company from 1889 to 1915. Explanation was made that another expert will be engaged to determine a schedule of rates the company should charge, based upon the find irigs of the engineers and accountants who have been at work for a year. ' The gist of the partial report is that the committee finds -that a fair investment valuation of the light nlanr is 4.769.506: that 8 per cent return on that valuation should be al lowed, this amount being $JBl,S6U., and that under the schedule of rates in effect August, 1915, the committee recommends a reduction of $80,000 a year ' f rom ;the total 'revenue.- The committee makes no attempt to sug gest how this proposed reduction should be applied to the present rates. Another expert' will be engaged for that part of the work. Valuation and Earnings. Commenting on the valuation fig ures adopted by the committee the report reads: "But we have conclud ed that the valuation og $4,769,506, is not unfair to the company and its. stockholders, and constitutes a neces sary reduction from the values claimed by it and from those recom mended by the experts, in oraer to do justice to the consumers of the company." The valuation total mentioned U divided as follows: Physical value of plant, $3,194,680.58; working capital, $241,298.20; development expense, $730,000;, amount in depreciation re serve, $583,528. ' On the subject of reasonable re turn, the report reads: "We find that, beginning with June 30, 1915, and for a reasonable period following that date, until conditions shall have changed, as may be hereafter deter mined, a reasonable rate of return to be allowed this company on the amount of its investment is 8 per cent per annum on the invested capi tal; that is to say, 8 per cent on $4, 769,506, amounting to an annual re turn of $381,560." The committee finds that when the company stopped installation and re newal of incandescent lamps there was an annual addition of $30,000 to revenues of the company.' During the year ending June 30, 1915, the le gal expenses of the company amount ed to $73,531, referred to as "extra ordinary." The city council accepted the par tial report of Ihe committee without comment, referring the documents to the city legal department for perusal. Not Binding on City. The council has taken the position that the findings of the Commercial club's special committee have no binding effect upon the city, but the information offered by the commit tee will be considered for what it may he worth. The personnel of the, Commercial club's committee is: J. A. Sunderland, F. A. Brogan, F. ). Farrington, George H. Kelly, F. S. Knapp, T.' J. Mahbney, F. H. Meyers, H. A. Thompson, J. L. McCague and W S. Wright. Rate Ordinance Goes Over. The city council referred for another week Butler's 6-cent electric light ordinance, with other docu ments relating to the electric light situation. Commissioner Jardine an nounced once more that he would vote fo a 6-cent ordinance, provided that the city blocks the rates in the ordinance. Corporation Counsel Lambert and Commissioner Butler maintain that the city should fix the primary rate at 6 cents and let the light company do its own blocking of rates.

CORONER'S JURY CENSURESFIREMEN Charge Men Refused to Re move Mrs. Malmberg from Burning Dwelling. MIGHT HAVE SAVED WOMAN Anfelt Peterson, 3022 Evans street, and Mrs. Minnie. T. Wiggs, 3230 Ev ans street, testified at a coroner's in quest Monday afternoon that firemen of Company 11, Thirtieth and Spaul ding streets, refused to remove Mrs. Hulda Malmberg, 3047 Evans street, from the basement of her residence, which was burning, until they were given orders by the chief. Both Peterson and Mrs. Wiggs as serted that they arrived at-the Malm berg residence Saturday morning at 4 o'clock, at practically the same time as the department. That they could see the form of the woman through a basement " window, lying on the floor, and that the firemen absolutely did nothing toward removing her until at least twenty or twenty-five minutes afterward, when she was brought to the outside, where she died, were further allegations. With this evidence the jury ' rer turned a verdict that Mrs. Malmberg came to her death from suffocation, and censuredtne memDera oi uim at once. Units of the company so censured assert that it was practi cally Impossible to reach Mrs. Malm berg immediately, while no fireman admits making such a statement as that which the two witnesses attrib ute to them. Mr, Malmberg, who was injured in a fall from he second story of the burning dwelling, is reported to be improving by those attending him at the Wise Memorial hospital.

NOTHING CAN STOP THEM Pull Up Trees by Roots and Go on Over Logs and All Obstacles. WALK THROUGH FORESTS Washington, Sept. 18. The British tanks," the armored motor cars used n recent assaults on German trenches in northern France so suc cessfully as to, attract world-wide at tention, were built, for the most part, in Peoria, III., in the form of caterpil lar tractors, designed many iy ears be fore the war began "to meet some of the difficult problems of modern farming. Except for their armor, their machine guns and their crews, thousands like them are in use today in the United States in plowing, dig ging ditches, and other labors less heroic than war. M. M. Baker, vice president of the Holt Manufacturing company, ex plained i here today that it was ma chines made by hi company at its Peoria plant that had hurdled through German trenches, walked through forests, and crawled over shell craters in the face of intense gun fire. Did Not Arm Them. "We have sold about 1,000 cater pillar tractors to the British govern ment," said Mr. Baker. "We have had nothing to do with putting armor on them or placing machine guns, but some of our men at Aldershot, England, recently were notified that th British government intended to armor some of the tractors and use them for work other than the usual towing of big guns. "Germany had some of these trac tors before the war besan. and, al though I do not understand just how it occurred, I believe she may have gotten others since then. We have sent some to France and some to Russia. So far as I know, up until the recent appearance of the motor cars the tractors were used only to tow big guns. I understand that Germany had about forty of them in war, and recent photographs show that the British are using .some ot them now for the same purpose. Can Co Over Anything. Mr. Baker said he did not know how many of the tractors sent to England had been armored and put in service, nor did he know what equipment the British war office had placed upon cars to be used in this work. ' "It is true," said Mr. Baker, "that these tractors can go ahead over al most anything or through almost anything. They can straddle a trench, go through a swamp, roll over logs or climb through shell craters like a car of Juggernaut. It looks uncanny to see them crawl along the ground, just like. a huge caterpillar. In a thick forest, if they encountered trees they could not brush out ot tneir way. they could easily be used to uproot them and clear their own patns. Mr. Baker said the tractors sent to England weigh about 18,000 pounds each, develop 120 horse power and are built of steel. I he caterpillar tea ture, he explained, is of the utmost importance. Speaking broadly, the tractor crawls on two belts, with cor rugated surfaces on either side of the body. The corrugated surface is on the ground. On the inside of the belts, on each side f the body, are two lines of steel rails, making fonr lines in all. Easy to Turn. "These rails are in short sections. jointed , and operate over a cogged mechanism that actually lays them down with their 'belt attachments as the tractor moves ahead, and picks them up aj(ain, so that the car runs on its own self-made track continu ously. The short joints in the rails make it easy to turn to right or left. 1 he bodv is suoDorted by trucks with five wheels, something like small railroad trucks. These wheels never touch the ground, but run upon the steel rails. In the ordinary tractor about sevent feet of belt and rails are on the ground at one time. The width ot the track used on the machines sent to England," Mr. Baker said, was twenty-four inches. He declared that the ground pressure is about three pounds per square inch where a thirty linch track is used, or less than that of the toot of either man or horse. Although Mr. Baker would not dis cuss the matter, it was understood the United States War department is experimenting with armored trac tors somewhat like those now in use on the British battle line.
