The proceeding! opened with an addresa by Mr. Connell. who explained the legal t bases of the controversy, making the point that the city could reclaim the ground un let the company lived tip to Its contract. Attorney Ranroco, representing the Iron moulders, followed by presenting their side cf the case. City Attorney Connell reported the re sult of a conference he bad had with Gen eral Solicitor Kelly on the subject. "Mr. Kelly told me," eaid Mr. Connell, "that be didn't have anything to do with the pro mulgation of the order, but that he knew of lta existence. He aald the railroad com rany expected fully to carry out all the con ditions of lta contract with the city, and that already it was building a plant on iiiuch more extensive scala than wai con templated at the time the contract was en tered Into. Instead of expending $750,000 on the shops, he said, ai wai originally planned, the company Is going to spend $1,000,000." Councilman Haacal said: "I'm In favor of adopting the resolution aa it has been Introduced, and then If the railroad com pany wants to have a controversy with the rlty, let's make It red-hot. Let us find out what the new work now In progress con templates, and then If there is no corner there for the Iron moulders I am In favor of holding the company to the strict letter and spirit of Its contract." Oblert mt t'loalaa; Feaaary. Councilman Loberk aald: "I had a talk with Mr. Kelly and be told me It would coat more to run the foundry here than the company could buy the castings for In Chi cago.

JS ft t I way: that there would be none better In all the rounfry. but that they would not Include a fouodry. because a foundry would be unnecessary. Few western railroads bad Iron foundries at their repair shops, he aid. However, as for myself. I think the company should be compelled to live tp to its contract or forfeit the ground deeded It by the city." Mayor Moores ssld: "When I signed the ordinance deeding the ground to the Union Pacific road I did so with the understand ing and belief that it would end the city's troubles with the road, and when I read here the other day that the company waa going to remove Its foundry I confess I waa startled. It looked to me as an evidence that the company waa acting In bad faith. I think we should find out at once whether the company proposes to maintain perma nent sbeps here, and If we find It doesn't propose so to do. then I would be In favor of taking bark what we gave It to secure urn a eonreasion." Councllmen spoke along similar linea and moved that the resolution be referred to the Judiciary committee with Instructions to report It to the council meeting this evening. The motion waa carried unani mously. The meeting closed with the Iron moulders thanking the council for the hearing.

There la considerable speculation among the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben as to the out come of the present aeaaon'a work, aald a member of the board. "The Innovation of abandoning the initiation only passed the board of governors by a narrow majority and la looked on by the faithful with mixed feelings of approval and regret. A self constituted committee of twenty-two old members met the ritual committee Satur day and atrongly urged a return to the plana that have been so successful In past years. Chairman Allen explained to them at length, that it waa too late for any change, aa the arrangements for the year are too elaborate and far-reaching to admit alteration. Many prominent speakers already have been Invited to be present different evenings during the summer, among them Senators Mason, Dietrich, Piatt, Vest and Bailey of Texas, and Governor Savage. The space Immediately south of the Coliseum has been leveled and will be turned Into a beautiful summer garden, where refresh ments will be served and music discoursed. Every Monday night before and after the meetings a portion of the Coliseum Itself has been fitted with billiard tablea and bowling alleys, ping pong tables, a small but complete gymnasium, shower baths and lockers. In addition particular pains has been taken with the ceremonies, which, while simple, will be solemnly grand and spectacular. "The ritual committee has every reason to believe that the membership will promptly come around to their way of thinking, as soon as the meetings com mence, which will be May 4. "Owing to the radical change above out lined, the board of governors is seriously considering the advisability of making each third Monday evening 'ladies night,' whether a small membership fee will be charged the women, if admitted, or whether the Invitation will be extended the Woman's club and the Immediate relation of the knights, is a mooted question. "The plana for the annual parade and carnival, are also far advanced. One large retail firm baa asked the board of gover nors to locate the carnival grounds on the old Murray plat, south of the courthouse. This matter, however, is yet In abeyance."

Mrs. Draper Smith gave an interesting account of the plans and prospecta of the Nebraska delegation for the trip to Los Angelea and the remainder of the hour waa given over to general sociability. An Impression has gone abroad among the club women that the club women's special train that is to take the Nebraska delega tion to Kansas City will lesve Omaha at midnight Thursday. This report has be come so generally circulated that It la feared there will be trouble. The train loaves the Burlington station promptly at 10:30 p. m. Thursday, though the berths will be made up at any time after 9 o'clock. Applications for accommoda tions have come In so rapidly of late that one coach is nearly filled. The complete representation to which Nebraska Is en titled at the biennial is seventy women and of this cumber about forty-five have so far expressed their intention of attending. The state federation will have Ita full representation of delegates and alternatea. The Lincoln delegation, which consists ot about ten women, will not go with the Omaha and atate delegation. The club women's special which leavea Omaha at 10:30 Thursday evening will be met at Kansae City the next morning by the Iowa and Minnesota delegations, which will make up the train through to Los Angeles. Local club women are planning a royal send-off for the Nebraska biennial visitors and while the committee has not divulged all of Its Intentions the travelers have reason to suspect that their departure will not be unattended with hilarity In keeping with the dignity of club women. At a committee meeting held yesterday afternoon final arrangements were made for the reception of the four trains of New England club women and the Michigan dele gation which pass through the city Friday afternoon. Each train will be met at Coun cil Bluffs by a committee of three women and at the Omaha station by a reception committee of from ten to twenty women. If time will admit of It, it is hoped to take the visitors for a car ride over the city. Some . light refreshment will probably be served at the atation and flowers will be presented to each delegation. The regular meeting of the Omaha Equal ity club will be held at t o'clock this even ing in the banquet room of the Paxton ho tel. An address by Miss Laura A.
