(osalp.
Now that the fall election Is over mem
bers of the rlty council are beginning to
i talk about the chAnglug of ward boundary
' lines. It Is asserted that the Sixth ward
line should be run on a straight line either
up Twenty-third or Twenty-fourth street.
It will be rememhered that at the time the
present Sixth., waid wag laid out a jog was
made for the benefit of V. B. Vansant, who
was appointed a member of the council by
A. R. Keriy, then mayor. It was the same
with the Firth ward, when Ed Johnston was
named.. Politicians- hold that the Sixth
ward HnoB should be changed and that the
Fifth ward mlgnt be reduced in size.
The best suggestion seems to be to di
vide the wards by the Union Pacific tracks.
This, it Is stated, will avoid confusion and
will obviate the necessity of persons liv
ing In the eastern part of the Fifth ward
from going to the lumber yards -in the cen
ter of the tracks to register and vote. It
is estimated that a large number of votes
in the Fifth ward have been lost by both
parties by having the voting precinct at
the lumber yard.. By a change in the ward
lines1 the precincts would bo altered and It
Is asserted that voters would be better ac
commodated than they are now. The same
Is true of registration, as the voting and
registration places are practically the same.
As Is to be expected, the democratic ma
jority . In tho council are looking for the
best of It. , However, they represent to out
siders .that they will be fair and that If the
ward lines are changed that each party will
be given representation. Outside of poli
tics the Idea seems to be' to Shorte'n the
walk of the voters to the registration booths
and the polls. Little complaint is heard
from the Third and Fourth wards. As for
the Second ward it appears to be all right
and the chances are that no change there
will be made.
Borne of the councllmeri favor cutting the
Fifth ward and making a Seventh ward, but
It Is hardly probable that this will be done
unless there Is a change in the present
charter, which provides for six wards.
. . I ndersjronnd Wires.
It was reported On the streets yesterday
that an ordinance was soon to be intro
duced in the city council providing for the
placing of both telephone and electric light
wires undergrpund. For the last few months
the Nebraska Telephone company has been
engaged in placing the wires 10 the business
portion of the city in cables and thus re
ducing the number of overhead wires to a
great extent- It Is almost the same with
the Electric Light company. Some weeks
ago The Bee announced that contracts had
been made by the Thomson-Houston com
pany for the laying of conduits across M
street. This work is to commence with the
next few days. An ordinance will, so it was
stated last night, not hurry mattera any,
as there seems to be a desire on the part
of the companies mentioned to place their
wires under cover.

suggestion of Mayor Koutsky, yesterday
asked for the resignations of Captain I.
J. Buckley of hose company No. S, and
Louts Sandwich, a member of fire com

MOVE AGAINST CIGAR TRUST

Healers' Interests.
At a meeting of the retail cigar dealers
and Jobbers at Washington hall last night
io wnicn me ptiDiic was invited, many
speeches were made in opposition to the
cigar trust and reasons advanced for the
organization of the retailers to fight the
trust. Secretary Butler announced that
out of 133 dealers sixty-five had Joined the
local organization. He opposed the idea
of the hustling committee appointed at a
former meeting and in Its place recom
mended that every member secure one new
member before the next meeting.
I. J. Dunn was the principal speaker of
the evening. It was not the purpose of the.
local organization, he said, to fight any
ono, but to protect the retail dealers.
Graham Davis, representing a New York
firm, followed with a strong talk against
the trust and what the retailers were doing
in Chicago and New York to fight it. The
trusts were making the greatest fight on
tobacco and the tobacco dealers had a
harder struggle before them than the cigar
dealers, he said. There were 2,210 mem
bers of the local organization In Chicago,
he said, and the membership was growing
every day. In New York, be said. 1,000
dealers attended the first meeting. He
urged dealers to push the goods of the in
dependent manufacturers.
A representative of the McCord-Brady
company aald he was not speaking for the
firm, but that It likely would be in tho
band wagon with the Independent dealers.
C. E. Williams said he was selling more
Independent tobacco than the trust made,
because he was shoving the former. Sev
eral wholesale dealers who had been In
vited failed to have a representative pres
ent. O. E. Williams, first vice president,
presided. A large number was present.

MAYOR AGAIN STATES HIS OBJECTIONS

Snt Meet Requirements a
Money for It Is ot l.esally
Available.
As was confidently expected by the rlty
council. Mayor Moorea returned to that
body last evening bis veto of the contrsct
and bond of the city with Charles W. Part
ridge, for the construction of the Capitol
avenue market house; and as had been
threatened, the council promptly overruled
the veto by an affirmative vote of seven,
Mr. Whltehorn being excused from voting
and Mr. Mount, the only member who
would have voted to sustain the veto, being
absent. The veto message was as follows:
I return herewith without my spproval
document No. 2S72. passed by your honor
able body at your last regular meeting, No
vember 4. 1902. This document Is a contract
and bond between Charles W. Partridge ard
the city of Omaha tor the erection and
completion of a market house In Capitol
avenue. I veto this contract and bond of
Charles W. Partridge for the following rea
sons:
First That the proceedings required to be
taken to protect the city against claims and
suits for damages by reasin of the appro
priation anil using of the portion of Cap
itol avenue proposed to be used have not
been taken.
Second That the constrjctlon of the pro
posed market house on Capitol avenue will
not meet the needs and requirements of
the city of Omaha and Is a mere tempo
rary makeshift. In the first place, the loca
tion Is not a suitable one for patronage by
the public generally. In the second place
the size and character of the proposed
structure Is utterly Insufficient for a city
like Omaha.
Ihlrd 1 also veto and refuse to approve
said contract or bond for the reason that
the proposed expenditure of $11,98" of the
money belonging to the general fund is not
only Illegal, but utterly unjustifiable. In
view of the present condition of the gen
ersl fund and existing outstanding liabil
ities which should be paid In place of di
verting said fund as proposed to a market
hojse. The diversion of this amount of
money for this purpose will certainly leave
an overlap at tne end or tne present nscai
year, and there will then be liabilities cre
ated bv the mavor and council Which of
necessity must remain unpaid. The direct
result of thus diverting this money, In view
of these outstanding existing obligations, is
to create a liability against every official
who votes for or aDDroves this contract.
For one. I do not prooose to make my bond
liable for this unauthorised and excessive
expenditure.
The resolution of the council author
izing the Board of Public Works to execut-
the contract with Mr. Partridge was also
returned with the mayor s veto and was
enacted notwithstanding the veto, by an
affirmative vote of 8, Mr. Whltehorn vot
ing with the majority on this proposition.
Asphalt Company Wants Bonds.
A proposal was received from the Barber
Asphalt company to exchange the city war
rants to be Issued to it In payment for the
pavement of districts 767, 769, 803 and 804
for the city bonds to be Issued to pay those
warrants, the bonds to be taken by them at
par. This communication was referred to
the committee on finance and claims.
The city clerk reported that W. J. Hunter
and Victor Rosewater had duly qualified as
members of the Board of Review.
A petition from Rocco Brothers and about
fifty other business men of the Third ward,
asklog that the old street car tracks on
Eleventh street from Tweffth snd How
ard streets to Eleventh and Jackson streets
be torn up for the reason that they were
of no usa and were a detriment to the
street, was referred to the.' tlty ' engineer
to be reported upon at the next meeting.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
city engineer to proceed with the plan of
assesaraent for the opening of Central
boulevard from Hanscom park to Burt
street In accordance with the previous in
structions of the council.
By resolution provision was made for
refunding the various sums of money paid
by market gardeners for market stalls or
spsce on Capitol avenue for the present
year and the comptroller was instructed
to include these amounts in the next ap
propriation ordinance to come out of the
general market fund. The claims amount
in all to about $500.

HAVANA. Nov. 11. The Planters' aoctety
Is being severely attacked by' the radical
press, mhlcb claims that the movement to
organize branches of the society Is being
carried on In the interests of annexation.
The radical element in the house of rep
resentatives Is urging the .formation of a
f Poor Improves. Ways Dr.
Hawerth.
In his lecture last night st the First
Congregational church on "Wallh snd
Want" Dr. Ira W. Howerth, referring to
the common theory of the enormous in
crease in wealth during the last century
without corresponding increase In the gen
eral well being of the people, said:
All such statements embody two proposi
tions. First, that our wealth producing
power has been enormously Increased, and,
second, that wealth Is Inequitably and un
justly distributed.
The first of these propositions will not be
denied. Our increase In wealth per decade
since 1RS0 hss been ss the following figures,
representing billions of dollars: Seven, six
teen, twenty-six, forty-three, sixty-five,
ninety-four. Our productive capacity has
enlarged through Improved organization
and the Introduction of machinery. Mn
chlne powet has multiplied the produc
tiveness of our industries sometimes a
hundred fold.
As to the second proposition, namely,
that poverty has both absolutely and rela
tively Increased, there Is much dispute.
Many writers on sorlal questions deny thut
the rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer. "
It may still be claimed that the Increase
In wealth due to Improved organization
and machinery Is not equitably shared, that
the condition of the working class has not
Improved as rapidly ss their contributions
to Increased production would warrant.
The results of Industrial progress are hnr
vested chiefly by those who control ma

In Omaha Public
The announcement that by almost a unan
imous vote the 4,500 members of the Chi
cago Teachers' federation have decided to
apply for membership In the Chicago Fed
eration of Labor was received with inter
est among tne Omaha teachers and has
been the subject ot much discussion.
Some time ago there was considerable ag
itation among some ot the teachers for tho
establishment of a teachers' federation in
Omaha, but the matter was dropped. The
action ot the Chicago teachers . seems to
have stimulated a fresh interest in such an
organization and set on foot an agitation
that may result In something. This plan
of the Chicago teachers of securing an al
liance with the union men, most of whom
have children In the city schools, as a
means of bringing about desired conditions,
especially appeals to the Omaha women,
particularly at present, owing to the strong
feeling among teachers and patrons alike
regarding the recent consolidstion in soma
of the schools that has put three classes
into some rooms and ons large and oue
small class In others. Local teachers agree
with the Chicago teachers thst forty-eight
pupils In one room should be the limit.
In speaking of a federation of the teach
ers, one ot them ssld: "Why should we not
have a federation? Why should women not
organize in their own Interest as well as
men? A teachers' federstlon would not
necessarily mean that we join a labor union
or go into politics, but we all appreciate
that there Is strength In union that would
be desirable In anything we might under
take. We have dally illustrations ot what
women have accomplished through organ

BERLIN, Nov. 11. The home secretary
presided tonight at an official banquet In
honor of Andrew D. White, former am
bassador from the United States.
Among the two hundred guests present
were three members of the cabinet and a
number of distinguished men in all walks
of life.
Among the Americans present were John
Babcock, jr., W. J. Clark. T. W. Crldler,
C. W. Kohlsaat, F. I. Pprague, Consul Gen
eral Mason and American consuls from all
parts of Germany. Count Von Poeadowsky
Wehncr in proposing the healths of Em
peror 'William and President Roosevelt,
spoke of the emperor's great admiration of
the development of the United States, he
commended the vigor with which President
Roosevelt had conducted the affairs of the
nation after being called suddenly to their
administration and praised Mr. White's un
usually meritorious services to his country
abroad.
Professor Harnack, In proposing Mr.
White's health, said:
"Representatives of every variety of Ger
man public life are here but we are only
a small portion of those throughout Ger
many who feel reverence for you. We beg
you to widen these walls to the boundaries
of the empire."
While Mr. White spoke in reply, Professor
Mommsen loft his seat and stood at his
side, listening to every word and nodding
his head in approval.
Professor Mommsen presented an extraor
dinary figure, with his long white hair fall
ing over an old-fashioned, broad linen col
lar and his bosom covered with decorations
from all countries.
fiermany America's Friend.
Mr. White said that during the life and
death struggle of the American union Ger
many was the one nation which took the
side of the union.
"Therefore," he said, when some of my
fellow citizens endeavored to reproach Ger
many with an antl-Amerlcan feeling in the
more recent military struggle in which
my country was engaged I re
minded them that this more recent es
trangement was Infinitely outweighed by
the fact that In the struggle for our very
existence It stood by us through evil and
good report."
While the United States on a superficial
view appeared, he continued, to be the
most materialistic of nations, the people
of America were among those most power
fully swayed by beliefs and Ideals of senti
ment. In no country could the ac
tion of these two forces, apparently so
antagonistic be seen more vigorously acting
and reacting upon each other. He traced
the Influence of Ideals in political strug
gles In the United States and said he knew
no other country where money was less
worshiped as money.
Referring to America's love for peace
he said: "The case which has Just been
arbitrated between the United States and
Mexico shows sbundantly that the United
States, had It been anxious to fight or de
sirous of plunder, might easily have made
the question ot the Plus fund Into a causus
belli, but instead the matter was quietly
referred to The Hague tribunal and there
It waa quietly settled."
Referring again to the Indebtedness of
the United States to Germany, Mr. White
said It was a curious fact that while down
to the middle of the laat century the ideals
controlling American institutions of learn
ing had been derived almost entirely from
Great Britain, during the entire latter
half the Ideas and methods which gave
substance to American instruction In every
ization, and why should the teachers not
unite their efforts In a similar manner?"
Mrs. Orletta Chittenden, supervisor of
the city kindergartens, addressed the gen
eral meeting of principals and teachers of
the South Omaha schools on Saturday morn
ing on the practical and theoretical side
of kindergarten work as It pertslns to
public school work. Later she talked to
tho teachers ot the first, second and third
grades on a general program and the ma
terials that could be used In connection
with their primary work. There is at pres
ent much interest and enthusiasm in South
Omaha regarding kindergarten work aud
there is considerable agitation for Its in

tion has been promised. Mr. Pearse Is in

"If there were not such a large number
of stay-at-homes In my district my majority
might have been reduced, but I am sure 1
would have been elected nevertheless by
a handsome vote. I believe most ot the
stay-at-homes would have voted the re
publican ticket, as satisfaction with exist
ing prosperous conditions is In the air. I
found during my campaigning that then
never wss a more popular figure before the
public than President Roosevelt, Every
mention of his nsme or reference to his
work brought out vigorous and spontaneous
applause. I made it a point to devote part
of my time In each speech to telling abou
the president and his policies, and from the
way it was received I know that I couM
not have said anything that would bav?
struck the audience so favorably. It Is a
long time yet before I will be called upon to
participate In legislation unless the next
congress should be convened earlier than
its regular session, but I hope to begin
making myself useful to iny constituents
at once."
