"I am also certain that the trading
Stamp people Will spend considerable
money before they will see their business
stamped out of the city."
Jobbers Declare Themselves
When Mr. Munro had concluded, ha
called upon the leading Jobbers of the city
and all of those who had signed the agree
ment to dispense with the trading stamp,
aald to Include among Ha number all but
two of the smaller concerns of the city,
and each of these firms addressed ths
gathering. The' tenor of tha Jobbers' re
marks waa to the effect that they had
signed the agreement to dispense with ths
trading atamp. In return they asked that
they be given the orders which had here
tofore been placed with outside Jobbing
concerns. Especial reference was made
In this connection about the local coffee
trade. It waa shown thst each of the
Jobbing concerns who had signed the agree
ment, roasted all of Its cotlee In this city,
and since they had stood by the retail
grocers In ths matter of the trading
statu pe, It was deemed no more than fair
and Just that the retail grocers should
hereafter purchase all of their coffees from
the local Jobbing concerns. ' A resolution
to thst effect was afterwards adopted by
an overwhelming vote.
Continuing their remarks the local Job
bers said that alnos they ha.d signed the
agreement not to sell goods to firms who
use the trading stamp. It would mean
considerable loss of business to them, es
pecially elnce It entailed a loss In con
nection with, the Bennett company, which
had been a liberal purchaser from the
local Jobbing concerns. In view of these
facts the Jobbers thought It would be no
more than fair that the retail grocers
should hereafter place all orders with them
which they had heretofore given to out
side concerns, and this view of the mat
ter was concurred In by the gathering.
A number of gentlemen spoke during the
evening, including President Toungblood of
tbe State Grocers' association,, who lives
in Lincoln, who said he had learned a
good deal about the trading stamp which
he did not know heretofore.
A resolution waa paased instructing th
secretary to inform the Jobbers of the
grocers In Omaha who have not discontin
ued the use of the trading stamp, aa ac
cording to the agreement which they have
signed, tha local Jobbers are . hereafter
bound not to sell to any grocer who does
not sell for cash.
Enthusiasm ran high at the meeting and
the retail grocers are gratified at the
united stand tsken by the local Jobbers.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Mayor Yetosi Eesolntioi to Bay and Bent
Minnsapslis Fire Engine.
BOTH DISAPPROVALS ARE- SUSTAINED
Chief Eiecotlve Tblaks That City
ShOBld Not Take Any Cbaaces
. . oa These Untried
Machines.
The council reversed Us action in taking
the initiative aa to purchasing a fire engine
Tueaday and sustained two vetoes from
Mayor Moores, disapproving the resolutions
adopted a week ago directing the clerk to
advertise for bids for an engine and re
questing the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners to rent one from the Nott Fire
Engine company of Minneapolis. A new
resolution was adopted directing the' Ad
visory board to advertise for a competitive
test of engines, the winner to be bought
within five days after the dumonntration.
Concerning tbe previous purchase resolu
tion ths mayor said:
Text of Maror'a Veto.
I return herewith without my xpproval
document no MM passed by your honorable
body at your last regular meeting, Decem
ber 8. 190.
This document is a resolution and specifi
cations directing the city clerk to publish
a notice in the official paper thai the city
of Omahif desires to purchune an extra first
slid steam fire engine and that each manu
facturer ottering to sell an engine must
submit speciHcatlons, such specifications to
be had from the city clerk, and embodied
In this resolution. . ,
I veto this resolution because it Is too
much on the "Jug handle" order. This doc
ument was gotten up by the Nott Fire En-
rlne company of Minneapolis, I am reliably
n forme!, and of course ia gotten ud in the
interest of their make of fire engine. I
do not believe thnt any benefit is to be de
rived by a competitive test. Both engines
are forced to their utmost caDacitv: a
strain is put upon the boiler and machinery
i mm i wouia sciaom do cuiiea upon in case
of a fire and I am informed .that nine
times out of ten engines are sent back to
the shops for repairs brought about by the
terrible strain nut UDon them in the anxletv
of earn concern to beat their opponent. The
American Bteum f ire Kngtne company of
Cincinnati, whose existence as a "tire en
gine making company" is of over fifty
years' standing, will make a test if neces
sary, but not on these specifications. Speci
fications in a case of this kind should be
drawn up by disinterested parties, to which
uotn sides interested could approve.
I am not familiar with the mechanism of
steam fire engines any more than la your
nouoraDie oouy ana in my judgment we
should not Dlace our oolnions or our nr.
tended knowledge ahead of a fire chief who
has fought Area for over twenty-live years
snd who Is emphatically in favor of the
better engine. When we have a tire chief
and It Is his business to fight fires and to
be Informed on all matters DertalniiiK to
apparatus used by a fire department, then
why in heaven's name ie hi opinion not
oi greater merit man ours.
My determination in this fire enaine cur
chase matter ia absolutely and honestly
for the "best" for our fire department,
nothing more, nothing lesa, and aa I have
stated above if our experienced chief's
opinion must do sidetracked lor the unde
veloped opinion on Are apparatus of the rest
of the city officials, who are in authority.
then we might aa well dispense with his
services and run it ourselves.
I have too much confidence In the ability
ef tbe members of our city council to be
lieve that they will allow themselves to be
hoodwinked by this Nott Fire Kmrtne com
paay, who expect the city ot Omaha to
become an eaperiinental station fur an un
tried engine, tbe first of which alse. baa
yet to be built. ,
I therefore veto 4ht resolution for the
rcaaoua above given..

Iff nsr .
of Omaha accepts the proposition to refit
aaid city one new third else steam tire en
gine for a period of four months at a rental
of 125 per month, ete.
I veto this resolution because I do not'
think the present situation demands that
we should rent an engine. While we have
really but two engines in first class condi
tion In the city, yet with the other two
third class engines, we can surely get along
for o few months longer, a well aa we
have In the pitst, and In case of an ex
treme emergency the Union Pacific Rail
way company no doubt would lend us the
use of the "Dutant" engine, owned by
tnem ana tocatea at ineir anops.
The engine offered by the Nott fire En
gine company is a "third" class engine
which throws but too gallons of wster a
minute. In a separate communication to
your honoranie norty, i enclose tne oner or
the American Fire Engine company, offer
ing to lease one first, else engine, which
has a capacity of throwing 1100 gallons of
water per minute. So if it were necessary
to lease an ent-lne. rwould It not be better
to lease one of more than double the cap
acity,, and throwing more than double the
volume ot water, insn can us uirowa ay
this Minneapolis machine.
Another reason I have to offer. Is the
fact that the fire department has no horses
for this borrowed engine; no harness; no
flace to put the engine and we have no
undn to increase the number of men who
would be necessary to properly man said
apparatus.
1 tnererore oeem u iriexiwim id nucepi
the proposal made by either the Nott Fire
Engine company or the American Firs'
Engine companv. and for these reasons I
veto this resolution.
Sustained t'naalmoasly.
The votes sustaining the vetoes were
unanimous. It was admitted on all sides
that the mayor's contention that the Ad
visory board must ' negotiate for and pur
chase the engine in order to do it legally,
Is correct. The chrinnel for the carrying
out of the council's wishes Is simply trans
ferred from the city clerk to the Advisory
board.
The name of Fergus P. McGough was
submitted by Mayor Moores for the posi
tion of city electrician and the council re
ferred the appointment to the committee
on street lighting. McQough has been
Inspector of wiring and electrical con
struction in the city electrician's office for
a year and a half and since Paul H. Pat-
ton's resignation, November 1, has per
formed the duties of the office. The ap
pointment dates back to November 1.
In his exhibit of work upon which hs
has been engaged McQough statea that he
has had alx years' practical experience
In all phases of electrical construction and
maintenance', and that his theoretical study
extends over a period of ten yeara, having
passed examinations by the British gov
ernment after a two years' course ,at the
South-Kensington Institute. He was on
the staff of Henry Rustln at ths Omaha
and Buffalo expositions, electrician for
the Ak-Sar-Ben In 1908 and superintended
electrical construction at Courtland beach.

paign orator.
CHICAGO, Dec, 16. Preachers as cam-
paign orators was the principal subject
discussed at today's meeting of the prohibi
tion national committee. -The ten commit
teemen represented In the meeting at the
Auditorium hotel will- decide on the place
for the national convention before then- ad
journment tomorrow. Th general welfare
of the party was discussed today, this dis
cussion having to do mainly with the
methods of campaign orators. The con
census of opinion seemed against the
preachers.
"Th 'infidel who votes ths party ticket Is
worth y more than the Christian who
doesn't" said H. W. Wilbur of New York.
Other members said ministers as stump
speakers were less effective than business
men. owing to their lack of knowledge ot
the best way to reach and convince the peo
ple. ,
The committeemen present agreed as to
the desirability of eliminating Imprac
ticable methods and recognizing practical
men In the party. Instead of giving th
leading positions to preachers

NOTES Oil OUAHA SOCIETY.
Literally responding to the text of tho In
vitation, there were no frills on the dinner
given by Mr. Grant at his home on Park
avenue last night, when a large number of
personal friends and mutual acquaintances
sat down together to what each agreed
waa one of the most delightful evenings ne
had ever spent. Because each one knew all
the others and they were gathered under
the roor or a man they ail Know so wen
and rssnect so hhrhlv. tha restraint of

from the beginning to the end. Storle that

others fought and wen hungry together.

and bow Cornish used to take his apron off

it again when h started home, and thua
