CLAIMS RIGHT TO RAISE ITS RATES Declares, However, Actios Wm Net (or Pvrposo of "FreeslasT" Oat v" Old Members, aa Plain tiff Asserts. Through the slow process of the law the case, of George W. Cooper against the Modern Woodmen of America Is about to come up for settlement In ' the courts of this state. While the amount Involved In this par ticular suit la only nominal, the oase Itself Is of vast Importance, for upon the de cision of the courts here hangs the loss ' or acquirement of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the organisation which Is made the defendant to the aotlon. ' Mr, Cooper, who Is an attorney of this city, filed his suit several months ago, at which time his contention was fuUy out lined In the . columns of The Bee. His , claim Is, in brief, that the order of the N. Woodmen, of which he has been a mem ber In good standing for fifteen years or more, has raised the aasesnment of cer tain classes of members In a way which their constitution and bylaws especially forbid, and that this raise Is made for the purpose of "freesing out" some of the older! members or those naturally most liable to die, and thus oall upon the or ganization for the death benefits on which they paid for many years. He holds that the discrimination Is .Wrong and Illegal, for this and a variety bt pther technical reasons, and announces the Intention of fighting the matter to the bitter end for the benefit of the mem bers throughout the country, who, he claims, are being Imposed upon. Answer Piled by- N. C. Pratt. In answer to this suit, which has been flled by N. C, Pratt, attorney for the Wood- Cures Grip and (SOLOS C3"Pin this to letter of credit.

WlilUm bjmI JuIlu sUroeu, Mew York, men In this state, a general denial Is made of all the plaintiff's charges, and then they are taken up, one by one, and material allegations made as to the falBlty of each. The defendants do not deny that the assessments have been raised as claimed by Mr. Cooper. Neither do they deny that he ' was a . member ln good standing up to the time of the bringing of this action, as he has set forth In his declaration. The defendants also admit that the rate of assessment was raised for the purpose of discriminating against one class of members, but that It "was a legal act because it was done for the purpose of equalising the assessments, for the wel fare of the organisation and the presarva tlon of the same, and with no intention or thought of freezing anybody out, whether he has been a long or a short term mem ber. The base their right to so increase the assessments on a section of the by' laws, which reads: Division R. Amendment to Laws. Sec tion A. These laws may be amended at any special or regular session of the head camp oy a two-mirus voie oi us au thoilred delegates present. The defendants set up ln this connection that the necessary two-thirds vote was present when Mr. Cooper's assessment. among thousands of others, was increased. In this particular case the assessment was increased from 60 to 90 cents per month for as many or as few months during the year as the death benefits to be paid by the so ciety during the year made necessary, the increase being made on an age basis. A copy of the by-laws of the organisation is attached to and made a part of Mr. Pratt's answer and an endeavor will be made by him to have the case disposed of at the present term of the district court. TELLS WHY EARNINGS FELL Superintendent Sllfer of Rock Island Says Henry Operating Expenses Partly Caasod It. H. J. Bllfer, general superintendent of the Rock Island railway, la In the city. Mr. Sllfer Is very optlmlstlo concerning pros pects for railroad earnings during the com ing year. In talking on the subject Mr. Sllfer said: "Almost all reports for the year ln the railroad business show a decrease in net earnings, but this Is due In great part to Increased operating expenses. In whloh the Item of labor cuts a great figure. The cost of labor has advanced during the last year about SB per cent, but I .think that, gener ally speaking, the laboring men are ' npw satisfied and that the cost in this depart ment during the coming year will not show much of an Increase. The wages now paid are very good. The coat of material has also rut quite a figure in reducing the' net' earnings. I believe the advance ln ma terial cosi during the last twelve months hss been about 10 per cent. Better results are coming this year. WILL TRY FOR STOPOVERS Commercial C lub Determines to Take I p Matter of Beeorlasr Aatl ralkilng Ordinance. Regarding the proposition of the rail- roads to allow stopovers in Omaha on World's fair transportation if the counull would pass an ordinance forbidding scalp ing of this transportation, R. 8. Wilcox, president of the Commercial club, said: "The Commercial club will take this biatter up at the Tuesday meeting of the ixeouttve committee. Nothing will be done ht'tore that time. I do not know what the sentiment of the club will be, but It seems to me If we can get stopover privileges for World's fair visitors passing through Oiuuha u Is worth trying for. A large number of ssovls la that way would visit our city for one or more days and I feel It would do us much good. The railroad people were in to see me Frlda Chair man Wright of the executive committee Is out of the city. I am not fully informed, but I think there are few men engaged ln this scalping business ln Omaha, so that very little Injury would follow the passage of such an ordinance." BARBERS ASK CITY ORDINANCE Want Btrlnsrent Prorrislona Made by Council for ResraUttloa ot Their Trade. An ordinance proposing to license bar ber s and providing for their examination by a board specially constituted for the purpose, is being urged by Louis V. Ouye, business agent of the Barbers' union and president of the Central Labor union. Mr. Ouye bas framed a copy of the measuro desired and submitted it to the city legal department, which Is Investigating the legal questions involved. There Is some doubt In the mind of Assistant City At torney Herdman as to the authority of the city to pass such a law and attempt to enforoe.lt. The proposed ordinance would have ap pointed by the mayor a board of examin ers, composed of three barbers, who are to meet on the evening of the first Monday of each month and satisfy themselves as to the Qualifications of such barbers as apply to them for certificates. The latter are to cost tl a year and are to be granted to men more than 18 years oM, who are free from contagious diseases. Students ' and apprentices are to be enrolled upon a registration list and are required to pay tl a year,' also. Provision la mads for the Inspection of all barber shops, schools and hair dressing parlors by the board. One clause provides that barber schools or colleges must display conspicuously a sign so labeled and no other sign. WANTS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT Coaa-ressmaa. Bnrkett Desires Un divided' Senatorial Nomlnatloa to Strsna-tbea Party's Chances. Congressman E. J. Burkett was ln Omaha yesterday on his way from Wash ington to his home In Lincoln. He had stopped in Glenwood, la., to see his mother and remained only between trains. Hs was looking well and said: "I am home for the summer and for the campaign wherever my services are needed. I have not kept fully Informed of the con ditions here in Nebraska, but my last re ports were to the effect that more than a majority of the delegates to the stats con vention had been Instructed to favor a con vention nomination for United States sen ator. ' "I did not start the movement In my favor, but of course I would bs glad to have the nomination, but I want It. if dos- slble.v by' a unanimous vote.

WILL NOT CURB THE RiVER County OommiuioDeri Remind Order to Ii prav Missouri at East Omaha, ' ALL MATERIAL WILL BE HAULED BACK Action Taken Because of Approbea alon as to Warrant for Appro priating" County Founds for This Parpose. So far . as the Board of County Commis sioners is concerned, the Missouri river may do as It pleases In the matter of cutting into and washing away land at the west end of Florence lake at East Omaha. The board, at Us regular meeting, rescinded the resolution adopted last win ter, authorizing certain constructions to curb the turbulent stream and prevent fur ther destruction of property. This latter action means that all the material for the Improvements which had been hauled to the river be hauled back where It was obtajned and let the river do whatever in l.ts judgment Is best. While the accommodating change in the action of the river Is the nomlna 1 reason for the action of the board in this matter, it Is more than probable that it would have done the same thing had the bank still been In danger, as it is understood that the board bas become convinced that it had no legal right to spend the 12,000 mors or less of the oounty's money that would have been necessary to do tho work. Commissioner Kennord opposed the meas ure from its Inception and now stands Vin dicated in the position that he, took. Reaolatloa Vadolasr It. The rescinding resolution adopted was: Whereas, the cor d' in of the Missouri river at the west - ' i -vf the government rip rap nurth of Florence lake, In H.ast Omaha, has changed, so that. Instead of washing out, it Is now filling In; bs it there fore Resolved, That the resolution ordering Improvements at that point adopted some time ago by the Board of County Commis sioners be and Is hereby rescinded; and bs it runner Resolved, That the stone, or as much as Is necessary, be used ln protecting the bulk head and road touth of Florence lake, the lumber now or the ground being returned to the respective lumber companies, with the exception of the piling, which shall be stacked at some convenient place to be used by the county when needed; and bs It further Resolved, That the contract between Douglas county and Mr. Mayo for pile driv ing is nerepy canceueu.

O., .were held at his late residence, 3010 Sherman avenue, , yes terday. Dr. .Lowrle of the Omaha Pres byterian seminary had charge and was as sisted by Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Lampe. Dr. Lowrle read some comforting passages from the scriptures and then spoke simply, but fervently, of the life and works of the dead man, telling of his long and unselfish efforts ln behalf of Christianity, education, and his church. He told how Dr. Wilson had been connected with McCormlck sem inary at Chicago almost since Its founda tion, as a director and for many years secretary of the board;, how. he had aided In building It up to Its ' magnificent suc cess; how he had been Interested ln the Omaha seminary and had come here to aid In Its establishment, finally severing his connection with McCormlck that he might give his whole time to Omaha; how the people who knew him. Irrespective of creed. loved him as a man and esteemed him as a citizen and how he had endeared himself to the students who had 1 been helped by him through his long service as a teacher, and finally of the deep Impression he had made on the affairs of the church. Ths body was taken to Tekamah at 2 In the afternoon, where interment will take place. Dr. Kerr will have charge of the services there. It was Dr. Wilson's wish that he be burled in the cemetery there, that city having been the scans of his last work as a pastor and he being greatly beloved by the people of the city. measures, have been fined $20 and $7 and costs, respectively, ln police court According to Inspector Mahammltt's statements, the measures used by these peddlers were not only unsealed with the official Btamp, but the peck measure was short two quarts and the half .bushel short five and one half quarts. One of the measures bore evidences of having been shortened and a wooden bottom inserted. It was stated in police court that when the inspector drove up to the peddlers to examine the measures Wooden grabbed them and ran, leaving the measures in a nearby store and himself escaping for the time being.

Cathers' threat to have city officers indicted for payment of the April and May (1903) payrolls of the Board of Public Works. City Treasurer Hennlngs explains his ' official position Cathers said a fact that looked queer was the cashing of the warrants immediately in the treasurers office, while registered warrants Issued previously bad to wait. "No discrimination was shown ln favor of these warrants," said the treasurer "They were paid as soon as presented, as were warrants for the entire April salary appropriation ordinance. The day before I had announced in The Bee that the city was again on a cash basis owing to ths re ceipt of current taxes. As has been the custom In past years, It was decided to pay off the warrants just issued first before Issuing a call for the payment of registered warrants In the first place, there are many of, the latter, all having equal rights and not money enough to go around, and In the second plaoe. It was not economical to put the clerks to the time and trouble of registering the warrants just Issued when there was money enough ln the drawer to pay them. Investigation of the books will show this course has been followed in past years. The 1903 payroll warrants were cashed when presented, just the same as the other In the ordinance. "Furthermore, I wish to stats that sny person holding a warrant against the city and desiring his money may present It at any time from now on arul It will be paid In full."

WELL WATER UNFIT TO DRINK Supply in Certain Large Office. Buildings CoudeBinad by Health Commissioner. MUST HAVE CITY WATER FOUNTAINS Dr. Ralph Finds After Inspection that Wells Become Contaminated and Dangerous for Purposes I Drinking. Health Commissioner Ralph has Issued orders forbidding the use of well water for drinking purposes ln downtown office buildings. Four big struotures, having a total of several hundred office apartments, are affected. They are the Paxton, Knr bach, Wear and Barker buildings. Each la equipped with a well ln addition to connection with the pipes of the Omaha Water company. ' The matter was called to the attention of Dr. Ralph some Urns ago and he had samples of the water analysed. The in spection showed It Impure and unlit for drinking. The sgents and owners of the buildings were consulted and they agreed to use the well water for boilers and closets only. In Instances they assented to arrange ments to have city water fountains placed In the hall, plainly marked, "City Water, for Drinking." . This arrangement sutislled the health department, which was anxious to make it plain to persons ln the build ings ' whioh faucets supplied city water and whloh did not. The water supply In the offices of physicians and others using It will bs well water, unless other ar rangeme' Is are made. It wan the dootors who began the agita tion. The wells In tho Wear and lioiker blocks were put down within the laxt year. "I am Inclined to think," said Dr. Ralph, tliat the contamination In the witter Is caused by sewerage and water Impreg nated with It penetrating the ground along side the pipes sunk ln the wells, and that the source of supply was originally not bud. as the wells are deep. However, the wuter s foul and dangerous when It readies the top snd should not be token into the stomach." Ten free trips to the World's fair each week. See coupon on page 2. AriTiUAL GALE TEH HILL!
