THE. OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. 1905. 1 ANDERSEN'S BILL A SURPRISE Charter Revision Comnittee Astonished by the Measure Introduced. WAY DEFEAT THE COMMITTEE'S WORK " - i toadltlona at 1'reaent Saeh as Will likely Eld tar C nnanltatlona Wit boat Any Drllalte Keaalt. Members of the gcniral charter revision committee feel aggrieved at Representative 0. J. Andersen because he introduced a charter amendment bill without so much as giving them a chnnce to know what h was about or to make the suggestions for changes. So disappointed are aome of the revisionists that they are salng that the committee, is In a fair way to go to pieces for lack of Interest and a general Impres sion thai Its work at the best will be largely In vain. While the Andersen bill Includes many of the alterations decided upon by the committee. It has also a great many that the committee has not even considered or derided . upon.. No audi changes In the salaries of illy officials or the shortening of the present terms by four moiling was ever contemplated by tha committee. The points agreed upon by the committee nnd Incorporated in the .Andersen bill are the general policy to do nwny with boards and centralize . duties and responsibilities In the mayor ami council; abolition of tha Hoard or I'ublic Works and Advisory board; compulsory publication of annual reports; requiring the council to pass ordi nances regulating charges by public utility coriKiratlons; compelling street railway companies to pave between tracks; au thorities on asphalt repair plant, and power of tho council to order paving un hindered within 4,000 feet of tho court house. The other amendments have not had the approval of the committee end some of them have not even been considered. Committee May Die. Internal complications have ilsen In the charter revision committee that may cur tall if not destroy any usefulness of which It may be possible. The .other members have placed upon W. T. Nelson, lawyer and member of the lust legislature, the task of drafting Into legal shape all the amendments, desired. This Nelson Is un willing ter"do. He say ho will cheerfully draft his own suggestions, but thinks the city- should appropriate a few hundred dol lars to pay a skilled lawyer to Whip all the revisions Into form. City officials and others demur at this and say that such a course would lay them open to public criticism. The last two meetings of the committee have amounted to -nothing, due to meager attendance. Whether the prime movers will attempt to Inject some life Into the body or will let it decay and drop Into oblivion has not been decided. MELBA ' GREETS WEATHER Bright Day Welcomes Queen of Song to Omaha Engage ment. Mme. Melba, prima donna soprano, who is to sing at the Auditorium Friday night, and her company came into the city yesterday, an hour late, from Cedar Rapids. Those who travel with the great singer have adopted the pretty superstition of "queen's weather," which belonged to the great English sovereign. "Melba weather," said a member of the company on the'steps of the Iter Grand, as he drew in deep breaths ol the invigorating air. "Yes, sir. It's true, wherever she goes Mme. Melba has fine, bright days and starry nights. You would be surprised at the steady persistence of this thing. We corrfe Into a city and are told, 'Yesterday and all week it has been drlssly and cloudy and disagreeable.' (This is not to say of Omaha, which I know Is always bright In winter.) Well, when we oome we only And sunshine. . Yes, sir, Melba weather." It may Interest many to know that the great singer particularly likes this section of the United States. The clear, sharp days, with a blue sky overhead, greatly ap peal to her. It Is the popular superstition that people with $2,000-a-nlght voices are so careful with them and so rearful of a little draft which might perhaps under some conditions cause a little disturbance of the vocal chords which would possibly in the course of, thirty or forty years impair the organ of sweetness it is the general idea that such people live dreadful lives of se clusion, muffled and fended from the dan gerous air. To these people It may be a surprise to learn that the possessor of prob ably the greatest voice of the present took a four-mile. walk during the afternoon. But such is the custom of Mme. Melba. Melba'a Long Toar. The prima donna denies herself to all but a few friends on her long tour of the couitry( which began In Portland, Me., and after a circuit of the states will end In the e8t again, after fifty concerts. She has traveled in her private car with three servants and two maids, and, for com panionship, Slgnorlna Bassoll, her protege, and the mother of the lattor, Slgnorla 8 as soil. The other members of the company travel separately and are now 'at the Her Grand. While the artist allows herself some lib erties on the days when she does not sing, she Is careful . to be In the Lest condition on concert d.iys, and will probably remain In her oar all day today.

What Is practically the last banquet that can be enjoyed before graduation by the senior cls of the medical college of the I'nlverslty of Nebraska u held last even ing in one of the private dining rooms of the Brhlitx hotel. About thirty eat down to the tables, which were beautifully deco rated with cut flowers and candelabra. It was nearly 10 o'clock when coffee was served and the cigars were parsed as the final number on the program. A feature of the evening was an address by Dr. It. P.. Wsrd of the University of Nebraska. Dr. Ward, who Is an authority on para sitic diseases, reviewed some of the tropl crl contagions which had come tinder his personal ohscrt atlon and the means em ployed to l.attle with them. lie spoke of tho crowded condition of the hospitals of Liverpool, which he had visited, and ex plained the obstacles that Interfere with bncterlolopical research In these hospitals He said the large ship companies have contributed money to fit out expeditions to visit Botlth America and certnln parts of Africa to study yellow fever, th sleep lng sickness and other diseases which have proved so destructive to human life. Next week the mld-wlnter examination of the college begin. These are followed by the state "exams" and then the stu dents will be kept busy preparing for the final examinations which occur next May. LUMBER COMPANY ORGANIZES Will Market Product of Mills Located la Arkansas and Other South ern Slates. Articles of Incorporation have been pre pared for a new lumber firm which will engage In business In Omaha. The capital stock of the company will be JSO.ouO and It will have yards In the north part of the city. The incorporators will be Frederick Rohn nnd R. N. Jordan. The manager of the company will be R. N. Jordan nnd It will market the product of mills in Ar kitn-su owned by the Incorporators. Mr. Jordan was formerly a resident of Columbus, Neb., but at present resides In Joplln, Mo. Ho will remove to this city at once and proceed to open up the lumber yards of the company. Announcements of thw Theaters. Madame Melba and company have been In Omaha since yesterday morning nnd will present at the Auditorium tonight the finest program of high class music ever given in this city. The sale of seats has been large. but there are still many desirable seats in each of the divisions, ranging from H to 12.60. The box office will open at 9 o'clock this morning. There are about 200 11.60 seats on the main floor still unsold. These will doubtless go with a rush today. All Omaha people who have engaged seats, but who have not called for them, should do so at once, as there will be a busy time at the box office tonight. Manager Olllan will set a force of workmen to decorating this morning and the big building will be tn very presentable shape before evening. Mr. Lawrance D'Orsay will be seen again at the Boyd this evening In his very sue cessful play, "The Earl of Pawrtucket." The engagement closes Saturday evening, a matinee being given Saturday afternoon. The attraction for Sunday afternoon and evening at the Boyd will be the celebrated melodrama by William Gillette, "Sherlock Holmes." This has alt the original elec trical and mechanical devices which made it the greatest show of its kind ever given. The engagement is for the two perform ances only. The excellence of the bill on at the Or- pheum this week Is serving to draw a series of the largest audiences of the season. Ev ery act on the program is scoring heavily and the consensus of opinion Is that it Is the most pleasing show that has been pre sented at the popular vaudeville house in a long time. The distinguished star, -Mary Shaw, will be the headlines next week. Attention, G. A. It. The comrades of George A. Custer post No. 7, G. A.

Someone passing the Merrlam & Holm qulst elevator at midnight last night thought he could detect the odor of smoke coming from the building and turned in an alarm of fire. The ilremen examined the place thoroughly, but could nnd no sign of a fire. Kva M. Robinson is suing Alamanda Rob inson for divorce, alleging desertion and other causes of a serious character.

SOUTHERN OUTLET STARTS THE BUSINESS Rates Raised la Anticipation of a t'larh, bat Aetlon of Mlssonrl Faclno Kadi Prospect and Moves Gralp, While there Is r.o change irf the grain rate situation, so far as the Omaha roads are concerned, it is the paramount topic In the freight departments of sll the local lines. A Rock Island man, in referring to the situation, Said: "The eastern roads practically killed themselves after the lake shlwing season had closed. They knew there was t be s big shipment of grsin to the seaboard, but they advanced the rates with the ex pectation that it would have to go their way and that they would reap the harvest. "The southern railroads can move grain tt the gulf at IS cents and muke a good thing out of the haul. If the Interstate Commerce commission gels imxtd up in tnls thing I don't know when and where the trouble will end. I don't fee, though. where the commission is going to muke any capital out of it. The eastern ex changes are sore at the action of the Mis souri Pacific, and I see where they Uave sent out protests to the presidents and managers of the various lines, calling ut tcntlon to the disnppearunce of the export train trude. The Philadelphia exchange has even gone so far us to send a resolu tion to President Roosevelt endorsing the protest and Informing him of the alleged discrimination by eastern roads against the Atlantic seaports. Tr.a trouble Is not confined to the rrescnt: they are alarmed over the future effect this is going to have. Eastern. Lines Stand Pat. "The eastern roads all agreed to stand pat on the high rates put in on October 26 and which has caused most of the trouble with the Chicago grain trude. The Pcnn sylvanla was particularly active In the ef fort to secure higher rates. The grain rate went into practical effect on Januury 5 and promised to bring export shipments to dead stop. The news of the action of the Missouri Pacific nuturally aroused bitter feeling. The protests of its agents that the first cut had not been uuthorlzed was doubted. The fact Is that tho western roads have been opposed to the basing of rates from the Mississippi river to Chi cago, but they all swung around to favor that plan for meeting the conditions now confronting the Chicago roads. The plan Was referred to a committee with Instruc tions to report soon, and in the meantime the Missouri Paclfio got busy. It filed notice of Intended reduction, sent agents around to get all the buainess they could. and by the time the rate was ready to be made public it had the business. That is done all the time, and to change it the spirit and letter of the law will have to be harmonized In some way." Local representatives of the Missouri Pa cific are silent on the question. They say that all the business was done in Chicago, -Live Stock Association Dispute. 3. A. Munroe, general traffic manager for the Union Pacific, has returned from Den ver. Mr Munroe attended some of the sessions of the convention of the National Live Stock association. He sold that an other meeting will be held some time In May. "There were a great many questions In dispute," said Mr. Munroe, "and it was Impossible to get down to business on all the subjects that are agitating the associa tion. There was talk regarding the re organisation of the association, so as to give the railroads and the packers a rep resentation, but there was more of this in the papers than there was In the conven tion, so far as I was able to see. There was no movement on the part of the rail roads to be represented. Some of the mem bers of the association would like to have had such a representation, but the plan met with opposition." Hallway Notes and Personals. W.-M. Rhett of Chicago, general freight agent of export for the Illinois Central, is in the city. "Jim" Corbett spent a couple of hours at the Burlington depot yesterday while waiting for a train to Lincoln. Melba's private car is stationed In the yards at tite Union depot, where arrange ments have been made for keeping it heated and lighted while the singer is in Omaha. She will live in the car while here. The Unlon Paclfio announces that a rate of one fare, plus 12, has been agreed upon by the Western Passenger association for the Inauguration of President Robsevelt on March 4. Uniformed members of bands will have a round trip rate of one-half the regular fare, plus 11. A big movement to Washington is looked for from the coast. where the regular fare will remain In fores as far as tne Missouri river. ALAMO DANCE A BIG SUCCESS Telephone Girls Will Devote Pro. eeeds to Furtherance of St. Cath. erlne's Cooking School. About 160 couples attended the dance given at Metropolitan hall last night by the Alamo club, composed of the young women of the telephone exchange. It was the first dnnce given this season by this club, but Its reputation gained in other sea- j sons served to call out a large and very i congenial crowd of young folks. Then, too, the fact that the dance was given for the benefit of the cooking school at St. Cather ine's was an incentive to many devotees of Terpsichore to attend. D. J. Hurley was master of ceremonies for the occasion, and he received very ef fective aid and assistance from the follow ing officers of the club: Miss Nellie Murphy, president; Miss Stella Callahan, vice presi dent; Miss Mary Flynn, secretary and treasurer. The reception committee was composed of Mesdames Charles Woods, Fred uwynne, Badle Lane and Miss Mary Neu. It Is expected the club will later decide to give two or three other dances, the pro ceeds to go-to certain local Institutions of very worthy character, as the club is not seeking monetary gain. JUDGES ARE TO HAVE SHARES Conutr Commissioners Will Be Asked to Sabserlbe to Ike Stock of tho New Law Library. A petltloirls ready for presentation to the Board of County Commissioners, signed by the Judges of the district court, asking that the board subscribe for one share of stock in the new library for each of the Judges. The subscription Is to be asked for on the ground that, as the county does not provide a library for the use of the Judges, the new library will be of great value to them for purposes of consultation of au thorities and verification of the same. The partitions for the rooms to be de voted to the law library In the Crelghton law school have been located and all ar rangements perfected to have the rooms as convenient and comfortable as is possible. The present prospect is that when the li brary has been purchased and placed it will be more of a credit to the legal profession and to the city than even its most enthusi astic advocate has claimed.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES "The Karl of Pawtaeket at the Beyd. Mr. Lawrance D'Orsay and company in "The Earl of Pawtucket," a comedy In three acts, by Augustus Thomas, under the direction cf Klrke LaShelle.

Wiltsle Arthur Weatherhee Stokes Sullivan Wllklns : Ernest Elton Mr. Sll.is Hooper A. P. Thomas Mr. Duffleld M U. Pollork Hall waiter Tlien,iore Murphy Crennan M. B. Pollock An English earl hesltat- to approach the woman he loves under his right nam", for fear that he may not he loved for himself. An American friend offers to lonn his name for the experiment, knowing that the woman In question is his divorced Wife of three months, nnd nlso knowing that the English lord doesn't know It. That Is nil, but out of It and some Incidental family complications, due to the generally dislikt ablechiiracter of the American who loans his name, Mr. Augustus Thomas has built a play of three acts of remedy as delightful as may well be imagined. It Is a consum mately skillful piece of dramatic construc tion, and possesses the genuine charm of wholesome humor with no trace of the risque of naughty. And with the excep tion of Lord Cardlngton and his loyal and efficient Wilkins, It is American through- i out. Mr. Lawrance D'Orsay Is not altogether a stranger to Omaha people, a fact he very considerately recalled In the course of a catchy little speech at the end of the second net. He was here n, few seasons ngo with ilss Annie Russell In "A Royal Family." His present appearance shows a totally different side of Ills ability. As he wittily expressed it, lie begged Mr. Thomas that he be not rfgnln presented as a silly ass, and Mr. Thomas very kindly agreed to nllow him to uppear In his nat ural condition as a representative of the British aristocracy. One wonders if Mr. D'Orsay really Intends tho delicate Irony suggested to the beholder of his Lord Car dlngton. Not that Cardlngton la a silly ass, but he verges mighty close on that condi tion at times. At any rate, the character Is one of Infinite humor, and In Its very natural presentation Is a conceit that ap pears extremely droll to those of us who though not accustomed particularly to the nobility of tight little Island, have met seme of the humbler subjects of his gracious majesty, both before and after they had schooled themselves to phrase tho American idiom. At any rate, the D'Orsay creation is one that will stand alone In the list of unquestionably enter taining character productions. He is nat ural, direct, and only stupid In that he Is not cognisant of all that is plain to th audience, who are early let Into the whole plot, the ramifications of which are not made plain to the earl until Just before the final curtain. His is a most pleasing pre sentation. The entire company shares In the suc cess of the play with the star. Each of the several characters Is clearly defined, and each Is very essential to the completeness of the whole, and to say that each Is well done Is enaugh of praise. It wasn't a tremendously large audience that attend 1 the opening performance at the Boyd last night of the "The .Earl of Pawtucket," but It eras fairly repre sentative or the fashion of the city and the cordiality of the welcorfe accorded the piece and the players surely evinced the satisfaction felt by all. The play will bo given again this evening and at a matinee and evening performance' on Saturday. "The Sign of the Cross at the Km. This masterpiece from the pen of the late Wilson Barrett was given twice at the Krug yesterday, and was welcomed both' times by a large audience, who followqd Marcus, the pagan, and Mercla, the Chris tian, through their several trials and Anally Into the arena to meet the lions, with the deepest of interest. The piece has been seen in Omaha before end has been ade quately described at other times. It is. a fine example of the melodramatic play, and is given with intense force and effect by the company having it in hand. The engagement was for one day. CIVIC FEDERATION ADDRESS Executive Committee Slakes a Public Statement Ira Defense of Its Course. The executive committee of the Civic Federation has Issued the following address to the public. The address is signed by T. J. Mahoney, C. 8. Hayward, I, W. Carpenter, A. B. Somers and W. T. Gra ham: Ever since the organisation of the Civic Federation a persistent attempt has been made by certain persons who have been In various waya beneficiaries of a corrupt reslme to discredit the work of our or ganisation. Thexe attempts have taken various forms. The latest has consisted of a deliberate, wilful falsehood, to the effect that one Walter Molse Is In some way con nected with the Civic Federation or In some way Its beneficiary and is one of Its contributors, and tne runner misrepresen tation that a recent compromise of protests filed with the Board of fire and Police Commissioners amounted to a surrender. While we cannot believe that any thinking person accepts these falsehoods seriously, we make this atatement ao that even the unthinking and the malicious may not hereafter have even the excuse of Ignorance for the dissemination of such falsehoods. Neither Walter Molse nor anyone repre senting him, or In his interest, has ever had anything to do, directly or Indirectly, with the Civic Federation, its officers, members or employes, or any part in the direction of any of its work. 1 As to the compromise which haa been de nominated by certain Interested parties as "Jug-handled," we believe a simple state ment of facts ought to satisfy anyone of the correctness of our course. We di rected our attorney to file protests against the renewal of licenses to saloon keepers whose rlaces during the last year had been operated In connection with disorderly and disreputable muslo halls and theaters or had been conducted in conjunction with houses or apartments of Ill-fame. The protests were filed accordingly against all applicants who were known by us or our agrents to be subject to these objections. W e did not know or care what brewers or saloon keeper would be affected or hurt by such protests. We were convinced that such places existed, snd we took that Blood Humors iCUTICURA DESOLVinT Liquid or Pills Greatest of Blood end Skin Purifiers, has wrapped about it s com plete description and treat ment for Constitutional II u- mors, as well as for cooling the jjj i blood snd cleansing the system b in sll humors of the blood, X $ skin, and scalp, with loss of Jf r hair.

The compromise Involved a pledge by the interested parties, both to our com mittee and to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, that the abuses of which we complained Bhould Immediately cease, and be absolutely eliminated and the law and ordinances against sales to minors and sales alter mianigni annum -w served. Teh partiea who make the outcry agalnat this "compromise" proclaim that It will not be earned out. In this. doubt the wish Is fatner to the thought; but should the agreement be violated It would Involve a breach of faith on the part of the saloon keepers and breweries that we do not believe the Fire and Police board would tolerate. We believe that most, If not all, the parties to the agreement want to see it kept. We believe the Fire and Police commissioners will see that It Is kept. If that is done the three most glaring abuses of the saloon business in this city will be abolished.

If this were all that the Clvlo Federation had ever accomplished It would be a complete justification for Ita course. We expect criticism, opposition and slander from those who desire a continuance of the old regime, but we confidently look for the support of all who desire the supremacy of the law and an era of decency and progress.
