BUILDING RECORD FOR MARCH
Omaha Shows Surprising; Growth, the
Figure Being- the Largest
in Many Years.
"During the month of March permits for
buildings of greater aggregate than during
any corresponding month since the estab
lishment of the city building department,
with the exception of 1887, when Omaha
was at the height of its boom, were
Issued," said Chief Clerk Grotte of the
building inspector's office. "The depart
ment is Just now badly handicapped by
the lack of inspectors and at least one
more man is needed right away very much.
The council refused to authorise this man
last week, but It Is Impossible to keep up
the proper inspection of new buildings
without him. More than 1700, or double the
expenses of the office, were received last
month In fees."
In March 118 permits -were Issued for
construction estimated to cost $419,840, as
against 89 permits in March, 1904, for a
valuation of $159,785. The Increase was 370
per cent. For the first three months of
the present year permits to the value of
$485,206 have been lssuedas opposed to $337,
475 for the same period a year ago, an In
crease of $147,730.
Of the 116 permits seventy were for dwell
ings. The large structures included the
Independent elevator, $145,000; Omaha Com
mercial college building, $15,000; American
Radiator company's building, $42,000; Wood
ard & Burgess' new theater, KW.Ont), and the
Omaha Field club's new house, $12,500.
Permits Just Jssued are to Shimer &
Chase for the Omaha Commercial oollege
building, '$36,000, at Nineteenth and Farnam

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
BAD WEATHER FOR VAGRANTS
Judge Burks Derides to Make Omaha
I'npleasaat for the Idle
Hobo.
"Vags" received little mercy at the hands
of Police Judge Berka Saturduy. Five of
them were sent to the county Jail for thirty
days and two more were given sentences of
ten days. All of them had been In court
before on the vagranry charge and most
of them had been promised a long sentence
If they did not get to work.
From now on the police force and Judgt
Berka Intend to make life miserable for
"vags." During the winter they prefer to
serve short sentences In Jail rather than
endure cold and hunger on the streets, but
when spring conies on they do not enjoy
being deprived of their liberty. The only
way to rid the town of them is to give
them thirty or sixty-day sentences In tine
weather when they wish to be out. After
Sr few are subjected to this treatment many
of the others taks warning and laav the
dir.
The year book of the Nebraska Federa
tion of Women's Clubs for 1904-6 Is Just out.
It Is a substantial little book of sixty-five
pages, between a heavy green paper cover,
bearing a spray of goldenrod, the Federa
tion flower. Greetings from the president
of the General Federation, Mrs. Sarah Piatt
Decker; from Mrs. William Apperson, the
state General Federation secretary, and
from Mrs. H. M. Bushnell, state president,
occupy the first few pages and give an
Inviting glimpse Into the spirit and earnest
purpose of the club womun. The corre
sponding secretary reports 13S clubs, with
a membership of 4,607 women, now In the
Btate federation. Twenty clubs have ome
Into the state organization this year.
Thirty clubs hold membership In the Gen
eral Federation. Seventy-five erubs werej
represented at the last annual meeting by
206 officers, speakers and delegates. Greet
ings from the six district vice presidents
give gratifying reports and the- reports of
the chairmen of the various standing com
mittees indicate the practical, successful
work that has been accomplished and is
in prosaect.
Arrangements have been completed for
the second annual convention of the feder
ated clubs of the Third district of the
Nebraska Federation,' which will be held
at Fremont the first week In May. The
exact date and program huve not been
announced. Mrs. Frances D. Keefe of
West Point Is vtce president of the dis
trict Yhls year. The Third district held
one of the most successful district meetings
In the state last year at Norfolk. That
district is one of the most active this year.
A new club, the Culture club of Bancroft,
has Just been organized and Wednesday
of this week the Woman's club of Tekamah
will entertain the clubs of Lyons, Oakland
and Decatur to meet Mrs. Keefe
The bureau of Information of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs has com
menced acttv operations and has issued
the following,
tlon:
its first ufflciul communlca-
Mrs. Mary I. Wood, chairman of the
committee. Is In charge of the work, anil
will open a modest office in Portsmouth, X.
H. The bureau is not established for the
purpose of relieving officers or committees
of responsibility or obligation, but, in the
first instance, to preserve In business-like
fashion the year books, publications and
history of the organization; secondly, to
establish a distributing point which will
make a foundation of work; thirdly; to en
deavor to bring about a nearer relation
between the individual and the Federation.
Very nearly all national societies and or
ganizations have a center of this sort. The
Daughters of the American Revolution,
with a total membership no larger, per
haps, than the New York State Federation,
has headquarters at an expense of several
thousand dollars 'a year.
The Daughters of the Revolution, al
though a smaller society, maintains an
office in New York. The National Civic
Federation, the National Municipal league,
the American Institute for Social Service,,
the National Child Labor committee, the
American Civic association und many
others have recognized the force and effect
of uniting their respective members to the
turent association, by establishing a rally
ng point. .
The National Women's Suffrage associa
tion Is a notablw example of perfection In
this line. Never could the gallant tight
have been made against the obnoxious
Arizona statehood clause except for the
"sinews of war'" furnished from the head
quarters In Ohio.
For years has come the criticism and
tiUKgestloii concerning the General Federa
tion, that It lacks organization, and that
it would never be able to do Itr appointed
work because of this lack. Believing that
this is true to a great extent, we have
taken this step, slowly snd cautiously at
first, as becomes a new measure, but
with faith that the, women of the Federa
tion will give hearty fealty to the plan
and that it may be but the beginning of a
splendid, powerful center from which shall
radiate a great und mighty force for good.
The following letter has been Issued by
the president of the General Federation to
the presidents of state federations:
To every president of the General Fed
eration must come the thought that a
closer relation between the wiaie and the
General Federation is absolutely necessary
if th work of each is to increase in effi
ciency. How to bilng, about this amalga
mation is a question over which many have
pondered long. 1 do not fur an Instant be
lieve that 1 have in any way solved the
Intricate problem, but 1 doslre your opinion
upon a pian which may help in a measure,
and which I set forth for your considera
tion. The General Federation has the following
standing committees: Art, child labor,
civics, civil service reform, eduoatlon, for
estry, household economics, Industrial, leg
islative, library extension, literature, pure
food," reciprocity. The forestry and legis
lative committees consist of members troni
each state and are therefore In a measure
working under the proposed plan. The In
dustrial and child labor committees could
be combined for state work, also house
hold economics and pure food. This would
leave nine standing committees art, civics,
civil service reform, education, household
economics and pure food, industrial and
child labor, library extension, literature,
reciprocity a splendid and comprehensive
list of subjects for a state lederatiou's
study and i work. Every commonwealth
would lmorove physically. Intellectually.
morally and spiritually if its intelligent,
capublo womon were working along tliese
lines.
The suggestions I make, therefore, Js that
the state federation shall harmonize their
committees with those of the Uenerul Fed
eration, adding, of course, such local com
mittees as may be necessary for certain
conditions, but the general plan to follow
the mother organization. 1 would go even
further. I would usk that the state fed
eration suggest that each club formulate
Its year's programs as far as possible upon
these topics, thus gradually conforming to
a certain extent into a narmonious wnoie
like city, state and nation. There would
then be concerted action; there would bo
education In many communities at the
same time upon like subjects always a
great Influence. The civil service reform
committee has had proof of the great effect
produced by tho January meetings upon
that work. Clubs, speakers, newspapers,
even preachers have written and spoken,
and many thousands have been brought to
study tho Important question. If this plan
could be carried out each Individual club
Von Id have the help of the state commit
tee and the General Federation committee
upon the respective subjects; helpful and
harmonious plans would be evolved, and I .
believe a greut push he given to the work
and ' the workers. Will you not give this
your enreful thought ! it would take time
and detail to accomplish the co-ordination,
but perhaps results would repay the ef
forts. Sincerely youra.

TAG FOR A HIGH-PRICED DOG
n. P. Crowell Obtains Protection for
English Bull Terrier He
V Mines i:t ;iOO.
A tag for tho most valuable dog thus far
registered with the city for a license was
secured by B. P. Crowell, 1720 Dodge
street, of the Postofflce department, for
his thoroughbred English bull terrier, "Fire
Jean," which Is worth $300. The dog's
father, "Fire Chief," was Imported from
England at a cost of $1,6tKl by F. H. Croker,
son ' of "Dick" Croker of Tammany hall
fame; who was killed In an automobile ac
cident at Ormond Beach last winter. Mr.
Crowell obtained his dog from P. J. Moran
of Kearney. She Is 18 months old and will
be shown at several Important kennel ex
hibitions next season.
Bam Walkup, who Issues the dng tags at
the city hall, Is mourning the loss of his
fine English greyhound, which was pois
oned. Another dog of the same kind,
owned by Joneph Walkup, also has been
poisoned, making the last of nearly a score
of dogs In the vicinity of Twenty-fourth
and Plnkney streets that have died by the
strychnine method. The owners are
greatly wrought up over the deuth of the
animals and have tried In every way to dis
cover who administered the poison. As it
stands, the matter is a genuine Sherlock
Holmes mystery. The Walkup dogs were
valued at $100 apiece.

is another point of view."
