NEW ORDER ON SOCIAL EVIL Chief Donahue Issues Some New Eegula- tious for Burnt District. EXPECTS TO ERADICATE PRESENT CRIBS Women to Be Confined Exclusively to Houses, to Wear Respectable Clothlnsj and to Comport Themselves Orderly, Chief Donahue has Issued a set of very strict orders to the police department for the government of women In the "red light" district. It Is the chief s demand that women of the half-world must com port themselves with decency of manners and apparel so long an they can be seen from or upon the street. The "cribs," which are one-story, two-room structures, with large, low windows In front, are marked for extinction. "The social evil cannot be prevented In large cities, but It should be kept out of sight," says Chief Donahue. "It is not enough to herd the women together In one locality. They must be kept Indoors and no signs of their shame publicly exhibited. No "cribs " should De allowed. The women should be compelled to remain Ins de houses that are no different from other houses. The women shall be properly clothed when they go outside and they shall not eollctt by word or gesture." The orders Just Issued provide that the curtains in the crib windows shall be drawn at all times; that the doors shall be kept closed and that women must not sit where they can be seen from the outside and adress or motion passersby. If they are to be seen on the street or from the outside at all, they must discard short skirts and low-cut and sleeveless bodices. Substantially, they must appear and act In public tho same as respectable women and shall not seek, but must be sought for. lighting to Be Reduced. The lighting of the burnt district Is to be toned down and no lamps allowed except those paid for and provided by the city for ordinary Illuminating purposes. 'The women In the cribs pay rents run ning from Jl 50 to 2 a day," says Chief Donahue. "The money is collected at 4 o'clock every afternoon, and If the tenant has not the cash she has to vacate. The cribs are low and consist of a front and a back room. In summer , they are very hot. If the windows, doors and shades are not kept open to get a draft the Inmates swel ter horribly. The cribs are built by Omaha men, who furnish some of .tjiem and make big money. In 1897 they charged so much rent that women were found who declared they had not eaten meat for weeks and cried from pure hunger. The police de partment at that time compelled landlords to reduce the charges. 'Taking all the conditions Into considera tion, the orders I have given should eradi cate the cribs In comparatively short time. There may be as many as seventy-nve of these places In the district. If a woman is discovered violating these orders she will be arrested, her place closed and will stay closed for good and all." FUNERAL OF HOWARD KENNEDY Many Old Friends Attend the Service of the Obsequies of the Late Pioneer. The funeral service for the late Howard Kennedy, sr., held yesterday afternoon at First Presbyterian church, was largely at tended.

To the Editor of The Bee: As I see the city council Is about to renew a contract with the Omaha Gas company, I would suggest that Instead of laying so much stress on the amount of royalty they pay, so as to get It Increased, that they Insist on a reduction per 1,000 feet to private consumers. As a matter of fact we pay the royalty In addition to our taxes. If they did not have to allow the city 10 cents per 1,000 feet they probably would take that much off the other con sumers, and a reduction of 60 cents or tl In a. man's gas bill each month would enable him to pay his proportion of the $10,000 or 112,000 the city gets as royalty and allow him a good surplus. The writer some years ago was a member of a city council In a town not 1,000 mile) from hero. where we paid $1.60 per LOOO feet for gas. We had to renew their contract and got It down to $1 per 1,000 feet. If you think my argument has any merit to It please take the matter up. SUBSCRIBER. Boost Now and Then. OMAHA, April 17,-To the Editor of Tho Bee: In the meeting of the Ministerial union as mentioned by The Bee I noticed certain remarks made by ministers con cerning the city. I want to say right hero that It goes a little too far when ministers of the gospel will band together for the purpose of casting slurs upon the city and vilifying their fellow men. Certainly that goes too far. Omaha has had enough of such blackmail. It Is time that the people stand up for Omaha and not take every slur and abuse heaped upon It. For my part anyone who will so utterly denounce their place of habitation should not be al lowed to remain and make their living hero. There Is no place on this earth where you can find all peace and purity, but to say that Omaha Is the worst city of all Is an absolute untruth. I am an old pioneer of Omaha and have never seen such a dis play aa they described. Of course, people who look for such things will find them. To the pure In heart all things are pure. Such talk as these ministers Indulge In behind closed doors docs the city no good. It does not by any means build up a greater Omaha. These ministers of "His," that do "His" pleasure, certainly are going a long way from their path of duty In constantly referring to evlisj" That Is not the way ministers did to ny youthful days. . If they saw evil abound .they went- around doing good and did not'ulander the community.

This In all justice and truth to the community. AN OLD PIONEER. Resents Implied Slur. FREMONT, Neb., April 20. (To the Ed itor of The Bee. Regarding the remarks Dr. S. D. Duteher of the First Christian church of your city said In your paper of April IS, "Social Evil to Be Ousted," allow me to say: Could not the Rev. Dr. S. D. Duteher be mistaken for a commer cial traveler with the pimps, aa he said "I too, have passed through those abomina ble streets." ' There are Just as good and clean men on the road aa in any pulpit, and I may say In some cases, better. I dislike very, much, . because some men do wrong, that, some one should cast a slur on that particular body, the. commer cial man. ... . . Let me call the .attention of Dr. Duteher to the late brother of the Christian church. They do wrong as well aa the poor com mercial man. Being a reader of The Bee for fifteen years, and having traveled the great state of Nebraska for the same period, and what is more, a citizen of It, I feel Dr. 8. D. Duteher has done an Injustice to the com mercial traveler by saying In his remarks, "Commercial travelers or pimps." Why not leave commercial traveler out? Very truly yours, WM. BRYANT, Blair, Neb. Representing the O. C. Hansen Mfg. Co. Trnrellag Men and Ministers. WAYNE, Neb., April 18. (To the Editor of The Bee.) Having purchased your paper for the past ten years I take the liberty of asking for a little space in which to reply to Rev. S.' D. Dutcher's remarks relative to commercial travelers. He proba bly is not aware that In speaking as he does, he slanders about a quarter of a million traveling men, 90 per cent of whom earn more money In six months than men of his kind and ability earn In two years, and furthermore, representing more good sound common sense In a minute, to say nothing further about the ability of the commercial man, than the Rev. Duteher could display In seven years. There are exceptions in all classes, and I think it no more right that traveling men should be Judged by the actions of one man than that all clergymen should be con- demned for the act of one of their brothers who was found dead In his own church In Omaha a year or two ago. If the Rev Duteher had attended Memorial services at any of the churches In the United States on, Sunday, April 8, under the auspices of the United Commercial Travel ers, he would have found that there Is probably a far greater percentage of vir tuous and moral traveling men than clergy men. I can think of nothing mean enough, and no words harsh enough to express my utter contempt of the vile, loathsome thing who would dare utter these words, and I cer tainiy expect an apology In your columns soon. Does he know what he Is going up against 7 ir he does not he soon will. Thanking God that ministers of the Rev. Dutcher's type are in the minority, I am, GEORGE MOELLER. CONSIDER THE EASTER LILY Some Qood Friday Beflestions Occasioned by riorists' Diiplay. LOCAL DEMAND FOR FLOWERS IS STEADY Dealers Are Handings Oat Miles and Boses, Tulips and the Old Fashioned Genista, bat Jio Modest Violets. How would you like to be the florlstT He estimates that he will sell ten times as many flowers today and tomorrow as he has disposed of all week, and anyone who pretends to know about flowers can Imagine that he makes a good profit at any time. One dealer has seven extra salesmen in his shop for the last day of the Easter trade, and all the others have In creased their force to three or four times Its ordinary sise. Besides selling thousands of potted plants and bunches of cut flowers, the florists will have to make arrange ments for elaborate church decorations for Sunday. By far the largest sale of flowers will be of Easter lilies. There are this year un limited numbers of fresh, healthy, robust plants. Easter Is much later than usual, so that the plants and flowers have been permitted to take their own time to put on their Easter splendor. In this latter day it is possible for the florist to force nature a little and to mature flowers In considerably less than schedule time, but when this Is done the blooms are soft and lacking In vigor and freehness, and the plants are limp and artificial In appear ance. This spring there la the flush of health and the glow of nature In all the flowers. Violets Oat of the Market. The violet, a fa-orlte spring flower. Is extremely scarce today, and the girl who Is fond of the modest blossom will have to content herself with lilies and roues. Florists say that the violets have not been perfect for the last three weeks, and It Is now almost Impossible to obtain them at all, as It Is so late In the season. Most of the violets sold in Omaha are home grown. They are sweet and of good color, but small. Owing to their scarcity, they command a high price. There is great de mand this year for violets in the markets of the Hudson river and In those of Grand Rapids and other Michigan towns, but the supply Is not large enough. Even Chicago, which always has abundance of flowers of all varieties, Is suffering a violet famine. Visitors at the shops are sadly lamenting the violet's absence. Women are very much In love with the drooping, nodding blossoms, and they say that nothing ac companies the swish of a stunning new gown quite so well as a neat bouquet of violets. Old-Faahloned Favorite. ' Something new, yet old. Is to be found on the local flower market. It Is the old fashioned genista, a golden flower of the sweet-pea .family. It Is beautiful, too, with Its feathery bloom, and was so well llkeed about twenty years aro that It rivalled the lily In popularity as an emblem of Easter. There were so many calls for the plant last year that the florists have provided for the demand this season. The plants cost all the way from $1 to $5. being somewhat higher than the Easter Illy, which may be bought for 60 cents, and from that on up to $2.60, according to the beauty of the plant and the number of buds. Hydrangeseas are plentiful in Omaha, Some very beautiful and delicate shades are shown, Tulips and hyacinths are much In demand. Murlllo tulips, white, tinted with delicate pink, have made their appear ance. The Dutch and Roman hyacinths shown In the windows are very beautiful. The lily of the valley will always be a popular flower. The florists have plenty of them and they are now In their prime. Potted Plants Popular. Potted plants are being used much as Easter gifts. The high price demanded for cut flowers, and the fact that they last but a day and wither, accounts for this eon. dltlon. It Is more satisfactory to buy something which holds Its beauty for a week -tr? more. The dealers are making little baskets of the blooming plants and selling them as Easter offerings In place of bunches of cut flowers. By themselves, the baskets are not things of beauty, but when filled with flowers, they are pleasing Indeed. About the most expensive flowers which are to be had are American beauty roses. They sell at Easter time at from $6 to $12 a dozen. The cheapest obtainable are the carnations, which sell at 60 cents to $1 a doaen. gpai eaeee'paeaa,aeweiawipwweBeFTe.weeew-e.ewp V ' correct style as it is and not merely as some maker thinks it is or 1 1 ii i would like to make it.

For Sale in Omaha, by Berg-Swanson Company I CARTER COMPANY NOT MIXED Merger of Lead Prodaeera Not Ukely to Affect the Independent Company. E. J. Cornish, president of the Carter White Lead company of Omaha and Chi cago, returned to Omaha yesterday from Chicago for a stay at his home of two weeks. Interviewed regarding the reported merger of the lead trusts, by which the American Smelting and Refining company, the Guggenheim Exploration company and the American Lead company were brought together under one management, Mr. Cornish said: "I think it Is true that the American Smelting and Refining company now owns or controls all of the smelters In the United States. I think It is also true that the National Lead company, heretofore known as the White Lead trust, and the United Lead company, owned by parties Identified with the American Smelting and' Refining company, are practically merged Into on corporation, controlled by the American Smelting and Refining company's interests. The Carter White Lead company Is not connected with any of these trusts or In juriously affected thereby. I don't think there Is any danger of our company hav ing trouble In buying pig lead. The old Omaha smelter was active In Inducing the first construction of our works here. Since then we have bought substantially all of our pig lead from the Omaha smelter and its successors, the so-called Smelting trust. It la quite unthinkable that they would not continue to treat us fairly. Besides, this Is a government of public opinion. The more complete and powerful the monopoly the more considerate they are of publlo opinion."
