ZIMMAN MAKES START ON NEW TACK ill Member of Council Acrtc on Mat ter and Mlehnelaen Kara H port Will Be Kxhanatlve and Impartial. Following the reduction of gas rates, as a result of the fight over the street lighting contract, the city is to have a thorough In vestigation made to develop a possible baala for the compulsory reduction of charges for electric light and power service to private consumers by the Omaha Electrlo Light and Power company. In a resolution Introduced by President Zlmman and adopted unanimously by the council Friday morning, City Electrician Mlchaelaen Is di rected to make a thorough Inquiry of all vital conditions In the matter In cities of the countrja of 100.000 population or over, to compare these with Omaha, and to make a report setting forth the facts. The resolution rads as follows: Resolved. By the City Council of the City Cf Omaha, the mayor concurring, That the city electrician Is directed and authorized to ascertain by correspondence, through government and other reooris and other authentic sources, the prices charged to firlvate consumers of electrlo current ror Ight and power service In the various cities uf the L'nlted States of ImxxiO or more pop ulation: also the economic conditions pe culiar to the production of electrlo current in each city, including the average price of fuel and other elements entering Into the cost of generating electricity. That the tlectrlclan, after he has collected this In formation, arrange It In compact and Intel llgable form, comparing It at the same time with similar conditions In Omaha. If prac ticable It Is desired that the electrician make his report to this council within one month after the receipt by him of this reso lution, but should he And It ncces.ary to use more time and deems It necessary to the value and completeness of the report, he may take such time as his judgment warrants. Officials Talk on Sabjert.

"The report of the city electrician, honestly made, will give the city officials authentic Information to work on." City Attorney Brcen suys he believes the city has the right to enforce "fair and reasonable" charges by the electric light company. He has not given the matter the careful Investigation that a lawyer uses In the preparation of an opinion, but from general knowledge speaks as quoted. "I shall exert myself to the utmost to make this report reliable, Impartial and exhaustive," said City Electrician Michael sen. "I shall begin work on It at once, probably first collecting all the statistics and data that the federal government may have compiled. This will be supplemented by Inquiries direct to city officials and by all other trustworthy means that can be brought to bear." Mayor Moorea said he was glad to hear of the move. "If the electric street light ing contract hud come up to me," said his honor, "I would not have signed it until satistled that the private consumer Is getting fair treatment. I hope the re port will be unbiased and complete." Will Insist on Iloje Ordinance. Although the gas company has voluntarily announced the reductions In charges to consumers, as promised, there Is nothing to Indicate that the contract matter la settled at the city hall. The council mi nority still declares that the Hoys ordi nance, which makes the reductions a con dition of the 128 street lighting agreement, must be passed. Mayor Moores sldea with the minority and expresses the hope that the Hoye ordinanoe will pass. With City Attorney Breen and other officials be be lieves It is good business craft to have the full understanding In writing. "Questions have been raised as to the legality of the Hoye ordinance In connec tion with the gaa franchise, which allows higher rates than those enumerated," said President Zlmman. ' "This apprehension I do not believe Is warranted. The ordinance simply directs the terms of the contract. asks nothing more than the gas company has conceded, and If signed by both par ties, of course, will be binding. It Is good. however, only for five years and has a proviso letting the city back out after four years If it wants to put in a municipal pl&nt. All that is wanted is a plain, busi ness man's contract. For the first eight months of the year the cost of maintaining the city electrical de partment was 2,3)n5.66 and the Income for the oftlco was 12,271.79, making it almost self-sustaining. For August 1378.73 w.ia taken in fees, being the second largest month in the history of the office, the big' gest being May 1, 1905, with 1461.78. ENGINEER EXPLAINS DELAY Bars Blow Work la 1'avlnaT la t)n to Contractors Material Cornea High. Before the council Friday morning City Engineer Rosewater explained causes for the delay in paving operations and said It was due to slow work by E. V. Van Court and the Commercial Land company, who have contracts for. much of the curbing. Van Court, he said, is now laying about 0 feet of curbing a day, but he says the Commercial Land company has no got a single street in proper condition for pav ing. Moat of this matter was gone over In The Bee earlier in the week, but a new charge was registered. "The Commercial Lajid company la to furnish Bedford stone curbing." said the engineer. "As a matter of fact, this turn ing is about twice as expensive as the ordinary kind, yet the company Induced properly owners to sign for it and thus made the curbing contracts separate from the paving. The paving companies cannot do anything until the curbing Is in. Even the mayor was fooled on the Bedford stone deal and signed for It. He now admits his mistake. The reason for the delay is due to the fact that the local agents sim ply can't get the stone heie fast enough to proceed rapidly with the work. I don't suppose, the city could get it any quicker if It compelled forfeiture of the contract. Again, it might have to let new contracts, these being matters for the attorney to determine. "I Intend to go into the matter fully and make a report with recommendations just as soon as I can. We must do our best to get most of this paving in this fall." MILLARD CLAD TO RE HOME Senior Senator and Daughter Return from Six Weeks' Trip ia Europe. OLD WORLD APPLAUDS ROOSEVELT Irrigated Farms In the Mule Empire of the Western Slope. Profitable farm Inds are scattered all along the line of the DENVER & RIO GRANDE RAILROAD, "Scenic Line of the World." In the valleys of the Grand, Gunnison. North Fork and Roaring Fork rivers, and in the San Luis and Vncompahgre valleys of Colorado, and the Farmlngton district of New Mexico farming, stock raising and fruit growing are carried on In a way that is a revelation to the farmer In the east. For those who desire to make new homes there Is no other region that offers more and better advantages than western Colo rado, a land of blue skies and sunRhlne, with a temperate and even climate, where the erstwhile desert needs but to be tilled nd watered In order to verily "blossom as a rose."

Europeans Think Prealdent Has Achieved Great Diplomatic Vic tory In Bringing; Itnaala and Japan Together. Senator Millard and daughter arrived In Omaha Friday morning after a six weeks' trip to Europe. The senior Nebraska sena tor was on hand bright as a new dollar shortly after his arrival In Omaha, his appeurance and bearing plainly indicating that the trip over the water had done him great good. The first thing that im presses visitors to returning Nebraskans is that they look well and express the feeling that tires not and is springing perennially with health and vitality; and yet they Insist that the ozone of this delightful prairie state is Incomparable. As Senator Mllard intimated: "The anticipation of getting home to all you know and love Is the same feeling that Impelled the Irish emigrant, return ing to his native shores, to lift his hat ss he entered Dublin bay and make that declaration the poet has Immortalised, 'Old Ireland, out of the full of me heart I wish you the top of the mornln'.' "Nebraska," said the senator, "looks magnificent to me. Boy and man, I have known her moods for many, many years, and her adornments are steadily gaining on my sentiments and my love. In all sincerity I can say there Is none to com pare with my own state and my own people. Bat One Sentiment. With reference to the conclusion of the peace of Portsmouth, Senator Millard frankly spoke his belief: "There Is but one sentiment existent among people I have met since my returns That Is to the effect that our president has achieved by good Judgment and strong effort something that could not possibly have been done by any European monarch. This Is the sentiment on both sides of the water. Everybody expressed gratification that the chief magistrate of the America nation had the prescience and determin ation to do, and did do what ought to be done. This Is especially true for the reason that so long as the war existed there was a possibility of other nations becoming mixed up in It. The outcome is very pleas ing." On the question of international recip rocity Senator Millard said: "Nowhere Is there any word unfavorable, so far as I could Judge, The whys and wherefores do not concern the people. They seem to be friendly to the spirit of the proposition." Euilarants In Sonth America. On another branch of International man euvering, the senator had this to say: "The German government Is giving spe cial attention at this time to placing emi grants In BraslI, the Argentine Republic and other wide places of the same charas ter In that section. I was struck by the strength of the German steamship com panies in this connection. And let me say with all the emphasis possible that It la humiliating to Americans abroad to note that our flag does not show up on tha seas as It was wont to do. We have practically no ships on the ocean. Our commerce is carried on in or through the ships and companies of other nations. "Coming home one phase of the ameni ties of nations waa forcibly presented to me. un me ml Touraine. tne ship we traveled on, were two engineers ot tho French establishment sent out to consult with our own engineers as to the Panama canal. The chief of the delegation, Adolphe Guerard, Is Inspector general of roads and bridges In France, a -scholarly and most entertaining expert. He will bo here until January of next year, which would seem to Indicate that our effort to construct a navigable canal Is fully appreciated by the government which first Inaugurated the project." Internal Economy Abroad. Speaking of his observations of the In ternal economy of France and Switzerland, where he spent some time, Senator Millard said: "The thing that mainly Impresses ths observer in those countries, France espe cially, is the consistent economy of the people. It may with profit be commended to our own people. There is nothing so striking In Europe as the economy prac ticed by the French people. It is natural and of daily practice, as much a part of their life as anything they have. We waste more than will sustain them, and yet they live well. Our study of this sub ject has hardly begun." Asked about tho possible time of opening the campaign he contemplates In Nebraska the senator said, with a deprecating smile: "It Is entirely too early to talk of it, and no one wants to talk of it yet. We are getting along very nicely. Let us wait until the tide comes In. Harvesting wheat and gathering an Immense corn crop, the people of Nebraska are too busy to con- alder such things. When the time comes, all right; but not now." INSURANCE CALLED A FAKE Whole Proposition la Denounced by Norrla Brown In a Peti tion as Graft. Attorney General Norrls Brown has filed his answer In the United States circuit court to the complaint of the Mutual Re serve Life Insurance company of New York against Edward M. Searle, auditor of the state of Nebraska, and John L. Pierce, Insurance deputy of Nebraska. The pell- tlon severely arraigns Van B. Lady, agent of the company, personally and in caustic. terms denounces methods of life Insurance companies, saying "the whole insurance proposition Is a graft and a fake."

LETS OLD COUPLE HAVE HIS LOWER COUCH Takes I pper One and Refuaee to Heed Proteata of Venerable Man and Woman Agalnat Hla Klndneaa. President Roosevelt's desk Is piled high with congratulations from the powerful men of the earth who pay tribute to him for his part in bringing about peace be tween Russia and Japan, but there is a fair doubt if even the pope's cablegram will give the president more satisfaction than news of an Incident that happened in Omaha Thursday night. Kermit Roosevelt was on his way home from a shooting tour In South Dakota with his father's old friend and comrade, Seth Bullock. In the baggage car was the hide of a bruin that young Roosevelt had slain, but In accordance with orders from his distinguished parent the boy traveled alone and with a tight mouth. No Idle boast ings about bear killing for him. His father would hear the story and this was enough. Cornea In on Burlington. Ths Burlington train on which the boy rode pulled Into the Omaha station, the ono that Elbert Hubbard says Is the most ar tistic railway station In the country. The president's son had a nice, comfortable lower berth in a Pullman. A state room he disregarded as too luxurious after the life in the open. Most of the sleeping car passengers had retired. Kermit was fast asleep, ' An old gentleman and hla wife, eastward bound, got on the train hare. For several hours they had been fretting about sleep ing car accommodations. At the last minute they found out that they must take an upper berth or none. They discussed the matter with the porter and pleaded In front of Hermit's berth. The boy was awakened. He heard ths conversation. Looking out he saw thn age of the couple and guessed their In firmities. Ha did not hesitate, but called out in boyish voice: "Take my berth, please. I etn sleep ss well in the upper as the lower." Little Kellovr Goes Above. The couple Waverlngly protested. Young Roosevelt was firm and to clinch matters had the porter prepare the upper berth. An Instant later a small "pajamaed" figure swung up through the curtains and tum bled Into the upper berth. rf l - i . .. a ,o uiu iiiiiii nun . gentleman, lie sun Y stood on courtesy and asked the boy to reconsider.

They made him show them the bear's pelt at the first stop; compelled him to recite the story of hi hunt, much against his will, and aake him all manner of foolish questions about himself, his family nnd his sister, Alice. . who has Just completed her happy trip In the orient.
