WHAT CHARTER HAS TO SAY ON IT Toanh Legnl Point t Sol re U What Constitutes a MdlflcatIoa of Fraaenlse Inch a TkU. Tho announcement that Attorney W. J. Connell expected to have the new (28 (as street llenting ordinance passed by the council atter two weeks publication In The Bee and World-Herald, even though Judge Button decided It is a modification of the franchise In that it refers to the lamps and not the quanlty of gas consumed per hour, has caused no end of surprise. Assistant City Attorney Uerdinan was asked about the matter and read section It of the charter. No ordinance granting, extending or modifying the conditions of any franchise shall be passed until at least two weeks shall Jave elapsed after Us introduction, nor ' 1U1 af ler the same has been pub llsheu 'daily for two weeks In two estab lished daily papers of the city. No new franchise shall hereafter be granted, nor any extensions of franchise heretofore granted be lawful unless an annuity to the city be provided, based upon either a fixed reasonable amount per year, or a per centage on tne gross earnings of the owners of Bald franchise, nor until a proposition for the same has been sub mitted to a vote of the electors of the city at a general city election, or a special city election called for that purpose, and to carry such proposition It shall require a majority of the elctora voting on such proposition. Not Generally Indcratood. , "This section of the charter Is not gen erally understood," said the assistant city attorney. "It makes It look as though nothing stands- iu -tbe we-y-of changing the prices and other stipulations of any franchise provided the corporation inter ested on one hand and the mayor and council on'the other agree to it. The tough legal point to solve is what constitutes a modification. It might be argued that a change In price Is more than a modification and so on. On tha face, however, It looks very much to me as though the right of the people to grant franchises Is pretty nearly rendered without value, if the mayor and council have the right to assent to vital modifications, proposed or desired by the corporation Interested. It Is clear that extensions cannot be granted without sub- CARNIVAL PIAtlO SALE AT HOSPE'S A BIG SUCCESS Home and out-of-town piano buyers are crowding the A.

So far as I can see, unless the word 'modification' can be Interpreted dif ferently, not a single franchise outstand ing Is iron-clad If the company Interested and the mayor and council will it other wise. "With these facts in consideration it is easy to undertsand how Judge Sutton con sent to the gas street lighting ordinance, provided It Is published two weeks before final passage." LOYAL LEGION AND THE GUARD Nebraska. Commandery Will Help tho Local Companies lersre aa Armory, General J. H. Culver, adjutant general of the Nebraska National Guard. General Charles F. Manderson and Clement Chase were last night appointed a committee to represent the Nebraska commandery of the Loyal Legion in the effort that Is to be made at once to secure an armory building in Omaha. The three companies of the National Guard now in Omaha maintain separate armories at a considerable expense to themselves, the state granting only $250 a year for rentals. If they could be housed In one building it would not Only lessen the burden they now bear, but at once place them on a battalion footing with a major In command. Oeneral Culver Introduced the subject In a written communication In which he urged the co-operation of committees to be ap pointed from the Loyal Legion, the Grand Army of the Republic, the Commercial club and the Business Men's association, all working together to raise a fund or bring pressure to bear for a legislative appro priation, or both. The Idea seemed to meet with Instant approbation. Captain Broatch, General Bates of Aurora and Mr. Chase SDoke on the subject. The paper of the evening was read by General Bates, who described the bravery of the colored troops under his command at the siege of Petersburg. This brought out reminiscences by Companion Broatch and Dr. Coffman, who added their testi mony to the- very Interesting recital of the valor of "The Black Regiment." The following were elected to member ship In the Nebraska commander: Way land Wells Magee and Jerome Pratt Ma gee, grandsons of Colonel James H. Pratt of this city, and Allan Brlttaln Wilson, son of William L. Wilson of Nebraska City. DAN BALDWIN IS MISSING Omaha DoUotire Asiigni Salary, Drawi it and Leaves the City.

Baldwin of the Omahla police force assigned his September salary at least four times and his October wages once, collected the money, and left the city for parts unknown, according to evl dene supplied at the city hall. The first assignment presented was to L. Heller ana was for September and October as well The Sentember claim will be paid to Heller, as he had the luck to get his as sianment over the bars first. The other assignments were to L. A. . Goldsmith saloon keeper of the burnt district, to tho Duff Green Loan company and to Arthur Metx. The last named assignment was presented, but not accepted. It came in later than the others, which appeared at different hours September 26. That some thing was wrong was suspected In tha comptroller's department,-but nothing was said about the matter until L. A. Gold smith appeared with the Information that Detective Baldwin had shaken Omaha dust and the delights of the Ak-Sar-Ben from his sturdy frame, got his hands on bunch of money and lit out. Last Time on Duty. Baldwin was on duty tha last time week ago Monday night. He was working on the night shift at tha city Jail at (ha time and was emergency officer. He gave no intimation of his sudden departure to the officials of tha police department. Chief Donahue and others of the department are at a loss to account for Baldwin' conduct. Baldwin was one of the most reliable and valued officers on the Omaha polloe force. There was nothing too has- ardous for him to undertake. His KNOCKS OUT NUMBER MAIL DELIVCRY (Impends Order Recently Made Grant. las; Postmasters Permission to 80 Distribute Mall In Rnral Free Delivery Districts. Another battle has been won by the retail grocers In their fight against the catalogue houses. The order of the fost of fice department giving postmasters per mission to deliver mall to rural free de livery boxes 'when addressed to them by number only, has been suspended. The order In question was Issued August Before the month was over the retail merchants an their friends learned that letters and circulars, hundreds and thou sands of them, were pouring Into the far mers of the west from catalogue houses In Chicago and other large cities. They. were addressed by the number of the route and the box. A trade paper of St. Louis called the at tention of the trade press to the matter. Trade papers all over the country took up the matter and as a result of their efforts and the protests " of numerous grocers' organizations, the order has been suspended, that part at least, which per mits delivery of mall by number only. The part of the order which permits the postmaster to furnish lists of numbers on rural free delivery routes, still stands. Blow to Catalogue Houses. Tha suspension, is a hard blow to tha catalogue houses. Their business Is to sell goods directly to farmers and other consumers on he representations of their catalogues, and they have spent thousands of dollars getting and trying to keep corrected, lists of farmers along free de livery routea. This practice proved very expensive. When the recent order of the department went into effect it meant that the big houses found It no longer necessary to go to the expense and trouble of keeping tha corrected list of namea. All that was neces sary was to write to a postmaster and ask him for the numbers of his routes and tha numbers of the boxes along the routes. He was permitted to furnish them. If he did not It was easy for the catalogue houses to get the route numbers and they knew that the box numbers ran at least as high as fifty. They sent their mall by number and the postmaster waa bound to-deliver It. A local trade paper, the Retail Merchants Journal, Is urging the merchants to take action to Insure the final abolishment of the suspended order. It advises them to write to the postmaster general and to their congressmen protesting agalnat the numbering of rural free delivery boxes and especially against tha deltvey of mall by numbers.

This because Mr. Smyth has secured an Injunction against his neighbors. Patrick and Mrs. O'Brien, to compel them to keep their chickens at home. The Injunction was is sued by Judge Troup upon the application of Mr. Smyth, who In his petition alleges that the chickens, ducks and dogs owned by the O'Briens come upon his lawn and feed and scratch around and make of his lawn a regular chicken lot, and though he had repeatedly asked the O'Briens to keep them at home, they did not do so. 1 Terrible Dlsaater Averted.

A number of years ago Baldwin disap peared suddenly, to turn up later at Kan sas City, where he was picked up by the police In a atate of mental aberration. He returned to Omaha and since that time has been a faithful officer.
