I TITE OMAILV DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1905. B MOVi-TO REVIVE YE1SER LAW Independent Tlphni and dtTtlaaa Git Faopl Want Initiative and Bafaraadnm. PETITIONS ARC BUNG CIRCULATED Effort Pftn aa Elertloa Day Ar Stimulated Since Aimii Baal. as, rrAfesnlonal aaa TVorkla Hti. John O. Ydser" Initiative and referendum law, which has laid - Inoperative on the etatute book for a number of years,' la to be brought to the front again and a deter mined attempt made to have it approved by the voter In Omaha eo It can be, used In this city In efforts to get new gas and telephone franchise. On election day The Bee printed the fact that In some precincts petitions calling upon the city clerk to submit the question to the voters at a special election were , being presented ' to the cltisens who ap peared at the polla. '.At that time no In formation was given out by the circulators : as to who was behind the move. , Since election .day the petitions have had a more active circulation among business, professional and working-men.- One . man was approached four times Saturday morn ing by as . many men bearing as many different petitions of the. same Import. It Is said signatures are not coming as rapidly as 'desired. ' ' , .. .' Popular .Vote Reeae. .' The. lnltlatlvo and referendum law pro vides that it shall be effective only In com munities where It has. been submitted to . popular vote and approved. If - It is ap proved by a majority of cltisens voting on the question per cent of the voters may, at any time, petition the council for any thing they want in the shape of franchisee or other legislation. If the petitions are sufficient and good It is mandatory on the council to submit the question and If the question carries the council and mayor must carry out the popular will. In submitting the question for the ap proval or rejection of the law the city clerk Is the officer who must comply with the demands of the petition. Before, when efforts have been made to have the law submitted, the courts have spoiled the at tempt by declaring the petitions Insufficient and lacking the proper qualifications. What Elbonrn Says. "I am not very familiar with the law on the subject." said City Clerk Elbourn. "but whatever the law directs mo to do shall be the rule I shall follow." President Zlmman of the council was asked what he knew about the petitions. "As I understand It," said he, "the move was made first by the Cleveland people Who want a dollar gas franchise. These people have by no means given up the fight to get the grant. They started the petitions going. Now, I believe, the Independent telephone franchise seekers, have Joined, or. at any rate, are supporting the affair. Therefore the petitions arc' being Circu lated." 'Councilman ' Dyball said he had positive Information the' petitions he had heard about were gat up and circulated by the Independent telephone Interests. President Zlmman thought 'only the gas syndlcata had got the thatter under way. ' ' ' INDICTS FORMER CONGRESSMAN William D. Owea Areasea of Gettlac Cask la Fraadaleat Deal la Laaa. BOSTON, Nov. 11. Indictments were re ported by the grand Jury of Suffolk county today against Ferdinand E. Borgea, form erly director and alleged promoter of the Vbero Plantation company, and former Congressman William D. Owen of Indiana, an alleged associate of Borgea. The Indict ments, which are Identical, charge Borges and Owen with obtaining more than $26,000 by fraud from Charles W. Abbott, Edwin O. Child, John M. lenders and Warren P. Page, Investors In the company. , It Is alleged that Owen and Borge con spired to bring about the larcencles with which they are charged. The grand Jury's action follows a long Investigation by a committee of stockholders of the company as well aa.an Inquiry pursued by the re ceivers, who were appointed on petition of the petitioning committee. . Borges was arraigned today and bonds of 175,000 were Imposed by the court to hold him for further hearing. In opposing a motion for a reduction of ball the as sistant district attorney reviewed the op erations of the I'bero company and said that' 175,000 was the least amount of ball that should be required In view of the fact that : the defendants "reaped f 1,000,000 by this conspiracy." ' Owen has represented Indiana In congress. He was also secretary of state of Indiana and was Immigration commissioner In New York under President .Harrison. CANAL IN STATE 'DEPARTMENT uggeattoa Blade ia Washington that Secretary Root Have Chars of Big Ditch. WASHINGTON, Nov. ll.-An echo of the. suggestion that the Isthmian canal should be placed under the State department has been heard In a rumor of the possibility that the Insular bureau which grew up un der the direction of Secretary Root when he was at the head of the War department may be transferred to the State depart ment. Discussion of the matter has not taken any concrete form, but it Is one of the sug gestions made to relieve the secretary of war of the heavy responsibilities which now rest upon - him In administering not only the affairs of the army, but the Phil ippines, the Panama canal and other island interests. It argued that Secretary Root's past familiarity with the Philippines will enable him to take up the work which has been carried by Secretary Taft It would require legislation to bring about the change, as the Insular bureau was legis lated Into the War department when the Philippine government bill was passed. ROOSEVELT FAVORS NIAGARA President Weala Have Xataral Warn- 4 era el Falls Preserved by LeaJslatloa. i VTARUIXflTON', Nov. 1L President Roosevelt placed himself on record today strongly In favor of the preservation in tart of the wonder of 'Niagara Falls. To visitors who called to urge the presi dent to use his Influence through the com bined action of the American and Canadian governments for the preservation of the Niagara Fs.Ha and to prevent the diversion of their waters to commercial and Indus trial uses the president said he regarded It as a great national duty to do all that might be in his power to preserve Niagara Falls and that In his message to congress he would recommend action along that line with all the force with which he was cap able. He said that he believed Niagara Falls, the grand canyon of the Colorado, the big trees of California and the Buffalo should be preserved for posterity. Cali fornia, he added, had presented to the na tion a grove of the big trees, and If the state of New Tork could not preserve Ni agara. Falls Inviolate the national govern ment Should step In to keep them as they are now for the American people as one of the natural wonders . of the . world. The president said that If he were to make a public address before the convening of congress he would take the opportunity to speak In favor of preservation of Niagara Falls.

The general manager says that this company has been doing an extensive business In contracting with large concerns for advertising matter, books, blank books and general printing, and has bocome quite noted for Its artistic produc tions. Recently several orders were received fiom points within 100 miles of Chicago. The work heretofore ha been done In Chi cago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Omaha. The company has now taken a five-year lease of the third floor. 1210 Howard street. It being found difficult to obtain satisfac tory composition of the artlstlo work for which this company haa become famous and the Increase of It business appear to Justify the owning and operating of -a complete plant for this purpose. The company will also furnish hand and machine coin position for the trade. The company proposes to contract Its press work and binding a heretofore. An ad- i yet tnat tne ge are getting a gratifying Half Slsea la Clothing;. The Introduction, at the beginning of the season, of half sizes In clothing by the originators. Browning, King St Co., gave rise to quite an Interesting controversy on clothing sixes In retail stores. Browning, King & Co. had been at .work on half sixes for upwards of. a year, and at first contemplated bringing the new Idea out last spring, but later It was de cided to Introduce It for fall. The first announcement of the ' Innovation woke other clothiers to a realisation of Just where they were "at.'.' Now' that Browning, King & Co., are reaping a harvest from the hard to fit people with their half sixes which are not only very much talked about,-but .'looked upon , by other . clothiers', as . about the strongest selling point Introduced In cloth ing In a long while there are others who desire to Impress the public with the fact that they have a number of slxea for men of different proportions. '" V ' '":' Browning, King Co. are the originator and' sole makers of half sixes in clothing. Why half sizes are necessary: A man, alse 40, may be t feet 2, or as tall as feet S. To fit him In 'either case, they cut regular, regular shorts, stouts, longs, extra longs five sizes all having the same breadth. The man of a half Inch larger measurement now has the same variety at all our stores and nowhere else. This ha been the way with hats, shoes, gloves and collars; and why not with coats? Measure yourself are you ' Just an even size, or half an Inch larger? In the controversy on sizes, those most Interested In pursuing Inquiries have made the discovery that In the majority of special order houses making clothe to measure for hard to fit patrons of the ready-made clothier, half Inch measure ment predominate. This would aeem to be a strong argument In favor of half else, and to Illustrate the strength of Browning, King Co's. position. Whether the firm's remarkable business this season I due to half slsea, to It tyle and fabrics, to the general pros perity of the country, or to all of these things together.
