DRAKE Mr. Vates Says It Woald JSot Ba.nk.lns; Mr. Barloir Thinks It Might Help Coun try Banks. Be The bill passed by the.houe Wednesday, which, if passed by the senate and signed by the president, will permit national banks to loan money ou real estate. Is not looked upon with favor by the national banks of Omaha. "I am opposed to city banks being per- mltted to loan money on real estate," said l.urher Drake. Drtsldent of the Merchants' National bank. "The banks in reserve cities should have their money loaned-on what we call quick assets. I'm satisiW with the present law. There are cascf, however. In which banks In small towns thoroucrhTares to properly protect the puh can be permuted with absolute safety and ! lie in a way the council may find' neces'ary to loan with MnmA ilekrrA nt i.in vertihilil v. money on real estate." "It wouldn't be banking to do t,hat ku'd of business," said Henry V. Yatej, presi- i--nt of the Nebraska National bttrik. "When a man wants his money, he wujiis It.' Ho doesn't want to be told that we have his money In real estate and he mu:it wait until we get It out. While loans on real estate might be beneficial under cer tain conditions to hanks In 'country locali ties, yet It would demoralize the business to have city banks follow the practice, and I don't st-e how It could be permitted to One unless to the other." 4 1 believe," said Milton Ilnrlow. president of the I'nlted Stues National bank. it would be beneficial to the country btnks if they were permitted to loan a reasonable proportion of their funds on real estate securities, but I do not think a city bank, which is acting as a depository for country banks, should loan Its funds for long-time upon real estate." Press reports say that Congressman Ken nedy spoke against the bill on the ground that it is class legislation, Inasmuch as it does not Include city real estate as will as farm land. The local bankers are of the opinion, though they have no positive knowledge, that Mr. Kennedy was against the whole proposition. NOVELTIES Frenier. 15th and Dot). MACHINE FOR MORE POWER Coatraet Closed by Street nallway Company tor Increased Motor for Plant. The Omaha St Council Bluffs Street Rail way company closed a contract Wednesduy with the General Electric company of Chi cago for a 2.000-kllowatt alternating current machine, turbine driven. The contract calls for the delivery of the new machine within six months and the company now expects to have the new service Installed in time for the heavy travel of -next fall at the time of the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities. The new machine will be installed In the new power house of the company on the river front and the current will be sent out of the power house at 17,000 volts to three substations, one to be erected in the north ern part of the city, one In the southern part and one a portable converter which will be used at Manawa during the summer months. The current will be converted at J the substations to 6u0 volts, at which volt I age It will be put onto the trolley lines. i ine cost or tne new machine Is over $100,000 and to this will be added the cx pense of the heavy copper wires to the substations, the construction of the sub stations and the other converting ma chinery. all ef which will bring the cost or the changes to about $260,000. This has been made neceaaary by the extension of lines to the suburbs, which draws heavily on ine electricity and makes It hard td get enough current to pull the heavy cars at the ends of the lines. The company also anticipates the coo y-uctlun of additional lints and the new power plant is needed to meet the heavy aittnanas. S00 Set Rings Copley, jeweler, 215 8. Wth, Boas; Reeltal at Millard.

Borne desultory action along this llnejias been taken by the present council, but no concerted effort has been made by that body to protect the city's life and limb at theas danger points. An awakening ha occurred and members of the council whose j special duty it la to look after this feature of the municipal life promise to do real things and that without further delay. "I think the editorial hit the nail on the head. I stand ready to work with the council as far as I can In the matter cf regulating the maintenance of grade cross ings in Omaha. I think It la an Important matter and trust the council wll realise i the importance of It," said Mayor Dahl man. Mayor Will Present It. Mayor Dahlman will bring this matter before the council In the way of a recom mendation and urge that the council ex ercise the authority vested by the charter by compelling the railroads to do the need ful thing at unprotected crossings. Councilman Jeff W. Bedford of the rail way and viaducts committee says nothing Is being dona In any general sense at this time to protect these crossings, but ha was glad the matter had been brought up and declared his committee would give the matter early and vigorous attention. The matter will be brought up. It Is thought. at the next general committee meeting on Monday afternoon. Councilman Funkhouser, though not a member of the railways committee, Is In terested In this question and expressed the hope the railways committee would do their duty in the premises and thus relieve any other councilman of the discourteous act cf "hutting In" and doing what that commit tee should do. , . What InTestla-atloa Shows. An investigation made Thursday morning In this connection disclosed the fact that the Missouri Paclflo Railroad company had failed to provide a flagman at the crossing at Thirty-third and Bpaulding streets, al though that company was directed to do so by the olty clerk last September. Tho city clerk acted under authority of a con current resolution Introduced by Council man Bedford and duly adopted by the coun cil and signed by the mayor. The resolu tion ordered the Missouri Pacific compan;, to place a flagman at Thirty-third and Spaultllna; streets on or befor! Octi.be- l.

And for a considerable period a 300-pound soldier stood guard over a Salvation Army Christmas pot In front of the federal build ing on Sixteenth street, calling to passers by to drop In their mite, while the young woman who had stood there so patiently In the cold went into the big building and got warm. The old veteran was 8. M. Mann, a West Virginian, who rode down the valley that immortal day with Sheridan in 1S64. He dropped Into Omaha Wednesday to testify in the land trials. He was standing on the big steps of the federal building, when he observed the "tinkle, tinkle" of the lassie's tap on the steel pot, calling for contribu tions with which the Salvation Army might gladden sad hearts at the Christmas time. "Blame me, if I don't go and raise the gal's bet and beat that drum awhile my self," and he did, and his stalwart form and his prosperous air, his Arm voice and I his happy face drew many a nickel and many a dime Into that Christmas pot. lie started off the donations himself with a good sited coin, ao that people saw. he meant It. When the young woman returned to her post to relieve her volunteer aide she pro fusely thanked the old soldier and gave him her blessing.
