Y L J, SOUTH OMAHA, March t-To the Editor S of The Omaha Bee Dear Btr: Tour Lin- 1 cin correspondent. In his account of my , jayarka before the left stature on Friday on(the question of annexation, uninten- tlonally does me an injustice In saying that 1 attacked Or ridiculed' the present city ' ' council of Omaha, I certainly 'did not do f so, much iess-ould I make any alighting; ' reference to the personal appearance since I 1 never saw the present council In session ' but once and my recollection Is that they t alsed up fairly welt compared with former olty councils. I wish to say further that t did not ertt Idee the standing or equipment of our city schools, t son not well enough posted on the matter to do so Intelligently. Inctdently , I referred to the action of the school board In dismissing the schools In order that the teachers might go down to Lincoln to lobby against annexation and I still question the propriety as well as the legality of that action. Members of the legislature that I talked with, however, generally placed a i proper estimate on that mora. In all the discussions that I hare been engaged In on this question of annexation I hare endeavored aa far as possible to . avoid personalities snd Incriminations. Reckless attacks on our city officials will not bring about the consolidation of these two cities any sooner and It would also be well for the opponents of annexation to re- , member that the villlflcatlon and abuse of reputable cltlsena ' and business men who favor annexation cannot help tbalr cause any. The question la a broad one, and should be looked at from all points of view. Man?, perhaps most of the evils that are com plained of here are due to conditions that cannot be altered so long as we remain a separate municipality. In the large In dustrles that have made this city famous Jf as a packing center the demand for labor rw .1b mora or less irregular and aa a eonse quenoe we have a very large floating' popu- latlon. This makea It difficult, and at times , almost Impossible, to elect competent and qualified officials to office, and this explains many of tha serious mistakes of our muni elpal career. -Consolidation with Omaha might not remedy this entirely, but It un doubtedly would minimise the effeot,f this floating vots. The statement that annexation would bring about an increase In taxes and a re duction In real estate values I regard as puerile. In fact, I am of the opinion that the reverse would be, the case. The two cities are, in effect, one at present, and no one who is not a real estate shark can tell where the big city leaves oft and the smaller one begins. Annexation at thli time would simply bring about what is sure to oume sooner or lntef. No matter when it comes, whether this year or ten years from now, it will have to come through legislative enactment. The Interests and elements that now oppose annexation will always be able to prevent It by a popular vote. 1 firmly believe that consolidation with Omaha would mean better city govern ment, better management of our schools. JLtli extensive and more permanent public improvements, better equipped ' fire and police service and better conditions for our cltlsens generally. Believing this, I have worked and talked for annexation, but probably would not have written a Una about it had I not felt called upon to rect the impression that might have been produced by your correspondent'a account of what was said at Lincoln on Friday.

TCUR OF TRAVELING TROWEL Elaborate Ceremonies Planned by Omaha Masons on Its Arrival Hero Thursday. The famous Masonic silver trowsl. In lis Journey around the world, will visit Omaha March 7. ilauorate ceremonies are. in preparation. The idea of the traveling trowel, sym bolical ot the admonition to spread the ce ment of brotherly love on every possible ocoaelon. came to C, Fred Crosby, Justice lodge No. 7U, New York state, some two years ago. He proposed to his lodge the plan of sending out a stiver trowel to travel among the Masonic lodges throughout the woriu, spreading fraternal teaching and bringing them together In closer bond of acquaintance. Justice lodge promptly took up - the scheme, and after obtaining the sanction of the grand lode of New York, a magnificent silver trowel was manu factured, bearing upon Its face the, symbol ical figure of Justice, together with the name of the lodge, the dte and phrase, "Who Best Can Work and Best AgTee." This trowel was scleninly conaecrated and dedicated on October , 1906, by the grand lodge of New York at one of the most notable Masonic gatherings ever convened In the United States. More than 1.0U0 Mas ter Masons, Including some of the most distinguished members of the craft, partic ipated in this ceremony. .

I The Grafton case haa amused great In terest throughout the garrison and from what can be learned the funds that are be lng raised are for carrying his esse be fore the supreme court of the United Btates. Already tha soldiers of the post have subscribed In the neighborhood of 1300 and It is expected that the amount fur nlahed by Fort Riley alone will be close to Itiw.

It looks as though Fort Riley would be a busy place before many weeks nave elapsed, The latest construction authorised is an other quartermaster storehouse and the enlarging of the granary. Tentative plane are also being prepared for a new bar racks for the bakers' and cooks' School with the Idea of locating the building op posite the barracks of the farriers and horseshoeTS. A Drevlous renuest for such a building was not favorably received at Washington. The number of Inmates of the main guard house was reduced on Thursday afterhoon, when sixteen of the long term general prisoners were taken to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to serve the remainder of their sentences. Tha new term of the farriers' and horse shoars' school began on Monday morning with elghty-alx students enrolled.

Motorman Kerr saw tha hand and pulled up as soon aa he could. He, with others on the car, ran back to the culvert and traced the man by the blood stains as rar as the hill, crane went to the guardhouse and reported that a freight train had run over him, The way the mu tllntlon occurred soon became known and. after being treated at the hospital, lie was confined In the main guardhouse. The Indoor, athletlo, meet In the .gym on Wednesday evonlng , attracted a record breaking crowd, It being estimated that fully 1,500 people were in the house. The different events-as they were pulled off created plenty of enthusiasm and the vari ous contertants were encouraged to do their utmost. Tha relay race undoubtedly cre ated the most excitement, and when It was known that Troop A. Thirteenth cavalry, had won, the team's adherents turned themselves loose with a vengeance. The banner went to Troop C, Ninth cavalry, that organization having won more than three times as many points as any other. The following were the number of points scored by each competing organtzntion: Troop O, Second cavalry, 1; Troop A, Ninth cavalry. 8; Troop B. Ninth eavalrv. 10; Troop C. Ninth cavalry.
