about-Omaha Wednesday afternoon while
speaking before the committee of cltkwn

the guidance: o 3-! TOennody, has gone
lr.to the subje6t ; UwiroUghly. Four meet

on water, power, )ectrirty, cubic feet of

sons, rainfall ftntf conservation of natural
tesources, have been given free rein and
many have talked, several times, their total
time running Into aeverat hours.
Mr. Tlesewater toook occasion to ridicule
the publication by two newspapers of tho
Statement' that, the .whole water project
being promoted by H.'U. Babcock and his
associates isas financed '.and ready to go
to wrl and' the: Quoting of a letter or con
tract over three year old to prove that
their statements were true.
Dmws Oat - Babcock.
At this pAInt Mr.. Babcock explained the
situation 'as given Jn The Bee. that so far
at eastern- and Swiss capital financing s
concerned both the. Wall street money and
tha-t of the 8Wlss bankers is ready, but it la
d i fa hi , 41f t qUre a ka. .. capital be

impossible '(or Nebraakana or Omahans to
secure the controlling Interest in the com

But Ve want Awo or, more directors on our'

Tba capitalists of the east do not want the

want Ja make It a home corporation and we
are incorporated In Nebraska. Everything
will., go better and there will not be that
feeling' bf antagonism against our com

tbe,propt!tlon. ' For that reason, we are
making the tamp proposition to. Nebraskans
that we are. taking ouraelvea. Every dollar

City Electrician w W. Mlchaelsen read a
paper which he filed with the committee,
In. which he held that the Babcock scheme
was nothing but a bunch of Juggled figures
and that 60,000 electrical horsepower could
not be sold for a cent per kilo-watt hour
and Interest" paid on the bonds which Mr.
Babcock proposes to Issue.
W. 8. King, engineer of the Union Stock
Tards company, said he had arrived at a
very good estimate of the amount of power
needed in Omaha and South Omaha and
he thought 14,000 horaepower would run
everything In the city or In both cities.
He did not know what could be done In
marketing 60,Ouo horsepower. In. speaking
of cost, Mr. King said he paid two
bills last month which averaged 119 per
horsepower for thirty 22-hour days, and
that It was cheap power at that, at he 1
wat securing It for 6 Centt per klio-watt
hcur and jteam would cost over twice as
much as he wat paying for electric power.

WORK OF THE WOMEN'S CLUBS
Hofmann'i "Head of Christ" Hung- at
Young Men's Christian Association.
PRESENTED BY ART DEPARTMENT
Local Biennial Board Again Vrges
Clnbs to Report Desired Reserva
tion (or Delegates at Btar
Boston Meeting;.
The art department of the Omaha
Woman's club has presented to the local
Young Men's Christian association a copy
of Hofmann's "Head of Christ." The
picture, which was placed Thursday morn
ing. Is an Imported gravure, 14x40 Inches
outside, and is framed In a four-inch
Copley brown frame. The picture hangs
in the lobby of the association bulWing
where it can be seen from every place
and is the first picture to be hung on
the lobby walla. A brass plate on the
frame bears the Inscription, "Presented
by the Art Department of the Omaha
Woman's Club."
This gift la merely another of. many,
such pictures that have been hung in tho
school rooms, at the Union statlonln the
library and other public places in the
City by the art department in pursuance
of Its policy of extending interest and
iciciunj art
Biennial Plans.
The local blennra.1 committee of (Boston
urges all possible haste In the election
of delegates to the biennial that the en
tertainment committee may be notified
aa .soon as possible regarding the reserva
tion of hotel accommodations. The com
mlttee announces that already the Indica
tions sre of an attendance exceeding 14
000. This is nearly double the number
of women who have attended any past
Dienniai and the local committee fears this
estimate, which Is conservative, will fall
considerably short of the actual attend
ance.
, Details of the biennial program wtli be
given out soon, it being expected that
they will be presented first at the spring
meeting of the Massachusetts federation
10 ne neld April 2 at Hudson
The fact that tfie Btats 'redefafj'dn Is
entertaining the biennial -entitles -that
organisation to at least some advance rn-
rormatlon on the big biennial. It la x
pected that delegates from New Tork
ana omer neighboring State federations
will visit the Hudson" meeting for the
purpose of hearing the plans and con
ferring with the Massachusetts women. .

NEW TORK, April St-There was a no
table gathering of editors and publishers at
the Waldorf-Aatof la tonight, the occasion
being a joint banquet, .of. the Associated
Press, and the American Newspaper pub
lishers' association, both of which are
holding thelf annual meetings In this city.
Eveix state Vnd territory of the United
States was" represented by those who have
earned distinction In tha newspaper profes
sion, and their guests Included W. J. Bryan,
United States Senator, PMlander C. Knox
of Pennsylvania asd others of publlo In
fluence. " ' i ' .' . r .
At the president's table were General
Charles H.. Taylor or! the Boston Globe, the
toastmaster; Herman Rldder. editor end
publisher ofj-the New YorkZeJtung, and
president of the AmerleanruSllshers' asso
ciation; FraAk B. NoyesMif the Chicago
Record-Herajd, the jjreildent of the Asso
ciated Press; Senator Knox, Mr. Bryan,
Bishop jrrederltk Burgess of the Episcopal
utooeee ot ljnng latand; rom otepnen B.
Wise et the "Tree- Syhagosrue, Patrick Fran
cis Murphy,, officials of the two organisa
tions and others. - '
Mr. Rlfldef began the evening's formali
ties by 'proposing the health of the presi
dent of the United States. The toast was
drunk standing, while the orchestra played
"The Star Bpangled Banner."
General Taylor Speaks.
Mr. Rldder then explained Jokingly that
he had promised not to make a speech.
Accordingly he was obliged to bluntly in
troduce "one of the most distinguished
Journalists of this country, the editor of
the Boston Globe, General Taylor."-
This gave General Taylor, who was re
ceived with tumultuous applause, an op
portunity to say, "I do not say thst the
committee need to hsve- tied Mr. Rldder
down in such a way thai he could not give
me some complimentary praise, for I own
to you that I am ona bf that ordinary sort
of men who would rether have an ounce
of taffy, while I am alive than a ton of
epitatphy after I am dead."
Rabbi Wise addressed the diners ss fel
low muckrakers and for half an hour
kept them In roars of laughter as he re
lated a series of pointed incidents. In a
more serious vein. Rabbi Wise discussed
the Influence of the press, saying that he
"would venture to . say tonight that the
man with the greatest power, the tnli
who perhaps does more to shape things In
the United States than any other Is the
manager of the .Associated Press."
Rabbi Wise further said:
"The press must be the great servant,
the great protagonist of freedom, every
where, but gentlemen tote this; The
press cannot be a real servsnt, a real
furtherer of freedom, 'unless Jtself be free.
One thing I want to lay upon your hearts
tonight Is to adjure' you to free your
selves from the ' enslavemepts and - the
tyranny of power, of partisanship, of sec
tionalism and of. -prejudice.
'"What do I mean, by freeing yourselves
from the enslavements of power t I mean,
for one thing, .the money power. Granted
that money is needed in very large quan
tities to conduct-a great modern news
paper, stiH ' the press must say to the
power bf gftld; ,. '.'. ' ' .
" 'Thus far . sftajl, thou go and no further;
thou shalt not dollsiUe my soul.1- jj

lasceatlon from Mr. Bryan,
Mr. Bryan, who had received a Cordial
greeting when he entered the dining hall,
wet given ' another kindly expression at
he rose to speak. Mr. Bryan spoke for some
moments in a humorous line of thought,
replying in kind to earlier sallies at his ex
pense. Ho then said in part:
It occurs td me that this its a good D'ace
to present a thought which I believe to bs
worthy of consideration. The metropolitan
newspaper is becoming more and more a
business .enterprise ana less a political or
gan. J lie aaveriiaing columns ot a paper
are nun-puiuii-m imu wnere me circula
tion is large the readers ate so divided
politically me papers are Dy thli
very fact restrained from partlsanahm
Then, too, the owner of a big newspaper
u seiaom auie id an me eouoriai work
and he must depend upon others to write
me eauonais; mo paper Decomes lesj and
less representative of the personal opin
ions of sny one. As the years so bv, and
as the circulation and advertising puron
age" increases, the' papers show an in.
creasing inclination .towards political Inde
pendence, in view ot mis tendency in
modern Journalism. It seems to ma that
the time Is ripe for an experiment. It Is
much easier lor a paper to be bi-partisin
than non-partisan; that Is, easier to repre
sent both sides than to discuss publlo ques
tions without taking either side. If the
proprietor really wanted to conduct a non
partisan paper, and. If. the readers relly
want to- subscribe for a non-partisan
paper, why would not both proprietor and
reader be better satisfied With a DaDar
which represented the news Impartially in
us news columns ana then give to each
any representation on Ita eilliorlal page?
f for instance a big metropolitan caDer
wants to become really Independent, why
should It not employ a representative- ot
each ot the parties ha furnish signed edi
torials on political queationsf
Such a paper would appeal to all parties
and especially to those who sre snxlnua
to know both sides of every public question
is It not an experiment worth trying?
Bona tor Knox followed Mr. Bryan, de
livering a characteristic speech that elicited
much applause.
Cannon Charged with Bnd Faith.
During the afternoon Session eresolutlon
was adopted thanking President Roosevelt
for his kindly coursgeous message in favor
of a free pulp and print paper. Another
resolution was adopted which reads at

combinations of paper makers to raise paper

have repulsed all auch efforts. The
speaker of the house has turned away his
face whenever any member tried to raise
the Issue on. the floor of the house. We
are now amased to find that Messrs. Can
non. Payno and Dalzell have changed their

for th authority of congress, we respect
fully state that we mistrust the com
mittee Just appointed. We challenge the
Intentions of those who have thus far Suc
ceeded in sidetracking the Stevens bill. We
charge that action on the Stevens bill has
been delayed to the advantage of a com
bination of paper makers, who. In a des
perate effort to maintain artificial prices
on a declining market, have ahut out
nearly 60 per cent of their mills snd who
by throwing Into Idleness a considerable
number of their employes have shown the
Insincerity of their professions that the
tariff duty on paper was needed to pro

RIVALRY IN BIG SHIR BUILDING
Thenaand-Foot Shin Planed for Pas
senger and Freight Service
n' Atlantic.
Announcement is msde that the present
year will see the beginning, of the building
of two 1,000-foot steamships for the Atlan
tic passenger snd freight service. Once
there was an ocean steamship which was
so large snd so powerful that It was called
the wonder of the day. It measured 160
feet in length over all and was equipped
with engines of no less than SOO-horse-power.
It was as much a wonder, of the
day and of the world, then' at the Maure
tanla Is now; and more, since It was a far
greater novelty and a far greater advance
beyond the pre-existing types of vessels.
Doubtless people imagined or. If we may
perpetrate the bull, at least those without
Imagination Imagined that that ship was
practically the last word In naval archi
tecture and engineering, and that nothing
materially to surpass It was reasonably to
be expected.
There may be men Still living who re
member teeing, perhaps who traveled on,
that wonder of the day. There are many,
not yet old, who well remember the great
floating palaces, ss they were regarded
In those days, of the Collins line which
decked the American ensign with the blue
ribbon of the seas. There are plenty who
remember when the stanch old 6 or via was
the pride of the Atlantic ferry. Then came
the City of Rome, with the distinction of
being the largest ship afloat and' with the
supposed disadvantage in the minds of
some, of being too large for practical use.
Afterward the Campania and the Lucanla
were known for years as the "oil CU'
naders," snd even the thoughtful and Ju
dlclous were confident that the limit had
been reached, and that. Indeed, the limit
of profit had been considerably passed.
But the Baltic and others presently sur
passed even them In slse, and some also In
speed, the last year saw the advent of
the thus far unequalled Lusltanla and
Mauretanla.
Would It be wise or prudent now to As
sume that the 1.000-foot monsters which
are promised, and which will exceed the
Lusltanla and Mauretanla far more than
these exceed their Immediate predecessors
will be the last- word In the Increase of
Ships' else? We doubt it It Is quite eon.
ceiyable that their number will be . mul
tiplied, by various companies and under
various flags, and that within the next
few years some rival company or some
more daring constructor will put Into- the
water ships surpassing them In slse at
much as they will surpatt their predeces
sors. New York Tribune.
HOW PROJECTILES ARE MADE
Great Secrecy Maintained In Making
Messengers of Deatrnc-
- tlon.
An article on naval gun projoctlles says
the utmost secrecy attends the making of
the projectiles. Whether manufactured on
the government premises or by private con
cerns, the guards stationed at the gates
will (lew, no one to enter without the
best kind of credentials. Thus provided,
however, the privilege of visiting the pro
jectile factory can be made one , of the
greatest Interest. Several phasas of tba
work, however, are not for Outalda evea
This applies especially to the department
where the Ingredients used in converting
the Swedish Iron into steel are mixed with
the metal. ,f
The molten steel Is poured Into molds
and then sent to the heating furnaoe as the
next stage of manufacture. In the forg
ing shops the Immense hammers beat the
ingot Into shape. In the machine shops
the filing, sawing and grinding processes
are putting the finishing- touches to the
projectile. Finally, If the thlrteen-lnqh
projectile Is the slse in question; it standi
complete, weighing 1,100 pounds. But the
end is not quite yet, it seems. For, while
a most pleasing object In its brilliant, shin
ing metal, the regulation coat of paint has
to" be applied. The navy department, be
sides, designates different kinds of paint
for different shells, and then only are they
reedy for business.
In the matter of exploding shells the
powder is not inserted shortly before
.he man of war goes Intoaction. Through
some ingenious arrangement on th and
of the projectile a dial glvea the minute
and seconds It will take before the ex
plosive is resdy to work destruction.
Summing up the possibilities of Amer.
lean gunnery and th death-dealing agency
or me projectile, tne target practice at
Magdalene bay will unquestionably prove
a revelation. The federal government does
not stint It tressury when it cornea tn
proving thlnga, and In using loaded shells
and projectiles for the purpose of demon

r.TODERATE RATES
The kitchen of one's favorite hotel
or restaurant is In reality Its most Im
portant department. Mapy of these
places where food la prepared will not
bear close Inspection and one prefers
to eat in Ignorance, feeling that
knowledge of actual conditions might
spoil the appetite. ' '
A visit to the kitchen of Hotel SU
Regis, New York's most famous living
and dining establishment, la worth tho
while of anyone who appreciates clean
liness and wholesomehess. This series!
of great white-tiled, marble-floored
halls, which Mr. Haan, the propletor
of the St. Regis, calls "The Soul" of
his hotel, may be called "a kitchen,"'
but It Is fit and Tine enough for a ban-'
quet hair It will bear closest in-'
spectlon, for It Is scrupulously clean'
and perfectly ventilated. Tha mall
army of Cooks and assistants who here
lr? "nu crele lne tempting foods
which have made the St. Regis restau
rant famous are In harmony with their'
surroundings and the edibles provided
there under the watchful eye of Chef
Ballly are such as royalty might par-,
take with delight. , .. . '
What is true of St. Regis, kitchen t
Is true of every part of this matchless t
hotel. And et the coBt of living is,
comparatively reasonable. The resteu-i
rant charges are those standard la the'
best hotels, while a beautiful outside
room may be had for $4 a day, or ouef
with private bath for $5 ($6 for two
