TTTF, OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JULY 9, 190S. CURRENT COUNCIL OSn, 14 ImH FUNERAL OF FATHER SMTII Bt Francis Xavier't Clnrch Crowded by Friends of Tor cased. SEEVICES ARE MOST IMPRESSIVE Tbm Bishops and n f.arare ' n iu he r of Vlsltlngr Priests' Prtnt and rnrflrlpate In th Tribute to the Dead. The lmjir. -fulve funeral services held yes terday morning at St. Francis Xavler's church over the late Rv. Father Patrick Smyth were :i fit tin tribute to the de rensed priest and the large attendance evi denced the love and esteem In which he was hold, not only by the congregation to avtioee spiritual wants he had ministered for over seventeen years, but by the com munity at large. The seating capacity of the large audi torium of St. Francis Xavter's church was entirely Inadequate for the large number who destred by their presence a tne trrv. loe to pay their Inst respects to the dead priest. Every pew was filled and the aisles and space back of the seats was crowded with those ur.eble to find other accommodation, who stood or knelt through the Ion service, to pay tribute to him they mourned not only as ft minister of the church, but as a friend. The Interior of the handsome edifice pre sented In Itself an Impressive sight, hung as It was with simple draplngs of black and white while" the altars were decked with violet, the emblem of sorrow. The vest ments of the offlclnr.'ts st the mass were likewise violet In color. The services were begun with the recit ing of the offices of the dead by all of the assembled priests, nearly one hundred In number, after which the solemn high requiem mass was sung with the Bt. Rev. James Davis, bishop of the diocese of Davenport, aa celebrant. The absolution of the mans was pronounced by the Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, bishop of Omaha. Very Rev. Hugh Smith of Chicago wa3 archdeacon. Rev. Francis Ward of Iowa City, deacon of honor; Rev. Peter Brom menschenkcl of Westphalia, la., subdeacon Of honor; Very Rev. Thomas 'Rellly of Keokuk, deacon of the mass, and Rev. Edmund Hayes of Imogene, subdeacon of the mass. The master of ceremonies was Rev. J M. Walsh of Washington, la., who until recently was connocted with 8t. Francis Xavler's church. He was assisted by Rev, J. F. O'Neill, Rev. James P. Daneley and Rev. James A. O'Neill, all of whom were formerly under the pastoral care and In struction of the late Father Smyth. The music of the mass was beautifully and Impressively rendered by the full choir of the church under the leadership of J. R. Qcrke and with Miss Tholl as organist. The mass was celebrated at the high altar, while throughout the service the bier, sur rounded by six funeral tapers, rested In the central aisle. "He that belleveth In me, though he be dead, yet shall live," was the text taken by the Rt. Rev. P. J. Garrlgan, bishop of Sioux; City, who preached the sermon. While declaring It was unnecessary to eulogise a; length, Bishop Garrlgan paid a beautiful tribute to the high charactev of the deceased priest. The sermon was an eliquent presentation of the nobility of the priesthood, with particular appli cation to him whom the vast congregation had assembled to honor. "It Is linn cescary," said Bishop Garrlgan In opening, "to refer to the personal virtues or to eulogise the personal character of Father Smyth as a pastor. It Is unneces sary before this congregation, which forms so eloquctit a testimony to his nobility of character, to tpeak of hla self-sacrifices, his devotedness and his fatherly care of you and your children." Referring to the general belief caused by the isolation of the priest from the great body of the people, that the membera of the priesthood took no Interest In politics, In government or In the material prosperity of the state or community, Bishop Garrl gan said: "Society Is built on religion. Take away from society the teachings of Jesus Christ, the precepts of the decalogue, the Sermon on the Mount, and what has society to stsnd on? It Is for these things that the prlett stands. "We aro Intensely Interested In the wel fare of the people. In the prosperity of the places where we live. In education and In public morality. The priest Is consecrated to the welfare of humanity. The character of the priest whose body lies before us was the character of a public spirited cttltcn. He loved his fellow citizens, he loved the Institutions of this land, however dear to hlin might have been the green hills of tile country from which he came. This Cnres "Woman's Wcckuesscs.

At the close of the service nearly ion members of the Knights of Columbus, who attended the services In a body, formed two lines at the entrance to the church and between these the casket was carried to the hearse. The Knights of Columbus also formed a guard of honor as the cortege proceeded to St. Joseph's cemetery, where burial took place. The pallbearers were Captain J. J. Brown, P. M.

Councilman Jensen, who has been work ing on the plans and opacifications for the l ew central fire station at the foot of Bry ant street, expects to have them completed snd re ltf y to submit at the meeting of the city council next Monday evening. Including the cost of the concrete retain ing walls In Indian creek the entire cost will be In the neighborhood of $23,000. Of this amount $15,000 will be for the fire sta tion, and the cost of the concrete walls or foundation will be about $8,000, according to City Engineer Etnyre's estimate. City Engineer Etnyre has decided to use Wooden piling for the concrete walls. He decided that Inasmuch aa the plies would be In moist earth and partly In water, they would be as lasting as the concrete piling, and could be set at less expense.' The re taining walls will reach from the east side of the Bryant atreet bridge to a point ten feet west of the present engine house. This will provide a driveway and entrance on the west slue of the building. The bridge will be rebuilt upon the new foundation and an entrance to the building will open near the center of the bridge.

KNOCKS OUT THE NEW CITY HALL Rock Island shops at Valley Jnnrtloa Open Vp on Fall Time and With Larger Force Than Ever Employed. (From a Staff Conespondt nt.) DE8 MOINES, July 8. (Special.) Women can vote on all questions of Issuing bonds or Increasing the tax levy for ereclal Im provements In municipal affairs In Iowa. The supreme court says so today In a de rision which stops permanently the erec tion of a new city hall In ths city till the women are allowed to vote on the matter. The decision of the court Is a victory for the FoMtlcal Equality club of this city and the new city hall, which was to have been erected this year, must be again submitted to the people. The decision of the court Is of quite far reaching importance. When It was decided to submit to the people the question of the ersctlon of a new city hall the women learned that the city officials Intended not to let them vote. They appealed to the officials and the officials were obdurate. The law provides that on questions of Issuing bonds the women can vote. The city officials sought to get around this by wording the question on the ballot to say tothln of bonds. It was worded: "Shall the city of Des Moines erect a city hall at a coat not exceeding $150,000?" In a sep arate question It submitted, should the tax levy be Increased by a certain amount. On this the court says: "It Is Imma terial whether the question epeclfys the precise amount df bonds to be Issued or tax levied or authorises tho construction of an Improvement Involving the raising of money In one or both of these methods with which to pay the cost. The consequence of the election Is the same in either event." And further: "In either event the question of the issuance of bonds or Increase of taxa tion Is directly Involved and on that the voice cf the women can no longer be silenced In this state save by the repeal of this statute." One of the chief arguments of the city was that the constitution prohibits women from voting and limits it to men. The court holds that the limitations of the con stitution apply to elections provided for by the constitution Itself and that It therefore applies to the election of persons to public office and thnt It does not apply to elec tions provided for by the legislature and that the legislature therefore has authority to direct that women can vote on bond matters, and that a vote on Issuing bonds la not an "election" aa the term la used In the constitution. The Iowa law provides that the women shall vote on separate ballots and the ballots shall be deposited In separate boxes. The supreme court says on this: "That the arbitrary classification oi voters will not be tolerated may be conceded and It Is doubtful whether any substantial dis crimination between electors with full power of suffrage may be upheld." School Consolidation I.esjal. The supreme court today affirmed the decision of the Polk county district court In refusing to grant an Injunction against the new officials of the consolidated school district of Des Moines. The territory In side the city limits of Des Moines consisted of several districts. Tho thirty-second gen eral assembly enacted a law providing fur consolidation on the favorable vote of the people The vote was favorable and the courts were then resorted to to prevent tho consolidation. Shopmen All Back to Work. All the employes of the Rock Island shops at Valley Junction nave been put back to work. Thla Includes 200 men who have been Idle since the shut down In June. AH who had not been returned previously were put back Monday and some additional men with them, ao that the shops are now run ning with even a larger force of men than at the time of the shut down In June. Woman Held for Bnrsrlary. Miss Mary Ann Watts, aged 40, and owner of a 130-acre farm near Norwoodvllle, and her hired man, Marlon Comegys, a boy of 16, are held for the theft of 750 from a coal miner, Charles Richards. Richards drew the money from a bank. Intending to purchase a farm,' and hid It between the matreases on his bed. Comegys was first arrested, and he Implicated Mlus Watts. The money has not yet been located. OFFERS OF BUILDING SITES Treasary Department Receives Bids from Sooth Dakota Cities. (From a Graff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. July 8.

NEW YORK. July g. (Special Telegram ) The Journal of Commerce will tomorrow publish Its special crop report, which In tptte of excessive rains and a backward reason In June will show the outlook for the wheat and corn Is still satisfactory and better than a year ago- According to the 1,600 special reports gathered from the pivotal states, the average date being June fO, the condition of winter whett was 81, or 8.7 points higher than laat year; spring wheat 93, or 9.8 points better than last year, and corn 81.3, or 1.6 points better than a year ago. It Is, of course, too early to form re liable estimates of tho forthcoming crops. especially as the summer months are often jerlods of deterioration, but If the usual method of calculation be employed, that of the old formula adopted by the produce ex change, the Indicated yield would be ap proximately thus: Indicated 190. Actual 1907. Winter wheat, bu.. 421.0O0.OO0 , 4O3.9ns.0O0 Siring wheat, bu.. 2.3,000.000 230.179.000 Total wheat, bu.. 7i,000,000 634,07.(riO Corn, bu 2.64Ji,0O0,000 2,592,000,000 As the harvest for winter wheat will shortly end we are practically sure of aa large if not larger yield than last year. The unusually fine condition of spring wheat will, however, be the main depend ence for a full wheat crop, and the present outlook of over 700.000,000 bushels gives promise of the third largest crop on record. The torn crop Is still backward, though les S3 than at this time last year. As planting was unfinished at the date of these reports, the acreage figures of 93.2 per cent of last year must be accepted ac cordingly. The estimate of yield given above la bated upon last year's acreage, which ts qutto likely to be equalled If not sur,astd this year. Corn Is far from promising a bumper crop, but a good av erage yield U expected, and as prices are high the grower will not be dissatisfied. All Indications point to a profitable season for the farmers. Much will depend upon tho growth of the nrxt two months and then the chances of early frost. MRS.

JETTER BREWING C Soutti AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Representatives of Three Eoads Con- . fer Over N Street Viaduct. GOOD PROSPECT OF AGREEMENT Short Supply of Both Cattle and Hogs Causes Packers to Bid I'p tbe Price Condition of the Cltr Funds. Mayor Frank Koutsky has succeeded in getting the management of three railroads together in conference over the construc tion of a viaduct over the Union Taclflc, Rock Island and Milwaukee roads at U street. The representatives of all three roads were In conference yesterday after noon at the council chamber. The pros pects are now exceedingly favorable for a new viaduct, provided all parties can agree on the direction. This viaduct, with lta approacles, would be over 1,100 feet long to the proposition Is by no means a small affair. Mayor Koutsky succeeded In doing what the previous administration never was able to do, get all the railroad men to gether where they could talk business. The Union Pacific waa represented by A. L. Mohler and R. L. Huntley, the latter being the general engineer. The Rock Is land was represented by J. B. Berry and TV. P. McHugh. The Milwaukee was lep resente.l by TV. B.

Shlbley, attorney for Swift and Company, who are Interested In a plat of land across which one plan proposes to construct the viaduct, was present. Although several hours were spent In a thorough discussion of the plans, and although all the parties openly declared they were willing to share In the expense ot the viaduct, provided it were built In a manner and direction to conserve the Interests of all roads aa much as possible, no formal or written contract has been formulated. All the representatives of the roads have taken full data of the agreements and each will present the same to the proper authority for decision. A second meeting will be held July 20 In South Omaha, when each will be prepared to enter into the binding agreement If such may be reached. This was the cause of great rejoicing to the people on the south lde, who were present. The proposition Is to construct a viaduct due west from the intersection of the alley between TWenty-fourth and Twenty-llfth streets, with Railroad avenue south of U to a point opprste Twenty-sixth tr et. Then the viaduct will run dje south to Y street. This route crosses the plot owned by Shihley. It is understood that here. If anywhere, an ol Jecilon will be raised. Condition of City's Finances.
