EASING UP ON STREET RAILWAY .Imbalance Chasers Not as Stroaajly In Evidence an Conrt Records as Elsewhere. Not many dsmagn suits atainst the Omaha : Council Bluffs Street railway have been Initiated at recent terms of court, thouth the number of personal Injury cases of other kinds has not diminished. This Is illustrated in the days precedlng; the opening of the February term of court when petitions are filed In the clerk's of fice, but the street railway company does not appear as defendant. The reason for this is that the company nearly two years ago adopted the policy of settling all cases possible out of court. Not, of course, "hold-up" affairs, but those In which the plaintiff might get a, verdict It the matter went to a Jury. . While other damage suits continue In orthodox number, the practice of "ambu lance chasing" does not appear to grow In Omaha, and la assuredly not nearly so much of a crying evil as In many other communities, a fact which speaks well for the ethical practice of the Douglas county bar. It also testifies somewhat to the fact that temptations cannot be so great aa in cities larger and smaller. In the former there are numerous lawyers with nothing else to do than work up cases of tbr kind agalnat corporations, because there are so many lawyers for the amount of legitimate busineaa at. hand: In smaller towns the total bualness which the bar Is called upon to transact Is often pitifully small. Hence the fact that the neighborhood of a home where some Injured man Is resting often looks a fw hours after tha accident aa It a convention, ft attorneys was on.

WILL BE PROMPTLY ACCEPTED Basil Hihlatrom to Be JVamed by Mayor Dahlman aa RatvaVn'a Sae cessor In t'harce of the Manlrlpal HaUdla. At last It has happened; the Inevitable has occurred. Dave Rowden has resigned. And there Is joy In the camp of the Jlmo- crats. The bellicose and venerable custodian of the city hall, the "matchless" custodian as he Is known by the officials on account of his penurious qualities, the autocrat who has reigned as a csar ever since Mayor Jim became mayor, has filed with the president of the city council his reslg. nation to take effect February 1. The resignation will be acted upon tonight and at the aame time the council will be asked to confirm Dave's successor, Emll Wahl slrom, whose name the mayor will send to that body. E.very councilman wno nas oeen ap proached on the subject says he will gladly vote to accept tho resignation of tho custodian and consequently there unmitigated Joy In the city hall, for the officials and clerks have visions of clean towels, soap, matches, enough steam to J keep off goose pimples, and an occasion ally cleaned window. These articles and operations have arways cost too much, ac cording to Dave. ,Says Old Vets Mast Work. Rowden goes to Milford to become com mandant of the state soldiers' home, by appointment ot Governor Bhallenberger. He is a Grand Army man and because he Is physically able to do a day's work he contends that all old soldiers ought to work, snd to the officials In the city hall he has told of the great things hs in tenda to accomplish at Milford. "It's all foolishness, this hiring of men to do the work around the Soldiers' home, said Dave. "There are plenty of soldiers there to do the work, and I Intend to have 'em do It, and to fire all the people on the pay roll. Why, the old aoldiers can get up at 4 or. 6 o'clock In the morning and plant potatoes and weed In the garden while It is cool, and then I will let 'em rest dur ing the hot part of the day. It Isn't good for 'em to lie around all day and do noth ing but play cards and tell yarns. I'm going to maket 'em work and save money for the state." Dmll Wahlstrom, who will be Rowden's successor, has ben one of the Janitors In tha city building for some eight or nine years.

There will be but two department com mands vacant, the Department of the Gult and the Department of the Missouri. Gen erals Mills and Charles Morton both rank General Hodges and It Is possible that the two former generals will be given their choice of these departmenta. Major Gen eral Thomas II.

General Hodges will be assigned to some one of the brigade posts, possibly at Fort D. A. Rua sell, Wyo. Saturday until i p. in. ORS SHOW NOW ASSURED Stockholder Recommend that Sub scribers Make Up Deficit. BOARD OF DIRECTORS RE-ELECTED Artlie Raalnesa Mea fleace Their Material Saapart ta Sacreas of the tCtaoaltlaa far Tala tear. Stockholders of the National Corn exposi tion voted to Increase the capitalisation of the corporation from fcO.000 to 1100.000 at their annual meeting Tuesday noon and re-elected the old board of directors. It waa the sense of the stockholders that an assessment should be levied against them sufficient to make up the tlO.OOt treasury deficit, which Is not really a deficit, but simply an additional assessment to those already being made. The actual condition of the finances of he exposition look like this: The corpora tlon haa a capital stock of toO.OOO and I40.O10 was subsorlbed to bo paid In on demand This amount of 140.000 might have been called and waa subject to call, being sub scribed with the understanding that the enterprise might require every dollar the first year. But so economically was the promotion work managed that only 40 per cent of tho amount subscribed was called. This brought tha exposition up to the open ing day. The show waa a success. The gate receipts were $25,000, the Income from other sources $30,000 and the total expendi tures $80,000. Thus the treasury needs $10,000 to bring It to a balance, or SJ.S per cent of the amount subscribed. Conaldered on this basis the exposition made or saved $16,000, aa those who subscribed money for launch ing the enterprise paid but five-eighths of the amount they subscribed. The old board of directors was re-elected, the following business men composing the board : O. W. Wattles, T. F. EMirgese, C. C. Rosewater, E. Buckingham. Bruce McCulloch, Home Miller, K. J. McVann. Kred Paffenrath, II. K. Baum. Charles Beston, W. F. Baxter. H. W. Binder H. H. Van Brunt, C. F. McGrew, Victor Bender, F. U Hailer. Emll Brandels, D. B. Fuller. C. M. Wllhelm, A. J. Beaton, C. C.

Committee and Officers. From these directors an executive com mltte and officers will be selected at a meeting to be held early, as work will begin at once on the National Corn expo sition of VXJ9. President O. W. Wattles opened the meet ing by speaking of the success of the last corn show and called on T. F. Bturgess to read the report of the finances. It was shown by this report that while $40,000 was subscribed to the M,000 capital stock but $15,000 waa assessed. The admissions and revenues of the exposition paid all but $10,000 on a total expenditure of $80,000. The cost of tho Auditorium and -temporary buildings, with lighting and decorating waa 3,000, the largest Item on the entire list. Other Items were small in comparison. Only $2,000 was spent for publicity, while the model kitchen, one of tho biggest attrac tions at the ahow, cojt but a little more than $1,000. Exhibits cost the exposition heavily. The receipts at tho gate were $26,000 and almost $10,000 was obtained from concessions. C. C. Rosewater, chairman of the execu tlve committee, spoke of the necessities of putting the exposition or rather keeping It on a sound bualness baals and favored stock subscriptions to donations. He said the $2S.0C0 which Omaha paid for the ex position of 1908 would not buy the advertls ing which it made for the city If any city started out to buy the high-class of adver tising which the city received. Mr. Rose water also read letters from prominent men In all partsof the country who were asked to make criticisms on the show and their replies rang only with praise. Those who spoke in favor of getting their shoulders to the wheel for another year or all the years that Omaha can keep the exposition were G. W. Wattles, C. C. Bel den, A. Hospe. W. F. Baxter and others. BIG FUND FOR UNIVERSITY Half Million Is the Initial A nt Which Promoters Will Strive For. Resolutions were sdopted last night at a meeting of those Interested In the proposed University of Omaha, declaring In favor of raising $300,000, $2GO.0OO to be used for build ings and" grounds and $300,000 for endow ment. Dr. H. H. Maynard, financial sec retary, explained the whole proposition fully, and this resolution cemsas a result of his explanation and a general discussion in which all those present entered. About twenty-five people, mostly residents of Kountse Place, attended the meeting. Dr. Maynard expects to leave In a few days for the east In the hope of raising $300,000 there, the other $300,000 to be raised In Omaha. He waa careful to state that thla first $500,000 will be but a starter, and that before many years have elapsed It Is hoped that from $6,000,000 to $$.000,000 will be Invested In the university property snd en dowment. The doctor will first go to John D. Rockefeller's education committee, a representative of which visited Bellevue a year ago and tha same as told friends of the Omaha university that hia committee would glvs money to an Omaha institution. Tha first payment, $(.000, haa been mads on the tract of land decided upon by the university trustees for the location of the new educational lnatttutton. This tract comprises ths Kountse snd Redlck estate holdings from Twenty-first street to Twenty-fifth street, lying between Plnkney snd Pratt atreets. CHARGES AGAINST FIREMEN Cases of Dlaclallao Oocaay Most of Time of tha Com mlaslonera. The greater part of ths time of ths meet ing of the Board of Fire and Police com missioners held last night was taken up with cases of discipline of members of the fire department. Charges of fighting against Captain Bcott Irving of engine house No. 11 and Charles Smith, a member of ths same company, were heard at some Ungth. Irving was fined $1$ and Smith $39. Liquor licenses were granted to Otto Kahler, Sl'4 North Sixteenth street, and Joseph Bemross. KH Sherman avenue. Tt. cnlef cf the fire department was ordered to prefer -charges sgalnat J. R.

Clay Clement Roirers. a page boy Mr. Hpnrv Dornton Manson, a butler Mr. CrestoaClarke Mr. Charlea Rann Kennedy has not said the last word on the topic, nor has ho by any means said much that has not been dinged Into our ears for sges. It Is our own fault that we haven't heeded the les son, not the fault of the preachers. The trouble Is, we are still a somewhat stiff necked and stubborn generation, and fre quently refuse to do what is obviously for our own good, because It happens to be a bit unpleasant In the contemplation. But that doesn't alter the wholesomeness of his sermon, or relieve us In any way from the asslrabtllty of Immediately applying It. "The Servant in the House," as hss been explained In detail, present the proposition that ths world' would be a nic nlacn tn Ilea people would only live rightly. Unhap pily, people won't, and so the clogging Of the drains that has resultod produces an untold deal of gas that Is very unhealthy to breathe, but we go on breathing It be cause aa yet no drainman of auftlcient courage and address has appeared to tackle the Job of clearing away the dreadful ac cumulation of muck that swelters In the crypt and poisons the atmosphere above. Mr. Kennedy unmercifully pillories the world-wise and exalts the simple, as Is proper enough In sermons, and affords not a little genuine satisfaction to those of us who are sufficiently pharasalcal to apply tne lesson to our neighbors. Hia plsy Is a mixture of allegory and expoaitlon. and Is powerfully dramatic In Its direct simplicity Its one weakness lies In Its forced element of mysticism; how much more potent Man son s message would be If It were delivered by a man, moving among men. rather than by the strenuously Insistent presence of suggested Deity! What a pity Mr. Ken nedy could not have abandoned the merely ineatric and preserved the dramatic unitv of his otherwise masterful preachment! It may by the present means reach some minds It would not otherwise have awak ened, but It lacks in virile force, none the less. At a time when the church Itself Is striving to relieve religion of Its rlnaklnv of mysticism and seeking to approach man- aina on a broad basis of reason. It seems the dramatists might easily afford to make their appeal more directly to the intellect and less to the emotion. as the "gentleman of necessarv occupa tion," Clay Clement towers a commanding figure over the action of the play. His redemption Is the net result of applied reason, and his eloquence as he tells of his task In the last act Is such as makea one forget that he Is speaking of muck snd offal and charnel pits, and leaves only the realisation that he Is talking of the accom plishment of a deed that is needed for the good of man-a heroic undertaking aa noble as ever led k.iight to battle or advocate to court. Mr. Clement has lnna- han lookeil upon In this neck of the woods as an actor of parts, and his friends are not disap pointed by h's work as the drain man. Mr. Creston Clarke rs impressive as the low-voiced, sweet-faced Manson. and fully realises the author's very manifest purpose. He has prepared his person so aa to very nearly resemble plcturesof the Christ, and his gestures are those ascribed to the Master by the men who have put on can vass their Ideas' of nja personality. In this regard Mr. Clarke's work is perfect. But H does not remove the regret that the author chose this medium for the expres slon of his own great thought. Mr. George Wilson Is presenting a most excellent conception of the worldly-minded bishop of Lancashire, ' who Is following Mammon more assiduously than one in his position Is expected to. His picture of the doddering old prelate, whose falling sight and hearing and passing strength only accentuate the extraordinary activity of his keen Intellect, snd make even more gro tesque his greed for wealth, Is one of the finest things of the kind seen here since he gave us the wonderful Impressive pic ture of Louis XI in "If I Were King." The hope Is hereby expressed that Mr. Wilson will be apared to afford us the pleasure of his excellent art for many years to come. Omaha friends of Mr. Wilfred Roger, who was leading man at the Burwood last sea son, will be pleased to know that he is showing his worth as an actor most effec lively In the role of the vicar. It is one of the most difficult parts In the play, call ing for the widest range cf emotional ex pression, and Mr. Roger attacks It Intelli gently and acquits himself with great credit. Miss Wynne Is a charming girl, and ap parently Is only presenting her natural self in ths role she has. , Comparlaons are seldom Indulged in here, yet the Impulse to contrast the meeting of the Muslo Master snd his daughter and that of the Drain Man and his dsughter cannot be reaiated. Warfleld may have compelled tiers, but hn did not arouse the deep and genuine feeling that was stirred by the playing of Mr. Clement and Miss Wynne last night. "This was so genuine and so utterly devoid of the theatric that It com pelled one of the moat spontaneous and enthusiastic recalls ever given in a theater.

The feast of reason was thoroughly appreciated, and was most appropriately applauded. It ia In no wise vital to the continued success uf the drama, perhaps, yet Mr. Miller may have whatever comfort comes from the aasursnce that hia players in Mr. Kennedy's play are warmly approved by Omaha people who have so far seen them; and, what is more to the point, perhaps, the advance sale Indicates that many more will see the play snd the plcyers during the rest of the week.
