Trederlrk Offerman and Hush Murphy
wow deftatPd Saturday morning In the
flrt round of the South Omaha contract
ors' war in district court. Jude Redlck
handed down a decision which denied the
temporary Injunction prayed for aaalnst
the city of South Omsha and the National
Construction company. .
Offern-.an, who Is a property owner on i,
street, sought to have, enjoined the pavln
of that street, trie contract for which was
let to the National company , at the- tin
when Murphy had a a t'.d In $397 less.
Judge RedlcK based his declelon on the fact
that the law provides.. the contract shall,
go to the lowest responsible bidder, that
a comlttee of the council voted that the
Purlng-ton brick Which 'the Nsttonsl "com
pany proposed to ..furnish badrbeen Used
satisfactorily In several streets and that
the Cofteyvllle-brick had i never been " so
used. This established, said the Judge tn
effect, the legsllty of tTle letting f , ,uie
contract to' a higher bidder than Murphy.1
Although by the "rattler test" the Coffey
vllle brick showed better slightly 'than' the.
Purlngton,. yet' both came within the prr
scribed limit of efficiency and. durability. ',
Murphy, through his counsel, W. J. Coa
nell. announced that the flgkt will be car
ried to a finish. The National Construction
company csn now proceed ; to pave the
street, the restraining order having beon
vacated by Judge Redlck, but suit will be
Instituted to stop psyment for tho work.
The tight between Murphy and the Na
tional company, which. Includes severst for
mer city officials, is a bitter one snd the
resources of .the law will tie exhausted be
fore it Is ended.
Two Mothers
Plead for Sons to
Help Them Work
One Has Eight, Other Ten Children
and Eldest of 14 Needed in
Both Cases.
Mrs. Mary Murphy, mother of eight
small children, appeared tn Juvenile court
Baturday to plead .for her M-year-old boy,
Harry, who had been reported as a truant
"It was me that kept Harry out of
school," plesded the mother, a sweef faced
woman, pale and emaciated arid "poorly
clad. "I needed the boy at home to help
me at the work. Tes, my husband works)
he gets SK a month, but Its little of It he
gives ma or the children. The rest of the
children try to pick up little Jobs to help
us out. But they csnt do much. They've
all got to be fed. And If I can keep Harry
at home to help I can pick up a little work
at washing. Harry is a dear, good boy;
he never spoke an unkind word to me and
tries his best to help me. I would like for
him to go to school and be would like to
go. But you hee how It Is, Judge."
'Tes, I see how it Is," ssid Judge JDs-
telle. "Tou snd Harry are not the ones
wanted In this court. Go home. We will
have Mr. Murphy to deal with next Satur
day morning. He rs the one that needs
the discipline." '
Another women, a widow from the flats
down below the Union depot was asked
why she did not send her lt-year-old boy
to school.
I hsve ten children, your honor, snd I
need this boy to help me rsise the money
to feed the rent," said she. "Plesss let me
keep him out of school a little while longer,
I need him so bad."
The court was of the opinion that the boy
should go to school until June, when he
would be 14. Judge Retells advised the
mother of the ten children to have one or
two of the older children help out In the
work and give the boy a chance to get a
little schooling.

I.evl Carter park, the latest addition to
the park system of Omaha, will not absorb
the attention of the Board of Park Com
missioners this season to the exclusion of
atl other parks, for the board has decided
to devote considerable time to Elmwood, in
the southwestern part of the city. Elm
wood Is one of tie largest parks tn Omaha,
but not as mucn attention has been paid it
in the last few years as some others.
A few weeks ago the board. In conjunc
tion with the oouncil and interested1 prop
erty holders, secured from the street rail
way company Its promise to extend Its
Leavenworth street line to the park, and
at the last meeting of the board a commit
tee was appointed to decide upon the route
for a boulevard to connect It with Hans-
eom psrk. Friday the board held another
meeting and decided to ask for plans for
a pavilion in the psrk.
The superintendent of parks was instruct
ed to co-operate with East Omaha prop
erty owners looking toward the building
of a dike st the northeast corner of Sallna
Sea, in Levi Carter park, to prevent over
flow from tha Missouri river.
Nolan & Dugan were given the contract
for grading the South Central boulevard
from Bancroft street to the entrance of
Riverview park, and the board also con
tracted for macadamising Florence boule
vard north from Spencer street.

should not control the council snd that he
should be satisfied with the natural duties
of his office. He believes in sn elerAlve
excise board for the reason thst It the
board, was appointed it would 'reurescnt
the appointive power, and that in that
event it would be better to abolish the
board altogether.
Included In It is this drfl to Msyor Jim:

I do not believe a political machine should
be built up in the msyor's office to control

Seasonable Remarks on Over
eoats, hlrta, Collars and
Sasavndera.
Time was, snd not so very long ago
either, when the swester, as such, was
more or less a garment of opprobrium, at
least as far as those occasions were con
cerned on which the man-about-town
wished to appear at all well dressed. It
was distinctly a utilitarian affair, for
warmth only, designed to be worn In the
open, when Indulging In some one or other
of the athletic sports. Even when called
rnto use on a summer's dsy. It. wss donned
but rarely, except on the golf links, the
athletlo field, the beach or some similar

cold" was' the principal thought In the
mind of the wearer. I'ntll very recently
the swester (than which there was never
anything Invented that wss more 'grateful.'"
to use a British expression), could never
have been conaldred a "dressy" garment.
even by tho widest stretch of the Imagina
tion. In Its original form, with Its high,
close-fitting, bulky collar. It was frankly
s sweater and nothing more, and was quite
as ugly ss Its nsme. f
It was not very long, however, before a
decided evolution, not to say revolution, In
sweaters began to take place and the close
fitting neck gave way to a kind of sailor
collar, the garment itself being fashioned
with a V-neck, which laced up In front. It
was, however, a sweater for all that and,
In spite of the fact that models of this
kind oould be worn under the coat and yet
not Interfere with the display of the collar
and necktie, they proved a short-lived faah
lon. The sailor collar effect was bulky
and Inconvenient and was soon dispensed
with, giving plsce to the fsmlllar V-neck
sweater that has been popular for so msny
seasons.
Change for the Better.
Indeed, the V-neck sweaters were by ths
way of being the turning point In the fash
ionable adventures of this now slmost uni
versal garment. For the first time In the
history of Its manufacture the sweater
coat had become a thoroughly nest snd
practical article of dress, ono which could
be worn'' either In place of or over the
waistcoat (when additional warmth was
required) and under the cost. I'nless the
latter was unbuttoned, the casual observer
was none the wiser. From this time the
very general use of the swester "In polite
society" moy be ssid to hsve had Its begin
ning. Admirably adapted fch outdoor oc
casions, whether urbsn or suburban, par
ticulsrly on those dsys In which there waa
frost In the air, but on which the younger
element In society was loath to put on an
overcoat, the V-neck sweater was manufac
tured In nest shades cf dark grsy, some
times black trimmed snd also In white,
as well ss In the usual swester colors, all
of which Were very popular, but especially
the grays.
The necessity of slipping these swesters
over the head, combined with the fact that,
having no opening in front, they proved
uncomfortably warm If one was dntslned
indoors on sny occaslru. mitigated against
thlr .ir,ivori oontilBrltv. however, and
tha modern coat swester wss quickly
evolved. Originally this was little more
than a Y-neck sweater, opening In front
and dealgnod to be buttoned up when, worn
1n the open. It was a variation of the old
cardigan Jacket of blessed memory and
came In all the usual swester shades. In
cluding brown, which, by the wsy, Is espe
cially favored at the present time. Tncse
swester coats, some of which sre now msde
without sleevrj, in perfect walstoost form,
ore possessed by almost every one these
days and sre worn on all day occasions.
Boms of the wslstcoats sre particularly
elaborate In design, white with color de
signs and the like.
The newest expression of swester coats
are made of the finest Angora wool and
are manufactured In Austria by a secret
.process which up the present time has
proved an unsolvable problem to an con
cerns not "in the know."
They are msde both with snd without
collars. Some of ths waist-coats haye the
silk aleeves with which tha golf enthusiasts
havs made us familiar. They come In both
gray and brown effects, soms plain and
others contrast trimmed. The newest model
Is double breasted, hss a "standing" collar
and la embellished with eighteen buttons,
no less.

The January shirt sales have offered
some wonderful possibilities. It Is always
possible st this time of year to replenish

WORTHY WORK QUICKLY DONE
Enerar of the Navy Department In
Handling; Three Thousand
Honaes for Messina.
Among the most Important work rendered
as a result of the funds appropriated or
raised In behalf or the Italian earthquake
sufferers was the acquisition under tin
Navy department or 3,000 frame house,
which had been shipped from New York
to the devastated region. This work wa
accomplished under the bureau of suppll.
and accounts of the Navy department an. I
the details were extruded to Pay Inspector
J. A. Mudd, U. 8. 'N.. in charge of the
navy pay office In New York. The auni
of ItiOO.000 waa expended tn this direction,
600.000 being from the telief fund and 1100,
000 being thst allotted by the Red Cross
association. It wss made known to ths
president by the Itallnn ambassador thst
these temporary houses would be.- a most
useful form of relief and steps were st
once tsken to obtain estlmstes for the
lumber which would be needed. .This ma
terial amounted to 16.000.0n0 feet, furnishing
material for about S.000 houses. Within
forty-eight hours It was possible to awsnl
the contracts, the plans and estimates hav
ing ben obtained In New York. The projei I
also required the chartering of the vessel
to carry the material to the Italian port,
and everything waa done with the utmost
expedition, which. waa more to the satis
faction and credit of the naval authorities
because it repreaented the operation of
existing machinery. It was. indeed, a dem
onstration of whst ran be done In an un
usual wsy In a grave emergency with the
least possible time for the acquisition of a
large amount of varied material. The con
tracts Included not only the lumber, but a
great variety of hardware which was necev
