Consider Union with Other Org-aniiation. OLD BTOOTntfl ARE AGAINST IT Frntlnt pweruuee, la Ilia Ainal A dreae. Takes Has) at the "rial" Hetel far the Delesratre. Before the Nebraska State Funeral Di rectors' association adjourn It may annex, under certain conditions, the Nebraska Re tall Furniture Dealer" association, which, by Itself, promises to become a healthy or ganisation. President W. H. Dorrance has named a committee, consisting of three exclusive undertakers and three who are undertak ers and furniture dealers Vhlch will re port on the proposition of annexing the proposed furniture dealers' association bv Jiving the furniture dealers at least half day on the program each year, and the election of a Joint secretary, who will keep the funds of the organisation separate. Pome of the old undertakers who organ ised the State Funeral Directors' associa tion twenty-four years ago. fought the proposition when It was presented at the morning session Wednesday, refused to think of a change In name and wanted the furniture dealers. If taking a half day on the program at all, to take the last one of the session. The furniture dealers wanted the selection of a time on the program left In the hands of an executive committee, but finally the whole question of con solidation or annexation went to a special committee, Most Are Furniture Dealers. Seventy-five per cent of the membership of the Nebraska State Funeral Directors' association are men who are In the furni ture business as well as undertakers. In the discussion more than one indicated that while they believed In the work of , the funeral directors' association. If It came to a choice between the two organisations and attending one of two meetings, they felt their Interests would be best subserved by going with the furniture dealers on questions that are now confronting the re tall furniture dealers which are assuming big proportions and to neglect united effort would be to see profits cut down. President W. H. Dorrance made an ad drees which contained so many good rec ommendations that It was referred to a committee consisting of R. O.- Castle, Oeorge Brewer and C A. Baker. This com mittee recommended that all the changes recommended by Mr.' Dorrance be acted on accordingly, though they mean some changes In the methods of the organisation. President Dorrance rapped the "official hotel" and said In the future he hoped the arrangements committee would rent an auditorium or hall where the meetings could be held and where manufacturers' agents could make displays without being "held up" by an "official hotel" where they felt compelled to stop. The president did not speak of any particular hotel, but said It waa always the same thing travel ing men "knocking" because they had to pay big prices for space to display goods. Pay ev Enterta lamest. Another recommendation waa that the secretary draw on the treasurer for a neat sum each year to pay for entertainment of the members. The funds of the associa tion are now sufficient to pay for exten sive entertainment and the president would like to see some of the undertakers shake off the long face they are supposed to wear and get out for a good time while attending the conventions. One of the first entertainments to accordance with the re commendation was when about JO under takers attended the Ies Molnes-Omaha base ball game Wednesday afternoon. Those undertakers who left the old or ganisation and "fell" for the "Burial a aociatlon" organised and dying soon after ward, are to be Invited to come tiack into the old reliable and given a hearty wel come. . Demonstrations with cadavers-, at the Crelghton Medical college occupied the Wednesday morning session. Prof. C. W'll liama of Kansaa City and Dr. A. D. Dunn, coroner's physician of Omaha, talked on practical questions. Dr. Dunn urged that it waa the duty of undertakers to assist in educating people to take a broad view 'of the necessity and desirability of performing an autopsy on almost all bodies, especially where the physician la not absolutely sure of the cause of death. "People have a right to know and should take steps to learn what Is causing the death of various members of the family. It serVee as a warning to other members, and If a disease is creeping Into a family an autopsy frequently reveals it when others may take the warning and avoid untimely death." - . JUDGE TELLS I0WAN TO GET GUARDIAN NEXT TIME AROUND Atlantic Man Palls for Watch Trick and Policeman Is Offered Fifty Cent Bribe. Although the complaining witness in a case of larceny from the person, J. John son of Atlantic, la., proved to be the butt of considerable fun when the case waa tried in police court Wednesday. The Judge not only advised him to bring a guardian along when he came to Omaha again, but also ordered that he be deprived of his watch, the article stolen from him and that 'the timepiece be held 1n Omaha aa evidence. Frank Robertson was charged with steal ing the watch from Johnson s pocket while they and a friend of the latter were In a house in the Third ward during Tuesday night's heavy rain.

Manavva Will Be Run by Real Seamen If Ton Don't Beliere It, Boa Your Eye Down Tbia Line of Deep Blue Talk.- "Ship ahey!", "Hornbuckla my bowsprit, but yon landlubbers are early this day, captain." "Aye. aye, sir," said the commodore. "Shiver my spanker if I see the need of such a rush." chipped in the rice admiral. "Rat my dead eyes, 'tis good for the ex chequer," quoth the admiral. "I strike my colors, that man's always thinking of money," put In the purser. "Keelhaul my taffrall, It'a money we're needing, me boy," Interposed the commo dore. "Douse my bilge, you fellows make me sick," stormed the admiral. "Blast my topgallant keelson, when are you lubbers gotng to stop talking arid go to work?" ventured the vice admiral. This Is a conversation between members of the crews that will man the ships on Lake Manawa this summer. They are all graduate seamen and these are they: William P. Byrne, admiral; R. A. Leua sler, commodore; Charles Kosters, captain; Carl Clary, purser; Otto Schnelderwlnd, vice admiral. It all came about In this way: The in ternal department of the United Statea government decided that as Manawa was a much frequented place It would have to be looked Into, so an agent of the de partment came from St. Louis to see what could be done. This repreaentstlve decided that as the water of Lake Manawa was not running water It was a high sea and the men would have to take an examination in sea manship. He gave the examination, and what some of these chaps did not know about the high seas would fill a volume. They passed their examination, however. Tax Assessments - Will Cause War County Assessor Will Report Increase Over Returns Hade by Large Corporations. When the County Board of Equalisation convenes June 16, some considerable dif ference will develop between estimates by County Assessor Shriver and a number of the larger corporations and business houses of the city. Some of these have made returns which seem preposterously small to the assessor, who will recommend a big increase by the board. ' Moat of these returns will not be divulged before the assessor makes his report to the board. It has been learned, however, that the Omaha Council Bluffs Street Railway company made a return of $5,649. 000. of which $2,000,000 is on a franchise. This is exclusive of the Missouri river bridge, returned at $150,000. An Increase will be recommended in this case. The Nebraska Traction and Power com pany has made return of $39,500 on Its three and one-half miles of street car track and rolling stock. The company's line extends from Ralston to the west city limits of South Omaha though it will soon cross the viaduct. This, company is on the tax list this year for the first time. DECLINES TO ISSUE ORDER FOR EARLY WATER TRIAL Judge T. C. Manner Prefers to Await n. Conference with His , , Colleagne. i The interminable water works case bobbed up again tn the United States cir cuit court Wednesday morning before Judge T. C. Munger. This time it was an effort on the part of .the Omaha Water .company to secure action on Ha petition to enforce the alleged confession of Judgment In the hydrant rental cases. C. C. Wright for the Water board has filed an affidavit denying that there waa any oral or any other kind of an' agree ment that the Water board would confess Judgment in the event of the cases pend ing In the circuit court of appeals should be decided against the city. R. 8. Hall, attorney for the water com pany, insisted that such an agreement had been made in the presence of Judge T. C. Munger In the former hearing of the case before him. Judge Munger said: "I do not remember the situation Just, as you put it, Mr. Hall. There was some talk of Mr. Wright agree ing to eertain points should the circuit court of appeals decide against the city. Stipulations of this character should always be made In writing" Mr. Hall asked that the court would Issue an order for an early trial in the case, but the court declined to make such an order until after a conference with Judge W. H. Munger. MRS. GRACE BRADLEY AT REST Wamaa Who Dies While Asleep Is Bnrled nt Forest Laws Cemetery. The funeral of Mrs. Grace I.

Two cars full of delegates from Omaha and Nebraska towns will go to the annual meeting of the National Association of Real Estate Dealers at Detroit June 23, 24 and 25. Many of the dealers promised to go as their names were read at the meet ing of the exchange Wednesday noon at the Commercial club. " "The question of ' inland waterways Is national In its scope,', for It will benefit all alike to have these canais grldlronlng the country," said Coloael . Baker, member of the Board of Supervisors of Council Bluffs, In addressing the Real Estate exchange Wednesday. "If the United States would keep pace with other nations of the world these canals must be built to provide cheap transportation. Therein other countries ezoel us and can underbid us In the open markets. "China has recently 'completed a deep waterway, 1,200 miles inland, to Iron and steel works, and that country Is now send ing pig Iron to the United States and is able to beat our prices because of this cheap transportation. "Russia has canals extending 3,000 miles into the grain 'fields of Siberia, and we are compelled to meet this cheap transporta tion competition as well as cheaper labor. We cannot cheapen oufylabor, so we must cheapen our transportation. "Argentina has improved one of Its rivers L000 miles Inland to a depth' of twenty-one feet, to admit of seagoing vessels. Bel glum, one-seventh the slse of- Nebraska, has 1.400 miles of waterways. Holland, one-sixth the slse of Nebraska, has 1,000 miles of canals which cost 33.000.000.000. "Germany, not as large as Texas, has 10,000 miles of canals, reaching every city of any importance, and all manufacturing centers. France has 3,000 miles of canals and a deep canal Is now being built to allow ocean steamers to reach Parts. "Railroads run on both banks of the Danube and they work in harmony with water transportation. Canada has the lead on the United Statea with the Welland canal and now la building a second canal twenty-one feet deen beside the Weltand canal. "A year ago Harriman made the asser tion that the products ready for transpor tation in this country Increased 100 per cent every seven years, while the facil ities for handling this increase was but 30 per cent.

THE ONLY " BREAKFAST CEREAL" MADE IN BISCUIT FORM Special Rates to Ak-Sar-Ben and Corn Exposition Reduced Fares Will Be Made for Both ' Big Meetings in Omaha This Fall. Ak-Sar-Ben and the National Corn ex position probably will secure reduced rates this fall. The railroads already have Je clded to grant reduced rates for state fairs and now the directors of these large Insti tutions are at work to secure them to the two largest gatherings in the west. The Rock Island has announced rates of one and one-half fares to the Iowa and Nebraska State fairs and because of these concessions the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben and , the directors of the Corn show hope to secure the same rates this fall. The date of the Iowa State fatr Is August 26 to September 3 and the date of the Nebraska State fair Is September t to September 10. A year ago the railroads made an agree ment not to give any more reduced rates in the west. Some roads first broke the agreement in regard to state fairs and then all finally gave rates to the fall attractions in Omaha. When some time ago the roads announced that they would poatpone the withholding of reduced rates for a year and would grant ratea to state fairs the Omaha Inter ests busied themselves and say they will be satisfied with nothing less than the rates other large attractions secure.
