NEW f IRE AND POLICE ALARM
Improved System for City About
Eeady to Be Submitted.
TEN THOUSAND A YEAR LEASE
At the Hnd of Fire Years rity Mi
Bay the rinnt at One. Half the
Coat of Its Installation.
Probably at the nrxt meeting; of the
Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioner a
new contract will be submitted by the
Nebraska Telephone company for the In
stallation cf a complete new fire and do-
lice alarm system.
The main points have been practically
agreed on and only the details are to be
worked out in the contract. The city is to
pay 10,000 a year for five years, which
price Include! 10 per cent of the total cost
price. At the end of the five-year term
the city will have the right to buy at one
half the cost of Installation. It Is orac-
tlcally a case of the city buying Its new
system on the Installment plan.
Chief of Police Donahue, Chief Salter,
City Electrician Mlchaelsen and the com
missioners have long desired to replace the
old, worn out equipment now In use, and
Insurance men hare agreed that were It
not for the good care' given the present
outfit by the telephone company, it would
have fallen to pieces several years ago.
It Is out of date and unfitted for Its pur
pose in a city covering the territory that
Omaha does.
unaer me new plan worked out bv the
city electrician and the telephone com
pany officials a greatly Improved service
is assured. Each police patrol box, for
Instance, wiU have Its own telephone In
strument, and an alarm gong In the box
can be set off so that It will attract the
attention of a policeman a block away.
As soon as the contract can be submitted
and is approved by the oity electrician and
the fire and police board Instillation la to
begin. This work will require considerable
time, but the telephone company has prom
ised that It will make an extra effort to
have It completed sixty days after work
is begun.
A special meeting of the fire and police
boaTd is called for this evening at 7
o'clock to settle up with the Insuranoe
company which carried the Jt.OOO policy on
the burned auto' patrol wagon. The com
pany will pay for a total loss. It Is under
stood, and the board and Chief Donahue
hope to have a new machine available for
use within a very few days.

IT CAN NEVER, HAPPEN AOAIN. By
William DeMorgan. 6ST pp.; 11.76; Henry
Holt A Co.
A strange story. In which Mr. DeMor
gan's humor, humanity and optimism
attain dominate, though pathos and dra
matlc, even tragic eplteodes are not want
ing. Three distinct rtorles thread their
way through It, nd at the end all are
unraveled with unerring skill. One of the
rnaln themes Is the love of Blind Jim for
his little daughter, Lizarann, and an ac
count of how he rendered brave service
despite his blindness. Another . tells of
the doings of a successful novelist, his
nice, commonplace : wife, and a third per
son, Judith Arkroyd, with stage am
bitlone, perhaps the most, fascinating
woman Mr. DeMorgan has yet drawn.
WHEN A MAN MARRIES, by Mary
Roberts Rlnehart. Kt pp.; 11.50; Bobbs-
Merrlll company.
The stoty Involves a dinner party of
young society folks quarantined by the
illness of a Jap butler, a charming girl
masquerading against her will as hostess,
a fat artist In love with his own wife,
the wife imprisoned In her own furnace
room, a rich aunt with an all too candid
tongue, a policeman acting as chief cook
and bottle washer, the mysterious presence
of an unknown thief, who takes necklaces,
but prefers Ijed clothing, and many other
lemuslng incidents. The book is illus
trated by Harrison Fisher and Mayo Bun
ker and many of the Illustrations are In
color.
SAN CELESTINO. by John Ayscough.
846 pp.; tl 50; O. P. Putnam's Sons.
This Is story of a- sublime failure. It
recounts how Petrucclo became a hermit
and how disciples gathered around him,
beginning with two worldly young men
who had known him at Salermo. The
Order of the Celestlnes, thus founded, grew
In number and Importance through fifty
quiet years, when the call to papacy
came. From this point the story moves
quirky; the poor, simple old man dragged
weeping from his hermit's cave and borne
to the triumph from which he shrank;
the miserable weeks In Rome, with touch
ing examples of his simplicity and gulle
lesgness. . "

Investors, that they failed for millions. The

A story of love and war and eastern ad
venture. The publisher announces this Is
