PRICES AT HOME AND ABROAD
Ny Department Famishes Figures
on Cost of Food In For
rlgn Porta.
WASHINGTON. March 10-The senate
cost of living committee yesterday exam
ined E. F. Hall, who conducts a local
grocery and meat market. He said the
biggest Jump In meat prices be had ever
known was In the last two years, but gave
no comparative figure.
Mr. Hall said he figured on a gross profit
of 16 per cent, but was satisfied with a
net profit of 6 per cent. This caused Sen-
tor Bmoot to Inquire:
'Then how Is It you have accumulated
136,000 In fifteen years?"
The reply of Mr. Hall was regarded by
the committee as somewhat evasive, but
the point was not pressed.
Mr. Hall said the Elgin creamery was
standard and that the butter price was
fixed at Elgin. He stated that it was a
trade supposition that a number of manu
facturers in Elgin get together and fix
the price of Elgin butter.
Prices Seventy Year Agra.
Senator Lodge has discovered that there!
was a time In the past when prices were
unusually high. The fact came to him
through the finding of an old document of
the Twenty-fourth congress. It Is a recom
mendation by the secretary of the treasury
for an increase In the salaries of clerks
and the senator today obtained from the
senate permission for the reprinting of the
paper.
It was accompanied by a private mem
orandum of expense kept by a cleric.
Which showed that the price of sugar was
14 centa a pound at that time; flour, $8 a
barrel, and Illuminating oil. 11 per gallon.
On the other hand, labor was paid only 76
centa a day.
'Transportation coat' 10 cents a mile,
whereas It Is now 2 cents," said Senator
Bacon. "Conditions are entirely different."
The date", of the document waa 1836. . , :

It cost less to feed the navy on' the
Chinese coast than at- any other portion
of the globe, according to figures trans
mitted to the house today by Secretary
Meyer In response to a resolution calling
for the prices paid for foodstuffs at home
and In foreign ports during 1909.
Fresh beef was 6 cents a pound at Chefoo
and- 16 cents at Gibraltar, while at home,
6 cents at Key West and 10 cents at Pen
sacola, 8H cents at New Tork, more than
1 cents at Boston, Washington and San
Francisco; 8 to 10 centa In Japan, 9 cents in
Constantinople and from 12 to 14 cents in
Panama.
Chicken waa 14 to 26 cents at home and
9 to 27 cents abroad. Eggs coat only from
5 to 7 cents a doxen at Chinese ports, but
in the United States were lowest at Wash
ington at 22 cents and highest t Charles
ton, 8. C, 34 cents, with Port Llmon at 55
cents, the highest abroad.
Bread ranged at home from 3 to almost
6 cents and abroad from a little under
2 to almost 10 centa. Potatoes ran from

by Board to HUoi City and
Kaaeaa City Contests.
, LINCOLN, March 10. (Fpeclal.) Ben R.
Sherrington of Omaha was today elected
by the University ' of Nebraska athletic
toard to coach the Cornhusker track candi
dates for this spring. He 'took charge of
the squad this afternoon and game them
two hours' training out of doors,
j Cherrlngton coached the Omaha High
school track team last, year and turned oat
Such a fast bunch that the Omaha lads' wt.n
the state meet with east. The new coach
Is a Junior In the university. His selection
was made at the request of a majority of
the track candidates. I. P. Hewitt, who
had been considered for the position, found
It Impossible to accept the offer of the
Cornhusker board.
During the last few days the track men
have been In training out of doors for the
Indoor meets at Omaha, Sioux City and
Kansas City. Even yesterday, during a
snowstorm, they sprinted along the paved
streets of the city, trying to get Into the
best form porsible for the coming contests.
The Sioux City meet takes place Satur
day. The Cornhuskers will not have a large
representation there. The athlrtlc board
has decided to send only five or six men
to the Sioux City and Kansas City meets
In order to keep down expenses for those
meets and have most of the track money
available for dispatching a team of fifteen
men to the Omaha games on April 1.
Team for Sloax City.
The men who will go to Sioux City Satur
day are: McDonald, ex-captain of the Ne
braska track team; Reed, speedy shirt dis
tance man; Funkhouser, weight heaver;
Graham, vaulter and high Jumper; Minor
and Burke, runners.
McDonald win be entered In the hurdle
races, and Is regarded as a probable win
ner of the short barrier run. He has been
In training for two weeks and should be In
fairly good condition. He holds both of
the Nebraska records In the burdle events.
Funkhouser is the freshman athlete who
defeated Sidney Collins, the star university
weight man. In the shot put on charter
day. He heaved the lroa ball over forty
four feet. He stands a good chance of get
ting a place In the Sioux City games.
Graham is the leader In the pole vault.
He has done 11 feet 2 Inches In this event.
He also will be entered In the high Jump,
Since the Injury to Hummell, Graham has
I been the best Jumper on the Cornhusker
team.
Reed and Minor will represent the Corn
husker in the shorter races. Reed Is the
faster of the two men. Nebraska's best
runners did not compete In the tryouts for
the' meet because of their school work.
Both Swanson and May are better short
distance men than Reed and Minor and
they will be ready to compete by the time
of the Omaha games.
Nebraska' relay team at Sioux City on
Saturday will be oomposed of McDonald,
Reed, Burke and Minor. This team will be
nearly as strong aa the quartet that won
first place for Nebraska In - the Kansas
meet last spring. Unless Grlnnell sends a
strong relay team to the meet, Nebraska
ought to win first place,

WASHINGTON, March lO.-To settle any
remaining doubt of the fate of the tug
Nina, Which foundered off the Delaware
capes recently, the Navy department sent
the cruiser Birmingham from Norfolk to
Metomkln Inlet life-saving station on the
Delaware coast to identify the small boat
picked up on the beach there. The Blrm
inham is now returning to Norfolk with
the boat, which it Is now certain belonged
to the Nina, and this Is taken as final
proof of the loss of the tug. The next step
will be the Issue of a formal notice of the
loss of the vessel and the payment of two
months' full wages to the dependent rela
tives of the lost sailors of the crew.

Mr. Payne of New Tork. the republican

comparable only to the Alabaman's conten.

It would bankrupt the United .States to

'-WASHINGTON',1 March 1. -i Admiral
Schrbedrr ft'rts "pasd the naval officials
by a report of the recent full pomer trials
of the tat tlexhipa. composing the Atlantic
fleet off Guantanamo.' The remarkable
showing was madf that ships eleven years
old, like the Wisconsin, were capable of
exceeding their oontract eperd, which Is
regarded as a high testimonial of the
efficiency of the engineer forct'S and the
oare taken of the machinery.
The general statement Is made that the
horsepower realised by . the fleet exceeded
that developed on , the contractors' trials,
although In. the case of the Guantanamo
trials the crew were regular navy men,
the ships were all loaded and long out
of dock. and the crews were not specially
selected. Another significant fact Is that
the ships are now ready for any kind of
service nowithstandlng the severe test.
The Nebraska appears to held the speed
record at 19.11; the Virginia second with
19.045, and the Georgia third with 19.003
knots per hour. The Vermont made the
lowest record wltfi 14.14 knots.

MOVE TOWARD BETTER CITY
Committee Named by Mayor to Work
with C. M. Robinson.
LATTES POINTS OUT ELEMENTS
Center of Meeting; Composed ef
Women, Officials and Private Clt.
Iseas to Consider Plan of
Improving Omaha.
Charles Mulford Robinson, who plans
cities and - makes over In modern, artistic
fashion the unsightly and waste places of
municipalities, spnt Thursday In Omaha.
Ills visit resulted In the appointment of
the following committee to consult with
him with a view to his possible engage
ment to make a plan for Omaha to work
toward: President E. P. Berryman of
the Park hoard. President F. P. Wead of
the Real Estate exchange, Frank L. Haller
of the Commercial club, Oity Engineer
Craig, City Comptroller Lobeck, Council-
men Hummel and Sheldon.
The committee met with Mr. Robinson at
the council chamter at 2:90. It waa agreed,
after discussion, that the expert shall put
In the form of a letter his Idea of the
scope of work that a report for Omaha
ought to cover, and also give the cost of
his services In making a plan, If the com
mittee decides to take the matter up seri
ously. City Engineer Crslg was made chair
man of the committee and City Comptroller
Lobeck secretary.
The committee was named by Mayor
Dahlman, who presided at the conference
held with Mr. Robinson at the Rome hotel.
Mrs. F. H. Cole, president of the State
Federation of Women' Clubs, had hur
riedly called over the "phone a score of
men and women to meet Mr. and Mrs.
Robinson. As a result there was a gather
ing of perhaps twenty-five present, In
cluding many city official an men promi
nent In business lnr.
Mrs. Cole Introduce Him.
At the opening Mrs. Cole told something
of Mr. Robinson' work, and then the lat
ter briefly spoke. He said he had been
working In St. Joseph for two weeks to
prepare a plan for a park system and a
small olvio center. This latter will have
as Its main feature at present the new
olty hall.
Mayor Dahlman called on several men
In the audience to express their .view on
the possibility of starting a movement her
to secure a definite plan of future city
building for Omaha. City Attorney Bur
nam favored the Idea, giving reason
drawn from the experience of other oltles,
citing Denver In partloular.
President Berryman and Members Miller
and Watson of ' the Park board alBO
thought the opportunity should be seized
to seoure the views of the visiting expert
and gave him some outline of what has
been done In the park building line and
what Is contemplated.
Victor Rosewater, who was called on by
the mayor, said the Park board had done
a good deal of creditable work with the
money at Its disposal. He pointed out that
work in any one direction was not so much
to be desired as Intelligent effort consist
ently devoted to Improving the city gen
et ally.
Some Obstacles to Beauty.
"You cannot make a good Impression on
visitor, ' said Mr. Rosewater, "when they
see elegant building on this corner and
that, and alongside of them Old shock
that would not be a credit to a village.
Neither can you make a good impression
on visitor when they see along your prin
cipal street 'the asphalt pavement full of
holes. . To ' bring fabout the Mad of elty
we are' all anxious to have we must take
stock of our resoource generally and of
our finance particularly. No one subjeot
of interest can be fostered at the expense
of all others, but the best work will com
prehend all the varied matter that are
Involved In city building."
Frank L. Haller said he had Just returned
from a trip through Mexico, "which we
are accustomed to look on a a benighted
nation. The example of city beauty and
city cleanliness that I aaw while away
mads me ashamed of what we have In
Omaha. The Woman' club and all other
organisation must come down to earth.
Pink teas and good resolutions are not
what we want. When we Bee our streets
littered and the needed elementary things
left undone, we should make up our mind
to stay down on the earth and do the beet
we can toward accomplishing the merely
necessary things before Indulging In plati
tude and dreams."
This Get Mr. Cole.
This brought Mrs. Cole to her feet with
the statement that the women wanted to
hear what the men had to say, and they
were not attempting to force their own
view.
"We Just want to help In any way we
can," she said. "We are not giving pink
teas, but I wish we could give one and In
vite all you men, especially Mr. Haller, in
his present humor."
Mrs. Johnson also had a word to say as
to the purpose and the hopes of the
Woman's club, and then Mayor Dahlman
read all present a very serious lecture on
the need for going to the legislature If they
want clean streets and a better olty.
"When you talk of dirty streets, he said,
"you can always have a fight If I am
around, because no business men, no or.
ganlxation, would go to the legislature
with us to have a maximum appropriation
allowed that would be aomethlng like other
cities of our size have. If you want cleaner
streets and better municipal conditions,
you must provide the money. Our whole
appropriation could have been spent in
three months this winter and then the
streets would not have been clean and
what would you do the other nine months.
The business people and the leading citi
zens of Omaha must go to the legislature,
after electing the right kind of men, and
ask that the state constitution be amended
so that Omaha can make Its own charter.
Then you can have your designs carried
out, but not until then."
Several Others Speak,
Rome Miller Indorsed the mayor's views
and said Omaha spends less on Its parks
than St. Joseph, even.
Judge Sutton spoke of the need of In
telligently planned work and Incidentally
said he believed South Omaha Is ready to
come Into Omaha today If the opportunity
la offered without politics being mixed In
the matter.
Councllmen Sheldon and Berka and City
Comptroller Lobeck made brlaf talks on the
general subject, and expressed the View
that if the people are awakened to what la
necessary; within a few years, Omaha
ran be one of the moat beautiful cities In
the country.

The first time you hear it you will be surprised at it
ptxxlnes. Ertrybody is particularly the first time you
hear the Ediaon Phonograph play an Amberol Record.
People who hae heard Phonographs talked about, or
who have heard them at a distance on the street, or who hav
heard some other make of sound-reproducing machine,
do not realize the remarkable goodness of the Edison
Phonograph.
This is partly due to the wonderful sapphire point which
docs not scratch or make any sound, and partly due to the
wonderful Amberol Records which are so smooth and dear
that they can reproduce the finest violin melody with all
its natural sweetness.
This is the same instrument which plays and sings those
musical comedy songs which everybody whistles.
TheEdisonPhonographdoes everything and does it well.
