COUNCIL SEEKS FOR PEACE
Sends Pacification Note to Judge
Crawford on Garbage Fuss.
WOULD SEEK SOME BEMEDY
As Matter Nw Stands Health Cent.
MlMiosrr Conuell Asserts He la
Isisle t eru r Air
The city council has agreed upon submis
sion t the police magistrate. The submis
sion is a trifle sarcastic and unfriendly,
but at least an emissary has been ap
pointed to wait upon his honor and ask
him what he may be pleased to ask as a
modification of the garbage ordinance that
will permit him to enforce It. At the meet
Inn of the council held Thursday morning
a communication was received from Health
Commissioner Connell stating that the men
brought before Judge Crawford for violat
ing the garbage ordinance or the milk
ordinance are greeted with a smile and
Immediately discharged without a question
or admonition. Within the last month the
ordinance was amended once after a dis
pute between Assistant City Attorney Dunn
and the police Judge, but even that seems
to be Insufficient.
"Oo down and find out what be wants,"
said Councilman Funkhouser. "Wt can't
afford to go on for three years more of
monkeying and horse piay. The whole thing
Is a farce."
Judge Iterka having been a police Judge
himself, as well as being famous as a
pacificator, was appointed to go down and
treat with the obdurate bench and reach
some basis of compromise.
Some change tn the charter will be made
if possible so that the city will have a bet
ter chance to legislate upon the letting of
contracts to dispose of refuse and garbage.
The city electrician recommended that a
part of the S3.K00 surplus In the year's
lighting fund be used to build a runway on
the "Welcome" arch so that the workmen
will not be In such danger of falling when
they are changing the letters. The artesian
well of the City National bank building was
again brought up for discussion and the
street Improvements committee was In
structed to advise the company to clear
the street. The well, according to the re
port of Councilman McOovern, has reached
a depth of 1,233 feet three and one-half
Inches at 8 o'clock Thursday morning, but
that precise Information gave no hint as to
how much further It would have to be sunk
before water was reached.
The appointment of Clinton Hronie as as
sistant city attorney to succeed John A.
nine, resigned, to take a higher office, was
confirmed.
NINETY DAYS FOR NOT
SUPPORTING HIS
WIFE
Judge Crawford Thinks Seventy-Five
(till In Three Months ot
Enough.
Because he had expended only 75 cents In
tha support of his wife during the last three
months, Sherman lllchardson, SIB North
Forty-fifth street, was sentenced to ninety
days In the county Jail by Police Judge
Crawford Thursday morning.
"Judge, I have had to make my own liv
ing ever since I married that man," said
Mrs. Richardson, "and the only money he
has spent on me In the last three months
was 75 cents for a stove that he bought at
a second hand store. That was so I could
have something to cook his meals on." '

Week of ew Musical Prodaetlou.
The up-to-the-minute numbers from the
new operattas and musical comedies re
cently Introduced in Amer.ca have just teen
transplanted to this city. The new Victor
Records for December include a most at
tractive list of production numbers, given
by the best singers and players, and every
one can now enjoy the "hits" of the big
musical successes.
The pretty ballad, "The Girl of My
Dreams," from the play of the same name.
Is pleasingly rendered by Harry Macdon
ouh and the Haydn Quartet. . "Alma" la
a most entertaining little number from
"Alma, Where Do Tou Live?" rendered by
Miss Barbour and Mr. Anthony.
The records of a new trombone solo by
Arthur Pryor is worthy of particular men
tion because this artist hasn't had much
time to devote to solo work since the or
ganlsatlon of his band, and this new num
ber "Polka Fantastic" shows the same
wonderful skill and golden tone which
made him- celebrated as the greatest of
players on this Instrument. Prior's Band
plays two new successes the rollicking
Griisly Bear" and the graceful two-step
Intermeszo, "Indian Summer" and a
movement from the great "Pathetic" Sym
phony by Tschalkowsky. "Way Down In
Cotton Town." a pretty little ballad all
about a southern village and a Dixie sweet
heart, la sung In quaint minstrel dialect
by Billy Murray, supported by the Ameri
can Quartet.
Three Christmas numbers are to be found
in the list of P.ed Seal Records. Evan Wil
liams sings them and he has perhaps no
equal as an Interpreter of the tenor music
of the Mersiah and Is at his best In these
two lovely airs. "Bv'ry Valley Shan Be
Exalted" and "Comfort Ye My People,"
as well as In a famous Christmas song,
"The Star of Bethlehem." Maud Powell
playa superbly a violin number of rare
beauty, "Der SCephlr," by Hubuy, a noted
Hungarian composer. A famous Kipling
ballad, "Rolling Down to Rio," Is brilliantly
sung by Herbert Wltlu-rspoon, who gives
the number Just the touch of humor it re
iulrv, and this artist alo gives a most
Imprevslve rendering of a Stabat Mater air.

Red Cross Seals for
People of All Ages
Ag-enU Are Now Bady to Sll to All
in the Great Anti-Tuberculosis
Campaign.
That every piece of portable goods In
Omaha ought to be marked with a Christ
mas seal Is a prlnolple so thoroughly be
lieved by the women who are carrying
that work that they stopped a 4-day-old
baby as it went by the office door Wednes
dsy and affixed a Christmas seal upon It.
The oldest inhabitant can be so decorated
If he or she will present himself at the
office on the eighth floor of the Brandels
building, or call Tyler 1687.
In an automobile whose chauffeur was
decorated with a Red Cross arm band Mrs.
K R. J. Edholm, the state executive sec
retary, distributed the supplies over the
city for three hours, and Wednesday
morning they were put on sale. From now
on until Christmas the campaign will be
strong. All those who want the seals
and have not already received them can
get them from the central office, and
everybody ts urged to help. Only 40.000
seals are now left In the reserve supply,
whloh was supposed to be kept at 100,000,
but more can be obtained from the central
office If necessary. There are 900,000 alto
gether on sale In Nebraska.
The postoffice substations . may be
pressed Into service as places for selling
the seals, as well aa the corridor of the
central building, and It Is planned to send
out some trumpeters through the city
wearing the Red Cross band and selling
the seals.
The distributers find it necessary to re
peat their warning that the seals are not
postage stamps and must not be used
for that purpose. They should be placed
on the bac ks of the letters and not beside
the postage stamps, aa that causes trouble
and vexation to the postal clerks.

WOULD CUT SCHOOL EXPENSE
Mothers Meet to Decide on Ways and
Means.
GOWNS FOR COMMENCEMENT
Some Advocate that the Girls Make
Their Own Dresses aa Part of
tko Requirement of
Graduation.
Ways and means of reducing the gradua
tion expense of the senior at the HJgh
school were earnestly discussed by the
mothers of seniors at the meetlngbf the
Household Economio department Thursday
morning. The department was scheduled
to consider textiles and did begin that
Important study, but forsook that for the
more pertinent and personal question of
"high school expense."
Furthermore, this latter subject Is to be
given thorough discussion at the next meet
ing of the department, which Is to be held
at 1 o'clock, December 15. and to be open
to the public. Miss Turner, teacher of
domestic science at the High school, is to
be Invited to speak.
The club women expressed themselves as
favoring the Introduction of the study of
sewing Into the high school curriculum
If It was introduced aa a substitute and
not as an additional study.
The Idea that the high school girls might
be taught to fashion their own dresses and
the commencement gown be thus a diploma
and Illustration of her needlework skill
was heartily favored by the mothers.
Gowns for the girls were given chief at
tention as chief source of expense at grad
uation time, but the mothers whose high
school representatives were sons declared
that they, too, had a problem of Increased
expense. Some attention, therefore, was
given to the boy's problem of escorting the
girls to the festivities.
Mrs. F. J. Burnett, leader of the d'art
ment, presided at the morning session.
GOSSIP OF THE VIADUCTS
New Ordinance to lie Introduced to
Shorten the Krw Locust
Street Drldsxe.
A new ordinance will have to be passed
by the city council before th Docust street
viaduct can be built. The regular pruce
dure is for the council to pass a resolution
declaring the necessity of a viaduct and
then an ordinance giving Its seciflcatlon8.
The resolution already passed can stand as
It Is, but the ordinance will h:ive to be
repealed and another substituted, because
the councllmen have decided to shorten
the bridge. It was originally intended to
have it run on Locust street from Fifteenth
street to the east city limits. Now It will
run from Fourteenth, but the distance be
tween ' two streets at that point is less
than 100 feet. The new ordinance will be
presented and passed at the next meeting
of the council.
There, is some agitation among Fifth
ward citixens to have a viaduct on Paul
street Instead of on Nicholas. The Nich
olas, street bridge is directly In the line of
the heavy traffic of that part of town,
however, and as ' Paul street has never
been opened across the tracks, there is
not likely to be a change. The Nicholas
street bridge will soon be under way.

County Employe is i
Robbed of Her Pay
by Two Armed Thugs
Miss Jennie Gibson is Relieved of Half
Month's Pay at Points of j
Revolvers.
Held up at revolver points by two rut-1
fians at Nineteenth street and Pt. Mary's
avenue while on her way home from her
day's work at S:46 Wednesday evening, Mls
Jennie Gibson, a stenographer In the office
of Robert Smith, clerk of the district court,
was robbed of 135, her salary for half a
month, which she had received less than
two hours before. The police department
and Sheriff Hi alley's office are working
on the case, but as Miss Gibson can give
but a vague description of the highwaymen
there is little possibility of their apprehen
sion. Through the ordeal Miss Gibson kept her
courage. When she reached her home,
Twenty-second and Leavenworth streets,
she collapsed from fright, but she waa able
to be at her desk as usual Thursday morn
ing. Leaving the county building Wednesday
evening Miss Gibson attended to some per
sonal affairs and then started homeward
on foot. As she reached the corner of
Nineteenth street and St. Mary's avenue
two men stepped out from the shadow of a
telephone pole and one of them accosted
her. asking for the name of the street.
Affected with the natural fear of a
woman suddenly accosted on the street at
night. Miss Gibson, without looking up Into
the faces of the men, replied, "Bt. Mary's
avenue."
"Throw up your hands!" said one of the
men.
Her fear Increased, Miss Gibson stole an
upward glance and found herself confronted
by two revolvers. The girl did as she was
bidden and told the ruffians they could
take everything.
One of the men stood by while the other
took the shopping bag from her upraised
band.
The fellow started to examine the con
tents of the bag, evidently with the Inten
tion of finding and removing money and
valuables, when the other highwayman or
dered him to take the "whole thing."
The order was obeyed and the highway
man who was doing the actual work pro
ceeded to search the several pockets of
Miss Gibson's coat. He found nothing of
value, remarking In a sneering tone when
he found some candy that she could keep
that. The man who was giving the orders
suggested that the girl's glasses be taken,
the mounting being of gold, but the other
said he would let her keep them so that
she might find her way home.
The men left Miss Glbaon and walked
briskly north on Nineteenth street while
she ran home.
"In addition to the money I had In the
bag some papers, some lists of names and
a few personal belongings," said Miss Gib
son. "Nothing but Uie money could be of
value to anyone but me. but everything I
had In the bag was worth a good deal to
me."
The holdup, perpetrated as It was at a
corner and an hour where and when many
persons were likely to pass. Is said to be
one of the boldest recorded in Omaha In
many months.
The sheriffs office Is of the opinion that
the deed was done by some persons who
knew that Wednesday was pay day for the
county employes and knew that it was
Miss Gibson's habit to walk home In the
evening. .
Other girl, workers in the county building
shuddered when Miss Gibson told them her
story Thursday. They declare that in tho
future they will have brothers, fathers or
men friends see them heme on pay day
evenings.
ASKS POLICE TO FIND WIFE
Farmer from Iowa Thinks His Wif
Has Been Kidnaped Search
Continues.
Leaving his wife In a clothing store
Thursday morning at 1122 Farnam street
while he went across the street to an em
ployment bureau to apply for a Job, Bert L.
Burk, a farmer of Walnut, la., returned to
the store and found she had disappeared.
He reported his loss to the police station.
Detective Dunn was detailed by Chief of
Detectives Savage to go to the store with
the man to find the missing woman. A
search of the store, which was demanded
by Burk, proved fruitless. The clerks in
the store said the woman had gone out
