Faetna; a situation, which Pr. R. Connell declares threaten the life of every Omaha cltlxen. the health commissioner has appealed to the cfly attorney for ad vice as to the most feasible methods of Solving the snrbane rroblem. "Unless Immediate steps are taken to pro vide for the collection end disposal of gar tae. the city face a crisis, which may result In great loss of life."' says Pr. Con rirll. "We must do something and do It tiuick. With the hot summer months com ing on. thfre Is not a minute we can af ford to waste." Two wpoks ago the city ctrrk was di rected to advertise for bid for the collec tion and disposal of garbage. Bids were ti have been opened Tuesday night by the city council, but hot a contractor In the city sent in an estimate. None wanted the Job, though the eiclflcations called for eight dlntrlcts, which would have provided contracts for as many men. With the refusal of the contractors to Md. the health commissioner has taken the question of garbage collection and. dls j Ofoil into his own hands. He proteoses to solve it If there is any possible way' to Co It. In the opinion of the h"aHh commissioner, two wuys exist In which thu collection and dposal can be handlni. Either an imnscncy oidlnance, declaring the neces-f-.iy of raising funds for the purpose can l.o pas sed by the city council, or else he can direct contractors to collect garbage in tho various districts, and they can look lo the city for their money. Dr. Cunnell prefers the emergency ordi nance and icferred the proposition to the ilty ut'.oniey Wednesday morning for an opinion. City Attorney Bine Inclines to the belief that ah emergency ordinance may he passed on the basis of unforseen accidents. Are Damping Everywhere. Garbage and refuse collectors are dump ing tli' li' loads all over the city. Irrespec tive of tiie ordinances, says the health commissioner, and some regulations must be pasfed to stop the practice. To cicumvent this Dr. Connell proposes to have an ordinance passed licensing and r pointing garbage oollectora, the same as ill other contractors who use wagons. "In tins .nay we can keep tab on collectors and .i ue ute them when they dump garbage nnd refuse la vacant lots." declares. Con nil. . . Though the city has an srdinance govern ing the dumping of refuse, absolutely no piovlsion Is made for unloading; garbage. The mrtlnances distinguish between refuse i r.d gar bag and provide a dumping: ground i i.' refuse In the vicinity of Eleventh and t.'.ant street, ' "Hut no place exists In the city where v o can dump garbage," said Dr.'Connell. I a years ago w were served with no t cm. by the government to stop dumping Kiibue in the river or along the river In: ks. That leavee us without place to rflMOse of the garbage. The refuse propo t iUon can be handled if we can get regu lations passed by the olty council. "l'.ut unless something la done lnstanter, epidemics, one after another, are liable to result from the decomposition of garbage and refuse throughout the city. "From fifty to 100 complaints are pour ing Into this office daily from property owners, but I can do nothing. I have no authority to direct garbage collectors In any manner." share today, reaching the $.100 mark, ac cording to announcement made by F. C Holllnger of the Logan Bryan company. This comes as a direct result of the Stand ard Oil decision. Advice from New Tork explains that the heavy buying of Amer ican Is based oh the Idea that the company Is not likely to be forced to dissolve after Its decision is handed down. The American Tobacco company Is Involved, as was the Standard Oil, and a decision In Its case Is expected Monday. It Is also explained that In any event there will be some sort of a distribution or capital Increase following the forthcoming decision. American To bacco stock Is reported to be very scarce. Mr. Holllnger says that reports indicate that the general public Is now the buyer of stocks, the sellers being those who bought before the Standard Oil decision was handed down. Since Tuesday morning there has been a general advance all along the list of stock, averaging from IS to 17 a share. Indications are that stocks are going higher.

Josam Camsbsu Cowrawv Ctaea N J Look for the red-and-white Lbcl a can Contest is Keen for Council Committees Many Are After the Best Places to Be Handed Out by the New President .Competition for the chairmanships of the various council committees is as keen, if not keener, than the struggle which finally resulted in Councilman Louis Berka being nominated for the presidency of the council, Berka has the naming of the committees and all sorts of pressure Is being brought to bear on the prospective president. The combination of six republicans and three Insurgent democrats, however, will take about all the places on the committees that are worth while. Whenever one of the standpatters Is placed on a committee he will be so sur rounded by members of the combine that he .will practically be powerless to do any thing unless the combine wants it. All told, twelve committees are to be named, but of these four the Judiciary, finance and claims, street lighting and publlo property and buildings are consid ered the most Important. Though no definite slate has-been made for the committees it la said the chairman ships of the Important, committees have practically been settled. ' The' committees will be appointed rext Tuesday night, fol lowing the reorganisation of the council next Monday afternoon. - . The finance-and claims, now composed of Sheldon, chairman, ' end Johnson and Berka. will suffer little change. Berka may name some 'one to replace him, but Sheldon is the likely, man for the chairman ship. Funkhouser will break Into the lighting committee again, either as chairman or a a member. Johnson, who Is slated for !the vlco presidency. Is the present chairman, but, he Is willing to give way and take the chairmanship of the publlo property and buildings committee Instead. If these plans prevail, he and Funkhouser will change places on the two committees. . Funkhouser wae formerly chairman of the lighting committee, but was moved by the combination when Brucker was elected president. Joseph Hummel Is touted as the chairman of the judiciary committee to replace Berka.' Berka will head the rules committee, a place that goes to the presi dent by courtesy. On all the committees, however. It Is stated that there will be enough of the combine members to dominate the pro ceedings. Aesthetic Dances to Draw Big Crowds Advance Sale of Seats Far Above All Expectations of the Pro , moters. The opening ticket sale for the aesthetic dancing entertainment to be given at the Brandeis Saturday for the Child Saving Institute was more Indicative of a gen eral Interest In the affair than its pro moters had expected. Both performances will probably be largely attended not only by the friends of the pupils of Mies Lew den, who are to do the dancing, but by hundreds of others who are inter eat ed in the art Itself. The musical program la to be unusually attractive. It will be played under the direction of Ernest Nordln by the regular Brandela orchestra, and many of the se lections ware made on suggestions by Mr. Nordln. In the Scotch scene there will be a reel and a highland fling and In, the Irish scene some real Jigs. Mr. Hugh Wallace, who sings the thi-ee songs In this number, has choaen VThe Low Back Car," by Lover; "Believe Me it All Thoae Endearing Young Charms," by .Tom Moore, and "Kitty of Coleralne." from an old Irish air. In the English scenes the orchestra will play Ballet No. S, "Bacchanal," from Gounod's "Faust;" a gavotte from "Iphl genle en Audlide," by Qluck. and an old English lyric.
