TUB HRK: (WAITA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1011. 13 AffAIRS AUOUTH OMAHA rurther Cut in City Engineer's Force ii Contemplated. XTTW GRADE SYSTEM PLANNED Frapose te Make Street Lliri Follow Vidtlatloii of Land mud Thai Cat Oat Many Damage Claims, Tt la probable that with the cut already made in the force of the city engineer there will be mill other reductions by the first of the year. This was ira'.hered from conversation with Mat Peterso, chair man of the finance committee, who main tains that there are some radical changes needed In the department. When Councilman Peterson 'was ex pressing his views on the subject there were present other city officials, who Indicated by their concurrence that they were anxious to see certain changes made. Beside the expenses pertaining to run ning the engineer's of lice, certain offi cials are considering some ways and means whereby the grading and paving damage claims may be eliminated or cur tailed to a minimum. According to these officials, the chief damage claims result from a policy of cutting a bee line through all obstacles on the streets to be graded. Owing to the uneven nature of the ground such a cut often times Increases the expense of grading. In some parts of the city the bee line cut on a level grade entails the purchase of filling by the city, while In other parts of the town there Is the ex pense of deep excavation. This expense is needless according , to many, who hold that in grading the natural declivities of the land should form the basis for the grading. In other Words, what the conservative supporters of civic Improvement want is a paving system based upon the natural undula tions of the ground and not a level line at all hazards. Newsies Feast. "May be you tlnk we didn't have some feed," said a newsboy last night after, he had done Justice and more than Just Ice to the Thanksgiving feast prepared by Truant Office Paul Macauley at the Haverly hotel. For indeed the probation officer 'won the plaudits of thirty-five of his young charge when he sat them down to a real Thanksgiving' dinner with turkey and all the fringes. One of McAulcy's charges takes exception to the turkey. " He says that while there may have . been some turkey, his turkey waa goose. Anyway, there was a great time among the newsies of South Omaha albeit the probation officer Insisted on soap and water as a sine qua non to the feast. One of the fraternity who called In to see that the "show got Into the paper alright," persists in demanding that the menu be published. "Tell 'em what we had. and, oh, say, tell 'em that Paul McAuley Is alright." Backahot Stop Prisoner. Bill Karns, a prisoner at - the Sarpy county jail In Paplllion. In an endeavor to escape Wednesday was brought to a summary halt by a load of buckshot sent In his direction by the jail officers. Karns was arrested Tuesday for an alleged theft of corn from a farmer named Freund, who lives In Sarpy county Just outside the city limits. Freund complained to the police and Karns was arrested and held until the arrival of Sheriff J. H. Spearman of Kftrpy. When the sheriff and his prisoner had arrived at the Paplllion jail Karns asked permission to speak ' with his ' sister. Sheriff Spearman granted the request and allowed the prisoner to bold a few minutes' private speech with his sister. The kindness of the sheriff was forgot ten by Karns, who Immediately essayed to take French leave of the Jail and sheriff. Sheriff Spearman and his men are not unhandy with a gun and Karns came to an abrupt stop when he found that the officials had gotten his range. He was brought back to Jail, where he awaits the action of the court. Woman Hants Haaband. Mrs. Qus Pallvek of McCook Is in the city In search of her husband, oils Pall vek, who disappeared from his home about a week ago. Pallvek was a stockman and waa sup posed to have come to. South Omaha from MoCook. When he failed to return within a reasonable time Mrs. Pallvek appealed to the police, who have taksn up the matter. Mrs. Pallvek fears, her huBband may have come to some un. toward end. Too Mach Good Cheer. An over-abundance of Thanksgiving ex- hiliratlon proved the undoing of three separate Individuals who last night ended up their celebration In 'the hands of the police surgeon. John Elliott of Forty-third and I streets, having partaken rather freely of the day's good cheer, was returning home at 8: when ho fell from a cross-town car at Twenty-fourth and M streets, causing an Injury to his right hip. Dr. T. J. SI i ana ban attended the Injury and. Elliott was accompanied to his home by Edward Ecardy. John Doe, whose Gallic cognomen the police were unable to obtain, walked into the police station about 9:30 o'clock and exhibiting a bloody countenance to the startled desk sergeant informed the cop pars that the car "had run away from him." Doe said he had not fallen from the car nor had the carmen ejected him The drift of bis Btory was that being in a contemplative mood he had walked off the platform of the street car at Twen ty-slxth and N streets. Dr. Shanahan was again summoned and he of the un v pronounceable name was retired to the calaboose. A few minutes later as the police were fettling themselves to a much needed rest Detective John foloudek ambled In with a large black named George Winn. Wlrti was found at Twenty-seventh and N streets with a badly cut head. He said he had been struck by a brick, but re fused to reveal the name of his assailant. Dr. T. J. Shanahan attended the wounds and Winn was retired to the downy quar ters of BUI Corrlgan's addition. oath Omaha Ttowllnsr.

Willie Richie, a lightweight from the training entourage of Packey McFarland, achieved an Inter national fistic reputation today by staying twenty rounds with Freddie Welah, the British lightweight challenger, who was to, have gone on with Ad Wolgast In a Thanksgiving championship battle at Vernon. Richie, on twenty-four hours' notice, was ' substituted for Wolgast, who was bcroft of . his vermiform appendix at a hospital yesterday. Welsh was given the decision, but Richie had him groggy on two or three occasions and after the mill the one topic of conversation among the "fans" centered on the question: "How long would Welsh have lasted against Wolgaat If the latter had been in the ring?" After an all night train ride from San Francisco, Richie entered the arena some' what heavy. Welsh appeared trained to the minute. Welsh excelled in ting gen- eralithlp and did most of the leading, but his blows lacked steam, while Richie's, when they landed, generally stopped him.

Saffcests Bureaa of Experts to Redoes Waste Perfect Efflcleacr Asserted Impossible. CHICAGO, Dec. l.-American ral- roads lose 150.000,000 worth of fuel s, year and consume $200,000,000 worth of coal to secure 180.000,000 worth of efficiency a further waste of 1120,000,000 worth of fuel, according to figures prepared by Chief Engineer U E. Fitch of the Chi cago, Great Western railroad. That road conducted an Investigation for Itself, fol lowing the charge by Ixuls D. Brandels that railroads wasted 11,000,000 a day In Inefficient service and Mr. Fitch's report Is one result. The remedy suggested Is a fuel bureau of experts. Improved firing devices on locomotives, a school for firemen, more scientific ordering of locomotives for service and closer watch of exposed coal yards. 'Each loss of 1 per cent of fuel In American railroad business means a loss of 12,000,000," says Mr. Fitch's report. Only 46 per cent of the coal used re turns effective results, the remainder be ing wasted. "This loss goes Into blown off steam. unburned gases, waiting locomotives that have been fired up too soon, radiation from boilers, lumps lost along the road and taken from open coal yards, unscien tific handling of locomotives and other wastes. Work for Fuel Boreas. 'The fuel bureau could begin by intelli gent purchasing of higher grade coal. could Instruct firemen to perform their work with economy In view, could con' duct tests for better heat Insulation of boilers, have call orders for engines Is sued with more regard for the length of time required to fire up and could other wise conserve the fuel supply." In ten years, says the report. Ameri can railroads have . Increased the cost of their fuel supply from 1104,91:6,000 to $213.h28,000. The figures for recent years given are: For 1906. $158,429,000; for 1907, $200,261,000, for 1909, 1188,735,000; for 1910, $21$, 838,000. "Of course, 100 per cent efficiency la impossible," continued the report, "but the present 55 per cent of waste certainly may be cut down to an appreciable de gree. Careful Investigation of the main tenance and operation of our road and others within the scope of our observa tion leads us to believe It Is not unrea sonable to think that from 20 to 25 per cent of this waste may be cut off. effect ing the saving of from $40,000,000 to $,000, 0U0 spoken of in this report. Limit to Efficiency. "It must be realised, of course, that the cost of operating a 'conservation bu reau' of fuel would Increase as the effl elency percentage Increased. During the first per cent of savings this cost would be slight compared with ths expenses cut down. Beyond a certain amount, how ever, this cost would mount rapidly till there would be a question of the value of the bureau, because it would become cumbersome and in its own way. "The efficiency limit of this efficiency service would be reached. It seems, when about 25 per cent of the present losses in fuel were cut off; further gain could be better peached through more scientific construction of locomotives.
