BOOSTING SPIRIT IS LAUDED rrefeiiMlor!, Mpi Seek to Stick Toffrthrr nnd Work One for Marr of Inrrr( to Wholp Community. The meeting of evpntyclght graduate , engineers, architects and chemists at the g University club lut night resolved Jtslf Tf" Into one of the blguedt -and llvest good fellowship conventions of men of tlia technical professions ever De;d In Omaha i Preceding the banquet, Scott King wan chosen temporary chairman and called on representatives from all of the professions for opinions and Buctieetlona tending to ward the formation of a teciinical club. A committee ot ten u selected to draw up articles of organisation and sub mit them at the beginning of the now year. The committee consists of George W. Craig, Cleorre U Fisher. R. II. Find ley. II. A. lloldrege, J. W. Towle, J. Jcffery Davey. W. L. Erayton. Father OwVlllJam F. Rlgge, Waldemar Michael- sen. Craig Explains the Call, City Engineer Craig explained the pur , pose of the meetings to get together and ! become acquainted and form a permanent organization If It was thought best and then called for a general dlecuppion, which was responded to by practically very one present. All expressed the belief that Omaha was behind the times in not having a technical club and vowed allegiance to such an' association if ef fected. Among those who lauded the Idea ot J such an organisation, composed of all t engineers regardless of their specialized ' professions, were: Father W. F. Rlgge of Crelghton university, George McBride, II. A. lloldrege, deorge L. Fisher, John W. . Towle, John A. Bruce. P. A. Edqulst. Henry M. Milburn, Lloyd X Willis, P. H. Patton, R. II. Flndley, II.

Wagner, sales manager for the Consolidated Expanded Metal com panies of Pittsburgh, was. a guest o the C engineers and called upon thm to boost t for Omaha, for Omaha men and for i Omaha businesses. "You will never have the best Omaha until you co-operate to the best advantage," he said "and for a time cease your Individual fighting for goodfcllowshlp meetings like this. 'Get the Omaha spirit. Believe it Is wrong for Omaha contracts to be let to eastern contractors, for Omaha buildings to be designed by outside architects. From what I have seen ot the men of Omaha, and I have a large acquaintance lre, you can handle any Job that comes up here. Spend Money nt Home. 'Insist that money made In Omaha be pent here. Insist that Omaha business S men buy their material of Omaha firms. let contracts to Omaha contractors, have their buildings designed by Omaha archT ( tects and tbe work alt done by Omaha labor. It will pay In the end and It la the best way. Whereverthere Is co-operation at home there will be a pro gressive place and the more co-operative you are I the mora progressive will be your town. Unity will make Omaha the beat place Olid It Is the only thing that will build up the best city here." Plaarxtnar for Each Other. The sentiment expressed by Mr. Wag ner, who is a resident of New fork, struck the keynote of the meeting and was enlarged upon by every speaker. John W. Towle declared that if the engi neers kept plugging for more absolute homo patronage they would succeed and advocated as a means to this success a better understanding and a wider ac quaintance of the technical men and tho work they are. doing. A good-natured. spirited discussion occurred on the rela- ive status of architects and engineers but was blown away In a wave ot good- fellowship and all united In declaring that one profession needed the other. The unity of the two professions, as well as tha nhpmlatK nh vslclftns. baaterlnlnirliitfl Xj , 8 :' n ether sclentlflo men, was declared V.' necessary for the accomplishment of the best purposes ot all. Nona of the engineers dissented when Jim Craddock announced that the organ ization ought to enter and mix In the political game. "You see," he said, "we will need a eood legislative committer. vfr one of the moat Important bills to ' Jf oma before the next legislature Is one to provide for a board of control. We V" want to Influence that legislation. Also, we have commissioners to elect and we ought ot be represented In the city gov ernment by a commissioner or two." John W. Towle pointed out that present at the meeting wete two or three men who would make mighty good commis sioners aud Intimated that the 150 or 2X engineers lti the city may demand recog nition. Other speakeis were in accoid with this llr.e ot action and plans were launched for making the association a political weapon as well as an educational Instrument. I Dr. Millard Langfeld, city bacteriologist, v " took a fall out ot all professions present, accusing them ot neglecting the medical men In not "using them more." "You think you know It all," he said, "but we ought to be consulted about a few thlnga ' I find bouses built without any modern Idea of sanitation and too often we are called In after the damage is done." He cited instances where evidence of the mecioal men had won cases In the courts or defeated them when nearly won. i "The French," he assorted, "could have lJUr'"Dullt the Panama canal It they had called in the phyBiclans. Our bugoloclsts have killed the mos'iuito. down there, elimin ated yellow fever and malaria and made the- completion of the project possible." He facetiously and In high raillery called them all to task and drew a1 fire 04' , repartee that even Chairman King could , not surpress. , At the clog of the meeting It was un- orcided when the next dinner would be given, hut thooe who were present were io pleased with the first that several Insisted on paying for several dinners instead of one and were apparently luucn disappointed when their money was re- , fused.

Passport Question is Breach of Treaty, Asserts Habbi Colin "The Russo-Amerlean pansport question is purely an American Issue, even though It Is of vital Interest to members of Jewish fallh." said Rabbi Frederick Cohn last nlxht at the Temple Israel. "When tho Russian government refused to abide by the teims of the treaty made with America, by violating the passport clause; refusing to allow American cltlsins fieedont in Russia because they are members of the Jewish faith, by this violation thoy have Invalidated the treaty, and the United States government should take decisive action. If It does not It Is an admission that American statesmen are Inferior to the Russians, for tliflr very submission In the face ot the breach of faith Indicate "that they are allowing the Russian officials to say who shall constitute the citizenship of the United 6tatesv t "Russian officials have sneered at American laws: they have openly ignored American requests, and as Miey have never been brought up with a round turn, of course they will go one Btep farther and exclude American cltlxene from Rus sia merely because they are Jews. It Is an American question and should be settled at once, but the American Jews are not the ones to settle it It Is up to the American statesmen to protect the rights of the citizens they represent. Few Jews who after renouncing the old coun try and becoming Amc.k-anlsed ever want to go back to Europe, but as long as an agreement exists allowing them the privilege, that agreement should be car ried out, and if orie of the contracting countries breaka Us agreement, then im mediate action ot some sort should be taken." Dr. 'Cohn's sermon last night was heard by several hundred persons, among whom, were many prominent Omaha Jewish business men who have con siderable political Influence.

GUSHER CHASES OLD POVERTY Oil Writ Lightens the Strangle of Widowed Mother ia Pennsylvania. "They've struck a gusher, room; we're rich!" shouted Mrs. May WUson Bush's 7-year-old son as be dashed - into th house In Cannonsburg, Pa., where his mother was wearily rubbing at a wash board. Mrs. Bush, who sine her husband's death four years ago, has eked out a scanty living for herself and three small children, almost collapsed when, follow, ing the boy out to where an oil well was being- drilled ia the back yard of her little property, in Ridge avenue, she saw a great greenish gold stream pouring Into the tank. Tba.flow during the first twenty-four hours was SOO barrels, and Mrs. Bush's share of the one day's production Is about $13, Aa soon as possible the well will be drilled deeper, and probably "shot." with, a prospect ot Increasing the flow. The well Is the best ot any drilled since the town lot development began there last summer. Following ' the drilling of the "Bush gusher" a dozen mora locations were made, and oil excitement Is running high. Every lot within what Is beHeved to be the defined pool is under lease.
