BAKER AND HERDHAN CLASH City Council and Water Board Arc Again at Loggerheads. ASK COUNCIL TO MAKE MOVE President Bar low and Attorney Ilrrdman Rrqnrst Commissioners to Designate Streets Where Water Mains Are Laid. City Corporation Counsel Baker and W. H. Herdman, counsel for the water board, met In legal battle in the city coun cil chamber yesterday, the point at issue being whether the council or the water board has power to designate streets upon which water mains shall be laid. Judge Baker said the council had power to grant or refuse permits for such mains, but the water board had authority to designate the streets. Herdman said if this were true tsi, council was at tempting to do indirectly what It ad mitted It did not have power to do di rectly. A communication from Milton T. Bar low, chairman of th9 water board, asked the council to desip.ate the street for the new Florence main, but the coun cil refused to do so, advising the board's attorney to ask for a permit. Councilman MoGovern declared pipes for this new main were being strewri nlong Twenty-eighth avenue and that a permit for the laying of the main on that street would be granted by his de partment upon request. Upon motion the communication from President Barlow was placed on file and the water board's attorney notified to ask for a permit, Judge Baker advising against the council setting the precedent of designating streets upon which water mains should be laid. Protests against the passage of the "brick kiln" ordinance were referred to the committee of the whole, which meets Thursday morning. The ordinance stat ting the distance moving picture theaters shall be located from churches and schools was also referred to the com mittee of the whole. City Council Notes. A resolution rejecting bids for the gut tering and curbing of the Northwest boulevard was passed and Commissioner Hummel instructed to do the work, which will cost approximately $16,000. Corporation Counsel Baker In ft written opinion held that the Missouri Pacific has the right to lay tracks on Its right-of-way without the consent of the city, so long as traffic is not unduly interfered with. The opinion was requested when protests against a spur track at Twenty seventh and Boyd streets was received. Commissioner Withnell reported that the services of the Lincoln "water wiz ard," proffered for the sum of $1,000, were not needed, as the Water board had a "sufficient supply of water." The "wizard" proposed to locate new water sources. Bids were received for the repair of the boiler at the public library and were referred to the department of police, sani tation and public safety. W. T. Bourke, secretary of the school board, asked that $69 on building permits be remitted, but on the advice of Com missioner Withnell the request was re fused. Commissioners Ryder and Butler were appointed by Mayor Dahiman to go with the committees from several organiza tions to" protest "at Lincoln against the 11.91 per cent increase in the assessed valuation of Douglas county property. They will go to Lincoln August 13. City Clerk Flynn was authorized to ad vertise for $2,600 Insurance on the mayor's new automobile. The city comptroller was instructed to create a special fund for the city emer gency hospital, bequeathed by the late Anna Wilson, the fund to be created out of the Anna Wilson endowment. Requests of engineers for an eight-hour day, referred to Mayor Dahiman, was de nied because funds are Insufficient this year to warrant the action. The mayor suggested that the request be granted when the 1913 distribution of funds Is made. Baker is Caught Selling Short Loaves A. G. Sundgren, baker, was fined $10 and costs by Police Magistrate Foster for selling short weight bread. The de fense held that the city ordinance gov erning the weight of bread required that each single loaf weigh sixteen ounces at the time baked. They admitted the bread taken by John G. Pegg, city weight in spector, weighed but fifteen ounces. Judge Foster ruled that the ordinance meant that each loaf of bread weigh sixteen ounces at the time it was sold at the store. LEWIS GETTING VALUABLE PUBLICITY FOR HIS WORK The American Banker, In its issue of July 27. contains the following reference to an Omaha man and his work: A Chlcagoan Invented the "back-to-the-land" slogan and a supplementary one, "back-to-the-land bankers," which he Is i now energetically pushing and publishing. He is S. Anon Lewis, now of Omaha, who spent his boyhood days in Wheaton, and a grandson of Colonel C. P. J. Arlon, an early-day politician who helped Abraham Lincoln and was the originator of the Lincoln-Cameron club. Mr. Lewis Is working independently in his effort to Interest the population of the congested city districts in a "back-to-the-land" movement, and to prove to financiers the possibilities of subsidizing the project and convincing bankers of the safety in financing agricultural pursuits. He asserts that most of the so-called "land shows" are merely advertising schemes, in many instances the child of "land sharks." PLANS FOR WORKHOUSE WORKING OUT SLOWLY City Commissioners Ryder, Withnell and Kugel are back from Kansas City, where they Inspected the municipal work house there with a view of recommend ing the establishment of a similar Insl'tu tion here. Mr. Ryder said no r3.';om mcndatlon would be made In (he niar fu ture, but details of the plan .viu'.d be worked out, and when money is available such a workhoure will be built and oper ated on a self-supporting ba?is.

COAST SERVICE IS ANNOUNCED Special Through Trains Are to Be Inaugurated in September. TO BE DE LUXE IN EVERY WAY There Will Be Maids and Valets Aboard and an Excess Fare Will De Charged for These Privileges. Effective Drobablv Sunrlav. Sentember 29, two brand new passenger trains will go Into service between Chicago and San Franoisco, both running through Omaha and both over the Union Pacific from here west. One will come into Omaha over the Northwestern and the other over the Milwaukee. The two new trains between Chicago and Omaha are Intended to revolutionist passenger travel to some extent, as they will annihilate time from here west. Both will run solid between Chicago and the coast. ; The Northwestern's train will be de luxe in every sense of the word and those who ride on it will be required ,to pay an excess fare for the privilege probably $10 between Omaha and San Francisco. Its cars will be new and will be equipped with bath, library, private reading rooms, waiting rooms in charge of valets and maids. This train will take the place of the present No. 1, but will very likely be given a new name. It will arrive 'n Omaha about an hour earlier than tho present No. 1 and not very far from S o'clock in the morning. Between Chicago and Omaha there will be no excess fare charged, the excess attaching from here west. Will Miorlni Time. Between Chicago and Omaha Mt is not probable that there will be any reduction of the running time, but between Omaha and Ogden'the schedule will be shortened by clipping four hours from the running time between the two points, making it the fastest train in the west and almost as fast through Nebraska and Wyoming as the Twentieth Century limited be tween New York and Chicago. In connection with the changes in train schedules, the Milwaukee gets into the game with a solid first-class train be tween Chicago and San Francisco. This train will be on a par with that of the Northwestern-Union Pacific, with he ex ception that it will carry tourist car equipment and will not charge excess fare. Its time will bo speeded up to that of the Northwestern and may go it one better by cutting off an hour be tween Chicago and Omaha. At least it is certain that this will be done as soon as the double track Is completed across Iowa.
