COUNCIL ORDERS BRICK :, YARD ORDINANCE CHANGED Despite the advice of the city attorney to the contrary, the city commission In committee of the whole referred the ordinance permitting the establishment of brick kilns in the city limits to tha legal department with Instructions to amend so that brick yards owners would not; excavate below the established grade of the street City Attorney Bine said all' such an ordinance would do," would be to abolish the old ordinance prohibiting brick kilns within the city limits. The ordinance that "had been prepared permitted establishment of brick -yards if the chimneys were built 100 feet high. It Is probable that along with the new ordinance that will be submitted an amendment will be Introduced requiring owners of such plants to obey the smoke nuisance ordinance which provide that all business blocks or manufacturing plants that emit a "dense black smoke" shall be equipped with some consuming devices. r . . Commissioner Ryder said he had con ferred with the superintendent . of The Bee building and. had been Informed that the smoke consuming device . on that building worked jnoet satisfactorily.

The executive committee was given au thority to fill in these vacancies as. soon as It meets. , The choice of W. H. Buchols t J Omaha as treasurer of the state com mittee was unanimous. ' , The new executive committee this yesu- says that for some time messengers from those "higher up" and Irom certain police inspectors have surreptitiously vis ited Vallon and Webber in their cells and told them to tell what they pleased about Becker, but if they informed on the big fellows they might as well make away with themselves, as they would meet death later; Mr.' Sullivan' said, after see ing District Attorney Whltmahr " ' " ' "Whitman r has made" a ease"' against Becker and none of Becker's blackmailing employers seems to oare a hang about Becker's situation. In fact, they have sent word to Hose, Webber and Vallon to throw Becker to the wolves, But they are determined that their own names shall not be brought out ' Rose will make good, but Webber and Vallon have been reached and I am afraid they have made up 'their minds to weaken. I have told Vallon that he Is hot playing square and that x will not longer act as his counsel." Schepp Starts for New York.
