" The building of the tunnel through' the Sierras will not be any great distance iaver, but the saving will come' about' by reason of the climb that will be elimin ated.

Commissioner Hummel had asked for an appropriation to go to Atlantic City to attend a meeting of the American Road congress. George W. Craig, city engineer, was also made a delegate In a resolution Introduced In the city coiuicil by C. H. Withnell, commissioner of fire protection and water supply. McGovern had told the council he couldn't spare Craig, didn't have money and opposed sending delegates to a lot of meetings when all the good derived was to the health of the delegates. Why McGovern Objects. ."We haven't any money," he said, "and we need this $400. We have been send ing councllmen to conventions every year, and all they bring back Is a report which we cannot follow because we haven't any money." Mr .Hummel said as the f edei al govern ment Intended to exhibit and demonstrate at this congress he thought Omaha ought to be represented. ' Mayor Dahlman had to pound the table for order when the discussion waxed bit ter and personalities replaced arguments. Mr. Withnell consented to withdraw his resolution and Hummel says he will introduce another delegating himself to go alone. Frequent clashes occurred In the city council in the last few weeks over the assumption of authority by one com missioner to dictate to another what shull be done in the latter's department. Commissioner Butler says this is In violation of the spirit of the commission law and stood by McGovern in demand ing the withdrawal of Wlthnell's resolution.

Free Thinkers in Annual Convention Wife's Actions Make PhillipsTry Death After having forgiven his wife on several occasions for alleged unwomanly actions, Omer Phillips, a blacksmith liv ing In Beatrice, followed her to Omaha Sunday afternoon when she ran away from him and her 6-year-old son again, and was arrested upon the woman's com plaint, as a suspicious character. He was lodged In jail, but in some manner a small vial of carbolic acid was overlooked by the prison officials when he was searched. Last night he attempted to commit suicide by drinking It. Police Matron Gibbons was talking to him at the time and her presence of mind and ability to hold his attention while the roison was taken from him saved his life..

ATLANTIC FLEET IS TO VISIT THE PANAMA CANAL George Von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, has planned the .winter cruise of the Atlantio fleet to Include a trip to Colon, Panama, In order that the crews of the vessels of the fleet may have an opportunity of inspecting the rreatest construction of modern times. A trip to the big canal and across the Isthmus to the Pacific ocean during the period of construction will be of such great interest to the enlisted force of the navy that Secretary Meyer has deter mined to reserve the necessary time from the winter maneuvers In the Caribbean to enable the sailormen to make this trip before the work has advanced to com pletion. . It Is probable that special trains will be provided by the authorities of-the isth mus to transport the men to all points of Interest along the route of the canal. "Can Police Commissioner Ryder pro hlbit peddlers crying their wares on the streets!" asks City Commissioner Dan Butler. City Attorney Rlne is looking up the question, but in the meantime Is of the opinion that the police commissioner can prohibit nearly anything on the streets. 'Peddlers say they are being persecuted and have submitted a lengthy communl cation to the council pleading for less stringent regulation. Butler says -Ryder's order to the police department to arrest peddlers who cry their wares In loud and strident voice Is very unfair. , He asks the legal department for an opinion. Mr. Rlne fays if there is an ordinance against the thing Rider's po sition Is clear and he has full power and authority. Attornr'a Opinion. "There Is some doubt as to whether he can do it unless these men are a publlo nuisance," says the city attorney. First Assistant City Attorney Lambert declares that peddlers arrested for vlo' latlng the police commissioner's ruling will have to stand on the merits of each Individual case. Peddlers affirm that since the sudden death of the weights and measures ordi nance they have been worried to death. Butler Is championing their cause before the city council. An organization of grocers circulated petitions to bring that weight ordinance to a referendum vote, but the petitions have never been filed and as the fifteen days since the passage of the ordinance have elapsed a referendum cannot now be called, ' ' LOOK FOR THE PATCHES ' (0N STREET CAR STRAPS "If the street railway company does not Increase its profits this year It will not be for want of practicing economy," remarked a paneuge on the car.
