MORE BIG EATS PROPOSED Judges of District Court Take Look Through the County Jail. SOME SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE Three Menln Per Dny for Prisoners, with Krnlt nnd Ice Crrnm cca dlonnlly, Dcslsrnnted na n flood Thin a-. After visiting the county Jail at meal time yesterday, four Judges of the district court Informed tho county commission ers that the prisoners nr not getting enough to eat. They said the prisoners should bo fed three times a day. The commissioners n greed with them. The Judges sold they will exercise their authority to make rules governing the Jail and ordered that three meals a day bb served. Tho commissioners said they believed tho Judges were right and an nounced that they will reject flll bids for the prisoners' feeding contract and coll for new bids. Tho bids now on hand call for two meals a day; the specifica tions upon which new bids will be called for will requtro three. In arguing three meals a day the Judges mentioned that the prisoners do not eat all tho foods given them at 1:30 o'clock In the afternoon, but keep somo for even ing consumption, Judge Kennedy said eighteen hours Is too long for the men to go without food. Rolls and milk, If nothing else, should be given In the evcnlnfg. Judge Day said tho men seemed to have good food nnd enough of It for the 1:30 meal, though perahps thero was too much bono In somo of the meat. He added that a good many of the prisoners seemed to want tobacco more than any thing else. Fruit Is Nnirirenteil. Judges Abraham L. Sutton, George A. Day, Howard Kennedy and Charles Les lie are those who visited the Jail. Tho Jail situation was generally dis cussed. Jnll management and prisoner feeding In other cities was referred to. It wns agreed that tho county itself should feed tho prisoners. Instead ot having them fed under contract. No topic except that of three meals a day was discussed thoroughly, but the follow ing matters wero mentioned: In tho county Jail at Minneapolis meat Is given the prlsonors but twice a week. This improves Jail life. Prisoners should be given their choice of common beverages with their meals. Tea Is a stimulant! milk Is a feed; but too much milk Is not good for one who exercises little. It would bo a good thing for the pris oners If they could havo bananas or somo other kind of fruit once or twice a week. Ice cream and cake occasionally would be good for tha' prisoners. Thft blankets of tho prisoners' bunks may not bo sufficient to keep some of the men warm. There should be mat tresses, but vermin and roaches cannot be kept out unless the mattresses are of leather and then thy can't be kept out. Tho prisoners should work. Tho county might employ them In a county brick yard making brick for country roads. The contract prison labor scheme Is nn abomination. Indian Councilors Removed by Fisher; Result of Oil Deal WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Seven mem bers of the Osage Indian tribal council were removed from office today by Secre tary of Interior Fisher, who alleges in a statement thut the council was Influenced by the Undo Sam OH company and threa Individual applicants who had tried to secure tho lease of SO0.O0O acres of oil and gns land, comprising the entire unteused portion of the Osage reservation. The secretary ordered a new council elected the latter part of this month. The Department of Justice has been In formed by the secrotary of tho conduct of cortaln persons In connection with tha obtaining of these leased from the Indian council and has been asked to take such action as the facts warrant. The Indian council, three ot whose mem bers were ordered out somo time ago, re fused to obey Secretary Fisher's order In regard to filling the vacancies, and this was anothor cause which led to today's action by the secretary. The recent bid for 41,000' acres of Osage oil lands, said to have been the most favorable bid ever made for lease of In dian lands, was turned down by tho tribal council and the Influence ot the previous applicants Is alleged by the secretary tu have been responsible. It would have given the Indians for their oU land a royalty X per cent higher than any pre viously paid and In add'tlon a cash bonus of 1M,000. Last June the secretary declined to ap prove the leases of tho Uncle Sam OU company and the three Individuals who were seeking the 00,000 "es.

Morton Elected President of Organization. KIMBALL REPORTS BY-LAWS Omaha Still Vonna- Hnouifli to Grow lulu Fine, tircat City If Efforts Arc Properly Directed To. rvurd Improvement. A permanent organization to be known as the Omaha Civic league was effected at a meeting of representatives of Im provement clubs at the city hall last night, n constitution adopted and officers and a board of directors elected with In structions to begin at once a vigorous campaign for membership. Only mem bers ot nonpartisan, nonsectarlan or ganizations may join this club and each organization Bha'.t ne represented by three delegates. About thirty delegates were at the city hall to perfect the organization last night. The following officers were elected by acclamation unanimously: Oeorge T. Morton, president; T. R. Kimb.ill, vice president; Henry Doorly, secretary, and R. C. Potera. treasurer. The directors were nominated by a com mittee of tlireu consisting of Mr. Morton, Carl C, 'Wilson and V. A. De Bord and of Uiese flvo were elected to office to serve with the four officers, composing a board of nine directors. Tho five directors elected were: W. A. De Bord, Fred Paf fenrath, C. A. Alden. J. M. Guild and Oeorge W. Craig. Mr. Kimball reported for the committee ot five appointed to draft the constitution. He read a letter from George E. Kessler of St Ixul extending the Oroahans best wishes In their attempt and giving them advice. When the constitution was read there was some objection on the ground that the men who bad formed the organization would not be members until they had offered tho proper credentials. VT, II. Green nnd Attorney Fitch led tho Pro testants, but before the arguments were over the objectors were convinced that all was for tho best and voted for the adoption of the committee's report. "It is a mistaken Idea that the city planning movement Is a move for what Is called a city beautiful." aM Mr. Kim ball, presenting the report ot the commit tee on permanent organization.

Omaha is still young enough to grow Into a fine, great city if the path Is properly blazed and It Is forced to follow It "Tho Idea that beauty necessarily means costly embellishment or decoration Is a widespread mistake. Beauty Is simply the certain result of using practical com mon senso; you don't have to buy It It follows In the wake of the practical things City Engineer Craig talked for at last Friday's meeting. An economically operated, scrupulously clean, orderly, sweet smelling, well drained and well built city can't help being a beautiful city too. On the other hand, you can't mako the city that neglects these things beauti ful In any sense. Ilmr to Accompli alt Ilcanlt. "Tho question Is what is to be done and how? "Wo must realize that we don't know much about It, and must learn. Our bad smells, dirty streets, smoke, etc, etc, prove this. "Our first effort must be made to get light on the subject, to look Into what others hnve done nnd aro doing, and get our curiosity aroused as to what It all means. We must start everybody thinking nnd talking about it. Every or ganization here represented should stir Itself up to getting some lecturer to tell us what he knows. "Any Intelligent talk on the subject by anyone is bound to help. Wo hope that our newspapers will give generously of their space to those who wish to write on tho subject, and that our own citizens will read up and then use the newspaper to spread about and exchange what they learn. "Let us get away from the Idea that It means the spending of a great sum. I venture to say that beforo any con siderable amount of money Is wanted everybody will be falling over themselves to provide It. "Just think If Parts had taken the op portunity that Omaha has now, a few thousands of dollars would have saved over $1,000,000,000 that finally had to go. Omaha has one great asset, and that Is this opportunity to Invest a trifle in art ounce ot prevention Instead of a fortune In a pound of cure."
