BAKER AND LAMBERT RETURN FROM WASHINGTON City Corporation Counsel Baker and Assistant City Attorney Lambert have returned trom Washington, where they argued the case of the electric light com pany against the city, In which the com pany franchise to sell electricity for power purposes is In question. The city council passed an ordinance Instructing the city electrician to cut the power fuf tlshlng wires of the company. ' We cannot foresee what the decision will be," said Judge Baker, "because the courts seems to be at stxes and sevens. There Is on weak point In the city's easeIt appears that permits to sell power have been granted by the city, tnd that the city Itself has been using the electricity for power purposes. The elevators In the city hall ore an example.

To start with, tho steamer was two hours lato In leaving.

When it comes to spending money, tho Divine Sarah can teach oven tho New York mil lionaires, for tho Qoulds, who woro also on board, traveled very sim ply In comparison. In the first placo, sho paid over $1,000 for tho cap tain's sulto of rooms for a flvo and one-half days' trip; then oho had a doctor, a valet, thrco maids, and throe thoroughbred doge, and all were traveling first-class. .

Eyder Says Six Men to Guard City Days and Nights Too Many Police Commissioner Ryder, believing policemen are an avoidable nuisance, ap proves Prof. Henry Oelrlch'a plan to out the force of Omaha to six men on duty days and six on duty nights. But the police commissioner would still further reduce tho force. He believes that five coppers and the social service board ought to be able to handle the criminal element of the city and protect the lives and property of tho people. Even five men are too many," said the commissioner solemnly, "unless, of course, arrangements were made to have them sweep and mop the city hall occx nlonally. That would keep them em ployed during their Idle moments. Any thing else to keep them busy would be proper. "Idleness Is a dangerous thing. Six coppers with nothing to do hut patrol the twenty-four square miles of this city for twelve hours would greatly suffer from Inactivity. "They would set a bad example to the young, who would acquire false Impul sions by seeing them loafing around all day In the corner drug store. Abolish the club and gun, too. On a lonely, urk night, when a policeman was slowly patrolling his boat of five miles or moru his club and gun would be burdensome. If he were attacked by several thugs, all he'd have to do would be to politely request the thugs to wait a minute and then he could telephone the members of the social service board, who could, by hurrying, reach the scene within half Att hour or more and take necessary titeps to protect the policeman. The capper would appreciate this. "In case a man was murderej or a house robbed by some careless genUemm or gang of gnmlomen the clubljb3 cop would probably have to call on the con stables for help. If the cop should In terfere with the operations of the gang and should be killed the constable could be awakened and nn automobile sum moned and the remainder of the r.ight would be spent In rounding up the other four policemen, so that within from twelve to twenty-four hours they would all be on the scene ready for prompt action."
