Identified.
The wreck of the Tltanlo has gone
down Into history as one of the greatest
of the marine' disasters. An investiga
tion conducted by the British Board of
Tfadt and the) United States senate com
mlttee reported findings and showed that
the speed of the Tltanlo at the time when
It struck the .berg was not Justified, and
also that the ship did not carry a suffi

the site Of Its passenger list.
UNION PACIFIC PLANS
TO BEAUTIFY RIGHT-OF-WAY
The 400 feet of right-of-way acquired
by the Union Paclflo under the court de
cision and extending across Nebraika,
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah la not
going to be allowed to grow up to weeds,
but Instead will be made a sort of a
rarden.
By the court decision the Union raciflc
becomes the owner of a strip of land
BOO feet wide on either side of the track
and across the states named. Heretofore
much of this land had been occupied and
cultivated by farmers owning the td
lotnlng property, they contending that It
belonged to them. Under the terms of
the decision It becomes the absolute prop
erty of the Union Pacific. In many in
rtanoe the strip will be leased to ad

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.
"We say this was only for protection
and control of the business, as is also
the royalty collected from the business
of the company in selling electricity for
ower and heat"

SOCIETY 1b all agog Sarah Bernhardt, said to bo tho greatest living
actress, Is In our midst for nearly a week. French grammars have
have been dusted and reviewed, for Is not French tho original lan
guage of tho court, and when wo go to hear the great diva wo wjsh
to bo able to discuss tho play eloquently aftorwards.
It was my good pleasure to cross on the samo ocean liner with tho
great French actress, but we scarcely got as close to her as will those In
the first row at tho Orphoum. Members of her company and her physi
cian also, Informod us that many yearn ago she mingled with the passen
gers, but of lato she remains In hor cabin do luxo tho entire voyage.
To start with, tho steamer was two hours lato In leaving.
This is a most unusual thing, but the loading of 200 extra trunks takes
tlmo, for Madame played In tho mctroplls tho night before sailing, and
her luggage could not bo sent to tho pier any sooner. 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. .
Hor Bon, Maurice Bernhardt, met her at Cherbourg, to accompany hor
to Paris. An ontortalnmont was glvon on board tho steamer for the benefit
of the sailors, widows and orphans. On the program were Slgnor Scott),
olgnora Pol Plancon, Suzanne Adams, Davlr Blspham and others. Madamo
Bernhardt and the othor artists on board autographed ten programs,
which sold for $100 apiece for the benefit. Madamo Bernhardt gives

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."

I was complimenting one of tho neighbors this
morning on how fine her house looked with all tho
nico new furniture sho had, and told her it was a

think she told mo?
"It's not that, Mrs. Jones, Mr- r Is not making; any more
than he waB when we moved here. X have gotten all those new
thlnga myself by dealing with Larkln Co. For nearly three
years, I have bought my tea, soaps, spices, foodstuff, notions, and

buy from Iarkln Co. you get Products that are perfectly fresh
and Premiums with them without extra cost. You can see what
I have obUlnod already. Now, Isn't that a sensible way to
deal?"
When Mrs. K went, 1 sat right down at my desk and wrote
a postal to Larkln Co., Peoria, 111., and asked them for their
