Residents and business men of the west
section of South Omaha have renewed
their efforts to obtain the extension of
the West I. street, or orosstown, car Una
to a point near the west line of the city.
Recurrent agitation and urglngs on the
part of the city council have failed. Re
cently a number of business men who
are heavily Interested in that section of
the city took the matter up again. This
time figures were used and the result of
the computation was laid before Presi
dent Wattles of the street railway com
pany with the assurance that the figures
showed the best argument for an exten
sion of the car line. The section of the
city lying west of Thirty-third and L
streets has no outlet by car line except
the West Q line, which la out of the way
for the people In the West L section. It
was said yesterday by one of those In
terested 1n the extension of the street
car along Xi street to the olty line, that
there was good reason to expect that the
work will begin before the cold weather.

Following a conference of members of
Westminster and First Presbyterian
churches, held at the latter church last
night It was announced that the two
congregations were no nearer a consolida
tion and that further- plans would be
made at a meeting to be held next week
at Westminster church.
It Is understood that the F'rst church
made the advances which brought about
the conference last night at which the
possibility of a union of tho two churches,
with a downtown modern, institutional
church, was discussed.
Dr. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor of the
First church, was made chairman of the
meeting and Henry Maxwell of West
minster was chosen secretary. J. H.
Adams of the First church, opened the
discussion and following him was Judgo
Wharton. Mr. Maxwell, C. D. Wilson,
I. J. Beard and Frank Waterman of
Westminster spoke.
Wants DOTrntoirn Church.
Judge Wharton favored consolidation,
calling attention to the need of a new
building and the desirability of hav
ing a real representative Presbyterian
church in a city the size of Omaha.
There was somo objection from the
Westminster members of the conference,
who did not see the need of a union
now, although their arguments against
consolidation were answered by First
church men who said the Parkvale church
at Thirty-first and Golj streets could
care for a congregation In the residen
tial district
Another Meeting; Planned.
At the close of the conference, Dr.
Jenks said:
"While we are no nearer consolida
tion than wo were, the meeting, was
friendly and the situation was partially
cleared up. It Is posslblo we'll hold
further meetings and discuss the mat
ter in greater detail." ,
Members of the First Presbyterian
church have been considering the advis
ability of consolidation since Rev.
Thomas H. McConnell resigned as pas
tor of Westminster.
First church bought land for a new
building nt Thirty-fourth and Farnam
Btreets and Westminster has invested In
a Bite at Thirty-second and Pacific. This
move on the part of the First church

)to Omaha In the near future, as his posi

"My brother has been In poor health
for some time and of late has been suf

said Mr. Wright. "At the directors' meet
ing of the company, held recently, they
decided the position was left open for
his return and expressed a wish for him
to return.
"My brother never was a speculator on
the board and never had a deal In wheal

In good condition and his standing with
the company Is of the very best His do

of his wife nbrond Is, because of the poor
health of her father, David Cole. She
had expected to return before her parents,

But the financial situation. Involving as
It does stock market liquidation, tight
money and more than usual difficulty In
making collections, together with a per
tain degree of uncertainty regarding the
tariff matters, continues to hold up oper
ations for the far future. With all, the
trends of tho week have been rather
more encouraging than otherwise. In
tho principal western center clearance
sales of dry goods by Jobbers have been
of record proportions that Is, for .a

Stocks of various kinds were entirely

to President Wilson, sent through Consul
Miller here, to know "once fur all,"
.whether they can expect protection from
their home government stnee they "do
not desire to take measures for our own
safety which would embarrass our gov

hand."
The message ot the Americans was
transmitted by wireless through Conusl
Miller 'to W. W. Canada, the American
consul at Vera Crux, to be forwarded to
Washington. It says In part: "Having
been left without any protection whatever
'on the part ot both sides of the pending
controversy, therefore we can look for
protection from our own country. We
must know, once for all. If we, can ex
pect the same.
