Rome Miller Finds Eastern Hotel
Men Contrary to His Campaign.
MAKING STEADY PROGRESS
In Spite of Opposition from Mans
the Crusade la Gathering Im
petus nml More Are I'nll
Insjr In Utie Kverr Day.
Rome Miller, who has been maklnK
rrrat strides toward the elimination oi
the old-fashioned flnccr bowl In cafe;
and dlnln? cars. Is having troubles these
days with the eastern hotel managers
who are unwilling to abandon tho -lime-honored
custom, principally because II
was suggested by Mr. Miller, who la a
western man. The east always has been
backward about accepting western Ideas
until the west has so educated the public
tbat It was Impossible to forego the
change any longer. Such Is the case with
Mr. Miller and his finger bowl crusade,
but Mr. Miller rather cherishes tho east
ern opposition and Is becoming more en
thusiastic as a result.
Several hotel men of the larger cities,
who first advocated the elimination of the
finger bow'l, have recently manifested
what Mr. Mll'or calls a "yellow streak"
and have changed their minds about the
sanitation of the finger bowl. Most of the
big hotels have In their stock a large
number of Imported brass finger bowls
and they are unwilling to spend the
money to secure sanitary bowls, that
could be destroyed after use or they are
unwilling to destroy the brass bowls be
cause they are ornamental nnd convey
an Impression of cxcollent cuisine.
Mr. Miller 1b not advocutlng the entire
elimination of the finger bowl, but he
docs not jvlsh the Indiscriminate and
promiscuous use of tho bowl. At hit
Omaha hotels he merely serves flngei
bowls with fru.lt and upon request. Until
paper manufacturers can design a sani
tary bowl that may be destroyed aftet
use and also be set In some kind of nn
ornamental silver holder that would ndd
attractiveness to the table. Mr. Miller
believes It expedient to only furnish the
ordinary finger bowls when requested.
Westerner Adopt IMnn.
Many of the hotels in the west have
adopted Mr, Miller's policy of serving
finger bowls only on request, while two
great railroad systems, the New York
Central lines and the Northern Pacific
have adopted the same policy in their
'dining-cars and at the company hotels.
Mr. Miller spends a lot of his time cor
responding with, hotel managers all over
the country in his crusade against the
finger bowl. He has succeeded In secur
ing editorials in nearly alt the hotel
magaxlnes with regard to it and ho has
secured the consent of Elbert Hubbard to
make some comment In hla magazine.
The campaign Is attracting Interest be
cause all the hotels in the middle west
are favorable to tho movement- and H
Is only a question of time before eastern
hotels will adopt sanitary finger bowls.
The campaign has been in effect but little
over a month and already Mr. Miller has
received hundreds of communications ex
tolling his campaign and stepping In line.
Mr. Miller expects that as soon as the
public realizes that finger bowls are
conducive to disease germs the hotels
and cafes -will be demanded to Install
sanitary finger bowls, and that Is what
his object is In the end.

Dietz Tires Out at
; Secret Session of
the Water Board
, Gould pfetz of the Commercial club en
dured ''his first agony at the hands ot
the Board of Directors of the Metropoli
tan Water District Monday afternoon.
Dietz called to confer with the board.
He understood the board met at 4
o'clock. The board did meet then, but
"recessed" and at 6.15 Dietz was called
Into the secret session. He came out
and the secret session continued.
Dietz said he believed a member of the
Commercial club ought to hanc around
to watch tho work of the Water board.
He strongly criticised the business of
holding secret sessions every meeting.
He said It would not only bo a wise
thing for a member of the 1 Commercial
club to attend Water board meet In r
but also sessions of the 'city, commission
and the Board of Education.
Water Commissioner It. B. Howell re
ported to the Water board the completion
or thirty-six of the forty-two watei
mains the board undertook to do, receiv
ing no bids from contractors. Howell
was authorized to draw up a contract
for the new Walnut Hill reservoir, which
will be let at the next meeting of th
board.
Cold Water Dampens
Ardor of a Bunch of
Young Noise Makers
Residents In the neighborhood of
Twenty-seventh and Capitol avenue were
rudely awakened Monday evening, ns
the result of a boyish prank. Whtlo
blissfully dreaming that the team they
had bet on, either Giants or Athletics,
had won the world's series, they were
roughly awakened by loud cries, In ap
proved metropolitan newsboy stylo of,
"Extra paper! Big Indian reservation
on the warpath! Many poople mas
sacred!"
Sleep became Impossible as the cries
continued for the better part ot half
an hour, growing continually louder and
the wearied ones, gathering courage In
the strength of their pajamas and bath
rotes, hied themselves to their front doors
and peered out. Intending to .quiet tlw
disturbance without, In addition to sat
Ing their curtostties as to what village
was then being scalped.
Under a lamp post on a corner was a
little band of urchins in complete In

Intent on raising the dead or ascertaining
the reason way. That they were well
nigh succeeding will be attested to by
all the residents within a radius of sev
eral blocks of that corner.
All attempts to quiet tho effervescent
jubilation were unavailing until an in
gcnlous person living In a corner houso
turned a hose on the lads, which served
to efficiently dampen their ardor. All
those within hearing of tho turmoil were
yesterday excusing themselves for their
grouchy appearance.
Whether or not a bill rendered by Tho
Bee Publishing company to tho city for
publishing the gas franchise ordinance
should be paid at the statute rate or the
contract rate as the official paper of
tho city is a question the city commis
sioners have referred to the city legal
department for settlement.
Tho city comptroller cut the bill down
from the legal rate to the official con
tract rate upon the supposition that tho
election was a city election. Tho Bee
ubllshing company has notified the
commission that the election advertise
ment was ordered by the election com
missioner and docs 'not come under the
official contract.

tour through Minnesota nnd Iowa, he
came down over tho Sioux City line, and
speaking of crop conditions, said:
"Through Minnesota, the northern por

Immense crops of small grain and .their
corn Is going to bo up to the normal. I
noted that in the sections visited farmers
are buying many feeding cattle, nnd this
winter they will turn off more beef cattle
than ever before. Tho high prices farm

Dr. R. W. Connell, city health com

missioner of finances nnd accounts, are
Issuing conflicting statements regarding

Is pure tomfoolery to inutile, dogi.
"I have been always opposed to muz

Dr. Connoll sold:
"Dr. C. l Hall finds that there Is an

of grave danger. I will seek to have
