TlU'i Bhfci: 0MA11A, TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 11114. 12 COUNCIL HAS A HOT DEBATE Wranglei Over Whether a Dump is a Nuisance. HUMMEL UPHOLDS DIGNITY Point of Dlirnttr I Lost Butler Asks Hummel to Shnir Lees K cltrmrnt AVhllr Before the Fulfills City Commlmloncrii Jo 11. Hummel, Thomas McGovern and Dan B. Butlex wtrt mow or lens discouraged with lite Monday and at tho council meeting they rmphaslxed the Tact that they were not feeling well. Whether or not a dump oni North Twenty-second stret war or was not a nuisance started the argument. Hum met moved that the "nulaance bo abated." Jack Ityder said that was the police com missioners' business, and then a wrangle began. "I rise to a point of dignity," said Hum mel. McGovern anld something unpleasant to Hummel. 'What are you trying to do? Put sense In my head?" Hummel demanded of Mc Oovern. No, 1 wish I could," said McGovern- The point of dignity was lost and then Hummel turned on Chairman Duller of tho commltteo of tho whole and accused him of treating the commissioner with "'scant courtesy." He said that Butler had refused to put his, Hum'met's, mo tions until after they had been discussed and killed." Butler denied the- allocation nnd asked Hummel to show less excitement In pub lic. After the meeting they met and con tinued to argue the question. Tho commissioners decided to go out and see If the dump was a nuisance. Boosters' Olub of Benson to Work for the Bonds Today The Boosters' club of Benson held a spirited merlins Saturday night, with a good attendance, despite tho Inclement weather, when a general discussion of all three bond propositions to bo sub mitted to the voters today was In dulged In. It was pointed out that tho school bonds for additional school room were, absolutely necessary; that the sewer bond shouid by nil means icarry, for tho town was fast becoming hbnoycombed with cesspools and that an epidemic) might break out at any time. Benson also has an opportunity to have a pub lic park, together with a supervised play around for ita many children, and It Is the wish of all Us enterprising citizens to eo the park bonds carry. It Is tho Intention of tho Boosters' club to take over tho defunct Commercial elub of Benson, and v committee waa ap pointed to take- the matter In hand. X large del-cation of hustlers volun teered to take their overcoats off and see to It that the bonds alt carried. , , I Specifications by Butler for Funds of City Haoj?a on File Commissioner Dan B. Butler's specifica tions, requiring banks to advertise for bids for city money and changing the manner In which the money Is secured and raising the Interest on city money, was placed on file by the city council by a vote of six to one. Butler, fighting for his plan, said the council was vlolatltng the law by leaving tho handling of the money to the city treasurer. He said under the law the council must advertise for bids and de posit the money with the highest btdder. The commissioners said they were not disposed to "tangle things up by changing the system which had been followed for many year."

SHERMAN LOSES HIS TITLE TO THE WATER BOARD BOSS Take a slant at tnat. 1 wonder what President Sherman of the water board will say when he tees It." exclaimed u city hall man holding out a copy of the Popular Government league's new bulletin, in whleh It B. Howell Is labeled as president of the Omaha Water board. ' Mill, perhaps the mistake la a natural cne The uninitiated think Howell Is the whole board, so why shouldn't he be pttsldent aa well as secretary and manager?" U, P. Will Strive to Keep the Denver Gateway Closed Tho? Interstate Commerce commission has Isttueri It order opening the Denver gateway to all roads opcra'lng into the city. The order was to have become ef fective May 1, but a postponement has been granted until July I, and In tin meantime the I'nlon Pacific, he road that la the most Interested, will ask for a rehearing. Portland business men more than two years ago filed a petition with the Inter state Commerce commission asking that the Denver gateway lie opened. The Union Pacific fought the move, contend ing that It was entitled to the haul to and from Missouri river common points. With the Denver gateway opened on the castbountl freight business, If so routed, at Denver the I'nlon Pacific will turn It over to the Burlington, the Mis souri Pacific or tho Itock Island. On westbound business tho I'nlon Paelflc will tnke the freight nt Denver Instead of from Missouri river common points, as had been the custom In the past. Tinted Photos Are Printed by The Bee Staff Photographer Herman Pchonfeld, head of Tho Bee's department of photography, haa Iwscn studying the art of photographic coloring and has been successful in producing star tling life-like pictures, somo of them being eo delicately tinted that tho faintest color ings are are reproduced. Itecently Bchonfeld' spent soverol days In the cast studying this proceas of color ing photographs and he purchased nn ex pensive equipment of the latest apparatus used In this work. One of the photographs produced by this process which ha attracted n good deal of attention Is on exhibition In Schonfeld's office, 214 Beo building. It Is a picture of Lem Hill's- automobllo with two occu pants. "This process Is being used In tho commercial world, to take tho place of samples carried by traveling men nnd for many other purposes," said Bchonfcld. "It has all sorts of possibilities and may be put to uso In a variety of profitable ways." West is the Bright Spot on the XL S, Map; Genoral Traffic Manager Munroe of ih Union Pacific Is homo from an ftxtfuiflffl trip through New Kngland, and he re turns with tho feeling that tho central west Is tho ono bright business spot on tho map of tho United States. I In New Kngland, Mr. Munroe says, I that while business is not as good as It hns hern nt tlmnR In n t t vtni.. . - . . . ... a,,v "., ... ... I ft 1 1 . be worse. What has hit the pcoplo there the hardest Is tho failure of tho Boston & Maine nnd tho New York & Km Haven roads to pay the usual dividends. Alt through that section of the country people with limited means havo for years been Investing their surplus earnings nnd caah In the stock of these two roads. The dividends had come to bo looked upon as being just as sure as tho Interest on a government bond, nnd now, with the roaaa passing thoir dividends, thousands of people, many of them women, have been left without an income. All through tho east, according tn Mr Munroe, people are hopeful and nntlclpat Ing a revival of better buslncsa condltlonH aa aoon as the factories resume operat ing on full time, which they hope will be In the near future.

Bvder. head of the library board, asked the city com mission for K.WO for Improvements In the sub-station library work, and thq council postponed action on the request f6r sixty days, when "it will be known Just what condition the miscellaneous fund Is In." Chairman Dan B. Butler of the commit tee of the whole suggested that the coun cil ask for a bond Issue for completion of tho library and for such other things as may be necessary.

SAY FIFTY POUNDS IS ENOUGH Committer MnRR-mtn (hat Increase Likely Would Ittin Kxprrs Com. imnlra ont of llimlnraa Thin .Not .Wonted. Many Omaha shippers, especially prod uoe commission men, do not favor the Increase of the weight limit In tho parcel poet system from fifty pounds to 100 pounds. At a meeting of the military and postal affairs committer nt Mm onm. morclal club Monday. Trimble Bros, and omer snippers complained of the parcel post service In tho case of large parcels. They Insisted that fifty pounds is enough and that they do not believe the govern ment will glvo the best service in lorger imrcels. It was the sense of the committee that the weight limit should not be In creased to 100 pounds, ns this would likely put the express companies entirely out of business, while tho Postofflce department Is not yet equipped to give efficient Kerv Ice In larger parcels of this kind, espe dally In tho matter Of fresh produce. The committee wilt draw up n report to this effect and the Commercial club, If it ap proves the report, of the committee will likely communicate with proper author ities nt Washington with' regard to this point. It was brought out at the meeting that In the matter of tho smaller, parcels the parcel pot service Is highly wulsfactory. but that In tho very largo packages' the scrvlco Is not so satisfactory.

Howell Using Water Office to Advertise Municipal Ownership Instead of making the bookkeeping work more simple and lees expensive, tho Water board office. Is maintaining ah elnboratlve advertising system on Its monthly statement cards.

Oeneral Manager Howell of the water district la conducting a campaign for the public ownership of all public service utilities and he Is using his office as a headquarters for ndvertslng tho fact that "municipal ownership pays." One of the clerks In Mr. Howell's office said: "We are working a little harder and It takes time to do it, but we're adver tising the fact that the water plant under municipal ownership is a success."
