GENOA, , roc IX iSpeclal Cublsgrara
to New Turk World and Omaha Dee.) A
commlntilon repreeistatlv of tha govern
ment of MonUinegro called on tha repre
sentatives of the United Mates ChrlHtmaa
nhlp, Jason, today, to express gratitude tu
the American children for remembering
the children of Montenegro, whose fathers
hav died in battle. The committee uid
that In thus making Its acknowledgments
H was dlnchat'Hlnir a nioet pleasant duty.
Tha consignment of Christina precent
collected by newspaper (n the United
States for the llttlo Montenegrins will be
ohlpped from here ta Hurl, Italy, and
thenr across the Adrlatio to Ccttinje,
the capital ot Monlengro, and the icmmls
slon gave ltd assurance of a rareful and
proper distribution ot the sifts.
' Tha Italian government ha been most
sympathetic and courteous toward tha
Jason and Its mission and has gone to con
siderable expense to further the project.
A big pier was provided free of charge
for the reception of the Jason's cargo, as
were also the necessary lighters and the
labor for unloading the gifts, tha wagons
to convey th gooils to the freight depota
and the railroad transportation to convey
the Auxtro-Uerman gli'ti to the Aus
trian frontier and for the transportation
of the Slontenegrln boxes to Barl.
The Jason will leavi next, week for
Salonika, where the Greek government
has given assurance to Lieutenant Com
mander Courtney, the transportation oC
the gl'ta for the Servian children will be
promptly facilitated through Oreek terrl-
tory.
In answer to the recent renolMtlon of
the city commissioners, declaring tht
the electric light rompnny has no licenne
to extenl It electric heat and power
lir.rs, thet corporation hefl aer.-ured a
temporary restraining order in federal
court. The or'lcr. elj;red by Judge Page
Morris and effective until -the further
order of the court. reNtrnlns the city from
enforcing, attempting to enforce or tak
ing any action . under the resolution
passed by city commission December 8.
tV. p. McHupti, attorney for the light
company, has filed a supplemental bill
of complaint to the original suit, brought
In lffl by the Omaha Klntrlc Mght and
Power pnmpany against the city of
Omaha and the city electrician. Judge
Mcliugh also submitted a temporary re
straining or.lor In blank, aadeslrcd by
his company, which Judjre Morris signed,
without setting any certain day for hear
ing the arguments for nnd against mak
ing the order permanent. .
The resolution of the city commission,
to which objection I now mado by the
