Osborne, negro citizens, the city council voted to urge the management of Brandela thea ter to eliminate from "The Birth of a Nation" the scene wherein the negro ser vant, "Gus," pursues Flora Cameron to her death at the bottom of a cliff. The action of the officials became of regard In the form of a resolution of fered by Commissioner Jaraine who ex plained he witnessed these motion pic tures and his view of the scene in ques tion coincided with, those of photestanta. "I think there might be no objection to the first part of the scene, showing the girl running away from the spring when she sees the negro, but I believe the subsequent chaee and death could be eliminated, without detracting from the general excellence of the pictures," stated Commissioner Jardine. Mr. Pegg said he visited the theater and observed expressions of aroused feel ings during the presentation of this ob jectionable scene. He added that thla particular scene had been eliminated In most cities where "The Birth of a Na tion" had been presented. The mayor explained there is no ordi nance I" force at this time covering a situation of this character. An ordinance Is pending. CONNELL DEFENDS HIS QUARANTINE Says Everything Posiibls it Being- Done to Prevent Spread of Contagion. HAS INSPECTOR TO WATCH Health Commissioner Connell con tends there is no foundation to state ments which have been made that Information regarding diphtheria and scarlet fever cases In Central Park, and Monmouth Park districts have been neglected by his office. He asks for specific Information on the subject Inspector Jensen, he says, has been detailed to watch the north west part of the city and arrest any persons breaking quarantine. Dr. Connell states that during the last two weeks only three eases of scarlet fever have been reported to his office and no cases of positive diphtheria re ported during the same period from the districts mentioned. Dr. Connell Makes Statement. The health commissioner dictated this public statement: ' The charge is unjust and uncalled for and Is wholly without facts. It Is true there were some cases of scarlet fever In the northwest part of the city and through my endeavors the Board of Edu cation engaged two nurses who form a nucleus for larger activities along this line. These nurses discovered a case of scarlet fever at Central Park school and another at Lothrop school a few weeks ago. It Is reasonable to assume that those casos spread more or less contagion. "As for conditions at Central Park dis trict, I want to state here has not been an Instance of a contagious disease or even suspected case reported to this of fice that has not been attended to within a fow hours by myvlf or assistant. If anybody has evidence to the contrary I want to hear from that person. Ilea Man to Make Roindi. "t presume there are some cases now under quarantine and In some Instanoes the quarantine regulations may not have been obeyed strictly. I have a man who goes the rounds, but I cannot place a policeman at every house under quaran tine. "I have been criticised because I have Insisted upon proper observance of quar antine and vaccination regulations, but this Is the first time I have been oen sured for falling to be striot In tho en forcement of rules and regulations to prevent spread of contagious diseases." U 5. Commerce Expert Urges Ncbraskans to Study Spanish "Learn more Fpenlsh, study Spanish, put courses of Spanish tn your schools." that Is the advice given Nebraska and Omaha, by Stanley H. Rose, special stent of the Buerau of Foreign and Do meetlo Commerce, who arrived in Omaha today. 'Herman and French are all right In the schools for educational and cultural purposes; but get at It and learn the commercial languages. "Here we are with twenty republics south of us In this hemisphere. Klgh teen of theni speak Spanish. One speaks Portugese, and the republic of Haytt speaks French. Why should we then not learn Spanish, next to Bngllsh? "For the very reason that we have neg lected the study of Spanish we are not at all ready to build up the trade with South America that we should. We haven't nearly men enough to go Into South America and speak the language well enough to carry on commerce on any large scale." Mr. Rose says while South America Is a good field that American manufac turers should look to for an outlet for their goods. It Is In his opinion not so good for Immediate market as New Zea land, Australia and China. "South Amer ica will be very good, too, for the future, but I believe the best Immediate pros pect now Is China, Australia and New Zealand," he said. "South America is not so well fixed financially just now as to be able to do as much buying as we should like." Mr. Rose came to Omaha from Lincoln, where he has just been attending the meeting of the Nebraska Manufacturers' association. He Is on a junket now, traveling over a large part of the United States, meeting manufacturers personally and giving them Information gathered by the government of interest to their par ticular line of manufacture. He has just been visiting manufacturers tn New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and other states, and Is now on his return trip to Washington, after which he starts immediately for a long trip throughout the southern states. He Is to speak Friday noon to the Omaha Manufacturers' association at a meeting at the Commercial club rooms. He ts meeting manufacturers personally and talking over their business with them. He has with him a trunk full of Information regarding markets of the world for goods of various lines. He has i V. Judge fyiles War Widow Cannot Get Mother's Pension The petition of Mrs. Louise Saco and her three small children, left destitute since Joe Saco, the husband and father, was called to the colors by Italy, for a pension for their support, was rejected by District Judge Leslie On the ground that they are not cltlsens of the United Statu. , The Italian government will be asked by J. M. Leidy, administrator of county charities, to support the family. The county has been providing for the mother and children through the ordinary chan nels of relief and will continue to do so until other aid Is secured. Mothers' pensions will not be awarded In Juvenile court for the benefit of sol diers fighting in the European war, ac cording to tho precedent established by Judge Leslie's ruling. i"- . - ''JJ- V STANLEY H.

Mr. Anna waa areatlv Interested In what little haa thus far been done toward es tablishing river navigation on a section of the Missouri river out of Omaha. He said, too, that Omnha and Nebraska oc cupy a peculiar position In the matter of commerce, being so far from the sea board, "but." he anld, "they have done wonders In a short time and I see that this Is a wonderful state and Omaha a wonderful city with a great future. I can see It no other way." Democrats Try to Agree On Dr. Hall In an effort to save some state office for a democrat In the election next fall, leaders of the party are trying to agree on Dr. P. L. Hall of Lincoln as a com promise candidate for governor. "We don't believe Morehead can make It again," one leading democrat said, "and we have about agreed on Dr. Hall" as a man that could draw the votes from the various factions of the party." The movement for Dr. Hall comes largely from the antl--Bryan faction, al though Dr. Hall Is a Bryan man and was a pro-Bryan and pro-Wilson national committeeman from Nebraska. Nevertheless so desperate do the demo crats consider their chances for success in 1910 that they are ready to agree to any kind of a compromise that would ueom to promise a sliver of hope to cling to in the whirlpool.

Street Cars Bump Each Other on North Twenty-Fourth St. Two street cars on Twenty-fourth street, near Michigan avenue, scraped as they passed each other, wHh the re sult that the sides were torn from the cars and several passengers were slightly Injured by broken glass. The condition of the paving of Twenty fourth street has been a source of an noyance to the city commissioners as well as the street railway oompany for some time. The pavement has been or dered relald and it Is probably due to the bad condition of the track that the ac cident happened. The conductor of the south-bound car reported that but one person was hurt by the broken glass. Florence Laborer Diesin City Cell Thomas Clark, laborer of Florence, was found dead in a cell at the police station early Thursday morning by the turnkey.
