Justice Kubat Meets Negro
Friend of Many Years Ago
C. H. Kubat, justice of the peace, at
the close of a session of his court,
made this announcement:
"One block over to the right to the
Grand hotel; the best hotel in town."
The words were meaningless except
to a venerable negro who sat in a
corner of the court room. The ne
gro was John B. Showers, 86 years
of age.
Showers' face beamed with enthu
siasm when he ha I time to allow his
memory to respond to the words of
' the justice.
"Ah surely knows dat you hab been
in Cedar Rapids, foh dere it was moah
dan thirty years ago ah said dem
very words:
"'One block over to the right to
the Grand hotel; the best hotel in
town.' "
The justice and the negro compared
notes and renewed old acquaintance at
Cedar Rapids, la., where both lived
many years ago. Mr. Kubat had not
seen Showers for thirty years. Show
ers settled in the Iowa town fifty
years ago and was a well-known char
acter. The negro was in the justice court
as plaintiff in a suit wherein he was
allowed $6 on a claim for wages. He
was represented by Attorney McGuire
of the legal aid department of the
Welfare board.
Porter Shot Through Breast
Is Held to District Court
Glenn Grove, the 21-year-old por
ter at the ller-Grand hotel barber
shop who was shot through the right
breast last Friday evening by Police
Officer Joe Baughman, who says
Grover was trying to hold him up at
the point of a revolver, had his pre
liminary hearing in police court and
was bound over to the district court
under a $1,000 bond on the charge of
assault with intent to rob.
In the police court were Clarence
Grove, a brother, and Robert Grove,
his father from Evansville, Kan.,
where, he is one of the big potato
growers of the state. The father
says that the boy could have had no
necessity for robbing anyone, as he
had repeatedly offered to send him
money if he ran short, and another
brother in the city would have .been
glad to- have loaned Glenn money
had he been in need. The elder
Grove said he would arrange for
bond this afternoon".
Greeks Say Their Club
Nonpartisan in Politics
The Demothenes club, a local or
ganization of Greeks, are anxious to
make it known that their body has
no affiliation with the recently formed
partisan Greek political club, whose
announcement of organization was
published several days ago. The presi
dent of the Demothenes club says,
"Our number is made up of the lead
ing Greeks of the community, who, so
far, have not become thoroughly ac
quainted with either party and will
therefor vote nonpartisan. We of this
club are for the best interests of the
state and community and are not
bound to any clique or set in the po
litical field."

CITY BUMPS INTO
LIGHT1X AGAIN
Council Grants Company Per
mit to Lay Conduit After
Work is Already Started.
PREPARES NEW ORDINANCE
The city commissioners find the
electric light situation a hard problem
to solve. The latest phase of the
question refers to conduits. Among
the pending features are: A suit re
lating to franchise rights to distribute
current for light and power purposes,
municipal plant and improvement of
street lighting.
The Omaha Electric Light and
Power company fs just now laying a
conduit along the curb on the south
side of Farnam street, Twentieth to
Twenty-fourth streets, preliminary to
repaving. At an executive session of
the council, the commissioners de
cided to grant the company a permit,
although it is said the work was
started before a permit was asked. It
is understood this new conduit exten
sion is for, the particular use of the
proposed new ornamental lighting
system along Farnam street.
Reserve Space for City.
Commissioner Butler stated he will
on Thursday morning offer a resolu
tion to require that space be reserved
for the use of the city in all conduits
hereafter laid.
On March 8. 1902, the city council
passed an ordinance requiring that on
and after 'October 1, 1905, electric
current wires would be required to be
placed in conduits within the follow
ing district: Eighth street,-Capitol
avenue to Leavenworth; west to
Thirteenth, thence south to Jackson,
west on Jackson to Eighteenth and
north on Eighteenth to Capitol ave
nue. That ordinance was not modi
fied. The light company, however,
has gone beyond those limits of its
own volition and recently made an
extension on West Leavenworth
street.
Prepares New Ordinance.
Corporation Counsel Lambert has
prepared for introduction Thursday
morning an ordinance which provides
that the city may issue permits tor
conduits for distribution of electric
current in any district or districts be
yond the limits defined in the old or
dinance. Under the proposed new
ordinance the city reserves the right
to revoke the permits at any time and
reserves the right to use any portion
of the streets for drains, pipes, sewers,
conduits or subways. Provision also
is made that the city shall have charge
of restoration of the surface of streets
into which conduits may be laid. One
clause stipulates that these permits
for conduits shall in no way effect
franchises or franchise rights.
Another provision is that these con
duit permits may be issued only to
companies already holding a lawful
right to operate.
Gasoline Prices ,
May Take Drop Here
Following the announcement of a
raise in ice cream comes the com
pensatory news that gasoline has
gone down in Chicago and Iowa.
The price of gasoline in Chicago
has been reduced 1 cent a gallon to
dealers, the price being 7l2 cents.
Manaeer Richardson of the Stand
ard Oil company here declared he
had not yet received the news and
was unable to state when the price
would be reduced in Omaha.
The manager 6f another large local
gasoline concern made this state
ment: "I expect gasoline will drop
I cent a gallon in Omaha on Thurs
day, or during the last of the week."
Babies Grow Fat
On Milk Bought by
The Bee's Fund
An 11-monht-old infant at Thirty
second and Burt streets increased in
weight from nine and one-half
pounds to sixteen pounds since the
establishment of the Visiting Nurse
association baby stations and the milk
and ice fund of The Bee at the be
ginning of the summer.
The mother is Mrs. Mary Wittuski,
living at 3201 Burt street.
Report of this case was made at a
meeting of the association in the city
hall. The weights given are exact
and show the possibdities of proper
care of babies in the summer time.
The mother of the infant had neaily
given up in despair when a nurse vis
ited the home and drew upon The
Bee's fund. The nurse also gave di
rections for bathing, clothing and
feeding. The child is getting along
splendidly and is in the best of health
at this time.
The baby stations have cared for
121 infants this season.
"You cannot estimate the amount
of good that has been done this sum
mer through the milk and ice fund.
It cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents." said a nurse at the Visiting
Nurse association's headquarters.
The association attended forty-one
maternity cases during the month
ending August IS.

STRIKE TALK CUTS
DOWN THE TRAVEL
Passenger Agents Are Busy
Answering Questions But
Autoist Rolls Along.
VACATIONISTS HURR I HOME
The railroad strike situation is al
ready exerting iu influence upon pas
sengcr traffic, local lii'tct agents
aver.
While city folks like to lie far. far
from the maddening crowd when
they know that they can scurry back
to the apartment house zone in I
night or so, it's a much different mat
ter in the light of a possible tie-up of
the country's transportation facilities.
Reservations for tickeis lo vacation
places are being canceled daily, rail
road passenger men report. Also,
many who have planned trips are al
most daily visitors at the city passen
ger offices to inquire "if llicy'd he
stranded some place it uu-y made
their trip at this tune.'
As the ticket agents are in no wise
better informed than anyone else on
the strike situation, the obvious reply
is that "they can't give guarantees
with tickets that a railroad tie-up
wouldn t leave them stranded high
and dry in some out-of-the-way vaca
tion spot.
Some Hurry Home.
The seriousness of the situation is
causing vacationists in large num
bers to hurry hack to their home
towns before the "choo choos" them
selves take an enforced vacation.
The national vacation places in the
west are reporting that erstwhile
