LAMBERT REPORTS
ON CITY'S RIGHTS
Finds City Will Have Some
Rights in the Street Rail
way Company Soon.
REVIEW Of TITTY TEARS
Corporation Counsel Lambert sub
mitted to the city council sixty-
page report of his findings with rela
tion to the franchise situation be
tween the city and the Omaha and
Council Bluffs Street Railway com
pany, from the beginning of the
Omaha Horse Railway company fifty
years ago. I
The report was referred to the
committee of the whole for discus
sion next Tuesday morning.
Mr. Lambert finds that, in his opin
ion, the city will have a substantial
interest in the lines of the company
after January 1, 1917; that certain
franchise rights wil expire next
month and another next July, after
which time the company could claim
no existing franchise right except un
der the grant to the old cable tram
way company, which will expire in
1928. He cites that at the tune of
the consolidation of the tramwav
company that company had in opera
tion only lour ana one-nair miles ot
track.
Claims t Part.
The corporation counsel claims for
the city reversionary rights of such
property of the present system is
may rightfully be traced to the estab
lishment ot tne Horse car company.
according to a specific provision in a
ntty-year franchise grant to that
company.
Mr. Lambert is not ready to make
public specifically ;ust what amount
of property he believes would revert
to the city, nor what, steps his de
partment would recommend the city
should take beyond making a formal
demand upon the company to show
under what franchise rights it would
seek to operate certain lines after
February 19, 191.
There are legal phases of this sit
uation which Mr. Lambert wishes to
discuss with the council confiden
tially before taking action against the
street railway company.
Each city commissioner has a copy
ot tne report tor perusal Detore tne
committee of the whole meeting next

and public places of the city. The
report filed by Mr. Lambert covers

he states:
"The questions involved in the an
swer to your request are very nu
merous, as you will have occasion to
see, extremely complex and intricate.
as well as difficult of direct aaswer,
ana some ot them new, unusual and
novel to such an extent that we have
been able to obtain little or no aid
in their solution from any cases anv.
where dealing either directly with the
questions involved, or thei principles
underlying the solution of such ques
tions." The report embraces a history of
an street railway companies in Umaha

stages ot development and consolida
tion to the present company, the
Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail

Ten-Year-Old Gets Fare
Home as Christmas Gift
This was the second Christmas that
Cecil Armstrong, a 10-year-old negro
lad of Sedalio, Mo., received a rail
road ticket home for i present. In
iyi5 the youth ran away from home
just before Christmas and was in the
custody of the authorities at Kansas
City, Mo., when his father located
him and provided transportation
home. This year young Armstrong
repeated the caper and came to
Omaha, but his father wasn't so en
thusiastic about sending him a rail
road ticket. The elder Armstrong
finally decided, however, that the
youthful wanderer should eat fatted
chicken near the family hearth, st
when Una Miller received money for
a ticket, the boy was put aboard a
train bound for the Missouri city.

EMBARGO MODIFIED
BY UNION PACIFIC
Shipments in Less Than Car
load Lots Not Included When
Order Ooes Into Effect.
HOPE TO BREAK SHORTAGE
Modified at the last moment to pro
vide relief for the small shipper, the
Union Pacific embargo on freight to
competitive ..points went into effect
yesterday.
From this date until January 7 the
Union Pacific will refuse to accept
freight of carload lots or more billed
to competitive points. The embargo
is declared in order to alleviate inso
far as it is possible the car shortage
which has become so acute this fall
and winter. I
Just before the embargo went into
etlect. however, the order was mod
tied to except shipments of less than
carload lots. The original embargo
order was sweeping and included all
business except that which is billed
to local points and milling in transit.
Now small shipments of less than
carload lots, whether billed to local
or competitive points, will be ac
cepted,
The legality of the embargo con
tinues to be a matter of tlisnutr. but
it is said the railroad officials, in de
claring the embargo, are working on
the theory that shippers would have
less chance to collect damages if their
shipments were refused than if their
shipments were accepted and delayed
in delivery.
Sits Down to Rest,
Loses Job, Hungry,
Tries to Forge Check
Hunger, due to the loss of her job
as a clerk in a local department store
when she sat down for a few min
utes' rest, prompted Marie Nacht-,
weik, aged 21, of the Palm hotel, to
attempt to pass a forged check on
the Br.ndeis stores, accordin- to the
young woman's confession to the po
lice. Miss Nachtweik was arrested
Thursday night and at that time she
gave the name of Newman. She
will be bound over to the district
court.
Since she left her home in Chicago
a year ago Miss Nachtweik has had
a hard time, according to her story.
She first obtained employment as a
demonstrator, but she was compelled
to give up this job, she said, because
of unpleasant surroundings.' Then
she obtained a position in Omaha in
a store and the burden of life was
lighter until one night a floor walker
found her sitting down. Since that
time she has been without steady
employment, she stated, and in des
peration she tried to cash the forged
check. . ;

PRAISE FOR COOKS
WHO PREPARE FEED
Sing Carol of Thanksgiving to
the Women Who Hade
Christmas Enjoyable.
MEN ONLY HAD TO EAT IT
By A. R. OROH.
Men of Omaha, today let us sing a
song of thanksgiving, ' a paean of
praise, an anthem of admiration and
a carol of sweet thanksgiving to the
women of Omaha who prepared and
served our Christinas dinners.
Did we men stop to think, as we
delighted our appetites with dish aft
er dish of delicious food, exquisitely
cooked and charmingly served, what
an enormous amount of planning and
work was required to provide that
meal?
All we had to do was eat it. And .
then we went in the front room and
watched the children play with their
toys and talked about the war and
politics and told funny stories, while
the good women patiently and cheer;
fully washed up several hundred '
dishes.
At the hospitable home where I
was a guest there were twenty two
people altogether. As- nearly as I
can remember, each guest used twenty-six
different dishes, cups, glasses,
knives, forks and spoons. This would
make 572 articles to wash, without
counting the scores of dishes in which
things were served and the pott and
pans and kettles in which they were
cooked I , :,'
Feaat Ior Kings. 1
After we had been exquisitely
served with the tempting fruit cock
tail and the delicious oyster . stew
and celery, stuffed olives, pickles, cu
cumbers and the glorious turkey with
oyster etuffin' and mashed taters and '
r rench peaa and cranberry sauce and,
what a sweet young creature de
scribed in sorority house , slang as ,
heavenly hash (cut fruit and marsh- ,
mallows covered with whipped cream)
and cherry pie a la mode and coffee
and mints and salted almonds and
candy after we had delighted our
selves with all this, then the domes
tic engineers ate their dinner and
washed all those dishes and made ev
erything ahipshape. while we were in
another room watching little John
and i-little-bigger Kobin and still-big-ger
Dorothy playing with their toys
and 10-year-old Robert enthusiasti
cally beating the men folks at his
new game of parlor horseshoes.
And then, later, seven ot ua men
(wearied with our exertions , at play
ing horseshoes), went out for a ride
in the car. The women who had .
merely done all the work said they
didn't care to go, we should just go
and enjoy ourselves. '
' . Tll A II, 1
jnsurv asiann iu rfaan.
And later in the Day they served
coffee and several kinds of sandwiches
and ice cream and cake and fruit cake
and cookies and macaroons, and then
washed up all those dishes.
This was what happened in one
home. ' Multiply that by thousands
of homes and see what happened in
Omaha.
Should we sing a song of thanks
giving, a paean of praise, an anthem
of admiration, a carol of thanks
giving? i
Thank you, men of Omaha I I knew
the suggestion would meet with your '
enthusiastic and unanimous approval.
Now, then! All ready! Pull out all '
the stops, Mr. Organist. Press on j
all the loud pedals you've got That's .
right Let the organ peal out as it ,
never pealed before. Hear that glad '
chorus of bass and tenor I
We surely don't know what we
would do without you, . wonderful
women. . ;
