THE OMAHA SUNdAy BEE: OCTOBER 26, 1919.
Florence Ordered
Included in Omaha
, Switching District
The United States railroad ad
ministration has finally ordered that
rlorence, a suburb in. north Omaha,
be included in the Omaha switch
ing district, according to a message
received by the bureau of trans
portation of the Chamber f, Com
merce. The announcement terminates a
long fight between the railroads
5
and the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce, and opens what .' Cbilde,
head of th transportation depart
ment of the-, chamber ternjs a new
area for industrial shipping in Oma
ha. - . ,
Lumber and coal yard -interests
of Florence, started the fight mere
than two years ago, when Florence
was annexed . to Omaha, charging
that rates on inbound freight to
Florence werejjigher than those to
Omaha. The higher rates were' in
reality a tax on the city of Omaha,
it was said, because coal used for
pumping aT" the , water works was
higbir due to higher jrates. .
The Chamber of Commerce took
up the fight and last Utyf .secured
an authorization from the railroad
administration to include- Florence
in the Omaha switching district. A4
protest by the railroads delayed tnc
change until this wek, however.

John McCormacfc In :
a- Delightful New
BaUacl for Victrola
- , -S'-V : "
"Rose! of Picardy," which John
McLormack . interprets on a new
Victroja record, $s a song, taken al
most at random - froin the many
beautiful songs the new day has
given to the worldand is translated
into a thing pf more exalted beauty
by the voice of John McCormack
the artist who can find beauty and
it in
T-TT
everything'
he
redisclost
touches.
Lovers - of string music will hail
with delight another number inter
preted by the famous Flonzaley
quartetxpn a new;. Victrola record. It
hs a minuet trom Mozart s yuartet
in" D Major. Mozart wrote many
minuets. Perhaps the mast famous,
and even .today, it may be, the most
popularin the whole world (except
ing Paderewski's),is to be found
in his. opera, "Don Giovanni." And
this is one of t ft most graceful, the
most courtly, the most imaginative
of them all. Turning from the su
blimeNo music in a lighter vein, we
may even-there find refreshment
now and then. " '
So we mention couple ef songs
by Esther Walker, a young come
dienne who presents them on the
first of her Victor records. "Sahara"
(We'll Soon Be Dry like You) is a
timely take-off on the coming eyent
that wil make the country "sure
'nough' dry. The wails of the des
ert and the atrummings 6f barbaric
instruments introduce a grotesque
lament for the departed - "Whisky,
wint'r gin.",' An orchestral, accom
paniment produces a sly and very
fetching rhythm. - -
On the reverse of the record she
sings "Nobody Knows" (And No
body Seems to " Care) a coaxing
little ditty
style.

" The" streets of Omaha will soon

outside and inside as well as me
chanically and are one'of the late
types produced by the Willys-Overland
