Of Administration

issued, and I'm the first mayor who
sat in the chair who can say that."
The mayor pronounced the pres

best equipped in the history of the
city, and attacked Judge Henry Dunn

orderly houses or fining them a
nominal ?5 each after police had
raided the "joints."
The mayor also cited improvement
made in the park department under
Commissioner Falconer and the
public improvements department un
der Commissioner TowL
Ringer Cheered.
Concluding, Mayor Smith laid
upon the women joi Omaha the bur
den of re-electing the commissioners
now in office.
When Commissioner Ringer, th,
only candidate besides Judge Sutton
to speak, arose, the crowd leaped to
its feet and cheered lustily.
Mrs. H. C. Sumney pleaded with

Nebraska Congressman, Testi

Gamblinp; Bill. Savs Sys
tem Wrong.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Wiihhinjcton Correspondent Onmlm He.
Washington, April 30. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Evans,
who with other representatives from
the grain growing states of the west
and northwest, is peeking to put a
stop to gambling in whet and other
cereals through legislation, was a
witness Friday before the committee
on agriculture of the house in sup
port bf his anti-gambling and anti
hedging bill.
In his statement before the com
mittee Congressman McLaughlin
presiding during the testimony of his
colleague, Judge Evans, said that
the chief difference between his bill
and other bills that were , pending
before the committee was that he
proposed to do away with the prac
tice of hedging within the next two
years.
He declared that the consensus of
the testimony of all witnesses was
to the effect that the speculator in
every instance, carried the insurance
end of the legitimate head under the
present system. The speculator he,
declared to be nothing"" more nor
less than a gambler.
Says Producer Bears Expense.
He called attention to. the fact that.
Mr. Griffin of the Chicago. Board of
Trade and Mr. Wells of Minneapolis
had stated that approximately 50 per,
cent of all of the speculators on the
board of trade went into bankruptcy.
He said he therefore concluded that'
a system of -hedging or insurance,
which in its very nature requires
gambling, was wrong and could not
by any stretch of the imagination be
in the interest of the producer. He
belfeved that the producer-in every
instance carried the expense, either
directly or indirectly, of marketing
his product from the field to the con
sumer and that the producer bore the
expense of the socalled insurance in
every instance instead of the specula
