Fred R. Schroeder agreed to haul Omaha'i garbage for three months for $7,200 per month, at a special city council meeting yesterday after noon.

Thrj will appear vtrluitlvrly In The Ba. The firth artlrla will be published Thur. da In both morning and vanlnc adlliona. Copyright, 1121, by Sally Nawa, New York. A debutante's first year. Those four words mean the time of most significance in the life of a girl like rih Potter. I hen are formed the connections which en dure through a lifetime in society friends and enemies and, sooner or later, a husband. v The first winter of the Titian haired Miss Potter's career in so ciety was a pleasant but not a con spicuously brilliant one. New York did not yet know her at her best. In the summer she came into her own. Her father took her to New port for the first season he had spent there since his daughter's childhood. There the future Mrs. Stillman's greatest charms, her frankness, good sportsmanship and open-air type of beauty, made her one of the most popular girls in the most fashionable society of America. A girl who made her debut in Fifi Potter's year, and who is now one of the best known women in New York society, describes that summer to the New York News. "Col. John Jacob Astor was then a great popular figure," she says. "He and Fifi Potter introduced to Newport a sport which threatened for a time to swamp all other sports "squash," a sort of tennis, played on a boxlike court. Most Popular Debutante. "No debutante of that year was more generally liked than Fifi Pot ter. I remember her now as I used to see her nearly every day on the tennis courts fresh, mirthful, ex cited with the fun of playing a good game. She was a first-qjte horse woman, too, and could give us all ponts when it came to riding. had been at Tuxedo the previous sumer. He and fin rotter had been tennis 'opponents nearly every day. People began busily to inform other people that the engagement, of 'Miss Potter and Mr. Palmer would be announced soon. Of course it wasn't; they were good tennis op ponents, and that's all. "Those of us who remember Fifi Potter then,' and know that she has from the very beginning always been an example of the finest type of American lady, find these charges' made against .her positively laugh able." Rushed From Party to Party. In her second season Miss Potter's, popularity had become an established fact She was rushed from party to party until, as she said in thinking of it. she felt "100 years old." "From 17 to 19 I spent ,two crowded years," Mrs. Stillman ex presses it. "I remember the second Yale prom I went to. I had been out for two years, and was just 19 and yet I felt fully 100." She was still, however, the laugh ing Fifi who justified her nickname. During this season she met oc casionally, "at 'dinners and dances, the eldest son of James Stillman, the Standard Oil banker. The Stillmans were a family that had become immensely wealthy within the previous 15 years. The new marble palace of James Still- man at 9 fcast &eventy-secona street was one of the show places of the Fifth avenue district. Stillmans Not in "Society." Nevertheless the Stillmans were not "in society" as old New York understood the term. Like the Wil liam G. Rockefeller family, with which they were always closely al lied, they had great wealth and great ambition, but were not yet in Holds His Wine of Greater Value to Him Than His Wife His wine is more valuable than his wife, to him, Charles Henos, 4772 Maple street, demonstrated yes terday. He hired an expert to test 700 gal lons of wine in his cellar to establish that no one had tampered with it by adding water. Yet he made no resistance when his wife, Dorothea, obtained a di vorce Saturday. He even gave her all the furniture "above the base ment" and another house at 3111 La fayette avenue. War Department Invites Bids on Hay, Oats and Bran The War department in circulars received at the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, solicits farmers of this vicinity to submit prices for hay, cats and bran for immediate pur chase.

The terra "Four Hundred" orig inally meant the 400 people who were on the invitation list of the dowager Mrs. Astor, mother of Colonel John Jacob Astor and grandmother of Vincent Astor. This was, to the initiated, the mark of' an "ultrafashionable" person. Fifi Potter, of course, had been one of the enviable ultrafashionables from the day she became a de butante. Who knows whether the ambitious James Stillman, sr., undis puted ruler of the Stillman fates, did not pick her out as the instrument of his family's advancement? New York society thought so, at any rate. Systematic Campaign Won. One more season as a popular girl in society and the systematic cam paign of "Jimmy" Stillman won Fifi Potter. He was young, determined and ambitious. With his father's iron-willed thoroughness he had gone into the National City bank, of which the elder Stillman was then president, as a bookkeeper learnintr the busi- ness from the inside. He wooed the beautiful Miss Potter with the same thoroughness. His sister Isabel married Percv A. Rockefeller on April 3, 1901. It was the first marriage between the Str'llman and William Rockefeller families, which for years had been business associates and co-workers for social distinction. Four days later the engagmtcnt of James Alex ander Stillman and Miss Anne Urquhart Potter was announced. Society sat up. Elder Stillman Jubilant "It meant just one thing: that the StiMmans would p'obab'y oc cupy the position in the future which they had not had, for various reasons, in the past," the Fifth ave nue matron previously quoted de clares. "Marriage with Miss Potter could do that for them, and we all knew it at the time." The elder Stillman was jubilant. The wedding was hurried as much as possible although Miss Potter had informed her friends that she did not want it to take place until September. The Stillman dictation had already commenced. The elder Mr. Stillman announced the wedding would take place in June, and in New York. Miss Potter had expressed her de sire to have it at hec father's house in Tuxedo. - The 20-year-old Fifi Potter had not then learned her own force of character. The wedding took place at Grace church on June 3, 1901, with Bishop Henry C Potter, the bride's great-uncle, performing the ceremony. New York society was at the wedding in a body. So much could not have been said of the wed ding of Isabel Stillman and Percy Rockefeller, three months before. The Stillman ambitions seemed about to - be realized. A Memorable Bride. The lady whose courtesy has sup plied descriptions of Fifi Potter at Newport was at the wedding. Let her describe it as she saw it that day in June: "She was a memorable bride. Everybody who was in Grace church that day must think of her often as she was then, with her auburn hair hidden under clouds of point de venise lace, her laughing eyes a little troubled with the seriousness of it all, and the diamond coronet which was Stillman's wedding present blaz ing above her forehead." Fifi Potter was marrying a man whom she sincerely loved, and to whom she was bringing a name which had tradition and prestige. His wedding gift to her symbolized the wealth which was his. What the years would make out of that wealth, that name and that love, none of the crowd there could have guessed.

Leugsler Gives Testi mony Before State Com- mission at Reopening of Hearing on Valuatoin. - A higher rate of street car fare would not greatly reduce the patron age of street cars, according to R. A. Leussler, general manager of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail way company. Mr. Leussler gave lengthy, testi mony yesterday, when the street car company valuation case was resumed by the State Railway commission at the city hall. "People who want to ride will ride even though the tare is increased, , he said. "Of course, there may be a few who would walk because of it, , but an increased fare would swell the revenues of the company, neverthe less." Condemns Transfer Charge. Mr. Leussler condemned the sys tem used in some cities of making an extra charge for transfers. He also condemned the practice of issuing cut-rate tickets for. school children. "A 200-pound boy, with ample mpim nf navinc the recular rharee. maw he rttincr a snccial rate under the school children's ticket system: while a little working girl, with lim ited means must pay the full fare," explained Mr. Leussler. Mr. Leussler testified that labor costs had increased 115 per cent and coal prices 156 per cent over the 1914 period, while discussing increased costs of operation and maintenance. No Dividends. He said thlt no dividends would be declared on preferred stock on July 1, that no dividends have been paid on common stock "for years," and that it is impossible to sell com mon stock. "The company has always been prompt in paying its bills," he said, "but during the past few months concerns from which it purchases supplies and equipment have shown a tendency to be very cautious in extending credit of any- kind." Commenting on the coal situation, Mr. Leussler said it probably would be impossible for the company to make new contracts for coal at lower prices. Prowler Again Attacks Mrs. Getty in Her Home A strange man who terrorized Mrs. F. R. Getty for a week by his telephone calls and for protection against whom she employed a detec tive, entered her home at 2812 South Thirty-second avenue at 11 o'clock Monday night and seized her by the throat. ' " "I'll get you yetl" he gloated. Mrs. Getty gave a scream, which brought the detective guarding the house and neighbors to her side. The intruder escaped.

Besides the infant, there is a baby of Vi years, another 3 years and another 5 years old all of whom need nourishing milk." "When our nurse found them they were suffering from rickets and showed other signs of under-nour-ishment.
