ignored no longer II the association would
keep abreast of the utility of similar organ
izations everywhere. While the building
now in use is large, 1t is so constructed that
great deal Of it's space is wasted 60 far
and it lacks the modern conveniences that
are nowadays quite indispensable in build
ings of such proportions.
While the project has not yet taken defnits
form, the need Of the association for a better
and more suitable building has been dis
cussed considerably of late by the board OF
directors. and not without hopes that some
of the several plans contemplated may be
found possible of fulfllment. One plan con-
templates the sale of the present quarters
and the erection of a new, larger and more
modern building with special facilities for
association work. in another locality The
possibility of carrying out this plan would
depend OF course upon the discovery of an
advantageous market for the building now
In use. 1t was built nearly dozen years ago
at cost OF $75,000 and there Is a mortgage
upon 1t now for that amount. but the land
upon which 1t is located is said to be worth
four OF five times what 1t was worth at the
time the building was erected.
Another plan lis to run the building up two
stories and supply 1t with elevators to make
1t more easily accessible, and third plan
is to convert the present auditorium, for
which there is hardly found profitable uses
TO justify its maintenance, into class rooms.
While this plan would not afford the needed
modern conveniences 1t would at least afford
much additional room for the active work
OF the association. and at small expense.

SAFEGUARD OF LIFE AND LIMB
Council Discusses Ordinance Pro-
posed to Govern the Handling
of Explosives.

A long and involved ordinance governing
handling of explosives was considered by
the council informally Friday night and will
probably come up for passage this week.
The need for such a measure was first
pointed out by Councilman Bingham shortly
after firemen working at the Allen Bros :
fire were killed and MANNED by an explosion
of gun powder. In accordance with Mr.. Bing-
hams suggestion a committee, consisting of
the chiefs OF the fire and police departments,
the building, plumbing and license in
spectors, was appointed to draw up an ordi-
nance to remedy the laxnees conceded to
exist.
The committee used a similar ordinance of
New York City as a model and adopted it's
provisions largely as regards dynamite,
nitro -glycerine and naphtha Strict precau-
tions are also outlined governing the sale of
kerosene and gasoline, and it is provided
that no sale shall be made TO persons un-
der sixteen years of age without written
order from parents or guardians. The pur-
pose OF this restriction is to avoid any con-
fusion in the sale OF the two fluids, similar
in all respects except explosive qualities.
The storage OF explosives is provided for
by rigid conditions which several members
Of the council believe will involve hard
ship upon grocers and others. The route to
be observed in hauling or conveying danger
Gus compounds through the streets is also
marked out.
The question of an inspector constantly re-
ferred to in the ordinance was discussed at
some length. The council does not wish TO
create another inspectorship and plan was

MRS. ROGERS WILL IS VOID
Judge Baxter Decides She Was Labor
ing Under n Delusion When She
Signed the Document.


Judge Baxter decided yesterday that the
late Mrs. Clara Rogers was laboring under
a delusion when she made will bequeathing
the greater part of her property to St.
James orphanage. cutting her husband OFF
with only life interest in two houses.
Judge Baxter delivered lengthy opinion
In reaching his decision. He reviewed the
evidence from both sides, bringing out all
of the more striking features. He touched
at length upon the letter left by Mrs. Rogers
In which she accused her husband Of at
tempting to murder her and 1t was probably
this letter that convinced Judge Baxter OF
the womans insanity, for there was vol
ume OF evidence TO show that Mr.. Rogers
had always treated his wife with affection.
The suit was brought by A. T. Rogers,
husband of the deceased, and her brothers.
]. w. Edward and Albert Whitman. st.
James orphanage was represented by an
attorney
The issue was 10 determine IL the will
should be admitted to probate, and, accord
ing to Judge Baxters decision. the docu-
ment was not admitted Unless a higher
court oyerrules this decision, st. James or
phanage loses its bequest and the estate of
the deceased will be disposed of in the usual
way, just as II no Will had been left.

POPOCRATS WILL PONDER
They Reconsider Resolutions ReIat-
ing to Democratic Perhdy and
VIII Wait Awhile.

The row over the distribution OF the ap-
pointive Offices under the new fusion officers
elect has aroused such an interest that Sat
urday evenings meeting of the populist
county ceutral committee was largely at
tended. 1t was miraculously peaceful meet
ing but the committee had scraped up an
other populist who would not object to po-
sition with sure and good pay. 1t was
Charles Cohen, who was recommended for
a position in the office of the clerk of the
district court.
Then the committee became magnauimous
and reconsidered and recommitted all reso-
lutions passed In the heat of passion con-
cerning the failure OF the democrats to keep
the party promises as to the division of the
spoils, and will leave them in pickle until
after the officers elect have made their ap.
pointments.
During the evening steps were inaugu-
rated for social during the coming month
in recognition OF the first anniversary of the
organization of the Peter Cooper club to oc-
cur at the club room on Howard street.

Monday Morning in Good
Feeling.

The visit of Secretary-Treasurer Conine

resulted in a settlement Of the labor diff

have been out on a strike for several days
past He and a committee of the Leather

Ing Him from Taking Possession
of the City jail Cafe. ..

For while Saturday night II looked 40
though the offenders against the peace and
dignity OF the city would be compelled to 20
hungry over Sunday. The reason for the
threatened fast was the fact that an instru-
ment with Judge Cunningham r. scott's
name attached was brought to the police
station in which 1t was expressly stated
that one f. N. Daharsh must not set his
foot upon the premises OF the city jal or in
any way molest the utensils and other ap-
purtenances belonging to the jail cafe
1t seems the city council some time ago
awarded the contract for feeding the city
prisoners to the defendant In this action.
He was to receive as remuneration the sum
of 8 9-l0 cents per meal. ]. s. Stone. who
handed In bid some time ago, thought
he was entitled to the contract as he
claimed he had made a bid for 1910
cents per meal. When Daharsh went
down to take possession under the contract
he was refused admttance and the next
thing he knew he was confronted by re-
straining order The matter will come up
for hearing Monday morning In Judge Faw-
cett's court.
The contract at the present time is held
by Joe Danbaum. who gets 94-1O cents for

about three years. Chef Patterson, who con-
cocts the savory dishes for the prisoners at

PATRIOTIC LEAGUE MEETING
Permanent Quarters for the Club Arc
Established in the MilInrd
Hotel.

There were between thirty-Hve and forty
people present at a meeting OF the Patriotic
league in the committee room at the Mil
lard hotel last evening. Among them were
Cadet Taylor, w. A. Saunders, Sam walkup,
f. D. Simpson, Henry Knodell, G. S. Amber,
X. s. Fisher, Hugh A. Myers, Carr AFFORD.
C. E. Tuttle, r. l.. Robinson, George Wit

Y. starbuck, e. A. Evans, ]. T. Wilson,
Crawford Kennedy, J. H. Berger l. S. Has
call, ]. c. Trouton OF South Omaha and a
number of others.
At previous meeting a canvassing COM
mittee comprising about twenty five men To-
Gated in the different wards had been ap-
pointed to enlarge the membership, and some
time was devoted to listening to reports
from the different wards forty six names be-
ing handed in for membership. They were
elected to positions on the roll.
1t developed that membership is secured in
the club by an agreement to pay, some so
cents and others 81, per month for the main
tenance of the organization.
G. S. Amber reported for a committee on
permanent headquarters previously ap-
pointed, to the effect that ]. z. Markell had
offered to the club the use of suitable rooms
with furniture. light, heat, etc., free of
charge, the club room proper to be located
on the third floor Of the Millard, with the
use Of the ball room on the fourth floor and
the committee room on the first fl or when
ever they were needed. The offer was ac-
cepted and committee brought in Mr.. Mar
kell, who repeated his offer and was made
the first honorary member of the club
written request for change Of night of
meeting met with no responsive action for
the reason stated that 1t would be better to
consider that matter later. 1t was stated
that when the headquarters have been es-
tablshed members can visit the rooms any
day or evening, for they will be kept open
permanently.
c. E. Tuttle suggested that now that the
club has members, headquarters, money and
no expenses, the work of organization should
begin at once, suggesting that the executive
committee consider plan that contemplates
ward captain in each ward and lieuten-
ant In each voting precinct.
l. S. Hascall also favored immediate or
ganization. He said that in the next election
there will probably be no question of i'm
perialsm as the Filipino government has
about all fallen Into the hands of the army.
Down in Alabama Senator Morgan is about
to fight duel with the opposition candidate
for the senate. The latter insiste that Nor
gan Is against Bryan. Morgan is against
Bryan's ideas, but does not want to be com
PEELED to say SO in Alabama although he is
doing what he can to knock Bryan down.
j. H. Berger complained because the OBJ
jects of the club had not been exploited by
the Omaha press, and favored securing the
aid OF weekly paper on Harney street for
bringing the club before the public. The
editor OF the paper was present and ex-
pressed his readiness to be made use of. He
said he would be glad to center into arrange
ments" with the club for that service.

favored by which the FIRE chief should be

opinion that the inspection provided by the
state law should be sufficient. The ordinance
places a great deal OF power in the hands of
the inspector and several members felt that
his duties should be more plainly indicated.
Several other defects were pointed out,
