CUBAN TARIFF BILL PASSES THE HOUSE
But a Very Important Amendment is First
Adopted Exciting Scene.

But a Very Important Amendment is First
Adopted Exciting Scene.
WASHINGTON, April 18.-The Dem.
ocrats and the Republican insurgents
rode rough shod yer the House
leaders to-day when the voting be-
gan on the Cuban Reciprocity Bill.
They over threw the ruling of the
chair in committee of the whole on
the question of the germaneness
of an amendment to remove the
d~ifferential from refined sugar dur
ing the existence of the reciprocity
agreement provided for in the bill.
The vote to override the decision of
the chair by Mr.. Sherman, of New
York, was III to 100, Republicans to
the number of 81 joining with a solid
Democratic vote to accomplish this
result. Having won this prelimi-
nary victory the amendment was
adopted in committee, 164-111, and
later in the House by a still larger
majority, 199-1O5. On this occasion
"a Republicans voted with the Dem
ocrats for the amendment. The bill
was then passed by an overwhelm.
ing majority, 247-52..
One of the most signal victories
gained by either party in Congress
in a long time was scored yesterday
by the Democrats when, with the
aid of a number of Republicans it is
true, the Speaker was ~overruled, the
differential duty on refined sugar
removed, and a material reduction
in duties of Cuban products made.
The removal of the ~differential (of
one. eighth of a cent a pound) on 70
fined sugars simply deprives the
trust of an unjust part of it's profits,
while the reduction (of 20 per cent?
on the raw sugars coming from
Cuba will do no material injury TO
our domestic producers. Nor will it
result in largely cheapening sugar
to the people. The present retail
price is six cents, and if all duties
were off it could scarcely be retailed
for but little less.-Raleigh Post,

are forthcoming.
The second floor is used entirely for
dining room and kitchen purposes. The
lunch room is conducted ON the cafeteria
plan, very much the same as our own
lunch room, but with twice as much floor
space. The prices are very much higher
than ours in Omaha, and very few OF the
young women take any lunch with them.
Their average attendance is less than ours,
though the new building with its special
provision for. the cafeteria is increasins
their attendance 30 rapidly thai they will
probably have an attendance of at least
500 in the near future.
"The home department occupies the en-
tire third, fourth and nth floors Of the

beautifully furnished In quaint weathered
oak furniture and shaded olive-green walls,
with rug and silk draperies Of the same
restful tint; q smaller reception room, a
completely equipped infrmary with every
appliance for up-to-date nursing, bath and
toilet rooms on each floor and thirty-seven
bedrooms, all Of which have been hlled
ever since-the association took possession
OF the building. In addition there are
three suites Of three rooms each for the
use OF the secretaries; also q fine suite Of
rooms especially planned for the teaching
Of domestic art and science in its different
phases. The domestic science as a depart
ment is still in it's Infancy and steps are
being taken to secure a domestic science
teacher from one OF the best schools In
the country, who shall personally conduct
classes In the chemistry Of cooking,
thorough hygiene in kitchen, dining room
and sleeping rooms. and, indeed. everything
necessary for the management and service
OF a well regulated household. There Will
be special courses open to housekeepers,
cooks. laundresses, etc.
Gymnasium a Disappointment.
THE disappointing feature Of this very
nne building is its gymnasium. II is small
and the ceiling too low and cannot be con-
sidered at all in keeping with the work Of
SO large an association. and there Is no
provision for a natatorium, which is Quite
necessary In a thoroughly equipped gym
nasium. Another weakness is the lack Of
an auditorium. There Is no suitable room
for the various large gatherings Of the
association, and, indeed, no room suitable
for the gospel meetings.
AT this time, when our association In
Omaha is contemplating, the erection Of a
building for It's work. these particulars OF
the Milwaukee building win probably be

and business. people Of Omaha will GER
tainly see that suitable provision for the
needs Of the young women OF our city is not
only desirable. but necessary"

TROUBLES TOLD THE POLICE
What the Desk Sergeant Has to Listen To
During the Day.
FREAKS WHO VISIT THE CENTRAL STATION
Patsy Hsvey Tells of some of the
Things He Encounters During
His Hours on Watch
at City Jail.

Desk Sergeant patsy Havey, who has
spent more years on the Omaha police force
than he will anywhere else, save in eternity,
is authority for the statement that the po-
lice station hears more strange requests
and listens to more stories that do not
come under the jurisdiction of the police
than any place in the world. The informa-
ton was volunteered after this little Incl
dent.
"Pd like to get So on this watch" said a
man of average appearance, as he handed
up an open face silver timepiece to the
sergeant "I spent more money than I
could afford and haven't enough to get
home on"
And here's what Patsy does to keep
from going wild when such requests are
made: He took the watch and carefully
examined 1t. opened the back and looked
at the works, listened to It tick. asked the
price, what It cost, how long the nan had
1t and about q thousand and one other ques-
lions; and here's what he said;
well. II you wan TO get So on that
watch / guess you had better take IL to q
pawnshop. What do you COM here with
It fort This is the police station"
The mar did not attempt to conceal his
look OF surprise when he learned that the
safe at the police station was not full Of
money for Just such emergencies.
Freaks All Land There.
f"Freaks5" said the sergeant. 'the woods
are fall Of them. and all that get out come
In here. and those that don come In send

And the sergeant produced a letter mailed
In an Iowa town, written by q woman evi-
IDENTIFY of good education-so far as the
writing was concerned. The letter stated
that the writer was a middle aged widow
and had a strange dream which she wished

cause she had the dream while visiting in

CITY OFFICIALS MAY ACT
Court DissOlves Restraining Orders on
Market and Engine House Gases.
APPLICATIONS FOR INJUNcTIoNS STAND
b Smith Says Cases VIII Not he
Abandoned and Omoials VIII he
Held Liable on Their
Bonds.

The city onlcials OF Omaha may proceed
with the erection OF a market house ON
Capitol avenue and with the purchase Of
an engine house lot at Eleventh and Jack
son streets, but at their own and their
bondsmen's risk OF subsequent suits for
damages.
This is the result Of Judge Read OF the
district court yesterday dissolving the
temporary restraining order he had issued
In the former matter upon the application
OF David Cole and In the latter upon the
application Of Robert Smith.
As to the Cole prayer, he held that a
general taxpayer OF the city has no stand
Ing In court to enjoin the erection of a
public market house on a public street,
even II the original dedication Of such street
was such as to give such standing to a tax
payer who has special interest by reason
OF proximity Of such market house TO his
property; that the appropriation of general
fund money was proper and that It was not
necessary to go before the people to ask for
bonds; and, finally, he held that a special
estimate for market house purposes need
not necessarily be provided for In the an
nuAl estimate.
Does Not Anect Ordinance.
This decision. the attorneys say, in no
way anects the ordinance making Il q mis-
demeanor for the peddlers to assemble at
the old market site on Howard street, which
ordinance the Board Of Fire ana Police
Commissioners has ordered the chief Of
police to enforce not later than next Mon
day.
In the engine house matter. he held that
the mayors action In attempting to enter
into a contract with W. B. Meikle for the
purchase Of the desired lot without author
ity from the oun was void and illegal.
but he knocked out Smiths objection. on
the ground that such illegal act was subse-
quently ratified by the city council in APP
propriating $4,000 as q second part pay
ment on the total price OF SIS. 900.
This leaves the matter to come up on
regular hearing for a permanent injunction.
a status which Il enjoyed before this pre-
liminary hearing was had. Robert smith.
the plaintiff, said. after hearing the decision,
You may say that we win go right on
hghting the action, for II they proceed with
the purchase and we can make proper show
Ing, No can then recover from the omcials
