WAIT FOR CONGRESS TO ACT
what the Contractor of Federal
Building Addition Are Re-
Quired to DO.

The statement was made by the super
vising architect Of the Omaha federal
building yesterday morning that no further
action would be taken on the construction
Of the Seventeenth street front of the
federal building until congress has had an
opportunity to pass upon the question.
The architect stated that the bids Of Gin
dele & Co. had been suspended in Wash
ington until more money is available for
the construction. as there is not money
suficient in the fund to complete the
building even upon the modified plan OF
Senator Willard.
As to the probability OF securing funds
this year, the architect said that he
understood the intention OF Senator Mil
lard TO be to attach an appropriation to
the general deficiency bill pending In the
senate or to the omnibus building bill,
which will soon reach the senate from the
house. At the present time that bill, which
came from Congressman MERGERS commit
tee, contains no provision for money to
complete the building In this city.
According TO statements made at the
federal building the present condition will
result in extending the work on the build
ing for about another year, as the plans
for the construction will depend entirely
upon the action Of congress. The fear was
expressed that unless the matter is set
tied at this session there will not be
money enough in the present fund to

NEW YORK, May 3.-Armed with a let

WILL BEAUTlFY ONE STREET
Major ID. II. WheeIer's Scheme TO BE
Carried Out on south Twenty
Eighth.

South Twenty eighth street from Farnam
to Leavenworth, a distance Of about half a
mile, has been taken under the wing OF
Major d.. II. Wheeler, who proposes to
demonstrate to the city what a little uni
formity In the way Of sodding and tree
planting can do toward identifying a drive
way. 1t is to be made a sample residence
street, to the end that the city council may
eventually order more like It.
Bids for sodding and tree-planting have
been opened by the Board of Public Works
and contracts will be awarded within a
few days. James NJ. Buel offers to do the
sodding for liz cents per square yard,
while George r. Crandall bids 19 cents per
square yard and 1910 per tree, each tree
guaranteed to live. The trees will be soft
maple and will be set In such a way as to
form continuous. unbroken rows on both
sides of the street, from Leavenworth to
Farnam street. The sodding will be Of uni
form width between the sidewalk and the
curb the entire distance. These improve
ments, in view Of the fact that the old
cedar block pavement has been removed
and the thoroughfare repaved with asphalt,
promise to make on South Twenty-eighth
street one of the most beautiful half-miles
Of driveway in the city.
One eyesore In the heart OF this some
what exclusive residence district is a group
Of Tamshackle frame buildings at 315 South
Twenty-eighth street, the property Of John
Keith Of North Platte. They are used by
him as boarding and sale stables for horses
raised on his ranch, and of late persons
living In the locality have been complaining
that the street IN front OF the buildings is
constantly congested with a Job lot of non
descript vehicles. e. o. Jackson, manager
Of the stables, is to be notified that he has
no right to use the street for this purpose.
The structures themselves have fallen under
the ban Of the city building inspector, who
will to the Board of Public
Works at its next meeting that they be
condemned and torn down.
The ordinance providing for the embel-
lishment of South Twenty eighth street is
all that is left of Major Wheeler's blanket
ordinance providing for similar improve
ments on every residence street in the city.
This ordinance was vetoed by the mayor,
who gave as his reason that the city was
already overburdened with special taxes.
"If the ordinance had become a law
said the major, ut would have put an end
to this squabble about the building of fences
In the street. The city would have become
responsible for the proper care Of the trees
and sodding along street margins. and there
would have been no excuse for private
property owners building fences for such
protection"

Hill, who acted as POSTMASTER, introduced
President Roosevelt. The president spoke
for about fifteen minutes, paying %particu-
lar attention to the army and the navy

frequently interrupted by applause. He
said in part:
you come here tonight from every quar-
ter, from every state of the union, from
the islands Of the eastern seas. Great
applause.)
THE republic has put up its flag in those
islands and the flag will stay there. EN-
thusiastic applause.) May we show our
fealty to the great men, who did the great
deeds Of the past. not orly by words, but
by deeds. by so shaping the policy Of this
great republic, by making 1t evident that
we are not unworthy OF our sires. Great
npplause.) They did justice and we will

Of the mighty men of the past l ask each
man to do his part in seeing that this

word to the ideals of the past (Cries OF
We will and applause) to remember that
we can no more afford to show weakness

FOR MARKING OF BAD MEN
One Thing that Will Interest National
Association Of Police Chiefs.
CHIEF DoNAHUE TALKS OF THE PROJECT
While Attending National Convention
Omaha's Representative VIII
Also investigate the
Three-Shift system.

Chief Of Police Donahue will leave Mon
day for Louisville, Ky, to attend the ma
tional convention Of chiefs Of police, Of
which he is a director. The convention
will begin Wednesday and be in session
four days.
zone Of the principal questions that
will be discussed" said the chief. will
be the bill pending in congress for the
maintenance OF the national bureau
Of Identification. We desire the
appropriation made, but we also want
the matter kept out Of politics.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment Of a superintendent by the attorney
general, to be approved by the board Of
directors OF our association. 1t means a
great deal to us and to the efficiency OF
the bureau as to who the superintendent
and his assistants are to be. We are
afraid that in time to come the Offices
might be given to persons not competent, in
order to pay political debts, and It is Of
the utmost Importance that the super
intendent and his assistants be men
thoroughly posted In the business. At the
present time there are about $1,000 photo
graphs in the collection In Washington,
with a description of each man. We
identify a man from his description more
than from the photograph, and should the
least error be made in the description 1t
would run the Identification, hence the abso-
lutte necessity Of having every man employed
In the bureau thoroughly competent and
familiar with the work. l believe the men
should be selected by the board and rec
commended to the attorney general"
Contest for Next Meeting.
Washington, Los Angeles and Colorado
Springs are making a fight for the next
meeting OF the convention. and as all three
places made a good showing last year for
this meeting, the contest promises to be
spirited, though at the present time Wash
ington seems to have the lead.
Chief Donahue will investigate thoroughly
the three-shift or eight-hour-a-day plan
and If 1t has proven satisfactory in other
places he will make an endeavor to have
1t introduced here. MY idea," said the
chief, sis to have a small shift go on from
S o'clock in the morning until A in the aft
ernoon, as there is very little to do be-
tween those hours, and only a small force
Is required. From 4 until midnight is the
time that the largest crowds are on the
streets and more men are needed, and we
could double the force. Then from IL
o'clock until in the morning have a small
force, all the men being available for emer-
gency."
