have been hummed and whistled and
played on gramaphones for the benefit of
all who did not meet him personally on

not by a jugful. On the contrary, his re-

of people not ordinarily seen at the the

sang for. All the ~favorite numbers were
encored again and again. and the repetition
Of one or the other ceased only when the
director insisted on going ahead with the
performance. For example, "The Tale of
the Bumblebee" was sung and sung again,
and whistled and sung and sung and whis-

It was never given with better effect. All

Hitchcock is extremely funny and his as

.Autocratic in Some ways.

Notwithstanding his benevolent interests
he was an autocrat in the management OF
his concerns. He was almost unknown by
sight TO his workmen and rarely visited
the works or his offices. He spent several
months every year on the Island OF Capri
and managed his gunworks. rolling mills,
iron mines and shipyards by letters and
kilograms.
Unlike his father, Herr Krupp took no in
terest in the technical side Of his business.
yet in fifteen years he more than doubled
the fortune which he inherited. Since their
foundation the Essen factories have turned
out Al 900 pieces of artillery. Herr Krupp
resented being called THE Cannon King
and he said that half Of all the output Of
his works was civilizing products. such as
railway. and ship material and structural
steel.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-L. @. Powers,
chief statistician for agriculture in the cen
sus bureau, makes the following statement
concerning the National Board OF Trade re-
port, alleging the census figures of farm
acreage were grossly exaggerated.
The most important specifications under
that charge briefly summarized consist OF
one general and seven specific items as
follows:
81 The census figures show 10l counties
with farm lands reported equal to or In
excess Of surveyed lands surface of such

The statements of the committee with
reference to the excess acreage in these
seven states are more in excess of the

farm area. Further, the so-called excess
acreage actually reported by the census
Is in harmony with the facts, as a cursory
examination OF the same will demonstrate.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Eastern Investor Calls Attention to Need Of
More Paved Streets
HOSPITAL MOVES TO 8RAlNERO BUILDING
No Trace of Frank Roberts, the Miss
ing Cashier OF Pncihc EN0ress
Comparative and Police
Board Talk.

What South Omaha needs" said an
eastern investor who was looking over the
city Saturday and yesterday, us more
paved streets. Your city engineer tells me
that South Omaha has an area Of six and
one-half square miles, with a total mile
age of streets Of los. Six miles are paved
and thirty-two miles are graded. The snail
per centage Of paved streets in q city
OF the importance VI South Omaha is sur
prislng"
A call upon the city engineer verified the
figures Of the visitor and this tact-goes TO
show that eastern people are keeping a
close watch upon South Omaha.
When this matter was brought to the at
tention OF a number OF the members Of
the council last night in an informal way
It was agreed by all that South Omaha
needs more paved streets.
One councilmen said that IL was the fault
Of the property owners that improvements
were not made more rapidly. The council.
he said, stands ready and willing at any
time to assist in forwarding improvements
suggested by owners Of property.
Another said 1.-THE laying Of pavement
and the placing Of permanent sidewalks
will do much towards bringing our city TO
the attention Of eastern investors. Prop
erty owners do not like to lay brick or
stone walks until a pavement has been
laid and this in a measure accounts for
the dilapidated condition of the city's
walks"
1t is probable that this matter Of paw
ing may be agitated between now and
spring and that efforts will be made to
have petitions for paving circulated all
over the city. Suggestions were made that
these streets be paved: Twenty-ffth street,
north from L to d; NJ street from Twenty
third street west to Twenty-sixth; Mis-
souri, avenue, from Twentieth street east
to Thirteenth street; Twenty-third street,
from N street north to F street; Q street,
from Thirty-third west to Thirty-ninth
street; Q street, east from Twenty-fourth
to Twentieth street, and d and E streets,
from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-siXth
streets. 1t is also deemed necessary, in case
the proposed general movement for paving
goes through, to pave Railroad avenue TO
the county line. In this case the city will
have to bear the expense, as 1t will in
case the street on the south side OF the
postofhce building is paved. The construc-
ton Of the A.. o. U. w. hall at Twenty
fifth and NJ streets calls for a paved street
from twenty fourth to Twenty-sixth
streets. The library board also wants N
street paved from Twenty-fourth street
east to Twenty-third street and so two
districts on this small stretch may be
needed.
Councilmen say that they do not favor
the laying Of any more sandstone pave
ment. Instead, they think that asphalt and
vitrifed brick will serve better and will
meet the approval of the people. However.
property owners are given the privilege OF
designating the pavement desired.

Moving the Hospital.

Arrangements are about completed for
the moving Of the South Omaha hospital
from Twenty-sixth and J streets to the
Brainerd building at Twenty-fourth and ID
streets. The removal will take place Tues
day. Those in charge have arranged mat
tiers so that the patients now in the insti-
tuition will not be Inconvenience to any
extent. In the Bralnerd building there is
a furnace and other modern improvements
and members OF the association hope to
give better service than could possibly be
given in the old building. An effort was
made to secure funds enough for the erec-
ton Of a hospital building here, but on
account of lack Of support this plan could
not be carried out. On account OF the eX-
pense caused by moving the association
needs money and will acknowledge any
contributions through the press.

to turn. There seems to be no motive
for the disappearance of Roberts and his

his silence. The intention is to keep up

is competent to handle a force Of the size
employed in South Omaha. What is needed
Is a larger appropriation for fire apparatus
and more money for the police fund. II
any request is made Of the Legislature this

As far as can be learned there is no

control Of the departments in question
