SAN JUAN, P. r., Jan. 12.-The insular
legislature convened today and organized
to hear Governor Hunts message.
At the joint session Of both houses TO be
held tomorrow the legislature will recon-
nerd that the island surrender ~ claim
to those public lands which may be set
aside by President Roosevelt for national
purposes and will grant sites for Ameri-
can stations here and at Culebra. 1t Is
understood that his is in consonance with
a plan for the location Of naval stations
which has been effected by Washington.
The failure to provide for naval stations
last year was due to the refusal OF Porto
Rico to surrender the desired territory
without compensation.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Goal Situation has Become a Serious
Feature Of Life.
PACKING HOUSES RUN ON SHORT SUPPLY
Amount on Hand Hardly More Than
Enough for a Single Days
Consumption and Little
in sight.

The coal situation in South Omaha is
really precarious. The packers are begin
ming to wonder where they will get enough
to keep the boilers going. At the Cudahy
plant there is very little steam coal on
hand, at swift's the situation is a little
better, but at Armour's and the Omaha
there is only a days supply on hand. In
quiry in the yards last night showed that
there was only two days supply Of coal
on hand. Instead Of the usual receipt Of
sixty cars last night, only forty cars came
in and these will be used up before another
twenty-four hours rolls around.
The rule of the packers now is to buy all
coal in sight and pay what is asked for 1t.
One Of the packing house managers said
that he did not lay the blame so much on
the railroads as he did on the miners.
But it is a fact that packers have bought
coal and had representatives see the same
loaded and these cars would be diverted or
confscated en- route. For nearly two weeks
now little IL any bituminous coal has been
unloaded here, although all OF the local
dealers have orders in from a dozen diff
feTent mines.
Anthracite coal is being quoted here al
SIC per ton, with none to sell, while I'LL
nois coal, usually sold below S., is now
being sent out at 1915 a ton and there Il
little OF that to be had.
Poor people are suffering to some extent
and it has devolved upon the charity com.
mittee Of the council to provide means e
supply coal for INDECENT persons. Efforts
are being made by many to secure wood
but this is scarce and it begins to look as
II there will soon be a sure-enough Goa
famine unless the railroads bring in sup.
plies.

WALKER DROPS HIS PROTEST
Last Of the Brewery Licenses Are Given Out
by E1oi e Board
ONLY FOUR APPLICATIONS ARE WAITING
saiCoumen Who Did Not Advertise
Early Enough Have Not Yet Been
Given Permission TO sell
Liquor.

Vic 3. Walker was not present at the
meeting OF the Board OF Fire and Police
commissioner last night to push his pro-
test against the issuance Of certain liquor
licenses applied for by the Storz Brewing
company. Instead there was presented a
communication to which Walkers name
was signed and In which II was briefly
stated that he withdrew all objection and
consented TO the issuance Of the licenses.
Thereupon the board approved the bonds
and granted the fifteen licenses which had
been held up by the Walker protests. This
disposed OF all Of the pending remonstrance
and leaves but four applications still TO be
acted upon. the delay in those cases being
due to the fact that the publication Of the
required legal notices has not been COM
pleted. The applications are those OF
George w. Tierney, 1101 South Ninth street;
/. J. Kramer, 1919 Jackson street; Charles
Metz, 105 South Twelfth street, and Henry
Rolf, 15G7-9 Capitol avenue. when these
are all granted, as # u expected they will
be. there will be one more saloon than
last year.
The licenses granted in favor Of the diff
ferent brewing companies are divided as
follows: Metz Bros. Brewing company. 81:

The application Of V. B. Walker to con
duct a saloon at 1314-1316 Dodge street wal
denied for the reason that the petition hst
not the required number of signers.
In compliance with an order OF Judge
Baxter OF the district court the board
directed that a transcript be made OF tbs
testimony in the protest Of Beard Bros. and
others against the granting OF a license Il
N. V. Halter, 1902 Douglas street.
In the capacity of Fire and Police com
mission the board considered the case o
S. E.. Brown, who, while employed as
police o%ficer, was injured in the elevatol
at the Board OF Trade building some eigh
months ago. Brown, stating that he would
still be unable to walk a beat for thirty o.
sixty days to come, had applied to tn
board for some employment that would no
require him to be upon his feet so much
but would pay him some salary. He wa
assigned to duty in the Health department
where he will be required to work but hal

Blue Prints Furnished.

Late yesterday afternoon members Of the
street and alley committee we're presented
with blue prints, showing the changes de-
sired made in the lands in the western
part of the city. A request is made that
Thirty-sixth street from l street south to
L street be vacated. For this property
the South Omaha Land company agrees to
dedicate to the city thirty feet on the west
side of Boyd street between the north and
south streets mentioned. In coming in
from the north Thirty-sixth street makes
a jog at l street, while Boyd street con-
tinues on south. This jog is worthless to the
city at the present time. The ground the
land company proposes deciding to the city
for this hollow is Blled ground and can
be utilized, so it is stated, for buildings
or trackage as desired. The amount Of
ground to be acquired by the railroads and
the lane company in excess Of that to be
dedicated for the widening Of Boyd street
will amount to less than one acre.
While the street and alley committee has
not looked into the matter yet, 1t is in
ferred that a favorable report will be rem
dered on the proposition.

No Council Meeting.

There was no quorum Of the council last
night and the mayor did net even order
the roll called, consequently the next meet
ing of the city fathers will be held one
week from last night. It was stated that
the reason for no quorum was the lack Of
business. The finance committee looked
over the reports and decided that there was
nothing to DO and, as the chairmen of other
committees had nothing to report, 1t was
decided that there was no necessity for a
meeting. OF this decision, however, Mayor
Koutsky was kept in the dark. He fully
expected a meeting and~a report on some
communications now in the hands of com
mittees. City Attorney Murdoch was also
present and was ready to present to the
council an ordinance providing for a meat
inspector for the city Of South Omaha.
This ordinance will now have to go over
for one week unless a special meeting is
called, and this the mayor will hardly
sanction, as he was present at the time Of
roll call last night, when all of the mem
bers of the council we're absent.
