and power rates in Omaha are not justi-
fed by the cost of production. it is my in
tention to do all l can to bring about a
reduction" said President Zimman. THE
report of the city electrician, honestly
made, will give the city officials authentic
information to work on"
City Attorney Breen says he believes the
city has the right to enforce fair and
reasonable" charges by the electric light
company. He has not given the matter
the careful investigation that lawyer
uses in the preparation of an opinion, but
from general knowledge speaks as quoted.
Il shall exert myself to the utmost to
make this report reliable, impartial and
exhaustive" said City Electrician Michael
sen. Il shall begin work on 1t at once,
probably first collecting all the statistics
and data that the federal government may
have compiled. This will be supplemented
by inquiries direct TO city officials and by
all other trustworthy means that can be
brought to bear"
Mayor Moores said he was glad to hear
of the move. "If the electric street light
ing contract had come up to me-" said
his honor, II would not have signed 1t
until satisfied that the private consumer
is getting fair treatment. l hope the re-
port will be unbiased and complete"
VIII Insist on HOye Ordinance.
Although the gas company has voluntarily
announced the reductions in charges to
consumers, as promised, there is nothing
to indicate that the contract matter is
settled at the city hall. The council mi
nority still declares that the Hoye ordi-
nance, which makes the reductions a con-
dition of the S2S street lighting agreement,
must be passed. Mayor MoOres sides with
the minority and expresses the hope that
the Hoye ordinance will pass With City
Attorney Breen and other officials he be-
lieYes IL Is good business craft to have
| the full understanding in writing,
Questions have been raised as TO the
| legality of the Hoye ordinance in connec-
1 tion with the gas franchise, which allows
| higher rates than those enumerated" said
| President Zimman. This apprehension 1
| do not believe is warranted. The ordinance
simply directs the terms of the contract,
| asks nothing more than the gas company
has conceded, and II signed by both par
| ties, of course, will be binding. 1t is good,
! however, only for fve years and has a
proviso letting the city back out after four
| years If 1t wants to put in a municipal
| plant. All that Is wanted Is a plain, bust
! ness mans contract"

partment was S2,SS566 and the income for

the mayor was fooled on the Bedford stone
deal and signed for it, He now admits
his mistake. The reason for the delay is
due TO the fact that the local agents sim

Before the council Friday morning City

Ing car accommodations. At the last
minute they found out that they must take
an upper berth or none. They discussed
the matter with the porter and pleaded in
front of Kermit's berth.
The boy was awakened. He heard the
conversation. Looking out he saw the
age of the couple and guessed their in
hrmtties. He did not hesitate, but called
out in boyish voice:
Take my berth, please I can sleep as
well in the upper as the lower"

The couple waveringly protested. Young
Roosevelt was firm and to clinch matters
had the porter prepare the upper berth.
An instant later a small "pajamaed" figure
swung up through the curtains and tum-
bled into the upper berth.
The old man was a gentleman. He still
stood on courtesy and asked the boy to
reconsider.

internal ECONOMY Abroad.

Speaking of his observations of the in
ternal economy of France and Switzerland,
where he spent some time, Senator Millard
said:
THE thing that mainly impresses the
observer in those countries, France espe-
cially. is the consistent economy Of the
people. 1t may with profit be commended
TO our own people. There is nothing so
striking in Europe as the economy prac-
ticed by the French people. II is natural
and of daily practice. as much a part of
their life as anything they have. We
waste more than will sustain them, and
yet they live well. Our study of this sub
ject has hardly begun"
Asked about the possible time OF opening
the campaign he contemplates In Nebraska
the senator said with a deprecating smile:
1T is entirely too early to talk OF It, and
no one wants to talk OF 1t yet. We are
getting along very nicely. Let us wait
until the tide comes in. Harvesting wheat
and gathering an immense corn crop, the
people of Nebraska are too busy to con-
slider such things. When the time comes, all
right; but not now"

PIaye9 Game.

In a loosely-plkye game. in which
individual efforts were more FREEDOM
inant than team work, the local high
school footballk eleven defeated the
Bayonnc high &ehool boys by a score
of II TO 0 yq&terday. The teams
weighed abouk the same both on the
line and in TIE back field.
A stiff ~northwest wind blew across
the large UNPROTECTED field north of
the Rarltan "copper" Works which
made puntIng difficult. Another
great hindrtnce was the swarming
out on the held of hundreds of boys
who gathered closely about the play
ers and prevented more than one end
run from succeeding.
Neither team scored in the first
half, The ball was perilously neal
both danger points at times but, on
the defensive, both teams held well.
The teams took only a short rest be-
tween halves because there was to
be another game afterwards between

and attacks on tackle, advanced the
ball to sBayonne's two-yard line, and
on the next play, w. Hornsby was
pushed over the line for the first
touchdown. He also kicked the goal.
The hundreds of Amboy rooters yell

voices were as loud as those of the

The teams then took the opposite
ends of the gridiron and, after four
minutes more, w. Hornsby, with
hardly any interference on the final
run, went around Bayonne's left end
for another touchdown. He also
kicked this goal.
