bob" EVANS IS DIsoeEDIENT
Report ls That Admiral May Lose
His Command as Result.


His Command as Result.
Fighting Bob" Evans. it has be-
came known, is decidedly on the outs
with the general naval board at Wash
ington. Serious friction exists be-
tween the admiral and the bureau Of
ficers who rank him. He has disre-
garded their orders and run things his
own way, they complain. The trouble,
coming as it does on the eve of the
cruise Of Rear Admiral's feet around
the Horn, has caused a sensation
among naval men and government Of
ficials. Naval circles in New York
fairly buzzed with gossip about it.
Only the peculiar position Of Flight
ing Bob" it is said. saved him from
official reprimand or perhaps court
martial. Another officer who treated
the board as Evans has would I'M
doubtedly have been called to the
front for explanation. But nothing
has been done in his case, because of
his unquestioned ability and the
public's deep affection for him.

STRIKE
NEAR END
UNION TELEGRAPHERS
BREAK BACKTOWORK.
PRESIDENT SMALL SAYS THERE
is NO MONEY TO CONTINUE
FIGHT.

Following the visit to New York Of
Labor Commissioner Neill, President
Small of the commercial telegraphers'
union took decisive steps to close the
telegraphers' strike. He sent the fol-
lowing telegram to all Of the leading
cities of the country:
New York-Prominent officials of
New York have appealed to me to
make efforts to call the strike OF. All
efforts at settlement are exhausted and
the telegraph company officials say
they will fight to a finish. The treas
ury is depleted, and no more funds
are available. Requests for relief
from all sides are heavy and urgent.
The general assembly cannot meet
them. The strike having been order
ed without the presidents sanction,
recommend that locals vote on the
proposition. SAMUEL J. SMALL"
Operators to whom the news of the
order to vote became known expressed
the opinion however, that their cause
is by no means lost on, The uuion
will be preserved and strengthened
they say.
Small explained his unwillingness to
say anything mere by insisting that
he did not wish to influence the vote
of locals in any way.
New Workers. Not With Small.
New York-Daniel l.. Russell, chair
man of the strikers board of strategy,
says that President Small had said
nothing to the members of the local
board regarding his recommendation
either before or after the same was
made public. Mr.. Russell said that he
had protested against the strike in the
beginning, but at the same time had
said that If 1t was declared he would
support It to the end. This promise,
he said, he had kept, and he would
never ask the strikers to 60 to work
unless they received material con-
cessiOns.
Chicago Operators Indignant.
Chicago-President Small's order
for vote on the proposition of the
striking telegraphers returning to
work aroused a storm of wrath here.

the executive committee of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Union of Ameri-
ca President Small was suspended.
The following message was sent to
President Small by the executive COM

NORTH PLATTE CITY AFFAIRS
Election on water Franchise L. Called
for June.

Election on Water Franchise L. Called
for June.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb.. May a-fspe-
cial Tho last session Of the city council
lasted until o'clock this morning. The
old council wound up its affairs and the
new was organized and the new city ON
GERS sworn in. After certain routine bust
ness the question of saloon licenses came
up and licenses were granted to ell those
who conducted saloons here during the
last year. The new applicant was Nicko-
laus Kirsch OF Grand Island.
Dispute arose upon the application Of the
Union Pacific to have certain streets va
Gated and others opened for the accommo-
dalton Of the track extension and improve
ments planned by the railroad The rail-
road made no offers to grade the streets
to be opened in lieu Of the already graded
streets which the railroad desires vacated.
and some Of the councilmen insisted that
the railroad should put these streets in as
good shape as those which they required to
be vacated
The main fight OF the evening came up
when the water works corporation that
owns the city plant here asked the council
to pass an ordinance making a new con
tract for twenty years, as the old contract
expires next year. This ordinance was
prepared in Pennsylvania by the expert
attorneys of the North Platte Water Works
company, which owns a large number OF
water works plants throughout the coun-
try, and the terms OF the proposed ordi-
nance were entirely favorable to that cor
poration. The city council, however, de-
cided to refer the matter to a vote Of the
people and a special election will be held
June Is for that purpose. The prevalent
sentiment here has been for municipal
ownership Of the city water works but the
present plant is regarded as behind the
times, poorly located and inefficient, and.
besides, the water works company demands
a fabulous price for Il. The condition Of
things now indicates a strong fight on the
question OF granting the twenty-year fran
chise, with odds against It. as the attitude
OF the entire council seemed to be opposed
TO anything that would bar municipal own
ership. and this attitude quite well reflects
the sentiment Of the major portion Of the
citizens Of this city.
