ONCE LIVED IN OMAHA
Booster of Eagles Dwelt Here When
Quite a Kid.
COMES TO PUSH FOR CONVENTION
He is the Man who Distributed Large
Funds for the Order Among
the San Francisco Fire
Sufferers,

John S. Parry of San Francisco Is in
Omaha this week as the representative of
the grand officers of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles. He will inquire into the extent
OF hotel facilities, investigate suitability
of the convention hall and matters of that
kind and make report thereon to Grand
President Monaghan and the board of
grand trustees. Mr.. Parry will be here the
balance of the week. the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Tuthill.
This travelling representative of the grand
worthy president is a big man, strong
looking and soldbpa trifle on the fiery
blonde order. HaytDg had a large expert
ence as a diplomat and trouble settler, he
carries something of the air OF authority.
but as assistant grand president to Theo
dore A. Bell during his regime, Parry
proved himself a very competent offlc,
man, too. Bell set out to place the Eagi
order on a higher and more solid basis a
to membership. He Travelled about all tn
time, lacking up quiescent aeries, revoking
charters anywhere and everywhere thai
cause for such drastic action appeared to
exist, and daily making his subordinates
sit up and open their eyes. Parry was his
active understudy at home, while Bell was
doing the surgical act among the dead or
undesirable membership, and he won high
c~ommendation for the way in which he
discharged that duty.
Disbursed Relief Fund.
AS assistant grand worthy president, Mr..
Parry disbursed a great many thousands
of dollars in relief funds at the time Of
the San Francisco earthquake. He handled
the money in a mastery manner, as after
meeting every call that had merit he was
able to turn back into the grand aerie
treasury several thousand dollars. Every
penny was accounted for, and not a dollar
went astray. He knows how to handle
finances as we'll as men, and in the latter
field he has had wide experience as a
director and employer OF labor.

Protection of Foreigners and
Proper Function of Real
Party Leadership.

NEW YORK. March 1O.-1he members
of the Republican club and the alumni
of Hamilton college united tonight to do
honor to Elihu Root at a banquet. Among
those who spoke were Rev. DR.. Woolsey
Stryker. president of Hamilton college;
Ex-Governor Frank S. Black and ex-Mayor
Seth Low. Senator Root. when he arose
to reply TO the eulCgistic speeches. re-
ceived an ovation. He referred in his
address to the change of administration
that has Just occurred in this country,
saying: IL call your attention to the
almost sublime spectacle, the peaceful
transfer of the great powers of govern
ment.
1.-THE simple ceremony of last Thursday
accomplished a result that in days gone
by was made by bioodshed and strife,
We may congratulate each other upon
the fact that in, obedience to the UNI
written law thst sets a limit on the term
of the chief magistrate a republican
president who had another term in his
grasp and the continuance Of the power
within his control, has voluntarily laid
down the power that another might take
II up."
Protection of Foreigners.
Mr.. Root referred to President Tafts
inaugural address, declaring that one
thing that appealed especially to him
was that this nation ought to enforce its
obligations of treaties within Its W
territories.
"As our trade, wealth and travel in for
eign lands increases" he said, 1--WE are
rubbing elbows with all the nations of
the world. We are becoming involved
in more mutual relations with every
other country. We must respect the
rights OF trade. travel and business. Our
constitutional government gives the fed
eral government the right to protect
treaties. Our congress, through the fed
eral court. respects the rights and prop
critics of Europeans and Asiatics
throughout the United states. A for
eigner can sue TO recover debts and de-
mand the protection of his rights. Our
congress, however, has not given him the
protection in the federal courts of Grim
inal jurisdiction. His life and liberty
are entrusted to the protection of the
states, and when maltreated, innocent
foreigners and the sacred rights of
treaties are set at naught; our govern
ment is bound to answer for it's failure
to keep it's promises. I hope New York
will exercise its influence TO have our
national government make laws 10 keep
it's word and enforce it's promises"
After further tribute TO President Taft,
Mr.. Root made mention of the republi-
can leadership in this state.

VOTE BONDS, SAYS EXCHANGE
Give 81 ,500,0 900 for Water Plant is
Realty Mems Choice.
MYSTERIOUS SYNDICATE EXPOSED
wead says He Was Approached and
sbOIes says the Company Seek
ing Purchase Has the
Money.

After exposing the efforts Of a 'syndi-
cate none OF whose members was named,
to buy the plant OF the Omaha Water
company before the city of Omaha can
secure It or get a decision from the SUI
preme court. the Omaha Real Estate ex-
change adopted resolutions Wednesday
~fsvoring the voting of Sc, 5O0,O 900 OF bonds
to buy the plant.
F. D. wead told the first story OF how
he had been asked by certain parties
to sign a petition which would urge the
legislature to grant the Water board power
TO extend the franchise Of the water com
pany without giving the people an oppor-
tunity Nto vote on it. Another party"
called on Mr.. wead and told him that a
large amount Of water bonds had been Sc
cured by the local syndicate" at SO. cents
on the dollar, ana Mr.. wead saw a rea-
son for the agitation which has sprung
up to compromise the suit with the water
company and arrive at some settlement.
These men who are interested in taking
over the water plant are well known said
ID. V. Sholes. Their proposition is simply
this: They have the money and the city
does not happen to have $6y50O,OOO to pay
for the water plant. The syndicate pro-
poses TO buy the plant, operate 1t, take 6
per cent for the money it invests and
divide the profits with the city"
This statement Of one of the propositions
of the mysterious syndicate brought
protests from w. T. Graham, F. ID. Wead,
d. G. Patterson and w. w. Wallace.
The discussion occupied over an hour.
The s6,500.000 was represented by w. T.
Graham and w. W. Wallace to be nothing
for the city to worry over considered as a
debt, as the income from the plant would
pay the interest and eventually pay the
bonds.

RAP At SWITCHING DISTRICT
Missouri Pacific Makes Another At.

WANTS TO CUT OUT PORTAL

tive end Therefore BELT Line
District shOuId Not ne
EHtepded Here.

. &C more the Missouri Pacific railway
will attempt TO eliminate a few miles Of
Omaha's switching district. after failing
10 do so a year ago before the Nebraska
Railway commission.
P~ortal-httle more than q station on the
Belt Line railway. which the Missouri Pa
ciffo leases-is the end OF the switching dis
trict. The charge for bringing a car from
that point, southwest OF Omaha, to the
breakup track or any point on the lire is
IS. This is a switching tariff.
The contention OF the Missouri Pacific
IL that the charge is not remunerative. But
the road maintains in the same breath
that there is no business between Omaha
and Portal. 1t claims to be losing money
on switching cars TO Portal and is willing
to swear that it don't have any cars to
move between the two points.
On this contention COMMISSIONS Guild
OF the Commercial club argued the propo-
sition before the State Railway commits
sion q year ago and won out, the commits
sion refusing to permit the railway to
substitute its regular mileage tariff for
the switching tariff from Portal.
CouId NO Lose Much.
Mr.. Guild held that IL the company was
not pulling cars from that point, IL could
not be losing much money, because the
charge was unreunuherative and that the
switching district should be maintained be-
cause industries might be located on the
Belt line at any time which would be made
possible because of the reasonable switch
ins charges.
The commission agreed with MIR. Guild.
Now the same question must be gone
over again. apparently
Since the decision industries have been
located by reason OF the activities of the
Commercial club, four miles this side OF
Portal. The railway seeks to charge these
Industries the mileage tariff, which is four
times the amount of the switching tariff
on the average.
The Commercial club, through its COM
missioner, will take the same position as
Il took a year ago, but the opinion among
shippers is that the railway commission
should not ever hear the case, having once
decided that the switching district Of
Omaha should stand as it is.
The Missouri Pacific is said 20 be %institut-
ing the. hearing at the instigation of an
other line. which does not want the charges
for switching to remain at 81 per car, and
this the commercial interests resent.

St. Joseph Hospital
Addition Doubled
New Wing Will Cost Nearly Twice
as Much as Originally Con-
templated.

Since the beginning of the construction
work on the addition to the st. Joseph
hospital, the plans have been materially
changed and nearly twice as much money
will be spent on the new structure as was
originally contemplated.
The first permit taken out was for a
building to cost $4,000, but this will be in
creased to 100000. The limit set in the
first permit has not yet been reached and
the additional permit will probably not
be issued until next month. The practical
doubling Of the addition is lone to allow
the installation Of more boilers, providing
for more and larger operating rooms, and
other alterations.
The addition will be much larger than
the original building.
