Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-09-03

Senator Burkett spent the greater part of
the morning talking to smaller groups here
and there about the club, house, all of
which is a perfectly proper thing for a
senatorial candidate to do.
w. b. Rowland and e. II. Abbott were
also in and out of the lobby during the
morning. Mr. Rowland was taken by Glenn
ent Chase TO his home during the morning,
but Mr.. Abbott, doomed to suffer like
ordinary mortals who are not members
OF presidential parties, spent most of the
morning hours in dentists chair
Ex-Governor Sheldon who spent some
time, with the colonel in Mississippi and
Louisiana a few years ago, was also on
hand to greet his friend. although he did
not go to the club house until late in the
morning. In addition to the dignitaries from
outside the city, all Omaha's biggest men
were on hand, and for the time being
these men, who are Omaha's most success
full business men, politicians and profess
sional men, dropped the routine OF business
to pay a tribute to the country's first
citizen. AS Ex-Governor Sheldon put IT,
'SThe reception which Mr.. Roosevelt has
had here today shows the place he occupies
in the hearts of the American people"

Strange Tales
Told by DoIliver
Big Men of Affairs Swap Yarns
While Colonel Roosevelt
is Resting.

The Omaha club. where the distinguished
ex-president spent the morning hours, is not
new at the business OF entertaining digni-
taries. In fact, 1t is doubtful II there is a
roof in the city which has sheltered more
famous men than has the Omaha clubs
roof. Presidents Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft have made the club house their head
quarters on visits to the city, and of late
years the place has been known the THE
Home of the Presidents"
The group of men in the lobby OF the
club house Friday morning were by no
means a less distinguished group than has
assembled there on other occasions when
Omaha had men of national reputation as
its guests. Senator Dolliver of Iowa was
In and out OF the club house all morning.
This man, whose name was on the lips of
every person who read the papers during
the last session of congress, is an inveterate
story teller, and he stood, hat tilted back
on his head and his body bent well forward
constantly a group OF men about him, lis
tening TO his stories, for the tales which he
tells are good ones and do not depend for
their charm on the fact that the man who
tells them is a big man.
Senators Burkett and Brown also lin.
gered in the lobby after their talks with
the visitor. Senator Brown was in a happy
mood and every person who came into tn,
lobby whom he had either known previously
or TO whom he was introduced. received thi
] heartiest sort OF handelasp and greetings

and jumped off bridge after the meeting
Now. l don't know what discouraged that
man; whether II was my picture of the
dangers Of graft or fear OF the democrats"
Later, to a reporter for The Bee, the
Iowa senator said of the Wisconsin situa-
ton: Bob has them sewed up, nothing
less. He expects to carry every legislative
district in the state, If things go as they
are going now. But there is a queer ele-
ment in the Wisconsin fight. The issue is
spring water, from a town near Milwaukee,
that prides itself on an ambition to say Of
its water what Milwaukee has long been
saying of it's beer. Yes. spring water is an
issue in Wisconsin, and the senator smoth-
cred his face In his hands again.
Delivers eyes show but little trace to-
day OF the ailment he suffered from for
several months. He is now filling all his
engagements. and later on will be heard
in Nebraska on behalf Of Senator Burkett
and the republican ticket He was urged
to remain In Omaha throughout the day
and evening, but could not accept anything
but the invitation to take luncheon at the
Field club, as he leaves for home during
the afternoon.

part OF the decorations put on for the
Roosevelt luncheon. Placed around on the
floor and concealing the musicians were a
number OF palms, whose dark green shows
off splendidly against the brightness of the
national colors.
At each end OF the hall a portrait OF the
distinguished visitor was hung and SO
placed that all of the diners could SEQ them.
Colonel Roosevelt was placed at the first
OF the four long tables Of the hall, his
seat being at the central point of this table,
SO that when he stood he was facing all
without necessitating anyone moving his
seat. The colonel drew seat number 1916
by this arrangement.
American Beauties were used exclusively
in the flower decorations, the blood red col
ors matching well with tho Flags draped
above. Upon each table were a number Of
baskets Of Nebraska fail fruits, bringing a
touch OF real nature and freshness Of tone
into the appearance of the room.

1t is evident that Senator Jonathan p.
Dolliver, who claims Fort Dodge, Ia, as
his abiding place. has not yet awakened to
the fact that he is dwelling within a few
hundred miles OF real metropolis or else
the distinguished orator has forgotten that
metropolises and formal dinners go hand
In hand. At any rate the senator forgot
his evening clothes when he packed his
grip for the trip that eventually brought
him TO Omaha, and 1t looked for a while
this morning as though the much maligned
derby and the business suit which the sen
ator wore would have TO serve at the dinner
last night also.
Postmaster Thomas, however. came TO the

USE RADIUM WHEN
THE COAL is GONE,
HIS BRIGHT IDEA

WASHINGTON, April g.
Further testimony regarding

zeal expert, testified that coal

would supply consumers for
a,ot3 years 10 come, al the pres
ent rate Of consumption.
In making this estimate,
Brooks excluded Alaska and
the American insulsr posses
slons.
Brooks said that, figuring az
the present rate Of increase,
the consumption Of available
coal would be exhausted In
from 100 20 200 years.
Representative Madison re-
marked that this indicated that
there was a necessity for con-
serVation.

"Yes, or use radlum," said
Brooks.
Brooks declared that the
whole future Of Alaska was In

"The people are leaving there

added.
