THOMAS BANN0N NOW SAYS
THOSE RIVETS ARE IN BAD
New Complainant in Case Brought
Against Caldwell e. Drake,
Court House Contractors.

Argument for an injunction against
Caldwell q Drake on the petition OF Percy
r. Covert could not come up before Judge
Sutton Tuesday morning because John F.
Stout OF counSe for the contractors is en-
gagged in a hearing Of the Baum-Bennett
Injunction proceedings before Judge Troup.
John o. Yeiser filed an affidavit in
district court bearing on the matter. The
affiant Is Thomas Bannon, who says he
has been an inspector Of the Northwestern
railroad for nine years and that March s
he examined s~eventy-five rivets in the
new court house building in a part OF the
work which the foreman declared com
pleted.
Bannon declares that more than 50 per
cent fof these examined rivets are defec-
tive and must be removed and replaced.
They are not DRIVEN says the affi-
davit, so as to fill up the holes; nor UP on
the back. nor snapped to the sheet on the
driving end. The iron is not drawn up to
Its place nor is it properly by
the said r~iveters, which makes the work
very dangerous as not giving the parts
where it is Joined the strength Of one con-
inuous BEAM
Improper heating of rlvets is charged and

C0NNELL WILL WELCOME

Received with Open Arms, Says
Omaha Health Commissioner.

Health Commissioner Connell says he has
not heard a word yet from washington
concerning the coming to Omaha OF Past
Assistant Surgeon L. l. Lunsden of the
public health and marine hospital service.
They may not notify me at all, but sezd
DR.. "Lunsden right on said the health
commissioner. When he comes, this depar.-
msnt will cooperate with him most will
ingly, in whatever investigation he may
decide to make. When the Douglas County
society asked me II 1 would have
any objection to such a move as has been
made, 1 said; Decidedly not; that this
department is as anxious as anyone possi-
bly, can be to have every investigation
made, and every step taken that may be
considered as contributing to a solution OF
our difficulty with the city water.
I'VE will welcome DIR. Lunsden and give
him every possible aid in anything he
may undertake. We only hope that he can
remain in Omaha and vicinity long enough
to complete a thorough investigation, and
II he can suggest a better remedy than has
already been contracted for by the water
company, this department will urge that IL

BIDS FOR INSURING CITY HALL
STILL IN J0HNS0N'S POCKET
They Are Tied Up by the Deadlock I'm
the Council as to ward
ing Contracts.

Councilman johnson, chairman Of the
committee on public property ard buildings
Of the city council, is still carrying around
In his pocket the bids submitted for in
surfing the city hall and contents.
These bids were turned over 10 Council
mar Johnson's committee more than two
weeks ago, but no meeting of the commit
toe has been called up to the present. 1t
is the custom Of the council committees to
bring before the committee of the whole, at
its meeting every Monday afternoon the
matters Of Importance which they may not
be able to agree on, but the insurance bids
have not been brought back to the council
In any shape since they were referred.
At the time the bids were tabulated many
Of the councilmCn thought they saw in
the uniformity OF premium demanded by
Omaha bidders a hint or a combine and
two or three were at that time openly in
favor of giving the insurance to the
O'Neill agency of South Omaha, which cut
in two, practically, the rates demanded by
all the Omaha bidders. Some others
thought only Omaha firms ought to be
considered, and this element was strong
enough to have the bids referred.
Now the councllmen favoring the low
bidder say that, TO be consistent, Johnson
cannot do otherwise than favor giving the
award Of the insurance to the South Omaha
firm. 1t is pointed out that when bids
were asked for dog tags two bids were
received, one being from the agent of an
outside firm located in Kansas City. The
latter firm offered to furnish the tags
for $60.1O, which was about $50 lower than
the local stamp making firm bid. johnson
insisted the outside firm get the award
and It was so ordered.

IN DEFENSE OF COLD STORAGE
Commercial Club President Takes a
Hand in Effort to Overcome Adj
verse Sentiment.

Cold storage is defended by Omaha bust
ness men who have had much experlenoe
in this line Of business aud statements are
being sent all over the country explaining
the necessity Of cold storage. In the matter
is taking the lead to overcome the
sentiment that has been aRalnst cold stor-
age.
Cold storage is a necessity saws David
Cole, chairman Of the executive COMMITTEES
OF the Commercial club. I'VE must pre-
serve the pc shable products In the time
OF plenty ag .lst the time of scarcity.
The housewife has long recognised this
l2~ In the preservation OF fruit and then
sealing in air-tight vessels, and for CEN
turtles the farmer has had practical cold
storage when he buried his apples, potatoes
and other vegetables In the ground and
covered them with straw and loose earth
to keep them from freezing.
The refrigerator of the home has long
been a necessity to the housewife. The
residence refrigerator does on q small
scale h cold storage houses do per-
fectly on a large scale.
Before cold storage facilities were
available, during the time OF plenty, prices
were extremely low to the producer. Dur
Ing the season OF scarcity, prices arose
AoPAuAg ahu were extremely niEn to the
consumer. Many classes Of perIshabls
products were not to be secured even at
extreme prices. The cold storage ware
house acts as a balance.
"Perishable products for cold storage
purposes are those produced ana stored dur
ing the season when the finest quality is
produced and available and these products
are carefully selected. are OF the highest
grade, packed and quickly handled in the
storage.
Gold storage places arc warehouses
whose facilities are at the m Of all
who have p~erlshable products to preserve
at rates uniform to ALL"
Thomas Fry Of the Booth Fisheries COM
pany, says: These ancient egg stories in
terest me. AS a, matter OF fact no egg can
be kept more than nine months In any cold
storage house. Storing products do not
make them any better, but storage pre-
serves the same as canning. No one claims
canned goods to be equal to the fresh, but
canning, like storage, is an effort to keep
the products in as good shape as possible"

ELEVEN GRADING JOBS LET
Work Will Be Done at Reasonable
Prices, Says Craig,
SEVERAL CONTRACTS GO BEGGING
NO offers ne All received for Num-
Der OF Large Pieces Of work
BIDS that Are In vary
widely.

Eleven contracts for street and alley
grading were let at the office Of the city
enginee Tuesday morning, Mr.. Craig end
his assistants say the prices bid are very
reasonable, but they we're somewhat sur
prised that no bids were received for sew
eral large Jobs Of grading.
In one case, involving the grading OF
Pratt street from Twenty-first to Twenty
fourth. e bid Of 2S cents a cubic yard took
the contract. whereas in several other
biddlngs on the same Job 80 cents was the
best bid offered.
Another difficult piece Of grading, in the
alleys between Twenty-ninth and Thirty
first and Martha and Ed Creighton avenue,
was let at 2sM cents, the first figure
within reason that the engineer has re-
ceived for this work.
The successful bidders Tuesday were Gust
Hamel, who secured nine contracts, all
small except the one covering Twenty-flfth
street and Twenty-fifth avenue from Pop
pleton to Hickory and Woolworth avenue
from Twenty-fourth to T~wenty-sixth. The
amount Of dirt to be handled here is $4,000

2Sh cents a yard and win handle 6i,OOo

No bids we're received for grading Forty
second, Emile to Bancroft, 1900 yards, or
for Cass, Thirty-third to Thirty-fifth, 11,7O0
yards. Like several other pieces, these
two rave been advertised many times with
out bringing any bids, grading contractors
seeming to think there is no chance to do
the work profitably.
