WILSON GIVES PRAISE TO
STRAUS AS A CANDIDATE

SEA GIRT, N. j., Sept. 8--Strong
praise for the nomination of Oscar s.
Straus as the progressive party's guber-
material candidate in New York came
from both Governor Woodrow Wilson
and Vice Chairman William @. McAdoo
of the democratic national committee,
who were in conference here tonight.
-.e nomination Is an admirable one
and will put us on our mettle," the
governor had remarked earlier in the
day.
The governor has repeatedly refrained
from discussing the democratic guber-
natorial situation in New York state
and would not alter his course today.
1t is known, however that he is look
ing forward with keen interest to the
outcome Of the state convention at SYRIA
cuse in October. No definite word has
escaped him, other than, perhaps, to his
intimate advisers, as to his attitude,
but some Of these advisers are known
to hold the belief that his friends In
New York would resist any attempt on
the part of the Tammany organization
or any other to dictate the gubernatoriai
nomination.

CHICKENS TO Be AUCTIONED
This Plan ID to Be One Of the Fea-
lures 0 fthe Poultry Show.
MANY ENTRIES RECEIVED
Game Warden Miller Has Consented
to BrinE the wild Game Bird
Exhibit from Lincoln TO
the SHOW.

Those entering fowl in the chicken show
to be held in the Auditorium September
90 to October s. are to have the privilege
of bringing also some of their bloded
chickens to be sold at an auction that Is
to be daily conducted In the Auditorium
in connection with the show. Those who
exhibit birds will then be allowed to bring
others to be sold, with no charge except
coop fee. In other words they will not
be charged the regular entrance fee for
the birds they bring to sell, but will be
charged merely what the rent of the coop
ls worth for the few days This daily
auction of blooded birds is now looked
upon by those in charge as something
that will prove one of the most attractive
features of the show, unless indeed, the
spring chicken dinners to be served in the
basement should be more popular.
State Game Warden Miller is to be In
Omaha within a week to confer with the
promoters of the show with regard to a
request the local men made to have the
group of various wild fowl exhibited at
the state fair transported to Omaha for
the chicken show. A group Of wild game
fowl has for years been one Of the fea-
lures of the Nebraska state fair, where
they have been allowed to roam at their
will in q small enclosure, where lake
was provided for the water fowl among
the group.
The entries for the show will close Sep
tember II. A large number Of entries
were received by representatives of the
Omaha show who spent last week at the
state fair In Lincoln talking the Omaha
chicken show to the fowl fanciers at
that place. The work among the chicken
men of the Iowa state fair at Des Moines
a few weeks ago was also very salts
factory
The silver cups for the prizes have been
purchased. A representative from one Of
the large wholesale jewelry houses of Min
neapolis has been In Omaha comforting
with the managers Of the local show, who
have selected the cups from his large
assortment at a considerable cost.

SUMMER SERVICES LAGGE
Rev. 0. D. Baltzly Reports Increased
Attendance at Kountze Memorial.
EVENING SERVICES RESUMED
Sunday school Has Also Been Enjoy
ing Large Attendance DuriBR
the Sumer Months-Choir IL
in It's Place.

Summer attendance at the Kountze
Memorial church, TNenty-sixth Avenue
and Farnam street, has been the largest
in years, according to Rev. o. d.
Baltzly. pastor in charge Evening SER
vices were discontinued during the sum-
mer, but morning attendance figures
show that from 400 to 800 church goers
were on hand every Sunday. II is plan
ned to resume the evening services next
Sunday. ...
In the Kountze Sunday school, Superin-
tendent Oscar p. Goodman reports an
increased enrolment of 40 per cent over
last summer and that the average at
tendance of pupils during the warm
months this year was around the 400
mark. This record is considered q most
creditable one as many of the Sunday
school workers have had to contend with
numerous empty class pews during the
last three months.
Under the direction Of 10 #. Barton the
Kountze Memorial choir resumed activt-
ties on the first Sunday In September
with an enrolment of forty voices,
twenty-five feminine and fifteen male
choristers. Some elaborate music has
been arranged for the fall and winter
and rehearsals will be held regularly in
order to carry ~--- this plan.
''The Baseness Of Ingratitude" was the
topic OF Rev. Mr.. Baltsly's sermon at
the morning services yesterday, the text
being the seventeenth chapter of the
gospel according to st. Luke. Rev. MIR.
Baitzly told the story Of the ten lepers.
who were healed Of their disease by the
Saviour and of how only one of the num-
ber returned to thank God, while the
others hurried away. He compared the
action of the nine depers who did not
give thanks with the attitude of many
people OF the present day, who are con-
stantly receiving the Lords benefits and
yet, who fall to show any signs of ap-
probation.

Shocking Reports
Of Nicaragua Come
Into Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Shocking re-
ports of famine and sickness, brigandage
and brutality in the rebel zone in Mica
ragua, sent to the outside world by cour-
iers, are beginning to reach the State de-
partment and are being referred to the
attention Of the American Red Cross.
At Granada, it is reported the victori-
Gus rebel troops have ccnfiscated all food
supplies for the revolution and while be-
ing well fed themselves, are permitting
the noncombatants to die in the streets
Railroad and telegraphic communica-
tion to the city are cut off by the rebels.
They probably will be restored this week
by the marine force under Colonel Pen
dleton. When full reports are available
officials expect to verify and complete
meager reports of starvation and horrors
of uncivilized warfare. ...
The American. Red Cross already has
made a cash contribution of $1,000 When
conditions in Granada are more fully
known the aid probably will be increased.
The society's officers think they can do
this without appealing for public contri-
buttons

ROTATION FOR METER READERS
They VIII BE Given Districts in

as to Time.

A complete new system of billing and
! collections is being forced upon the Water
board by the compulsory installation of
meters so that water consumers will
hereafter have to step up to the cashier $
window once a month instead of twice a
year.
| The meters are being put in at the
rate Of between forty and fifty day,
and 1t is expected that 5000 will be in
stalled before the ground freezes. AS
there were to be upwards Of 1900 meter
services to be- put in altogether under
the new order, the prospect Is that 1t will
be we'll into next summer before the bill
ing is all by the meter measurements.
I'VE are just beginning to discover
what these changes mean," said one Of
the water board spokesman. I'VE find
we have to have more office help to take
care Of the extra bookkeeping and make
out monthly bills instead of semigannual
bills and receipts. ...- ..'
1--WE will have to organize also larger
force of meter readers to make inspec-
tions, By dstricting the city and arranging
the accounts by districts, we believe We
can have the meters read monthly in, one
district, say between the first and tenth
Of the month, in another between the
tenth and the twentieth, and another be-
tween the twentieth and thirtieth, and
make the bills corresponding payable
one-third Of them every ten days This
is the way the electric lighting company
and the gas company handle their busi-
ness and there is no reason why we
should not profit by their experience
BY such a district system we could keep
our meter readers and office force busy
all the time, and hold down the number
instead of rushing them the first of the
month, and leaving them half idle in be-
tween times. ~
THE metering of the service ought to
make unnecessary the continuous inspec-
tion heretofore required, where the
houses have been rated according to size
and number Of faucets. The water COM
pany had to keep q, crew of inspectors
out all the time making the rates for
new houses and checking up to see
whether more faucets or plumbing at
tachments were being added for which an
increase in the rate would be due.
"Metered water should always make It
unnecessary to watch folks who waste
water or to notify people to turn off the.
hose. We are discovering, however. that
we cannot do everything planned at once.
and that all these changes will have to
be slow"

Taft gave most Of his time yesterday to
politics. He discussed the national situa-
Sheldon of the republican national COM
| mittee, talked over political affairs In
Connecticut with Charles r. Brooker, ma
tional mmitteeman, and ]. III. Rora-
back state chairman; listened to the re-
publican news from Rhode Island from
former Congressman Sheffield, the ma
tional committeeman from that state,
and General Wilson, the state chair
man, and heard what Massachusetts is
doing from Charles Hatfield, republican

| A few minutes later the president was

he was busy in conference. He was still
suffering today from his lame ankle, al
though it showed improvement.
Statement by Hilles.
Chairman Hilles tonight issued a for
NAL statement before departing, declar-
Ing he has found conservative business
| men to be for the reelection Of Mr., Taft
because of his record as an economical
chief executive.
Mr.. Sheldon, it was said, gave the
president encouraging news of the cam
paign funds.
The statement of Mr. Hlles which
met the approval of the president and
Mr.. Sheldon, is as follows:
Il find that conservative business men
look with favor on the candidacy Of
Presiden Taft for reelection because he
has been a conscientious and successful
administrator Of the finances of the gov
ernment. Usually public official who
imposes check on expenditure finds that
he has performed a thankless task. IL
is not sufficiently spectacular stunt to
lay hold of the imagination. The situa-
ton In the treasury with which President
Taft was confronted was very different
from that which confronted Mr.. Roose-
welt when he became the president. Mr..
Roosevelt in 1901 assumed charge of a
government whose ordinary disburse-
ments for that fiscal year were A71, ,19O,-
$50 The receipts for that year were S9l,-
100000 In excess Of the disbursements.
Public Expenses Grow.
THE aggregate Of public expenditure
increased steadily for several years un"
der Mr.. Roosevelt During the last year
of his administration the total Of the cur
rent operating expenses had attained the
unprecedented figure of s662, IA and
during that year there was deficit Of
s5S, ,OO0.0O0. Thus, by ignoring opportuni-
ties for effecting economies and intro
ducing efficiency PresidesI roosevelt had
