Look Further For
Bathing House Site

The Common Council committee on
Miscellaneous. matters has been en-
powered to look further for a site
for a public bath house than the site
at the foot of Seaview avenue, which
has been under .considera ton. The
committee was last night instructed
to get estimates on other property in
that section or on Steeplechase Island
The property at the foot of Seaview
avenue is owned by Ernst c. Adams
and Leopold Weiss. The valuation set
by the owners was considered too
high and J. H. .Crossley and James
Feeley were appointed to appraise it
with view to taking the land by
condemnation proceedings.
Mr.. Crossley's valuation was more
than 1923, 600 and Mr.. Feeley's mora
than $4,000, both figures being higher
than the valuation set by the owners
In consequence the Council decided
not to buy. the property but to look
for cheaper site.

unbearable." said Alderman Lyddy.
ION July we asked to have 20 lights
installed but only two or three were
placed in position and your committee
is unable to get the company to put
up the others we have ordered. 3
'Our dealings with this company
have been very unsatisfactory Lately
the company has installed a clock sys-
lights and we want this system re-
moved. am kept busy answering
telephone calls with complaints about
the lighting service and I am sick
and tired of it ALL Your committee
cannot remedy this situation, the city
is paying good money to have the
streets properly lighted and I think
some drastic action should be taken
At once to find a rem edy.''
Mayor Wilson said that he had writ
ten the Street Lighting company de-
handing that a better service be fur
nished and it was voted that a copy
of the resolution be forwarded at once
to supplement the mayors letter.

CAUSES RISE IN
PRICES OF FOOD

Dublin, Sept. 16-Over 10000 men
have Joined in the strike movement
started by the transport workers here

the poorer classes both in the Irish
capital and other towns of the south
of Ireland, owing to the. rise in the
prices of foodstuffs brought about by
the lack of transportation facilities. A
number OF vessels are lying in dock
here unable to discharge cargoee.

lin was felt on this side of the Irish
Channel, today, when 5000 workers at
the Liverpool docks and at the various
railway stations struck in sympathy
with comrades who were discharged,
yesterday, for refusing to handle Irish
goods.
All the railway stations and the

and great piles of goods, including
large amounts of provisions which are
badly needed in Dublin and other parts
of southern ireland, have accum t
ed in the yards. -.
In other sections of the docks the
men continued at work, urging that
a strike had not been ordered by their

ANOTHER RESPITE

Little Rock, Feb Ex-Governor Joe
I. Robinson has granted another re-

Y LIVES LOST IN
 NEBRASKA STORM
Forty Were Injured and Ii Million Dollar Property LOSS-Three Towns SufRered-0maha
 Scared.

Omaha, Neb., May l5.-RepOrts early today show that the tornado which formed in the southern part of Seward county last night took a toll of r lives, injured 10 persons and destroyed property valued at S25O,OO0.
 At least three towns-Seward, TOmaro and McCool Junction suffered from the elements, the greatest destruction being at Se- ward, where II persons were killed and 30 injured. At Tomaro four lives were lost anu much property destroyed. At McCool Junction two deaths occurred.
 The property loss in Seward is estimated at Si0O,00o The tornado apparently originated southwest of McCool Junction, and gathering force as it moved to the northeast, struck with full force both Toma- TO and Seward.
 The storm crossed the city near the southern limits but it's strength had been so far spent that the damage was nominal. Many Oma- hans sought refuge in cellars and other places considered tornado proof.
