| OMAHA, Nov. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: During the last eieht or ten
years thousands OF worklngmen and peo.
pie Of quite slender means have been
able. through the new system OF selling
real estate on small monthly payments. to
buy cottages in Omaha. The purchase Of
homes by families of this class has Gre
ated an entirely new set Of conditions
mere as most OF these people never have
as much as SlOo In hand At any one time,
and when they sign the contracts for
purchasing their little homes they have q
very vague idea as TO the obligations they
are taking upon themselves by signing
such contracts. thinking as they do that
the only expenses they will be required
to meet will be the usual small monthly
payments on the home, the taxes and
little fire insurance. Then, some day,
along comes a health department in
spector and serves them with an order to
put in city water and sewer connections
at once. and he informs them that n
they do not comply within ten days the
father of the family will be put in iail
and fined.
When one OF these families is served
with an order OF this kind they have a
real scare. They find that 10 put in
water ana sewer pipes they will have 10
pay out from 500 to $500, according TO the
amount Of work done, and ali In one
lump. They have no money. except for
the usual monthly expenses OF the home
as they have no deed until they have
paid all the purchase price. They can
see no way out of their difficulty, and
there is no way out--they are imply
trapped. and they believe that father
is going to be put in Jail. This, however
Is not the case. as the threat OF arrest
is not often carried out, but these people
DO not know this. and for a time they
are badly frightened.
Why does the city not recognize this
new set OF conditions that has grown
up around the monthly payment system
or buying homes? These families are
having hard enough struggle to buy
their little homes without being fright.

them TO put In improvements which II is

IL the city wishes these necessary reg.
ulations carried out It must alter its

have arisen OF late years. In the mean.
time the health department inspectors
should be ordered to go easy and 20

GONFEREES KILL
HIGH DAM PROJECT
Minnesota Item Comes Out Of
Rivers and HaTbOTs Bill.

The amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill providing for increasing
the height Of the navigation dam I'M
der construction in the Mississippi
above st. Paul in order to create wa
ter power and furnish electricity for
st. Paul, Minneapolis and state uni
versity buildings was stricken from
the bill by the conferees. Senator
Nelson made every effort to have the
other conferees agree to the measure,
but without success.
Opposition to 1t had developed in
the house, which threatened to defeat
the entire rivers and harbOrs bill, It
was practically certain that If the
high dam provision was left in the bill
the house would refuse to pass it and
the president might veto it. For that
reason q compromise was necessary
to save the remainder of the measure
Republican Floor Leader Mann OF
Illinois had given notice before allow
ing the bill to 90 to conference that Il
this and other provisions were agreed
to by the conferees he would Oppose
the measure on the floor. -

human beings have been born on

thought and discovery, again to dis
appear without leaving trace, and
! worlds have died more frequently

researches by which Professor Birke-

as to what would be the fate OF the

into space, never to return; the sec
