Cornell to Force
Building Owners
to Provide Screens

Health Commissioner Connel has re-
quested Assistant City Attorney TePoel
TO prepare an ordinance to require owners
OF ell buildings where persons reside to
provide adequate screening against flies.
The commissioner believes this is a
Just measure and can be enforced. Ex-
planning his position, he said: 1T is my
intention to endepvor to require through
this ordinance proper screening OF all
places of habitation, tho particular
thought be,ng TO protect tenants In small
dwellings. Our experience has been that
most OF the poor screens are found in the
more humble dwellings. The owners
should provide screens which will not ad-
init flies. We are after the flies"
The doctor referred TO one OF many
specific instances. Last week ne observed
n case Of an infant very i'll IN a house for
which the occupant paid SD month.
The father told The doctor tie owner
would not provide screens. Many flies
were swarming over the sick child.

A number OF good. hot days are re-
ported from all over the state. and these
helped the corn along so that the crop
is now estimated to be not more than
ten days or two weeks behind the nor
NAL growth at this time Of the year.
Most of wheat Saved.
When the wheat harvest was begun
the fields we're soaked with water and
rains continued so that estimates OF
loss were large. Now that the wheat
harvest u practically finished the re-
suits are reported to be surprisingly
gooc. In ono way and another the
wheat was cnt and most OF Il saved.
Where II was down too badly I. was
cut with moving machines
Superintendent Lyman Of the wymore
division. where conditions were most
unfavorable, has made careful in
vestigation, both by personal observa-
ton and inquiries. and he has reached
the conclusion that on the Wymore di-
vision not more than 9 per cent Of the
crop has been Loaf by mlfavorable con-
ditions for harvesting.
On the lincoln division estimates OF
loss during the harvest averaged, show
less than 5 per cent. On the Omaha d.
vision probably not more than half as
much loss as on the IAncoln and Wy
more divisions and on the McCook
division, reports do not indicate that
the loss has been very much in ex-
cess Of other years. A little threshing
has been done and the results were gen.
orally up to expectations as to yield
and quality. Present indications are that
the total yield Of wheat in this district
will not be less than last year.
Oats Prospects Good.
The principal crop of oats Is ready to
cut and is reported to be excellent.
Pastures continue to yield an unpre-
cedented amount of feed, and the mead
ows are producing an unusually large
quantity OF hay.
Splendid yields of wheat are reported
from the Wyoming district. At vanango
wheat and rye will be 80 per cent above
the average; at Edgemont and Moore
field. 25 per cent above the average

UTILITIES BOARD IS
ATTACKED IN COURT

Chicago, Ill, Aug 5.-The validity
Of the law creating the state public
utilities commission is under attack in
a suit at Aurora, in which the Burling-
ton railroad is seeking the c0ndemna-
ton Of a piece Of property to he used
in track elevation. James Powell,
owner Of the property. in fighting the
ease has set up the contention that
the utilities commission has no right
TO sanction the condemnation of prop
erty. His brief attacks the law as un-
constitutional on two grounds, as fol-
lows:
Because the title Of the act is not
broad enough to cover eminent do
main.
Because the law delegates legislative
and judicial functions to the commis-
sion.
Members Of the commission are not
inclined to believe the law in danger
They argue that on the two points
brought up in the Burlington case the
validity of the law has been well
established in litigation as TO the con
stitutionality Of the old railroad and
warehouse act and other statutes.
