Willard was too tough and too young. He. like Jeffries. never beat any one until he beat a champ. TaSe your hats off to Willard. He fooled thousands.

Indian Chiefs Pass
Comes Back to u. P

The Union Paficif passenger department
has received a reminder OF the days when
railroad passes were as common as grass
and as easy as hay fever to get The
reminder is one Of the passes issued by
the company. bearing the number s61 and
good during the year 1853. 1t is signed by
w. Snyder who at that time was gen
eral superintendent.
The railroad pass that comes back to
the Union Pacific as a relic was issued
to Chief Washable of the Shoshone In
dams. II seems that Chief Washable dur
ing the early days Of the construction
rendered some valuable services to the
Union Pacific and to reward him, he was
given an annual pass over the system.
that then consisted of a single track line
from Omaha out into Wyoming.
1t IL doubtful IL Chief Washable ever
used the pass. for 1t is bright and clean,
though the ink used in filling 1t out is
a little faded. II seems that years ago,
prior to his death. together with some
other relics, Chief Washable turned the
pass over to Judge Carter of Uinta
county, Wyoming. The judge was the
father of Mrs. Maurice Gibson. pure food
inspector of Wyoming. Upon the death
Of her father the pass came into her

Pacific Mail Agents
to Turn In Supplies

The Pacific Mall steamship company
that was the ocean link In Il. H. Har-
rimans proposed system. which would
include railroad across this continent
and another acro ss Asia and Europe, is to
become a thing Of the past.
Local agents Of the Pacific Mail have
been requested TO return TO headquarters
all tickets and supplies. an announcement
having been Issued that September Is the
company Will discontinue business with
the Orient.
II Is asserted that the action OF the
Pacific Mail Is due to the passage Of the
LaFollette seaman law at the last SEES
sion of congress. II Is further asserted
that the passage OF this law and It's re-
quirements make II impossible for Amer
lean bottom ships TO continue in the
Oriental trade on the Pacific ocean. The
chief provision OF the law, according to
local agents. that falls most heavily
upon ships In the Pacific ocean trade is
that 70 per cent OF the crews must be
able to speak the language OF the COM
manding officers. This, It is asserted,
puts the control OF the Pacific in the
hands OF the Japanese.
The Pacific Mall had five big trans
Pacific steamers. These, II is announced,
have been sold to the Atlantic Trans
port company and will go into the east
ern trade. with the passing OF the Pacific
Mail. 1t is asserted that the only big
vessel on the Pacific ocean flying the
American flag Is the Minnesota, owned
and operated by the Great Northern Rail-
road company.

FIRE ALARM REPORT
ALARMS OFFICIALS
Commissioner Withheld Reads Cost
Figures Of Proposed System and
Enthusiasm Wanes.
BEEsoN SENDS ENGINEERS PLAN

Commissioner withheld is not as
enthusiastic as he was over the propo-
sitlon OF spending $4,000 for in
stallation Of a standard fire alarm
system and $50. 900 a year for main
tenance.
The commissioner has just received
from A. @. Beeson OF the Nebraska
Inspection bureau copy OF a long de-
tailed statement made by e. r.
Townsend, hydraulic and electrical
engineer for the National Board OF
Underwriters.
Mr.. Townsend recently appeared
before the city council and verbally
outlined what he maintained Omaha
must do to be saved from high in
surance rates.
Mr.. Townsend sets forth nm estimate
OF $3.50 600 as the first cost of fire alarm
system such as he outlines. In order 70
come within his requirements and to ad-
vance Omaha from "a to second class
for insurance rating. this alarm
system must be maintained in a fire
proof building. a competent electrical en-
gineer must be in charge and two opera
tors present at all times The present
telephone system of the fire department
to be maintained and the exchange To-
Gated with the fire alarm headquarters.
More Conditions Named.
To further advance Omaha to IL class
Mr.. Townsend requires pumps for emer-
station a reservoir with capacity from
100000 to 20,0Oo.OOO. in southwestern Part
of the cty, and seventy-five more
hydrants in congested districts.
To bring the city within the ~ class
it is further required that over 500. 900
be expended for motor fire apparatus.
Amendment o: building laws additional
building inspectors. and a lot of other
matters declared necessary before lower
insurance rates will be given, according
to Mr.. Townsend of Chicago.
Thinks Townsend Asks Poo Much.
Commissioner Withheld believes Mr..
Townsend is going rather strong
II believe we should have more fire
alarm boxes. and 1t may be we should
have a new standard fire alarm system.
The chief insists 1t is necessary, and I
already have stated we intend to install
more motor apparatus, but this fellow Is
asking too much" declared Commits
sioner M!thnell.
Tho city commissioners do not look
with favor upon the proposition of spend
ing $4,000 for an extensive fire alarm
system to cover the entire territory Of
Greater Omaha already covered by tele-
phone alarm.
Mr.. Withnell will submit a report on
the subject TO the city council this month
