HEALTH BOARD WINS
 FIGHT FOR SEWER
Public Works Board Recommends
 One for Winthrop Street

A fight instituted by the board of health nearly two years ago for sewer in Winthrop street from Lin- wood to Vance street. was brought to a close last evening, when follow- ing a hearing, the board of public works voted to recommend the sewer When the petitioners first presented their request it was found that the street was an unaccepted one, and several of the property owners re- fused to sign the necessary waivers. The city has since taken over the street as a public highway. Those favoring the sewer at the hearing were Joseph Schiedel and the Camp Real Estate company George F. Vessels opposed the petition.
 The second hearing was for the establishment of building lines on both sides of East street, from New ington Road to the railroad crossing. City Engineer Hall had a map show ing 8 15-foot line on the east side. On the west side, the line was some what changed due to the layout as follows: Five feet in front of the first property, then 20 feet to Sun rise avenue and Is feet the remainder of the way Those favoring the line as shown on the map were J. August Carlson, J. A. Carlson. Martin An derson, Rudolph and Bertha Linn, Andrew Stromquist, F. k. Carlson, H. N Lockwood, Carl J. F'riden, Kendall Forbes and Andrew Carlson. Those opposed were M. T. White and James Prendergast who said they objected because there was no need of a line north of SmalIey street on account of the cemetery property commence ing there On motion of Commissioner Anderson the lines on the engineers map were adopted.

Republicans in Hard Straits.

Ability has apparently become a
crime in the Republican party. The
leaders are suspicious of it. The col
onel and the rest Of the BullMoose
herd might resent it. Even Justice
Hughes is looked upon with more OF
less distrust, and about the only &C.
tive support that he has comes. from
men who think it would be good
thing to prostitute the United States
Supreme court in order to placate
the Roosevelt Progressives.
Elihu Root must have been deeply
touched by the honeyed compliments
Of Mrs. Depew's speech; but if the New
York Republicans have such exalted
respect for Mr. Root, why are they
afraid to get behind him and make
him their candidate for president?

One of the great trunk-line railroads
has issued notices that it will accept
no, more freight consigned for export

overwhelmed with traffic which is

We shall hear it said that the roads
have been starved into an insufficiency

is not the trouble at all. The trouble
is at the seaboard, and the trouble

Filipino Governor
Given High Praise

WASHINGTON. Jan. 14-High praise
of the administration in the Philippines
of Governor General Harrison Is included
In special report On the islands by
Brigadier General Frank Mcintyre, chief
Of the insular bureau. General McIn-
tyre made personal study OF conditions
last fall and his report has been sub
mitted to the president and congress.
THE high motives which prompted
General Harrisons acceptance OF his
office" General Mcintyre says, have
guided his conduct thereof. He has la
bored increasingly and as a result OF
these labors he has gained the admiration
and respect Of the people OF the islands
AZ consequence the excellent state of
law and order prevailing In the Christian
provinces OF the Philippine islands is bet
ter assured than It has been at any time
in the past. while the penetration Of
schools and sanitary work in the portions
of the islands Inhabited by the wild peo-
pie and Moros, particularly the latter, is
beyond the most sanguine expectation Of
two years ago"

Tinplate Industry
Prospers in Wales

Correspondence OF The Associated PressO
LONDON. Jan. l2.-The Wales tinplate
industry was never so prosperous as now.
Large orders have come from France
where the plate is used in making bombs
for trench warfare. and the demand for
tin in England is above normal. as cans
have taken the place Of glass jars and
bottles to a large extent in the drug and
grocery trades.
An entirely new line of work has also
been built up in the manufacture Of tin
boxes, a branch of the industry that had
been captured by Germany prior to the
war. Germany bought Welsh plate and
returned the manufactured boxes to
England, duty free. as we'll as to the
British colonies. England has now built
up plants for tin box end can making and
intends to keep up the present work In
the days OF peace. Some difficulty Is
encountered now IN supplying the enor-
nous demand against the handicaps OF
high priced steel and the scarcity OF
acid. on which the government munition
works naturally have first demand.

E. ]. M'YANN WILL
MOVE FROM OMAHA
Finds Heavy Demand for His Serv-
ices as an Expert in
the East.
TO HAVE OFFICE IN CHICAGO

E. j. McVann. manager Of the traf-
fie bureau OF the Commercial club,
has practically asked his traffic COM
mittee to fill his position. II they zee
fit to do so, since he will be engaged
the greater part OF the year with a
big case before the Interstate Com
merce commission for seventy-six coal
mining companies OF Virginia and
West Virginia.
Mr.. McVann is in Washington now in
conference with coal mining officials In
regard to this case, and will be there for
some time.
II IL given on good authority that Mr.
McVann plans on his return from Wash
ington to open a law office in Chicago.
and that his family is to be removed
to Chicago before very long.
As yet the traffic. bureau has not &C
cepted Mr. Mcvann's resignation, and
has given little thought to the filling OF
his place although It is pretty well
settled that this is a situation that will
have to be dealt with.
Handles Big Cases.
During the last few years Mr. Nc
Nann has handled almost more rate
cases for big concerns in the east than
he has local cases. He handled the gen.
eral advance rate case on agricultural
implements for the National implement
and Vehicle association. He handled
big lumber rate cases for southern lum.
Der associations. and handled a big coal
rate case for the Southern Cotton Manu-
facturers' association. the rates affect
ing the coal consumed by the cotton
mills
These are a few OF the big cases in
which he has been retained in the last
few years, and these. together with
other big eastern cases. have kept him
in Chicago and Washington almost more
of the time than in Omaha.
Up to the time Mr. McVann received
his diploma from the law school. a little
less than two years ago. he handled his
, outside cases still as a traffic bureau
man, and turned the fees for such work
into the bureaus Golfers After he was
admitted to court practice, he asked to
be released from this ALLEGATION, and a
new salary basis was agreed upon.
which left him free to accept outside
rate cases for his own personal practice.
During the last year these cases have
grown to such volume that he has had
to spend even more time than before i'm
Chicago and Washington, so that he is
now said to have definitely decided he
must sever his connections with the
bureau here and remove to Chicago.
