No Need of Apprehension.
Considering the population of Greater
Omaha, DIR. Connell does not regard the
scarlet fever situation here as serious
enough to cause any apprehension. He
reiterates his contention that there are
various other Nebraska cities with more
cases in proportion to population. He
notes that many of the victims are
adults, which is an unusual feature Of a
scarlet fever outbreak.
It is stated that many Of the 300 cases
are in the convalescent stage or nearing
that stage.

WELSH CAN SEE NO
DANGER OF FLOODS
Heavy Blanket of Snow and the
Thick Ice Offer No Cause
for Alarm.
ALL DEPENDS ON THE THAw

Thousands of farmers whose fertile
acres lie in the rich bottom" lands
OF Nebraska and Iowa are beginning
tc cast apprehensive eyes upon the
thickening snow blanket over the
country and tho thick fee in the
rivers, and scores of them have writ
ten to the local weather bureau to
ask the united question:
What is the outlook for floods this
spring"
II can't answer the question" says
Colonel Welsh. THE mere fact that we
now have good bit of snow and that
the ice is nineteen inches thick on the
river at Omaha and twenty-five inches
at Sioux City does not indicate floods.
IF spring will just come on in an cr-
Derby and decent and sane manner, the
old Missouri will carry away all the
superfluous water.
Depends on Thaw.
THE main cause OF floods is thaw in
upper rivers while the lower channels
still remain choked with Ice. In that
case the great volume OF water coming
down from the north is obstructed by
this frozen barrier and flows out upor
the land.

can adjourn by Wednesday II the
strike legislation is disposed OF to-
morrow
Majority Leader Kern said after
the presidents visit that the Demo-
Gratis would concentrate on the eight
hour bill and put over the rest OF
the railroad legislation until next
week. Many OF the Democrats felt
there would be little disposition
among the Republicans to Hlibuster
against the eight-hour bill, in view
of the present conditions.
The Senate committee determined
there was too much opposition to the
Interstate Commerce Commission en-
largement bill to risk attaching II to
the emergency legislation.
Senator Newlands said the com
mittee also was considering lnclud-
ing a provision to empower the Inter
state Commerce Commission to fix
the schedule OF wages upon railroads.
We will have to do this sometime
and might as well do II now" he
said. He also was inclined to urge
the committee to include in the eight
hour bill some features OF the pro-
posed amendment to the arbitration
act. which would prevent future
strikes during investigation. There
seemed to be little prospect that the
committee would agree to that be-
cause of the certainty that 1t would
provoke opposition. President VIII
son, 1t was said. had become con-
WINGED that the only thing that could
be done at once was the passage Of
the eight-hour bill and had urged
that the Senate bill adhere as close
ly as possible to the Adamson bill in
the House.
The railway heads having voiced
their protest against the legislation
did nothing today awaiting its out
come.

seemed assured today that Congress
would act finally before Saturday
night and in time for the brotherhood

CHICAGO, Sept Counsel for the
various railroads are said to have In
formed the presidents OF the roads that

stitutional as beink coniiscatory and
class legislation.
A statement was issued at publicity
headquarters Of the railroads that
preparations for strike next Monday
were proceeding without regard to
prospects of congressional action.
officials Of the four railroad broth
erhoods began massing their forces
here today to direct the impending
strike.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul railroad was notified today that
the Brotherhood Of Railway Conduc-
tors on the section Of that system be-
tween Chicago and the Missouria river
had voted not to strike
The homogeneous of the railways
are dlsregarding reports from Wash
'ington regarding the possibility Of the
strike being prevented and are pro-
ceeding exactly as they would II they
were certain that II was going to ac-
cur September A." says the statement
issued by the railroads. I'VE will pro-
coed in this manner and advise the
public to do the same until the order
for strike has been formally revoked.
THE leaders of the railway brother
hoods are playing desperate game
and as they say now that they will not
recall the strike order until they wiring
from Congress the legislation they de-
mand, for anybody to act on the as
sumption that there will be no strike
would be foolish and might prove to
he extremely unfortunate.
