OMAHA WILL TRAIN.
ARMY BALLOON MEN
Captain Chandler Says No Air
planes Nor Dirigibles Will
Come Here Yet.
AERO COLLEGE FOR MANY

Companies of balloon men for the
United States army service will be
trained at Fort Omaha and sent from
here to join various artillery detach-
ments in various parts of the country,
according to Captain Charles De
France Chandler, who has just ar
rived in Omaha to take charge of the
balloon school that is to be estab-
lished at Fort Omaha.
Six balloons are ordered for this
balloon school, and are now being
manufactured. No airplanes are to
be used here just yet, and probably
no dirigibles, according to Captain
Chandler, The type of balloons to be
used is what is known as the captive
balloon, which is sent up and kept
tethered to earth by rope, so that it
may be brought down by windlass
at any time. The men in the balloon
take observations and find ranges for
the gunners in the artillery,
Captain D. H. Bower, besides Cap
tain Chandler, has been assigned to
duty at Fort Omaha. About twenty
officers can be accommodated here at
one time, and Captain Chandler says
some go enlisted men will be taking
instructions here.
Captain Chandler has been in the
aeronautic service of the United
States army for some years, having
served two years in the Philippines
and some months with General PERISH
ing on the border and in Mexico.

Expert Testimony in Big
Suit in Federal Court

Expert testimony was introduced
in the case Of William Livingstone,
who is suing the Omaha railroad COM
pany for $4,000 damages, which he
asserts he received in 1902, when he
fell and injured his head on the steps
of a railroad engine. The testimony
was in the form of skiograph plates
showing how the bone tissue of the
skull had been removed as a result
Of the accident. Dr.. Johnson of the
University of Nebraska College of
Medicine testified that the injury
might have caused the plaintiff to
wander about in demented condi-
ton and otherwise affect his mind.
The case is being tried before Judge
Woodrough of the United States
district court.

Mayor Decides He Has No
Right to Grant Permits or
to Refuse to Let
People Talk.
MAY DRAFT AN ORDINANCE

What are the rights of free speech
The city commissioners want to know.
They are at sea and want somebody
to throw lifeline.
Three members of the city legal
department perused the law books for
three hours and announced that they
could not find anything which pre-
vented public speaking on the streets
of Omaha.
81 am convinced that | have no
authority to issue permits for street
speaking as have been doing. These
permits have no legal status. 1t seems
to have been a custom for the mayor
to issue permits" stated Mayor Dahl

The net result of the meeting Of
the city commissioners in committee

street speakers may have a free-for-
all until such time as the city council
shall have passed a regulatory ordi-
nance which will define a zone inside
Of which street speaking will not be
allowed The city attorney was d.
rected to prepare such an ordinance.
Then what shall do?" inquired
Superintendent Kugel of the police
department.
The commissioners took counsel
unto themselves once more and de-
cided that the police department may
keep the. streets and walks open to
traffic, but cannot legally interfere
with the speakers, because that would
be interfering with the rights of free
speech.
Mr.. Kugel thinks he is the goat of
the situation. 1t is up to him to pre-
serve inviolate the sacred rights of
free speech, maintain traffic routes
for vehicles and pedestrians. main
tain order in the crowds which attend
street speaking meetings and placate
merchants who complain of congested

ness. 49,.
Mayor Dahlman suggested setting
aside Jefferson square for public
speaking, but Commissioner Hummel
stood up in all of his might and re-
monstrated against invading the sa-
cred precincts of that hallowed spot.
This matter was brought to its pres
ent status when the mayor was asked
for permits for speakers who intend
to oppose the five-year street lighting
contract which will be submitted to

COCKTAILS ANSWERS
CRITICS OF CANAL
Structures of Kearns and Miller
Are Called Erroneous, Un-
warranted and Unfair.
SLIDES UNDER CONTROL

Washington, Nov. l9.-Sharp Ian
guage is employed by Major General
George w. Goethals, governor OF the
Panama Canal Zone, in replying to
published criticisms of the big water
way, which he charges have seriously
affected its commercial rating. In his
annual report, made public by the
War department, the governor de-
clares that the earth movements
which have frequently interrupted
traffic through the canal finally will
be overcome for all time.
General Goethals goes into a
lengthy review Of the geological prob.
lens which have been encountered, OF
the steps taken to overcome such OBJ
stacles and the measure of success at
tanned. So far as the Culebra cut is
concerned, he says. "the worst is over,
the intervals between movements are
becoming greater and the quantities
Of material less"
The report replies to the published
statements of Prof Benjamin Leroy
Miller of Lehigh university and for
mer Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah.
The charges made in each case, Cen
eral Goethals brands as erroneous,
unwarranted and unfair" 1t is shown
in the report that during a part of
the fiscal year, 1916, during which the
canal was opened, All vessels passed
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
376 in the other direction. OF all
these, only ninety-one were engaged
in the American coastwise trade.
To total cargo tonnage handled
was 3,140,046, as against 4,o69,792 for
the preceding year, although the
waterway was in operation for only
FIVE months last year. Commenting
upon the reduction in coastwise traf-
ifs shown, however, the report says,
it was due principally to the scarcity
of ships for foreign trade which drew
American coasting vessels into that
service.
Difficulties of the present system of
levying tolls are recited and General
Goethals again recommends that leg
islation be sought making the earning
capacity of ship the basis upon
which charges shall be computed. He
points out that $2,3oo,830 were COL
lected in tolls during 1916. Had the
so-called Panama canal rules applied
in measuring the ships, he adds, this
sum would have been increased by
approximately 100000.
