DATA TO BE PROCURED TO Sc
CURE REPORT FROM CONSULT.
ING ENGINEER ENGAGED.
TO COMPLETE
MOVE WILSON STARTED
Plan Of Procuring Report and Advice
From Dabney n. Maury, Engineer
Engaged by Former City Clerk Will
son, Is to Be Followed out-Promise
Rebuilding Of System This Year.

If the purpose of the city council, as
already expressed Is carried out the
city will be furnished an abundant and
permanent water supply, and the sup
ply main thru which the water is de-
livered to the pumping station will be
permanently protected from damage by
flood by next winter. Such is the gen.
eral plan Of the council as expressed at
its meeting this forenoon.
The council has yet to work out the
details To take the first step in this
direction the council will follow out the
plan begun by former City Clerk J. J.
Wilson, when he engaged Dabney H.
Maury, of Chicago, consulting engi-
neer. for expert advice and a plan for
a permanent system.
Will Produce Data Needed.
The neglect, delay and Indifference
of the old city administration in regard
to the city's water supply finds no du-
plcation or sympathy in the new coun-
Gil. 1t proposes to act.
Former City Clerk Wilson has taken
up with the council the movement he
started to obtain advice and plan for
n permanent system. The council will
carry out this arrangement, The Sc
curing Of the report was blocked and
stopped by former Mayor Willard and
Councilman Mcfarland when they re-
fused TO allow water supply depart
ment employees to make borings and
take samples of earth in the water
field.
Councilman Bell. head OF the water
supply department. has ordered that
these borings be ade. When the sam
pies are secured they will be forwarded
to the engineer, who can then compile
his report.
Plan Supply and Protection.
Two general phases Of the water
supply question the council is consid
erng The first is to procure an abund-
ant and permanent water supply. The
other Is to protect the supply main that
carries the water to the pumping sta
ton. AS regards the details Of how
both these plans are to be carried out
they will take some time to work out.
1t Is quite probable that additional
expert advice will be obtained before
the whole plan for the revision of the
system Is prepared. In Its present
mood the city council indicates that no
reasonable expense Is to be allowed to
stand In the way Of providing an
abundant and fully protected water
supply system.

congress and the people should be in
formed of the matter"
While Senator Swanson was assur-
ing Mr.. Lodge that he was authorized
to state that the announcement by
The Associated Press was correct, full
confirmation was being given Off
cially at the White House and State
department.
Senator Hardwick of Georgia,
democrat, objected to immediate con-
sideration of the Lodge resolution,
and other senators urged him to with
draw it. e.
Senator Works, republican, of Cali
fornia, argued that it should be
adopted.
1T is exceedingly important" said
he, that we have explicit information
whether the-president, at the time he
asked congress to confer extraordi-
nary powers upon him, knew of these
conditions as disclosed in the news
papers. If the president had the in
formation at that time it was due
congress and the people of the United
States that he should lay before con-
gress all of the circumstances that
might affect the action of congress.
Congress is dealing with that situa-
ton and we should have all the in
formation before taking any steps"
Not Time for Criticism.
Senator Reed deplored what he said
appeared to be criticism of the presi-
dent, although Senator Lodge dis
claimed any intention to embarrass
him. ~
IL hope that at this moment, which
to me appears to be very solemn
one" Senator Reed said, I'VE will not
have any manifestations of DISPOSE
tons to criticise the president. Let
US criticise no one by any kind Of in
ference. This is time when Ameri-
cans should close their ranks and
face one way and respond to the one
sentiment. | hope that will be done"
Situation Most Grave.
81 am very deeply impressed with
the gravity of the situation" said
Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colo
RADIO. 1--WE are confronted with a
crisis that may be very serious. 1t
is a coincidence that the Associated
Press publication comes when the
senate is considering the army and
navy bills.
"But if this letter from the German
foreign minister is authentic, and it
is said to be by the senator from Vir-
ginia, we should know it and know
it now. | hope the resolution Of the
senator rom Massachusetts, will be
acted upon, and | am sure the presi-
dent will respond to it. There may
be reasons for not giving the informa-
ton if incompatible with the public

portant document. II is probably
authentic"
Senator Lodge said he cared little
regarding the form of his resolution.
Nothing is further away from my
mind than to suggest criticism Of the
president said he. 1--WE ought to
have this information-the people
ought to have ito know whether
the document is true or not. If we
are to act together we ought to have
that fact.
Il have every reason to believe
that the inquny is not. distasteful to
the president. We must not act on
newspaper reports and we ought to
have the Official information. The
president is asking great lower. For
one, l think we ought to give it to
him. And we ought to have this inr
formation in that connection" -
Stone Wants Source Of Story.
After carefully reading the resolu-
ton Senator Stone, chairman of the
foreign relations committee. said:
1T seems to me that the resolution
ought to go to the committee on for
eign relations. Here is a newspaper
report that the secretary of foreign
relations of the German government
has sent the German ambassador in
Washington certain letter which ap-
pears in the morning papers. We are
not informed as to the source. We
have. no facts upon which to deter
mine our judgment as to the resolu-
tons accuracy.
There may be information in the
hands of the State department Of a
confidential nature that it might not
be thought compatible with public
interest to reveal. Then, again, this
alleged dispatch may not be anthem
t.c. 1t may not be true.
There may be something behind
all this we do not know about" con-
tinued Senator>Stone. 1T seems to
me in the exigencies of this moment
1t is the part of prudence and sound
judgment to proceed deliberately. |
think the wiser course would be to
send the resolution. to the committee
and have that committee make the
necessary investigation and then re-
port what action in its option should
be taken. But if that view is not CO.
incided in by the senate then we
ought at least to have the resolution
broadened so as to call on the presi-
dent for all information respecting
the sources OF this statement, said to
have been given out officially or semi
officially. would like to know all
about it; how it was obtained and
from whom, and l want to know the

we do not care to touch. | do not

cells us in the intelligence of its people.
Pioneer Is Passing.
For many years we have witnessed
the passing of those things typical of
pioneer days. The Indian and the
plainsman no longer roam aheld I'M
trammeled by civilizations conyen-
tons. The buffalo, the antelope and
deer are also of bygone days. The
game birds are decreasing rapidly in
numbers and migratory fowl are seek
ing new lines Of flight between the
breeding grounds of the north and the
winter feeding grounds Of the south.
at is useless to deplore the passing
of these things so intimately associ-
ated with early Nebraska days. That
they should cease to exist in .keir ma
tural state is inevitable; it is the price
of civilization and advancement.
"The men ard women, who have
contributed to the making OF our his
tory, are one by one departing to that
undiscovered country from whose
bourn no traveller returns Another
brief period of time and Nebraska
will celebrate its centennial. A few,
perhaps, of those gathered here will
live to see that day, but many years
before, the responsibility of conduct
ing the affairs of our people in mat
tiers Of state and through the channels
of trade and commerce will have de-
scended upon the shoulders of the
children of today, who will be the men
and women of tomorrow, and when
the years shall have passed and those
who assume the burden, look back
upon their labors, may they do so with
the same degree Of satisfaction as can
