Electricity Solves
Froze,, Pipe Problem

After plumbers have exhausted al.
vices in Second ward neighborhood,
electricity was brought into play and
proved successful in all cases where
it was tried.
The home Of Rev. B. E. Martin, A.
R. Cooper, and c. w. Hughes, on
North Fifth street; that Of II. A.
Woellhaf, on Hughes street, and the
A. S. Chandler home, on Park street.
have been without water owing to
frozen services. In cases plumbers have
managed to thaw out the services, but
they would freeze again. and it has
been a real problem to overcome the
difficulty.
The Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany was appealed to to try electric
ity to warm the pipes. and this has
resulted in the pipes being thawed out
In from forty-five to eight minutes.
The company placed on a wagon two
transformers, connected up to get
low voltage and q high amperage.
Connection with one wire was made
to the nearest fire hydrant, and the
other wire to the pipe where the ser
vice entered the house. This formed
perfect connection, and the heat
units produced warmed the pipes SUI
ficiently to thaw the ice.
The trouble In the Second ward
neighborhood Is ascribed by plumbers
to be due particularly to the fact that
the soil is sandy, and freezes deeper
than heavier soil: With a lack of snow
early, and q lower frost line than
usual, has caused the freezing Of pipes
this winter where they never have
frozen before. Plumbers say that in
sandy soil the pipes should be laid at
least six feet deep.

DEATH CALL COMES
TO ROBERT M'NEIL
Popular Railroad Man, Long
Head of Stock Yards Trans
portation Department, Dies
at Homv in Omaha.

Robert F. Mcneil, long a popular
railroad man in Omaha, died at his
home, 2606 South Thirty-second ave
nue., Saturday.
Born in St. Clair, Mich, November
26, 1857, he came to Omaha in 1875,
starting in the employ Of the Union
Pacific railroad.
His rise was rapid. He soon became
lower yardmaster, then upper yard
master, then general yardmaster and
finally superintendent of terminals.
In 1904 Mr.. Mcneil was transferred
to Denver, leaving there to go to San
francisco, returning to Omaha in
1908 to take charge of the railroad
department of the Union Stock Yards
company.
Gives Up Active Work.
Last October his health failed and
he gave up active work, but was re-
tanned by the company in all advisory
capacity.
Upon assuming charge Of the yards
Oil w phi tillAllL no hSSil lllSlsiG vi lis
needs enabled Mr.. Mcneil soon to
put it into the highest state of eff
cheney and made a host of friends for
him among the South Omaha live
stock commission men with whom he
was as popular as when with the
Union Pacific.
Jovial and kind to every one at all
times the passing of Bob" Mcneil,
as he was familiarly known, will be
mourned by many.
Five Sons Survive.
His family consists of his widow
and FIVE sons, Irvyn H. George L.,
Donald w. and Herbert A., of Oma-
la, and Charles F. OF Sparks, New, all
of whom were at his bedside when
he died. A brother, Charles, lives in
Texas. Definite arrangements for the
funeral have not been made, but it
will probably be held Tuesday after
noon at the home, with interment in

SEE-SAW RACES IN
BOTH Big LEAGUES
Leaders in Both Major 0rgani-
cations Waiver Back and
Forth in First Division
Positions.

New York, June H.-Sec saw races
continued last week in the major
leagues, especially the National, and
except for the New York team none
OF the first division contenders showed
any marked Improvement That also
is true of those in the second division.
In the National, New York appar-
emily recovered from the setback
dealt by Cincinnati, and after losing
to Chicago Sunday came through the
week with five straight victories.
Philadelphia held first place until
Thursday when New York went ahead
only to come to a tie with Philadel-
phia for the lead on Friday. On Sat
urday New York again took the lead.
Chicago fell back during the week,
but there was little change among
the other clubs.
Chicago retained the lead in the
American and improved its standing
slightly, but mostly because Boston
was unable TO get going again. In the
series with St. Louis, Boston took
only ono out of the three games and
lost the first two of the series against
Chicago Friday and Saturday. The
champions are not hitting and Bar
rvs strong pitching staff has lost its
cunning for the time being.
The intersectional results for the
week were: National, east IS, west 9;
American, east 8, west 9.

Case Where Low Price for
Sheep Was Money Maker

Lincoln. June l7.-(SpeciaL)--F
years ago Judge Reese OF Broken
Bow had herd Of sheep and they
were good sheep, too. However, the
wool from those sheep brought the
disappointing price of only 10 cents
per pound and the judge was discour-
aged.
Judge Reese was in town this week
TO attend the semi-centennial celebra-
ton. To Secretary OF State Pool he
said: "You know | tried to sell those
sheep, but | could LIT get what |
thought they were worth and | just
was compelled to keep them. l am
glad now that | did for | have just
marketed 1000 pounds of wool and it
brought me So cents pound"
