Food Ac!:.::";:1,..cc ration is to
Reduce Its Office Space

On the first of the year the Ne
braska food administration depart
ment, with Offices in the Union Pa
ci6c building, will take smaller quar-
tiers. Since the organization of the
department it has occupied prac-
tically all of the space on the east
side, second floor of the building.
With the war ended and restric-
tons removed on the buying, selling
and handling of nearly all the food
stuffs, the work of the food admin
istration has been greatly dimin-
ished. AS result, most of the
clerks have been dispensed with and
after January l the department will
move into the three rooms on the
north end of the floor now occu-
pied.

Council Votes
DOWN plan FOR
PROPOSED PARK
Zimman Scores FOWL for
Bringing in Beauty Doc
tors" for Advice on City
Development.

A vigorous discussion of the de-
STABILITY or undesirability of pub
lies park on the South Side between
Q and S streets. and between TWEEN
ty-ninth and Thirtieth streets, was
carried into city council Monday by
delegation Of 50 South Side resi-
dents. After a number of speeches
council voted the proposition down
by vote of 4 to 3.
Rev. M. Adam, pastor of the Zion
Lutheran church. and ex-Postmaster
Mcmillan presented petition
against the proposed Park signed
by hundreds of names.
Commissioner Zimman protested
against action by Commissioner
Towl in bringing in beauty doctors
from St. Louis and elsewhere who
come here in the morning and leave
the same afternoon and then pre-
tend to tell us what to do in regard
to developing our city"
This property is just across the
street from Armours' and just two
blocks from Swift's fertilizer plant
and is no place for a public park,
was the opinion of those opposed to
the movement.
Rev. Mr. Adam declared such a
park would just be a congregating
place for undesirable citizens and
have a bad influence on children.
Would Cost 100000.
Hans Lemburg asked what the
cost of the property would be and
Commissioner FOWL said around
100000 which cost would be as
sessed on property owners within a
radius of half mile.
Such tax couldn't be borne by
the homes owners" said Mr.. LEM
burg.
Mrs. ]. H. Dumont, Mrs. Cald-
we'll and Mrs. Bowen of the settle
ment house were there to speak in
favor of the park.
Commissioners Butler, Zimman
and Falconer were in favor of re-
ceiving the protest and cancelng
further plans for the park.
They pointed to the present exist
ence of Christie park, just six blocks
from the proposed park. Let the
children go there and get real fresh
air instead of trying to breath there
in the smell of the packing house
area" they urged.

GAS mains ARE
ORDERED TAKEN
FROM STREETS
City Fears. That in Some Way
the Rights Of the Company
Will Be ReCog-
nized.

City council has passed all ordi-
nance, ordering the Omaha Gas
company to remove its mains and
other paraphernalia from the public
stree and alleys of Omaha. The
ordinance recited that the gas COM
pany's. franchise expired December
20 and that it has no right to &C.
cupy any public property.
Mayor Smith explained that the
ordinance is merely a legal safe
guard of the rights of the city in
the pending gas litigation. 1t would
be very easy, he said. for the city to
take some action which, in the dew
ious ways of courts of law, would
be construed to give the gas COM
pany an extension of franchise.
Such a thing happened a few
years ago in Denver" he said. THE
water company's franchise expired.
Shortly thereafter the city council
passed an ordinance, fixing the
price of water and containing other
regulatory provisions. When Den
yer tried to condemn the plant the
company held that this ordinance
had recognized the company's right
to use the streets. The court up
held this stand and so did the Unit
ed States supreme court.
Add to the Price.
"And the condemnation board
added 100000 to the price the city
had to pay for the plant by reason
of that one little regulatory ordi-
nance which the council unwittingly
passed"
Commissioner Butler asked what
the city should do if the Omaha Gas
company now proceeds to raise the
price of gas to $l5O or more.
THE property owners should
simply refuse to pay it," said the
mayor.
Then the gas company will shut
off the supply OF gas" said Butler.
The mayor said he didn't think
the company would go as far as
that.
"And further, suppose the gas
company obeys this ordinance and
takes up its MAINS" Butler Sup
posed" some more.
"They won't do that" said the
mayor, because then they wouldn't
have a going plant to sell the city
but only some old junk, worth very
little"

She pressed his hand.
No. Very brave" she whispered.

They stepped through the door
way. Half way down the hall
Robinson, Graham, and Rawlins held
a fourth, who had ceased struggling.
Bobby paused, yet, since seeing
Katherine step from the corridor,
his reason had taught him to expect
just this.
The fourth man was Paroles,
nearly effeminate, slender fingered.
Carlos Bobby cried. "You
can't have done these unspeakable
things"
The Panamanian stared without
answering. Evidently he had had
time to control his chagrin, to
smother his revolt from the future
for the thin face was bare of emo
ton. The depths of the eyes as
usual turned back scrutiny. The
man disclosed neither guilt nor the
outrage of an assumed innocence:
neither confession nor denial. He
simply stared, straining a trihe
against the eager hands of his cap
tors.
Rawlins grinned joyously.
You ought to have. medal for
getting away with this, young fellow.
Things didn't look so happy for you
an hour or so aog."
And had half mind" Robin
son confessed, TO refuse you the
chance. Glad didn't. Glad as
can be you made good"
With the egotism any man is like
ly to draw from his efforts in the de-
lection of crime he added easily:
"Of course, I've suspected this
spigotty all along, l don't have to
remind you of that"
Sure" Rawlins said. "And didn't
| put it up to him strong enough to-
inght?"
Paroles laughed lightly.
"All credit where it is due. You
also put it up to Miss Perrine."
The details will straighten all
that out" Robinson said. Il don't
pretend to have them yet"
Il gather not" Paroles unused,
with old Blackburn's ghost still in
the ofing."
THAT talk" Rawlins said, won't
go down from you any more. |
daresay you've got most of the de-
tails in your head"
Il daresay," Paroles answered
dryly.
He fought farther back against the
OBTAINING hands.
rs there any necessity for this
exhibition Of brute strength? You
must find it very exhausting. You
may think me dangerous, and |
thank you; but | have no CUR, and
I'm no match for four men and

Bobby was none too tender with
that. ought to have used my good

TWO OMAHA BOYS
keep WATCH ON
GERMAN Rhine
Cheering Letters Received by
Relatives of Soldiers Now
With the Army of
Occupation.

Two Omaha boys, 1t. Edward J.
Morey, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. T.
Morey, 2550 Jones street, and Corp
H. Bird, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
Bird, 307 Bancroft street, fought in
the final battles in the St. Mihiel re-
gion and along the Alsation front
according to late letters received by
the parents of the boys.
Lieutenant Morey is an officer OF
the 369th regiment, cited for its part
in the Champagne offensive. This
regiment is commanded by Col. Will
liam Hayward. Since his arrival in
France, Lieutenant Morey has been
promoted from second to first lieu
tenant In letter written to his sis
ter, he said:
I'VE arrived in this town the same
day the boche left it so they did not
have much of respite. The Alsa-
tians in the Hun army have returned,
but it rather makes your fingers itch
to see some husky still in boche
clothes. Their language is form of
German, and most of them do not
speak French.
First Watch on Rhine.
"Our regiment held the first
watch on the Rhine of any Ameri-
can unit. | haven't read an Ameri-
can or French newspaper for more
than a week, so | hardly know what
is going on in the outside world.
Heard that | was cited for being
the only second lieutenant left in the
battalion when it was relieved from
the Champagne offensive. One cap
tain, one first lieutenant and one
second lieutenant (myself) were the
only officers who escaped injury or
death. had couple of narrow
escapes but came through without a
scratch"
Corporal Bird fought in battles in
the Argonne forest, St. Mihiel re-
gion and near Metz, from which he
escaped injury and death, according
to letter received by his mother
from him. At the present time Cor
poral Bird is in Amply, France. He
was in the ST. Mihiel region when
hostilities ceased.
Busy to the Last.
In a letter to his mother dated
November II, he wrote: "We quit
firing at o'clock sharp; but we
certainly did shoot bunch of
shells until that time. When we
fired our last shells we yelled a
toast to the allied armies
In later letter Corporal Bird
wrote: II am in Amply, France,
between Verdun and St. Mihiel,
where the big battle took place. l
was in the battle near Metz and in
Verdun, along the St. Mihiel front
wh,n the war ended.
The battle in the Argonne forest
was fierce one; the Huns were in
the forest and had concealed many
guns there. We could not get to
them by direct advance, as they
had innumer1ble machine guns, but
we opened On the woods with artl-
lery fire and continued TO fire for
five days and nights. We made
splinters out of the huge trees.
st. Miniel was in the hands Of
the Huns until about four months
ago, and when we entered the ruined
city we saw inha 5itants who had
been prisoners for four years. They
were certainly glad to be free once
more.
Now that the war is over most
of the boys are expressing desire
to return to their homes. am one
who is 'raring' to get home"
Both Omaha boys are with the
army of occupation, stationed along
the Rhine.
