HOWELL UNABLE
TO FORCE AHEAD
CHARTER. BILLS
House Committee on Cities and
Towns Refuses to Bring
Out Omaha Meas
ures for Action.

100 rencws interest in the city hal
in connection with the calling of an
other city charter convention.
Proponents and opponents oil
these measures have been travelling
to and from Lincoln with consider
able regularity for several weeks.
File No. los contains a provision
to give to the Omaha city council
the power to initiate public i'm
provement projects, subject to pro-
tests from property owners. The
present law gives the property own
ers the right to initiate through petit
stions.
Attacked By Citizens.
This feature of the bill drew
strong fire from Omaha people. An
other section contemplated requir-
ing the street railway company to
pave all street space between 10
inches from the outer rails. Other
features referred to the municipal
coal yard, $500,000 revolving fund
for street improvement districts,
and $4,000 annual appropriation for
half cost of grading.
City Commissioner Butler be-
lieves it is now time to call another
charter convention, or to submit the
charter which was drawn last year
and held up on technicality.
Corporation Counsel Lambert is
looking up the law on the city char
ter phase of the situation.
Stronger Fight at Home.
Personally, he is of the opinion
that those who fought so hard at
Lincoln against certain features of
Senate Files Nos. los and 100, would
be able to make stronger fight on
home grounds if those same features
should be incorporated into pro-
posed home rule charter.
Defeats Museum Plan.
II am sorry on account of the
prospective defeat of these bills at
Lincoln, because it will prevent
realization of my plan for sub
stantial museum and library" said
Mayor Smith. "The present law al
lows a bond issue of only $250,000
for this purpose, and I do not think
that substantial structure of this
kind could be erected for that
amount. ! proposed authorization of

GERMANY May
REJECT treaty,
SAYS MINISTER
Will Sign No Pact Deviating
From Wilson's "Points,"
Asserts Count Won Brock
dorff-Rantzau.

Berlin, April ll.-(By the As
sociated Press.)-Count Won Brock
orff-Rantzau, foreign minister,
speaking before the national as
senbly at Weimar, said Germany
would not sign peace treaty which
deviated in any essential from Pres
ident Wilson's fourteen points"
The financial demands to be
made in the peace treaty are OBJ
viously causing as much difficulty
to our opponents as those regarding
territory" the foreign minister said.
1T is impossible to solve the ques-
ton of financial claims without me-
gotiating with our experts at the
conference table. We will give
clear account to our opponents rel
alive to their demands and our abil-
ity to pay.
"Our opponents cannot dismember
and paralyze Germany and at the
same time extract from the resources
of the country the enormous sums
they expect from them For that
purpose we require the release,
industrially and agriculturally, of
the important west, which, contrary
to the armistice terms, is cut off
from the rest of Germany.
Want Blockade Raised.
"We need to have the blockade
speedily raised and we will require
the importation of foodstuffs on
conditions which will make their
purchase possible.
"All the states which participated
in this war find themselves in the
same distress. and hardly a nation
, is not disappointed by a peace that
is terrible danger because of the
encouragement given it by dis
ruptive forces"
Chancellor Scheidemann ad-
dressed the assembly on Germany's
foreign policy. He said the policy
would be based on three principles:
Strict observance Of all treaties, I'M
swerving protection of vital German
interests, and maintenance of a
spirit of unreserved Cancellation
with the entire world. He declared
that Germany must deprive two
sworn foes of international under
standing-imperialism and chauvin-
, ism-of all possibility of influenc-
ing its foreign policy in any direc-
ton.
Sees Danger at Home.
Herr Scheidmann said he saw the
most danger for the success Of this
foreign policy within Germany,
where incessant commissions of I'M
rest, strike after strike and spirit
of revolt threaten the whole house
with destruction
The chancellor asserted that the
new revolution in Munich with a
soviet republic there proclaiming an
offensive and defensive alliance with
the Hungarian and Russian soviet
endangers peace just at the moment
when I'VE give indisputable proof
of our will for peace and our re-
pugnance for any policy of the
mailed fist"
Herr Scheidemann concluded by
saying that the German people must
ward off all violent attempts made
to take them by surprise. He ap-
pealed for help in seeing that the
word "force" should disappear from
the dictionary and that it may not
"be perpetrated in its worse sense
in a mailed fist peace"

Budapest Socialized by
Coercion Of Red Troops
Aristocratic Women Reduced to Want and Fashionable
Resorts Have Been Converted Into Homes for
Workmen- Industry Being Organized on Trust
Idea

Budapest, April ll.-(By Asso.
GATED Press. 1.-The elections ir
Hungary for the creation of soviet
councils passed of without reported
incidents, soviet organizations be-
ing formed in the country districts
by means Of this balloting. The
whole process was carried out un-
der the coercion of the red army,
with the majority of the voters in
many places not appearing to know
why they were voting.
The work of organizing the coun-
try is being feverishly continued,
the central feature of the plan is to
apply the trust idea to all indus
tries, putting each group of fac
tcries-textiles, glassware, hard
ware, etc.-under one expert. who
is made responsible for its opera
ton.
Socialize Clubs.
All the clubs and fashionable ex-
elusive resorts hae been specialized,
including the Park club. The
Jockey club has been converted into
laborers home and the splendid
race course, which cost a years
time and $5,000,0O0 to make, is
being plowed up for potatoes.
There is an organization of wo-
mems red guards functioning now,
but its 100 members are occupying
themselves for the most part with
propaganda work. Many of the
aristocratic women Of the city have
been reduced to want. Baroness
Schossberger, once having property
worth 100000 or more, now is
playing harp in cheap restaurant
for her food.
Palaces Converted.

TWO CRUISERS
LANDUSTROOPS
At MURMANSK
Arrival Of Ships Expected to
Relieve Mutinous Spirit
Among Americans in
North Russia.

/ Washington, April 1l.-Arrival OF
the American cruisers, Galveston
and Chester, at Murmansk, report
ed today in an Associated Press
dispatch, is expected by officers to
relieve the situation among Amer
lean troops in the Archangel region,
a company of which 10 days ago
refused to 60 to the front until argu-
ments were presented by their Off
GERS.
The vessels carried Brig. Gen. w.
P. Richardson, who is to assume
command of the American forces
and two companies of railway en-
gineers. General Richardson and
the engineers were ordered to Muir
mansk at the time it was decided
to withdraw the entire allied force
in northern Russia, and their ar
rival is expected to reass,ire the
American troops and prevent spread
of the mutiny.
No further information as to the
mutiny was issued today by the War
department. 1t requires some days
for cables to reach Archangel and
so far as could be learned, the de-
partment had>no additional advices.
The specific purposes in sending
the two additional companies Of
American railway engineers as ex-
planned by Secretary Baker to the
military committees of congress last
February, was to keep open the
railroad from Murmansk south to
point near the White sea. This
line, he said, was regarded as vital
by the British for the movement of
supplies or reinforcements.
Ships to Serve as Screen.
Arrival of the two American
cruisers. at Murmansk increases the
American naval force there to three
vessels. The gunboat Yankton was
already on duty in. these waters.
There has been some talk that the
Yankton would be relieved by the
Galveston since the Chester has al
ready been assigned to return to
the United States, but it appears
more probable that all three ships
will remain, supplemented by Eagle
boats and submarine chasers.
These vessels, with whatever
forces the British are sending, will
act as screen for the withdrawal
OF the entire expedition as soon as
weather permits. In the meantime,
the additional British troops being
sent forward will be available, as
Secretary Baker has pointed out, for
reinforcements if they are needed.
Naval officials have admitted,
however. that it was for the pur-
pose of proceeding to Russian
waters that the Galveston sailed to
England. Other vessels about the
movements of which there is much
mystery are the cruiser Chattanooga,
Eagles Nos. l, and 8, and half
dozen submarine chasers.
Bolshevik Loss in Battle 400.
London, April 1.-THE British
war office, in a statement today on
the north Russian campaign, esti-
mates the bolshevik losses in the at
tack on Sred Mekhrenga on April
5 at 400 in killed and wounded. The
bolsheviki attempt to break through
to the Dvina and cut off the troops
farther south on the river was foiled.
May Evacuate Sebastopol.
Paris, April 1.-THE advance of
the bolsheviki is likely to force the
allies to evacuate Sebastopol, on the
Black sea near the southern extrem-
ity of the Crimea, according to In

ADDED FORCES ARE
 SENT INTO OMAHA
Government Is Determined to Keep Order: Condition of Mayor Is 4.
 --. Better Today.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30.-Additional military forces--11 officers and 25O men from Camp Funston, Kansas, and 20 officers and 550 men from Camp Grant, Illinois-today joined the federal troops on duty here as result of the race rioting last Sunday. Maj jor- General Leonard Wood, com mander of the Central department of the .\.niN, also arrived to take charge of the military operations.
 The city was quiet during the night and there was no sign of trouble. A heavy rain, which kept the people off the streets, was considered a great aid to the authorities, who had taken precautions to guard against a fresh outbreak of Sundays rioting which resulted in the lynching of sl negro, the death of one white man, the in being done by the burning of the court house and an attempt by mob to lynch Mayor Smith.
 Reports today from the hospital where the mayor is confined were that his condition is improving. The attempt to lynch the mayor came after repeated endeavors on his part to prevent rioters from securing William Brown, negro, who was final ly taken from the county jail, shot, hanged and burned because he was the man who recently attacked nine year-old Agnes Lobeck.

NEW HEADQUARTERS
New Club Rooms of Zionist Organiza- tiOn Will Be Dedicated in the Near Future.

With the new club rooms of the Zionists church nearing completion, everything will be in readiness for the dedication of the rooms, which will take place next Sunday night The club rooms were at one time used for the children's classes at the church but have been renovated and will prove satisfactory for club rooms.
 At the dedication Sunday evening there will be many speakers of prom thence from all parts of the state. Addresses will be delivered by local men as well as out of town partes Following these addresses there will be a report of the delegates, who at tended the Zionists convention at Chicago recently. A program of in teresting entertainment has been ar ranged by the younger class and will be presented following the report of the delegates.
 The 2ionists in this city have been growing stronger each year and the church sand organizations report that they have been prosperous. With the erection of new club rooms it is probable that the members of the church will eventually construct a hall, which has been greatly favored by many of the ZioniSts.
 There will be an election of officers for the Zionists organization for the ensuing year. New officers elected will enter upon their duties shortly as the terms of office for the present officers expire at an early date. Fol- lowing the business transactions there will be a dinner given.

Flu Cases HOPELESS.

At the State Conference for Better
Health in Maryland held last week at
lowering Hall, Baltimore, Frederick
County WAS represented by Thomas M.
Williamson, J. Paul Wright and Miss
Florence E. Gardner. The object of this
conference was to initiate this year
campaign in the interest of the Red
Cross Christmas Seals and the fight
against tuberculosis in Maryland.
The most startling fact brought out at
the conference was the statement by DR..
Martin F. Sloan, Superintendent of Eu-
dowood Sanatorium, that as result of
the influenza epidemic there has been an
increase of more than 16 per cent. in the
number of tuberculosis cases in the
state. The sad fact of these cases is
that owing to the weakened condition of
the "flu" victims, tuberculosis has over
whelmed them, and more than so per
cent. of the cases due to the "fiu" are
hopeless.
