AGREE TO SETTLE
 BY ARBITRATION
Continued from Page One -

Continued from Page One rnjuncuon restraining the city from paylng the bile due to The Bridge port Construction Company for work oone last year because the bills were coneracted in excess of the appropr1a- tlons- A second action was brought by ex-Fire Chief Edward Mooney re- straining the city from paying all f'pdlls which were contracted by any department in excess of the appropri- ations. These suits are now pending, and the injunctions are in force pre- venting the city from paying the bills
 As method of adjusting the entire controversy, attorney for the members of the Chamber of Commerce, David s. Day, and Thomas M. Cullinan, at torney for the company, have agreed upon plan of arbitration. The members of the Chamber of Com meroe who brought the injunction, are to select one arbitrator and the Bridgeport Construction company an- other, and these two third. The arbitrators will determine whether or not the bills in question are prop erly payable, either in full or in part, on the basis of fair business princi- pies, leaving out of consideration en- tirely, for the purposes of reaching their determination, the legal objec- tons raised in the injunction.
 The sole question for arbitration will be whether or not the city re- ceived a fair equivalent for the pend Ing DlllS OI the company. II Ile dr. bitrators find that the city has IT" ceived a fair value for the bills ren- dered then the members of the Chamber of Commerce are to join with the Bridgeport Construction company and cooperate in every way to accomplish the legal payment by the city of all bills which are now held up on account of the dnJunc- tions.
 The arbitrators have not yet been agreed upon. MT. Day is absent from the city today, and upon his return tom the men to arbitrate the question will probably be selected.
 Robert M. Donnelly, of the Bridge port Construction Company, has been insistent from the beginning of the trouble that the city had received a dollars worth for every dollar charg- ed. hesabne He ousn sneetaoietaoi ed He has been ready at the outset to turn his books over to the plaintiffs in the action and let them satisfy themselves as to the fairness of his charges. This, however, his attorney would not agree to, insisting that MT. DonnelIy should have some repre- sentative present when the question was to be determined. The arbitra- ton agreement is the compromise de- cided upon.

Helping Hand Week. At Howlands
 For Housewives

Even experienced housewives and particularly those just beginning to acquaint themselves with the funda- nentals of cookery, can get much in formation at Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer's practical demonstrations of how to prepare various "eatab1es' in the most economical fashion, at the How land Drygoods Co, all this week. are given. Mrs. Rorer, while giving instructions, willingly answers many questions.
 Mrs. Rorer is domestic scientist extraordinary and her clever methods of cooking have afforded her wide prominence. Housewives are grate full for the valuable advice given in her famous cook book, which ex- plains just how to do things in the kitchen, in the easiest and most Sani- tary way. Practically every page of the book is filled with demonstra tions and Mrs. Rorer invites everyone con- fronted with the difficult problems of cookery to make her acquaintance, so that she may lessen that awful bur den" of the average housewife, and even invites the husband to view her model kitchen.
 Tomorrow casserole dishes and oven cookery will be taught, while on Friday, meat dishes canning and preserving, jelly making and deserts are to be featured. On Saturday. the last day, Mrs. Rorer will tell how to serve tempting cold dishes for hot days, and will give new recipes for delicious salads and sandwiches for pionics.
 Besides the attraction of having an expert cook in the exhibition, oth- CT demonstrations are featured such as the potter's wheel, where fascinat- ing vases, bowls, urns and the like are made from clay, shaped by hand. Another interesting section is the glass cutting by means of three kinds of wheels being used in the process and explained by MT. Dugan. Lamp shade making proves an attractive art also, besides demonstrations in the fireIess cookers, and numerous other features which are bringing large crowds daily to the store.

 Captain L. R. NJ. Kerr, master of the Ruford declared his ship had not received an S. O. s. from the Tokuyo NIaru but was attracted to the str1ck- en vessel by sighting the column of smoke.
 we had just been having boat dri1l," said Captain Kerr, when saw the smoke in the distance we were twelve miles distant then and 55 mn utes later we were on the scene.
 There were constant explosions and with every explosion the flames shot a hundred feet into the ar ana ba1es of cotton were hurled 200 feet high.''

Progress of the Crops.
Weekly Crop Bulletin Of the Agricultural
Bureau, Omaha Chamber of

The return to normal temperature con-
ditions after TIE severe storm OF last
week ena bles us to take stock of the
damage done to agriculture and get oor
bearings for real crop progress now that
we may fairly assume that winter will
no longer linger In the lap OF spring. The
cold wave, central in this section when
our last weeks bulletin was given to the
press. progressed rapidly eastward. 1t
reached the st. Lawrence valley by Sum
day and embraced practically the whole
country as far soutt as central Texas.
Damage to farm crops mostly con-
fined to the middle SOUTH where meat
and oats are heading and corn, cotton and
truck are far enough along to suffer from
freezing. Tte damage to wheat Is not ma
terial though Oklahoma and southern IL
linois report unfavorably. But oats and
alfalfa are injured over wide area.
Southern Iowa has replanted a considerable
area Of oats injured by the April IL
freeze. but, while tEe later storm was
more severe. snow accompanied 1t in the
upper Mississippi valley and protected
all small grain crops 1t Is safe to say
winter wheat shows progress during the
week, taking the country over.
The cotton belt has evidently lost dur
ing the week in all her important In
terests. Heavy cold rains In the western
part of the belt where the soil was pre-
viously well saturated. will make the
stand of corn and cotton poor. The east
crn part of the belt continues to suf
fer from drought and the freeze caused
heavy loss OF rrult ana garden truck. Sc
we're storms resulted in great property
damage and some loss Of life.
The east where agriculture is not so
far advanced, suffered severely in loss of
fruit New Jersey. Pennsylvania and New
York state report heavy loss of grapes.
cherries and peaches. But 1t is thought
apples are still safe in New York. Mich
igan and Ohio orchards suffered to the
same extent apparently as those of New
York-in fact. tie lower lake region was
hard hit by the severe cold of April II.
AS this Is ora of our most dependa BILE
fruit districts. loss in that quarter is a
very serious thing, following the nearly,
IL not total, loss in the central fruit
belt.
Tie spring wheat belt and Pacific north
west report very favorable conditions.
Seeding of small grain is nearly complet-
ed and in the intermountain country very
little damage from freezing has heen ac-
crued to fruit and other susceptible crops.
California and Nevada have suffered Sc
verely from drought. cold. and higk winds.
All stone fruits, grapes and apples "suf-
fered widespread injury" In the south
west long continued drought has kept
pastures short that many sheep are
starving. Efforts to get them to pas
lures is difficult, since the sheen are too
weak to trave' and many Of the range
flocks are out of reach Of rail- transpor-
tation.
