The city officials are being confronted al- most dally with complaints about the man- ner in which plumbers repalr excavations in streets. Streets are opened to make connections for gas and water and the un- derstanding is that those opening the streets must repair the pavement. Where the work is done under the direct supervision of either the gas or water company there is lttle complaint, and it is the local plumbers who appear to be negligent. This neglect on the part of plumbers and gas fitters has caused the eity to expend considefable money in repairing pavement within the last few months. proper conditon. plumber doing the work. manded of the plumber doing the work.

Flowers had been sent by friends to the Woman's Relief Corps and each grave at Laurel Hill was decorated with an abun- dance of cut flowers and small flags. Ranks were broken at the cemetery and the vari- ous delegations came back on street cars. All /of the cemeteries in the city were vis- ited by details from the Grand Army and the Woman's Relief Corps. Business houses closed at noon and the packers and stock yards shut down as soon thereafter as possible. Some departments of the packing houses did not call men out at all. ‘There was quite a display of bunt- ing and flags on the public school butldings and at the postoffice were placed at bhalf- mast. About Basement Rooms. Parents of puplle compelled to attend school in the basement rooms at the Lincoln school have shown their disple: ure within the last few weeks by keeping their children at home. It has been as- serted more than once within the last few months that the basement rooms in this bullding were unhealthful. Both teachers and pupils have moticed the damp air and & number of reports have been made on the matter. An effort is to be made by those who patfopize the Lincoln school to induce the Board of Education to abandon the basement roome and either secure Tooms in an annex or transter of & portion of the puplls to other bulldings. Milk Gets Bett Sanitary Inspector Jones reports that since the recent rains the milk supplied to South Omaba by the dairies is improving in quality. The increase in supply and im- provement in quality s caused by the re- cent rains and the comsequent growing of grass in pastures. So far during the last thres weeks Do test has shown milk to be below the standard required by ordinance. Dealers Holding Back. Within the last few days agents for east- ern anthracite coal companies have been visiting local coal dealers with a view to placing orders for the winter supply of coal. Dealers are bolding back, an intl- mation has been received from the east that the strike in the coal regions is scon to be settled and that very likely there will be a reduction to the wholesale dealers. South Omaba dealers say that at the prices offered now there would not be a cent of profit in bandling antbracite, and there- fore mo contracts to amount to anything bave been let 80 far.

OMAHA CHINESE IN TROUBLE Local Merchant Visits Flowery Kingdom and Fails to Get Back. HELD AT SAN FRANCISCO BY RED TAPE Customs House Officers Hard to Sate ty of Leo to Enter United States. Omaha Chinamen are very much inter- ested In the fate of Leo Ah Ham, onme of their number who went to China a few monthe ago to visit. He returned to ‘this country more than a month ago, but was not permitted to land, belng held as a re- turned laborer, the inspector at San Fran- cisco claiming that his certificate did not plainly set out the fact that he was a mer- chant. The certificate in question was pre- pared at the office of the surveyor of cus- toms in Omaha before Ham left the ecity. to China to visit, together with his photo- graph and the statement of two residents of Omaha who were acquainted with him In this city and not being a laborer within the meaning of the Chinese exclusion act. When he returned to the country he was detained and bLis papers sent to Omaha for more complste apswers to the gquestions asked. The original statement was signed by A. S. Wolcott, cashier of the Pacific Express company, and by Alfred Thomas, at that time & cierk in the First National bank, both 0f whom kad transacted business with Ham for several years while he was a part- ner in the Wing Tong company of this city, | which has a house on North Sixteenth street. Some of the questions could not be answered by these persons, as they had not followed the daily walks of the Chinaman, but enough was certified to in the opinion of the local government officials, to prove beyond question that Leo Ah Ham should be permitted to return These signers were acked to sign ancther statement, practically identical with that originally signed, which was done Whereabouts Become Mixed. The matter rested at San Francisco for some time, the friends and relatives of Ham becoming more anxious as time elapsed. Letters were written to the Pa- cific port, one of which brought a state- ment from an inspector that Leo Ah Ham had been ordered to be deported May 8, but that upon receipt of a letter of protest from the curveyor of the port at Omaha the deportation order had been abrogated. The letter stated, however, that Ham had been shipped back to China by the Pacific Steam- ship company, which had done that on its own motion because Ham had refused to | pay board bills while in the detention quar- ters, pending the investigation of his case. Thq matter was then placed in the hands of gn Omaha attorney, who wrote to a San Francisco correspondent. This letter, later than the one telling of Ham's deportation, said that he was still in the detention house and that it would require from $100 to $150 to secure his release, but that it could probably be done. The attorneys asked for no money unless the release was secured. Another Chinese Comes Through, A short time after Leo Ah Ham was detained, Leo Chee, another Chinese resi- dent of Omaha, arrived at San Francisco and was detained temporarily. A letter written at the instance of relatives to Senator Millard on the subject brought forth a reply stating that Leo Chee had been released and that the Treasury de- partment has sent to San Franscico for the documents in the case of Leo Ah Ham. The case will be actively pushed in Wash- ington, as there are numbers of Omaha people who know Ham and know that for nearly twenty years he has lived in the city and that for six years he has been in business for himself and not within the terms of the exclusion act.
