A petition from the Willow Springs Dis- tillery company and citizens in the vicinity of Fourth and Hickory streets asked for a water main and hydrant, saying that prop- erty valued at $75,000 owned by them is ontirely without fire protection. Lobeck said that Superintendent Hunt of the water company had told him the hydrant, as well as others, might be placed if the council desired, but other councilmen de- murred, declaring they did not know ex- actly where the council came in on the water question, belleving that it was in the -hands of the new water board. So nothing was done. The question brought up another, that of permanent quarters for the water board, and It was declded to fit up a large room on the second floor at present unoccupled. It is on the east side of the corridor and next to the Board of ¥y Protests. Attorney Ogden and Charles Metz ap- peaved for the Mets Brewing company and protested against the proposed closing of Martha street at its intersection with the Burlington and Union Pacific tracks. The couticil has planned for a subway under Baneroft street'to the south, which would divert the travel from Martha street. At- torney Ogden. explaibed that the closing of Martha t, where a flagman is now maintaitied by the rallroads, would injure property owned by .the Metz company on Martha stréet.” Clty Engineer Rosewater stated, that Martha Btreet did not extena across the tracks, never having been ded!- cated 'fonthe oity, and therefore was no authorized highway at all at the intersec~ tion with the tracks.

Creighton college, with Thomas F. Me- Govern, led In the second contest of the Nebraska Collegiate Oratorical assoclation last night at Creighton hall, the decision of the judges being: First, Creighton; sec- ond, Wesleyan; third, Bellevue; fourth, Cotner; fitth, Doane; sixth, Grand Island. The Judges were: Composition—Ross Hammond of Fremont, Rev. E. Van Dyke Wight of Hastings and P. F. Doyle of Lin- coln. Delivery—F. A, Mclean of South Omaha, W. H. Clemmons of Fremont and Emmett Finley of Couneil Bluffs. It was the second oratorical contest to declde on the representative of Nebraska colleges at the interstate contest to be held at Cleveland, O., May 1. The first contest was held at Lincoln January 30. At that time ome of the judges ignored some of the rules ablished for grading apers and placed three contestants in second place. This gave Creighton first place, Cotner second and Doane third, which was the result announced. Then the mistake of the judge was discovered and Lyle 1. Abbott was called upon to decide. His decision gave Creighton first place on points, Cotner second and Doane third, Again objection was made and after con- siderable argument, during which one of the colleges offered to submit the question to the decision of the judges of the su- preme court, it was decided as the best way out of the misunderstanding to hold an- other contest. In the meantime the officers of the association had given to Frank Montgomery, Crelghton's representative, the cash prize and the credentials which would cause him to be recognized as the representative of the Nebraska association at the interstate contest. When the second contest was agreed upon by the representa- tives of the colleges he flatly refused to have any part in it, clajming to hold the first place without question and saying that it there must be another contest it should be for second place. While the represent- atives of Creighton sympathized with him they could do no mofe than abide by the de- cision of the association board, and Thoma: cussion with the representatives of other colleges, substituted for the original or- ator. Rutherford B. McWhorter took the place of Theodore Cooper of Bellevue col- loge, but with these exceptions the repre- sentatives of the colleges were the same as at Lincoln, as follows: W. L. Mellingway of Cotner, Miss Florence B. Hopewell of Grand Island, Mrs. Minnte T. England of Wesleyan and ‘Arthur F. Gulliver of Doane. Competitors Had Much Support. University hall was filled to overflowing with the friends of the six schools .in the association, each school sending a large delegation, the members of which were seated together and from. time to time gave college yells to let their friends in the other parts of the hall know that they were taking a lively interest in the contest then pending. The first number on the program, whizh followed the Introductory remarks of J. MacD. Wheeler, who presided, waa by the, representative of Cotner university, W, L. Mellingey, who spoke of e Mimalpg nl Combines. oy Huthartord B, MeWhorter ' of BeHevus college, who, came next, spoke of Booker T. Washington. 4 The third speaker was Miss Hopewell of Grand Island ecoll , who spoke of “The Southland’s Burde: After this came a song by the Belle¥ue quartet, “Oft In the Stilly Night."” The fourth speaker was Mrs. Minnie T. England of Wesleyan university, who spoke of "“The Statesmanship of Alexander Ham- ilton."” Arthur F. Gulliver of Doane college was the fifth lpalker and his thamo was “David Livingstone. The last of the mnl,eltlnll was Thomas F. McGovern of Creighton, whose theme was “Principles and Patriots.” Following this address Elmer Umstead played a plano solo, the sextet from the opera ‘“Lucia di Lammermoo! This was followed by a recitation by D. J. Hurley, whose humorous selections held the au- dience until the decision of the judges was aunounced.

DAMAGE TO BUILDING IS NOT HEAVY Two People Overcome by Smoke, but are Revived Without Much Dif- fleulty—Ori Mystery. The Barker hotel startled everyone at 10:30 o'clock last night by starting in on-a blaze of glory from the rear upper story. But the blaze was subdued without serious damage to the building, and while the fire- men were at work the usual amusing and stirring scenes were being enacted in the corridors which go with a night hotel fire which 1s not dangerous. The damage to the bullding will run between $1,600 and $2,000, largely through water, and eight or ten guests and employes of the hotel lose nearly their whole wardrobes. Fourteen rooms were more or less damaged by the blaze, with some partitions burned through and a plece of the roof gone. The fire originated in a storeroom at the top of the central stair and clevator shaft. The cause j& unknown. George Hart, a driver for the Fred Bush Transfer company, and Electriclan H. C. Lutzenberger of the Orpheum were rendered uncomscious by smoke, but suftered no serious injury. The bullding is the property of the Joseph Barker estate and is Insured, with con- tents, for $20,000. The hotel is managed by Frank Barker. There were about 1560 guer ¢ A. B, Tonholm thinks that he was the first to give the alarm.. S. A. Hanson, who roomed with Tonholm, says that he was awakened by the crackle of flames and a red glare through the transom. He waked his roommate, who opened the door and shouted fire. Others were awakened and began to shout. Carl Frisbie, the small elevator boy, hearing the shouts, ran his elevator up to the third floor and, seeing the fire, ran down to the clerk, Willlam Gordon, who turmed in the alarm. Mane er Barker, who rooms on the second floor, was one of the first about. Most of the guests on the top floor were able to make their escape by one of the stalrways, but §. E. Mitchell of Chicago was cut off and used the fire escape which opened from his | room. “Baldy” Sowers and Harry Smith, | who roomed next the storeroom, also were forced down the fire escape. A. F. Robin- son ran through the hallway to the stairs and was burned slightly on bis hand. Tilly Letz, the pastry cook of the hotel, is said to have become frantic with fear and to have tried ‘o jump through & window. Hanson and Tonholm, after starting the alarm, looked to thelr own safety. They made & rope of sheets which would not have reached to within three floors of the alley. Tonholm also dropped his vest, with his watch in It, coat and overcoat out the window. They were later returned to him by Detective Drummy, who found them. Hanson and Tonholm finally escaped by the stairs. Two are Overcome.
