Women Doctors of Hawkeye State! Discuss Pertinent Questions at ! Start of Independent Water Works Plant for Fairmount Park s Made by Letting Well Contraet. The city can now go ahead and open up the Pettibone ditch which drains a large area north and south of Broadway west of Eighteenth street. Judge Wheeler the district court vesterday handed dowh his decision dissolving the temporary Injunction obtained by Angel Alta, who objected to the city opening the ditch through his property at Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street Mayor Maloney when advised of Judge Wheeler's ruling at once called & special meeting of the city council for this after- noon for the purpose of taking some action in the ditch matter. Now that the city is at lberty to proceed with the opening of this important drainage ditch, Mayor Maloney is of the opinfon that the work should not be delayed. A speclal committes composed of Coun- climen Morgan, Rigdon and Bellinger, ap- pointed to look over the ground and report on the application of the Omaha Rod and Gun club for permission to fence off a por- tion of certain thoroughfares in Cut-Off, will recommend that the request be granted. The committee, accompanied by Mayor Maloney, went to Cut-Off yesterday and looked the situation over. WATER WORKS FOR FAIRMOUNT Neh., Man Gets Con- to Sink Well, As a starter for a. independent water works system for the exclusive benefit of Fairmount park the park commissioners have awparded to C. A. Killlan of Morse Elutf, Neb., the contract for sinking a well at that public resort. It Is the declared intention of the park commissioners to install an automatic electric pump and to ralge the water to a reservolr to be located on the highest point in the park, from which it can be distributed to all noints of the resort. The well Is to be sunk near the main entrance to the park and in the immediate vieinity of the structure erocted at the suggestion of Commissioner Graham and known as the “Rest House.” The ‘otal cost of the independent water works system, the park commiseioners estimate, will be about $3,600. The announcement that the park com- missioners contemplate expending this large sum In a water works system for Fair- mount park has aroused more or less eritl- clsm, in view of the fact that for several years thore has been a general demand that the commissioners complete the bring- ing to grade of Bayliss park “It appears to me.” sald a well known husinessman yesterday. “¢hat the park com- missioners would spend some of the money raised for the mafhtenance of thé parks in {mproving Bayliss park, which is right in the center of the city, in place of erecting “rest houses” and other structures in Fair- mcunt park, which certainly cannot be called crnamental and are of doubtful use. 1 for one cannot see where the economy comes In in instaliing a water works plant in Fairmount park when water is furnished free to the elty parks.” Morse Blufts, traet High School Notes.

He told me to cee Madden and make him a cash offer to settle the strike.” Witness related a later Interview with Madden In which he alieged Madden de-| manded £2.760 for-calling off the strike “‘You'll have to get off your high horse,’ I told him.

Wae talked it over and then I returned to Mad- den. “‘You've got to use some common sense,’ I told him. ‘We have got to agree on a decent price or fight it out on other lines.' Then he came down to §1,50. “1 asked him how Skeff was to pay the money and he said that Skeff should bring along a confidential man to meet a similar agent who would be with Madden. These two agents were to be left alone in a private room where the money was to change haads.” Bkeff when put on the stand sald that he brought the money all in 10 bills to Madden and that the latter told him to put them fn an envelope.

PARIS, May 21.—There was an encounter on the streets of Parls this afternoon be- tween a body of workmen and a detach- ment of police. Twelve policemen were wounded In the struggle, In which the workmen had the upper hand until a de- tachment of cuirassiers galloped up, cleared the streets and made many arrests. The trouble began when a body of dig- gers, after having attended a meeting of building trades, marched down the streets singing the “Internationale” and crying “Down with Clemenceau.” The police a tempted to Intervene, but were met with a storm of missiles, Including stones, glasses and chairs snatched up from nearby cafes. For a short time the immediate nelghbor- hood of the encounter was in a panic. Shops were hastily’ closed and windows strongly barred. There were several minor clashes on the streets and a number of the manifestants were seen flylng from the locality with bruised and bleeding faces. The unionist barbers today voted to go on strike this evening or tomorrow. While the bullding trades workmen at their meet: ing voted to continue the strike, the vote was far from unanimous. Some of the speakers urged that the strugsgle be kept up and that violence be used if necessary. As the meeting broke up the conservative sections shouted: “There is no strike; work."" The situation was quiet this evening, all of the rioters having been dispersed. The Federation of laabor trades has issued an urgent appeal to its various affiflated un- fons to strike.

Indictments long since forgotten in the | press of new sensatlons were incorporated | in the matter presented to the jury.
