The acting mayor said he could not give any such assurance, and he does not be- lleve the council can do so. “This kick is always made” sald Mr. Burmester, “but the business men over- looked their chance when they dld not go to the legislature to fignt for a proper charter for Omaha. This city is growing in a wonderful way and excavation work is everywhere in progress. You cannot build without making accumulations of dirt and rubbish, and thousands of loads of dirt cannot be hauled through our streets every week without littering them from end to end. This condition will probably continue for several years. Just now Farnam street s the center of excavating and buflding work on the portion above Nineteenth, and, of course, the loudest kick comes from the people living and doing business along tnat street.” Sum of $50,000 in Fund. Mr. Flynn insists that no business man or organizations gave him any backing when. he was trying to get the last leg- islature to place a fund at the disposal of the city council to meet just such a con- dition as n “I have a large amount of money, ap- proaching $50,00, In my fund now.” sald the street commissioner. If I could take say $20,000 of it and go at the streets we could chop out the ice and frozen dirt in a short time, but It s not possible to ex- pend that amount of money without know- ing where we are to get it back from. This continual freezing and thawing handi- caps any kind of work except that which is done by main strength. As soon as a real thaw comes we can flush the streeis and get rid of the loose dirt. But we can- not eripple our fund in one or two weeks and be broke the balance of the year. “If we had been able to spend some money in November and December this condition could have been avoided, but at that time no one could show us where we were to get several thousand dollars that afterward .came In from tax collections.

John Mitchell, bartender. “I expect to go off sudden, most any time,” he had sald but the day before in conversation with Mitchell. Cheshire had often declared that he expected the end to come to him just as it did Tuesday at noon. Through the morning Mr. Cheshire had apparently been In his usual good spirits and with no premonition that the end was close. He leaves a widow. His home Is at Twenty-third and F streets, South Omaha. He was 50 years of age.

TENDER OF MONEY ENDS STRIKE Stipulation Signed for Dismissal of Suit, Oarter’'s Men Leave the Job and Union Crews Will Rush Work. The Brandels theater labor controversy came to an end Tuesday morning when (Robert L. Carter, a sub-contractor, was pald $6,984.70 to leave the job with his non- mnfon men, whose presence had caused a strike by 300 union workmen. The Thompson-Starrett company, general contractors for the erection of the theater and office bullding, eliminated the cause of trouble by simple purchase. The trans- actlon was sealed by the signing of a stipu- lation calling for the dismissal of the first injunction sult brought by Carter against the Thompson-Starrett company. This stipulation was filed in district court. Carter's nonunion men called at the theater building at § o'clock Tuesday morn- ing and took thelr tools away, leaving the Job for once and all. There was no friction with the union men. The deal gives Mr. Carter a handsome protit, in that he had performed but a part of the work for which he has been pald. The settlement made by the Thompson- Starrett company covers three sub-con- tracts and relieves Carter ¥rom all obliga- tions whatsoever. The Thompson-Starrett company is mak- ing arrangements for the resumption of the sheet metal work, for which Carter had contracted, at once. The job will not be delayed. Trouble Started by Sul The trouble broke when Carter filed a suit for Injunction agalnst the Thompson- Starrett company last Friday to prevent this company from dlspossessing him of his sub-contract on the ground that his workmen were not efficient. A delegation of union men visited the building and notitied Carter's men to get off the job that afternoon. The following morning an injunction sult directed against all of the was filed by Carter. The strike Saturday morning followed. At a meeting held in the afternoon the unfon men fixed & truce agreement with the Thompson-Starrett company and re- turned to work on Sunday morning pending the result of the injunction suit which has been dismissed by the settlement effected Tuesday morning. The stipulation of dismissal first says “that this petition be dismissed at the cost of the defendants.” The second paragraph recites that Robert L. Cgrter shall be paid $6,98470 at once. The remaining para- graphs are devoted to acknowledgments Has made itself welcome in the homes of the people the world over, by its wonderful cures of (all blood disease and run-down conditions.

The stipulation is signed by Carter and by Frederick Whitton, as vice president of the Thompson-Starrett company. Frederick Whitton, president of the Thompson-Starrett company, s still in the city. At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Business Men's assoclation Mr, Whitton set forth his proposition made to Carter, asking the co-operation of the or- ganization in reaching a settlement with the sub-contractor. He urged the neces- sity of the completion of the Brandeis building at the date set. He explained that a long series of contraets, including theater bookings and office leases, were involved in the delivery of the bullding by the contractors at the proper time. The committee of the association, after a | discussion of the proposition offered by | Mr. Whitton, recommended it to Mr. Carter.
