The chief provision of the law, according to local agents, that falla most heavily upon ships In the Pacific ocean trade Is that 7 per cent of the crews must be able to speak the language of the com- manding officers.

BEESON SENDS ENGINEER'S PLAN WEDNESDAY, i | | | Commissioner Withnell is not as enthusiastic as he was over the propo- sition of spending $150,000 for in- stallation of a standard fire alarm system and $20,000 a year for main- tenance. The commissioner has just received from A. G. Beeson of the Nebraska Inspection bureau copy of a long de- tailed statement made by E. R. Townsend, hydraulic and electrical engineer for the Nationsi Board of Underwriters. Mr. Townsend recently appeared before the city council and verbally outlined what he maintained Omaha must do to be saved from high in- surance rates. Mr. Townsend sets forth an astimate of $150,000 as the first cost of a fire alarm |system such as he outlines. In order to come within his requirements and to ad- vance Omaha from 24 to second class 'Iur Insurance rating, this alarm |syAtem must be maintained In a fire- proof bullding, a competent electrical en- gineer must be in charge and two opera- tors present at all times. The present {telephone system of the fire department {to be maintained and the exchange lo- |cated wtih the fire alarm headquarters. More Conditions Named. | To further advance Omaha to 1% class |Mr. Townsend requires pumps for emer-~ |meney service at Walnut Hill pumping |station, & reservolr with capacity from 116,000,000 to 20,000,000, in southwestern part of the city, and soventy-five more hydrants fn congested districts, To bring the city within the 1% class |1t ts further required that over $100.000 {be expendcd for motor fire apparatus. Amendment of bullding laws. additional |building inspectors, and a lot of other {matters declared necessary before lower |Insurance rates will be given, according |to Mr. Townsend of Chicago. | Thinks Townsend Asks 'Poo Much, | Commissioner Withnell belleves Mr. Townsend Is going rather strong | “I belleve we should have more fire ialarm boxes, and it may be' we should |have a new standard fire alarm system. |The chiet insists It is necessary, and [ ALGUST Next the eclergymen repaired to the saloon and hotel of Milder Rros., where n I |alrendy have stated we Intend to install | ern trade.

As to Galveston, he says ““The plers and wharves are iIn fairly good condition and probably rail service | will be resumsd over the causeway by | September 15. H “At Texas City,” says Mr. Booth, “it will be several weeks before the elevators will be In condition to handle grain. Rail service into the city will soon be | resumed, | “At Houston the ship canal withstood | | the storm and sailings are going on with- | | out interruption.” | ‘[Indian Chief's Pass Comes ]%g,_ck WU, The Union Paficlf passenger department | has recelved a reminder of the days when railroad passes were as common as grass and as easy as hay fever to get. The | reminder is one of the passes issued by the company, bearing the numbes $1 and €ood during the year 165, It Is signed by | W. Snyder, who at that time was gen-| | eral superintendent. { The rallroad pass that comes back to | the Unlon Pacific as a relic was lssued | | { to Chlet Washakie of the Shoshone In- | dlans. It seems that Chlef Washakle dur- ing the early days of the construction | rendered some valuable services to the | Unlon Pacific and to reward him, he was given an annual pass over the system, that then consisted of a single track line from Omaha out into Wyoming. | 1t 1s doubtful if Chief Washakie ever used the pass, for it 1s bright and clean, though the ink used in filling it out is a little faded. It seems that years ago, prior to his death, together with some other relics, Chlef Washakie turned the pass over to Judge Carter of Ulnta | county, Wyoming. The judge was the father of Mrs. Maurice Gibson, pure food | inspector of Wyoming. Upon the death of her father the pass came into her | possession, and recently in looking | through some of the effects, ehe came | across it and has sent it to the Union Pacific | Streets Closed at’ | Order of King Ak Mall, it is asserted that the only big | vessel on the Paciffc ocean flying the American flag Is the Minnesota, owned and operated by the Great Northern Rail- road company. Jitney Regulation Issue Postponed The pending jitney regulation question has been deferred another week, to give the jitneors an opportunity te show what kind of a bond they can procure, Representatives of the jitney interests and city officlals held another conference in the office of the city seliciter. The present sticking point is over the form of bond, rather tham the amount. It has been agreed that 32,00 is a reason- able bond. . The city will fostst upon the jitney men following regular schedules, such as may be approved by the supcrintendent of police, but it is likely that a compromise will be made on the matter of sched- ules for trips. Valuables Stolen from Pross’ Room Carl Pross, 24 Davenport street, was the viethim of a thief, who removed a watch and jewelry from his room while he was absent in the afternoon. A. E. Perdercock, 1510 Vinton street, was robbed of 7 by burglars who cut a sereen to enter his home. Victor Gana, 2822 Harney street, was held up by two masked men at Twenty- elghth and Harney streets, who took % cents from him.

But then, the reverend gentlemen wanted to see for themselves—just to see. 8o Rev. 1. A. High hived a competont stenographer and had her make a long list of dates and hours of the night when Hquors of varieus kinds were purchased At varlous places. ' This list ho has filed with the ity councll. He has asked, in the nwme of the Anti-Saloon league, that the license of Rome Miller and of “‘Boobe™ Milder be revoked.
