GRIPPE GERMS WIN OVER THE DOCTORS' Only Few Phyl;cium Able to Leave | Patients to Attend Conference of Health Officers. OVER ONE HUNDRED EXPECTED It anyone doubted the existence of a great epidemic of grippe and other | ilmees throughiout Nebraska, the| doubt would have been speedily dis- pelled by a visit yesterday to the | opening session of the vourth an-| nual conference of state and . local | health officers at Hotel Rome. Rampant germs of numerous dis- eases are so malignant in all parts of th estate that only a few of the 150 doctors and health officers ex- | pected to attend the convention were able to leave their patients and come to the first sesslon.

BEFORE SENATE = COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-—Hear- ings on the administration army in- crease bill may be concluded by tue senate military committee and work of ‘redrafting the measure begun early next week. Major General Arthur Murray, re- tired, and Brigadier General Crozler, chief of ordnance, were before the senate and house committee, re- spectively, today. General Murray sald that for the actual defense of the United States territory alone, and without considering mainte- | nance of the Monroe doctrine or pro- tecting the interests of Americans abroad, a regular army virtually three times its present size and three strong fleets for the navy would be necessary. General Murray believed, he sald, a peace strength army of 210,000 regulars, | 80,000 of whom would be on overseas duty, could be relied upon to protect the country until & volunteer army of 1,000,000 men could be formed and trained.

Crowley, city chemist of Omaha, mado the first address, on “Septic Tanks,” to the ac- companiment of stereopticon illustrations. Government Man is Here. Dr. A. W. Freeman of Cincinnati, epi- demiologist of the United States public heplth service, is at the convention. He says that epidemics of grippe, Influensza and othef maladies are common- through- out the country this year, but are being held in check by strenuous efforts of doc- tors and health officers. Nobody ever saw a lovelier bridal bou- quet than that sent by Vaughn Spalding to his bride-to-be, Miss Florence Cudahy. It was white orchids and white llacs and the laclest, freshest, loveliest thing im- aginable. And when the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Spalding came down the stairs a the Cudahy house In Banks street in their traveling clothes, the bride wearing orchids this time, she gave the lovely bouquet such a wonderful wallop that it flew away over the heads of the ex pectant oridesmaids into the arms of a waiter. The waiter, unlike most of his kind, had real presence of mind, and in- atead of keeping the bouquet as bis law- ful prize, hurled it aloft, Bobsey Fuller gleefully caught it. In the excitement caused by this diver- sion the bridal couple disappeared out of the back door into a waiting machine, and nobody even had a peep at the going- away gown, which must have been some- thing esimply chic, for Mrs. Spalding dreases like a young dream. For the rest, the Cudahy-Spalding wed- ding was as magnificent as the Cudahy- Niblack wedding, which is saying a great deal, and one wonders why Edward Cudahy is not declaring a moratorium, or something like that, after two such splendid and lavish nuptial entertain- ments in one short season. Mrs. Spalding was married in' white tulle with a court traln of white satin vards long. The cathedral alsles were decked with standards of gray spring flowers, and Mr. Spalding’s ushers knew their business marvelously and were not consulting note books to see who was to sit in E and who wae to be planted in Z. where Miss C:hic;a;j'o M arve;s _d;th; BZeaut_;ofl Wedding of a Former Omaha Gir] Then there was the Paulist choir with 16t ravishing music, and altogether a most impressive ceremony.

The flowers on the wedding table were done by a vral artiste, They were quite wonderful, out of the usual, and not at all set. Sprays of white lilacs, narclssus, here and there a flaming red tulip, pale roses, lavender orchids, all mingled in delicate barlequinry, while two great white candy baskets in nests of glossy spun sugar overflowed with purple hot- house grapes. The Wridesmaids and thelr gowns, too, were original. Mrs. Austin Nibluck, Alice Cudahy, Isabel Robbins, Elizabeth Fuller and Helen Hinde were the chosen ones. They wore sieeveless velvet coats of pastel blue that flared at the hips, and not garnished .with fur, but blue swans- down. Their sleeves and skirts were blue chiffon, thelr slippers silver, their hats close silver capotes with dark biue fruits upon them, and thelr bouquets loose ones of Iflacs and purple orchids. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn Spalding have already thelr summer place at Lake For- est taken. They have leased Stone cot- tage, near the Cyrus McCormick estate, a dear little wooday place like a French cottage with gay window boxes, latticed windows, o tennis court, a vegetable garden, and their own private ‘woods.

Germany Trading Via Firsfi glass Mails LONDON, Jan. $.—The recently inau- gurated censorship by the British gov- ernment of first class mails to and from Germany. has resulted in the discovery fhat Germany has been maintaining a considerable export trade with neutrals in such articles as jewelry, chemicals, laces, pictures and tops, which have been sent as first class mail matter by way of Sweden, Denmark or Holland.

The whole subject of the number of guns necessary, however, was “ripe for over- hauling,” he added, and he believed the European war had shown the necessity for provision of thege weapons on a scale never heretofore dreamed of. He instanced a report that ninety Ger- man soldiers with forty machino guns had kept a whole French army at bay for weeks.

States Have Right to Condemn Land Sites WABHINGTON, Jan, 3.--In a decision of wide effect to water power develop- ment throughout the United States the supreme court held today that states posseas the power to enact laws author- fsing condemnation of power sites and water rights, by right of eminent main. The decision was announced by Justioe Holmes in upholding the constitutionality of the Alabama water power condemna- tion statutes in a ‘case rouching the im- provement of Tallapoosa river. ‘“The principal argument,” sald Justice Holmes, “ia that the purpose of the con- demnation is not a public one. In the organic relations of modern. soclety it may sometimes be hard to draw the line that s supposed to limit the authority of the legialature to exercise or delegate the power of eminent domain. “But to gather the streams from waste and to draw from them energy, labor without brains, and so to save mankind from toil ls to supply what next to in- telligence Is the very foundation of all our achlevements.
