She walked with faltering steps to the outskirts of the several hundred persons who had assembled for the semi-annual auction sale of uncalled- for United States mail.

EIGHT PER CENT | T0 LIGHT COMPANY Commercial Club Committee Makes Liberal Earning Al- lowance to Electric People. COUNCIL REFERS REPORT In the absence of J. A. Sunderland, chairman of the special committee of the Commercial club of Omaha on electric light and power rates, Fran- cis A. Brogan, a member of that com- mittee, presented to the city council committee of the whole a partial re- port of the operations of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company from 1889 to 1915. Explanation was made that another expert will be engaged to determine a schedule of rates’ the company should charge, based upon the find- inigs of the éngineers and accountants who have been at work for a year. The gist of the partial report is that the committee finds that a_fair investment valuation of the light plant is $4,769,506; that 8 per cent return on that valuation should be al- lowed, this amount being $381,560.48, and that under the schedule of rates in effect August, 1915, the committee recommends a reduction of $80,000 a year “from ‘the total ‘revenué. The committee makes no attempt to sug- gest how this proposed reduction should be applied to the present rates. Another expert will be engaged for that part of the work, Valuation and Earnings. Commenting on the valuation fig- ures adopted by the committee the report reads: “But we have conclud- ed that the valuation og $4,769,506 is not unfair to the company and its} stockholders, and constitutes a neces- sary reduction from the values claimed by it and from those recom- mended by the experts, in order to do justice to the consumers of the company.” ] The valuation total mentioned i3 divided as follows: Physical value of $241,298.20; development expense, $750,000; amount in depreciation re- serve, $583,528. 3 On the subject of reasonable re- turn the report reads: “We find that, beginning with June 30, 1915, and for a reasonable period following that date, until conditions shall have changed, as may be hereafter deter- mined, a reasonable rate of return to be allowed this company on the amount of its investment is 8 per cent per annum on the invested capi- tal; that is to say, 8 per cent on $4,- 769,506, amounting to an annual re- turn of $381,560.” The committee finds that when the company Stopped installation and re- newal of incandescent lamps there was an annual addition of $30,000 to revenues of the company.® During the year ending June 30, 1915, the le- gal expenses of the company amount= | ed to $73,531, referred to as “extra-| ordinary.” The city council accepted the par- | tial report of the committee \\'ithout‘ comment, referring the documents to the city legal department for perusal.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED WOMAN ’ Anfelt Peterson, 3022 Evans street, and Mrs. Minnie T. Wiggs, 3230 Ev- ans street, testified at a coroner’s in- quest Monday afternoon that firemen of Company 11, Thirtieth and Spaul- ding streets, refused to remove Mrs. Hulda Malmberg, 3047 Evans street, from the basement of her residence, which was burning, until they were given orders by the chief. Both Peterson and Mrs. Wiggs as- serted that they arrived at-the Malm- berg residence Saturday morning at 4 o'clock, at practically the same time as the department. That they could see the form of the woman through a basement window, lying on the floor, and that the firemen absolutely did nothing toward removing her until at least twenty or twenty-five minutes afterward, when she was brought to the outside, where she died, were further allegations. With this evidence the jury re: turned a verdict that Mrs. Malmberg came to her death from suffocation, and censured, the members of Com- pany Nor# i refusing-to at once. Units of the company so censured assert that it was practi- cally impossible to reach Mrs. Malm= berg immediately, while no fireman admits making such a statement as that which the two witnesses attrib- ute to them, % Mr, Malmberg, who was injured in a fall from he second story of the burning dwelling, is reported to be improving by those attending him at the Wise Memorial hospital. President Wilson Attends the Funeral 0f His Only Sister Columbia, S. C., Sept. 18—Presi- dent Wilson came here today to bury his only sister, Mrs. Annie E. Howe of Phi{adelphia, who died Saturday at New London, Conn. He attended simple funeral services at the church and then-walked with relatives to the | adjoining cemetery and stood with bowed head and tear-stained face dur- in% the simple rites. he people of Columbia gathered along the streets and outside the church to see the president. During the ride south this morning the plat- form of every station was crowded, but there was no cheering. At sev- eral stops flowers were put aboard the train by school children. The special train bearing the body and members of the funeral party ar- rived here shortly before noon. Au- tomobiles took the president and members of his family directly to the First Presbyterian church. At the | president’s request the city and state officials gave no official recognition to his visit. The last services took place inside an inclosure in the shaded graveyard where .are buried Mrs. Howe's hus- band, the father and mother of the president and several other relatives. All flags in Columbia were at half- mast during the funeral.

R | NOTHING CAN STOP THEM[ Pull Up Trees by Roots and Go on Over Logs and All Obstacles. WALK TI-{ROU.(;H FORESTS Washington, Sept. 18-~The British “tanks," the armored motor cars used in recent assaults on German trenches in northern France so suc- cessfully as to attract world-wide at- tention, were built, for the most part, in Peorfa, IlL, in the form of caterpil- lar tractors, designed many years be- fore the war began to meet some of the difficult problems of modern farming. Except for their armor, their machine guns and their crews, thousands like them are in use today in the United States in plowing, dig- ging ditches, and other labors less heroic than war. M. M. Baker, vice president of the Holt Manufacturing company, ex- plained here today that it was ma- chines made by his company at its Peoria plant that had hurdled through German trenches, walked through forests, and crawled over shell cratdrs in the face of intense gun fire, Did Not Arm Them, “We have sold about 1,000 cater- pillar tractors to the British govern- ment,” said Mr. Baker. “We have had nothing to do with putting armor on them or placing machine guns, but some of our men at Aldershot, England, recently were notified that th¢/ British government intended to armor some of the tractors and use them for work other than the usual towing of big guns. “Germany had some of these trac-, tors before the war began, and, al- though I do not understand just how it occurred, I believe she may have gotten others since then. We have sent some to France and some to Russia. So far as I know, up until the recent appearance of the motor cars the tractors were used only to tow big guns. I undgrstand that Germany had about forty of them in i PR ) war, and recent photographs show that the British are using some of them now for the same purpose.” Can Go Over Anything. Mr. Baker said he did not know how many of the tractors sent to England had been armored and put in service, nor did he know what equipment the British war office had placed upon cars to be used in this work. “It is true,” said Mr. Baker, “that these tractors can go ahead over al- most anything or through almost anything. They can straddle a trench, go through a swamp, roll over logs or climb through shell craters like a car of Juggernaut. It looks uncanny to see them crawl along the ground, just like.a huge caterpillar. In a thick forest, if they encountered trees they could not brush out of their way, they could easily be used to uproot them and clear their own paths.” Mr. Baker said the tractors sent to England weigh about 18,000 pounds each, develop 120 horse power and are built of steel. The caterpillar fea- ture, he explained, is of the utmost importance. Speaking broadly, the tractor crawls on two belts, with cor- rugated surfaces on either side of the body. The corrugated surface is on the ground. On the inside of the belts, on each side of the body, are two lines of steel rails, making four lines in all, Easy to Turn. | “These rails are in short sections, jointed and operate over a cogged VACCINATING MEXICAN WOMEN AT EL PASO—Texas and federal health officials are taking every precaution to keep refugees from Mexico f United States. rom bringing disease into the All persons crossing the international bridge from Juarez into El Paso are vaccinated before they are per- mitted to seek refuge in this country.

" The Stcond New Verk infantry will be one of the first to return. Other regiments will be selected by General Funston. Train equipment used to transport troops recently ordered south will be employed in bringing home the returning regiments, The order ‘was issued ifi line with Secretary Baker's policy of sending all organizations in state mobilization camps to the border before they are mustered out of the federal service. || The thrce North Carolina regiments ordered south Saturday, together with those from Tennessee already on the way, will be the first to reach Gen- eral Funston's command to relieve troops now there. There are 18,000 Guardsmen still in the state camp. These will move as rapidly as the necessary arrangements can be made. It was indicated at the War depart- ment that no general movement of guardsmen homeward would be or- dered until a decision affecting the border situation had been reached by the American-Mexican commission now meeting at New London, Conn. The department has submitted the finad disposition of all border troops, NniunaFGunrd and regulars to the commission. When National Guard organiza- tions are ordered to home stations for muster out, those members who ap- ply may be discharged at border sta- tions when applicatiofs are made in good faith and are approved by the commanding officers.
