Thn executive commltlec of the exposition
hold Its rcgtilnr weekly meeting at the Com
mercial club rooms yesterday Htternoon.
Chairman I.lnilscy , manager o ( the He-
pa it until cf W ys nnd Means , reported
that lu > hiul not been active ot late In pushIng - "
Ing the docmlng ot sulHicrlptlons to exposition -
position Ktouk , as he had ( elt that the pre
vailing sentiment In Omaha desire * to see
something going up In the way of buildings
bcforo more subscriptions can be secured ,
He snld that na soon as work was actively
under nay nt the grounds ho would take-
up the work of canvassing the city thor
oughly , and believed that A satisfactory
amount c.uuld then be secured. In this con
nection Mr. Llndscy read a financial state
ment prepared by the secretary , showing that
the contracts for the construction of build
ings and other work which uro now out
standing , nmuunt , lu the aggregate , to about
$100,000. in addition to this thu contract
for the Agriculture 'building ' will be let to
day , It b-lng estimated that the building
will cost about J50.000. The amount of cash
now In the treasury was stated to bo $137-
000 , In addition to which It was stated that
the park commission will repay to the ex
position management about $13,000 , which
JiaH been expended by the exposition on the
portion ot the main court , which will be
known hereafter an Kountzo park , making
a cash balance of about $150,000.
The question of the delay In the construe-
tlon of the Manufactures building was
brought up , nnd It was stated that Contrac
tor Strchlow Is now four weeks behind on
his contract. Tills delay was attributed tea
a scarcity of cars , In which to ship the
lumber to Omaha from Wisconsin. It was
stated that the lumber Is white and yellow
pine , and" Is bolng furnished by II. F.
Cady , and that he says the lumber Is all cut
and will be along In due time. The ad
visability ot using hemlock lumber from an
other section of the country 'was discussed ,
but no action along this line was taken.
Some of the members of the committee
criticised the superintendent ot construction
for not bringing this matter to the atten
tion of the committee souier , and also for
not taking Htcpa to prevent delay In the
erection of the buildings.
COMMITTEE WAS NOT NOTIFIED.
The superintendent of construction also
came In for certain nrltlclsm In connection
with the erection of the frame fire trap
against the exposition fence which Is to
bo used ns a planing mill. Jt was the
sentiment of the committee that Gcraldlne
should have warned the committee of the
dangerous building which was being erected
almost against ono of the largest buildings
on the giounds Instead of cutting a gate
through the fence and facilitating access to
the grounds from the planing mill.
Tht- application of the Nebraska Exposi
tion commission for 10fi 10 feet ot space on
the bluff tract for the Nebraska building
was laid bcforo the committee by President
Wattles , acting manager of the Department
of Dulldlngs and Grounds. The application
contained provisions In which the com
mission asked for certain designated "pub
lic comforts" in the stale building , such as
the privilege of giving other states the privi
lege of having ofllcS room In the state build
ing , operating cigar , lunch and news stands
for the convenience of visitors to the state
building , etc. Mr. Wattles recommended
that the application for space be granted
when It was made to comply with the rules
of the exposition by being accompanied by
drawings showing the plans and full details
for thu construction of the building. Ho
also recommended that the following privi
leges bo granted In the building , provided
no charge Is made for the same by the state
commission : Desk or olnce room for states
not erecting their own buildings ; postolllce ,
check rooms , telegraph and telephone ex
changes , subject to the rules enforced by
the exposition ; reading room , room for ac
commodation of the state press , music and
auditorium privileges , toilet rooms , subject
to the rates for water , etc. , In force on the
grounds ; the police for the building to be
subject to the rules and regulations of the
exposition. It was further recommended
that the privilege of conducting stands for
the sale of newspapers , fruit , cigars , etc. ,
bo referred for future consideration. The
recommendations of ( ho acting manager
were adopted after discussion.
Mr. Wattles submitted a proposition from
the estate of A. J. Poppleton for the use
of the land In Sulphur Springs addition ,
which will be used by the exposition , being
the lower portion of the bluff tract. The
proposition provided that the exposition
8hou\cl \ pay all special taxes levied against
the property except that levied for repavlng
Sherman avenue. The proposition was ac
cepted nnd the president was authorized to
execute a contract.
PLANS FOR AUDITORIUM.
Acting Manager Wattles recommended
that an auditorium bo located In the south-
cast corner of the main court , at Sherman
avoiiuo and Plnkney street , the building to
have a seating capacity of ' 1,000 and to cost
not to exceed $15,000. The recommendation
was adopted and plans were ordered drawn
for such a building.
A proposition from the Fidelity and Cas
ualty company to take up the personal bond
given by Contractor Strchlow on the Manu
factures building and give the exposition n
surety company bond on his contract was
accepted.
Mi1. Wattles announced that the plans for
the Liberal Arts .building had been com
pleted nnd that bids for the construction
ot thu building had been called for , to bo
' opened September 18. Ho also announced
that Colonel Lounsbcrry , vlco president for
North Dakota , had tiled a formal application
for 10,000 feet of space for that state's ex
hibit.
Prfwldcnt Wattles , as acting manager of
the Department of Exhibits ; reported an
application from Miss Mellona Dutterfleld of
Omaha for a position in the Ceramic depart
ment. Action on the application was de
ferred to await the return of Manager Uruco
of that department.
When the reading of bills was taken up the
committee drifted Into a general discussion
on matters In general , A bill of Clement
Chasu for letter heads and other stationary
furnished the supervising architects , amountIng -
Ing to $20 , was accompanied by a statement
that the same material , If It had been pur-
chcuod by the exposition management , would
Jiavo cost $8 , The bill was , -therefore , or
dered reduced to the latter amount.
The next bills to attract attention were
three bills for lumber used for constructing
n temporary bridge across the lagoon nt
Twentieth street , These bills amounted to
J21G.K1. and investigation showed that D ,
Geraldlno. superintendent of construction ,
liad bought the lumber without going
through the required form of securing a
requisition as provided by the rules of the
exposition , Mr. Wattlrs said Geraldlno had
told him the bridge was absolutely necessary
for contractors In hauling their material onto
the grounds for the erection of the buildings ,
but the president stated that ho had uo per
sonal knowledeg on the subject ,
GEHALDINE'S ' METHODS DISTASTEFUL.
The members of the committee expressed ,
their strong dissatisfaction at the arbitrary
methods of the mipcrlntendoat of construc
tion In purchasing material In direct viola
tion of the rules and having the bills sent
in for payment after the material had been
used , and there was no recourse but to pay
( hem. No ono knew whether the rule requir
ing competitive bids to be secured had been
observed or not.
Out of this discussion developed the fact
that a former employe of Goraldlno on the
Chicago drainage canal named Tarn had
boon on the pay roll for nearly a mouth
without any action on the part of the osecu.
tlvu committee. A request for the appoint
ment of Tarn was made by Acting Manager
Wattles about two weeks ago , but thu mat
ter was laid over for the reason that the
committee decided that tbero was no lutme-
dlata necessity for increasing the pay roll
by the addition of another hlgh-rnlariod war * .
It WM stated yesterday that Tarn's name ap
peared on tlin p y roll for 1a t month , the
time Indicated on the pay roll showing that
'ic had been employed some time bofora
ho request for his employment WM mail *
o the committee. No action wan taken on
ho matter ,
Another matter which was referred to wan
n Item appearing on the pay roll , showing
hat the head draughtsman In the offlco
if the niipotrlilng architects was on the list
'or ' JOO for sixty hours' overtime during the
month for August , In addition to hlu regular
alary of $203.33. There was some comment
n the f/iet that this same man had been
aid but $1.SOO per year for the same work
t the World's fair , but Is now receiving
2,500 per year , In addition to being furnl. hcd
ransportatlon to and from Chicago t > ach
month to visit his family ; but no action was
akcn.
It wan announced that Collector nhoades
ad resigned and Collector Copclnnd was or-
cred laid off for the present.
The committee will meet at C o'clock ihls
.fternoon to open the bids on the Agvlcul-
uro building. The contract will bo awarded
j a t once In order to expedite the work as
' nuch an possible. A blank contract will bo
Teparcd and will bo Oiled In na soon as the
owest and best bidder is known and he will
lie asked to execute It forthwith.
Before the committee adjourned the notion
. thn last mooting In Instructing the chair
man to request the board of directors to
mango the plan of organization to make the
resident a member of the executive com-
nlttro was reconsidered , and the matter was
aid over until a full attendance of the room
ers of the committee can bo secured.

The Transmlsslsslppl and International
Exposition Is to bo boomed In the south by

They will occupy two Pullman sleeping cars
nnd they will ho gene eight days. Twcnty-
flvo members of the party will bo from
Omaha , nnd the remaining forty will bo

owns In the state.
The party has been organized by the Heal
Rstato exrhnnRC , and will go to Galvcston
to attend a convention of the Deep Water
Utilization rommltteo of the south. This
meeting will convene on October G , It waste
to have been held earlier In the year , but

excursion. The necessary transportation has
been secured throughout and a representative
l > arty of Nebraskans has besn made up. The
committee will today make official applica
tion to the exposition management for a large
quantity of exposition literature to take along

pointment of the two best exposition orators

Out of Sympathy , tlie I'nliitcrn I-ay
DIMVII Tliulr llriiMliCR.
The union painters and paper hangers of
Omaha are on a strike , and while there was
not a non-union shop In Omaha a week ago ,
all the leading establishments are now cm-
ploying "scab" labor. The strike Is entirely
on account of the demand of the paper hang
ers for a scale on piece work Instead of a
regular sum per hour , as has been previ
ously paid. The painters received from 30
to 35 cents per hour and the paper hangers
from 30 to 40 cents. The paper hangeta have
agreed to demand payment by the pleco In
stead of by the hour and a few days ago they
submitted the scale that they desired to their
employers. The demand was refused and the
painters went out In sympathy with the
strikers. Neither have returned to work , but
the employers declare that they are having
no dlniculty In securing men to take the
places of the strikers and that they will
continue to resist their demands.
The proprietors ot several of the leading
paper-hanging establishments stated yester
day that they could under no circumstances
grant the scale demanded by the union.
They Bold that when the cost of labor , paper ,
paste , tools , cartage and other expenses was
considered tle | scale asked for amounted to
more than they received for the work. More
than that , fully two-thirds of the painters
and paper hangers In the city were what
Is known as "curbstone" mechanics , who
were always willing to work a little cheaper
than the big establishments. If the scale
demanded by the union was granted the big
establishments could not compete with the
"curbstone" contractors and they would
sacrifice their Dullness. The proprietors
agree In the statement that the strike has
had no ofTeet on their business. They assert
that they have had uo difficulty In securing
as many men as they want and that In fact
there have been two applicants for every
Job. They say that the only result of the
strike Is that a lot of men who did not have
permanent employment before are now workIng -
Ing In place of the union men who are Idle.
The strikers deny that the scale they
asked for Is excessive. They say that they
simply want their work paid for by the
piece. Instead of by the hour , lu order that
each man may bo paid for what ho does.
They represent that under the old system an
Inferior workman frequently earned as much
as a man who was worth twice as much and
that the now scale would be a benefit to the
employers as well as the men. In regard to
the assertion ot the proprietors that they are
not being Inconvenienced by the strike , the
union men say that while there Is no doubt
that enough men can bo secured , they can
not turn out as good work as the union
workmen whoso places they take. They ex
pect that after a trial the employers will
discover that the non-union labor Is losing
them business and that they will eventually
grant the now scale.

Ait Attempt to Compel UP pot Work
men to Strike.
For a few minutes yesterday It looked
as though there might possibly bo another
delay In the construction of a now depot at
Tenth and Mason streets. The twelve brick
layers who are at work on the Burlington's
structure are members of a local union , but
It is alleged they do not belong to the na
tional union. Three representatives of the
latter organization under the leadership of
Jack Davis visited the work and endeavored
to get the dozen bricklayers at work to
strike. They gave as their reason that the
men wore receiving only 40 cents an hour
for eight hours a day ; whereas they Insisted
that the men should bo paid CO cents an
hour.
Up to yesterday afternoon the effort
to get the bricklayers to strike had not met
with success. They declare they are regular
union men , that their uagcs are alt right
and that they have no desire to strike.
Charles Ware , the boss bricklayer of Con-
tracotr John Field , yesterday appealed to
the police to prevent outsiders from Inter
fering with the bricklayers , and It Is prob
able that a watchman will bo placed on duty
at the scene of the now depot to keep all
walking delegates away.
Seventeen additional bricklayers will start
to work on the now depot on Monday mornIng -
Ing , making thlrty-nlno bricklayers who will
then bo at work on the structure. The out- ,
sldo walls and several of the cross walls
are already up to the height ot three feet ,
and the work Is being pushed rapidly ,
J. P , Haley , president of the local brick
layers' union , now employed upon the Bur
lington's new union depot , stated last night
In connection with the reported strike of
his men : "We do not Intend to walk out on
any orders from Mr , Davis or any other rep
resentative of the national labor union. ( Most
of us have been out of work too long already
to do a foolish thing like that. If wo were
being badly treated by Contractor Fields or
wore receiving A scale below that required
by our union. It would be a different matter.
When ono takes Into consideration that each
of us Is receiving nearly $100 per month
for our labor and that there are hundreds of
men ready to jump 'into any vacancy made ,
wo feel thankful wo liavu * job to hold on
to. " .

MOVEMENT IS BACKED BY S UTH OMAHA
Committee In Appointed to Drnvr Up
t-lcH of Inciiriiorallon mill
1'nve the \Viiy for n
The Southslde Improvement club discussed
street railways at Its session last night.
The railway In particular which Is wanted
very much by the club Is that contem
plated for South Eleventh street. For over
n year past the subject has bobbed up ( or
discussion at every meeting , yet very little
1ms been accomplished , although the club has
worked very Industriously to that end. Last
night the discussion took rather a warlike
turn and the residents who live south of
the viaducts , as represented by the members
of the club , assorted they would have the
transportation If they had to go Into the
railway business themselves.
After President John Powers had called
the meeting to order , E. J , Cornish , as chair
man of the committee on street railways ,
was called for. He statca that the commit
tee to request an extension of the lines
down Tenth or Eleventh streets , had held a
conference with the street railway ofllcluls.
Although very courteously received , the mis
sion of the committee had come to naught.
The officers of the company had stated that
It was not prepared to build nt present.
The rebuilding of the Fdrtmm , Sixteenth and
North Twentieth street lines was given us
an excuse. It was said that the company
could not afford the extension of the line to
Ulvervlow park.
The subject of the building of a street
car line by another company was then dis
cussed by Mr. Cornish. He thought It probable -
able that capitalists might bo Interested In
constructing a line from South Omaha by
way of Eleventh street , which would servo
the purposes of the southsldcrs. As to the
matter of a franchise for trackage In Omaha
ho suggested that an ordinance to this ef
fect bo drafted and presented by Council
man Stuht to the city lathers. If It was
found necessary to call a special election ,
ho thought this also might be accomplished.
Ernest Stuht followed up the subject by
saying that ho would do everything In his
power to present the matter In proper form
to the council. Ho thought such a line
would pay , and that there was no good reason
why the company would not build.
SOUTH OMAHA TO HELP.
J. J. Dreen , president of the South Omaha
Improvement club , who was also on the com
mittee , said that much Interest was being
manifested In the project by his townspeople ,
and that he thought that fully $20,000 could
bo subscribed for the purpose In that city.
K. C. Jordan talked along the same Hues ,
and suggested that the Omaha Street Hall
way company. Inasmuch as It refused to
build , should bo forced to take up its rust
streaks through the city and give some
other company a chance to operate a line
of cars. Aa Omalia terminus , consisting of
tracks runinng across the Eleventh street
viaduct to Capitol avenue , thence west to
Fifteenth , south to Jackson , and east on
Jackson to the viaduct , was mentioned as a
feasible route.
John Butler moved that a committee be
appointed to draft articles of Incorporation
for a now street railway company and when
sufficiently backed by money to present the
same to the city council for a franchise.
The committee appointed by the chair con
sisted of E. J. Cornish , David Cole , F. K.
Dirling , R. C. Jordan and A. E. Wnlkup.
The committee was directed to report at
the next meeting.
Mr. Zeller , representing the committee on
the Fourth of July celebration , reported that
the subscriptions to the same had amounted
to $3fi5. Of this amount ? 239 had been ex
pended. It was recommended and approved
that the balance be turned over to the fes
tivities In connection with the opening of
the Eleventh street viaduct. The date of
the viaduct opening was set for Saturday ,
September IS.
MAX IS SUI'EHlOIli TO HIS PAST.
Xeltlior llli'KNCil Xor Onrm-il llrrnii
of lllH HrrlttiKi * .
Rabbi Leo M. Franklin of Temple Israel last
night delivered the second of the series of
Friday evening lectures which will be con
tinued through the autumn and winter sea
son. The theme upon which he dwelt last
evening was that "for his own sins each
man dies. "
In the course of his remarks he said : "We
have the promise of the scripture that no
matter how unfortunate a man's ancestors
may have been , no matter what his heritage
may have been , he is superior to his past
and may be a man If be will. If a man is
blessed or If be is cursed It is no fault ol
bis heritage. It Is not right that we should
condemn a family because of the sinful acts
of ono member of that family. It Is the
mandate of the scriptures that each shall
suffer the penalty of his own wrong doing.
I3ut because the world Is uncharitable In Its
judgment and because men do Judge fam
ilies of today by the wrong doing of one
of the members of that family let us strive
to live uprightly , to live nobly , to live
grandly , for what we do may have Us Influ
ence for good or bad upon those who come
after us , and because the tracks that we
tread may be trodden by our posterity. "

Second It Is not true that I stated "that
Doctor Pcabody was the author of the
forgeries , " bccaiuo I knew of no forgeries

Third It Is not true that I said < tlie doctor

the statements which I signed were not

and can bo verified. My certificates as pub

made that they wore a verbatim copy of
the records. Respectfully.
WILLIAM J. WKLSHANS.
NOTE. Clerk Welshans Is entitled to Ills
version of his action , but ho IB mistaken ante
to the mlsunn of his certificate. ? . They were
printed by Dr. I'eabody as "excerpts from
the records" and with the Intent to deceive I
the public Into believing that they were
copies of the real records of the board. The
lire did not attempt to quote the precise
language used by Mr. Weluhans In explain
ing the falsified record which ho had signed ,
hut gave the substance of what was said ,
and its substantial correctness Is not denied.
Mr. Welshans admits that the fabricated
records were made up by Dr. I'eabody , that
they are entirely different from the real
records , that they wore signed at his request ,
that they were Intended to bo used and were
used to deceive the public.
