The var1ou managers , relying on each other to make the nccesary arrangements , liavo made none. The natural conequenco Is that visiting wheelmen era disgusted , anil the plans which the local committee have worke4 up are spoiled , " 1 am thoroughly disgusted with the way the management has carried on things , " declared State Consul O'Brien , who is at the head of the committee on arrangements and who has worked hard ( luring the last four weeks in getting things In shape for the day and securing the lresonce of wheel- mon. "That management has spotted the plans wo have been working on a long time. It. will send away the wheelmen visitors with a very poor opinion of the cIty. It wilt result in a parade just about half as big and attractive as It otherwise would have been. " Four weeks ago Chief Constil O'Brien made arrangements with President Wattles that wheels should be admitted today , Ordinarily wheels are barred from the grounls. but. President Wattles volunteered permission to aliow them Inside all day , providing that the wheelmen did not ride them until C o'clock In ho evcntng. Naturally a visiting wheelman would not care to leave hi8 wheel down town and go to the exposition during the day , and then pay another admission to take in his wheel in the evening to take part in the parade on the grounds. Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning a big batch of the visiting wheelmen and wheclwomen went to the wagon entrance on r Sherman avenue , south of the viaduct , where It was understood they would be ad- initted with their wheels , Among the num- her were fifty wheelmen from Sioux City : , anti Councii Biuffs. There 'was a r Denver contingent and representatives from other cities. When they reached the gate they were refused ndmission. The party put Itself In communication wlth Mr. O'Brien. who went at once to ceo PresllCflt Wattles , The latter said ( that orders would be Issued at once to admit the wheelmen. The party waited before the entrance - trance for an hour , but no orders to let them in arrived. By this time O'Brien reached the grounds and by energetic bustling - ling secured an order from the bureau of admissions to let the wheelmen enter with their wheels. When this order arrived , however , it was not found to be sufficiently authoritative , for the gatekeeper refused admission until an inspector was at band. No inspector could ho found , fly this time the wheelmen were a very disgusted lot of individuals , as they had been waiting for nearly two hours. Finally * a big majority of them checked their wheels on the outside and went in. Others left for the heart of the city. At 12:30 : : Mr. O'Brien saw President Wattles once more and the latter wrote out an order to admit the wheelmen with their wheels. This was sent out to the grounds early In the afternoon. so that It may be possible t that admission to wheels will flnally be given. "But It is too tate. " declared Consul O'Brien. "By the time the order reached there most of our visitors were in the ' grounds and had left their wheels outside. Of course , none of them wilt pay another admission to get their wheels and help us out on the parade. The result will he that our parade will be nothing like .vhat we Planned it , although we will do the hst we can. " 1iItIIIIerM Come FliNt , During all this time wheelmen were ar- ; rlving at the gates and vere clamoring for admission , only to be turned down. Finaliy th0 trouble reached Superintendent Foster of buildings and grounds , who sent out a couple of omce boys to allay the feeiings ( of the wheelmen. These lads informed the riders that they could check their wheels OUtSid and leave them there until 6 o'ciock and they would see that they were brought uion the grounds in time for the parade. ( Some of the Inca accepted the proposition , t but more wont home in disgust , declaring that they hail been buncoed , The situation. , however. 'as remedied a little during the afternoon anti as more wheelinen continued * to arrive they were allowed to enter the grounds , their wheels being taken care of by A. J. Webb of the Admissions ( icprLment. The climax of the dltflcuity was reached. however. just before 7 o'clock. the hour fixed for the parade , Major Lleweiiyn , chief of I the exposition police , had not beeti informed of any parade and consequently had Issued ' , no orders to the night men who were on duty at the time. There is a rule that hi- I cycles are not allowed on the grounds anti when Chief Consul O'Brien started outalong } the .lidway to notify his men to get their 7 whecis and prepare for the tarndo. he was halted and pulled off his bicycle. lie tried to explain , but tbo guards informed him ' HEALTHFUL DRINKUW1 , JI'Iitll'lfll I iiIiii9tVL' Of II I r. ltoitlieer t'iiou Ili itl I Ii Iiii U I lit !

At this point Superintendent Foster threw himself Into the breach and broke a rule to the extent of informing Mr. O'Brien that if ho could get a party together he would take the responsibility of allowing the mem- hers to ride.

'Frudo of Chicago stopped over while enroute to Idaho to look over a ranch they have there. They visited the exposition hurriedly. to determine how long they should remain hereto to tb It thoroughly upon their return from the west , which wihi be in about four weeks. hloth of the visitors are young men , but occupy prominent positions in the political world at Chicago. Mr. Kern was city attorney - torney for two years , and state attorney for four years. Mr. Trude succeeded Mr. Kern as city attorney , but before his term was completed he was appointed by Governor Tanner to a position on the bench of the superior court , where ho is now serving. lie is a democrat , but as there is a determined effort In Chicago to keep the judiciary out of politics , he was appointed by a republican - can governor to take the place of a democratic - cratic judge who died while on the bench. iIr. Trude is a brother of A. S. Trade , one of the leaders of the Chicago bar , who is now also in the west. William J. Stewart of Boston , secretary of the Society of American Florists , is in the city to attend the annual convention of that organization. lie said the attendance at the meeting was largely problematic. as the society had never met this far west before , but that It the florists in the contiguous - tiguous territory turned out as they should the meetings would be large. Mr. Stewart was out here last May to make some pre- llrninary arrangements for the meeting. Asked na to the effect of the war upon bud- ness in New England Mr. Stewart said : , , t don't know that it made any difference with us there , It Is true that some of the sensational newspapers tried to get up a War scare in our vicinity , but it bad little effect. BusIness , so far as our peculiar branch of it was concerned , seemed to move along In the same channels , with no appreciable - preciablo effect either way as the result of the var. " J. E. Killen , representing a Philadelphia firm of importing florists , came west to attend - tend the meeting of the Society of American Florists , but caine early that he might visit the exposition before having his time taken up by the proceedIngs of the convention. Speaking of the exposition he said : 'It is a great show. I am Immeasurably pleased with it and am glad that I took the time to visit it. The display in the HortIculture building , in which I am of course specially interested , is far ahead of that at the World's fair and is about as fine as I have ever witnessed. But the exposition is great in other directions aside from the Horticulture - culture building and if eastern people could be made to understand what it really is they 'would hesitate no longer in coming west to look at It.

The resolution offered by 0. M. hitchcock - cock a week ago , which Instructed the bu. rena of admissions to issue passes indiscriminately - criminately regardless of the authority of the Department of Promotion and Publicity , as tlefeated by the unanimous vote of the board of directors at the adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon. Incidentally the motives - tives of the mover of the resolution were very seriously questioned and severni directors - tors plainly declarcd that Mr. Hitchcock va seekIng to gratify his personal antagonism toward Manager Rosewater without regard for the interests of the exposition. The matter was the first subject considered by the board and in the absence of Mr. Itosowater. Ilerman Ko'untzo stated what ho understood to be his objections to the reso- lution , inc question was Inca laid On toe table until Mr. flosewatera arrival a few minutes later. At the request of the board Mr. hlosewater then called attention to the ridiculous proposition the resolution con- tomplated. The board bath first passed a resolution authorizing the issuance of cer- tam passes to newspapers at the discretion of the manager o the Department of Promotion - motion and Publicity and at the same time deciareth against an indiscriminate use of that authority , Then Mr. hItchcock had rushed through another resolution which directed the issuance of passes Indlscrinii- nately In entire conflict with the first reso- lution. Mr. Rosewater declared that It it was not proposed to allow the department any discretion In the matter it was useless for him to be bothered by work that could as well be done by any clerk. ills depart- meat has made upwards of 500 contracts with the publishers ot weekly newspapers for passes in return for mention of special events at the exposition from time to time. It this resolution is adopted the people who have entered into these contracts in good faith viil be put on the same footing with others who have absolutely refused to give the exposition the slightest support. It will also work an injustice by putting the smallest - est weekly on a level with a daily , Ni , I'hIICM III U. In reply to a question Mr. flosewater stated that no distinctIon has been made in the issuance of passes on account of the political tenets of any newspaper. That feature has ilever been even considered anti he cited several cases in point in support - port of the assertion. The whole difficulty results from a great effort on the part of Mr. Hitchcock to make out that Mr. flose- water is antagonistic to the country editors - itors , when , as a matter of fact , he personally - sonally insisted that the editors of weeklies should he allowed thirty-day passes when other members of the executive committee were dIstosed to limit them to five days. C. S. Montiomery said that there was a good deal of truth In what Mr. flosewater had said. He was hlmselt convinced that this resolution originated in an improper motive and he thought so from the start. When Mr. Hitchcock precipitated this matter - ter on the directory he did not have the good of the exposition in mind so much as his own nersonal antagonism to Mr. Rose- water. His resolution , whIch is certainly in direct conflict with the prevIous resolution - tion , was rushed through in three minutes after the other had heen adopted and no one believed that the board had intended that no discretIon should be exercised In the matter of passes. Mr. Kountzo said that the remarks of the previous speaker were very pertinent. The course contemplated by the Hitchcock resolution wa8 entirely out of order and it was not a good business transaction. After Some further discussion the resolution was put to a vote anti lost by the unanimous vote of all the members present. A request ( rota the publishers of the Omaha Excelsior to have monthly passes exchanged for a season pass was referred to the Department of Publicity and Promo- tton. tton.At At this juncture Mr. Hitchcock again appeared - peared in evidence through a letter , in which be vented his stereotyped complaint In reard to Manager Rosewater's depart- meat. lie declared that General Manderson has written thnt ho has found people in Boston who know nothing of the exposition. A commercIal azency has boon asked by a. Philadelphia correspondent for Information on the same subject and even the editor of the New York Evening Post is densely ignorant - norant of the transmississlppi show. Manager Itosewater took occasion to show that these allegatIons are ridiculously false , as their only recommendation Is the superabundance - abundance of call with which they are cx- plaited In the face of facts that are self- evident. As far as Philadelphia Is concerned - cerned , all the large , papcrs of that city have printed page after page of illustrated matter concerning the exposition. Only recently - cently the Pennsylvania State commission has been designated and every paper In Philadelphia has printeti an article relative to the exposition and the plans for the participation - ticipation of Pennelyvania. It might be true that General Mander- son found someone in Boston who did not know much about the expositiou. But everyone knows that a party that Included the lieutenant governor and other promi- neat state officials was entertained hereon on Massachusetts da antI their visit was given great prominence in the pallors all over the state of Massachusetts. The assertion - sertion relative to the editor of the Post is even more mendacious. This is apparent because this editor sat besitle the speaker at a banquet at the Commercial club some- tiino ago and heard him speak at length Oil the subject. Mr. Rosewater added that long before that be lintl conferred with the editor of the Post in New York in regard - gard to the exposition and that this paper has published a considerable amount of matter descriptive of the enterprise. lie proceeded to still further administer to the Hitchcock complaint by briefly referring to some of the extensive advertising avenues through which the exposition has been brought to the notice of eastern people. The Octave Thanet letters alone go Into sixty of the largest newspapers in the United States every Sunday through the McClure syndicate , anti large exposition pos. ters have beeli hilled In upwards of fifty cities. iIIIiI' Add I I iflhlni Au st'rtlsliig , The hlitchcock communication was ldaeed on file and John L. Webster stated , for the Information of the directors that at a con. feronco at which the executive committee anti several directors were present It had been decided to authorize Manager Rosewater - water and Dr. George L. Miller to visit the editors o the big dailies of the eastern cities with a view to inthuciag them to co. operate in bringing the exposition to the front antI also to authorize Manager Bose- water's department to employ enough men to bill the railroad lines for 00 miles out frons Omaha in each direction. The ro- lotions contemplating these measures were adopted by a unanimous vote of the directory - rectory nnt John C. W'barton took occasion to remark that one member of the board who has just returned front Boston told him that he saw big exposition posters on every billboard and that he hatl similar reports - ports from frlendg who have visited other large cIties , This talk that the exposition is not known in the east Is ridiculous and everyone knows It , In connection with this matter Mr. Rosewater - water called attention to a distorted report - port of the conference referred to which appeared In a local publication. ito stated that so far from being called to criticise his methods this conference was determined on at a conference between himself , Preal- dent Wattles anti Senator Thurston , at which the best means for utlliztng the end of the war to bring the exposition promi- neatly before the public were discussed. The subsequent conference with members of the directory and the decision to authorize - izo him to go east. to see the publishers of the large papers were decided on unant- mously and with his own approval. Invest I gut Iutc Continittec hteirt . The last in the interminable succession of Sunday closing petitions was placed on file and two reports from the investigating corn- mittea were presented. The first , which cc- hated to the issuance of passes to fraternal organizations and similar matters , approved the action of the executive committee and was placed on file. The other referred to the hootblacking concession of "Mogy" Bernstein and as it found that an injustice had been done It was laid over until Manager - ger Reed ruturned , CROW1D IS GROWING ( Continued from First Page. ) he went a few dnys ago to work up an interest - terest in the exposition. Ha succeeded most admirably and says that he has secuied one-fare rate for a Georgia excursion that will come here later In the season , Ex-Gov- ernor Northern says that the Georgia people feel a deep interest in the exposition and wilt do all in their power to make it a success. While absent he secured another carload of exhibits , which will arrive in a few days and will 'be plated in the state building. This exhibit wilt include grain , fruits hay and cotton. } ixecutIc Coinittittee Meeting. At the meeting of the executive committee - tee , held yesterday , the question of cnlnrg- lag the Indian congress was taken under consideration and lion. James Mooney of the Bureau of Ethnology of the United States employed. Mr. Mooney will visit the south- era Indians and secure the attendance of representatives from the Zunt and other tribes resIding in New Mexico and Arizona. It was decided to have fireworks en Wednesday anti Saturday nights. These fireworks will be on the north tract beyond the Midway , Arrangements were completed for a concert - cert to be given In the Auditorium Thursday - day evening , at which Frank Pollock of Now' York will sing and Miss Bruno of Chi- cage will preside at the piano. hloitey Ealilhit % t'nrly Conipleted , The exhibits in the Apiary building are about complete.

A party of' 300 persons came in from Frontier county last night for a week's stay at the exposition. They were met at the depot by Colonel Richardson of the Department - partment of Publicity and given a hearty welcome. They had secured rooms In advance - vance In the north part of the cIty , to which they repaired. The party is in charge of A. F. Webster of Beaver City. Charles F. Easley of Santa Fe , N.

SpeakIng - Ing of the exposition , Mr. Easley said : "It Is wonderful and is as fine a display of the products and resources of the great trans- mississippi region as could have been made. " Emmett May , a prominent insurance agent from hawaii , is in Omaha for a few days visiting the exposition. He likes the show very much and never tires of telling of the non' things that he has seen here. "It is the greatest display of the resources of the country that has over been brought together. It furnishes the most conclusive evidence of this great trnnsmisslssippi region and Is bound to bring In much money and many settlers. The buildings are magnificent. I like them and their arrangements much better - ter than those at the World's fair. " Nelse Innes , representing the Boston Her- aid , Is in the city for a few days visiting the exposition. Speaking of the exposition he said : "The people In the east (10 not understand - stand the magnitude of the expositIOn. Later In the season , many will come here from the east , but not so many as I would like to see. To my mind it is one of the best expositions - sitions ever held in the United States. It is better than that hld at Atlanta , Nashville or San Francisco. In fact it Is about as good as the World's fair. In some reBpeS it is better. ' C. H.

BOYBUBGLARS , LOOT A STORE Goitlsiiiltht'N Stoelc of ClotIiIii Foritis EIINy l'rt'y for Four 'Youth- f iii 'Vhieves. Four boy burglars broke into the "fire sale" clothing store of Joseph Goldsmith on liarney street Sunday and stole twenty suits of clothing and that ninny hats anti other articles. The burglary was corn- mitted in broad daylight. Mr. Goldsniith says 113 learned that the boys took a place on the steps of the potoffico where they sold a quantity of the stolen stuff under the eyes of the police. The police were notilled as soon as the robbery was discovered and began searching the store for the burglars. Mr. Goldsmith who entered the store by the front way unknown to the officers caine near teing shot , one of the othlcera drawing a revolver - volver on him in the semi-darkness. When the police were informed where the boys who were suspected of the robbery lived , for some unknown reason they refused to look for theut. Yesterday a colored boir who was sus- peeled of being implicated in the robbery was found by ,1r. Goldsmith. lie was dressed in one of the stolen suits of clothes and bad on one of the hats , The boy was detained and several detectives were sent to the store. After looking him over and asking a lot of foolish questions they refused to take him into custody , do. spite the fact that he coulil give no satisfactory - factory account of 'there ho got the cloth- lag. Mr. Goldsmith and Special Watchman Brown intend to locate the burglars ii liossibie and turn theta over to the sheriff if the polI.e will not accept them , SETTLES UNION LABOR'S ' CASE Boarti of Education Gets an Opinion from Attorney 1leikle , COULD NOT ADOPT COURSE SUGGESTED hteolutIon Offerc by ( he Ihitilihitig Trnhca' Coiitn'ii hiehti to tie Agitiiist l'iiliie I'th ie'-Muppiriisetitnrr htcOhiltiUflN .iIlitcl , The strike which is now on among the employes of the Board of Education had the floor during a goodly portion of the school board meeting last night. This was anticipated , for when the body was called together the audience section of the board chamber was Packed wIth members of ha- hoe organizations , including the strikers , and such vantage points as the doors and corridor were also crowtletl. This audience hissed and cheered as the remarks in the debate among tile board members displeased or pleased them , despite the hiamnierings of Acting President Gratton , who occupied the chair in the absence of President Jor- dan. Tile remainder of the meeting , although - though more full of meat than the sessions of the board usually are , bad no attractions - tions for the worlciugmen , for they do- camped as soon as the labor question was passed in tile proceedings , The strike situation was first brought forward in a communication from Superintendent - tendent of Buildings Banker , in which he reported that on last Tuesday twenty-six painters , four plasterers anti one carpenter quit the service of the board. Ito reported that on Wednesday morning he commenced putting on new men and at the lIresent time has all the mechanics that can be used to advantage. Unless something else develops the superintendent said the work will be done in time for the opening of school. The trouble did not occur , however , until tlio report of the committee to wbich tile matter was referred made Its report. This comniltteo was the otto on judiciary.

These resolutions provided that , Inasmuch as the board does all c6n- struction and repair work by day labor and pays standard'S union wages to skilled workmen , all workmen employed by the board shall be requIred to be members in good standing of their respective labor unions and that nil contracts entered into by the board for constructive and repair work shall contain a clause stipulating the employment of union labor only , Only One Sigiinture. Member Dennis reported that after con- suiting with the attorney the committee recommended that the resolutions he placed on file. Member Dennis' signature alone was attached to this report. but he announced - nouncod that the other members concurred in it. Before the report was put to a. vote the opinion of School Board Attorney Meikle on the resolutions was called for and read. This opinion is an exhaustive document. It declares that while workingnien have a right to organize their acts become uniaw- ful wen against public policy. Then fol- hewed an exhaustive consideration of whether the contracts as proposed In the resolutions are against public policy. The attorney described public policy as mean- log "the preservation and enjoyment of a citizen's rights. The Individual citizen as a necessity must be left free to adopt and follow such calling , profession or trade as he may deem most conducive to that end. Without this right he is not a free man. The public policy demands that every cR1- zen shall be fully protected in his personal rights and the acts of any man or assoei- ation of men which destroy or infringe upon the free enjoyment of these rights by any cItizen are ogainst. public policy and unlawful. " Replying direct to the question of whether the contracts asked for would be against public policy the attorney said : "Now , what would be the effect of adopt- lag the resolution proposed and following the policy therein laid down ? The first Woultl be that all mechanics now employed by the board who do not belong to the unions must he discharged. Secold : , no one who does not belong to the unions could obtain employment from the board and compete with those 'who do belong to the unions anon the same conditions. And such flersons would therefore he restricted in the sale of their labor , in that one of the markets for their labor would be closed against them. " .tgitiiist Public Policy. This , the attorney declared , would ho illegal - gal and ho cited several court decisions. In conclusion 110 stated : "The only con- elusion the writer can deduce from the reasoning of the authorities and an analysIs of the institutions of our government is tilat the contracts proposed In the resolutions - tions would ho against public policy and unlawful. " Member flm'ress moved that the whole matter be laid on the table , in 'view of the exhaustive olnlon of the attorney , of the lengthy discussion that was held a week ago and of the fact that the labor unions have taken tile matter out of the board's hands. Van Gilder charged thnt this motion was matlo for the purpose of shutting oft debate - bate , but Burgegs ( lenietl that. A roll call was ordered and the motion was carried by the following vote : 'Yeas-Buchanan , Burgess , Dennis , Grat- ton , Johnson , Kiewit , Moore , Scars-S. Nays , Ircy , Penfold , Thomas , Van Gil- der-4. Ittitlorses Iti ion LnIr , , As soon as tile vote was announced Morn- her Tiloinas introduced the following resolution - lution : V'iicreas. This Board of Education is now anti has for several years paid the unloli I scale of wages and has eneourflgeh ( the besi of skilled labor by payIng In some caset more than the union scale ; therefore , be it htesolved , That this hoard hereby reassert . sort its confidence in the benefits of union labor properly organized in the commntinity , and that we , as meipbers of the board , bore- by approve of union labor as a means of SO- curing and nlaintaining a reasonable anti just scale of wages , anti that we hereby rec'mmend ' to the employes of the board that they personally assist and affiliate with their respective labor unions as far as they can find it consistent with right and justice - tico t' themselves nail their feilowmc'n. Mr. Burgess secondeti the adoption of the r.solution antI in connection with it scored tue labor unions for their action in order- lug the strike. lie declared that without giving the board an opportunity to take legal action on their request they bath token the matter into their own bands and hiatt inaugurated an "idiotic" strike. lie do- dared himself in favor of labor organizations - tions , but advised theta to be more cautious In the selection of their leaders. These remarks brought forth hisses from the lobby. \man Gilder declared the resolution a "whitewash" and an evasion of the ques- lIon. lie followed this up with a lengthy labor speech , which aroused the applause of the lobby several times. He 'w followed by several others. Ire and Moore cxplaine4 that they opposed the resolution because it did not confine the mechanics employed to men who have served their full apprentIceship - ship , The resolution was passed by the fol- iowing vote : Yeas-Buchanan , Burgess , Dennis , Grat- ton , Johnson , Sears , Thomas-i. Nays-Irey. Kiewit , Moore , h'onfolti , Van CIltIer- & , ] nhiowing this resolution Mr. Buchanan introduced another in which the board cx- pressed pleasure at the Improved social anti financial condition of laboring men ; pointed with pride that the board enwloyes receive union wnges and looked with confidence' toward - ward a future where organized labor would not appear to deny to other laboring men the rights they claim for themselves , as they tb at present through unwise advice and rash leadership. This resolution was pnssed almost unanimously. Van Glider only voting - ing in the negatiTe , The latter dechareti the resolution was another coat of "whitewash , " which declaration again aroused the applause of the lobby. Kiewit tried to get his turn to introduce a resolutiot , , but was shut off by Acting Chairman Gratton. Another CO1IfOFRIICO Set , I.aer in the meeting , however. liewlt introduced a resolution that the board invite - vito the bricklayers' union to confer withI the committee eu buildings and property on some grievances it claims to have. The illeeting 'as fixed for Thursday night. Mr. Moore also introduced a resolution that hereafter no One be employed by the board who is not. a Journeyman workman. This was laid on the table. Another feature of the meeting occurred while a fllOtiofl to adjourn was being made. Member Penfold Introduced a resolution to reconsider the vote by which the board at its last meeting gave an order to th Macri- can Book company for new geographies. In explanation Penfold pointed out that the board wiit' running up a big expense by its action. The proposed contract lirovitles for an exchange price as follows : The board to purchase elementary geographies at 45 cents each and sell the books at present in use to the conhpaay for 21 cents ; to purchase complete geographies at W cents anti etl the old ones at 51 cents. To exchange the present books in use for the new ones would cost nearly $2,100 , inasmuch as 300 elementary geographies and 2O0 complete ones would have to he secured , Mr. l'enfold declared that he had been informed that. the board could secure book for book und it was for the purpose of trying to secure Sucil a deal and to save the city $2,100 that ho made the motion. Members Burgess and Thomas were cape- daily vigorous in their opposition to the motion , They first declared it out of order and when the chair ruled against them they took another tack. They Insisted then that the board was laying itself liable if it reconsidered Its action , oven though no contract - tract bad been sIgnet ] . The fact that the books had been ordered made the action binding. "If the flentletnen don't want to vote on the question I will not press it , " finally do- dared Penfold. "I simply want to save the board money if I can. " Vote It Down , This silenced every one , and finally a vote was ordered on the resolution. It was downed ly the following vote : 'Veas-Irey , Kiewit , Moore , Penfold , Van Gilder-5. Nays-Burgess , Dennis , Gratton , Johnson , Sears , Thomas-ti.
