Consideration of plans Tor the new Itlsh
school building wag tho chief business that
claimed tho attention of tho Ilnnnl of Edu
cation last night. About a dozen Invited
Visitors tinder tho leadershln nf Presldrttt
Kuclld Martin of the Commercial club wcro
present to glvo their views on tho plana
under consideration, and numcroun other
citizens wcro also In attendance.
Architect Latenscr presented his plans and
explained them In detail. Ho had the ground
plan of what ho termed tho finished Instltu
tlon of tho future. It contemplated a quad
rllatcral building 200x250 feet In dimensions,
surrounding n largo central court, with
cuter walls of tono and Inner of buff brick,
threo ntoricft high, with nttlc ntid sub
basement, whllo out of tho center of tho
court will rise an Imputing tower. The
cost of tho completed structure Is estimated
at $600,000.
As tho board haw only SlftO.OOO now avail
ablo ho proposes to build one. of the fronts
nt a time, completing tho building as tho
mean aro found nnd necessities demand
Architect Mteiiscr had prepared plans for
tho construction of cither tho 200-foot front
or tho 250-foot front. It appeared that tho
board had placed Itself on record as favor
ing tho 200-foot front, to bo erected Just
east of tho present building. This would
mean tho main frontago of 2."0 feot would
ultimately bo toward tho south.
Thero appeared to be a dlffereneo ot
opinion, as to whether tho 250-foot front
should bo to tho cast or tho Houth, and
upon that question hinged tho question of
which should bo built first, as tho Ilrst will
bo placed on tho cast oldo of tho old build
ing, with Its first floor on a level with the
hasomcnt of tho present structure. If tho
200-foot front Is built It will cost ubout
JlfiO.OOO, whllo tho 250-foot front will cost
nearly or qulto 1200,000. Kach will afford
thirty now rooms and about an equal amount
of floor space, owing to the fact that tho
shortor building Is tho deeper.
OpIiiluiiH'or Citizen.
KxproHsiotm were- solicited from tho visit
ors, and Mr. Martin said that Bpcaking from
thorough knowledge of tho present build
ing, plans for tho new ono should contem
plate an entiro now Btructuro at tho earliest
poMslblo convenience. Ho thought regard
at this timo should bo had to convenience
rather than beauty, but tho completed struc
ture should bo ono that would be a credit
to tho city,
Kdwnrd Itosowntcr boliovcd It would bo
advlsablo to build with tho means now at
hand a Btructuro west of tho present
building to supply tho present needs, and
in tho courso of threo or four years tho
moro embellished sides of the structuro
could bo put up, finally culminating In a
frontngo that would bo an ornament and a
credit to Omaha. Ho -was not favorably
Impressed with tho front elevations shown
and believed tho architect should bo given
moro time. It was ridiculous to talk about
a slow-burning building. A building Is now
either a burning or n no-burning building.
Judgo Koysor favored tho 250-foot front
and agreed with tho suggestion that tho
building should bo ono that would bo a
credit to Omahn. Ho recalled how Judge
Wnkcley, at tho Inauguration of tho now
court house, had congratulated the people
that thoy had a building that would meet
tho requirements for twenty years, while
-within threo years It was found necessary
to remove the law library from It and
Judge Wnkoley found himself holding court
In a llttlo back room. Ho believed It should
bo fireproof.
Oeorgo H. Payno believed In building
largo enough nt first. Tho first considera
tion should bo size, tho next convenience
and next .beauty. Ho favored tho 250-foot
front.
After tho visitors had dispersed, tho board
found that It -was not ready to reach a
decision, nnd tho final adoption of plans
was postponod until next Saturday evening,
when It will probably bo decided to adopt
tho 250-foot front structuro and locate It
oast of tho present building, so that the
latter .need not ho disturbed until the tlmo
comes for tho ercitlon ot tho -west and
north sections, which may bo built last for
tho completion ot tho quadrilateral.

Trrnmirer HciiiiIiikn Sn Step In lint

l'p the Money Due,
City Treasurer Hcnnlngs adopted ex
treme measures Monday In an effort to col
lect .tho personal taxes ot Louis Slobodln
sky, saloon keeper at Ninth nnd Capitol
avenue. Mr. Slobodlneky has been In ar
rears on his taxes sluco 1S93, both on his
buslnosa property and his residence, the lat
ter being situated nt 2522 Wirt street. A
deputy acting on tho authority of tho city
ttcasurer on Monday served a distress war
rant at tho Wirt streot location and seized
upon property which In his Judgment rep
resented n money valuo of $600, tho amount
of tho delinquent taxes. Tho property
seized consisted of a piano and other furnl
turo not actually essential to tho owner's
housekeeping. Mr. Slobodlnsky made a vig
orous protest, but was obliged to yield In
the faco of tho warrnnt and witnessed tho
departuro of his household gosds through
tho rain. Tho appropriated furniture
filled two vans nnd has now been safely
transferred to u dawn-town storehouse.
Mr. Slobodlnsky Is nlso In nrrcars on his
personal taxes for tho business houso at
Ninth and Capitol avenue, and tho treas
urer's next step will bo to sclzo tho equiva
lent In personal taxes. Tho amount of de
linquent taxes nt this 'location Is $000. Mr.
Slobodlnsky Immediately consulted nn at
torney, but Is so far undetermined as to
what courso to pursue.
Other .Seizure -Wilt l'ullmr.
In explaining his action City Treasurer
Hcnnlngs said ho had no personal feeling
toward Mr. Slobodlnsky and simply selected
his namo becauso ho was ono of tho tax
payers longest Jn nrrcars. Ho says tho step
may Bcrvo as a warning to other citizens
who wilfully neglect tho payment of per
sonnl taxes. It developed from tho inquiry
mauo ny tnu commercial club last fall that
thero was- nearly a. half million dollars duo
tho city from delinquent tnxpayers. Tho
agitation, however, brought no tanglblo re
sult, as tho treasurer's offlco force was In
sufficient to tako tho necessary measures.
Mr. HeunlngB' plan Is to lay out tho city
in threo districts, each to bo presided over
by a personal tax collector. Each dolln-
quont will rocclvo a call, and following
mis a moro imperntlvo notice without regard
to whether his delinquency Is in a largo or
a small amount. If tho collectors nre uunblo
to get results a seizure ot personal effects
will bo mado as In tho caso of Mr. Slobo
dlnsky. Tho city treasurer points out that
Slobodlnsky waB repeatedly notified and can
lmvo no excuse for having failed to mako
payment.
The sclzuro of Slobodlnsky's goods Is the
first of tho rort taken by tho treasurer for
several years. Early In tho 90's tho treas
urer Insisted that tho Pullman Palaco Car
company pay personal taxes on certain cars
loft In tho yards. Tho company held that tho
car3 wero much too transient articles upon
which to levy n tax. Tho treasurer finally
seized three sleeping cars and one diner
and held thorn until payment wns made.

TESTING QUALITY OF TEA
New lleRttlntlon IteKiirillnn; Importa

Into KITcct 31 ay 1.
After May 1, when tea arrives at tho port
of Omaha It will bo placed In 'bond In the
wnrehoueo or In tho custody of tho Im
porter until it shall have been tested by
government experts for tho purpose of de
termining Us quality. This rule Is In forco
at present, but tho now law makes somo
changes In tho method of the test. When
tho tea nrrlves samples aro taken from each
chest and sent to Chicago, where tho near
est government tea sampler has an olllce.
On receiving tho sample of ten, which Is
marked to show tho lot of which It is a
sample, the sampler takes a quantity equal
In -weight to a 10-cent pleco nnd proceeds
to mako a cup of tea according to tho
methods approved by tho department. When
this tea Is made ho compares it with tea
mado from an equal quantity of known
standard leaf. This test Is for quality. Ho
then takes twlco tho quantity of the leaf
and steeps It for a longer period, after
which ho examines tho decoction to nscer-
taln tho presence of oils or foreign drugs.
Ho also examines tho leaves to dctcrmlno
whether they are decayed. Having passed
tho tea as equal to tho standard of Its kind,
ho reports to tho collector ot tho port ot
Omaha, -who permits tho Importer to ro:clve
tho consignment upon tho payment of tho
duty.
It It Is determined that tho tea Is not
equal to tho standard tho Importer is bo
informed, nnd must Immediately export It
or havo tho ontlre lot destroyed. Samples
of all tea declared dcfoctlvo In any point
aro retained by tho sampler and sent to
other samplers, In order to have the work
ot tho department uniform. Tea Is classified
Into about twenty grades by the govern
ment nnd no. tea no falling into one ot
theso grades is permitted to be Imported.

To Prevent Alnmr of Anlninln.
"Thoro Is a great field hero for a society
for tho prevention of cruelty to animals,"
said a well-known lover of horse flesh yes
terday. "Peddlers and others nro permitted
to dr'lvo horses which should be In tho bone
yard. Many of theso animals arc merely
skin nnd bone, whllo others are so lean
that they can scarcely walk. Tho polleo
should enforco tho laws regarding the uso
oi decrepit horses. In my opinion If a few
of these fellows wero fined In police court
tho practlco of nbuBlng animals would bo
stopped." Graders frequently overload
their wagonn and then beat the horses be
cause they cannot pull tho heavy .loads.
