GO OUT OF CITY TO PURCHASE SUPPLIES Themaa Kirk, Wka Waa Shot y Saadwlrh Mia, Not So gerloasly ' Iajared as Ha4 Bee a apposed. i Buatneaa men In the city are considering the advisability of holding a meeting and expressing their opinion through a set of resolutions at the action of the committee on supplies of the Board of Education In purchasing everything possible from mer chants In other cities. The supply com mittee of the board la composed of Morrill, Murphy and Bock. It Is openly asserted that the members of this committee have Ignored local dealers and gone elsewhere snd madepurchaes at' prices higher than those quoted here. This committee buys chemicals for the laboratory department of the-high school, ' stationery for the pupils and other supplies of less Importance. Of late nearly If not all of the purchases have been made outside of the city, even after prices from local merchants hare been sub mitted. A comparison In a number of cases shows that local dealer quoted practically the same figures that other dealers did and la some Instances lower. ' Morrill, the chair man of the supply committee. Is charged by local merchants with having first se cured prices here and then going elsewhere and quoting South Omaha prices. ' When school books are purchased no bids are required, as there seems to be an un derstanding of some sort with the book concerns, but when It comes to purchasing school seats and desks bids are advertised for. In the spring Murphy and Loechner retire from the board and the people' will vote on only one new member, so ' that there la little hops, say the . merchants, of changing the present condition of affalra unless a revision of the present committees Is made. This matter of 'purchasing -supplies Is being looked Into and will, so.it Is stated, be brought to the attention of the rub,,obe,r. very long. Kirk Getting Better. Thomas Kirk, who was shot by J.. W.

The prisoner was thoroughly sober yesterday and regretted that he had used his revolver so freely, but gave as his reason that he waa tinder ths Influence of liquor and really did not know what be doing.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Owners of the Amer ican Base Ball league In annual meeting today rescinded the foul strike rule adopted last year as an experiment and declared In favor of a schedule of 164 games In order to meet the extension of the National league schedule. Tbe playing season will open on April 16. The National league recently declared In favor of the foul strike rule and It la the general belief that trouble will be experi enced before a aubstitute rule satisfactory to both leagues can be agreed on. The suggestion today- of President Shlbe of Philadelphia that only the first foul ' be called a strike and that the other fouls be treated as they used to be before the adoption of the foul strike rule last year, seemed to meet the approval of most of the owners. The affairs of the Pacific Coast league came up for discussion during the meeting, but the question was referred to President Johnson, who was given power to act lor the American league In any attempt that might be made to get the Independent league on the coast to Join with tbe organ isations east of the Rocky mountains. Another session will be held tomorrow when severer other subjects will be taken tup. . . ' That the American league Is still In favor of peace, despite Its-differences with the National league, was shown by the fact that at today's session the action of the American league committee on the na tional agreement was formally approved and ratified. The meeting decided on the use of players' contract, uniform with that adopted at the National league meet ing. This will make It necessary for a player to report two weeks earlier for spring training or be subject to a $110 fine.'
