Lincoln. May 23 (Special.) A. O. Thomas, superintendent of the Kearney schools, was today, by a vote of I to 3, elected principal of the new western nor mal, after a telegram had been received from W. K. Fowler, elected last night, stating that under the circumstances he could not accept. The same bitter op position which Majors, Oregg and Deliell held out for Fowler was evidenced by the refusal of the treasurer, the superintend ent and R. A. Tawney, the president of the board, to vote to make the election unanimous. It was believed for a time that the Kearney man would refuse to accept the place at the hands of a divided board, but a telephone message received shortly after his notification by wire dis pelled those doubts. The casting vote was that of I P. Lud den, whose return brought about the elec tion of Fowler last night. The election of the latter was made necessary to present the selection of Thomas, for the opponents of the Kearney man had been given to understand that Ludden would vote for him as soon as the former superintendent was out of the way. Ludden, on his re turn from the east to break the deadlock, had announced that he was pledged to Fowler and considered himself bound un til notified of his formal release. It was this situation which forced the election last night In face of the letter of declina tion, written April IS. Mortensen believed that there were sufficient assurances that Fowler would accept In order to prevent the selection of Thomas. After the Fowler declination had been received todsy C. H. Gregg, the Kearney member, made a belated promise that any man chosen by the board would be given the loyal support of the Kearney people. He said that such treatment would have been accorded Fowler, but the latter's re fusal lmd already leen accepted. The first ballot today resulted in three votes for ThomRS, three for Fnrdyce, and one for J. "W. Searson of "Wahoo, cast by Ludden. The second ballot gave Thomas four, and Fordyce three. The latter was the offering of the Mortensen faction as a compromise candidate. "Will Hold Summer School. Six weeks of summer school will he held at the Kearney normal, beginning June IS. The State Board of Education, before it concludes the present session, will select a faculty and complete the arrangements for the summer work. Credit on the regu lar course will be given for the work done. The Kearney people to compete with the Junior normals have made arrangements to supply free text books. C. H. Gregg, the Kearney member of the board, has reported that the new build ing will be completed before AugUBt 31, when the appropriation will lapse. Por tions of the walls are up to the third story. The. board adjourned to Peru this afternoon, where a meeting will be held this evening. Majors Una Congressional Scheme. First district politicians have discovered that Tom Majors Is at the bottom of a scheme to pool Issues among the six counties outside of Lancaster In order to effect the defeat of Judge Holmes, the candidate of the latter delegation. Ac cording to Majors' plans the Cass. Nemaha, Otoe, Johnson. Pawnee and Richardson county candidates are to agree to choose the man who Is to have all of the dele gations by casting lots. The feature of the plan, counted on by Majors to make It a success. Is the certainty that the pre ponderance of Lancaster will give it the nomination In the ordinary course of pro cedure, while, according to his scheme, each one will have one chance out of six of receiving the nomination. Majors' op ponents allege that he la in a scheme to allot the Nemaha county postofflces. New Omaha Corporation.

He said the construction work has been practically contracted for the entire route, although the papers have not been signed. Cannot Force Inane of License. Attorney General Brow n has filed a brief In the supreme court sustaining his de murrer to the application of E. S. Spinney of the Bankers I'nlon of the World for a mandamus to compel the Issuance of a license from the auditor's department. The state contends that the auditor refused to Issue the license in the ftee exercise of the discretion confided him by the statute, and that he cannot be coerced where the act is not ministerial. Says Facts Jaatlfy Aadltor, The attorney general, ays that Spinney has Impeached the accuracy of his own statement by filing a second one in whioh he gives different figures, thus show-in that one or the other of the sworn docu ments Is Inaccurate. That fact, the attorney general contends, permitted the auditor to assume that both were false. One of the discrepancies pointed out is in the mem bership, the former statement fixing the number at 13,8S, while the latter one, filed a month later, fixed it at 11.812. The at torney general also contends that the two reports show variances In asset items and death loss payments. He also charges that "an excessive per cent of the income has been expended for the expenses and salaries of the officers." Board Still Making I p Record.
