Attorney Murphy made the statement
that the board handled over Smo.OfN) daring
the year and yet the public had no Infor

cone now with the rcord of the past and
said that when the schools opened last
September there was not a cent In the
school fund.
"There Is something radically wrong."
he declared. "In th situation. It may be
mal-sdmlnlstratlon or Incompetent admin
istration, but we, the taxpayers of the city
should know what Is going on. We pay
largely; we submit our property for th
purpose of taxation by the rchool board;
this money Is paid in and we have a right
to know where It goes. I am not ac
cusing any person of doing anything that
Is wrong, but we have a light to have this
Information."

J. B. Watklns said that when they
wanted any Information they had to hunt

they found him there they discovered that
no system seemed to have been employed
which would enable them to readily get
at what they sought. "These school board
records," he stated, "must be made past
of the city records, where they will get
enough publicity so that th people at large
will know what the men they hav lectul
are doing In the way of managing the
funds."

Packers Harvesting; lee.
The annual harvesting of . ice by th
South Omaha packing companies began
yesterday morning at Carter lake, Sey
mour lake and at Ashland. The Cudahy
company has a gang of 1"0 men working
at Seymour lake and expects to increase
that force to 250 today.' The company
expects to harvest 50,000 tons ot ice this
season. This Swift company is cutting at
Carter lak and expect to have a full
fore working today. The Armour com
pany gets Its supply at Memphis, but th
Ice Is not yet sufficiently thick there for
harvesting. Armour's Ice house at Memphis
will hold about 60.000 tons the Swift ice
houses at Ashland about 60.000 'tons a,nd
th two tea houses at Carter lake about
130,000 tone. Th Cudahy Ice house at
Seymour lake win nrM SO.OOOMons. T ..
Trespassing! mm the Tracks.
Trespassing on ths railroad tracks Is
again becoming frequent and as a result
four Bohemian women were arrested yes
terday morning by Captain Dworak at the
Updlk elevator Just north f the L street
viaduct. The women are simply charged
with trespassing, but the allegation Is that
they and others hav been helping them
selves to the wheat in the-cars as well as
carrying off everything they can get their
hands on. Ths elevator stands right in
the center of the railroad tracks, but the
danger of sudden deat.i .seems to have no
terrors for the trespassers. When a num
ber of them were before Judge Callanan
some time ago he threatened future tres
passers with imprisonment and not fines,
but nothing appears to hav a deterrent
effect.

All partis Indebted to me will pleas
pay th same at M. Cul&in s. where a rs-
advocated an appropriation of S100,'X)0 for
extension work In Iowa. He spoke of the
need of good roads as a means of improv
ing rural life, but he did not advance any
particular plan for securing them.
"There are three questions," the senator
said, "upon which depend the safety, wel
fare and perpetuity of free Institutions..
These are first): How can we Increase the
quantity and Improve, the quality of agii
cultural products, lessening the cost to th
consumer without reducing th profits of
tha producer? - Second, how can we inter
rupt the tendency of the people to gather
In great cities? Third, how can we reg
ulate and control great ' wealth, so that
with It power and selfishness it shall not
take more than Its Just share ot the profits
of toll?
'To keep farmers from moving to town
to educate their children," he said, "coun
try educational facilities must be mad
equal to those of the city. To accomplish
this consolidation Is necessary. Boys and
girls should be educated with especial ref
erence to the work that they will have to
do. The common schools of Iowa should
be miniatures of Iowa State college. The
Influence of this college Is greatly multi
plied by the extension work. The legis
lature should appropriate at least 1100.000
for this work. No other appropriation
would give such returns:
"It is common nowadays to sneer at
politics. Politics Is only the associated ef
forts ot tile people. In no other way can
needed reforms be obtained. The greatest
duty of the citisen Is to see to it that
public affairs are so conducted as to do
tor the Individual those things that he can
not do for himself. The aggregate wealth
of the American people Is about (200,000,000,-
000. This has become concentrated In th
hand of the few. If the hand of the
people as a whole is not laid upon these
aggregations of wealth w will eventually
be forced to take Just what they are witl
ing we should have. Regulation is not ad
vancing one-tenth as fast as combination.
I believe that the only way regulation
can be accomplished Is by preserving fair
competition. The work of regulating com
petition caa be done by no agency, but the
government Itself.
An expression of high fnvor for the pro
posed construction of a pipe line from
the oil fields of Wyoming to the city of
Omaha was written yesterday by a com
mittee of the Commercial club to Governor
Bryant B. Brooks of Wyoming. The com
mittee, which was composed of O. .
Wattles, E. A. Benson and F. P. Weed,
had been chosen by the executive com
mittee of the local club, to make the com
munication on behalf of Omaha.
Following Is the text of the letter:
"Governor Bryant B. Brooks. Cheyenne.
Wyo.. I'ear Sir: The attention of the
Commercial club of Omaha was recently
called to the proceedings of the Wyoming
Oil Producers' association, of which you
are the president. The statement of this
association regarding the wonderful oil
fields of Wyoming, extending for 0 miles
in length and 180 miles In width, with
wells already flowing, challenges the at
tention of the world to the future possi
bilities of commerce and wealth In the de
velopment of this great natural resource
which now lies dormant.
"The many tributaries of the Nor.th
Platte river, which penetrate the greater
part of the area of the rich oil fields of
Wyoming, flow with a gradual fall of
7.000 feet down the Platte river valley Into
the Missouri river near the city of Omaha.
The proposition to build a pipe line from
the center of the Wyoming oil fields down
this natural water course to this city Is
one In which all our cltlsena, represented
by our Commercial club, are greatly in
terested. N
"At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Commercial club the
undersigned committee was appointed to
confer with you and express to you and
your association the great Interest we feel
In this proposition. We are authorised to
say that tha city of Omaha is greatly in
terested in your plans and will assist your
association in carrying forward its plans,
to the end that one of your great natural
resources may be speedily developed, and
in Its development our city may receive
the natural Impulse and growth which
come with the prosperity of the territory
tributary to her markets.

by Shock.
TASHKEND. Asiatic Russia, Jan. 6
Vlolent earthquakes continued at Intervals
this afternoon at Kopal, Vyemy and other
places In the government of Somlryet
chenak, but they were not so destructive
as those of the early morning hours, when
many buildings were destroyed.
Unofficial reports say that hundreds- oi
persons have been killed or wounded and
that the distress of the refugees ts ter
rible, owing to the destruction of the heat
ing appartiia In the houses and the cold
which prevails. Governor General -Poko-tlloff
report that 1,000 families are with
out shelter.
Many soldiers have been injured and
nearly every house in and around tha town,
including the publlo schools and the gov
ernor's residence, has been damaged. The
loss, however, is less serious than that
occasioned by the earthquake In 1887, be
cause many of the stone buildings were re
placed by buildings of wood.
A violent earthquake was felt at varloua
points of Russian Turkestan from 4 to 4:30
o'clock this morning. Great fissures opened
In the ground. Practically all of the stores
and residences at Vyemy, the capital ot
the territory of Somlryetchensk, were de
stroyed. The city has a population of 23,
000. Communication In the disturbed district
