SARATOGA SCHOOL
PARENTS!) COURT
Seek Injunction Against City
Physician and School Board
in Quarantine Fight.
TWO KINDS VACCINATION
The battle of Saratoga has been
taken into the courts.
It is the Saratoga school fight be
tween parents of pupils and City Phy
sician Connell over vaccination.
Several parents have filed suit in
district court against the city physi
cian and the twelve members of the
school board, seeking to enjoin them
from prohibiting children with certi
ficates of vaccination which in this
case show the internal method from
attending school.
The plaintiffs, Charles C. Haynes.
H. S. Simpson, Thomas Carroll and
Ezra W. Field, parents of children at
tending Saratoga school, aljo ask that
the city physician be restrained from
ordering smallpox signs tacked up on
houses. They further ask that he be
restrained from "encouraging and
maintaining the dump at Twenty-second
and Meredith streets.
Want, Dump Removed.
It is alleged that the dump has the
approval of the city physician, is a
public nuisance, places the children in
danger and causes contagious dis
eases. The petition of the parents asserts
that their children would be in at
tendance at school except for the
"wrongful acts of the defendants."
The plaintiffs say that the court ac
tion is brought on behalf of 200 other
children besides thei, own "who are
denied the opportunity and privilege
of attending school."
Allegations are made that the mem
bers of the school board permit the
city physician to take entire charge
of "the matter; that the children of the
plaintiffs have been properly vaccin
ated; that there are no cases of small
pox; that the smallpox signs have
been tacked up because they declined
to adopt the method of vaccination
ordered by City Physician Connell.
The parents allege that the city phy
sician openly stated that "he would
wreck the school and throw the par
ents and pupils in jail unless they
complied with his vaccination orders."
A. L. Sutton is attorney for the
parents.
Mrs, Manderville
Dies Suddenly On
Tuesday Evening
After shoveling snow from his
walk Tuesday evening, R. C. Mander
ville re-entered his home, 2416 North
Seventeenth street and found his
mother, Mrs. Mary A. Manderville,
gasping on her deathbed. She ex
pired a moment later, supposedly
from lung or bronchial trouble, with
which she was afflicted. She was 66
years of age.
She had retired early, as was her
custom, the son said. Although a
chronic invalid and not so well as
usual Tuesday evening, she was not
supposed to be in serious condition
when she retired.
The funeral will be held Thursday
at 9 a. m. from Sacred Heart church
and burial will be in St. Mary's ceme
tery. Hist! Maloney's
On the Trail of
"Snookums"' Thief
Lpon recovery of his prized dog,
"Snookums," Chief of Detectives Ma
loney immediately made plans to ar
rest and prosecute the man who is
said to have stolen the pet.
"I don't know whether to arrest
him for kidnaping or grand larceny,"
the chief said.
Fred Palmtag, Missouri Pacific de
tective and friend of Maloney, found
the dog in possession of a woman
living in the north part of Omaha,
who asserted the animal was brought
to her by an expressman. "Snook
ums" greeted Palmtag with a bark
of friendship and followed him away
from the woman's home.
City Paying Only $55
For the Old Arc Lamps
I. W. Zimman. contracting agent
for the Omaha Electric .Light and
Power company, explained to the city
council that his company is charging
the city on the basis of $55 a year
net for the old arc lamps until such
a .lime as they are replaced by the
new type of lamps being installed
under the five-year contract recently
approved. The question was raised
whether the company was charging
$75 a year under the old contract,
but this misunderstanding was
cleared up by Mr. Zimman. Some of
the new lamps have been installed
and others are being placed as fast
as the company can do the work,

TROUBLES A&k X
WICK AND INMATES
AREDISCHARGED
Place Not Disorderly When
Second Raiding Officer
Gets in the Door.
OBTS ADVICE FROM JUDGE
A five-second delay in arrival of
other witnesses for the police at Gus
Wick's place last Friday gave inmates
a chance to "quiet down," according
to Morals Officer Paul Sutton.
The result was that the slate
lacked evidence 4o corroborate Sut
ton's testimony that the place was
disorderly, and so Police Judge Fitz
gerald discharged Wick and the
twenty-eight men and women ar
rested as inmates.
'It would be popular for me to fine
you," the judge told Wick, "but there
is insufficient evidence of either un
lawful acts or disorderly conduct. I
would, however, advise you to get rid
of the bar in your place."
.Morals Urhcer Cunningham, who
raided the place with Sutton, was
twenty feet behind his partner, and
when he reached the Wick place all
was quiet and orderly, he testified.
Sutton testified Tuesday, at the first
hearing of the case, that he had
raided the place because he heard and
saw disorderly conduct.
After all his clients had been dis
charged. Attorney Ritchie asked
Judge Fitzgerald i.f it would be safe
lor tnem to patronize a certain dance
hall, recently mentioned in the
clean-up crusade, whose ca endared
advertisement was hanging on the
wall of police court. The judge
laughed and said he guessed it was
safe to patronize.
Wheat Fourteen Cents
Lower Than a Week Ago
It was a slow market, with nobody
anxious to either buy or sell, at least
so far as wheat was concerned.
Omaha cash wheat prices were 'i
to 3 cents off, the sales of the day
being made at $1.83 to $1.86Jj, or
about 14 cents lower than a week
ago. Receipts were forty carloads.
Corn was in good demand and
cent up, selling at $1.02 to $1.04 per
bushel. The receipts were forty
seven carloads.
Oats lost 'A to cent and sold at
56)4 to 57J4 cents per bushel. Re
ceipts were twenty-eight carloads.

When exactly 691 tickets were is

Merchants' Market Week entertain
ment Tuesday night, it was clearly
shown that this is the largest attend
ance of out-of-town merchants Omaha
has had in the few years that this
semi-annual market feature has been
carried out. Of course, not quite all
of the 691 were out-of-town mer
chants, for a lot of the local wholesal
ers, hosts in the entertainment, went
to the theater with them At the
same time there were many out-of-town
merchants who did not take in
the theater party, so it is clear that
the number of visitors here was ex

Wednesday proved the bigRcst day

up to this time on account of the
condition of the weather.

SCHOOL PROGRESS '
IN S0UTI AMERICA
Bishop Stuntz Tells of Great
Educational Advancement in
Aregentina, Uruguay, Peru.
EXCHANGE OF PROFESSORS
Rapid strides made in public educa
tion in South America during the
scant fifty years since its introduc
tion, were pointed out by Bishop
Homer C. Stuntz ir. a talk at the Uni
versity club at noon. Argentina and
Umguary have reduced the percentage
of illiteracy from 11 to 50 per cent.
I'eru, the latest to introduce a pub
lic school system, has yet an 80 per
cent illiteracy.
Ruenos Aires now has a thriving
university of 5,0011 students and Uru
guay, one of 1,800, though prior to
law there was no educational sys
tem in South America except that of
the church.
"The mission schools furnished the
impulse for the introduction of pub
lic schools," said the bishop. "For
fifty years before the mission schools
were paving the wav for the later
schools. The Methodist missions alone
have 7,000 enrolled and other de
nominations have large numbers as
well
"An execrable lain! svstcni, which
holds peons in what amounts to 'in
dustrial slavery; aristocratic ideals of
Latin-America, which would arrogate
education onlv to the ruling class, and
a shortage of trained teachers ham
per the advance of education there.
Because there is 110 laud tax as such,
only a tax on improvements, there can
be no rural schools. The population
is too scattered and there is no reve
nue accruing to support the schools."
New land laws and interchange of
professors are advocated as remedial
measures. xo. Kowe ot the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania spent a year at
La Platta and a Chilean professor will
come this year to Cornell university,
through the influence if Bishop Stuntz,
who spent tour years in south Amer
ica before accepting his post as Meth
odist bishop of Omaha.
Bishop Stuntz will set out next
week on a district tour in the interests
of missions.
