CHICAGO SCHOOL BOARD FIGH1
Judge Wlndes Refuses to Restralr
Mayor Busse from Naming Trustees.
Chicago , May 28. The circuit courl
refused to Interfere with Mayor Fred
Uusse in his efforts to secure a board
of educjitlon of his own making. Eight
of the trustees , who last week wer
removed by the mayor , went before
Judge Wlndes nnd asked for an In
junction restraining Mr. Busso from
ousting them or appointing new mem
bers In their places before their terms
expired. After listening to four houn
of argument , Judge Wlndes dismissed
the petition for an Injunction on the
ground that Mayor Busse has the
power to oust officials of the school
board.
The city council approved the ap1
polntments of Mayor Uussc to take the

Electric Lighting Plants Short Lived.
During thu past year the technical
press has recorded thu breaking down
of a largo number of municipal elec
tric light plants because the equipment
was worn out. It Is Interesting to note
that In a largo majority of cases th
necessity for abandoning or renewing
the plant came at a period of from ton
to fifteen years after It had been In
stalled , .showing that the deteriora
tion by wear alone amounted to from
7 to 10 per cent a year.
According to thu municipal ownership -
ship advocates who claim that an al
lowance of 15 pur cent for depreciation
Is adequate , these plants should all
have lived for thirty years , yet wearIng -
Ing out Is only one of the forms of
depreciation , and most of these plants
had been hopelessly out of date Iwfore
their breakdown occurred.

from the experience of these nnd make

WOMAN'S CLUB WILL PETITION
CITY COUNCIL.
COULD QET A $10,000 BUILDING
Andrew Carnegie Would Qlve Norfolk
a $10,000 , Library Building if the
City Would Maintain It Expense
Would be Light on Citizens.
A committed of the Norfolk Wo
man's club will watt upon the city
council at Its meeting next week ask
ing that a two-mill tax bo levied for
the purpose of supporting Norfolk's
public library. This tax would
amount , It Is said , to $1,000 per year
and If levied would be the means of
securing for Norfolk a $10,000 free
Carnegie library building.
Thu Carnegie library commission
has been approached on the matter
and has given assurance that as soon
as Norfolk will provide for $1,000 per
year with which to maintain the li
brary , a Carnegie building costing $10-
0)0 ( ) will bo erected hero and given to
the city by Mr. Carnegie , steel Icing.
Would be Small Expense.
It Is said that the expense Involved
by n two-mill levy would be scarcely
noticed by Norfolk and that It would
bo small Indeed when compared with
the result to bo obtained. Tbo largest
taxpayer in town , it Is said , would bu
required to pay only $1 per year lu
support of the llbiary , while those
owning less property would bo calleil
upon for proportionately less sums.
Less Cost Than Now.
In fact the cost would bo less than
It Is now to many Norfolk people. All
persons who now use the public li
brary pay $1 per year for the privi
lege of getting books. Under the now
system , books would bo free.
Other towns In the state smaller
than Norfolk support Carueglo libra-
rles , It Is argued. Albion Is said tr
have just arranged for one , Ilavclocli
has just completed one and Pawnee
City has one of them. Hastings
Grand Island and other cities of that
class support such Institutions.
Seventy-live now books have just
been added to the library.

DUMA TABLES JEORISM TALK
Socialists Take Advantage of Absence
of Conservative Leaders.
St. Petersburg , May 29. Advantage
was taken of the absence of the con
servative leaders from the lower
house of parliament to bring up the
resolution condemning terrorism , and
the house decided by a vote of 219 to
146 to table Indefinitely the whole dis
cussion , which is one of the most
burning questions before parliament.
The constitutional democrats did
not participate In the debate. M.
Nebovodoft , a member of the group of
toll , proposed the resolution tabling
the motion to condemn terrorism , de
claring that any action on the part of
the house would be useless , as the
censure would be addresses to the
dead , as most of the terrorist names
were already Inscribed In the "books
of martys. " He asked If the govern
ment , with a million bayonets , was un
able to stop terrorism , of what avail
would be a simple resolution adopted
by 500 deputies under the thumb of
the administration.
