to Titr. BKI : . I The cripples did not seem to
bo very much crippled Judging from the wny
they played ball todny , for n better game
than they put up has not been soun hero
this season. Tlio Omaha bo.vs arrived from
Sioux City only an hour before the game ba-
gan , but ihoy wont to work with a vim that
astonished Iho Duluth crowd who hnd boon
counting on nn easy victory for the homo
club. Fields nppoarod in right field but did
not hnvo much clmnco to show his ability
save nt the bat , and there ho did nothing.
ICuofo pitched the game for the visitors ,
and up to the ninth Wright was the only
man who had found him. nnd not a Duluth
man had scon homo base. Then O'Brien
scratched out a bit' and Walsh'.s wldo throw
to second of Kly's sacriilce gave him second.
O'Hourko got n base on balls and then Ham
burg banged out a two-bagger , which lot In
all three , and ho himself wns sacrificed homo
by Ooodenough.
McIIalo for the locals was both wild and
vulnerable. In the second the visitors got a
run on a baio on balls , Kly's error nnd a
fincrllicq.
It tbo fourth Dung.m got n thrco-baggor
end McCIolland , Walsh nii-l Fields followed
with two-baggers , bringing In three runs.
In the sixth thrco singles , an error nnd
two sacrifices scored four moro for Omaha.
Walsh played n magnificent game nt short ,
though two wldo throws were charged to
him. Outside of thnt Omaha put up nn
errorless game. Koofo struck out six mou ,
Duluth's heavy hitters being entirely puz
zled. Score :

Mii.wAtncui : , Wis. , Aug. 1. [ Speciul Telegram -
gram toxin : BBB. ] Tbo homo team won the
first gnmo of the series from the Senators
today. It was a pitchers' bnttlo from the
start. In which Vickery had n little the best
of It. Ho wus at bis best , and shot
lie ball over the pluto as If
It came , out of a cannon , besides
bis support was excellent. Up to the eighth
inning not n Lincoln man hnd crossed the
pinto , and not the sign of n hit hnd been
mndo off his delivery. O'Doy was nlso In
line pitching form nnd kept tbo locals ( town
to six scattering hits. Ho was responsible ,
though , for the two runs in the first. But
for his error the sldo would hnvo bceon re
tired.
The playing of Raymond at short was the
feature of tbo game , ho accepting every
thing thnt cnmn his wny , besides making
three very difficult backward running
catches. Stafford nlso distinguished him
self In center , mnking n brilliant long run
ning catch. Cirim put up a splendid gama nt
third for the homo team , but wns a little off
in his throwing to first base.
"Hoddy" Uhrot nnd "Phenomenal" Smith
will bo the opposing twirlcrs tomorrow nnd
It Is expected unothor pitched buttlo will bo
the result.
The locals started the scoring in the
first. Burke bit for two bases ,
Pottlt reached llrst on O'Dny's
fumble. Karlo was hit by a pitched ball and
the bases were full , Uulrymplo fouled out to
Wilson nml Shoch sent n slow ono to center
for a single , Burke nnd Pottlt scornjg. Grim
sent a liner to Hnymond , who mude a pretty
double play , retiring Karlo nt third.
In the third the locals scored ono moro.
Burkn got llrst base on balls , wont to third
on Fault's two-baso drive and scored when
Wilson dropped the ball thrown by Haymond
to catch him nt the plate.
The locals scored two In iho nt nth on fnic-
oosslvo hits by Dalrymplo , Shoch nnd ( Jrlm

gram to Tim Bm.j The preliminary prac
tice in the eleventh rillo competition of the
Department of the Platte , came to n close at
the Bellnvuo raugo yeslerday , having occu
pied the greater part of three days.
On Thursday the marksmen llred at known
distances both In the morning and afternoon ,
and mndo some remarkable shots.
Thcso are shown In the first column , in the
second appears the order of the marksmen In
the known distance tiring. In the third ap
pears Iho record in ono and one-half days
tiring at known distances , while In the fourth
appears the result of n half day's skirmish
work. The last column shows the order of
the competitors in the three days' work.
As a whole the showing is very satisfnc-
lory , especially in view of the fact Ihat
marksmen , ns a rule , rarely shoot as well
during the preliminary practice ns th03f do
when they know that every shot counts In
determining whether or not they are to have
n plnco upon llio dopnrlment team. Even
when they nro satlsllod llmt they cannot se
cure such u urizo the men do their best be
cause their shooting then gives them u stand

doing so felt he wns telling them to back the
best horse he over owned. Ho nlso snld ho
was willing to give' Colonel Pulsifcr nnother
chnnco to bent him if ho wanted It. Ho also
said tbnt ho would probably change the win
ner's name to Hocklodgo , which , is the title
of his hotel property Jn Florida.
Tenny's owner was soon after tbo rneo and
snid ho was satisfied that thn race had been
a true ono with a well earned victory for
Longslreot , and while ho hnd no excuse to
offer for his horse ho atlribulod his defeat to
the fact that Longstroot was n bettor horse
than ho had thought him , nnd whllo there

almost groundless may bo shown by the

The dlfllculty which has arisen octuecn
Stiporlntondoiit of Buildings Hamilton nnd
Architects Bell and Berllnghoff which caused
Mr. Fred Mongcdoht , the contractor , to
stop work on the Kellom school building ,
promises to open the oye.s of several members
of the board In it surprising manner buforo It
U Dually adjusted.
Secretary Conoyor , Mr. MnrtluMr.Wchror ,
Mr , ICelloy and some others of the bonnl of
education were quite positive ycsterdny
In stating to n reporter for Tin : BKK thnt the
board hnd notncreod to employ Messrs. Uoll
& Uerllnghofr to suporintoud the construc
tion of the building , but in .accepting1 tno
plans for the Ivcllom school submitted by
Bell & Berllnghoff the board simply ngrecd
to pny ; t per cent of tno cost of the building
for tbo plniH. Mr. Conoyor nlso stated to
the reporter that the board hnd not ngroed to
nnd would not pny for extra plans prepared
by the architects In mnking the change !
necessary for tbo Bmond system of homing
nnd ventilation.
\VliU ! llio ContrnutN Hiow.
An examination ef the bond furnished by
Bell & BerllngholT rovenlod the fnct , how
ever , thnt the document spoclllcnlly states
thnt Bell & Berllnghoff uro to superintend
the erection of the building.- This might pos
sibly bo evaded on the ground that It was
simply n bond nnd nol a contract , but a lltllo
further investigation revealed still another
hold that the architects have upon the board
nnd it appears to bo a doitblo-back-aetioii
clincher.
in tno contract drnwn up between the
board nnd the contractor , Air. Fred Mengiv
doht , there nro three vor3' uerllnont sections
which seem to have been entirely overlooked
by the board. Jn the llrst of thcso It Is pro
vided thntthejnruhiiocts shall superintend the
construction of the building nml they shall
have power to Issue instructions to tlio con
tractor ns to when ho shnll begin the work.
The second pnragraph that givoi the archi
tects the Insldo track" states that in all dis
putes as to tbo material to bo used or charges
to bo made , the architects shall bo called
upon to decide between the board and the
contractor , nnd their decision stint ) bo llunl.
The third specification In fnvnr of the
architects Is n definite provision thai all par
tial payments advanced by the board to Mr.
Mongedoht slinll bo inndo upon estimate ?
furnished by the nrchttocls , Bell & Berling-
holT.
linrin Already Done.
' Tlio fnct of the matter is. " said Mr. Bor-
Hnqbofl' lust night after looklnir over the con
tract which the board undo with Mr. Mongo-
itoht , "thu board of education lias alroadv
violated the contract in refusing to allow Mr.
Moiigcdoht. thn estimate wo submitted nt tno
lust mooting. I don't Ijclievo tbo member *
of tbo board were conversant wilh the word
ing of the contract , or they would not have
insisted upon having nn estimate from Mr.
Hamilton. According to the contract the
board must net upon our estimates. "
"Do you intend to hold the hoard for 1 per
cent for superintending the construclion of
the buiidingi"
"Certainly wo shnll. Why should wo not ?
The contract with Mr. Ment'cdoht and'our
Iwud both f.tnto that wo are to superintend
the erection of the building , nnd wo shall
llvo right up to the contract. "
"Do you nxiiect to collect pay for the extra
plans furnishoU for the Srno'nd svstein of
ventilation ? "
"To be sure wo will. Wo had to draw n
complete extra sot of plans , after making
crmni'os for steam hoatlng , and nlthough wo
should hnvo ! i per cent of. the entire cost of
thu building for those extra plans , wo have
decided to charge only ! 2 pur cent for the
extra work. As it stands wo shall
charge ! ! per cent for the orig
inal plans , " , ! ) per cent for
llio new sot furnished for the Smead sys
tem of ventilation and 1 par cent for stipurin-
tnuding the erection of the uuilding. Tbo
board has paid us $1,100 , and wo still have
coining over SI,000 more. There uro some
extra plans for plumbing that wa ought to
have pay for In addition to the items I have
mentioned. Wo are willing to do the fair
thing , but wo should not be expected to work
two weok.H on n complete now sot of nlnns
for nothing.1
Hamilton Cnn't Piny.
Speaking of the dispute between himself
and Mr. Hamilton , Mr.- Berlin gbofl said :
"Wo shnll insist upon our rights under the
contract to superintend the construction of
the building. If the board desires to have
Mr. Hamilton up there to watch the work ,
wo shall not object , but ho has no right to
order any changes in tbo plans or In the ma
terial. Mr. Hamilton moans nil right , bul ho
Is lee anxious lo hnvo things bis own wny.
Ho orders the contractor to do things
that nro absurd nnd useless , nnd I um not
surprised that Mr. Mengcdoht occamo ex
asperated mid iUit ] the work until this dls-
liutc should bo settlod. I have nolillcd Air.
Mongcdoht to proceed with the work within
forty-eight hours or I shall ndvlso the board
to taku possession of Ibo work and declare
his contract void , us the contract itsoif
specifies. "
Mr. Menuedoht was seen last night nnd
talked very frankly about the sltualion. Ho
said : "Mr. Hamilton took .tbo
liberty of ordering changes in tlio
material called for in the contract
so that the brick work would , if I continued
nt the present rnto , cost inn SiO u 1,000 in
the wall ilisload of S. Ho ordered mo to
inako the mortar half cement and tbut , made
It so thin that , wo could scarcely use It. If
Mr , Hamilton is to bo permitted to order all
the changes ho wishes I shall have to have
a ii'iw contract for j- . " > i,0N ) ) or quit riKht
where it stands. 1 want tbo board to decide ,
once for nil , who is the buporintondent of thu
building nnd I am willing to go nlicnd accord
ing to the contract , but I will not liavo nny
man running nrouml umong my men ordering
thorn to do thus nnd so. When tlio author *
i/.ed superintendent , whoever ho Is , wauls
changes made ho should come to mo or my
foreman. Any mnn who ims had any experi
ence in building knows that It will not do to
have half a do/en oossos ordering a force of
workmen. "
AVIioro Wohrnr Comes In.
It scorns that Mr. Wohror was the man ru-
f erred to bv Mr. Mcngedobt when ho told
Mr. Hamilton that certain members
of the board bad notified him not
to obey Mr. Hamilton's Instructions with
rcforonco la the chungu of plans or material.
Air.Vchror said , however , yesterday that ha
had not ulvon Mr. Mergodoht nny such In
structions. Ho simply said that Mr. Merge
doht would bolter go nhond with the work.
Mr. Wchrer snld ho had no Intention of
creating any trouble between the contractor
and Mr. Hamilton.
Taking it all through , the ICollom school
mil.ldlo is n great "ketllo of llsh , " nnd there
will ko merry war before it Is llimlly ad

union of American Hebrew congregation * ,
hnvo nddrossod to the sccrotnry of
the treasury n communication on the
subject of the Immigration of HUB-
shin Hebrew to llio United Ktntcs.
In thnlr nddress the writers , whllo deploring
the nrrlvnl in Ibis country of so ninny of their
oxltcd people , maintain Hint the statutes of
the United States should not be so inter
preted ns to elnss thorn as paupers or insisted
omlernnt * "when hnuds of licit ) nnd wolcoino
nro outstretched to olovnto them to the
exalted position of American citizenship
without demanding nny contribution * from
national or local taxes , " etc.
Secretary Foster hns replied In substance
r.s follows :
llo assured iroiitlemati that I fully concur In
yniirosilintiioof the nmunltiidoor iho present
calamity which Ims befallen to many < > r your
nice , as Udl us In your hone that an early
mltlKiitliin or cc.sH tlon of thn current mca-
HUIOS of expulsion may render unnecessary
any general migration of Uii slaii HclmnMi to
America or elsewhere.
l'iiiUeslloiiably | asmtden Inllux of expatri
ateI and de-M tile aliens of any race would
no a Kravn misfortune to nnv country nnd
American Hebrews not both palrlotlcally and
humanely when they advlso Jewish refuiruus
against coming hither , hut at the same tlmo
endeavor to render solf-supportlm ? these who.
finally eoinn.
Obviously the support of cieut numbers of
dependent persons Is a l'ix upon the resources
of the country , even llion h iiald from private
fluids , nnd unite as plainly In Mistrial condi
tions hero might bo r-crlonslv disturbed bv llio
Hiiddcu arrival and the enforced eompct'lllon
of a tiiull.tiiiloof needy people. I lenre H Is Im
portant to the last decree that the v.iliimoof
thi is expected refusco Immigration be not e\-
cosilroortliruiilonlni ; , and that wlib entire \
certainty to le ; promptly and widely dlstnhii- . *
led so as to supply a wr.inl In seatlered coin-
muiiltlos and Inlerfeie as lltllo n.s posslhut
with existing and normal Imlustr.al condi
tions.
"While tbo immigration law.s of the 1'nltod
Stales must and will bo enforced. I aureo that
those laws were never enacted In
derogation of the plainest roqtlllo-
inents of liumiinlty and no worthy Immluriint
who in other respects incuts the demands of
our statutes should lie excluded from the
country becaii.so , tliroiigb tbo action of others
1m is for the time being homeless and without
pioperly. " * >
I shall rely upon your voluntary iissuraaco
that you will actively nru'e upon your hreth-
len In ICorope the attitude of our laws toward
assisting Immigration , f also beg to remind
you thai , any tendency abroad to deflect
toward this country the movement of desti
tute refugees or to stimulate their migration
hither would bo distinctly hostile to the spirit
manifested In your 'letter and to thu spirit.
In uh'.ch the covernnieot , uf tlio Culled Ht.itos
desires to treat this dllllciilt and delicate
problem.
