Main Feature of the Contest Over the E'cc-

Account of Her ltolliluii rnl Tcnclior

While the election of principals and teach
ers for the next school year by the Board
of Education last Monday night was sup
posed to cover the entire field , It may be
noted that two very Important positions
were left unfilled. These are the super-
vlBorshlps of music and drawing , which have
been filled for several years past by Miss
Fannlo Arnold and Miss Ethel Evans , re
spectively. These were left for future con
sideration and will constitute a red hot sub
ject for discussion at the next meeting of
the board.
At the last meeting a vigorous effort was
made by five members of the board to have
Miss Evans' case decided , as no objection
had ever been raised against her ability or
methods. But the majority of the mem
bers refused to consider the matter , or to
glvo reasons for such refusal. Behind this
majority action lurks a state of affairs
which Is denounced as outrageous by the
five members who are not In sympathy with
the scheme.
The situation took Its present phase when
the local council of the American Protective
association promulgated an order that Miss
Arnold , who was a Catholic , should be de
posed from her position In the schools.
This order consisted of four distinct de
mands which were madu obligatory on the
members of the order who are on the Board
of Education. The first provided that Miss
Arnold should bo dismissed and that If It
appeared that her dismissal alone could not
be accomplished the supervisor of drawing ,
who is a 1'rotestant , should be Included In
the decapitating process In order that the
action might not appear to bo purely sec-
tarlqn. The second demand named Lee G.
Kratz as Miss Arnold's successor and In
structed the American Protective associa
tion members to cast their votes for him.
The third demand provided that In case It
should be found Impossible to secure the
election of Mr. Kratz a compromise might
bo effected on any Protestant candidate ,
while the fourth was to the effect that In
case it should be found Impossible to take
the position out of the possession of a
Catholic , music should be abolished from
the schools.
The proceedings already had In this con
nection Indicate that some of the members
of the American Protective association party
n the board are not too anxious to enter
nto thp job of decapitating these two teach
ers. In each case the teachers'are unas
sailable and It is well understood that the
Ilimsy pretexts which may bo alleged as suf
ficient reason for their retirement will be
readily penetrated by the conservative ele
ment in the city. At the last meeting of
the Board of Education the opponents of the
scheme were anxious to force an Issue , but
the American Protective association members
had not their courage screwed up to the
necessary point , and as a result they dodgci
the question by voting a postponement for
two weeks.
TOO PAR FOIl THEM TO 00.
One reason for this hesitation Is fouiu
within the r'nks of their own colleagues
There are several members of the boarc
who are acknowledged members of the orJer
but who draw the line at what they boldly
characterize as "an Infamous outrage. " The ;
have flatly refused to vote under the dlrectlpr
of the council and maintain their right tc
act Independently of the preferences of the
politicians at whoso instance the order o
the American Protective association was Is
sued. Their sentiments were expressed bj
one of them yesterday when he said tha
ho had been a member of the American Pro
tectlve association s'nce its Incep
tlon In Nebraska. He still considers ,
himself a good A. P. A. , but ho dU not pro
pose to swallow the present prospect. "Isn"
It a pretty state of affairs , " ho continued
"when such men as Israel Frank , Jim Win
spear , Jim Allen , Dan Angel and Dr. Savllh
dictate to me how I shall vote as a membe
of the Board of Education am
name the teachers who can o
who cannot teach In the public schools
It Is a blank outrage and I won't stand it
They Intend to refuse to re-elect Miss Evan
for exactly the same reason that Miss McGe
was retired a year ago. There was no objec
tlon to Miss McOee , but Miss Crowley wa
a Catholic and had to go. Some one had t
bo sacrificed In order to take the curse of
and make It appear that something beside
religion was responsible for the dismissal
In the present case the pushers whom
have menticnel and their Ilk have declarei
that Miss Arnold must be retired In favo
of a Protestant and that Miss Evans mus
go , too , In order that It may be claimed tha
the change was In the Interest of retrench
ment and reorganization. But there h no
a person who knows anything about the situ
atlon who will be deceived by such a move
I propose to fight this thing to the last ditch
anJ there will be music In the air before th
battle Is over. "
With this sort of opposition In their owi
ranks and the general Impression that thel
action will be thoroughly understood by th
public the members are not In a hurry to gen
on record. They are not altogether sur
that they have the necessary votes and ar
sparring for wind , while the thumbscrew
are being brought to bear on one or tw
hesitating mrmbers to whip them Into lln
for the final ballot. On the other hand , th
friends of Miss Arnold and Miss Evans ar
up In arms nnd declare that some plain fact
will bo stated If the howling dervishes an
roustabouts of the A. P. A. element Insls
upon carrying out the present Intentions.
THEIU RECORDS SPLENDID.
Miss Arnold has been connected with th
Omah schools for the past seven years. i
portion of this tlmo she has been In the Hlg
school and for several years past she has ha
charge of the musical Instruction In all o
the schoole In the city. During this perlo
the Omaha schools have acquired a wide r pu
tatlon for the excellence of their musical in
struction and MUs Arnold's work has bee
most favorably commented on by every educator
cater of note who has visited this city.
Miss Evans has been Instructor In drawin
since September , 1894 , and her work has re
celved nothing but the most flattering com
mcnt. She was about to start for Prance t
still further perfect herself for her nex
year's work when the refusal of the boar
to re-elect her at the tlmo when the othe
teachers were elected caused a postponemen
of her plans.
Leo G. Kratz , who has been selected b
A. P. A , council No , 125 as Miss Arnold'
successor , Is a local Instructor In music an
a member of the "T. K. " quartet. Mis
Evans1 successor has not yet been men
tloned.
In connection with the retirement of
dozen teachers who failed of re-election Mon
day night It has leaked out that In encase
case , at least , the dervishes got In the !
work , Harriet II , Heller had been a mos
successful teacher In the Omaha schools fo
the past eight years. Her markings wer
1-2 , which Indicated that she was perfect 1
discipline and only ono mark short of perfcc
In Instruction. She was not recommende
for re-election this year and a story Is to !
by way of explanation.
It seems that some weeks ago Mrs. Helle
was talking with several other women whe
the matter of politics In the Board of Educa
tlon was brought up. At that time Mrs
Heller Is alleged to have said that there wer
two kinds of bigotry In this world. One wa
Protestant bigotry and the other wa
Catholic bigotry. Of the two she thought sh
preferred Protestant bigotry , but neverthe
lesi she thought that the A. P. A.'s wer
carrying things altogether too far. This re
mark was 'faithfully ' reported to council No
125 and the mandate of the howlingdervls
protectorate went forth that she must be re
tired.
Among the teachers elected are thlrtec
vrtio were not In the schools last year , bu
were selected from among the euccessfu
teachers of other cltlea. These , with thel
previous locations , are as follows ; Nelll
Van Duyn , Lincoln ; Cora Henry , Sprtngflelc

Ono or two of the .members of the board
who voted for lhe ! retirement of Mrs. Heller
tated that their action was on account of
lie fact that she was .a married woman. If
Ills were the case they must have expert-
need a remarkable 'change of heart , for
lilrty seconds thereafter they voted for the
lection of Mrs. Tuckar , the wife of the
uperlntendcnt of UiaiOtnaha Street Hallwny
ompany , who was -oKcted without a dls-
cntlng vote. _

Coroner Maul has not yet decided when he
vlll hold the Inquest over the remains of
lay Mlddleton , the woman who committed
ulclde Wednesday at the Presbyterian hospl-
al. The woman's Vitllse and trunk were
aken to the morgue yesterday , but she
lad carefully provided that no trace of her
eal name should appear. One handkerchief
vas marked in the corner , but the letters had
ieen partially effaced nnd were undlstln-
gulshable. The trunk was not marked , but
. tag attached to the handle bore the address -
dross , "N. W. Cook , Omaha Medical Instl-
ute. " No person of 'that ' name Is known
ind the Omaha Modlcal Institute lias long
since ceased to exist. I Jt , has been learned
: hat her name Is Maud Vest , nnd that her
: iome was In Sundance , Wyo. Her relatives
.hero have been notified and ask that the
jody be sent there.
The clothing was all neat and well made ,
bearing the same evidence of refinement
: hat characterized the actions of the young
ivotnan during her stay In the hospital. One
of her photographs , which bore the stamp ol
a Cheyenne photographer , was found among
lier effects. It Is the portrait of a verj
pretty and attractive looking woman. Ar
effort Is being made to locate "John Sharp , "
who signed the letters which were found or
tier person yesterday , but so far nothing has
been heard of him.
That the woman was not financially em
barrassed Is Indicated by the examination o :
her clothing , In v/hlch a roll of bills amount
ing to $75 was found sewed In the lining o :
her corset. The names of Mrs. M. E. Mar
tin and Rose E. Harper were written on tin
Inside of the valise , but It is not believed tha

BABBIBT IS PUT ON THE STAND
tluiony In tlio Crlmlnnl Libel Cuio
Agnlnit IMIlor Itukor.
The trial of the criminal libel suit , In
which Joseph Babbitt , the foreman ot the last
grand jury , appears as prosecuting witness ,
vas resumed In the district court yesterday ,
labbltt showed considerable animus. It was
Icvclopcd that he had had a conversation with
Editor Raker , giving him considerable In-
! ormatlon concerning women of the town ,
claiming that ho knew that more of them
Ived outside than In the proscribed district.
Joe Babbitt was placed In Uie witness box.
After the various Issues of the Grctna Re
porter had been allowed by the Judge of the
criminal section to be placed In evidence
questions were put to ascertain why Editor
taker did not consider It necessary to pub-
Ish a retraction. Babbitt was Insisting that
t should be done , because the school children
of the neighborhood of Gretna plagued his
children , telling them that "their pa liad
lecn In n saloon and drank beer" or talk of
hat nature.
Raker replied , so Babbitt testified , that
even If the unsophisticated youth nf the
country would not comprehend such matters
t was a legitimate matter uf news , besides
> elng true , that Babbitt had been to Fritz
Wlrth's , where there was guzzling of beer
and playing of music. Raker further said
hat he liad satisfactory evidence of the
- IsltH and ho could not afford to take back
what was the truth , nor did ho consider It
his duty to suppress such facts , although
.ho party Implicated was a pillar In ono of
he churches.
Babbitt averred that ho was subject to all
he passions of humanity. This Interesting
iolnt came out In answer to questions re-
atlng to his visit the first week In March to
laker's office In Gretna , when Babbitt dc-
nanded a retraction of the statement that he
had been visiting the dives of the burnt dls-
rlct.
"Do I understand you to say that you have
o Ill-feeling ? " asked the attorney for the
efense.
"I have the passions of humanity , but no
II-feellng , " responded Babbitt. After a.
noment's reflection upon the details of what
e had said and done to Raker he concluded
p hedge and asked permission to qualify
Is statement. The state objected and no
uallficatton was made.
Babbitt's knowledge of the burnt district
iscame an Interesting subject of Inquiry ,
'estlfy-lng for himself he stated that he told
laker at the time he attempted
o chastise him for having published a story
vlth reference to the life of a grand juror
n Omaha , that he ( Babbitt ) knew the limits
f the burnt district thoroughly and that he
lad not been there , as the article written
by Raker stated was the case. Cross-ex-
imlned as to the limits of the burnt dls-
rlct the witness suddenly forgot his testl-
nony on this point and could not recall the
ocallty.
"Did you not state that your children came
rushing homo after school and complained
hat they were being teased because their
ather had visited a disreputable place , and
lid you not visit such a place ? " Babbitt was
asked.
"I did , " answered the witness , wriggling
n his chair.
Several offers of testimony were made by
the defense , but the court ruled them out.
The defense offered to show that Babbitt told
a cabman on the night when he Is alleged to
have made his tour that ho would not like
lo have anybody know that he was In that
quarter of town. This the court ruled out
An offer was made to prove that Babbitt
took an oath as a grand Juror to Investigate
the affairs of the burnt district. It was pro
posed to follow this up by showing that he
visited the places In question and that la'er
the grand jury failed to return Indictments In
these cases. This also the court ruled ou' .
The testimony In the Raker-Babbitt libel
suit was continued at the session of the
criminal court In the afternoon , the state
concluding Its testimony by calling several
postmasters from Grotna , Elkhorn and
Waterloo to show that the Reporter has a
circulation. The court allowed leading
questions to bo asked on the theory that
the witnesses were not biased. Before the
defense began Us testlmcny a motion was
filed asking for Instructions to have a ver
dict returend for Raker. The defense cited
cases showing that not only must the state
show there was malice , but It must show
that the publication was false , whereas no
such testimony had been offered. Charles
Tuttle , ono of Raker's attorneys , also pre
sented authorities to the effect that Bab
bltt was n public servant , and so open to
free criticism. The court said ho had made
up his mind on the question of malice am'
Intended sending the case to the jury. The
motion was overruled.
John Peters was the first witness called
by the defense. Ho Is a hackman wltli
Stephenson ; knew Babbitt and saw him
drinking what he took to be soda water In
Fritz Wlrth's the night of February 20 last
In company with Babbitt's friends. This
was In the music hall about 9 o'clock. The
following night he found him there again
and Babbitt proposed a trip down on Ninth
street. The two walked first to Nellie
King's , then to Minnie Falrchlld's and then
to Blanche Burton's place , taking about ono
hour and a half for the trip. While Babbitt
went into the private parlors where Peters
could not see anything , Peters testified ho
himself waited outside , talking with the
girls.
