The Board of Education spent the greater
part of last night's session In listening to
advice. The citizens' committee , Including
Mctsrs. Herman Kountzc , W. S. Fopplcto.i ,
Edward Rosewater , Alfred Mlllard , P. 13.
Her , Joseph Barker , John A. Horbach and
Ferdinand Strcltz , was In attendance to urge
economy In school affairs and the board went
Into committee of the whole to hear the
rccommcnuauons.
Mr. Kounlzo said that ho was not partic
ularly familiar with the school system , but
ho was ono of many citizens who had found
that the expenses of municipal government
were becoming very burdensome and they
were anxious that every unnecessary expense
eliould be avoided. He cited the fact that
the Board ot Education was paying much
more to Its Janitors than Janitors In other
places were receiving. It was paying many
Janitors from ? SO to $11G a month , while
Janitors who were employed by Individuals
were getting $40 and $50 a month. Ho also
referred to the salaries of teachers as being
higher than these paid to the teachers of
other cities.
W. S. Popplcton said that the committee
had been brought thcro by on extraordinary
elateof affatts. There was not a family era
a business firm In Omaha that had not cut
Its expenses fully 50 per cent , but the school
system was being run on the same expensive
btsls as In previous year * . Ho contended
that the general tax levy for 189C should be
kept down to 40 mills.and In order to do
this the levy for the school fund could not
exceed 5 mills. Ho also suggested a reduc
tion In the salaries of Janitors. In reference
to the teachers , ho said that this was the
only class of people that had not contributed
to relieve the general depression. Salaries
In every other line of business had been cut"
to a largo extent , whllo the teachers were
still drawing the salaries of prosperous times.
Ho advised raising ! the number of pupils per
teacher to fifty , by which ho suggested th.it
150,000 might bo saved.
Joseph Barker Illustrated the necessity for
retrenchment by showing the manner In
which himself and other heavy property
owners were embarrassed by the stringency
of the times combined with heavy taxation.
The returns on Investments were very small
and the taxes so heavy that men of largo cap
ital had not cleared a single dollar on which
to support their families during the past
two years.
NON-ESSENTIALS AN OPPORTUNITY.
Edward Rosiewatcr said that he had been
a resident of Omaha for thirty-three years
ana this was the first
time that ho had no-
poarod to ask for retrenchment. He took
tno position that the school year should not
bo cut. But a largo amount of expenditure
could bo lopped oft by removing branches
of study that were not essential and which
were no part of an elementary education.
He contended that the system of supplying
pupils with books , stationery , apparatus , etc
was carried to excess. For instance , there
were very few people who sent children
to. the High school who could not afford to
pay for their stationery. Ho believed that
the revenue from licenses was underestimated
and that If a sincere effort wag made to
economize the board could get along with
G mills. The situation "was sor6us ! and
unless a halt was calle'd the time was likely
to come when city warrants would be unsal
able. The teachers might better suffer a
slight reduction In their salary than to bo
compelled to hawk their warrants on the
streets.
The board also listened to a delegation
from Ambler Place , that protested against
closing the Ambler school. The members
contended that whllo they were not heavy
property owners they had homes and chil
dren and their children should not bo de
prived of educational advantages any more
than those of the heavy property owners
down town.
In regular session Comptroller Westberg's
report of the cash In the treasurer's office
was placed on file. He was requested to
designate the banks In which school money
wag deposited In future reports.
A lot of applications for positions as Jani
tors were referred.
The resignation of the Janitor at the Gibson
school wns accepted and the" committee on
heating and ventilation was authorized to
fill the vacancy.
Miss Kathcrlno M. Morse , a training school
graduate , applied for a position as teacher.
Referred.
A long communication from City Treasurer
Edwards relative to the deposits of school
funds was referred to the committee on Judi
ciary and the attorney. The communication
was practically a presentation of the treas
urer's objections to allowing the board to
designate the banks In which the funds
liould be deposited.
INSURANCE FUND'CONTINUED.
The committee on finance reported that
insurance on school property , amounting to
IGfi.OOO , had expired during the year. It
recommended that the policy ot maintaining
an Insurance fund be continued ami tKtt
11,000 bo Invested in Interest-bearing se
curities on this account. Adopted.
The resolution providing for the abolition
of the department of modern languages In
the High school was placed on nlo.
The comptroller was directed by resolution
to furnish the board with a detailed monthly
statement of the balances In the hands of the
city treasurer.
The salaries of training school teachers *
were fixed at $ SO per month.
A resolution by Johnson Instructs the com-
mllleo on calarics lo bring In a report effect
ing a readjustment of the salaries of teachers
and principals Involving a reduction of from
10 to 20 per cent. The resolution was
promptly tabled.
Elmer Matton. Janitor of the board rooms ,
was granted a leave of absence to April 1 ,
on account of Illness , and the committee on
heating and ventilation was authorized to
fill the vacancy.
Plcrson's resolution to close the Pleasant
school and transfer Iho claspes to Mason
wag. referred to the committee on teachers
and examinations und the superintendent.
The contract for regulating the High school
clock w&8 ordered let to John Rudd for an
other year nl } 80.
The most sennatlonal feature of the session
came toward the clone In the shape of the
follow Ing resolution from Tukcy :
Whereas. IJy contract entered Into May
13 , ! & $ . > , between the city council ot Omaha
nnd the school district of Omaha , wherein
It was mutually agreed tlml the nboyo

GIVES BAKER THE LIMIT.FOR WIFE BEATING
Sorrr He Could Not Send Him to Jnli
fur n Ion rrr Time for III *
Cruel
OJToiiNu. i
II. J. Baker , the wlfobeator , who has been
In Jail for several days , was sentenced yester
day morning by Police Judge Gordon to ninety
days In the county Jail , the middle ten on
bread and water. Judge Gordon then looked
through the s-tatutcs to see It ho could not
find some more penalties to Impose.
Linker's wife did not appear In court to
prosecute. There were two reasons why she
was not there. One was that she was still
too lit. The other was that she reared that
her husband would kill her , or severely beat
her again when his sentence expired. A
number of her relatives appeared , however ,
and their knowledge of ( he assault , together
with the admission of the prisoner , were
enough to convict him.
Frank McKcnna and his sister were- two
of the witnesses against llaker. The former
related the lilftory of the assault , as told to
him by Mrs. Daker , an account of which
has already been published. The sister testi
fied to the Injuries received by the beaten
woman. She said that the woman's hoail
was bruised , both of her eyes were black
ened , her cheeks were swollen and black and
blue , a heel mark appeared on her breast
where Dakor had stepped upon her , and a
long burn on her harm showed where he
had thrown her against a hot stove.
"Sho was In a horrible condition , " the
woman added.
Baker at first tried to work the bravado
act. Ho refused to ask any of the witnesses
questions until ho had an opportunity to
swear out warrants for them on some charge.
Ho later changed his mind.
"I did It In self-defense , your honor , " was
his pica. "Sho hit me first and then 1
knocked her down. I did not kick her , or
walk on her , but I'll admit that I slapped
her with iny open hand. I want some of
these people arrested. They came with n
gang at midnight to kill me "
The gang ho referred to consisted of the
woman's son-in-law and the police officers.
"Has this man ever beaten his wife be
fore ? " asked the Judge of McKcnna , the son-
in-law.
"That's his business , " answered McKenna.
"Ho don't do anything else. "
When Baker was asked why sentence
should not be Imposed , ho reiterated the
statement that his wife began the row and
would not stop , ho being compelled , there
fore , to knock her down. He said ho could
prove by a witness , Felix Slagle , who Is
working at Fort Crook , that the wife was the
attacking party.
"I believe that It Is only an accident that
you did not kill your wife , " said Judge Gor
don. "It certainly was not your fault that
you did not I'll give you the limit , " and
he Imposed the sentence.
It was the Intention of the authorities at
first to file a complaint against Daker , charg
ing him with assaulting his wlfo with Intent
to inflict great bodily Injury , but as the wife
refused to appear against him , It was finally
decided that a conviction could not be se
cured.
Daker appears to be an expert In the beatIng -
Ing line. About a year ago ho wns sen
tenced to sixty days In the county Jail by
Judge Dcrka for assaulting his wife , and
later ho was again In police court for beating
one of his little daughters.

In a wlno room found Mack Smart nnd a
number of women drinking. Jones entered
the room and Insisted that ho at once form

light followed. Razors were drawn and
Jones' coat was cut. Officer Dillon arrived
t this moment and arrested Smart for as
sault with Intent to do great bodily Injury.
The affair appears to have resulted from
a cutting affray Sunday night , in which
Julia Rose , living at Tenth and Douglas

razor l > v Maud Hulmnks , who lives at 115

Itcrolved , That iwo denounce and rcpu
dlnte the action of the members of the rlty
council and corporation rlngsters , Allan
Ilurinc'stcr , Christie , Jnync > , Lcmly , Mercer
Prince , Taylor , Thomim and Saumlers , who
refused to recognize the wishes or the cltl
ECUS of the south wide cNprcssed nt h
polls ns unprecedented , and that Ihel
names be spread upon the records of till
club for consideration at future convcn
tlon < ) nnd elections.
The wrath of the meeting wast cspcclallj
directed against Wheeler , although Hascal
came In for his full share of denunciation
John Powers stated that Wheeler was ul
ways and ever would bo the enemy of the
south sldo as was shown by his prcvlou
record. Ho extended his remarks to the pres
ent council ag well as the past councils , whose
members , lie stated , peemed to have con
spired to defraud the south -side of Its rights
Of Has'call he said ha might bo looked upoi
as n resident of the First ward ns his rcsl
denco seemed to bo as unstable as his poll
tics. He held that both ho and Whcclc
would be the tols of the Burlington and the
street railway company , and that whllo the }
were In the council First warders would be
compelled to sit back and whistle as far ar
the repairing of the Eleventh street vladuc
and the Improving of the south side wns
concerned.
Morris Morrison denounced the council. He
raid that he did not believe that the cor
pratlons should be mentioned In the rcsolu
tlons at all , because the meeting did no
know of which ones the objectionable coun
oilmen were Iho tools.
Ernest Stuht announced that bo had bsei
turned down by the council because It knew
that he would bo no tool of corporations am
because ho had reclaimed himself opporac
to all additional bond propositions. He salt
that at first the council thought he wouh
bo snowed under at the polls and agreed t <
the primaries , but when the people picket
him out as tliclr choice the council backet
out of Its agreement to abide by the declsloi
at the primaries.
Ao a complement to the resolution a mo
tlon was made and unanimously carried tha
the resolutions be published In the English
Bohemian and German languages In circu
lar form and that these be sent to ovcrj
voter In the ward , the expense to bo paid by
the club.
Another motion was passed that the names
of the councllmen who voted for Wheeler
and Hascall bo read at every meeting. This
motion passed with an enthusiastic whoop.
A. E. Stuht resigned his position as secre
tary of the club on account of his studies
and A. E. Walkup was elected to the position
