8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE2TUESDAY , MAIIOIT 17 , 1800. t t'tftnivi\t ff tr/MM r\n t iMirtn LLVISTON SUCCEEDS LEWIS Becomes llcatl of High School for Balance of the Year , PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD ItcnnlnllntiH of TloRret lit Dcpnrdire IllKli School Vcnr Mmlv Ton "Month * S for Ilclrcnclinicnt. The Board of Education departed from Its recent humdrum tactics laet night and for a brief period there was more sensational legislation on tap than had previously broke loops this year. H was all along the line of retrenchment , and It all the resolutions that wore eubmlttcd had been adopted there would have been a vortloblo massacre of the al- arlea of the employe ) . But the danger proved to be remote and all the multitudinous and conflicting motions and resolutions were eventually killed off In their order. Oration rtartcd the confurlon toward the cloo of the sc alon by offering a resolution which provided for a reduction ot about 2i ! per cent In the salaries of the janitors. A motion to refer the resolution to a com mittee was voted down , Then Plerson en livened the situation by offering as a sub stitute a motion that the nlarlca of all em ployes be cut as follows : Those receiving from $400 to $700 a year , 5 per cent ! $700 to $1,200 , 10 per cent ; more than $1,200 , 15 per cent. This brought half a dozen members to their feet nnd points of order , motions and amend ments followed each other with confusing rapidity. Finally Pleroon's substitute was lost by 8 to 7 and the resolution was laid on the table by a similar vote. Then Tukey offered n resolution which provided that In asmuch as the constant agitation ot the ques tion of a reduction of salaries waa working to the detriment of tlic schools. It be de H v clared the pence of the board that no further reduction ! ) should bo made this year , but economy should be effected by consolidation nnd the dismissal of the in ro Inefficient teachers. ' This was alro laid on the table. Tukcy was not discouraged , but followed It up with another resolution , by which the secretary was Instructed to advertise for bids for Janitor service at the various eclrol liouw ? . This alee went en the table by the same stereotyped vote , end the meeting adjourned with all members In decidedly bad humor. Earlier in the session the resignation of Prof. Homer P , Lewis , principal of the High school , to take effect March 19 , was sub mitted and referred to the High school com I mittee , on whom ; recommendation It was accepted. In this connection the following resolutions were olfered by Tukey and unan imously adopted : Whereas. In the resignation of Prof. Ho mer P. Lev.Is , for thirteen years principal of the Omaha High school , the public Bchools of the city lose nn educator of nmrkcd ability nnd of more than national reputntlnn , nnd every boy nml girl of the High school will look upon his departulo as n personal loss of a true friend nnd most estimable gentleman. Ilcsolved , That this Board of Education deeply < deplores the resignation ot Prof. Lewis ana. regrets e.vreeiMngly that our schools will lose his timely mlvlce , his chir- Jtnble criticisms , his wise counsel ana his ripe judgment , eo judiciously exercised In the conduct of all school mutters. lU-salveil , That wo extend to Prof. Lewis nnd his most nceomplls'ie.l wife our sincere congratulations , and tcndor our best wishes for their continued prosperity nnJ success. Resolved , That we congratulate the citi zens of Worcester , Mnss. , on securing a man EO thorouphly well qualified for the position he Is to occupy , and wo assure them thnt Prof. Lewis will bo equal to the emergency under any and all 'circum stance" . Uesolvcd , That these resolutions ho spread on the records of the bo.ird 'fond that a copy bo forwarded to Pjof. L wls ; after each member of the board , together'wlth the superintendent of Instruction , has huil nn opportunity of signing the same. PfiOF. LEVISTON PROMOTED. Prof. Irwln Levlston was then elected principal for the balance of the year. The committee's recommendation was that he be appointed "principal In charge , " but It was urged that an election would show the confi dence of the board In Prof. Levltton and put him In a better pos'tlon ' before the school. This view prevailed and the election fol lowed. The salary was fixed at $2,250 per year. year.A A recommeridatlon from Superintendent Banker that screen fences be constructed to protect the sod on the graunda at var ious schools at a cost of $230" was referred. The February report oC the city treasurer showed a balance In the fund of $40,777.50. Warrants aggregating $45,880.91 were paid during the monthr No Interest-drawing warrants nro now outstanding against the school fund. Attorney Covell reported that Frank E. Mooreu had refused to turn over the amount of the fine levied on Michael Wallenz for violating the liquor law. This was at the Instance of the county attorney , who con tended that the money properly belonged to the county. Attorney Covell stated that he was Inclined to , believe that the law was with the county attorney and the board voted to acqulcse In his opinion. The first batch of applications for the use of school rooms for cummer schools was received and referred , Mrs. Mary Sanford was- granted a leave of absence for the remainder of the year. / The application of B. i C. Burt for the position of principal of the High ozliool was referred to the committee on teachers aild examinations. > The Women's Christian Temperance union was given permission to occupy a room In the basement of the High school build ing for the purpose of serving lunches to pupils. A long vexed question was settled by the adoption of a resolution , by which $500 was appropriated to pay for the heating plant at the Long school. This bill has been the subject of numerous debates , In which payment of the bill wag postponed an tbo plea that the finances were not satisfactory. On motion ot Cramblett an Instructor was ordered employed for the High school drum corps at an expense of $20. On recommendation of the committee on High school the teaching force was reduced from thlrly-twp to twenty-seven teachers , to take effect at the beginning of the next school year. year.TEN MONTHS FOU IlIGII SCHOOL. The committee report , which was laid over at a prevloun meeting , recommending that the High school year bo extended to ten months , was adopted , Tlio question of closing the kindergartens and the first and second grades during one- half of each day canto up In a favorable re port from the rommltteo on teachers and ex aminations. The city council received a scoring In the report on account ot Its al leged failure to furnish the funds necessary to properly run the schools , Joljnson declared that It was unfair to discriminate against the pupils of any par ticular grade. Ho had Just as much right to a lull day's school for his children , who were In the second grade , as his neigh bor hnd for hln , who were In the third grade , IMiuirda thqught that the child's first years ot school were the most Important , and that It was proposed to cut off on the wrong end of the curriculum , Lunt said he had heard a seed many measure : , of economy discussed , and In every case llii'y were at the expense of the children. Ho was getting tired ot this , and dcclaied that It the report was adopted he would bring In a resolution to cut the salary of every employe of the board. Tukey stated that a large part of the work In these grades was nature worU and similar extra * which the children would still have an opportunity to learn when.they got Into the higher grades , He referred to the finan cial condition ol the board as making bome radical economy Imperative. The proposed action meant a savingof $25,000 , and H was at once the moit sensible and effective meas ure ot economy that had been proposed , Superintendent Pcarse explained that the proposed plan would give the children two and a halt hours of school Instead ot three and a half hours. They wpuld get the same Instruction i.i the essential branches , but come ot tbo special work would ba dropped. Ho thought the effect would be dltastroui It It was continued for any number ot years , but , the Injury might not bo eerloua If the plan wai adopted for a single year.

Councilman Kcnnard was at the couri house yesterday conferring with the county commissioners regarding this niu' other matters. In a conversation , Mr. Ken- nard stated that ho had been making an ln\estimation Into the tax question during the past month and had discovered a great many points which ought to be considered by the assessors. "I can't eay that I have discovered any thing that is particularly new , " said Mr Kennard , "but I have learned enough to satisfy mo that the difficulties which now beset us would bo almost entirely removed It the as sessors would mako-a just and equitable re turn. Every one knows that realty values arc not equitably distributed. I3ut few people real ize the outrageous manner In which personal taxes are levied against the small house holder , while the owners of luxurious 'houso ' furnishings and the- largo corporations prac tically escape all'taxation. "Take some of the large corporations , for Instance. They arc stocked and bonded for nctody knows how many millions and they make n return for taxation of a few paltry thousands. There Is the water works com pany as a fair Illustration of how this scheme Is worked. I learn , from what I re gard as very good authority , that the Ameri can Water Works company Is stocked and bended for $10,000,000 , and I know that It .receives from the city of Omaha each year hydrant rental amountln'g to $85,000 , to say nothing of the enormous Income It receives from private consumers In this county , and yet It appears on the tax roll at the valua tion of $63,350. . , "Take the national banks as another Illus tration. Thcso banks have an understanding among themselves nnd I am Informed by competent authority that they refuse to make any return for taxation until It Is agreed by the county commissioners that the return of moneys , credl's , etc. , made by coch bank shall be divided by six and the rcFult of this process entered as the amount on which the bank Is to pay taxes. Why the figure six Is selected as the divisor no one seems to know. "As chairman of the committee appointed by the city council to take up this ques tion of taxation , " continued Mr. Kennard , "I sent to Herman Kountze an Invitation for his committee of reform advocates to meet with our committee to consult to gether for the purpose of devising some means of 'reform' In the tax rolls. This In vitation was sent about three weeks ago , but I have heard nothing from Mr. Kountzc or any other of his committee. "Our committee will bs present al the meeting of the assessors tomorrow , and we nlll endeavor to present a few facts In a way that will make some impression on the minds of the assessors , but I suppose the tax shirkers will use on argument that will have a great deal more weight when the assessors come around with tbelr blanks. " GIiAIlYS HUSH KEEPS HER IHIOMISC. StnrtH III to AboIlHli I lie Mnex of the liurnt UlMtrlct. Gladys Bush , the woman of the town who has been arrested so many times of late , has set about the work of fulfilling her promise that she would make It warm for some one In' case that she was convicted. She was convicted last Saturday , and she Jias sworn to Informations charging fourteen landladies In the burnt district with' being keepers of houses of 111 fame , The parties charged are : Nellie King , Minnie Falr- chllds. Olive Branch , Jeanette Allen , Sadie Jennings , Sadie Rush , Jettle Reynolds , May Coleman , Blanche Wilson , Blanche Burton , Blrdlo Mann , Mlna Boyd and Grace Walton , These are the proprietors of all the so-called "first-class" houses In the district. The Interesting part of the matter Is that the warrants have not been served , although the Informations had been filed and the warrants Issued last Sat urday afternooon. This procedure , however , will not balk Gladys Bush In her purpose. She has elated that If the warrants are not served she will begin a mandamus proceed ings to compel the service. "Wo do not Intend to ba fooled In this matter , " said her attorney yesterday. "My client was convicted last Saturday after noon. She has como to the conclusion that she was persecuted and she has determined to put an end to It. She therefore at once left the burnt district. But she docs not in tend to bo discriminated against by the police force and the fire and police commission. If she is driven cut of the district she In tends that every other lewd woman shall also bo driven out. Wo will try every legal means to bring this about. " Gladys But'h ' returned to this city some weeks ago. She had been virtually driven out last fall because she ran a housa In which robberies were of frequent occurrence. When she returned she stated that she Intended to have a housa that was "right" nnd In which no one should bo ribbed. SliS'lnformed the police of this. She had been In the city but a few days when her house was pulled and she and three Inmates wreo arrested. The four were released on bonds , but within a few days Gladys was arrested again. This con tinued until she had been placed under ar- rott five times. All the causs were tried Eioveral days ago , but the final arguments occurred last Saturday afternoon , when ( lie court fined each of the three Inmates $5 and costs mid Gladys Bush $10 and costo on each cf the five cases .that had been brought agalnft her , charging her with being a keeper of a touro of prostitution , Before the casts cama to trial , the woman appealed to the Beard of Fire and Police Commissioners , alleging that she was being persecuted. Her former record was against her , despite her assurances that she In tended , tp run an orderly house , and the board Instructed the police to pull her house whenever they caw fit. Thereupon the woman determined that If she was found guilty she 'would compel the board to abolish the district , holding that It was Il legally allowed 'to exist. The Issuance of the warrants Is the first step In this direc tion. In explanation of the deity In scrying the warrant/9 , Chief of Police Slgwart said that. that there was no hurry In the matter. He stated that the police force would certainly serve th warrants whenever the members found ( line to'do so. _ There Is no better proof of the excellence of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup than that It la recommended by leading physicians , Court CnIlN for Tinliiy.

There wns a wcllijnoundcd suspicion afloat that the program ntrthe Woman's club meet ing yesterday afternoon was to bo an Inno vation , and the rooms , which arc usually crowded , vrcro packed ao suffocation. There was not oven' rtnndlng room. Plat forms , radiators niulirwlndow scats -were hastily pre-empted .ami . the crowd at the door wns almost Impenetrable. The business scsMonrwns short and of lit tle Interest. After It followed a recess longer than usual , giving a pleasant time for eo clablllty. Mrs. Strawn was called to the chair by the president , who stated that this meeting appeared In the manual as a general session and was not In charge of any depart ment ) and that Mrs. Strawn bad been ap pointed OR chairman of the committee to prepare this program. At this juncture the officers retired and seventeen women ascended the platform nnd took chnlrs reserved for them. Then every body undcretood and the house rang with cheers , for there was the Woman's club officers and prominent members , carefully and skillfully Impersonated. Miss Townc , In her mother's bonnet , with a little Judicious makeup , was an Inimitable mimic of the club's president , aided as she was by the very strong , although hitherto undiscovered resemblance. The secretary read a very clever report In Imitation of the rol secretary , and the mimic club took up the business of the hour , which was the subject ot building and ownIng - Ing a club house with suitable halls nnd apartments for the club's use. This rathe ? vital subject lias been considerably discussed In the real club anil many of the pros and cons arc understood. After resolving Itself Into a committee of the whole with "tho parliamentarian" In the chair the debate began In real earnest. The chair recognized speakers by their pro gram titles as "Tho Woman , Who Objects , " "Tho Woman with Something on Her Heart , " etc. In almost every Instance the audience recognized the familiar speakers at n glance and responded to every new exhibition ot a familiar mannerism or expression. The perfection of the representation In. a number of cases was truly remarkable and Mrs. Ford , Mrs. Peattle , Mrs. Tracy , Mrs. Townc and Mrs. And re us had they not been on the Insldo of the Joke , would have been exposed to the predicament of the llttlo old woman of nursery fume , who questions "If I Bo Not I , Who Be I ? " and la forced at last to the test. "If I Bo as I Think I Bo , I've a Little Dog at Homo and He'll Know Me. " But they were accomplices to the deed In part at least and dad supplied the very familiar cloaks and -bonnets that added so much to the makeup. Had the mimicry ceased with these clever trUkeups tuo representation would ) have been a success , but this wae but a smal part of the whole team. Every man nerism had been carefully studied and was enacted with great effect. The best ot a ! and representing certainly most time , care and thought were the speeches In the debate which were perfect parodies in most cases ot the Ideas and expressions with which the club Is familiar. Mrs. Wheeler's speech on "Art" was capital. Miss Cook upon "Letting Our Husbands Pav theBills" was recog nized as true. Miss Itathburn and Mis ? Somcro had carefully ttudlcd their originals while Miss Tukey-and Miss Tonne fairly outdid their originals In the characterlstlc- ncss of their speeches. Miss Byrn and Miss YimGelson tshanod , as they do so often , glimpses " .of something very like genius In the skill with which they carrlcc out Ihe'Ir very difficult roles to the end. The utmost good nature and good feeling prevailed through this little burlesque , nl the close of which Mrs. Andrews arose to move a vote of thanks to the young women "who have so ablyircprescnted us an others see us. " The vote ) carried without a do- ! sentlng voice. The debate was Interspersed by delightful music. Three selections by the Lorclo quartet , Miss Lillian Terry ; Mrs. D. T. Campbell , Miss Maude Oakley , Mrs. . A. G. Edwards and a' solo' ' and encore by Mr. T. J. Kelly. _ 4 Do Not Do. Tills.
