    THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATUEDAY , OCTOBER 12 , 1S97.
alary of $100 per month. The oxectitlvoi
commlttco declined to grant the request by i
refusing to take action , At that very time ,
Aiigunt 27 , Mr Tamm wa on the payroll at I
$ < per day and ho wan allowed $ ( ! 0 for fifteen
days In August , which would make his sal
ary tquar to about $112 per month , countlns
twenty-eight day for the month of August.
In Mr Tamm's flulary voucher ho was desig
nated 4iy Geraldlne as superintendent of con
struction , nd Mr. Gpraldliic must know that
Jio Is the superintendent of construction , and
twp men could not well keep the same posi
tion , at the same time.
On August 28 a contract was awarded to
John F. Daly for the construction of a sewer ,
the amount being $309 35. Mr. UJly bid t > re-
vie < j ly been employed as Intvcctor on the
ground t $ ! per day , whllo city Inspcctoin
lor the same work only receive $1 per day.
The contract tor this sewer was let without
plan * or specifications and no bond was
asked or given. After Ml. Daly had com
pleted the contract notice ot awa'dlng the
contract to him at the piles named was filed ,
with the city specifications for sewerage
pinned to the s-uno. Sluts Mr. Daly com
pleted the contract ho has been rc-employcd
by Mr , Geraldlno at $4 per day , under the
title of Inspector. During the week In Sep
tember In which Daly was pretending to act
afl Inspector ho wan raking up shavings nt
the bottom ot the lagoon , which work was
paid for by the exposition nnd was to bnvo
been done by the contractor under the speci
fications.
Soon after Mr. Geraldlno was appointed the
exposition made a contract with Mr. Ulrlch ,
nn eminent landscape architect , to lay out
the exposition tract and make ground plans
for the samo. Mr. Ulrlch came to Omaha and
prepared the plins , which were concurred In
by Mr. Geraldlno and the supervising archi
tects and approved by the board. It now
transpires that the ground plan of the 111 u IT
tract hnfl been entirely changed by Geraldlno
from the plan made by Ulrlch. This change
lion been made without the knowledge of the
manager of the Department of Buildings and
Grounds , and without conference with any
other member of the board , and without con
currence ot the board. In making this change
Mr. Gcraldlnc took it upon himself to employ
two men In his ofllco to make tbo now ground
plan for this tract. This arbitrary action Is
doubtless largely responsible for the vexing
delay In the preparation of sketches of the
ground plans.
plans.NEGLECT
NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Gross negligence of hi ) duties was chown
by Mr. Geraldlne in permitting the erection
ot a planing mill within a few rods of the
principal exposition buildings , when he could
and should have prevented It. The-oonstruc-
tlon ot such a structure adjacent to the ex-
posl'lcn buildings will endanger the buildings
and materially Increase the rate of Insurance
upon them , If they can be Insured at all
Inasmuch as Mr. Geraldlno has been negotiat
ing for months with thn rurflco that have
erected thlJ nlaninff mill ho could not have
bnnn-.iffnor.irlt of their Intentions , especially ,
nlso , as he had arranged to leave a gate close
to the new building.
During the reading of the document Man
ager Klrkcndall of the Dcpaitment of Build
ings au l Grounds shifted uneasily In his
seat nnd when the rending was completed
lia said ho would not pretend to contradict
sonic of the statements made therein , but
lie said there were some nt the statements
which were false and malicious nnd he asked
that Gornldlno beat once sent for and given
an opportunity to explain.
Other members of the committee objected
to remaining longer at that time and then
Mr. Klrkcndall Insisted that nothing should
be made public regarding the matter until
after Geraldlne had been heard Me-ssrs
Llndhoy , Reed and Rosewater opposed any
attempt to keep a matter secret which came
up In the regular course of business before
the committee. 5Ir. Llndsey remarked that
Gcraldlno'n actions had been the subject of
criticism In all parts of town and from all
classes of people for months , and the exec
utive committee had been severely criticised
for not taking action sooner. Ho opposed
any secrecy In the matter and said Geraldlne
should be given every opportunity to explain
but H was a matter In which the general
public Was Interested and there was no
necessity for secrecy.
It was finally ordered that Geraldlne
should bo fiunlshed with a copy of the reso
lution and attached statement nnd be given
an opportunity to appear before the com
mittee tonight. '
Before this matter was brought before the
commlttco an extended session was held at
which considerable routine business was
transacted.
WHAT THE WOMEN WANT.
The first thing to come before the com
mittee wan a communication from a special
qqmmlttco of the Lady Board of Man
agers appointed to recommend certain mat
ters In rcgaid to the artistic features of
the exposition. This committee consisted of
Mrs , Harford and Mrs. Kcysor , nnd they
recommended to the executive committee that
stops bo taken to secure for the decoration
of the exposition grounds works of art of
permanent material which would remain
after the expcfiltlon closes nnd bo perma
nent ornaments for some of the public parks.
The committee especially urged that nn ar
rangement bo entered Into with Cnptnln Kd-
vvard Kemys , the renowned sculptor of wild
animals and Indians , for work In permanent
material for tl.o decoration of the grounds
The woman's commlttco suggested statues
of animals. * and Indians , and especially an
Indian equestrian statue as being particu
larly appropriate for a western exposition.
The whole matter was referred to the De
partment of Buildings and Grounds ,
A letter from S. S. Bcrnin of Chit-ago , ar
chitect of the Manufacture } building , was
read. Mr. Bcman called the attention of the
committee to the fact that the plan for the
Manufactuics building provided for three
largo panels In the enhance dome. In which
H was deslsiiPd tp place thrco large paint
ings Illustrating the manufacturing indus
tries. Ho said these were as essential to the
completeness of the building as any other
part of It , and he urged that action should
bo taken at an early date to provide for these
cannings , lie tai'i nicy snoum uo uoiiu on
convan and icniovcd from the building after
the exposition clcsea. making valuable souve
nirs to bo placed In a museum for future
generations. In this connection Mr. ricmin
suggested an art'fit ' ot wldo reputation whose
services ho thought could bo secured foi this
work at merely nominal figure , but he
urncti the necessity of making early arrange
ment ! , as the work would requite several
monthj for execution. The matter was re-
feriod to the Department of Buildings and
Grounds for recommendation.
Manager Klrlcendalt reported that Smith .
Eastman were the lowest bidders on the staff
wo-k for the Agriculture building , their bid
being ? 12.7. > 3. He recommended that the
contract bo awarded to thrm H' recom

WHAT NEVADA WILL DO.
Colonel H. I ) . Maxsoa , the newly appointed
vlco president of the oxposltlca for Nevada ,
appeared before the committee and discussed
the part his fitato will talto In the expo
sition. Colonel Maxson explained that his
state had made no approprl tlon for making
a state exhibit , but oald he believed that
local pride was strong enough to bring about
a dl play of the resources of the state
tali would bo creditable and satisfactory.
Ho called attention to the fact that Ne
vada Is not by nature an exclusively mining
state , but has over 73,000,000 acres of land
suitable for farming. Ho said that If the
politicians ever let go their grip on the state
It would advance and tint Ihn people out
there lived in the hope that they would see
the day when this would como about. He
said there are now persons appointed In each
county to assist the vice president In col
lecting material for en exhibit and asstirci !
the committee that the state would make u
mineral exhibit that would bo second to
none at the exposition ,
After Colonel Maxson had withdrawn
Manager Bruce brought up the subject of the
condition of the mining exhibit In general ,
to which reference had been made at the
last meeting , when the statement was made
that the work of securing exhibits wi > s drag

considerably more than half of the space
In the Mines building has already been ap
plied for and that a number of states which
are known to bo making preparations for

application for space. In this connection
Manager Bruce referred to the suggestion
of Prof David R. Div , representative of the

the Mines building under the ccmtrol ot the
survey. Mr. Bruce said It was Impractl

BALTIMORE. Oct. 1. The Orioles had no
trouble In trouncing the Senators tdoay , al
though the Utter hit Hotter more freely than
the former lilt McJamcs. Several very pro
nounced errors upon the part of the visitors
did the trick , In splto ot the fact that the
homo team had a patchwork nine In the Held
and that the visitors were auxlous to win In
order to make their hold upon sixth place
more secure. O'Brien plavcd In Kcler's place
to allow that game little fielder to inn so a
sore finger and get ready for the "Tcmplo
Cup" games , and Qulnn officiated In place of
Hughey Jennings while that lightning short
stop took a trip homo to got ready for his
coming nuptials , which are booked to take
place at the end of the cup series. Catcher
"Hill" Clarke took Dovle's place at first to
glvo the regular man a rest and Bowermai
acted as backstop , In order to limber up a
bit In the event that ho should be needed In
Boston next week.
The Haltlmoieans took the lead in the first
Inning , going tj bat first , the run they got
being the outcome of a force lilt by Stciucl ,
who stole second and third , scoring when
Tuckc'r dropped Qulun's llttlo fly. Neither
silo got nnjtiling after that until the fifth ,
when the Orioles scored four on four balls
to Howerman , a scratch hit by McGraw , a
bad throw by Farrell , scoring Howerman ,
four balls to Kelly , a hit by Stciuel , scoring
McGravv , another by O'Brien bringing In
Kelly , four balls to Qulnn , filling the basts
and four more to Rel / fore ng Stonzel acr-ss
the plate , all after the first two man had
been imt out The visitors got two in the
seventh on Lea'iy'u single , Wrlglcv's single ,
McJames' lly out to left , scoring Leahy , Gett-
man's single , Stengel's frightful muff of De-
montrevllio's easy lly and Tarrell's bunt to
McGraw , scoring Wrlgley. Each side made
two runs after Dial , one a home urn by Slen-
