THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY , MARCH 15 , 1898. CUARDS FOR THE GROUNDS Acolhcr Matter That is Forcing Itself Forward Now , KIRKENDALL MIGHT ENLIST AN ARMY Tlintinntiilii of ! Apilcntlon ] ! from All Sort * nnil Condition * of Men for I'onlllonn on Kxponltlon i'ollce Force , The question of guards for the exposition in 'becoming a live Issue and Is causing Man ager Klrkcndall all kinds ot trouble. The arrangement of a plan for guards and their appointment la a function of the Department of Buildings and Grounds , and this depart ment liao been made the target for nppll cants from every nook and corner of this broad land. If there Is a square mile ot territory within the couflneo of the United States which has not contributed an aspir ant for a petition In the Transmlsalslppl guards It Is beoiuso the spot Is uninhabited. ' Manager Klrkcndall has thousands ot ap plications from every conceivable class ot people. A number are from army officers of the junior grades who are anxious to take charge of the force. Others are from civilian * who have occupied positions os of ficers of the guard at other expositions and who are anxious to continue In the business. Others , again , are from men who are Imbued with the Idea that they were born to com mand and they wont to practice upon the rank and fllo of the exposition forces. Thcso latter usually have some great echo mo to suggest and they estimate their monthly sal- cry up In the hundred. ? . Applications from all of tlicso Aourcco have been pouring In ' "or 'the last six months at the raw of forty ) r fifty per day , and a opeclal Illo ease .has < Seen constructed for filing them away. The applications for positions In the ranks of the guards are received by the thousands. A largo proportion of them are from men who have served In the same capacity in former expositions and they seem to like the business. Hundreds of applications have been received from soldiers In the regular army. Some of them say their time of en listment will expire some time before Juno 1 , and otheis My they can get leave ot ab sunco during the exposition. Large ( numbers have also been received from men holding positions as gnirds In penitentiaries. These ir.cn argue that their experience makes them familiar with criminals nnd , hence , they would bo able to render valuable service. COLLEGE BOYS ARK ANXIOUS. By far the largest proportion of tho.appll cations , however , come from young men where ro attending college In various parts of the country. These men are anxious to repeat the experience of many of their follows at the World's fair and rub up against the world while absorbing Information In largo - \ quantities by this contact and by what may be seen about the exposition grounds. The Item of salary cuts very little figure with this class of applicants , few of them making any mention of the feature which seems up permost In the rnlnds of mcst of the other applicants. When the question of salary Is touched upon by the college men , however , the figures quoted are Invariably low , In come Instances reaching the sum of $ lf > per month. Out of this sum they agree to pro- vldu such uniform as may be required and board themselves. An application has been received from the battalion of cadets at the University of Ne braska , which contemplates furnishing us many guards as may be required. This Is a jiot project of Chancellor MacLean's , who Is especially anxious to have his "boys" given this opportunity for acquiring experience with the world and Information at the same * lmo. Ho has appeared before the executive commlttco to urge that the guards bo se lected from among the cadets , urging OB rea- ons for such action that the bojs represent the entire middle west , there being students from nearly every portion tf Nebraska and the adjoining states , and ho also argues that the complete discipline of the cadets and their neat uniforms would make them most desirable In every respect , while their famil iarity with the usages of pollto society would enable them to act as guides and dispensers of Information In a manner which would re flect credit upon the exposition management. Manager Klrkendall has taken all these applications and arguments under considera tion , and has been revolving In his mind a plan for settling the matter , but he says he has not yet reached a point where ho is prepared to make any announcement of what he will do , although ho will take deci sive action within a short time. He will recommend the employment of about sev enty-five men at first , and this force may liavo to be doubled as the crowds Increase. The guards will bo quartered on the grounds In a portion ot the Service building , to bo erected on Twentieth street , Just north of the Administration arch , and will be required to bo on the grounds at all times. Their tours of duty will be arranged In convenient shifts , but the entire force will be available at any time. The guards will bo required to do police duty and act as guides In giving out Information and showing visitors about the grounds. MISSUUHI DISPLAY. apcrlutrnilent Pope Siiyn He Will "Want Lnrnr Space. E. B. Pope of 'St. Louis , state superin tendent of schools ot Missouri , is In the city as the guest ot Superintendent Pcnrse ot the Croatia schools. Ho visited exposition headquarters and the exposition grounds In company with Mr. Pearse , and was greatly Interested In looking at the epaco which lias been reserved for Missouri. When he learned that bis state had reserved about 000 feet In the Liberal Arts building for an educational exhibit Mr. Pope declared thai thla space must be Increased to at leas ! 2,000 feet , as he Intended to have on ex cellent educational display and could ro ! possibly confine It to 900 feet. He raid te would take this matter up with the Mis souri commission as soon as he reachet borne and have the apace Increased. Mr. Pope elated that the Missouri exhibit , in the educational line , would Include all lines ot work , but would bo especially strong la tfce kindergarten department. Ho eald the schools were making elaborate preparation * lor ttila occasion and would make a fine bowing. Congrrxn nnil Correspondents Coming. Ctngrckssman D. H.
