DEBATE ON THE MATTER IS LENGTHY Generni f15)rePINiOfl Of Opinion SIiows a SeiiItiCit .tgiiInt 1nkinjr lila Igiit Tariff LeNs 'rillin 1I1 ! flay .tII the 'riIUt. ' From now until the end of the exposi- Lion 25 CentS will purchase an admission to the grounds after 6 o'clock every Thursday - day night. Thta was decided on by the board of directors yesterday after a pro- traded discussion in which the sentiments ' expressed were largely In favor of a reduced - duced admission for at least one night In the week. An effort to'make a flat evening rate of 25 cents every night In the wed ; % as voted down , as was also a motion to make the Sunday admission 25 cents during the remainder of the exposition. The question of reduced admissions was raised by a petition signed by 5O exhibit- era .nd forwarded by the ConcessionaIres club. In which the board was requested to make a fiat evening half rate In order to promote the local attendance. Mr. Hitchcock moved that hereafter ( be rate should.be 25 cents after 7 o'clock every night. I Dr. Leo suggested that the hour should be changed to 6 o'clock , and after this had been accepted there was a general and ex- baustive discussion of the various ques. tions Involved. ( Mr. Lindsey declared that It would be a mistake to open the gates at half rates every ulghL lie was willing to favor a proposi- tlon to make that rate for one or two epeci- fled nights in each week , but the hitchcock J resolution was too radical. Mr. hitchcock declared ( bat if one or ' to nights were selected it would create confusion In the Public mind and might detract - tract from the attendance on the other nights. lie contended that a thorough test ; of the value of the concession could not be accured unless it as made to apply to all night admission ! . F : . t : . tiruce vigorously opposed the 23 cent proposition and quoted figures at length F from the rtcorda of edraissions to Justify his position. These indicate that on the Sun. days when the reduced r.ste bad been in ef- feet the gate receipts had been slightly do. creased , vbIle the recclpts hrou percentages ' on concesalotis were eudlclentiy increased to caset the difference. lie also quote.l flgu.res I en evening admisslona whim purport to t'how that the percentage of evening re- ceipta is no greater at 2 oents than on evenings when the full rate was charged This brought out the explanailuu that the figures gIven refer to the admls.slons alter oclock when the 25 ceilt ra's was in force. while those which he quoteU for otber day ! Irciuded the entire receipts after 3 ocloek In the afternoon. lbllIe. .tC * iiiil Iteccij. * . . Thomas Kilpatrick also i.roiured an ar- Tay of figures which in lila opinion con- elusively established the advisabilty of the reduced rate. For instance during the wceI beginning July 24 the receipts on Thursday : hen the low rate preaiied In the even- $ ng were hiIe the receipts on the other days ranged from $ l,734$0 to On Thursday the evening receipts amounted to $ SGO. thus disprovIng the assertica that the eventpg nile killed the dsyhlght ti. : tond.iuce since snore money was tak"n in exclusive of the evening admissions , that I wIt. ! rceIved altogether on any other dxi IP of the week , Mr. itosuwater declared that the bulk 01 the figures that had been presented to the directors were so completely juggled that they were valueless. Even the monthly reports - ports consisted of a mass of statistics that did not show anything. The figures are probably correct as the books go , but there has never been a report submitted that an Intelligent bookkeeper could understand. As a matter of fact , certain members of the executive cominitte dd not want the 23 cent rate to be a success. The fact is that on the 23 cent nights when the weather is favorable there are immense crowds of peo- pie on the grounds. As far as the 23 cent Sundays are concerned. they have never had a thorough trial. The first Sunday it was unbearably hot. and the next was too cold for a large attendance. Mr. Rosewater also called attention to the fact that the statements of receipts that were cited are misleading and delusive in that they purport to show the actual re- celpts from the gates and the concessions. As a matter of fact receipts that h4d been secured on account of new concession3 granted are included In these showings of daily percentages. lie was not prepared to vote for a 23 cent rate every day in the week. He favored it for Sundays and for one or to nights in the week. Vhatever action was taken should be decided on at once and made permanent for tile change of policy on this point bad caused much confusion on the part of the pubil and made enemies for the exposition. VnttIs' IteliNflhl for OilioNItiofl. President Wattles opposed a 25 : ent rate from start to finish. It would detrat from the dignity of the exposition. and have a tendency to bring the rough elemcnt of the city to the grounds in the evening. He alluded to the movement In its favor as due to the Influence of the concessionaires and declared that several of the directors were Interested in various concessions. herman Kounize opposed the resolution on financial principles. The exposition muet be just before it becomes liberal , and in his opinion Ii will be more likely to pay it3 debts if the admission is maintained at 30 cents. lie would vote for one 25 cent night in each week as a concession to the people who could not afford to pay 30 cents to visit the grounds. Mr. Rosewater replied to the statement of President Wattles relative to the interest of directors In concessions by remarking that. as far as ho knew , sir , Mctz was the only member who had a direct interest in a Concession and he voted against every proposition chat contemplated a reduced rate. lIe added that he bad as great an interest in seeing the debts of the exposition paid as any member of the board. But he I believed that the best way to accomplish this result is to throw the gates open for 25 cents on Sunday and on one evening dur. t log the week. As a matter of fact the peo. I pie do not come to the grounds Ia the even. lag to see the exhibits. Several of the most popular buildings are closed at 6 o'clock and it was seldom that 500 people can be found in the buildings after that hour. The debate continued at length and finally John C. 'barton moved as a substitute that the admission be fixed at 25 cents every Thursday nIght during August. Mr. Montgomery - gomery offered an amendment to the effect that it be tried every night for one week , but this was voted down by 20 to 11. On the suggestion of Mr. Rosewater , Mr. Wharton thea changed his motion * o make the Thurs. day night rate continue until the end of the exposliion and It was carried by 2 ! to 1. Dudley Smith moved that the same re- duetion be made on Sundays until the close of the exposition. but this was voted down alter conside'able dlcussio , i'lIb.r. Iii list1'rei. . Mr. flosewater then brought up the pasi questina and stated his position relative tc , the action taken by the board at is previoui I . meeting He said that the resohutios I t adopted by the board bad made it Impossibl S i REMEMBER HAYDEN BROTHERS SELL II' CHEAPER.

HAYDENBROS _ for him to continue to act as pass distrib- Utor. At that time be had given notice that he would not serve in that capacity any longer and he bad accordingly turned the matter over to President Wattles. At the end of two days at the urgent request of President Wattles and the executive tom- mittee he had resumed the task , but with the distinct understanding that unless the resolution was rescinded at this meeting he would decline to do the work any longer. The executive committee had formulated rules by which the issuance of passes were governed. But this board had taken it into its own hands to vote passes in opposition to these rules and after he bad declined to Issue them. The action of the directors would seem to convey the idea that they did not consider him competent to discharge the duties of the position and he was very will. ing to turn the work over to some one else. It was a roost disagreeable task at the best and not an occupation to be desired. Continuing. Mr. Rosewater called attention - tion to a statement of the number of passes of various kinds that bad been issued which had been promulgated by Manager Lindsey of the Department of Admissions. He de- dared that this statement displayed the same perversity of bookmaking that was shown in other things. It showed that 2,100 passes of series 11 had been issued to mem- hers of the executive committee. of which 650 were charged to him. The inference was that these passes had been given to him for his personal distrIbution. As a matter of tact , he had not used over thirty passes on his own account. when each member of the committee is entitled - titled to fifty. lie has no passes to give to his trinds , as other members of the corn- mittee are doing , but those that passed through h.s bands went to representatives of the press who were personally entitled to them. lie had himself paid time and again the admissions of friends who ex- petted him to favor thea with passes , but sthom he did not feel free to accommodate. Malt. ' , St iii Fiis&'l lied. 13y this thins it was 7 o'clock and a number - ber of the directors were anxious to adjourn. Mr. hitchcock moved that the Bureau of Admissions be directed to issue passes as required by the resolution passed at the last meeting. but Mr. Lindsey suggested that if this was done it would be necessary to take some immediate action to provide for handling the work that Mr Rosewater would no longer undertake. There is no one connected with the Department of Admis. sions who is capable of doing it and it 'iouid be necessary to employ some competent - tent newspaper man at a good salary. Mr.Vbarton remarked that it is evident that the board made a mistake in adopting the resolution in the first place , and during the discussion that followed It was discovered - ered that there was no quorum present. Consequently no action was possible and at the solicitation of the members Mr. Rosewater - water consented to handle the work until Monday afternoon. when the board wIll meet in adjourned session to take some definite action. .ttiiucflelit , The usual Saturday matinee will be given at the Trocadero this afternoon.

Rev. W. H. Van Antwerp gave a talk last night in Trinity cathedral on Omaha as It was thtrty.four years ago. In 1S4 Dr. Van Antwerp came to Omaha as the first rector of the Episcopal church and it was during his stay that the property where the cathedral - dral now stands was purchased. Before his talk was begun a prayer of thanksgiving was rendered to th Almighty for the restoration of peace and the cessation - tion of hostilities betwen Spain and the United States. Dr. Van Antwerp said : "In 1164 Omaha had a name and place in tha world , iinall : though it was , yet its people was the same strong and stalwart race of hard worers who made this beautiful city what ft is today. Since I came here I have been at- most in a daze. stupefied and bewildered with the magnificent spectacle of exposition and city which dispel my remembrances of the little town of thirty-four years ago. ScSetimes while wandering about among the fine stone edifices , looking at the busy industry of the metropolis. the Street railways - ways , inanufactories and commerce , I have wondered if I am not a second flip Van Win. kle awakening not after twenty years' slumber - ber , but thirty-four. Only Omaha of alt the world could have produced the great Trans- mississippi Exposition in time of war and uncertainty. "But the city's growth has surprised me more than the exposition for the fair is simply an outgrowth of the town. It iems almost as if a magic wand had been swept over the prairies and barren wastes and made a city where underbrush grew , where wild chicken and quail raised their ynulig in entire safety from the destroying hand of man. There were no railroads In Omaha t'hen I came. The UnIon Pacific was deliberating - liberating whether to make Omaha or Belie. vue its terminus. Travel consisted of the old stage coach or transportation in flat- bottomed boats up and dowa the Missouri. It took myscif and wife four days to come from St. Joseph to Omaha by the river. At night we tied to some overhanging tree and slept in peace while watchful guard was kept by the crew for Indians. "Not a root oL pavement was laid on the streets of Omaha. There were four grocery stores , two hardware stores and three dry goods siores. Some were run on the country - try glen of a department store and the owners tried to keep nearly everytbtng imaginable - aginable , but at prices which would astound the average housewife of today. I soon learned why they called ordinary ontharctte coal "black diamonds. " it was sold at $2G per ton. Butter brought es high as from 60 to SO cents a tIound and an ordinary coroner's jury would hesitate in holding an inquest over it at that. But there was plenty of beef anti tld chicken flew over our door yards and buffalo roamed around and deer were plentiful and In fact it was the hunter's paradise. "The population was about 3,000 end was scattered from tnth Street to Eighteenth betweca Cats and howard. in Council Bluffs was a grove In wblch the emigrants camped while waiting for the old ferry boat to paddle its way back and forth ocrosa the river , carrying only a wagon and team or a few people at a time- The camp fires of these people could b seen at nearly all times of the year. Among the ecatern set- tiers were many young college graduates with but little capital who slept in barns , worked bard and steady and who are now the wealthy men of Omaha. "At'er ' I bad been here a while a house consisting of two rooms and a kitchen , situated - ated on Dodge and Thirteenth streets. was purchased for toe at a cost of $ I.00.

These together made me feel like quite a land holder and my residence was considered something almost palatial in its grandeur. This was the first property owned by the church. During the same year the congre- gatiop purchased land on Farnam and Ninth streets and built a wooden meeting place , but fire soon destroyed the building and the land of the site of the present Trinity cathedral was purchased. " After this talk Dean Fair and several members of the congregation who knew Dr. Van Antwerp during his young manhood days in Omaha , spoke of the steadfast chris- tien character and work of the first rector and how he was beloved by all who knew him.

Burglars made nnunsuccessful attempt on Thursday night to enter the Byron Reed room at the Omaha Public library , which contains a most valuable collection of coins and manuscripts. The collection Is protected - tected by an adequate alarm system , but the burglars had not proceeded tar enough ith their work to set this in operation. It is supposed that the burglars concealed themselves In one of the library apartments until the building was closed for the night and the attendants had gone home. The Byron Reed room is secured by a heavy lock and the thieves were obliged to corn- municate with it from the lecture room overhead. They suspended two ropes from a window so that they swung against the glass of a corresponding window under- neath.
