Structure Mooting \Vnn llrhliul
Clonofl IJoorft ,
The Board of Education at n seernt ses
sion held yesterday afternoon In the office
vt President Sims finally settled the High
school site question by selecting as n com
promise the Street tract , which Imd been
offorcd for $5,000. The question of the f-
lectlon of nn architect was also detrmlnert ,
'tlio firm of Schocntgen & Cox of St. Louis
being fortunate enough to carry off the plum.
The mooting yesterday , contrary to the
announcement made at the session of the
board Monday night , was held behind closed
doors , and the public and representatives or
the press wore politely but none the las
firmly Informed that their presence was not
needed. This plan of secret executive ses-
Jilons la an Innovation In the proceedings of
thp Hoard of Education , all meetlngR hcrelo-
fern having been lield open , nt which the
citizens and representatives of the press were
always permitted to bo present.
It took nine formal ballots before the
Street site was declared the choice of the
board. On the ninth ballot Members Moor ,
Cooper , Henry nnd Hess csst their ballots
for this site , the other three members of the
board Sims , Stewart and Swnlna voting for
the Oakland slto , ns they had done on each
preceding ballot. The nine ballots In de
tail were ns follows :
First Hallot Glen avenue site , one rote ;
Oakland avenue site , three votes ; Street
tract , three voles.
Second Ballot Aylccworth property , one ;
Oakland avenue , three ; Street tract , three.
Third Hallot Aylesworth property , two ;
Oakland avenue , 'three ' ; Street tract , two.
Fourth Hallot Aylesworth property , one ,

Locution of the Site.
The property on which 'tho ' board decided
to erect the new High school building Is
owned by A. W. Street and wife , former
residents of the city , now Hying In Ormond ,
Fla. D. W. Otis of this city Is their agent
and through him the proposition to sell the
property to the school district was made.
The property lias a frontage on Third etreet
of 20C feet , on Dluff street of 20G feet
nnd on Fifth avenue of 21G fee : .
It comprises half n block 'which has
never been platted , and Is bounded on
the east by Third street , on the west by
Bluff street and on the north by Fifth ave-
uuo. If platted it would make eight ordi
nary city lots. There are no buildings on
It , and the conditions under which it was
offered to the board are that it ftmll be
graded at the expense of the owners. Mr.
Otis stated yesterday that It was proposed to
grade It down six feet , which-would require
the removal of about 10,000 yards of dirt.
The tract Is In a corner of the city where ,
there Is little or no population back of it
and on Fifth avenue in the one block from
Fourth street to Bluff the pupils attending
the High school will have to climb an as
cent of nearly sixty feet In 210 feet , which
Is as bad as the grade on High School nve-
nuo which the pupils at present have to
climb to reach the old High school build
ing. Directly east of the tract is the high
bluff , from which at present the Rock Is
land Railway company Is drawing dirt to '
fill Its yards with. The south half of the
block Is almost entirely vacant and unim
proved. The opposition made to the Oakland - ,
land avenue site was that It was too high , !
but the altitude of the Street tract Is con
siderably higher and far less convenient of
Although none of the members of the hoard'
wore Inclined 1o discuss the matter after' '
the meeting enough was learned to show ,
that the Street tract was selected aa a |
compromise between the Oakland avenue site
and the different sites In the Fourth ward.j
for the selection of ono of which the res
idents of that ward made such a strong
fight.
The site selected , unlike the Oakland avenue -
nuo property , will not afford any space '
for a campus , as the ontlro ground will be'
taken up with tbo building Itself , If the J
hoard erects such a structure as It at pros-1 I
ent has under contemplation. |
The prlco asked for ths Oakland nvcnuo' 1 ! '
property was $3,000 and from ono of the 1
members of the hoard It was learned that :
this cut a conslderabla figure In the final S
selection of the Street tract , as It was i
thought that the difference of $3,000 could ;
bo used to better advantage In the build-1
Ing nnd equipping It. ' I I
The announcement that Member Hess had '
voted for the Street tract created seine BUT-I
prlso , as he was considered to bo In favor
of the Oakland property.
President Simn declined to discuss tbol
matter , hut admitted ho was very much ij !
disappointed at the selection , as ho felt .I !
that the board had made choice which ,
would not bo satisfactory to the majority
of the people. Mr. Swnlno was not present
at the meeting , but was kept advised by
telephone as the balloting proceeded. Sec
retary HOBS voted by proxy for Mr. Swalne , | |
the vote being cast as stated before at every ! 1
ballot for the Oakland avenue site. I
A roll If < ( ( ChoNi-n , i
The selection of the firm of Schocntgeu' '
& Cox of St. Louis as tlio architects wan ,
arrived at on the third ballot. On the first
ballot Shoentgeu & Cox received 3 votes ; ! ,
John Uatensor of Omahh , 1 vote ; Wood .1
ward llroa. of this city , 2 votes ; Fisher < t
Lawrlo of Omaha , I vote. The second bal-j i
lot gave Fisher & I.nwrlo. S votes ; Schoent '
gen & Cox , 2 votes ; hatonser , 1 vote , and ' ! |
Woodward Ilros. . 1 vote. On the third bal-1
lot the full vote of the board was cast for' '

B. I' . Schoentgen of the firm of Schoent- .
gen ft Cox IB n son of John Schoentgen i
of this city nnd studied for tils profession ,
under sonic of the most noted architects s
and civil engineers In Germany nnd France. i
The selection of this firm as the architects ! '
for the new High school Is conditional on
the board being able to make a satisfactory '
contract with them. It is understood that' t
the board IIHB In mind , now that It has |
seen all the plans of the other architects
submitted , exactly what kind of a building ;
it requires nnd Messrs. Schoentgen & Cox ;
are to prepare plans accordingly.

Suit In 1'onnlit.
Another round In the famous Doylo-
Hums suit was fought In the district court
hero yesterday. In the action brought by
Doyle to try to enforce the collection of
his Judgment for $717,000 secured against
James F Hums , president of the Portland
Gold Mining company. John N. Baldwin , as i
attorney for Doyle , appeared and demanded |
default against the defendants , Burns and
other stockholders of the company. Doyle
In this suit applies for the appointment
of Ernest B. Hart , a banker of this city ,
as receiver of the company , also that the
charter of the company bo forfeited for
not complying with the state law governing
domestic corporations nnd that the Block
held by the defendants be made subject to
the judgment secured last November by
Doyle against Burns.
On the question of Jurisdiction raised by
Attorney L. W. Ross as friend of the court ,
the attorney for Doyle argued that In a
case of this kind where It had been shown
that personal prrvlce could not be had on
any of the authorized representatives of the j
corporation service by publication was suf
ficient. Evidence was Introduced to show
that an effort had been made to have per
sonal service , but no one could 'bo ' found
within the jurisdiction of the court. The
court raised the question that In the ab
sence of an affidavit personal service could
not ho had that service 'by ' publication
might bo Insufficient.
In response to questions from the court
the attorney for Doyle admitted that a re
ceiver could not be appointed with extra
territorial powers and that ho asked only
that a receiver bo appointed to take charge
of the property of the corporation which
ought to be In the state Us stock and
transfer books.
Judge Smith , before whom the application
was made , intimated that the company had
undoubtedly been careless in that it had
not complied with the laws of the state
governing domestic corporations by not
keeping Its books here , this being the prin
cipal ofllcc of the company. The court took
the application under advisement and an
nounced that he expected to hand down his
decision today. Judge Smith Intimated
that he would In nil likelihood grant tin
application for the appointment of a re
ceiver to take charge of the company's
property in this state , but that the receiver
would have no authority to take possession
of the company's mining property In Cole
rado.
