Wednesday was Children's day at the ex position and the only thing to mar the pleasure of the day was the rain that came up and cent the llttlo folks scurrying for shc/ler. Otherwise it was a cool day and Just the sort to please the juveniles , who came out In largo numbers. They brought their luncheons with them lu baskets and spent the day In the shade , and took In the programs arranged for their entertainment. It wan by far this largest daytime crowd that , ban been out since the opening day. Much Interest had been awakened in the water j Bports and they proved to bo a big drawing J card. The \\oat end of the Lagoon had been , not apart for the entertainment , and the ] Plaza in front of the Government building | was crowded early In the afternoon with the i sightseers. i Bcllstedt'a band gave a concert In the J Auditorium , which was well attended. The band was given such Insistent and hearty encores that It was compelled to almost double Ita program. At 4 o'clock the Indian band took up its land in front of the Government building and gave several spirited marches. The next thing was a fang procession of red men In [ their full uniform of paint and feathers. They made n fierce-looking array as they J marched In , Soon the sound of the tom-tom ' was heard and the peculiar cry that denotes ( that the Uanco Is to begin sounded shrilly , - nnd then the Indians began tlu-ir war dance. j It was a grotesque , but must novel and In teresting eight , and was as much enjoyed as anything on the program. The first swimming race was for juveniles of all agos. They sputtered and splashed tor fifty yards , amidst the shouts nnd plaud its of the thousands of children present. J. T. Carum won the race , with Harry Cabins second. Thcro were twelve entries. Tbo nexit race was an exciting one , it bolnc a 100-yard dash. Three of the con testants had just arrived from Hawaii , on their way cast to enter college. Ono of thorn Is the son of Senator Henry Water- house , and the other two nro sons of promi nent Hawaiian families. The thrco Hawalt- / nns and a Turk comprised the entries for f tha r.aco. Harold Dlllingham came out \ ahead , In a flno ehowlnc of spco daud on- duranco. Albert Watcrhouso was second ; Michael Stirsock. the Turk , third , and Har old Rice fourth. The Hawallans said they elmply went Into the race for a lark , having no Idea that they would win anything. They refused to take any money prizes , but wcro ' willing to have a medal of some sort as a souvenir of the race. Dlllingham Is on his way to enter Cornell collceo , and the other two -will EO to Princeton. The 150-yard dash was won by Captain Bllllo Johnson. A native .Hawaiian . , however - over , showed him a close second , and It was thought all along 'that the Kanaka would win the raco. Miss Margaret Johnson gave an exhibition of swimming during the after noon that von for her a creat deal of ap plause. She was tied In a sack and with welrhts at her head and feet was thrown Into the Lacoon. In a few minutes she came to the top smiling and triumphant. Charlie Johnson did some high diving and Fomo acrobatic work In nnd out of the water. Captain Sorcho exemplified deep sea diving in his armor. The whole whole pro- grairi-scemcd lo.Dloaac creatly. * * In the evonlne another most successful concert was given bv Bcllstedt's band. There was a good display of fireworks on the plaza , and the day came to a close with the usual illumination and serpentine dance on the Lagoon. lIISTl.\a > lbIlKU HAWAUAXS IIBHI3. 1'nrty from Honolulu VM | < M ttie Kxpo- NlllOII.

' The proposed Investigation Into Mayor Kneor's j conduct of the chief executive's of- flee Btlll continues to bo ono of the prln- clpal topics of conversation. Mayor Knsor does not hesitate to talk about the affair , while on the other hand those Interested lu bringing about the impeachment pro ceedings are saying nothing. The mayor still insists that ho will not resign and said yesterday that "when thcuo fellows got through Investigating mo I will have a llttlo j Investigation of my own. " When otkod to explain , the mayor asserted Uiat when the city council concludes its pro posed Investigation of his actions ho pro poses to ECO that the conduct of the council Is Investigated and the proceedings given n much publicity aa his alleged misconduct has been given. During the conversation the mayor's mind reverted to the ttmo when Ed Johnston WBB mayor nnd In company with Kll II. Doud , then city attorney , operated a gam bling house , which The Omaha Bee ran to earth In January , 1S93 , and exposed. An In vestigation was demanded by Johnston and the evidence token was printed in one of the local papers at a cost to the taxpayers of $500. "This proponed investigation , " snld the mayor , "which I court , will not cost the citizens of South Omaha a cent , for if ac quitted of the charges of alleged misconduct I will not sign warrants for the printing of the evidence , but If found guilty I promise to pay the cost of printing the evidence out of my own pocket. " Mayor Ensor stated further that ho htid a half dozen men at work looking up' evidence against cortmln members of the council who nro desirous of ousting him and ho pro poses to have at least 100 witnesses pres ent to testify when the case comes to trial , if It ever docs. The Sunday saloon opening question will bo explained and the matter of ralslnc $3COO will "be given full swing and the story told from beginning to end. Mayor Bnsor asserted that ho Intended ex- tandlng an Invitation to all citizens to bo present at the meeting of the council next 'Monday ' night In order to hear the state ment made by him at that time. In this statement the mayor proposes to review the history of hlo administration , commencing at the time ho was first suggested as a candidate and gradually leading up to the present time. Ho said that In this state ment ho might hit some of the members of the council a miniber of hard raps , but ho could not help It ; the council had com menced tha fight and he proposed to see It through to n finish. Councilman Ed Johnston is supposed to be managing the fight against Ensor , but ho positively declines to say anything for publication or In any manner give out his plans. All that Johnston will say Is : "Wo have got htm dead to rights. " Evidence against his honor Is being collected by the council to prove misfeasance and malfeas ance in olllco and according to reports the council will put up as warm a fight as the mayor does. It was rumored yesterday that persons high In authority In the democratic camp were beseeching the mayor to let up and qulotly resign for the good of the party. In connection with this request the mayor waa urged to visit the office of ono of the principals In the fight against him for the purpose of having a talk. This the mayor refused to do , as he claimed that the mi nority faction started the fight and must now sco It through to a finish. One member of the council said yesterday that the Investigation would no doubt prove a long , tedious affair. In his opinion it would take nightly sittings for two weeks to complete the taking of all the testimony which the members expected to offer. If it takes two weeks to Investigate the mayor It will take about the same length of time to look Into the charges to be preferred by the mayor against certain members of the council. In any event the dirty linen of the democrats will no doubt bo thoroughly aired unless something intervenes to pre vent the going on of the proposed Investi gation. Sellout lloaril MntlprK. The resignation of Miss Helen Sceloy as assistant principal of the High school seems to .bo generally regretted by patrons of the school. As a rule the pupils admire and re spect Miss Seeley and under her direction the High school flourished. It Is consid ered by many that the good of the schools Is 'boing ' sacrificed by the combine for the purpose of punishing John Pltz Roberts. Scarcely any one denies that Iloberts has made himself officious and undertaken the task of running the entire school system Just because he was elected president of the body , but In this case the ci.re seems to he worse than the disease itself. A number of the members of the board met and decided that Iloberts would hnvo to bo disciplined and they entered into a combine to punlrfi tha president , the cost to the pupils not be ing considered. The first step taken under the new com bine was to elect J. A. Beck principal of ho High school. This was a body blow to Ilob erts and ho did not recover from the shock for a week. But now comes Mips Seeloy's resignation as assistant principal and the question Is , will the combine still hold on to Beck and lose a teacher who lb well liked and in every way competent , or will It see the error of Its wayo nnd select an outside man fa * principal and thus stop the light. Beck Is not agreeable to Superintendent Wolfe and the latter does not hesitate to declare that ho does not want to be hold responsible for the results in the High school under the circumstances. Feeling Is so strong against 1'rcsldent Roberts that It was suggested to the mem bers that a reorganization be affected and Roberts deposed from his position as presi dent. An attorney was employed to look Into the matter , but It appears from his report - port that under the exHting school laws the president cannot be ousted. Ho was elected for a year and according to the rules and regulations must bervo out his term. If a majority vote would oust Roberts he would not , If reports are true , hold his position a minute beyond the time necessary for a quorum of the board to assemble. Rumor has It that Prof. Beck will now resign as principal of the High school , but when asked fibout the matter yesterday afternoon Mr. Beck said ho did not contemplate any such thing. Matters are not going to suit Su perintendent Wolfe nnd It Is nlwa rumored that ho Is contemplating sending In his resignation , Hniiiiiioiiil'n lliiMi- Hall Clitli.

Bates , the man who opened up an odlco in South Omaha for the announced purpose of conducting a cattle business , and who was arrested thrco days later on a charge of obtaining money under falsa pre tenses , "was given a preliminary hearing in Justice Foster's court Wednesday after noon , two months after the commission of the alleged crime. The testimony was all In and arguments on the motion of the de fendant's attorneys to dismiss the case for lack of evidence to convict had been finished by C o'clock. Justice Foster then said that he desired time in which to study the case. Ho will give his decision at 10 o'clock this morning. The complaining witness , T. 13. McPherson - son , cashier of the Union Stock Yards Na tional bank , was the principal witness. Ho described the two checks , one for $1,000 and ono for $10,000 , which Rates had Bent to the bank by his bookkeeper and had placed to his credit. The drafts were drann on Wil son Sons & Co. , Baltimore , and were signed by Bates as manager of the same firm In South Omaha. The bank took these , placed them to Bates' credit , and sent them to New York for collection. Neither of them was paid , "but " both wore returned after having gone to protest. Witness related a conversation he had had with the defendant before the drafts had been sent to the bank , in which the latter had said that Wilson Sons & Co. would cash any drafts that he might draw. Ho had said that the firm , was a large cattle- buying house in Liverpool and had a branch in Baltimore. After his arrest , witness tes tified , Bates had said that the firm did not have a branch , but had an agent in Bal timore , J. Oilman , who would have pro tected the drafts bad not he , Bates , been arrested. Mcl'herson testified that ho had learned fhore was a Oilman In Baltimore In the cattle business , who was well known and responsible. He did not know whether ho had communicated with the right Gilman - man or not when ho received an answer un favorable to Bates. This was a question raised by Batoa immediately upon his ar rest. rest.Tho The details of the opening of an office , the renting of rooms , purchase of furniture and hiring of a bookkeeper , stenographer and expert cattle buyer , as well as the sub sequent purchase of Bates' cattle man of $6,000 worth of cattle for shipment to the Bates' credit had never been touched , and testified that $4,221 of the $11,000 placed to BaBtcs' credit had never been touched , and more than $0.000 of It was represented by the cattle , which Bates never really got po ; > sesslon of , The money actually taken by Bates for his own use was $520. Witness eald the bank might have protected Itself "by " forwarding the bills of lading with the drafts , but hud not done so. When the testimony was all In , Attorney Battln , for the accused , moved to dismiss the complaint. He argued that the intent to defraud the bank had not been shown , but that the transactions had all come up In the regular course of business , and that Bates would have proved all of them In good faith had ho not been arrested. As sistant County Attorney Dunn , for the state , contended that the protest of the drafts nnd the repudlalon of Bates by the man Oilman in Baltimore , and the perversion of $500 by Bates to his own use , proved his guilt.

Honeel then went over the turnstile without a moment's hesitation. A loud alarm was net up and guards were called. They proposed at first to take the constable to the olllce of the captain of the guards , but ho refused to go thcro and Insisted upon being taken Im mediately to the president's ofllce.
