SACRIFICED FOR POLITICS
Institute for the Deaf and Dumb Still Unable
to Beceive Pupils.
SITUATION AROUSES MUCH INDIGNATION
Too llnny In Volition to
Open the School on Time Other
ISvldencc of Urom
Neglect.
Patrons of the State Institute for the Deaf
nro very Indignant on account of the fact
that , although It Is now nearly a month
nfter the date on which the school was to
have been opened for the jcar , its doors MO
still closed and there Is no assurance whoa
the unfortunate children presumed to benefit
by Its Instruction will bo able to rcaumo
thctr attendance. When the echool closed
for the summer vacation Superintendent
Daw co awnircd the pupils that It would bo
opened September 1. On that date the man
agement was not ready to begin operations
and , nn far as can bo ascertained , It la no
nearer ready now than It was a month ago.
In the meantime the parents of the pupils
nnd taxpayers who nro familiar with the
affairs of the Institution nro denouncing In
unmeasured terms the mismanagement that
Is alleged to bo responsible for this unfor
tunate situation.
U Is well known that Superintendent
Dawca and bin subordinates have been so
busy In political matters that they have no-
ttlcotcd to give the Institution the time that
Us Interests demand. A great deal of his
time haa been spent away from the Institute
altogether while ho haa been looking after tbo
political fences of the state administration.
The condition of affairs ha * become so no
torious that oven the populist county con
vonllon , which was composed of delegates
representing Dawcn' political faith , ustsortcd
itself In a scries of vigorous resolutions In
which his conduct was denounced and a com
mittee appointed to Invcsllgato the alleged
mlfcmanngcmont that has Ird to the present
situation.
That the committee will find abundant ma
terial for Investigation if it tnkca bold o
the matter In earnest Is evident from the
statements of numerous persons who have
been in a position to know the facts. Ac
cording to their statements the entire con
nection of Superintendent Dawcs with the
Institution has been a spectacle of Incompo-
tency that has at times amounted to abso
lute stupidity. There has been nn entire
absence of discipline that has resulted In
the severe Injury of several pupils and In
the death of others. The demands of politi
cal Interests have filled the places of com
petent teachers with pocplo whoso Incompe
tence was as apparent as that of the super
intendent , and the chaotic condition into
which the affairs of the institute wore
thrown , together with continued mismanage
ment , induced the few good teachers who
were loft to throw up their positions. Since
then many of the parents have removed
their children from the school on the ground
that they were receiving no benellt and were
in constant danger of personal Injury on ac
count of tbo lack of discipline.
Superintendent Dawea was appointed by
Governor Holcomb , who < made a place for
him by retiring Prof. Qlllesple , who had
been In charge of the Institution for many
years , and -who had ibullt It up to n point
vvhero it was recognized oa one of the best
schools of the kind In the west. Dawes
was formerly a prohibitionist , but became n
populist after that party got into power
in Nebraska. Ho was at one time a teacher
of typewriting In the Institute for the I'llnd '
at Nebraska City , tout it is understood that
ho was dismissed on account of his Inter
ference with the discipline of the establish
ment.
Some of the most serious results that have
followed the appointment nro alleged to be
duo to hla absolute Inability to maintain
discipline In the echool. Soon after his ap
pointment Arthur Marshall , n 9-year-old
pupil from York , was accidentally killed by
n swinging capstan bar attached to n house-
moving outfit outside the grounds , where the
boy -was permitted to roam and meet his
death.
Some tlmo after Walter Dolohay , ix deaf
nnd dumb boy from Blue Hill , was killed
while coasting on a hill north of the Insti
tute. Ills caretaker said that he did not
know where the boy -nas at the tlmo and
that It was Impossible to keep the boys In
hand under Da-wes' peculiar methods of
discipline.
One of the most roprohenslblo incidents
that have occurred during the popocrntlo
supcrlntondency wns the brutal beating of
Andrew Parks , a 13-year-old colored boy ,
whoso parents Hvo at 919 North Twentieth
street. A number of the big boja tied his
hands together and then
beat him with a
pleco of garden hose until hoaa Insensible.
Ho was laid up In the hospital for a week
nnd his parents then sent him back to the
echool on the assurance of Dawes that
further outrage would bo prevented. Dawes
explained at the tlmo that ho waa In Lincoln
when the beating was administered and
could not bo held responsible. The boy had
boon back nt the school but a ahort time ,
however , when the same bo > 8 puahed him
against a steam pipe and held him there un
til the flesh on his legs waa horribly burned.
Hls parenta were still
unable to secure any
Mtlafactlon and , as far as known , the per-
potmtom of the outrage were never called
to account.
Another colored pupil was subjected to al
most equally outrageous treatment. This
was the daughter of Henry Coombs , who
Jhcs on the bottoms near eleventh and
Nicholas streets. She was abused and
beaten by some of the rough pupIU and this
was repented without interference until Mr.
Coombs waa compelled to remove her from
the school.
Stories of Dawca' Inability to direct the
teaching of the deaf place him In a ridiculous
Cross-Examination
Will Only Strengthen the Testimony
of Omaha Citizens ,
The testimony which follows will stand
the test of closest Investigation , Cross-ex
amination of such evidence will strengthen
U. Proof of this nature Is plentiful In
Omaha and the most skeptical can hardly
doubt the claims made for "The Little
Conqueror" when placed face to face with
the public utterances of friends , neighbors
nnd local citizens. Read the experience

light. HRim conceded nt the outset that
he did not c\en know the sign language and
was In no way equipped for the position.
The statement of Mre. V , D. Lilly , published
In The Bee Friday , Is a fair sample of the
opinion that Instructors acquired of Dawcs.
Among the cmptora who left on account
ot his mismanagement were E. ft. Dunmlre ,
Martha Duntnlro and Minnie Hutchreon ,
Lincoln ! Hannah Engstrom , Bhlkley ; Oscar
Oarmlro , Qrand Island ; Will Marsh , Teka-
mah ; Maude Jenkins , Sioux City ; Nora John-

Crawford , Anna Harmon , T. F. Masoloy , 0.
W. Medlock and J. M. Landon , Omaha.
C. H , Mullln an Omaha commission mer
chant , Is another patron who was compelled
to r no\o his boy from the Institution. Ho
tent the boy to the Institute last January.
Ho went out there some tlmo after and
found the boy sitting In a corner without
attention and crying. Ho had been given
no books , no desk and apparently no atten
tion whatever. All the boj's clothes except
those ho had on had been stolen and even
hla overshoes and bat were mtsatng. When
Dnwes was appealed to ho did not seem to
take any Interest In the matter and ha
merely explained that ho hud no desk or
books to glvo him. This Is merely a sample
of numerous similar cases In which parents
have been compelled to remove their chil
dren on noo\mt of the manner In which
they were neglected nnd mistreated.
The popocratlc superintendent has In
curred additional censure on account of his
action In turning down Nebraska employes
and teachers In favor of Imported assistants
from other states and by hla persistent employment
ploymont of scab labor. One of his first
official acts was to employ two teachers and
live employes from outside , and this number
has been Increased by more recent Importa
tions. In addition to this Trustee Cardwell
brought In a relative from Kansas a little
over a year ago and Dawcs gave her a place
us teacher. Another friend of the Cardwell
family was given the position of assistant
kindergarten teacher , and this year the
nomination of the head kindergarten
teacher , Mrs. Emma Crone ot Ulysses , Neb. ,
was turned down In order that the favorite
of the Cardwell family could bo promoted
to her place. Mrs. Crone had taught In the
school two years and was considered effi
cient.
When the legislative committee visited the
Institution to eoo what was needed in the
way of interior Improvements they were
shown through the dormitories and attention
was called to the meager supply of bedding
and furnlturo. An appropriation of $1,200
was subsequently made to remedy this de
ficiency and It Is now charged that , instead
of spending tbo money aa intended by the
legislature , Dawes blew It In on handsome
furnishings for the rooms in the front of the
building occupied by himself and which the
pupils seldom see. Nearly 300 yards of
fancy \elvot carpet were purchased and put
down In the front rooms , and handsome cur
tains and draperies were also Included In
the results of the appropriation. The rooms
wore painted and decorated with funds sup
posed to be used for the benefit of the pu
pils , and all this work was done by non
union labor. It Is charged that nearly all
the repairs that have been made around the
various buildings since Dawes became super
intendent have been accomplished with non
union labor and this is one ot the main
reasons why the management is being bit
terly denounced by the rank and fllo of his
own party. Even now all carpenter work
on the new school building has been stopped
on account of the employment of non-union
labor. The building has been completed up
to the second floor and no one knows when
the construction will bo resumed.
FAIL TO BREAKUP MEETING
_
I'opocrnt * Try In Vain to Stop Loyal
Iloheiulan Ilepnbllciiun from
Organizing.
An effort on behalf of the popocratlc
managers to break up a meeting of the Bo
hemian republicans of the Second -nard Sun
day resulted In the discomfiture of the
conspirators. The Bohemian republicans of
tbo ward were lu session at Clmanek's
place , at Thirteenth and Williams streets ,
and about twenty persons , who pretended to
represent the revolt of the Second ward
voters , had called a meeting across the
street. While the republicans wore In sea-
elons the bolters sent Frank Urban over ,
who jumped on the platform and announced
himself as chairman of the meeting. It was
an obvious effort to break up the meeting ,
but it came to an Ignominious end. A num
ber of prominent Bohomlan-Amerlcans of
the -ward followed the Intruder to the plat
form and Insisted that ho desist from his
Interruption. They told him that he was
not a republican and should go to the meetIng -
Ing across the street , and ho was eventually
assisted out of tha hall.
The meeting then organized by selecting
Anton SadII as president and John Slmanek
secretary. Mr. Sadll said that It wns no sur
prise to him that there -worn people standIng -
Ing on the street corners trying to prevent
voters from going to a meeting -where they
would hear republican principles discussed.
During the meeting Frank J. Hromatko
discussed the sentiment that Interested per
sons -were trjlng to raise to turn the Bo
hemians from the republican ticket. Ho
said that four years ago Mr. Burcsh was a
democrat , and ho had recently asked the
renubllcan party to give him the best office
In the state. The proposition to make him
nominee for county treasurer ho had refused
on the advice of Mr. Roslcky. The speaker
declared that Mr. Bureah could not expect
to get the best ofllco In the elate when he
had been a republican only four years , and
that his disappointment was no reason why
the Bohemian republicans should go over to
the popocrats. This view was endorsed with
considerable'enthusiasm. The meeting con
tained over 300 voters , aa against less than
a score who attended the bolters' meeting
across tbo street.
T. W. Blackburn writes to The Bee to eny
that whllto gratctul to friends who have been
mentioning him as eligible to a republican
nomination far the school board , he Is un
willing to enter the race.

Last night the Board of Education met In
djournod session and awarded a number of
ontracts. Ooorgo L. Dare secured the work
f placing the plumbing , son or And gas con-
actions at the new echool building at Twen-
Icth and 0 streets at a coat of $2,666. The
contract for building < he sewer at llrown
'ark Bchool to connect with the tnaln sewer
f the city on Railroad avcnuo was let to
) are for $2,050. George Parks carried off
ho plum by Bccurlng the contract for the
team boating at the now school house. His
> ld was $5,847 and It was itbo lowest of all
ho bidders. Parka & Co agree to put In
rst-claes work clear through and the rcpu-
atlon of tills firm guarantee the earring
out of the contract.
George B. Shornood applied for the poal-
Ion of general repairman and Superintendent
Volte recommended that such a place bo
created , but the board failed to take any
action. The Oliver Typewriter company has
ailed so far to supp1 > desks needed nnd a
resolution wan adopted directing the eecro-
ary to sco that the agreement was com
piled with.
Joseph Sejkora was appointed asstetant
anltor nt the IJrown Park school at a salatj
