The tesslon yesterday morning was the first hold by the committee which was ap pointed nn .lanuary 1 to Investigate any charges of "bribery , corruption or undue In fluence" which might be brought before It.

Us principal concern In with the contracts , relative to Venetian blinds nnd blackboards for 'the ' three now school buildings , and with the employment of John McDonald ns ofllcial architect. The Inquiry was conducted by Attorney C. C. Wright. Mr. Cowlo was llrst Interrogated as to his connection with the McDonald contract nnd bond. He tald that bo had made every honorable effort to secure the appointment of John McDonald as olllclal architect , both ibocauso of personal friendship and becauto he considered him a competent person. "I had conversation" ? with every member cf the board on the subject. * said Mr. Cowic , "nnd there was no doubt as to my position In the matter. The appointment not carry with It any direct rcmunciation , but only 0 per cent of such contracts na might be undertaken for now buildings. "Did McDonnld offer $400 or any other amount for your Inlluccice ? " asked Mr. Wright. " No such proposal was over broached , " answered the witness. "Did Architect Lntenser ever have any conversation with you regarding his own candidacy for the appointment ? " Inquired the attorney. "Mr. Lateiiser called at my office four times with reference to the matter , " said Cowlo , "and on the first occasion I ex plained my position as a friend of SIcDonald. "Did he over offer you any consideration ? " "I don't remember that he ever did. " K < * ontrml I.cioUcil Into. The Inquiry then proceeded to the heatIng - Ing contract for the Saunders school. Mr. Cowlo said that several of his committee had pone to Kansas City to Inspect the High school heating plant there , but he did not Jtnow that they had been furnished with transportation by the American Warming nnd Ventilating company. The committee then considered the our- chase of blinds for the three now buildings , and a scene of excitement ensued. Mr. Cowle first described the method which had lioon employed In placing the order , The matter' had been referred to the commute * on buildings and property on December t , following Information by Superintendent ot Dulldlngs Danker that the windows should 1)0 provided with shades. No bids had been advertised for , said Mr. Cowle , as his com- inlttco had no such nuthorlty. Ho haA looked Into the matter to some extent , however over , and obtained two quotations , one of 23 cents per square foot and ono of 15 cents. On Inquiry of Banker and Superintendent Lntcnscr , Conic was Informed that the lul ter price was exceedingly low. On that ground alone , he said , ho advocated mak ing the purchase of Dodge & Co. , of Chicago , agents for the Wilson blinds , and the ordeh was accordingly placed , "Did Dodge & ' Co. quote you a private jirico of 0 cents per foot , " was naked. "No , they did not , " said Cowle. "Did you go to Chicago with reference to the purchase , " asked Aright. . "I had other business there , " said Cowle , "and wrote Dodge & Co. that I should be Kind to call and examine their goods. " "Did you communicate with the company further on the subject ? " asked the attorney. "I may have done so , " answered Cowle. Co UTi'luuriiin u m-ml. "Did you scud them the following telc- Kiam ? " said Wright , reading the words with visible excitement , " 'Your letter received. Looks good. Do you want mo come to Chicago , tonight ? Answer quick. ' " "I may have sent u message of that sort. My purpose was to ascertain whether they would furnish mo with transportation , Just os I might huve applied to anybody else. " "Did they solid you in return the follow ing telegram , " asked Wright , " Trice quoted , rock bottom , no money allowed for expenses. Como If you like ? ' " "I have no recollection of such n mes sage , " replied the wltnetH. The BUbJcct of blackboards was then re ferred to nnd the prosecution endeavored to connect Cowlo with the transaction In an Unfavorable light. Mr. Wright naked whether the witness was not on excellent terms with Iluckmlnstcr & Co. , the suc cessful bidders. Ho replied that ho knew Huckmlnstcr nnd entertained a friendly feel ing for him. Coil vor nil tlo n with IlnoUniliiRlcr , Mr. Cowlo was asked to detail his movo- nmntB on New Year's night after the board meeting at which the investigating com mittee. had been appointed. Ho related that ho had met Iluckminster on the night In question and had walked with him from Sixteenth and Fnrnam streets to Thirteenth , v > hero Iluckmlnstcr left him to return to his hotel. ncgardlng the conversation which passed Cowlo said It touched upon the proposed Investigation , Huckmlnster ex pressing his pleasure that there was noth ing In bin cose to Investigate. "Did you make nn appointment to meet him In the rear room of a tialoon and pro ceed to the rendezvous by different routes ? " neked Wright. "No , sir , we did not , " replied Cowle. "Did you cuter n telegraph office and fllo n message regarding the proposed Investi gation ? " continued the attorney. MI decline to answer that question , " said Cowio ; "that IB my private business. " AVHiirB * llt-i'llnvu to .Viin i > r. Several other questions were asked along thu same line and the witness refused to msut'r on , . . ; ground that such matters were not the concern of the committee. At torney Hansom then Itvterposed , protesting against the line of questioning. A spirited passage occuircd between 'the attorneys , during which the witness left the chair Hansom said that he would instruct bis cli ent not to mibtnlt to further ] > crsecutlon and Chairman Harnard called Cowlo ba k to Inquire whether ho would bo present at the afternoon session on the demand of the committee. Cowle , however , refused to resume - sumo his eeat nnd left the room In com * imny with his attorney. , CUM l < * llpfitNpi , lo Api > pni' . When the commltteo convened nt 2 p. m. a statement was made by Jeffries and Han- Bom. , representing A. M. Cowle. Cowle's legal advisers explained that Inasmuch is no charges had been filed against their client they had advised him not to appear at any further sessions of the committee. Chairman Barnard sal 1 In reply that the committee had no power to fllo charges , that Us duty consisted simply In the Investigation of Mich matters as might bo brought to ita attention. Attorney Wright , acting for the committee , will make no effort to force the witness to npptnr. He says that If Mr. Cowlo wishes to place hluuelf In the atti tude of hiv I u i ; something to conceal that ho will allow him that option. The afternoon WHS occupied with the tes timony of Secretary Olllan of the Hoard ot education. Mr. Olllan read the proceedings of the board rolntho to the letting of the contracts under consideration.

" "The St. Louts pioposltion was , indeed , a tempt ing one from a financial standpoint so much so In fact that It required several weeks' careful deliberation to decide the question , but I think that my decision to remain here will prove a wise one , for I frankly believe that Omaha Is now on the eve of the most prosperous times that we have known , and I , therefore , prefer to remain with the estab lishment that I opened here fourteen years ago. " I hope to see the headquarters of Nlcoll's imany establishments located In Omaha before many years.
