JUNIOR BANNER COMES DOWN Electrio Light Emploje Lower It to Avoid Danger of a Tragedy, SENIORS TAKE TURN AT HIGH SCHOOL Ran Their Banners tp the Flag: Staff, bat Saaerlatcndeat Clifford and Direeter Copper Hssl It Dow a at Oaee. To prevent further attempt on the part of members of the senior and Junior classes to flaunt their colors from the flag pole on the top of the High school building the Board of Education Wednesday afternoon se cured from Mayor Morgan the appointment of C. Tucker as special officer for thirty days. Tucker will be stationed at night at the High school to prevent tho pupils from breaking Into the building, as they did Tuesday night. The banner of the Junior class, which had been suspended Monday night from one ot the guy wires of the electric tower at Broadway and Fourth streets, was taken down about 1 o'clock yesterday morning by an employe of the electric light company. When tho venturesome members of the Junior class scaled the tower Monday night there waa no current on, but Tuesday night It was, and tho electric light company, fear ing some member of the senior class might attempt to climb the tower and be electro cuted, decided to take it down. The banner when taken down led to a small-sized riot between the seniors and the Juniors, each class attempting to gala possession of IL Captain Maltby of the night police detail succeeded, however, in taking the banner to the city Jail, where It remains locked up In the safe. The senior class tried to gain possession of It by se curing an order from Mayor Morgan about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, but the order was countermanded when Captain Maltby Informed the mayor of the true facts of the case. The seniors shortly after midnight Tues day attempted to get rid of the Juniors' banner by throwing a basket of lighted oil waste ud other Inflammable matter over the guy rope from the top of the Masonic building, but the distance was too great and the scheme failed. The attempt to de stroy the banner was not given up, how ever, until several fights bad occurred be tween the two classes. After the Juniors' flag had been carried to the police station several of the seniors repaired to the High school and broke lsto the building by forcing one of the windows. In order to gain access to the root they broke a door off its hinges and flung It to the bottom of the stairway. They then hoisted their banner to the top of the flsg pole. In the meantime Superintendent Clifford, who lives opposite the school, had been awakened by the noise, as had School Director Cooper. They both hastened to the building, but the boys mads their escape without being identified. The banner of the senior class was not, however, permitted to float to the breeie for any length of time. As soon as Superintendent Clifford and Di rector Cooper had returned to their homes and beds a number of the boys ot the Junior class got into the building and hauled the seniors' flag down.

COUNCIL BUSY ON TELEPHONES One Ordinance for Submission to Values at the City la De cided On. Giving as Its reason that the company la not yet organized and that It has no guar anty that it ever will be, the committee of tho whole of the council refused Wednes day afternoon to consider the ordinance for a telephone franchise submitted on be half ot the Omaha 4 Council Bluffs Tele phone and Telegraph company by Charles Webster ot Minneapolis. The committee took up and discussed sec tion by section the ordinance submitted on behalf of the Interstate Telephone company by Vic Stevens, president of the Dubuque Telephone company. A number of changes were decided upon and ths ordinance wae turned over to City Solicitor Snyder to re draft and report back to the committee at a meeting to be held Monday afternoon, May It. The original ordinance provided that ths company should complete and have its plant In operation within two years from ths date of the passage ot the measure. At the suggestion of Attorney Wadsworth, who appeared for the company, thla was chsngsd to one year from the passage ot the ordinance. Another change provides that the $1,600 be deposited by ths com pany to defray the expenses of the special electloa shall be deposited T.thln ten days after the passage of ths resolution by the council recommending the submission ot the granting ot ths franchise to the voters of ths city and before the mayor shall or der such aa election, Instead of within thirty days after the acceptance ot the or dinance as provided in the original meas ure. The ordinance was furthsr smended by ths Insertion ot a clause requiring the com pany to lower or raise Its conduits at Its own sxpense ss might be required In the svsnt of the city laying sewers. This pro vision Is in the other ordlnancea submitted. Alderman Lougee1 raised the question whether the company could not, under the ordinance as Introduced, string Its wires on poles placed In the alleys Instead ot putting them In underground conduits on ths streets in the prescribed district. In order to prevent this the ordinance will be amended o as to prohibit the stringing of sverhead wires ia ths alleys adjacent to ths district de&aed for underground con duits. Alderman McDonald attempted to reduce ths life of the charter from twenty-five to twenty years, but no change waa made in this respect. Coasldersbls d'acusslon was had ovar ths question whether ths city council had the right to pass an ordinance of this char acter before it had been submitted to ths vote of tne people, aad City Solicitor Buy der gave It as his opinion that It had not. Ia his opinion all the city council could do Is to pass a rsaolutloa. after deciding upon the character of the ordinance, recommend ing its submission te ths voters (or their approval or disapproval, aad la the event ot the ordinance receiving a majority of the votes then pass tt ia the ordinary manner. In referring the ordinance for redrafting by the city solicitor Alderman Lougee sug gested that there waa ao ased te hurry the matter, as he had been advised that tho Council Bluffs Independent Tulepaone com-1 pany, realising that Its original proposl-j THE OMAHA tlon had been "shot full of holes" by the propositions cf the other competing com psnles, Intended to make a number of changes In Its ordinance and practically submit sn entire new one. A communication was read from John H. Kuhns ot Omaha, In which he stated that be intended to submit an ordinance for a telephone franchise at the meeting of the city council next Monday night and he hoped that It would receive due considera tion. The ordinance of the local Independent company aas not taken up, as the discus sion of that of the Interstate company's occupied the entire afternoon. Davis sells glass. Plumbing and heating.

Nothing has been accomplished that gives hope of cap turlng the criminal. The detectives say they have turned up some new clues, but do not divulge the same.

The secretary of state has received the articles of incorporation of the Bankers Tcntlne Mercantile company of this city, but has as yet refused to file the articles and issue a charter.

The attorney general is of the opinion that the company should be required to make a more specific state tnent of its plan of business before being chartered. Aa Iowa Man's Specialty.

The Iowa State museum has Just been enriched by the addition of a number of in teresting specimens of Filipino weapons captured by American soldiers In the Phil Ipplnes during the war. They were sent here by favor of Congressman Hull. Two bamboo cannon are crude and ugly. They are about Ave feet long. One apparently has a metal core made especially for it, around which are bamboo pieces bound with heavy wire. The other appears to hsve a piece of gas pipe for the barrel and the bamboo covering Is merely held fast by Iron bands. Neither piece has sver been mounted. A small mounted brass csnnon Is about three feet long and has a bore of about two Inches. It is a pretty weapon. but the large truck is of crude wooden con struction and cumbersome. A brass salut ing mortar stands on snd about eighteen inches high and was fired only for making a noise. A rifle Is made out of a piece of gas pipe about five feet long, set In a crude wooden stock and bound with Iron bands. It Is so heavy one man could not hold It up and so crude that It would appear to be more dangerous to fire than as a weapon. The State museum now has eighteen pieces of artillery, including sev eral Chinese guns and mortars and a Una collection ot old guod of various sorts. Red Cross Reorsjaalsed.

MAKE POLICEMEN MARK TIME Plain Clothes Men Shoot to Stop Klgtht Operator, Who Comes Back with a Gib. A determined appearing young man with a steady eye and a -loaded shotgun stood at the corner of Nineteenth and Webster streets at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and marked time for two special officers in citizens' clothes, who were marching down the street ahead of him because he wanted tbem to. Frank Maryott. a telegrapher on The Bee, was the man behind the gun and there was an interesting preliminary to the scene hs was enacting. Mr. Maryott's working day begins at dark and ends at 2:30 a. m., which accounts for his going home at about the hour when porch climbers are In full bloom and the re frigerator thief Is busiest. At Eighteenth and Chicago streets he was hailed by three men, whom he didn't know and didn't care to. They wanted him to stop and talk things over, but Maryott felt hurried and not properly dressed for meeting strangers. When he Increased his speed they increased theirs, and finally one ot them shot twice. The pursued key-tapper touched the ground Just three times In reaching his horns at 1914 Webster street. But when he wss Indoors he didn't pray nor try to tell his wife that he had been running for exercise. Instead, he hauled down the shotgun that has sent may a game bird to ths frylngpan and sallied forth again with both barrels losded snd his pockets bulging with extra shells full of goose shot. He sighted the tall man of the bunch at the corner below the bouse and drew a bead on him. The min ion of the law demanded, to know what in hadee waa going on, and Mr. Maryott vol unteered to send him down where he could see for himself. "Why did you shoot at ma?" asked the telegrapher. "I wanted you to atop so I could see who you were," answered the other man, shifting uneasily from foot to foot. "I'm an officer." "Back up! You're no officer. You're a hobo. You must think my birthday's to morrow, when you try 'that old one on me." "Here's my star." "That don't look good to me, either. I've got a tomato can made out of stuff like that." Just then the other officer sauntered sround the corner. "Come over here with your pal," com manded Captain Maryott. The man looked once at the gun and came. He, too, had a star and Maryott began to believe their story. But he didn't propose to take chances, so he made them a proposition. It was that they walk east as far as they could go, and right away, with the under standing that If they turned around or hesitated he was to have the rare privilege of a pot shot. The men at tho muzzle end of the gun thought It over and concluded It was a good proposition to accept under the circumstances. So they walked. Maryott watched them fade in the dis tance and then went back to the house. "What happened," asked Mrs. Maryott in a whisper. "Nothing." "Well, why not?" "Because," answered her doughty hus band, "there wasn't any serious difference of opinion when I got back there with a gun ot my- own. I don't know yet who ths gentlemen were, but they were very accommodating and seemed to fall right in with everything I suggested."
