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.

DES MOINES. May 1. (Special.) The
republican district convention for the Fifth
district is to be held today at Cedar
Tlapids and Hon. Robert O. Cousins of Tip
ton will undoubtedly be renominated for

Slow Work on Marder Case.
Peter Peterson, the father of the two chll
dren murdered early this month in High'
land Park, called at police headquarters
today to Inquire If the detectives have any
further information, and was Informed that
the city authorities are completely In the
dark as to the murderer. 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 case Is still
a great mystery to the public, for not a
drop ot blood has been found anywhere, or
the weapons with which the murder was
committed.
Looks Like Evasion of Law.
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. There are Internal
evidences that the company thus sought to
be organized Is to do a business like that
which is aimed at by a bill passed by the
legislature to require the entire tontine
business to come under the building and
loan laws of the state. 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.
Thomas Nelson Downs, an Iowa man mors
famous in Europe than at home, is visiting
his sged mother at Montour. He has been
touring Europe for three years as a spe
claltst in sleight of hand tricks and has
made a great success at It. A few years ago
he was a telegraph operator In Marshalltown
and made a study of ths tricks of special
ists engaged in amusing the public and
became convinced he could do them as well
as anybody. He went to New York and
engaged In variety hall work awhile, then
made a short tour of this country In con
nection with Sam Slegel. violinist; later
went to Europe, where for three years hs
has been engaged In the leading cities. He
now has engagements ahead for at least two
years, but returned home for a brief stay
with his mother and his son.
Artillery from the Philippines.
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.

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."
