'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 4, 1002. 9 . v. ! 1 i 'I OEST WITNESSES HIS FINALE County Board Makes Captain 8tockham Superintendent of Poor Farm. CONNOLLY ACTS WITH THE REPUBLICANS COBBlulonni Hraftlve to Take Ip Five Per Oil Rands with Sew ! Iasae at Lotrrr Rata of Interrat. Captain and Mrs. William E. 8toekham are to replace Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Oest ai superintendent and matron of the county poor farm June 1, according to a resolution Adopted yesterdsy morning by the Board of County Commissioners. Stockham Is a republican, but his appoint ment was proposed by Connolly, demo cratic member of the board. The repub lican members, Oetrom and Harte, voted for the change and O'Keeffe and Hof ldt Voted against It. There was no speech-making except a few indignant remarks from O'Keeffe. who said that Oes had given tip his business in South Omaha and moved LJs furniture out to the poor farm and, that leaving politics out of the matter, he considered It a great Injustice. Oest had been an early caller at the commissioners' rooms and had had a talk with O'Keeffe, la the course of which he, the doomed super intendent, Indicated plainly that he fore saw his finale. Refnndlnar Bond laiar, The board, after disposing of the poor farm matter, voted unanimously for a reso lution to refund for twenty years at 3 per cent Interest, payable semi-annually, the 28,0OO In old refunding bonds, which have been bearing 6 per cent elnce 18f7 and which have five years yet to run. The board takes this action, It explains, because It believes the bonds can be refunded at the lower rate of Interest. There are 26S of the bonds for 1,000 each and the prin cipal and Interest of the new ones are to be payable at the Nebraska fiscal agency In New York City. The county clerk Is In atructed to notify, by publication In the three dally newspapers of Omaha, the pub llo that any objections to this must be filed by noon May 17. Question of Transportation. When tho appropriations were reached O'Keeffe arose and declared that the board would find It less expensive to charter a 'railroad than to pursue Its present policy In furnishing transportation to destitute applicants for charity. Connolly, as chair man of the charity committee, had given a woman (16 to aaslst her In reaching Buf falo, N. Y., and the South Omaha member declared that he bad Juat as much right to furnish transportation to Europe as to New York. Connolly answered by reciting the pitiable condition of some of those who bad come to him for help and declared that when a woman Is ill and her baby hungry it was too hard to refuse her aid. O'Keeffe Insisted that no transportation be Issued for a greater distance than 500 mites, ex cept, the matter be brought before the board In regular meeting. This was finally put through with Harte's amendment per 'mlttlbg a commissioner to act as be sees fit when the county physician recommends the emergency aa urgent. WAIT FOR CONGRESS TO ACT What the Contractors of Federal Balldlns Addition Are Re paired to Do. The atatement waa made by the super vising architect of tha Omaha federal building yesterday morning that no further action would be taken on the construction pt t the Seventeenth atreet front of the federal building until congress has bad an opportunity to pass upon the question. The architect atated that the bids of Gin dele Co. had been suspended In Wash ington until more money Is available for the construction, as there Is not money sufficient In the fund to complete the building even upon the modified plan of Benator Millard. As to the probability of securing funds this year, the architect said that he understood the Intention of Senator Mil hard to be to attach an appropriation to the general deficiency bill pending In the enate or to the omnibus building bill, . which will soon reach the senate from the house. At the present time that bill, which came from Congressman Mercer's commit tee, contains no provision for money to complete the building In this city. According to statements made at the 'federal building the present condition wlil result In extending the work on the build ing for about another year, as the plans for the construction will depend entirely upon the action of congress. The fear waa expressed that unless the matter is set tled at this session there will not be money enough In the present fund to Mrs. a. c. Wlllard.

It will cost 1208 to remove the ashee and rubbish from the building, $120 to sprinkle the etreets and $80 to wind the clocks and keep them In running order. WILL BEAUTIFY ONE STREET Major D. H. Whtrlrt'i Scheme to Be Carried Ont on Sonth Twenty ElaThth. 8outh Twenty-eighth street from Farnam to Leavenworth, a distance of about half a mile, bus been taken under the wing of Major D. H. Wheeler, who proposes to demonstrate to the city what a little uni formity In the way of sodding and tree planting can do toward beautifying a drive way. It is to be made a sample residence street, to the end that the city council may eventually order more like It. Bids for sodding and tree-planting have been opened by the Board of Public Works and contracts will be awarded within a few days. James M. Buel offers to do the sodding for 11 Vi cents per square yard, while Oeorge R. Crandall bids 11 cents per square yard and $2.70 per tree, each tree guaranteed to live. The trees will be soft maple and will be set In such a way as to form continuous, unbroken rows on both sides of the street, from Leavenworth to Farnam street. The sodding will be of uni form width between the sidewalk and the curb the entire distance. These Improve ments, In view of the fact that the old cedar block pavement has been removed and the thoroughfare repaved with asphalt, promise to make on South Twenty-eighth street one of the most beautiful half-miles ot driveway In the city. One eyesore In the heart ot this some what exclusive residence district la a group of ramshackle frame buildings at 315 South Twenty-eighth street, the property ot John Keith of North Platte. They are used by him as boarding and sale stables for horses raised on his ranch, and ot late persons living In the locality have been complaining that the atreet. n front of the buildings la constantly congested with a Job lot of non descript vehicles. E. O. Jackson, manager of the stables, la to be notified that he has no right to use the street for this purpose. The structures themselves have fallen under the ban of the city building Inspector, who will recommend to the Board of Publlo Works at Its next meeting that they be condemned and torn down. The ordinance providing for the embel lishment of South Twenty-eighth street la all that la left of Major Wheeler's blanket ordinance providing for similar Improve ments on every residence street in the city. Thla ordinance was vetoed by the mayor, who gave aa his reason that the city waa already overburdened with special taxea. "It the ordinance had become law," said the major, "It would have put an end to this squabble about the building of fencea In the street. The city would have become responsible for the .proper care ot the trees and sodding along atreet margins, and there would have been no excuse for private property owners building fencea for such protection."

Governor Savage snd ststf and General fcSief ma si a wui be present, COST OF PHILIPPINE WAR Quartermaster of This Department Helping to rigure it Ont. WASHINGTON CALLS FOR INFORMATION Clerks Wreatllnst with Dlfllcalt Prob lem, as Sanpllea Are ot Easily Checked t n General Army Notes. The clerks In the ofTlce of the quarter master of the Department of the Missouri are busy endeavoring to ascertain the amount of money expended by the quarter master of this department on account of the war In the Philippines since that war broke out. Thla work la being done In re rponse to a telegram received from General Ludlngton, quartermaster general of the army, who has asked for specific Informa tion as to the expense of rail transporta tion for troops, recruits and civilians pay able from the army transportation appro priation. Including the cost of transporting all impedimenta and baggage accompanying the troops; to ascertain the cost of trans porting all army supplies not accompanying troops which were shipped from this de partment to the Philippines, and also the cost of all material and supplies purcbssed In this department for the use of the troops In the Islands excepting the clothing and equipment of the soldiers. The work Is not only tedious, but an exact result Is difficult to obtain on account ot the distribution of supplies. About a year ago 6,000,000 pounds of oats and large quan tities of hay were purchased for the use of the army In the Philippines, but It waa later understood that a part of this pur chase was sent to the troops In China, so It will be difficult to ascertain what part of the purchase should be Included in the figures submitted, as the provender left the department Intact consigned to Seattle, where It was divided If any division took place. Other supplies may have been handled In the same way, ao that it will be practically Impossible to secure exact fig urea from the records of the Omaha office. The Information desired Is on account of a resolution adopted by the Philippine In vestigation committee of the senate, which Is endeavorlcg to ascertain the cost of the war In the Orient. It will require the work of practically all of the clerks several days to secure the data, as each transportation account will have to be examined. Notes from the Department. Captain McCUntock, aide on the staff of Oeneral Bates, returned Friday evening from the rifle range on the Winnebago agency. He says that the site aelected la excellent, but that no target practice has been secured on account ot the high wind. Soma gallery shooting Is done after the wind abates in the evening.

FOR MARKING OF BAD MEN One Thine: that Will Interest National Association of Police Chiefs. CHIEF DONAHUE TALKS OF THE PROJECT While Attending National Convention Omaha's Representative Will Also Invrailsate the Three-Shift System. Chief of Tollce Donahue will leave Mon day for Louisville, Ky., to attend the na tional convention of chiefs of police, of which he Is a director. The convention will begin Wednesday and be In session tour dsys. "One of the principal questions that will be discussed," said the chief, "will be the bill pending In congress for tha maintenance of the national bureau or Identification. We desire the appropriation made, but we also want the matter kept out of politics. The bill provides for the appoint ment of a auperlntendent by the attorney general, to be approved by the board of dlrectora of our association. It means a great deal to us and to the efficiency of the bureau as to who the superintendent and his assistants are to be. We are afraid that In time to come the offices might be given to persons not competent. In order to pay political debts, and It la of the utmost Importance that the super intendent and bis aselstsnts be men thoroughly posted In the business. At the present time there are about 60,000 photo graphs In the collect lou In Washington, with a description of each man. Wi Identify a man from his description more than from the photograph, and should the least error be made In tho description It vould ru:n the Identification, hence theahso- lute necessity of having every man employed In the bureau thoroughly competent and familiar with the work. I believe the men should be selected by the board and rec ommended to the attorney general." Contest for Xext Meeting. Washington, Los Angeles and Colorado Springs are making a fight for the next meeting of the convention, and as all three places made a good showing last year for this meeting, the contest promises to be spirited, though at the present time Wash ington seems to have the lead. Chief Donahue will Investigate thoroughly the three-shift or eight-hour-a-day plan and if It has proven satisfactory In other places be will make an endeavor to have It Introduced here. "My Idea." said the chief, "Is to have a small shift go on f.-om S o'clock in the morning until 4 In the aft ernoon, as there Is very little to do be tween those hours, and only a small force Is required. From 4 until midnight is tho time that the largest crowds are on the streets and more men are needed, and we could double the force. Then from 12 o'clock until 8 In the morning have a email force, all the men being available for emer gency," MORE GRADUATES THAN EVER Hlsih School Class of This Year Num bers One Hundred and Forty-Seven.
