WANT CONTRACT ENFORCED Oft ANNULLED Waa Let Two Years A(o and o Hon Trt Made to Start Work Mayor Expresses Ilia Views on Matter. Residents and property owners on Har rison street are sgain urging the city authorities to force Contractor Wlckhara to fulfill his contract and pave this streot this year. l"p to dste Wlckhara has made no sign that he intrnds to carry out his contract, which was awarded him In Au- I 1900. two year. ago. although he ha, repeatedly assured Mayor Morgan and I members of the city council that be will Pv e streets this year, . . . , Property owners Interested In the pav ing of Harrison street are now Insisting that WIckham be compelled to carry .out his contract and pave the street or that the contract be annulled and the city ad vertise for new bids and make a new con tract. In the event of the city adopting the latter course It Is urged by the Har rison street property owners that the city take steps to enforce the penalty for fail ure on the part of WIckham to carry out his contract and that suit be brought on his bond. , The contract for the paving of Harrison street was awarded to E. A. Wckham In Augifst, 1900, on his bid of $133 per square yard for Council Blums vitrified brick, top and bottom courses. It Is said that this figure Is lower than the work con now be done without loss to the contractor and that is the main reason why the street has not been paved. Mayor Morgan, who said he voiced the sen timent of several of the alderman, stated yesterday that he was In favor of the city taking some definite action In this matter at onco nu the property owners and resi dents on Harrison street had certainly some rights which the city ought to pro tect. He said he favored advertising for new bids for this paving in the event of Contractor WIckham not begglnlng the work by October and suing WIckham on his bond. It had been stated, be said, that Wlckham's bond would not protect the city, and If this was the case tho sooner the city found It out the better. Mayor Morgan said further that the people on Harrison street were entitled to havo their street paVed If ' they so desired It, and that the city should take the proper ot. pB to enforce Its contract with WIckham or else annul It - and sue .WIckham for whatever damages might have been suf fered by his failure to carry out the work according to his contract. The mayor declared his Intention of bringing up the matter at the next meeting of the city council with a view to having some defi nite action taken by that body in this mat ter. N. Y. Plumbing Co.. (cipnon Sib INSIST ON MORE MEN TEACHERS Majority of Board of Education (an ot See It In that' Uht. Including Principal Ensign there are four male teachers in the High school faculty. They constitute one-fourth of the faculty, the other twelve teachers being women. 3everal members of the Board ot Educa tion are of the opinion that there should be a larger proportion of men and this question was the subject of considerable discussion at a secret meeting of the board held Wednesday afternoon in' Secretary Ross' office. .... The question came up on the request of Superintendent Clifford for the appointment of an additional teacher in the High school, made necessary by the increased enroll ment. The teachers' committee, acting on the reiommendatlon of ' Principal Clifford, presented the name ot Miss Emily Young of Humboldt. la., for the position, but other members of the board urged that a male teacher be selected, giving as their reasons that they believed the morale of the school demanded an increased number of men In the faculty. The discussion, it la 'said, was prolonged and at times quite animated and reference was frequently made to the spirit. of in subordination which had prevailed in the High school last year, by the members who urged the appointment of a male teacher In place ot another woman. In the long run the recommendation ot thu teachers' committee prevailed and Miss Young was elected. 8he will teach -mathematics, At this meeting tho board decided to ( pay ca8u for the brick pavement recently j completed on South Seventh street and Willow avenue tn front of the Bloomer school property. The assessment against the school district for this Improvement amounts to $1,450 and by paying cash the district will save about $350. The board also ordered natural slate blackboards for the four new rooms In the addition being erected at the Plercs street school, the two rooms being opened in the High school and the two rooms recently opened at the Second avenue school build ing. The boards will cost 16 cents a square foot, to which must be added the freight, making the total cost about 20 cents a foot. Davis sells glsss. County Lets Coal Contract. County Supervisors Brandes.

Stxby A Son, Want Kew Road Into Park. The Board of Park Commissioners wants the city to make a cut of from ten to twelve feet In the Graham avenue hill opposite ths drlvewsy entrance to Falrmount park. Graham avenue, which connects at the south end with Tostevln street, is but little traveled on that portion extending south from the park, but ths park commissioners are of the opinion that if the city would cut down this hill It would mske another Jiopu'ar entrance way to Falrmount park. The cut would have to be extended 150 to 200 feet and would cost, according to a rough estimate mads by ths city engineer'! THE OMAHA DAILY BEEi FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1902. department, between $100 and $500. The city has not at the present time, with the depleted condition of the streets and allays fund, the money with which to do this work. In speaking of the request of the park board yesterday Mayor Morgan said: "While the cut on Graham avenue might develop Increased travel on this street and make It a mora popular thoroughfare to Falrmount park from the south portion of the city, I do not see where the money can come from at this time to make the de sired Improvement. I am doubtful whether the prospective benefits warrant the ex penditure of $"00 on the cut, as asked for by the park beard. It Is possible, however, that next year. If the condition of the streets and alleys fund warrants it, this cut may be made." Settle at Damage "nit. A dlemlesal has been entered In the $r0,000 personal Injury damage suit of George P.

INNOVATION AT THE REFORM SCHOOL Superintendent nt Kldorn Has Worked a Revolution In Conditions by Liberal Policy with ' Inmates. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., Sept. 25. (Special.) W'ord has been received here from Secre tary Cortelyou indicating that the presi dent expects to make his trip Into Iowa and other states of the midland region some time next spring. No definite date has been arranged but the president will visit Des Moines some time In the spring. It Is assumed that he would not come until after the next session of congress closes.

Xevr Idea In Aaaessmentn. City Solicitor William Bremner this morning filed with the city clerk an opinlop as to the legality of assessing property owners In the city to pay for graveling or cinders on the streets. Mr. Bremner says that It is perfectly legal to assess such Improvements against property owners In tho same manner that pavements aro as ressed. The council had before It some time ago a resolution ordering the board of public works to charge for graveling and cindering streets and the question was raised as to whether such work could be assessed. The opinion is most important for the residents of the outlying districts of the city, especially those of East Des Moines. A great deal of gravel hae been spread on East Des Moines streets within the past few years and the board has been planning to gravel and cinder many more streets. All tho expense heretofore has been paid by the city. Work done along this line hereafter will be assessed against the property owners, as the ma jority of the council has expressed In favor of such action. Reform School Innovation. Superintendent Fitzgerald of the state industrial school for girls at Mitchellvllle is planning to give the 200 girls In school there an opportunity to see more of tho world and as soon as the lnterurban car line Is completed from Des Moines to Mlt chel'vllle, which will bo in a few weeks, he plans to bring the girls to Des Moines In squads or classes and have them attend entertainments and church. The Idea will be a decided Innovation. Two years and a half ago the school was In a chronic state of Insurrection and dlsorded and the girls could not be trusted In anything. Since Mr. Fitzgerald took charge and adopted a different plan treating the girls there has not been 'one to run away and no punishment1 of any kind has been In flicted. The school now has one of the finest orchestras In the state and It is prob able will give ' some: entertainments In ' cities next winter. Superintendent Fitz gerald believes that isolation Is a bad thing for the girls and will attempt to give them opportunity to see something of the world outside of the school. lnl.1entlfl.ed Man' Killed. The Incoming Ttock Island train from Fort Dodge at ll:30 o'clock today struck and killed a man in the western part of the city who had Just stepped on the track. He was walking with two others but they did not know him. His body was carried a long distance then dropped between the rails and horribly mutilated. He was a man about 75 years old and there was nothing on the man by which he could be identified. It is believed by the train men he deliberately sought to die and chose this method. Political Meetings. Judge Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs la to deliver three speeches in eastern Iowa, at Albla, October 1; Fairfield, Oc tober 2, and Clinton, October 3. The last Is to be an evening meeting. It Is learned that the democrats have secured an agree ment that Frtd W. Lehmann ot St. Louis, many years prominent In Iowa previous to free sliver days, will speak five or six times in Iowa in the Third and Sixth dis tricts. Colonel Joseph Elboeck of this city will also go on the stump for the demo crats. An effort is being made to secure Bourke Cockran of New York for a speech In the Third district In the Interests of Botes. On his return from the east Gov ernor Cummins finds a large number of In vitations to deliver speeches. He Is wanted In Kansas for three speeches and the chair man of the Illinois committee has asked that be speak In Lorlmer's district In Chicago. Rack from Christening. Governor Cnmmins and party of state officials and others returned this morning from the christening of the cruiser Des Moines at Qulncy, Mass. The trip was In every way enjoyable and made without accident or incident. The cruiser was launched according to program and Miss Macomber of this city won praise tor her becoming conduct. The party was royally etnertalned while tn the east, at Boston and New York. The entertainment at clubs and elsewhere was very complimentary to the Iowa party. " State Will hot raf Demurrant. The attorney general has rendored an Informal opinion to the State Board ot Control that the stats will not have to pay demurrage charges to the railroad com panies on account of delays in unloading cars at the various state Institutions, and the stats board has notified the superintend ents that bills for demurrage will not be paid. The superintendents have had great deal of trouble of this kind, as the railroad companies Insist on delivering coal in large quantities and the state instltu tions are not prepared to cars for it ia that way. In rase an attempt is made to collect demurrage charges from the stats a test will be made in court of the liability of the state In such cases. Award Seven Scholarships. IOWA CITY, Sept. 25.

(8peclal ) Prominent among the criminal rases on Ihe docket for the term of the district court held here by Judge Hobson during the past two weeks was that of the state vs. L. J. Barnra on two Indictments for forgery, one a note of $3,000 held by the bank at Arlington and the other a note for $2,000 held by the Aetna State bank at Oelweln. These indictments were seven years old, and It la not probable had Barnes remained In the west that an effort would have been made to bring him hack for trial. But he concluded a few weeks ago thit he mlht safely return to tho old home. When the case agalnBt him was called he pleaded guilty. He has not yet been sentenced. EXHIBITS FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR Foreign Conntrlrs Are tn Re Well Represented In the Way of National Displays. WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. Secretary Hay s sent urgent Instructions to all of the United States diplomatic officers abroad to do everything within their power to Insure displays at the world's exprsltlon at St. Louis from the countries at which they aro accredited. The purpose was not only to secure con siderable individual displays by great man ufacturers and merchants, but also to have the various governments themselves make national exhibits, as these features of in ternational fairs have usually br:en the more Interesting. Encouraging reports arc coming In now and one Just received from Commissioner General John Barrett conveys the gratifying announcement that China, Japan and Cnrea will participate In the fair on a much more extensive scale than they have undertaken In any preceding International exposition. The three countries named have agreed not only to prepare comprehensive exhibits, but to erect buildings on the fair grounds and send imperial commissioners to represent them. Commissioner Barrett has started on a tour of southern China, bound for Australia and New Zealand. Both of these great English colonies have declined the invita tion of the United States government to participate In the world's fair. It la the belief here that this decision was brought about through a misunderstanding of the scope and purpose of the exposition and Mr. Barrett's report Indicate that they may be led to reconsider their action. PRESIDENT AND GRAND ARMY Mr. Roosevelt Slarnlfles His Desire to Aid the Encampment In Any Way. WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. In conference with B. H.

MAYBE THE EMPER0R LIVES Washington Receives No Official Con firmation of Report of Cores'! Ruler's Death. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. The rumored death of the emperor of Corea fails to And confirmation in any official quarter here. The suggestion is thrown out that a break probably has occurred through the post ponement of the celebration of the emper or's birthday and accession to the throne. Tho emperor was 60 years old on September 8, and he assumed the throne on October 12, 1897. He had contemplated the cele bration of the anniversary of these two events on the latter day, October 12 next, but the State department not long ago was advised that this celebration had been post poned for a year on account of the preva lence of cholera In Corea. It Is assumed that a loose statement of these facts has led to the circulation of the report of the death of the emperor. VENEZUELAN JNCIDENT OVER Misuse of American Flasc by a Forelcn Warship Has Been Atoned Tor. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. It practically has been decided to regard the misuse of the American flag by the Venezuelan govern ment warship Restaurador as a closed Inci dent. The ample apology made by the ven- exuelan foreign office and the hoisting and the saluting of the American flag by twen ty-one guns Is taken as a sufficient expia tion. As there Is every reason to believe that there will be no repetition of the of fense, the matter will be allowed to drop out ot sight. Minister Bowen's energetic action In the matter Is approved.
