Variety rhsraeterlied the mcrtlng of the
Board of Eviration last evening and so
rapid and marked wore the changes In
the mood of tba body during It proceed
ing! as to be at times almost startling.
From serlomnrss no Intense that It closely
approached the tragic to levity of the
lightest character the members passed
with one accord In almost Instantaneous
transition. Discussion In terms of most
pretentions rhetoric was without any In
termediate siage thrown aside for argu
ment In the slang vernacular. Rigid econ
omy In the treatment of one measure was
closely followed by liberality In the action
tipon another. Even the members In pre
senting a quretlon were at a loss to know
in what spirit It would be received.
Almost at the outset of the meeting the
proceedings took on a very serious aspect.
The committee on buildings and property
reported recommending the payment of the
balance due John Rowe & Co. on the con
tract for the heating and ventilating plant
In the High school, amounting to 12.075,
and also the sum of $100 on a bill of extras,
that being the amount agreed upon In set
tlement of an original claim of $390.26.
The report also recommended that the
mounts mentioned be included In the
claims report for the evening.
Brings Anlmnlrd Discussion.
This report provoked an animated dis
cussion a to the performance of the con
tract, during which was reviewed a great
deal of the hlatory of the differences which
had occurred beteween Rowe Co. and
John Latenser, the architect who drew the
plana and specifications. W. F. Johnson
vigorously upheld the claim of Mr. Rowe.
Admitting that Mr. Rowe had departed
from the specifications of the architect,
Mr. Johnson declared that unless he had
dona so the plant could never have been
made to operate successfully. Some of the
members contended that Mr. Rowe had no
right under any circumstance! to depart
from the plana and specifications under
which he had acoepted the contract, and
Mr. latenser was given the floor to state
that had the contractor followed the plans
and specifications Implicitly no troublo
would have been experienced, but as some
changes had been made others were found
necessary. Mr. Latenser, In the course of
hit remark, stated that the representation
that changes were necessary were entirely
false. Then W. F. Johnson said he had
beeen Informed that Mr. Latenser had
asked Mr. Rowe what he would give to get
this contract, and when Mr. Rowe replied
that he would take his own chances, rely
ing entirely on bis bid, Mr. Latenser had
used all the influence he could bring to
bear to get the contract for another bidder
whose bid waa not the lowest. He had also
been informed that Mr Tjitenser bad done
everything in his power to embarrass Mr.
Rowe In the performance of the contract.
Thla Mr. LatcnBer denied as being entirely
false. After some further discussion a mo
tion by J. J. Smith to refer the report to
at special committee was adopted by a vote
of 8 to 4, the members who were absent
being Theodore Johnson, Mr. Maynard and
Mr. Wood.
Home Ralarlea Rained.
The queatlon of salaries, which has given
the board much concern of late, came In
for still further attention at thla meeting.
When the report of the committee on claim
approving the payroll waa presented, W.
F. Johnson moved to amend by making the
salary of Nathan Bernstein, head of the
department of physics at the High school,
$130 Instead of $120. Mr. Berustcln, he
aald, was made acting director of that de
partment last year, but the salary was not
Increased at that time. He had since been
given the position permanently and should
get the full salary of his position. Robert
Smith moved to amend the amendment by
raising the salaries of several other mem
bers of the High school staff, among whom
was mentioned Prof. Waterhouse, to be ad
vanced to the salary of $2,500 per year,
but that amendment was ruled out by
President Barnard aa "not amending any
thing." The amendment of Mr. Johnson
was adopted. Later, by resolution intro
duced by Robert Smith, the salary of Ar
thur Pearse. who was appointed acting di
rector of the biology department thin fall,
waa Increased from $90 to $110 per month.
The committee on high school reported
recommending that nine additional type
writing machines be secured tor use In the
commercial department and Mr. Mcintosh
Immediately moved an amendment abolish
ing the teaching of typewriting In the
schools. This amendment carried, only
Robert 8milh and Mr. Cermak voting In the
negative.
The recommendation of the committee
on high school that the biology department
of the High school be moved- to the new
building was adopted. Mr. Homan moved
to amend by including the department of
physics, but his motion was lost.
Janitors Wait More Money.
' To ths committee on beating and ven
tilating was referred a petition from the
Janitors of the schools, twenty-six In num
ber, asking the board to restore tbelr sal
arles as they were before the cut of 1895
and stating that owing to the Increased
cost of living they felt themselves Justified
in making this request. Appended to this
petition were two notations in lead pencil
as follows: "Me too. C. E. Herring;'
Me too, J. F. Burgess."
A communication from Superintendent
Pearse stated that reports which be had re
eetved from principals of schools showed
the total membership on September 26 to
have been 15.875, which waa 364 pupils lees'
than at the same period of last year. He
further stated that he had learned from
theae reports that there were four rooms
in which the membership exceeded fifty
Ave, and, including auburban schools nine
teen rooms In which the membership was

BOYS' RALLY IS ARRANGED
It Will Occur at Voaag Men's Chris
tian Association Oca
tober 18.
The Toung Men's Christian association
and the Christian church convention com
mittee have completed the arrangements
for the boys' rally, to be held at the as
sociation rooms at 4 o'clock Sunday after
noon, October 19. The leaders of this
rally will be Rev. B. B. Tyler and A. W.
Connor, editor of The Boys Friend, of In
dianapolis, Ind. ' Mr. Connor will speak
upon the subject of "The Boy World and
Its Inhabitants," while the subject to be
rested by Dr. Tyler has not been an
nounced. Harry Cockrell will sing at this
rally, which is intended to be the largest
of Us kind ever held In Omaha.
A slight .hitch has occurred in the ar
rangements for the Young Men's Chris
tian association rally, to be held Sunday,
October 19. It was the dealre of the Chris
tian church committee to have the meet
ing held at ' the Coliseum, where room
would be ample for all persons to hear
the speakers. Members of the local as
sociation, however, have desired to change
the meeting place from the Coliseum to
the First Methodist church. In favor of
the change It is said by the association
members that they desire the meeting- for
Omaha people and do not care for the
attendance of the vialtors. as they hope
by the rally to strengthen the local or-
ganlzation and to assist it In Its efforts
to maintain a missionary In China; that
the people of th city will be more likely
to attend the meeting at the First Method
ist church than at the Coliseum and that
those who can obtain seats in the build-
ing will be better cared for. On ths other
hand the church committee maintains that
the rally has been advertised as one of the
features of the convention, that the dele
gates from the different states will come
expecting to hear addresses by men who
have attained national prominence in tbe
work and that It would be unfair to them
to hold the meeting In a building where
the delegates could not be accommodated.

Ourdon W. Wattles has returned from
New York, where he has been for a week
or more. He was with Mr. Murphy and
Mr. Morse in the work on the sale of the
street car lines of the city, but on that
subject will say nothing definite. "Mr.
Murphy and Mr. Morse have the matter In
charge," he said, "and while I have been
advised of the present situation I prefer to
say nothing and let Mr. Murphy speak for
publication when be returns."
On general conditions in New York Mr.
Wattles said: "Banking circles In New
York are very much exrlted, as you are
aware. While there is no danger of fail
ures among the associated national banks
and the entire strength of the clearing
house association will be used to protect
each and every one. there is some danger
to be looked for among the trust companies,
which are not so closely allied. Conserva
tive bsnkers In New York who keep a close
watch upon the trend of events are not ex
actly satisfied with the plan of Secretary
Shaw to permit the bankers to ignore the
IB per cent reserve clause In regard to gov
ernment deposits. While the government
Is fully protected aa far as its deposits are
concerned, by reason of the bonda deposited
with the treasurer by the bankers, the
commercial depositors are not so well pro
tected as when the government deposit Is
taken into account In making the reserve.
These conservative bankers say the secre
tary has played his last card in the Inter
ests of extending the credit of tbe banks
and If worae times come he is unable to do
more, so they question the expediency of
waiving the reserve clause at this time.
Independent of Blew York.
"Aa .far as I can learn, western bank
ers are far more Independent of New York
than they have ever been before. We have
enough money to care for legjtlmate busi
ness and none for speculative enterprises,
which, however, do not exist to any extent
in this part of the country. New York
could not help us If we needed help, so
we have to stand on our own resources.
it is fortunate for us that those resources
arP iante Bl they are at this time, as
practically every bank must stand by Itself
and protect lta own business. So far as
the west is concerned the banks were
never In better condition to show their
strength never were as strong. A crisis
in New York would have less effect today
than It would have had at any other
time. Western deposits In New York are
comparatively large. When we went Into
the fall season of activity those deposits
were generally larger, but they have been
reduced.
"As a general thing the western banker
Is afraid of New York securities and while
there are some good securities which are
calling for money from any source, the
western hanker has not the time nor tbo
desire to investigate those securities and
select the good from the bad. As long
as present opportunities continue for the
investment of money In western securi
ties, which he knows are all right, he will
not attempt to select the good from the
bad, but will let them all alone."
INJURED BY FALLING TIMBER
Unidentified Man Lies I'nconsclona

A workman employed on the new build
