Prompted to precautionary action by the recent hotel disaster In Chicago and the enforced resignation of the building In spector of that city. Building Inspector Carter haa within the Inst few daya di rected hla attention very closely to the Are earape equipment of the hotels and other large building of this city. Not by any meana satisfied with conditions aa he found them, Mr. Carter notified the man agement of several of the hotels and one or two business house that the number of fire escapes on their buildings muet be Increased before January 1 or he will ap peal to the courts for enforcement of the precautions which he considers necessary. Discussing thin matter, Mr. Carter said: "In compliance with the state law and the ordinances of the city. C. E. Watson, deputy atste labor commissioner, and I made a thorough tour of this whole city for the purpose of Inspecting fire escapes on buildings where such protection la neceeaary and recommending such Im provements In that line as we might deem to be necessary. We found many buildings not sufficiently provided and recommended a number of new fire escapee, not only on hotels, but on flat buildings and business Bouses, where there are large numbers of employes. Inspector Will Be Visitant. "In reading of this Chicago disaster and the consequences to the building Inspector f that city I became convinced that I could not be too vigilant In this branch of the work and, although I knew our recom mendations had been carried out In moat Instances. I also feared that perhaps eome of th buildings were not even yet properly quipped. Yesterday I asked the chief of the Are department to go with me and we visited a number of the principal build ings, Including the larger hotels and, whllo wo found things generally In very satis factory condition, there are some few In stances where danger still exists. I And that the flat buildings and practically all of the business houses have been equipped as directed. There Is one large firm whose new building has not yet been furnished with fire escapes, but they are to be put on at once. "I have named January 1 as the date for the Improvements to be made, but In ome cases It may be impossible to have the work completed by that time. There fore I shall not be captious about It and tf I find that all diligence la being exercised to comply with the requirements I shall e satisfied. But if I should And that in any cases the responsible persona are try ing to evade what Is required of them by law I shall take the matter directly to the courts and prosecute to the fullest stent Omaha Theaters Safe. "I will say of our theaters that I believe them to be as well equipped with means of exit In case of Are as any In the coun try. The managers of the houses now In operation have cheerfully complied with II suggestions and have fully equipped their buildings with Are escapes and in my scrutiny of the plans of the theater bow being built that was one feature to Which I gave particular atentlon."

Member Horn a a of Rehmol Hoard Pre pares Bill for laeemlasr Legislature. W. R. Ilomsn of the Board of Education has prepared a bill to be presented to the legislature governing the rate of Interest on warrants Issued by school boards and also reducing the rate of Interest on stat and municipal bonds. In speaking of thi former feature of the bill Mr. Homan said: , "At the present time the school board of the city of Omaha Is by law compelled to psy 7 per cent Interest on the warrants which are Issued and cannot be paid on account of lack of funds. The average amount of these warrants outstanding at all times Is $100,000, which now according to law represents an outlay of $7,000 per year for Interest We have recently made an arrangement with the banks of the city by which they psy back to the school board 2 per cent, making the net cost to the board $5,000 per year. Under the pro posed law this will be the amount which the warrants will draw and no extra ar rangement will be necessary to bring the result. Omitting the formal parts the bill aa drsfted by Mr. Homan la aa follows: All warrants or orders hereafter Issued by the proper authorities of any county, city, township, school district, except school districts In metropolitan cities, or other municipal subdivisions less than a county, shall draw Interest from and after the date of presentation for payment at the rate of 7 per cent per annum. AH warrants or orders hereafter Issued by the pn.pef authority of any school district within the corporate limits of a metropoli an city shall draw interest from and after the date of presentation for payment at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. All warrants "hereafter issued by the Droner authorities of this state shall draw interest. at the rate of 4 per cent per annum from the date of their presentation for payment. No bonds hereafter leaned by any county, city, township, precinct or school district shall draw Interest at rate exceeding t per cent per annum.

(c REJECT COMPANY'S OFFER OF MORE PAY Unionist Says Men Are Unwilling to Sell Their Riant mm Cltlsens for Tw and Half Ceata avn Hoar, ' Thirty members were Initiated Into the Street Railway Employes' union Wednes day night, the largest number that has been taken in at one time since the institution of the union. According to the statement of one of the employes and an active promoter of the union, the large number Wednesday was a demonstration against the action of the officers of the company. He said: . "Wednesday John Cahill, an employe of the company, presented a paper to the non union employes by which It was agreed that in consideration of the fact that they would not Join the union they would be paid at the rate of 22 cents an hour. while the rate of wages now in force Is 20 cents an hour. The petition was pre sented on almost all of the line of the city and was signed by six or eight of the non union men. Cahill was told that If the work was worth 22 H cents an hour that rate should be paid, and If it were, not worth that sum the mep would not sign away their rights aa men for the addi tional 2Vt cents an hour. Late in the even ing Cahill reported to Superintendent Tucker, saying that it was of no use to try to disrupt the union, aa the men would not sign, even for the consideration offered. "The word was passed along among the boys, with the result that we decided to make the initiations Wednesday a record- breaking affair. We were to a slight de gree handicapped by the fact that a num ber of the nonunion men had already signed an agreement not to enter the union when they were given employment. But some had not signed the agreement and others conveniently forgot the terms, so that out of the thirty more than half ot them were, possibly, men who had at one time promised never to Join."
