STIR IN BOARD OF EDUCATION
Member (iornis Alleaea Defective
Work la Done on Pierce
Street School.
Member Gorman occupied a large portion
of the time of the Board of Education last
night calling attention to what In hit opin
ion were serious defects in the conitruc
tlon of the new addition to the Pierre Street
school building. He read a lengthy detailed
report from stenographic notes taken by
him on a recent inspection of the building
and insisted that' the alleged faulty con
struction of the building and the Interior
work was a grave reflection on the commit
tee on grounds and buildings and the
board's architects, Messrs. Cox ft Bchoent
gen, which led to a vigorous protest from
Chairman Ccoper of the committee on
buildings and grounds, who resented the
charge made by Member Gorman. It was
explained that all of the defects alleged
hy Member Gorman could be easily reme
died and that the contractor had been,
notified to make the necessary alterations
to comply with the specifications. Archi
tect Cox also reaented the charge made
agalnat him by Mr. Gorman and explained
that the use of old material to lessen the
expense was responsible to a great extent
for the seemingly poor work on the In
terior. The board declined to take any ac
tion In the matter until the architects file
their final report approving the payment
of the last estimate.
The committee to which the matter of
flreescapes had been entruated reported
through Member Cooper that contracts for
the erection of spiral stairway escapes had
been let to J. C. Blxby ft Bon for (295 for
the Bloomer school and $285 for the High
school building. On the recommendation of
the committee the secretary was Instructed
to advertise for blda for a spiral flreescape
for the Washington Avenue school building.
Member Gorman suggested a plan for dis
infecting all the pencils, blocks and other
material used in the kindergartens as a
preventative against the spread of diph
theria. He gave it as his opinion that the
disinfection ought to be done at least once
a week. The board failed, however, to take
any action.
F. P. Wright of the Carbon Ccal company,
which has the contract for supplying the
schools with coal, reported that be ex
pected a shipment of five cars to reach
here in a day or two which would keep the
schools going for two or three weeks. He
attributed the lack of coal to the failure of
the railroads to supply cars and stated that
his company had for the last three weeks
refused to sell to private customers and
was using all the coal it could secure to
supply Its public contrscta.
The resignation of Miss Mary Hart, a
teacher in the Third Street school, wss sc
oepted and Miss Nellie Jacobs of the
Bloomer school assigned to her place. Miss
Hardin, principal of the Bloomer school,
and Miss Myers, principal of the Twen
tieth Avenue school, who hsve been In ad
dition to their duties as principals of two
of the largest schools in the city been
teaching half a day. naked that they be
relieved from teaching and in return were
willing to accept the lesser salary of prin
cipal alone. They gave as their reasons
that the double work was too great a strain
on them and the board granted their re
quest.

nection with a girl who died at Crofford's
sanitarium at Lamonl. The court deliv
ered a number of decisions. In the cast?
from Sioux City, that of Smith against the
City of Sioux City, a Judgment cf $6,000 for
personal Injuries was sustain' d by thn
court. This was an injury by falling on a
defective sidewalk and the city had ap
pealed because It was said the judgment
was excessive. In tho case of Saar against
the Chicago, Burlington ft Kansas City
Railway, from Van Buren county, a verdict
for the plaintiff for $250 had been given by
a Jury on account of a cow killed by a
train, but Judge Fee bad set this aside, and
the supreme court declares that he had no
warrant for so doing. The following are
the court's decisions:
O. W. Swan, sppellant, against W. J.
Davenport; I'nlon county. Judge Tedford;
opinion by Bishop; affirmed.

examination for Lawyers.
The supreme court this morning ad
mitted to practice .on certificates Lewis
A. Smyers, from Illinois, and Seth H. Sil
ver, formerly of Wisconsin, There will be
no examination of a class by the bar com
missions during this term of the court, as
the bar examinations have all been put
off until the early spring term, when the
examinations may be made to Include the
graduates of law schools. The bar com
mission has made a rule that where appli
cants have not possessed themselves of high
school certificates of bachelor's degrees in
college, they shall be required to take an
examination In high school branches, pre
liminary to tho taking of the examination.
This has caused sharp criticism from some
scources, but It is explained that because
some of the law ehools admit persons to
their classes without examination, the rule
Is necessary. The number of those taking
these examinations' is 'likely to be small
tor several years' as the new law now re
quires three years" in a law school.

QUAY WANTS IMMEDIATE VOTE
Says Debate on Statehood mil Is
Merely for Psrpoie of De
laying; Measure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. In the senate
today Mr. Bailey (Tex.) continued hts policy
of objecting to the taking up of bills by
unanimous consent.
As soon ss the routine business was
disposed of the senate conaidercd the leg
islative, executive and Judicial appropria
tion bill.
The committee amendments were agreed
to without division and as amended the bill
was passed.
The statehood bill then was taken up.
Mr. Beverldge (Ind.) had begun to speak,
when Mr. Quay (Pa.) demanded a vote.
"Before any other senator has a chance,
to talk on this bill?" asked Mr. Beverldge.
"Yes. I don't care whether another
person speaks on the bill or not. I am pre
pared for a vote now," replied Mr. Quay.
Mr. Beverldge opposed the suggestion.
"The bill is being willfully obstructed
by discussion," said Mr. Quay, "and no
one knows tfiat better than the senator
from Indiana." '
Mr. Beverldge responded by saying that
the thing to do waa to find out who really
wss obstructing.
"We will discover that by a vote," re
torted Mr. Quay.
Mr. Beverldge said It was the same old
argument, "We have ' the votes and are
ready to go ahead." '
Mr. Quay interrupted with a proposi
tion that unanimous consent be given for
a vote on the bill on Saturday, the 24th
instant.
Mr. Beverldge showed some Irritation at
the interruption, saying it wss hardly per
tinent to the point he was discussing. ,
"Ths senator from Pennsylvania," said
Mr. Beverldge, "has secured pledges and
has surrounded himself with a corps so
Impervious to the assaults of reason that
he proposes to rush the bill through."
"The statement of the senator from In
diana," said Mr. Quay, "la false." Which
he later corrected to "untrue."
Mr. Beverldge characterized Mr. Quay's
use cf the words "willful obstruction" as
audacious, "because," he said, "Mr. Quay
had announced that unless he got what bo
demanded needful legislation would be side
tracked."
Mr. Beverldge then proceeded to discuss
the bill, favoring Joint statehood for Okla
homa and Indian Territory.
Mr.' Quay, asked consent to have a vote
taken January 24, January 29, February 4,
February 10 or February 16, to all of which
Mr. Beverldge objected.
Mr. Quay then gave notice that tomor
row, at the close of the morning business,
he would move to take up the statehood
bill and might ask a recession until some
agreement was reached.
Mr. Hanna (O.) spoke In opposition to a
statehood for Oklahoma, Arizona and New
Mexico.
At 4:30 the senate went into executive
session and a few minutes later adjourned.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The h'us tl.iy
passed the Distrht of Cciumll:i appropria
tion bill and began conller.il inn of the
Philippines nil mi go bill. The gencint do
hate on the dlstrli-f bill waa large y devoted
to discussion cf the Al; ska houi-..,ary line
ilifpute. ,
Mr. Cochran (Mo.) denounced the course
taken hy the state department as "a cow
ardly surrender."
Mr. Hepburn (la.) took u;i the ihallenge
and alleged that democratic administra
tions had surrendered the territory between
latitudes 4 Mid i4 4n, anJ a'.so the republic
of Texan.
t.lrl Joins Debute.
While Mr. Cochran wan speaking of the
"truckling policy of Ihe Cnlted States to
Great Britain," a tiyllshly tires cd young
woman in the gallery leaned forward and
tried out, "You lie!" he Ihen left the
gallery.
The genernl debate on tho District of
Columbia appropriation bill, which was
postponed until today, was devoted to a
discussion of general topics.
Mr. Shrppard (Trx.) talked of trusts, us
ing exceedingly strong language in his de
nunciation of the existing condition of af
fairs. Ho ridiculed President Roosevelt's
anti-trust campaign, declaring that in view
of his performances, his Minneapolis speech
wss a "disheartening mockery." "To call
him the anti-trust candidate for 1904," be
said, "was the most colossal Jest of the
time." Mr. Sheppard also denounced John
D. Rockefeller and J. Plerpont Morgan.
Mr. Cochran (Mo.) discussed the Alaskan
boundary dispute, criticizing severely "the
surrender to England," which he termed
"cowardly snd pusillanimous,"
"How about the surrender under a demo
cratic administration of the territory be
tween latitude 49 and S4:40?" asked Mr.
Hepburn.
"That was in the period of our weak
ness." replied Mr. Cochran, "when the fear
of the result of war with England bore
heavily upon public men. Now, In the time
of our strength, we supinely permit an
other land grab by the same land-grabbing
country."
Hepburn Makes Reply.
Mr. Hepburn, replying to Mr. Cochran,
went back to the history of the "democratic
surrer.dc-r" of Oregon.
"Was not Daniel Webster secretary of
state when the negotiations for the sur
render were arranged and had not a whig
administration succeeded, owing to the
death of a democratic president?" asked
Mr. Cochran.
"James Buchanan negotiated the treaty,"
responded Mr. Hepburn; "Mr. Tolk ap
proved it and a democratic senate ratified
It. Now the gentleman whose party sur
rendered a territory in the north equal to
eight states and the empire of Texas in the
south, denounces as "tho crime of the cen
tury the possible surrender of a narrow
strip of territory way up at the 60th paral
lel of latitude."
Something of a stir was occasioned Just
before Mr. Cochran concluded by an unex
pected Interruption from the ladles' gal
lery. Mr. Cochran was speaking of the
"policy of the United States to Great
Britain." "When that truckling ceased," he
declared, "the people of Canada, now in
tensely loyal to England, would change
their attitude."
"You lie," cried a stylishly dressed young
woman, in clear, ringing tones. All eyes
wero turned to the ladles' gallery, where
the speaker leaned forward defiantly, as
If she intended, to say something further.
But a companion pulled her back and Im
mediately after she left the gallery.
Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) also participated In
the debate concerning the Alaakan boundary
line, maintaining that there was no doubt
of the title of the United States to the
disputed territory.
Without substantial amendment the bill
was adopted.
The house then took up the Philippines
currency bill. Mr. Cooper (Wis.) Insisted
on sn explanation of the measure and had
not concluded when the house adjourned.

That l.irge class of prnplp who como

Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerading

Dyspepsia in all Its many forms is simply
a failure of the stomach to digest food
