Matter of Mors Boom for Echco'i ii Now
Under D Reunion.
BOND ISSUE TO BUILD HIGH SCHOOL
Mf1lg of Taxpayers Called for To
night to Consider the Matter
and Take Action to Guide
the School Board.
This evening at the High achool building
meeting of taxpayer and others Inter
ested In the public schools will be held for
the purpoie of discussing the matter of
more school room. The question as to the
advisability of voting bonds for a new high
school or for one or more ward schools
will be discussed. In nearly every portion
of the city there Is a demand for more
school room and the present board desires
to secure te opinion of prominent oltlzen
before taking any action. Should It be de
sired to issue bonds for the erection of a
high school building on the Hoctor site,
the proposition could be submitted to the
people at the same time the sewer and
city bull bond question comes up. To com
plete the proposed high school according
to the plans already drawn and accepted
by the board will take In the neighborhood
of $100,000. The school district owns a
half block of property, purchased for a
high school some time ago. In every way
the site la considered a fine one and as the
location Is central It Is possible that it will
be deemed advisable to go ahead and sub
mit the question of voting bonds to the
people at the coming special election. At
the present time the school district la not
. ,bonded. A large attendance Is expected at
' .the meeting to be held tonight.
Rraovlns Old Balldlnsjs.
City Engineer Beal. who la acting build
ing Inspector, has., tinder direction of the
mayor had council, ordered a number ot
old frame buildings la the business portion
of the city condemned. Three old shells
which have stood In the alley In the. rear
ot the city hall building for yearslare being
torn down. These houses have been occu
pied by colored folks who did not like the
Idea of moving. Yesterday one of the fam
ilies locked the door of the house and re
fused to move out when directed to do so
by the wreckers. A delay of perhaps five
minutes followed, when the wreckers went
to work tearing the roof off the bouse.
The rapidity with which the furniture was
carried out of the house was a sight worth
seeing. Before night all that remained ot
the ahack waa a hole In the ground and a
lot of tin cans. When these three houses
are wrecked the cellars will be. filled by
grading down the pile of dirt directly north
of the rear ot the olty hall building. The
work of tearing down dilapidated, frame
buildings inside the fire limits will be
carried on for some time.
Extending Street Car flerviee.
Material for the extension of the Albright
street car line Is being hauled here by the
motor company from Omaha. Already poles,
ties and rails are on the ground. The Una
la to be extended aa aoon as possible from
its present terminus to the Sarpy county
line. This will mean the laying of about
half a mile of track. For a long time
people living In the southeastern part ot
the city have been clamoring for an exten
aion ot the line to the southern city limits.
When the attention of President Murphy
was railed to the matter by the Southeast
Improvement club he Immediately gave di
rections that the extension of the line be
made. Now that the car line to the city
limits Is assured the people ot Albright are
anxloua to have 6outh Twenty-fourth street

RICHARDSON FEELS PLEASED
Believes Good Boada Convention at St.
Loals Will Have Substan
tial Results.
R. W, Richardson, secretary ot the Na
tional Good Roads association, has re
turned to Omaha from St. Louie, where
he attended the national and international
good roads convention. He will remain in
the city two or three weeks and will then
take up the work of the association at
headquarters.
"The convention did much for the ad
vancement of the policy of constructing
good roads, both In the United States and
Canada." said Mr. Richardson. "We had
with us prominent men from both coun
tries, and with them the prealdent of the
United States and the general command
ing the army. There were expert road
makers and men Interested In the move
ment from economic and Industrial stand
points. The paper were practical and
those present seemed to be enthusiastic in
the movement.
"I think that the convention will awaken
In every community an Increased Interest
In the subject of good roada and that when
the next convention Is held there will be
shown practical results from the last."

LeavlDg Hiawatha happy
With the nlcht and Minnehaha.
String and wood and brass diminishing to
an end the postludo ot the "Hiawatha"
music concluded the first concert ot the
Ak-Sar-Ben May festival so successfully
Inaugurated in the Coliseum last evening.
The large audience of Omaha's music loving
cltizena broke Into applause which well
expressed their appreciation of the mualcal
treat which had been prepared for them;
cries of "Kelly! Kelly!" came from aU
parte of the hall, and when shortly Mr.
Kelly came upon the stage bowing his
acknowledgements to musicians and audi
ence he was greeted by a volume ot acclaim
which brought the color to bia cheeka.
Those present realised that the Idea of
these concerts wss largely Mr. Kelly's and
lta development through long continued
effort and drilling due to him.
When Conductor Adolph Rosenbecker gave
the Initial wave of his bat on. for "Dl Ballo
overture, which began the program, fully
4,000 people were In their aeats. The
music ot Sullivan rose and hastened and
paused, broke Into crescendo or diminished
to a sound with the easy precision ot tone
and technique possible from professional
musicians of high class. Intelligently led
Mr. Rosenbecker does not rank as a spec
tacle with Creatoro and as a leader does
not fill the eye; he lifts the notes from
the score with his baton and pokes them
out to base or alto or the brass wing or
the strings with methodical and business
like directness and never a graceful If
somewhat immaterial flourish. The last
number of the first part waa also an or
chestra piece, "Irish Rhapsody, No. 1," and
was most gratifying to the lovera ot instru
mental music.
The soloists ot the evening were artists
on their respective Instruments, each re
ceiving hearty applause Mr. Hamlin per
haps the most Insistent, not Improbably
because many listeners prefer the voice to
violin or piano. Mr, Van Oordt displayed
technique most satisfying and a breadth
and correctness of tone in kind. He alone
responded to an encore. Mr. - Seeboeck
played two difficult concerto movements of
hie own composition, and Mr. Hamlin sang
the beautiful "Prize Song" from "Die Mels
tersinger," and later gave the "Hiawatha"
solo. His Is an even and flexible tenor
which he uses artistically. He was best
pleasing, perhaps, In his first number.
The most interesting part of the pro
gram, because of local talent, was the can
tata. "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," which
occupied the second part ot the evening,
being sung by the Festival choir ot 150
voices, all ot this city, which has been
drilled by Mr. Kelly. The chorus did as
well aa anyone had expected, and that Is
saying perhaps enough, as those who have
had the pleasure of hearing, rehearsals
looked for much. There was none ot the
backing and filling or tenuous uncertain
ties -common to amateur choruses; but pre
cision, volume and taste. Mr." Taylor has
striven so conscientiously to make the
music characteristic matching tone with
Indian verse that he has departed from
the usual and therefore perhaps a little
from . popularity. . The orchestral accom
paniment la graphic, especially In the first
movement, where basses, basoons, French
horns and kettle drums make delightfully
apparent the fancy of Mr. Taylor.

SCHOOL CHILDREN STRIKE
Hero Lads Demand Shorter Honrs at
the Holy Family Insti
tution. Oh, dreadful days! Even the school chil
dren are striking. Eleven took the Initial
step at the Holy Family parochial school
last Friday to secure shorter hours and now
It is said that at the Kellom graded school
a walk out is threatened If one of the
teachers Is not removed, while at still
another a plan Is hatching for a' similar
action It one class Is not conceded a reduc
tion of the spelling lesson from a pags to
a halt page and total abandonment of that
ever-boring study, grammar. Evidently
"strlkltls infantum" will have to be
catalogued hereafter as among the possible
epidemics ot the young.
The strike at the Holy Family church
school. Eighteenth and Izard, was a dis
tinctly businesslike affair. The school
has about fifty pupils, half of whom are
boys.
Last Friday morning there was a general
secret conference and It was derided that
school hours should be from :80 to Jl:44
Instead of from 9 to 12, and 1:15 to 3 In
stead of 1 to 1:30. Accordingly the boys
left the school st noon and agreed not to
return until their demand was granted.
For certain very urgent reasons some of
them who had grown communicative at
the dinner table changed their minds and
started back about 12:45. Eleven ot the
others, however, some no older than 8
years, had kept mum and stood firm. As
the weskened ones came along the strikers
waylaid them and used much suasion, moral
and otherwise. On Francis Warren they
used ao much suasion of the "otherwise"
brand that Francis suffered something
worse than mere embarrassment. It is
said, too, that others fared acarcely better
and that the girls, while too genteel to
strike with the boys, made things generally
unpleasant outside the school grounds by
designating as "scabs" those lads who re
turned. The whole affair had been ao quiet and
far removed from the school that up to this
time Father Fltxpatrlck and the alaters
were In Ignorance ot the sudden outbreak.
In the course of the afternoon, however,
they received shocking enlightenment, for
there arrived a very yoifog minister extra
ordinary and ambassador plenipotentiary
who presented the demsnds of the strikers
to 81ster Mary Bonaventure with much
solemnity and pomp, aud requested an Im
mediate answer. Hs got It. Ths slsttr
sent bark word that the strikers could re
main out If they saw fit, but that after
their return there would be other striking
of a very different variety. After that the
Juveniles deemed It tx-st to stsy away for
the rest of the day, anyhow.
In the evening those aho bad not struck
felt a certain well-defined timidity about
venturing out of their bouses. George
Bowler of North Nineteenth waa requested
by bis mother to go to a neighborhood gro
cery store and demurred so vehemently
thst she began an Investigation. After that
It wasn't long before the whole locality
began learning things It didn't know, and
when the school opened Monday every,
striker went bark to school some accom
panied by parents, who seemed cheerfully
willing to have stern Justice administered
where stern Justice would naturally be ap
plied. But the school did nothing because the
city truant officer waa there and threatened
to carry all the atrlkers off to Jail. The
missionary priests, instead of applying the
rod, busied themselves with dtssusdlng the
minion of the lsw, and by the time he was
calmed the boys were sufficiently alarmed
to resume work In meek submission to any
old scale ot hours ths teachers might see
tit to adopt. Since then there has been no
trouble at that school, and as the other
threatened strikes are only In embryo and
as the teachers have had timely warning, It
Is probable that the buds rsn be frosted
before they blossom Into real trouble. But
symptoms of "strlkltls infantum" are to
be watched for very carefully hereafter by
all Omaha teachers, and a warning sounded
upon the appearance of any aymptom of an
outbreak. .
SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS
Arrangements Made to Hold Monthly
Meetings at the rreseat
Quarters.
The 8eventh Ward Republican club held
a meeting at Its hall on Leavenworth street
last night tor the purpose of winding up
the affairs of the campaign. Funds were
raised for the purpose ot discharging all
obligations of the organization, and It was
decided to rent the present quarters for a
year, to be sure of their use next fall.
After the business was transacted short
talks were made by B. F. Thomas and M.
J. Greevy, telling about how the campaign
waa fought and won. Several members re
lsted amusing Incidents of election day In
which members of the club and the opposi
tion were Involved.
The next meeting will be held the first
Thursday evening tn June, at which time
addresses will probably be delivered by E.
J. Cornish. Judge Brka and others upon
political questions, and monthly meetings
will continue until the beginning of the
fall campaign.

Affr.lr.
The Et-a-VIrp club danced last night at
Chambers' academy. But this bare state
ment scarcely tells the whole story. The
club danced under a net of flower-laden
ropes and betwaen walls and pillars that
were almost hidden by the profusion of
delicately-tinted bunting and equally dell-cately-tlnted
blossoms. The entire acad
emy waa festooned and garlanded out of all
semblance with itself and presented an
aspect of true May-day prettlness. Forty
five of the forty-nine young men who con
stitute the fclub were present with their
ladles to dance under the flowers and lan
terns, to lunch In the numerous cozy cor
ners and to revel . In the beauty of the
scene. The floor committee comprised Ed
ward A. Knapp, W. W. Coon, James Corr,
Clarence May and William Sinclair.

WHAT CONSUL SEES ABROAD
Major Church Howe Talks of Hit Service in

INTERESTS AND PEOPLE COMPARED
I'nlted States gtaaas High vrlta the
European Nations and II Espe
cially Admired by the
English.
Major Church Howe of Auburn, Neb., and
United States consul at Sheffield,. England,
la In the city In attendance at the meeting
ot the Nebraska commandery of the Loyal
Legion. Mr. Howe Is in robust health and
looks rugged and tanned. Indicating that
his six years abroad has thoroughly agreed
with him.
"I arrived In New York a week ago Sat
urday aad - reached home a week ago
Wednesday," said he. "I came to Omaha
to attend the meeting of the Loyal Legion,
t am out of politics entirely and am glad
of It. I expect to remain until about
June 1. The consulate at Palermo, Sicily,
was a most delightful one, as all things
Italian are. My present consulship at
Sheffield, which is one of the most Im
portant In England, Is among a different
class of people and entirely different In
terests from Italy.
"In Italy the commercial interests are
largely dependent on fruits, while those
of England are manufacturing. Sheffield
Is, as you know, one of the great manu
facturing centera of the world. Strange
as It may seem, large quantities of Sheffield
steel are shipped to the United States.
Not that It Is any better than the Amer
ican product, but because of the reputation
It has among all classes of manufacturers
all over the world.
Eaa-Iand'a Admiration for America.
"The kindly sentiment for Americans
In England la constantly growing and Is
bound to endure permanently. The old
Idea that the American government was but
an experiment has long since vaniahed in
England, and we have no greater admlrera
In all Europe than among the commercial
and manufacturing people ot England. -
"Since the Spanish-American war the
United 8tatea has sprung to the very
highest pinnacle of esteem throughout all
Europe. They recognise the wonderful en
terprise and boundless wealth and pros
perity of the American people, ana no
longer look upon us as barbarlana or simply
a race of ahopkeepers. They have a pro
found reverence for the wealth and liber
ality of American travelers, and seek them
out In preference to the less liberal trav
elers ot other nations.
"This sentiment Is particularly accentu
ated In Italy. It was my pleasure to be
come well acquainted with Italy great
premier, Signer Crlspi. and In conversa
tions with him he alwaya expressed his
unbounded admiration for America and Its
institutions. I also got to know the new
king. Emmanuel III. quite well; more par
ticularly when he was prince of Naples. I
think him one of the brightest and most
progressive of European monarcha. It Is
not generally known that be waa at one
time a student of our own great Inventor
and electrician, Thomas A. Edison. He
wss a simple but very observant and la-
telllcent workman In Edison's laboratory.
and the practical knowledge he gained
there he Industriously applied on Bis re
turn to Italy and Installed a very complete
electrical system In the royal palace at
Rome. He ts very populsr with the people
and Is rapidly pushing Italy to the front.
Hs has already reduoed the taxation mate
rially and Is laboring diligently and faith
fully for the upbuilding of Italy.
"The Italian people are very much mis
understood. Thsy are universally patriotla
and have a profound reverence for the tra
ditions of Italy and Rome, and still deem
themselves the Romans of ths old, vigorous
type that conquered the world and set the
pace of clvlllxatlon for all time. They are
generally of a fine physique and of broad
Intelligence and will again some day take
their place among the foremost rsnks of
Europe. They are Invariably loyal to Italy.
Even when as children they emigrate to
America It is with loyal eagerness that thsy
subscribe to gn agreement to return to
Italy and serve their four yesrs in the
army, and almost invariably carry out the
agreement. They look with contempt upon
such of their fellows as do not serve the
prescribed term In the army and believe
It a aaered duty to devote the four years
of their lives to the military service of
Italy.
"The Italians are not meat eaters to any
great extent. They Incline more to frutta,
and nowhere in the world dees fruit grow
tn greater luxurlousness than In Italy."

The play la one the company appears par
