These suits are to be filed snorny after June 1. First a demand will be made on the board for the payment of the sal aries of the discharged men, and In case this should be refused suit Is to be started. It will be alleged that the men were die- charged without any charges having been filed or a trial of any sort. T. J. Nolan, a member of the police com mission, said last night to a Bee reporter that In his opinion the men discharged had no cause for action. "When this board took hold of affairs," said Mr. Nolan, "It directed that every member of theflre and police departments flle application for po sitions. In going over the applications the board rejected some. The board merely acted on the applications, and no trial wa necessary to remove any of the member of the department. "Those members of the departments whose applications have not been acted upon are merely acting members. In the case, of Chief Brlggs, he sign all of hi official papers a acting chief. In the case of members of the department appointed by the board It will b necessary to prefer charges and hsve a trial before an order for dismissal can be Issued." In conclusion Mr. Nolan stated that In the case of some of the member of the police department removed it would be better for them not to start anything, a the board I supposed to have evidence of Incompetency which would be brought out should th cases go to the courts.

McLean Want Addresses. superintendent McLean of the publlo schools is anxious to ascertain the name, address and occupation of every graduate of the South Omaha high school. Last evening Prof. McLean said: "I find that the records In the superintendent's office are Incomplete In respect to the name of the graduate of the high school. I should like to hav every graduate, wherever lo cated, send me name, address and occupa tion in order that a complete record may be made. In some Instances I find that pupils were allowed to graduate without taking the full course, permission to grad uate having been given upon the promise to return In the fall and finish the course. In several instances this promise to finish the course has not been kept. Members of the high school alumni are assisting t-roi. icLan in securing the names nf graduates. To Meet City Obligations.

To say that Omaha went wild with en thusiasm over the musical gems Which were offered, would be a mild description of 'the tumult of applause which greeted each number. The scene presented was one never to be forgotten. The stage picture, which In cluded the superb orchestra the Metropoli tan Opera House orchestra of New York backed by the chorua of over 160 people, the women gowned In soft white, the men In evening dress, behind that the national colors, blended with those of Ak-8ar-Ben, and above all the starry dome of electric lights truly a scene from fairyland. The orchestra opened the program with the old war horse, "Rleml" overture, In which the beautiful ensemble of that fine body of say sixty Instrumentalists wa well brought Into evidence. Mr. Due conducted In a most original manner. He I not what one would call an orthodox conductor, but he I magnetlo, h believe In action, and Uvea up to hi be lief. He might almost be termed the Sousa of the orchestral world at times. His baton s a conjurer' wand, and he swings It with flourishes galore. Monsieur d Resxke not being on hand when the second num ber waa called, Mr. Duss took occasion to give a most Interesting talk in connection with the "Bymphonle Pathetlque" of Tsch alkowsky. Mons. De Reszke, with his glorious voice and stage presence, his ar tistic tone-production, his ease of delivery and perfect enunciation, captivated the audience, which showered so much applause upon him that he gave the familiar old song, "The Palms." Thl, of course, cre ated a storm, which the good-hearted big basso responded to by singing the "Port er' Song" from "Martha," to piano ac companlment by Mr. Romayne Simmons. The movements from the "Bymphonle Pathetlque" were very Interesting to tha music-lovers, the first movement showing abundant color and variety of Instrumental tion, while the "Adagio Lamentoso ' was a fine example of broad, massive tone- as semblage, reminiscent Indeed In many pot of the Immortal "Largo" of Handel but none the worse for that. Madame Nordlca, America' American, and Art' artist par excellence, wa In troduced In the celebrated "Polonaise' from Ambrols Thomas' "Mlgnon," which showed oft her superb vocalisation, her magloal run, trill, staccatl, and mlracu lou octave Interval to the unbounded de light of the audience. Thla magnificent piece of work brought, of course, an ea core, with piano accompaniment, a Brahma aong. The Interpretation and general con cept of the song and the bewitching 'mexso voce" united In forming an art- pearl of varied' color and perfect sym metry. But this wa not enough. Another en core was demanded and most graciously given and again eh wa recalled several times to bow acknowledgement of the plaudltory tribute. The first part of th program closed with the three English Dances from the "Henry VIII" Incidental music by Edward Ger man, and showed - well the scintillating brilliancy of that . fascinating English composer of today, r This waa given line reading by Mr. Dusa, and th or chestra responded, ( course. In splendid styles granting alse an encore, "Loin du Bal.M by Olllet. rsat . The well known and devotional "Prelude' to "Lohengrin" openedi the second part, and was played with that Intelligent skill which characterized'-everything that wa don' by the orchestra. 'The religious emotion depicted as the "Holy Grail," or sacred chalice of the cross, descends, borne by angel and again' ascends, were faith fully portrayed. M. De Reszke sang the aria, "Infellce" of Verdi, that perennial old melodlou aria. HI vole wa mellow like old wine, and In the aria following which he graciously gave a an encore, the exquisite, elegant "To Scene of Peace" ot Mozart, hi tone wa magnificent. Following this he gra cloualy acknowledged the appreciation of the audience by singing the Serenade from Berlioz' "Damnation of Faust." But applause and more applause, and then the Serenade from Tschalkowsky' "Don Juan." All of these did Mona. De Reszke give with a free heart and gladly. Mr. Nahan Franko conducted the accompaniment last named with skill. The violin solo, prelude to "The Deluge, by Camilla St Saens was played with consummate finish by Mr. Franko. HI I a singing, sobbing, speaking tone, full of warmth, color and Intensity, For an encore the old familiar "Largo" of Handel proved most acceptable. Mr. Franko waa shown laat night that Omaha claim him yet as one of her sons. The "Inflammatu" from Rossini's "Btabat Mater" by Mm. Nordlca and the May Festival Choir, waa a great hit, and wa repeated In part. Mr. Dusa read a let ter from Mr. Kelly announcing that he had requested Mr. Franko to conduct thla number, as he himself was Indisposed, be ing in the nuiiding out tne victim or a bad attack of rheumatism. Mr. Franko conducted with accuracy and musicianship. The concert cloaed with the venerable Blue Danube Waltz." MILES PRAISES SOLDIERS Declares Philippine Atrocities fan'tof Tew Officers Men Tried to Oppose PRIVATE'S ABHORRENCE AN ARMY GLORY General Lands Refusal to Carry Oat Brntal Orders and Requests Mailed Home for Action to Stop Craelty. NEW YORK. May 15.-The Army and Navy Journal will print a letter from Gen eral Miles tomorrow In which he says he went to the Philippines In an official ca pacity and that his Instructions came from the president, who directed him to give peel a I attention to the Instruction, dis cipline and supplies, of the army. Coming to the subject of cruelties in the Philippines, General Miles' letter reads; It Is Idle to assume that campaigning In the PhillDnlnes has conditions that warrant resort to medieval cruelty and a departure from an honorable method ot conuuctlng warfare, and that such depredations should be overlooked and condonen. It is most arat fv Ina that the serious onenaes have not been committed by the soldiers unless under the direct orders of certain officers who were responsible. Sol diers have withheld fire when ordered to shoot prisoners, protested againat acts or cruelty and written to relatlvea at home urging them to take action to put a stop to these crimes. It will ever be one of the glories of the army that such deeds, ooin- initten ny wnaiever aumoriiy, are aunor rent to the American soldier. The officers who are responsmie 00 not hv anv means constitute the Amerlenn army and there must be an unmiatakabl line orawn neiween ine greai oouy 01 honorable and faithful officers and brave soldiers, whose records have been com mendable, and those of whatever station, whose acts have received and should re ceive the sternest condemnation of all honorable men.

We have done a great deal ot double-tracking and roadbed' work that places' our line In the most excellent condition and Insures for us the -most com plete success In undertaking the transpor tarion of the vast throngs that will be go ing back and forth between theae two great cities throughout the fair period.

Practically all the arrange ments for extra construction work mads necessary by the world's fair and most ot the actual work Is already done, but It I now the question of handling the crowds that Is commanding our attention. The crowds promise to be the greatest ever known in this country, and therefore the transportation question may be considered the biggest with which theae road ever have had to contend. But we feel jubilant over the prospect of coping with the situa tion. Everybody has gone to work In a way that Insures complete success. "The Alton' car and engine equipment la being materially Increased.' We now have fifty new passenger coaches In process of construction and a number of locomo tive.

It wa a delightful evening that we spent with old Mends at the weighton-Orpheum last night, and that word "old" goes Just as It lay, too. All of th stars of this now famous aggregation of funmakers and ridicule dispenser have been known here for lo, these many years; some have not been seen here for so long that one doesn't exactly care to fix the date, and other have been with u more recently, but none had outlived the memory of local ad mirers, and each received a cordial greet ing as he or she came on the stage last evening. Lillian Russell Is still the mag nificent type of American womanhood, so far aa visible charm are concerned, we have known for such a long time. In her personal appearance Is the most effective advertisement for physical culture known. She makes no bone of the fact that It Is from exercise alone that she derives the perpetual youth that seem to b her. Bhe never was much shakes a an actress, and her singing ability has never been such aa to endanger the reputation of the great tar of the operatic world, but she Is cer tainly good to look at Fay Templeton may her shadow decrease until It I only about half what It now la gives physical evidence of the lapse of time since she first sang her way into Omaha' heart; but with the maturity that follow In the wake of year ha come the ripen ing of an artlstlo instinct that Is now In Its fullest bloom, and which Justifies her recognition as the unquestioned leader In her line. Her voloe is still rich and reson ant, and musical in a high degree, and while her acting has lost Its girlish charm. It has .taken on th fuller and rounder lines of experience, and 1 therefor the more satisfactory. Louise Allen Is m Just what she haa always been, an extremely clever woman, and her burlesque of Mary MacLane is one of the most delightful things of the sort ever shown here. Of the men little need be said beyond the fact that each sustains his reputation. All are well known for their ability a comedians. In the Instance of Mr. Collier one Is pleased to notice that he shows the advance due to the careful schooling he ha had In the way of repression, and a consequent development of, ability. In the selection of a chorus the manager have been unusually happy, having secured bunch of girl with fresh looking face and sweet, clear voice and muscle that apparently never tire. At any rate, they hustle from first to last. There Isn't an Idle minute for them chorus girl, and on the stag there Is Something doing all the time.
