can Revolution made by tne recent conti
nental congress compels ail state regents
to live In the state they represent or resign
their office. For some time past the regents
of several states have resided In Washing
ton. One reason assigned for this arrange'
ment was that the regent could attend, all
the national board meetings in Washington
and keep her chapters In touch with pro
ceedings of the national organisation. The
amendment passed by a big majority and
the president general ruled that It should
go Into effect Immediately. This ruled off
the floor several vice regents who had gone
to the meeting expecting to represent their
chapters as usual. "
The following adjustment of the Montana
difficulty was reported through the board:
1. We find upon investigation that the con
tent of the legality of the election of the
Montana slate officers .was not.ims.de as
ine request ni any chapter in Montana..
imi saia election at tne fourteenth
continental congress was conducted In a
legal anu proper manner. .
3. That the officers elected were those whs
had prior to the congress received the en
dorxeinent of the majority of the eligible
votes of thn Montana state delegation to
mat congress.
We therefore recommend that the record
ing secretary general Incorporate these
statements in tn report to the fifteenth

The most Important ef the severs! meet
ings last night was that of the fire and
police commissioners. The commission took
up the protests which still remained en
file. The Bee's protest against John Car
veny wss withdrswn and that of The Bee
against Herman Anger was continued, as
were the cases of Emll Hansen, Nels Lund
gren, Patrick Hannigan and Alexander
Graht. These protests will be given a
hearing May I.
The board then took up the. question of
granting licenses to all men against whom
there was not protest or other objection.
Blxty-clglit licenses were issued. Twenty-
four hsve already been published. The
remaining licenses were granted, SS fol

The last four of the above list were taken
up specially for the reason that there were
police records against themen. They
were disposed of -y- the solemn promise
of the licensees to abide by the rules of
the board. Barny Cog-an was specially
charged by the police board that his Udensa
would be cancelled at once If he should
be brought up for any further offenses,
O. W. Tlerny became sponsor for the good
conduct of the place, and with the' under
standing that the first offense would d
prlve him Of the license Cogan was allowed
to continue business. '
The case of Peter Uvlek came up and his
license wss promptly denied on the ground
that he was not a man of good moral
character, t'vlek has been up time and
again' In police ' court for breaches of the
law and disorder. He made the charge
against the chief that the latter had a
grudge against him snd had repeatedly
threatened to run him out of business.
Turning to the chief he said dramatically:
"What kind of a man are you? Would you
run a poor old man back to the packing
houses T"
The chief said "Tea, that's where you be
long." At this point the board demanded
order and Uvlck made his departure. The
chief gave him atrlct orders to close up
at 12 o'clock last night. . .
In the cases which are still under pro
test the board made a special ruling allow
Ing them to keep open pending the decision
ot the cases, since their bonds were filed,
There was nothing te Indicate the least

The city council held a brief session last
night, cutting all business short to make
way for the meeting of the '.Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners. The . general
salaries for the latter 'half of the month
of April were allowed and the police and
fire salaries for the full month.
The bids en the bond Issue were opened.
and it was then discovered thst there was
only one bidder on the market. This was
W. J. Hayes A Bona of Cleveland, O. They
offered par for the bonds with a premium
of 318 and agreed to pay for the printing
of the bonds and io pay the accrued In
terest. The bonds were to be Issued In
blocks of 150, one such block to be taken
up each month. A communication was also
received from Hoehler A Cummlngs of
Toledo, O., which stated that if the propo
sition of the bidders should not be satis
factory ' they would make a proposition.
No bid wss offered. The bid was referred
to the proper committee. The council then
adjourned until tonight.
It was plain that the council was dis
appointed at the bid of the bond company,
It being the least thst the Bouth Omaha
securities hsve ever commanded In the
way of premiums. The city hal site bonds
commanded nearly M00 on an issue of
170,000. a representative of Hoehler Cum
mlngs was present and he made the ex
planation of the ' situation to the effect
that the money market wss very stringent
in the east, and especially since the Ban
Francisco disaster. He expressed his opin
ion that Bourn Omaha had received a re
markably good bid and practically that
his company would not be able to make
a better offer. The Issue of the bonds was
well advertised In all the prominent finan
cial papers of the east.
Dlaeaaa Hlsjk Schaet.
The faculty of the Bouth Omaha schools
grappled with the question ot ths status
of the so-called high school fraternity
yesterday morning. A mass meeting of
the students wss called at the usual time of
the morning assembly. The faculty pre
sented Its side of the question. The ma,
Jortty Is decidedly opposed to the fraternity
notion. At beet they are considered a re.
flection or Imitation of the better known
Greek letter fraternities of the universities.
As the conditions developed here It may
be that the authorities will forbid the stu
dents joining any such orders, aa has been
done In many other cities. In the meeting
yesterday nothing mora than an unfavor
able opinion was expressed, with a possible
hint of sterner measures. Several regula
tlona were laid down, however, to restrict
the Influence of these societies. The prtn
clpal one was that no one could hold office
In a class organisation nor In a student
society who was in any way deficient In any
of hia studies, nor was It permitted any
student whose Work was deficient to attend
any functions of his class or his society
until such deficiency was made good.
The students declare that their clubs and
other organisations are not in any strtot
sense a fraternity and some are Inclined to
look askance at the regulations of the
faculty. I These clubs have sprung Into
existence within the -last three months la
Bouth Omaha. Beveral ef them are now
thoroughly organised.

were Inadequate In some psrts of town to

were flooded and great volumes of back
