LIVELY DEBATE N BOARD OVER MATTER
Independent Forres Are Oat in the
Merlins:, hot the Deal People
Iteniala Away Plantain
to Be Inspected.
President F. J. Day of the Independent
Telephone company had his force well
lind up at the meeting of the Hoard of
Education lait night and succeeded In frus
trating the attempt to reinstate the Boll
telephone In the superintendent's and prin
cipal's offices In the high school building.
With President Day were E. H. Merrlam,
vice president of the company : F. H. Keys,
W. H. Kimball, Dr. H. B. Jennings, di
rectors, C. A. Laubach, general manager;
and F. H. Shoemaker, the company's chief
solicitor. The Neb.aska Telephone cump.ny
was not represented.
The matter was brought liefnre the meet-
Ing by Member Shugart, as chairman of
the committee on Janitors and supplies, to
which It had been referred, who recom-
n. ended that the resolution calling for tha
replacing of the Bell 'phones In the school
building be laid on the table. The report
of the committee was concurred Irt "without
dlsacnt and then Member Csoper moved
that a Nebraska Telephone company's
'phone be installed In the office of the su
perintendent with extension to tha office
of the principal. The motion was promptly
Seconded by Member Echoedsack and the
question was then thrown open for dis
cussion. " ' "
Member Hess lead the opposition with a
statement that he did not believe It fair
I Mr. Hess, is one of the stockholder of
i the Independent company, declared his 0b-
jectlons were based on the same grounds
as those of Mr. Hess. Ho contended that
there was no demand for a Bell 'phone In
i the high school, as If there wus ho would
surely have known It. "I don't see why
we should go to work and punli ' theso
people." he said, meaning ths Nebraska
Telephone company.
Plan for Free 'Phones.
Member Tlnley declared himself In favor
of replacing the Bell telepnona In the high
school and superintendent's office as busi
ness proposition for the schools. Many
company took a part In the discussion.
Mr. Merriam suggested that the board
wait a little and then it would get the
'phone for' hothlng. and this President
Westerdahl declared was a good sugges
tion. "It is mors to the Bell people to
i have the phone lu here man it is to tne
school board.' he said.
At this point In the discussion1 Member
Tlnley moved as an amendment to Mr.
Cooper'e motion that Mr. Cooper be re
quested to' confer' with' the Nebraska
Telephone company and ascertain tf It
would not put in the 'phone in the superin
tendent's and principal's offices free. This
brought Mr. Merrlam to hlB feet again
with a protest. "That is not the way to
put It. Tell them you don't want it. Vote
It down light now. If you do this I wager
that within five days from now they will
come to you with a proposition to put In
the 'phone for nothing. That's the proper
way to go about It." he declared, with some
warmth.
Despite Mr. Merriam's protest, however.
Member Tlnley's amendment carried and
tho matter was dropped and President Day
and his cohorts filed out of the room, feel
ing satisfied that they had played another
trump card.
Too Mark for Boiler Insurance.
When the question of reinsuring the boil
ers at the Pierce street and North Eighth
street schools In the Hartford Boiler In
surance company came up Member Cooper
succeeded In having It referred to the com
mittee on fuel .ml heating to Investigate,

In the work ot preparation for the practi
cal application, ot the new law lilting the
tax when It shall go Into effect ths first of
the coming year. The process of dena- i
urlng, which consists of the addition of
ten gallons of wood alcohol and a half gal
lon of benr.lne to every hundred gallons of
the ethyl alcohol, seems to follow the Ger
man method quit closely, snd this Is
probably wise, because the Germans have
made a larger and more practical use of
this Industrial force than any other people.
This process will b carried out on the dis
tillery premises where sloohol is produced

Tn, department's estimate of ths price
of tne completely denatured product at so
rents a gallon seems rather high to ac
complish all the ends predicted from the
abolition of tha tax; still, even at that
flg-ure, the use to which It might be de
voted would be many times multiplied.
This would make It almost to per cent
cheaper than wood alcohol has been and is,

"It was conspicuous, then?"
The witness seemed pussled by the new
word. He repeated his former assertion.
"What 'Is the difference." sneered the
lawyer, "between plain and conspicuous?"
But he was hoist with his own petard.
The witness Innocently answered:
"I can see you plainly, sir, among the
other lawyers, though you are not a bit
conspicuous." ,
In another Instance a blow directed
against the character of a witness forcibly
recoiled.
"You were In the company of these peo

"Of two friends, sir."
"Friends! Two thieves, J suppose you
mean."
"That may be true." waa the dry retort:
"they are both lawyers."

adverse examination la occasionally more
