AfemlM-f Tlnlejr took the position that the public schools were not Intended for tluu purpose of teaching; foreigner the English language. This, he contended, they ' should lrarrv outside. A youth, of 11 years of age should ' not, he argued, be permitted In a class of little children to whom, of a necessity, the teacher had to be more than a mere Instructor. The presence of a youth of that ace waa embarrassing to such a teacher, he said. Young Hung, he said, was stated to be well .educated in h(a own language' and Mr. Tlnley contended that he should be required, to learn the English language before - being' -'admitted to the public schools, so that he could enter the grade suitable to his age and not bo In truded , among children just out of the nursery. - Likely to May fa School.

Young Hung is not likely to be deterred from continuing' his studies, as, on motion of Member Tln ley, the whole matter was referred to the teachers' -committee, of which Mr. Hess Is chairman.--.. By a vote of 4 to 3 it waa decided to rein to place a free telephone In the office of Superintendent Clifford in the high school with an extension to the office of Trlnrlpal Thomas. A petition signed by over 1 renidonts of that neighborhood asked that tho grounds of the Twentieth Avenue school be eon verted Into a public park. Th? grounds sre at rresent used as a cow pasture, It was slated. The board received the request fa vorably, and the committee on buildings and grounds was Instructed to confer with the park board to ascertain If the latter body would take care of the grounds If turned Into a public park. II. O. McVey, plumbing Inspector of Omaha, who made an examination of the toilet rooms In the bosement of the Bloomer school, presented a report.

Des Moines won the first heat In its suit to determine the status of the Dcs Moines Street Railway company and its fran chise rights when the supreme court this morning decided in Us favor on a demurrer from the dlstrjct court. On every point the court decided In favor of the city and the i Civic league, which started the suits. The ! action taken was a quo warranto pro i ceedings to determine what the rights of the street car company are. The com pany demurred to the action and asserted a quo warranto proceeding Has not regular and not legal in the case at Issue. The dis trict court decided that the proceeding was : proper and the supreme court affirmed It. I The Civic league in the first instance en deavored to Induce the county attorney to bring the action. He refused and the of ficers of the society as Individual citizens then Started the action, and later tho county I attorney decided to become a party to the suit.. ine eireei railway tuugni iu oust the officers of the Civic league and the district court decided In its favor. This the supreme court today reversed and the case will now go to court for trial on Its merits with the. citizens, the; county attorney and the city all parties to the suit. Deride for Amana Sorlety. The rights and privileges of the Amana Society of Iowa county to continue farm ing and manufacturing, though organized and Incorporated aa a religious society, was upheld by the supreme court today In the case appealed from Iowa county. The court holds that the society has not forfeited its rights under its Charter arid has a right to continue its existence. j The case is one of tho most important and interesting that has been before the court. On an application of Mrs. Martha Wilson to the district court of Iowa county, the county' attorney was directed to bring a proceeding to determine whether or not the society had forfeited its rights as a religious corporation by engaging in farming, stock raising and manufacturing. The society won in. the district court, and this doclslon is afflrrriod by the supremo court on the ground that the state has no right to interfere with the religious beliefs of its subjects. It Is' held that the society's belief Is that all property shall be held In common and its object in engaging In various lines of commercial activity Is merely for the support and sustenance of the members, With this the court refuses to Interfere.
