10 TIIE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1908. HOVE TO OUST PARR BOARD Petition Circulated by Certain Bnii- nets Hen for New Commisiion. CLAIM LAW 13 NOT DULY MET Mra Itralad tfca sfcMa CM Law Ileojartrlasr District Jifcn to AppAtai MeaslMrs aa4 Nat Circulating a petition asking- that th old eharter provision specifying- tha appoint ment by the district Judg-ea of tnrabfri of the Fark board be recognised, and dnel-ir-Ina- that a new board should be reappointed In Majr. certain business men of Omaha assert the charter provision has been usurped and that rrx-mWa of tha Park board are holding thrtr ofTlces unlawfully. Tha district Judges have not mad appoint ments of members of tha board alnca IMS. tha mayor having exercised that office dur ing lha lat nlna years. It la believed those ' who are aeerwtly pushing this scheme ara animated by some thing beside a mere desire to tha law duly conformed with. It la aatd they have taken exception to something tha present board haa done. Tha flva membws of tha Park board ara J. T. Craig. Oorgs T. Mllla. It P. Berry man, B. J. Cornish and W. R. Watson. "It la possible thai thera may be a lilggar In tha woodpile' and that thera U something alaa back of the petition to net the park board other than tha fact that tha board member wera not ap pointed by tha district Judges, aa pro vided by tha city charter, but what ia In tha wind I do not know," ae!4 ' B. P. Bsrrytnan. ntnlwr of tha park board. "I am sura that every member of tha board baa lived up. to hla oath, and wa have done the beet we know how. We have held no star chamber executive sessions, all meeting of the board have been open and above board, and no land haa bean pur chased for park purpoaea unleaa on pe tition, and then all lntereated have been asked to. meet with the board and dlacuaa tha matter freely." It waa suggested to Mr. Berryman that possibly the Cut-Off lake park proposition might have something to do with the mat ter, but he atated positively that he be lieved no objection could come from that quarter. The appraisers of tha Cut-Off lako property were haled Into court a short time ego. but Judge Eatelle dls missed the petition, though ' holding that the board members - were not appointed aa provided by tha charter. ..J. W. Pariah, attorney-In the case against the appraisers, waa asked about the petition to oust the . park board, but declined to be interviewed. He aald that be understood there was such a petition and also that It contained the signatures of a number of lending business men and heavy taxpayers, but further would Bay nothing about It, In opposition to the pusher of the peti tion, It Is asserted the charter provision Is unconstitutional, though It baa never been declared such. It Is pointed out that the rltijHtlon Is similar to the case of the elec tion of police magistrates. The supreme court held 4he law which provided for the lnrtion of police Justices In cities of tha metropolitan class, to which class Omaha belongs, differing from the general law re lating to police magistrates throughout the state, waa void and unconstitutional. That decision of tha aupreme court waa baaed on the fact that, police magistrates are constitutional officer and that district judgea are also officers who ara specially mentioned In the constitution and the pro vision in the constitution that all lawa anal! be .uniform applies to district Judge and their powers. The law giving to district Judges of the Omaha district powers greater than other Judges a open to the same objection as that relating to police Judges, say the believer In the present system of appointment of members of the Park board by the city. Tha provision in the charter requiring the appointment by district Judges of the members of the Park board waa Inserted for the reason of taking the Park board out of politics and securing the best men for the place, disregarding politic. One member of the Park board 1 ap pointed each year. Circulators of the peti tion declare, however, that every chair on the board la lawfully vacant, for the ap pointee were unlawfully appointed.

Impresaed with many new idea of bene fit to tha Omaha schools, having vlalled the public schools of Now York. Baltimore, Philadelphia and Waahlngton, listened to an Inspiring talk from President Rcv velt. and attended mn enthusiastic meeting of th leading educators of the country. Prof. W. H. Davidson, superintend, nt of th Omaha city schools, Is home from h!a trip eaat and the National Educational association meeting In Waahlngton, D. C. "There were three distinctive features of the educational meeting." Mr. EavidMn says, ''namely, - Industrial training In the schools, physical training among the child ren and the moral phasea of education. In the Industrial training In tha school a new phase, the vocational aspect, was given, the training being to exalt the Idea of labor and enable the child to discover what he Is best adapted to. In the phy sical training In the school threa tiling of Importance were brought out, the neces sity of physical exercise, the necessity of medical Inspection of the eye and ear and tha overcoming of any. Interference w.th educatloa, and the development and equip ment of the playground as an adjurot to the child's education. Concrete plana of how the work can be best extended and the formal teaching of morals In the school were presented." Presldeat Addresses Teachers. President Roosevelt addressed the educa tors In the eaat oom of the White House, talking to them of the moral phaae of In struction and the strong tendency toward Industrial training In the schools, which be st-ongly endorsed. In the schools of Philadelphia the aupcr Intendent found vocational training In tha lead, masonry, printing, electrio wiring and plumbing being taught there. Mr. David son aald he did not feel prepared to recom mend that kind of training for Omaha at thla time, though he asserts he believes the schools of thla city are on the eve of thorough manual training course. Tha Omaha schools now have a two years' course of manual training. Mr. Davidson favor a four years' course and the Intro duction of cooking and sewing and also a department of free hand constructlnon in wood carving, pattern-making and clay modeling work in connection with the pres ent rrte band drawing work. Regarding ,v fire drills In the Omaha school and the danger of fire here Mr. Davidson said there are "no better dlacip llned schools n the country than those In thla city.

Melcher, city treasurer of South Omaha and prevent hla being relegated to dark oblivion. It la rumored be has told John W. Orlbble, can didate for mayor, and who Is contenting Hoctor'a vote, that he must withdraw from the race. Mr. Mulcher would say nothing about it either way, though Orib ble did not deny be had been aaked by that official to withdraw, adding, however, he had not withdrawn yet, laying special atreas on the word "yet." C A. Melcher la city treasurer. John W. Orlbble Is deputy treasurer under him. Tom Hoctor, mayor, la a candidate for re election. W. H. Queenan ia a candidate for tax commissioner. Melcher, Hoctor and Queenan have alwaya atoodi together. It being asserted that Grtbble Is an Inter loper and la presumptuous In shying his castor for mayor Into the ring. For this reason, it la aald, Hoctor and Queenan have gone to Melcher and told him that he must make hla man Orlbble, the deputy. withdraw, or else they will see to It that Melcher la not re-elected. Melcher wants to be city treasurer again, and from the way Grtbble talks It seems to be quite evi dent that he has conveyed to the deputy treasurer the decree of Hoctor and Quee-can.
