BOARD BALKS ON STATUE
Directors Want We Makeshift for
Moaaneat and Will View
Before Accepting.
Declaring ho thought the school board
ought to have something to say about the
proposed Lincoln statue for the high school
grounds and that It ought to reject the
piece of sculpture providing It proves un
satisfactory, J. C. Lindsay, member of the
school board, says the statue cannot be
forced upon the board, evert though it Is
a gift from the school children If It Is not
an artlstlo work of art.
"No man can force me to accept a gift
of a groundhog If I do not want It." says
Mr. Lindsay, "and therefore I contend that
the member of the Board of Education
who says the board has nothing to do with
the statue Is wholly wrong. The board haa
everything to say about It and It ought to
view tha statue and pass Judgment upon It
before It Is set up on the high school
campus."
The Lincoln statue came In for consid
erable discussion by' members of the board
at a meeting Thursday afternoon of the
committee on heat and ventilation of the
board, G. D. Rice and A. C. Kennedy,
members of the board, entering Into the
discussion.
While saying he believed the board would
not entertain a proposition of the kind,
Mr. Rice thought the board could as wisely
spend money for-the purchase of a statue
of the great emancipator which would be
a credit to the schools and to the city as
It could for the erection of school buildings.
"I have not seen this statue and as far
as I know It may be all right, but If re
ports are true, we had better not have
any statue at all than to have one that
will be an eyesore," said Mr. Rice.
Mr. Kennedy also belloved the board
ought to view the piece of aculpture be
fore It was erected, not to employ a com
mission for that purpose and, further, that
he was as competent to Judge the artistic
features of the work as J. Laurie Wallace,
artist.
At the meeting of the committee on heat
and ventilation the changing of heating ar
rangements In all schools now heated with
furnaces to heat by steam was discussed.
bONNELL STANDS BY GUNS
Health Commissioner Says No TJnvnc
clnated Child May Attead School,
Epidemic or Not.
"As long as I am commissioner of health
no child not vaccinated can attend the
schools of Omaha at any time, whether
there Is an epidemic or not. The smallpox
quarantine will never be raised and while
there are now but a very few cases of con
tagious diseases In thecity, still vaccina
tion Is aa Imperative as ever."
This is the ultimatum given out by Dr.
R. W. Connell, health commissioner of
Omaha. Several hundred children are still
out of school on account of not being vac
clnated.
s, "I am In favor of modifying the restrict
tlons In a measure by the council's chang
ing of rule 81 whereby a child once vaccl
nated can attend school at times when there
Is not an epidemic," says the health com
missioner. "Rule 31 provides that vaccina
tion must be done every seven years, and
I will enforce that rule. However, It could
be changed to allow the attendance at
school of children who had been vaccinated
at least once, even though fifteen years
ago. In times of an epidemic, however, a
certificate must be presented showing vac
cination within seven years."
Mayor Dahlman says the health com
missioner has not conferred with him re
garding the matter, but adds that the law
Is very broad In giving the commissioner
almost unlimited powers.
"It would seem to me, though, says the
mayor, "that when there la no epidemic
children not vaccinated could, with Im
punity, attend the schools. This semblance
of martial law. It appears to me, ought
not to prevail In times of peace. In times
when there Is no epidemic."
St, Regis, New York
A Hotel Which Offers a New
Phase of Living.
ITS INCREASING POPULARITY
There are numerous hotels at home and
abroad where one may purchase magnifi
cence at so much a day, where the gaping
multitude and the obtrusive newly rich go
to see and be seen. Hotel St. Regis. New
Tork, belongs to an entirely different
class. Within Its portals, whether one
engages a modest room or a suite, one Is
given comfort, refined surroundings and
restful privacy equal or superior to that
of the most perfectly appointed Individual
home. Comfort Is the keynote of this
matchless hotel, and In no Instance has
this most Important feature been sacri
ficed, and nowhere Is vulgar display In
evidence.
If you seek the ultimate of homelike
satisfaction when away from home and
would enjoy to the utmost your visits to
the metropolis, stop at the St 'Regis,
Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street.
Perhaps you belong to that numerous
class who from preference or necessity
consider the cost. ' If so, banish from
your thoughts the silly stories of shallow.
brained space writers, who, without any
knowledge of the facts have described this
hotel as a palace for millionaires only. A
brief sojourn at the St. Regis will convince
you of the utter falsity of these reports
and you will find there the best the world
has to offer In the realm of hospitality at
reasonable expense.
In Its restaurant, famous as It haa be
come, the prices, which are plainly printed
on all menu cards, are the same as those
Of first-class hotels generally, while the
room charges are equally moderate. Large,
elegantly furnished rooms may be had
for M a day, or the same with private
bath for 15 (M for two people), or a parlor
bedroom and bath for 112.
MAYOR IS N0J STAMPEDED
Oar Jim Thinks New Yorkers Unduly
Alarmed Over Fate of
Bryan.
Mayor Dahlman Is in receipt of a long
communication from admirers of Bryan
In New York state who are making prepa
rations to send a contesting delegation
to the national democratic convention who
will be friendly to Bryan, those pushing
the contesting delegation preparatlona dis
closing a huge plot in New York to de
feat Bryan'a nomination by the workings
of the two-thirds rule. The communica
tion was sent by Mr. Dahlman In his ca
pacity aa national committeeman. The
mayor says:
"The New Yorkers are unduly alarmed.
They forget - that New York Is not ths
whole nailon and that even though the
regulation delegation from that state Is
not composed of Bryan men. nothing can
prevent the nomination of the Nebraskan
at Denver in July.".
ME, NOT MAN, PENSIONED
Father for Whom Son Serves Draws
the Money.
BOY TUBNED DOWN BY UNCLE SAM
Proves He Did Service la Army ta
Name of Father, bat Has
No Soldier Name
Himself.
A peculiar pension case has recently de
veloped, in which members of the Second
Nebraska Volunteer cavalry were the chief
figures. The parties were Peter Whitlow
and his son, James P. Whitlow of Nemaha
county. The elder Whitlow enlisted In the
Second Nebraska cavalry at the time of
Its organisation under the late ex-Governor
R. W. Furnas in the fall of 1863. The regl
ment waa encamped for several months
at Nemaha City. Orders were finally is
sued for the regiment to take the field In
an Indian campaign In the Dakotas early
In 1864. The elder Whitlow did not care
to go Into the field, and so his son took
his place In the company, answered to his
father's name and performed all the duties
of a soldier for nine months, while the
regiment was in tha field, and returned
with It to Nebraska. . ,,,.
No further service being required of the
regiment, the members vwore given leave
to disperse to theVr hotpa temporarily, to
be reassembled for final muster out when
ordered. The orders for muster out finally
came, aiA the elder Whitlow again re
ported to the regiment and waa honorably
mustered out with It. ,
Son la Tuned Dowa.
In the course of time he applied for a
pension nd it was granted. Upon his
death a pension was granted to his widow,
and she died last summer In Auburn. Fol
lowing her death James P. Whitlow, the
son, who had rendered the actual service
In the regiment for his father, applied for
a pension, but was turned down on the
ground that no such name as his was on
the records of the Second Nebraska
cavalry.
It -was shown in the proceedings of ti e
pension case that James P. Whitlow had
actually served In the regiment, as he
claimed, and a number of witnesses con
firmed the fact. Including his company
commander. While he was known in the
company to all its ' members aa Jimmy
Whitlow, yet he always answered to the
name of Peter Whitlow, and was so canted
on the rolls. The result was that while the
fact of. service was abundantly proven,
yet there was no record to show ths sub
stitution of himself for Ms father was a
technical fact, hence James P. Whitlow
will get no pension, nor can he be held
amenable for presenting a false claim.

One of the district vice presidents of the
New Tork State Federation has Issued the
following circular on the duties of the
district chairmen, which should be helpful
to chslrmea and club women alike:
It Is beoomlna more and more apparent
that the office of district chairman Is a
very Important one and that upon lis man
ner of administration the sucrens of the
federation snd the welfare of the clubs
comprising; It In no small measure neces
sarily depend. District organization has
become absolutely ementiul In dissemi
nating the policies and aims Of the federa
tion and In bringing about that condition
of co-operation which makes for the great
est good for al concerned. One of the f.rst
alms of the chairman is to impress upon
every woman In her Jurisdiction, whom she
can reach by personal conversation, by
club visits, by correspondence snd by dis
trict meetings, ine ract tnat tne aaminis
tratlon of the state federation not only
Courts, but must have the honest opinion
of Its constituents in order to serve them
In the best way; that the women who are
members of the smallest club In a remote
community, nevertheless belong to the fed
eration, and their Ideas are wanted and
needed by their officers.
The district chairman Is expected to have
a full and accurate list of all the federated
clubs in her district. Clubs to be Interested,
In the true sense. In the federstlon must
know of the work of the standing commit
tees and learn to report to the chairmen
of the appropriate committees the work
they are accomplishing.
It takes time to train clubs In this way,
but It is part of the duty of the district
chairman to be patient and persevcr'.ng.
and if the duty Is faltiiful'y performed re
sults will surely follow. It Is sdvlsed that
a federation secretary be appointed whose
duty It will be to attend to all communica
tion's passing between the federation and
her club. ,
The district chairman should be familiar
with the work that each club in her district
Is doing or likely to be Interested In and to
mmmunlcata such Information to the
chairmen of the atandlng committees of the
state federation. Two district meetings

The Georgia declsslon. Daughters of the

Its memorial monument to Wlrts, keeper of
AnAndersonvllle prison, June 3 of this yesr.
The monument, which will stand Just out
side the gates of the old confederate prison.
Is a plain shaft, thirty-five feet high, and
will cost $2,250. In her annual report, Mrs.
A. B. Hull, retiring president of the Geor
gia division, says:
And here let me place on record our deep
appreciation of the "Woman's Relief Corps
of the Grand Army of the Republic,"
whose president in almost her last act
on earth saw to the removal of those un
worthy and false statements on signboards
and posters In the prison park at Ander
sonvllle. With them goes one great cause
for bitterness and resentment, and when
our monument Is raised we csn say, "Well
done," and pass on to other living work
which is calling us from every side.
Considering that this monument is to be
erected In spite of the protest of the
Woman's Relief corps of the Grand Army
of the Republlo the action of tho Georgia
Daughters Is being watched with keen In
terest by women In all parts of the coun
try. Notice has been served by the Relief
corps that If the monument Is erected the
signs referred to by Mrs. Hull, which were
merely markers of the various places In
the famous prison pen, will all be replaced
and with them others giving further au
thentic details of the awful suffering of
the thousands of union sold era who died
there through the cruelty of Keeper Wirti.
