At times the members of tha cast exhibited a lack of efficient rehears ing, but this was offset by their earnest efforts and admirable renditions of the vocal aolos and duets.

LARGE CBOWD 15 ATTENDANCE Tram frasa Oaaki High IrkMl Ala Gala t letorr Over the Yest pert Hlsjh arknal at Kaaaaa City. Omaha High school debaters won over West Pes Moines High school debaters Frldsv night In the Creighton university auditorium. This wss the unanimous opinion of the three Judges. Super intendent X. M. Orshsm of South Omaha. Robert Wallace of Council Bluffa and Judge A. Button of Omaha. The applause which greeted the announcement of the decision showed that It met with tie approbation of a fnajnritr of the large 'audience which packed the auditorium to the doort. tThe queatlon was: "Resolved, That the cemmisalon plan of government, combined with the Initiative, referendum and recall, ia the best plan yet proposed for govern ment of American cities." Omaha argued for tha affirmative and the debaters were Edwin Rosenberg, Harry Drucker and WUl Ross. Des Moines snd the negative side were upheld by Benjamin Hasen. William Spurrier and Jennie David son. Drucker, for the affirmative, and Hazen. for the negative, summed up their respective sides in rebuttal at the close. Rosenberg, the first speaker for the af firmative, explained the commission plsn in brief, one commissioner having the supervision of the public health for his rpe clal duty, another having the water works, a third the parks or streets. He followed this short explanation bf outlining the af firmatives line of argument for the even ing, atatlng that they would show that the evils in the present system of city govern ment can be remedied only by the destruc tion of the system; that the commission r,i.n i. the only remedy; that the recall serves as a check on the commission, and that the plan has worked successfully. Cood Mea loata to Serre. He srgued that on account of no honor attaching to the office of councilman, cor ruption making it dishonor instead ot honor. It was Impossible to get good men under the present system, though U would be under the commission system where the body is smaller and therefore more honor and more direct responsibility attaches. Also under the present system 'there are too many committee to refer legislation to and therefore It ia practically impossible to place responsibility, he argued, whereas under the commission plan each commis sioner would be directly responsible for his department. Hazen, the leading debater for Des Moines, then followed in rapid fire ar raignment of the commission plan in which he declared that in the four Weeks the plan 1-as been tried in Des Moines a mis take has been found every day and that even the father of the rn advocates a new commission to watch the original one. He ridiculed the argument put forth that the recall serves as a check on the com mission, declaring that the commission ad vocates concede weakness In advocating a recall, "for if the plan ia not dangerous, why the need of a check T' Drucker, the leading advocate for Omaha, then came forward with his telling argu ments for the commission plan, citing live salient polnta: Greater honor for the com missioner, business plan of government, non-partisan elections, personal Initiative and Interest of the people. The declaration was made that in voting for commissioners all partisan politics and all national and state politics would be elim inated and the people would vote simply for men of integrity who would not shift responsibility. In the commission plan he argued the city would be governed intel ligently by a email body as ia a corpora tion governed by a board of directors. "The commission system is the true democracy," he said. Plan Simply a Fad. Spurrier, for Des Moines, waxed facetious a ixl compared the commission plan to the Merry Widow sailors simply a fad which will wear off after a abort time. "It Is merely a theory, but because new has be come a fad," he said, "but when the first blush has been worn off we will see it exposed in all its hldeousness." He de- el red it was a wild and impractical theory and the slat government of the lat century could not by any happenstance be com pared with It. By the frequency of elec tions under the present system men inter ested in public questions are assured of election to the council. The practical side of the commisaion plan and facta and figures of what "had been accomplished in cities which have tried- It were presented by Ross of Omaha. Gal veston naturally was the first city named and the statement that the debt of S2O4.00O in 1101 was reduced in three years' time to fcjO.CuO was a strong point, in consideration of the fact that on account of the flood tax values had been decressed 25 per cent. The experiences of Houston, Fort Worth, Xul,iin, Waco. Memphis, Leavenworth and Norfolk were quoted and tba names of commissioners In a number of eltle. includ ing a short sketch of their lives showing their fltne were given. Des Moines com missioners being in this list. The last speaker for the negative, before rebuttal, broke away from the commission plan and the present system and advocated a new system of government altogether, a plan similar to that In vogue In the schools and the Board of Education, t'ndcr this method the people would choose their con trolling board of the best citizens of the community and it in turn would choose the mayor, who would be held responsible for everything, the same aa the people elect the Board ot Kducatlon, which board In turn electa the superintendent of the schools. Miss Davidson spoke in a sarcastic manner, declaring that the commission plan is visionary, radical and dangerous, seaaaalas; l of Debaters. In rebuttal Hazen declared thai Omaha could not talk intelligently aboat the work ing of the commission plan in Dea Moines, where they have seen it work and know what it amounta to. He also denied the idea of the high qualification attributed to the Des Moines commissioners and said that while the commissioners might try to I"" nal wa" "' cuu'a 00 ot tlie question had constantly aidestepped, failed to point to specific examples where the commission plan had not worked Weil, neglected to givs any Instances of ths "school board plan'' as being in vogue In any American city and declared that un der the cotnoasaion plan responsibility can be fixed for the failure ta clean the streets, "but can you under the present syslerrjT" Prof. Morris Rkker presided at the da bat, the exercises of the evening being opened by a Sumo solo by Mamie Meek, and Charles Lang gave a coupis ot vocal ANOTHER VICTORY AT KiW TOW Hae Hi Vaaee Malatala the Credit f Osaafca, Hlaa.

Detective HeniV Elsfelder arrested Joe Feeley last night, who will be held pending a minute description from Mlnden, Neb. It is thought possible that the aunpect may be Bert Taylor, tha Mlnden man who as saulted two girls. He arrived In South Omaha yesterday afternoon, and was held by the detective, who met him at Twenty fourth and N streets. The description tal lied well. At the station he wss searched and no marks of Identification were found on him. He had no bocks or letters. He said he had Just left Wichita, Kan., and had worked there for a man named Joseph Kearney on a loading dock. Chief John Briggs questioned the man very carefully, but made no mention of ths Mlnden crime.
