THE OMAIIA DAILY BKE: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1905.
Some Suggested Reforms and Improvements in Government Service
are It rightly dos'-rves. It Is an Inex-1
euseble waste of pubnr money ' rpr
prlate an amount which Is ao Inadequate
at to make It lmpor1bl properly to do the
work authorised, and It la unfair to the
great educational Interests of the rountry
to deprive tlicm -of the value of the re
sults which cn be obtained by proper ap
propriation. 1 strongly urge that the request of the
director of the censj in connection wllh
the decennlst work ao aoon to be begun
be. complied with and that the appointment!
t the census force be placed under the
civil service law, waiving the geographical
requirement aa requested by the director
of Ike census. The supervisors and enu
merators should not be appointed under
the civil service law, for the reasons given
by the director.
Paalle Health..
It la highly advisable (hat there should
be Intelligent action on the part of the
nation on the question of preserving the
health of the country. Through the prac
tical extermination In San Francisco of
disease-bearing rodents our country has
thus far escaped the bubonic plague. This
Is but one of the many achievements of
American health officers, and It shows
what can be accomplished with a better
organisation than at present exists. The
dangers to public health from food adul
teration and from many other sources,
uch aa the m'nece to the phyalcal, mental
and moral development of children from
child labor, should be met and overcome.
There are numerous diseases now known to
be preventable which, are, nevertheless, not
prevented. The recent International con
gress on tuberculosis haa made ua pain
fully aware of the Inadequacy of American
publle health legislation. This nation cannot
afford to lag behind In the world-wide
battle now being waged by all civilised
people with the microscopic foes of man
kind, nor ought we longer to ignore the
reproach that this government takes more
palna to protect the lives of hogs and of
cattle than of human belnga. The first leg
islative step to he taken Is that for the
concentration of the proper bureaus into

Their appearance was not needed, for no

In thl he charged the truant officer with
"Incapacity" and with encouraging boy to

as Dr. R. I Wheeler expressed It. tha
president called on the various pastors, the
city superintendent and several of the
teachers to speak. Dr. Wheeler based his
remarks on the necessity of respecting
all lawa, insisting that laws must be car
ried out so long as they were laws. James
Wise and F. T. Ray supplemented his
remarks.
The teachers were represented by Miss
Ruth Turner, Miss Mayme Oriest Miss
Jessie Robeson and Miss Maud McDowell.
All spoke of the hearty co-operation be
tween them and Mr. McAuley. Miss Oriest
said she knew personally of three boys
who had been completely reformed by the
effort of the truant officer. Mogy Bern
stein supplemented this by saying that he
knew of forty-seven such boys. Mis Maud
McDowell said so far as her knowledge
went Mr. McAuley was the only truant of
ficer South Omaha ever had who came
anywhere near earning his salary.
Mr. McAuley stated that he. had acted
under advice of the grand jury In collect

hi platform that he would continue his
fight unless removed from hi position of
authority. After congratulations from all
sides th teacher withdrew and the board
took up the order of business.
In this, only a number of routine affair
were considered. The regular bills were
allowed. A number of teachers were, re

Citr Conmcll Proceeding.
Compared to several of the recent meet
ings of the city council the session last
night was a tame affair. The women of
the west side did not sppear; neither did
John Hasburgh, against whom they ut
tered so vigorous threats a week ago.
The session was devoted to the approval
of the longest record read this year. The
approval of claims and estimates and
the passage or recommendation of half
a dozen special improvement ordlnaces for
sidewalks, changes of grade and reports
of appraisers made up the routine.
The council passed a franchise permit
ting William Ruben to erect and main
tain waste paper boxes In the city tor a
period of ten years, for the privilege of
using the waste paper thus collected.
The monthly report of the city treas
urer was approved.

B. C-Baker was fatally Injured at the
Omaha Packing plant at p. m. yesterday,
being wound about a ahaft, and died at
S p. m. of a score of serious Injuries, in
cluding the tearing off of a leg.
He was employed as a mechanic and was
repairing the hog scraper for a minor de
fect, and the chain was still moving which
drives the hogs through. In some man
ner Baker's clothing- caught In the chain
and threw him, drawing him around the
shaft and sprocket with terrible lacera
tions and the tearing of his limbs. The
machinery was stopped as quickly as pos
sible, by someone cutting the driving belt
with a butcher knife, but It was too late.
Paul Detbrenner of the fresh pork depart
ment, rushing to the aid of Baker, was
hit by the belt which flew after being cut,
and received a painful bruise. He was
taken home but Is thought not to be seri
ously hurt.
Baker was extricated from the machine
still alive and waa hurried to the South
Omaha hospital, where he was attended
by Dr. Thomas Kelly, who could do noth
ing but relieve the immediate pain. The
man died within two hours after the In
Jury. The body was taken In charge by
Coroner Heafey and the funeral and In
quest will be arranged today.
The man had a divorced wife In Omaha
and a son living with her. He also had a
daughter living with him in South Omaha.
He lived near Twenty-fifth and H streets.
The coroner arranged an inquest Tues
day morning, which is to be held at
J:30 p. m.
A Greek with an unpronounceable name
as near to George Sarkophag-os as could
be learned, was running a saw, clipping off
toes, when he ran his hand Into It. cutting
off a finger down through the palm, in
such a manner that the member will prob
ably be disabled, at the same plant yes
terday morning. A fellow workman, hor
rified at the sight, forgot his own cutting
machine and put his hand Into It, cutting
off the tip of his middle finger at the first
Joint.
vYorkmaa Fall Dead.
Henry Watts fell dead of heart disease
at Armour & Co'a packing plant Monday
morning. Watta waa a roustabout at the
plant and waa engaged in hauling a truck
cf salt when he was seen suddenly to drop
the truck and made as though to lean
against it, but fell to the floor before
reaching it. where he expired before any
help could be summoned. It was considered
a plain case of heart failure by the wit
nesses and the physicians. The coroner
haa charge of the body and may hold
an Inquest at the request of the relatives.
The funeral haa not been arranged.
Clamor for L. Street Viadaet.
Considerable of a clamor Is being msde
for the rebuilding of the L street viaduct
in South Omaha for the accommodation of
the large number cf persons who have
taken up residence in that section nd alao
the numerous business Interests which
would be benefitted by a new and sub
stantial viaduct. The presert viaduct was
built years ago to accommodate the farmer
coming to town with a load of hay or
something of the sort, but Is not considered
safe for atreet cars. The population to
the west Is becoming so dense that a car
line la needed and the only way to obtain
thia Is to first force the railroads to re
build the viaduct.

afforded by the great empire of Japan,
It opens an entirely new departure when
compared with anything which has hap
pened among Asiatic powers which are
their own masters. Hitherto this Philippine
legislature haa acted Willi moderation and
self-restraint, and has seemed in practlca
fashion to realise the eternal truth thai
there must always be government, and that
the only way In which any body of Indi
viduals can escape the necessity of being
governed by outsiders Is to siiow that they
are able to restrain themselves, to keep
down wrongdoing and disorder. The Filip
ino people, through their officials, are
therefore making leal steps tn the direc
tion of self-government I hope and be
lieve that these steps mark the -beginning
of a course which wll continue till the
Filipinos become f to decide for them
selves whether thy desire to be an Inde
pendent nation. But it is well for them
(and also well for those 'Americans, who
during the last decade have done so much
damage . to the Filipinos by agitation for
an Immediate Independence for which they
were totally unfit) to remember that sell
government depends, and must depend,
upon the Filipino themselvea. All we can
do la to give them the opportunity to
develop the capacity for self-government
If we had followed the advice of the fool
ish doctrlnairea who wished us at any time
during the last ten years to turn the Fili
pino people adrift we should have shirked
the plainest possible duty and have In
flicted a lasting wrong upon the Filipino
people.

l, bat Goes Over to
Fatare Date.
Medical Inspection of the children attend
ing the public schools was lost In the meet
ing of the Board of Education last night by
the decisive vote of 8 to 2.
Member Rice introduced a resolution pro
viding for the employment of a chief In
spector and the fitting up of a laboratory, i
the Intention being to secure the services of
assistants in young physicians. Mr. Rice
talked on his resolution and in the courso
of his remarks took occasion to say that
he had prepared his resolution before
Jlealth Commissioner Connell sent his com
munication along the same lines to the
board, in fact he had it in mind for some
months. Mr. Rice also stated thst Omaha
is the only large city, which has not medi
cal Inspection In the schools and that In
the New England states there are state
laws governing It.
Member Holovtchlner moved as an
amendment the enactment of a state law
requiring medical Inspection In the schools
and Member Lindsay seconded the amend
ment, but President Cole declined to enter
tain the motion for the reason that the
board is not empowered to ensct state laws.
The original motion then came to a vote,
but was lost. As the last order of business
Dr. Holovtchlner moved to take the Rice
resolution from the table, but this was
also lost.
More Groaad for Castellar.
Dr. Holovtchlner made another effort to
secure additional ground for the Castellar
street school thereby making possible the
erection of an addition to the building at
some time In the future. He had aecurcd
options on a couple of lots adjoining the
school property for $6,210 and sought to pass
a resolution providing for the purchase of
the land. The resolution was laid over
one meeting on the rules.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Ryder noti

Long school be changed and rhangea be
made In the fire escape on this building.
The communication was referred to the

his seat as a member of the Board of Edu

Herring was for fight years attorney for
the board, but was superseded last August
by Edgar E. Balrd, a former member of the
board. After Mr. Herring took his seat he
was called upon to make a speech. His re
marks were short, the new member saying
that he might find himself in a position
similar to a boy he once heard of. This
youth had a terrible time at home, said
Mr. Herring, and finally he was driven out
of the home nest. He had no sooner left
than his mother repeatedly Importune! him
to return. Finally he came bark, but only
to have the "stuffing licked out of him."
Mr. Herring said he hoped that his ex
