the estimate that the estate was worth

limit of its valuation.
Those six deeds have been held by County
Judge Leslie to be a legal part of the will
of Mf. Hopper. Some heirs have contested
the will. One of these Is Mrs. Lomllla Mc
Lean. It has been stated that she filed her
contest because her father gave her no
property outright, but only a lien (or 35,0CO
on a farm he gave to Gilbert Hopper.
"This Is a mistake," says Mr. McLean,
speaking for his wife. "As a matter of fact
my wife received sixty-six acres, or half
the old homestead, and 35,000 from her
father's estate." '

Following the arrest of two pool room
proprietors about 1 o'clock Friday morning
on the charge of keeping open after hours
It develops that there is no law prohibit
ing pool rooms to conduct their business
after midnight or any other hour. The
charges against the n en were dismissed
and the police wish It understood that they
are r.ot responsible for any pool hall keen

there Is no statute or ordinance under
which they may act In such cases.
The only ordinance used by the police
gainst pool hall men Is the one prohibit

TWO SCHOOL . BOARD BILLS
Holovtchiner Wants Third of Num
ber Elected Each Tear.
NO PAETISANSHIP IN MEASURE
Jim Connolly, Legislator-Elect, Pro
poses Eighteen Instead of Twelve
Members of the Board of
Education.
Two bills changing the method of electing
members of the Omaha Board of Educa
tion have been drawn by J. P. Connolly,
member-elect of the legislature, and Dr. E.
Holovtchiner, defeated for re-election at the
primaries, member of the Board of Educa
tion, and they will be presented to the
legislature this winter. The bills are
similar In the one respect , that members
hall be elected from the various sections
of the city, but in other respects are rad
ically different.
Mr. Connolly proposes to have a board of
eighteen members Instead of twelve as at
present, not more than half of the members
to belong to one political party. He pro
poses to divide the city Into nine election
districts with two members from each
district, not more than one of whom shall
belong to the same par-.)'. One third of the
members shall be elected every year.
Dr. Holovtchiner proposes to have but
twelve members, one-third elected each
year, and one from each ward. Party af
filiations do not enter into the doctor's bill.
The present board Is composed of twelve
members elected at large, with the result
that the southern part of the city was not
represented until Dr. Holovtchiner was ap
pointed to the board. The doctor Is the
only member living south of Leavenworth
street in which district are four wards.

other eleven members live In the western

MR. BRYAN N0J TALKATIVE
Former Democratic Leader Has Noth
ing; to Say to the Inter
viewers. '
W. J. Bryan, chief orator of the National
Corn exposition Saturday, was affablo on
arrival in Omaha, but not so loquacious as
when pursuing the somewhat elusive presi
dential office.
"What do you think of the contention of
Judge Gary of the Steel trust that that
corporation can get along after a fashion
without the tariff, but that the trust's
small competitors would bo wiped out by
removal of the duty?"
"I would not answer a question like that
offhand," replied Mr. Bryan, who further
Intimated that he would like to think the
query over and then reduce his answer to
writing.
This was the only question bordering on
politics which three interviewers were able
to Innett mid the welcomes which were ex
tended Mr. Bryan by the committee on re
cep'lon. This included G. W. Wattles, W.
R. Watson, managing editor of the Woild
Hcrald; Very Rev. G. A. Beecher and T.
J. Nolan. Mr. Bryan d:d. however, vouch
safe the lnformat'on that he loaves OmtUa
Saturday evening for Pennsylvania, where
he will deliver three addresses.
The committee whisked him away In a
motor car to a hotel, whore an Informal
luncheon was erved. Mayor ?ahliiian and
several other Bryanlc satellites sitting In
at th s. From the hotel he went to the
exposition to speak.
"How many other speakers today?" Mr.H
Bryan asked Mr. Wattks.
"You are the only one," was the answer,
at which Mr. Bryan smiled an almost Taft
smile.
The little Incident of November 3 has not
visibly depressed Mr. Bryan's spirits. At
close range' he looks older than ho does on
the platform and he Is steadily gaining in
we'ght. With the plouch hat and fur over
coat thrown open which he wore Saturday
morning, together with the comfortable
plumpness of his figure, he looked, not un
l.ke a prosperous m ddle-aged cattleman.

RALSTON RATE INVESTIGATED
Matter Is Received by Railway Com
mission, Which Will Deliberate
Before Haling.
Dr. II. J. .Wlnnett and Henry T. Clarke,
Jr., members of the Nebraska Railway com
mission, were in Omaha -Saturday to in
vestigate the RalBton rate situation.
Ralston is a station on the Burlington
A Missouri three miles west of South
Omaha, and local capitalists are striving
to build a manufacturing center at that
place. -
On November 28, both the Missouri Pacific
and the Burlington rained the rates on
building material to Ralston, making the
rates In some cases several hundred per
cent higher than they were before.
The complainants wish to have Ralston
remain within the switching cone of
Omaha and to have switching rates the
same as are enjoyed by Portal, a station
which Is beyond Ralston. The previous
rste was from $2.60 to $5 a car, but on
the raise to a per hundred basis the rate
In some cases was raised to $10 a car.
The members of the commission arrived In
Omaha Saturday morning over the Burling
ton and were at once taken to the Missouri
Pacific depot where a special train was
waiting to transfer them to Ralston, where
they had an opportunity to see the sltua-.
tlon. Ralston already ha a large number
of switching tracks installed and Is prepar
ing for the building of several large manu
facturing plants.
The case was taken under advisement by
the commission until a meeting of the full
board at Lincoln, when a decision will be
handed down.
The Missouri Pacific was represented by
A. D. Kusser, assistant general passenger
agent; D. E. King. St. Louis, Industrial
commissioner, and M. Loft us, agent. The
other side of the rate contention waa sup
ported by C. A. Ralston, president of the
Ralston Car works snd Arthur Chase of
the Ralston Townslte company. Commis
sioner Guild of the Commerlcal club accom
panied the party.
