NO STRINGS TO WITHDRAWAL
Saaerlntendeat BevSrlda-e's Notlaea-
tloa Former Statement is Hot
afltela Is What St arte
the Tresble.
There was what might be aptly termed
an incipient strike and temporary walkout
among the students at the high school who
were formerly active members of the
Omega Eta Tau fraternity yesterday morn
ing, but later In the day the trouble was
smoothed over, st least for the present.
Last evening Superintendent Beverldge
stated that while he could not say that the
nutter had been settled for all time to
come, yet the situation appeared satisfac
tory. The trouble started when Superintendent
Beverldge Informed the "frat" students
thst the statement signed by them and pre
sented to the Board of Education at Its
meeting Tuesday night would not suffice.
Absolute and complete dlscontlnuancs of all
connection with the fraternity or sorority
without any strings to It was necessary.
Superintendent Beverldge told the young
men, and Insisted that they sign statement
similar to those signed by the girls who had
belonged to the Eta Sigma Phi sorority.
The penalty for refusing to sign the form
of statement proposed by him, Mr. Bever
ldge Informed the students, would be dis
barment from olsss privileges.
The statement signed by the "frats" and
presented to the board Tuesday night was
as follows:
We. the undersigned, formerly numii.n
of the Alpha chapter of the Omega Eta
Tau fraternity, which existed In the Coun
cil Bluffs High school, wish to inform the
honorsble hoard of Education, city of
wouncu Diuiii. inai inn cnapter has been
withdrawn from ths high school of Cmmnii
Bluffs pending the action of ths governing
body of the Omega Eta Tau fraternity:
that we, tii unduisigned. are no longer ac
tive meinlxre of the high achool chapter.
Strtag Withdrawal.
It will be seen that the withdrawal of
the frat chapter from the high school wss
"pending the action of the governing board
of the Omega Eta Tau fraternity." This
ths school authorities decided ' did not
comply with the resolution as adopted by
the board on January 5, which wss as fol
lows: Resolved. That the orgsnixatlon or main
tenance of any secret society In connection
with the public schools or ths Independent
school dUtrk of Council Bluffs be, and is
hereby, forbidden.
Thst the board of directors does hereby
require that any such aecrst society ss
may now exUt In. or in connection with
tne public schools or tne Independent school
district, shsll be dissolved and abandoned.
. That all pupils of such public schools
as msy now be members of, or connected
with any secret society, be. snd they ere
hereby required to discontinue therewith
before February 1, IKS.
The ststsmsnt which superintendent Bev
erldge Informed the young men they should
sign and which was similar to that signed
by the girls of ths sorority was as fol
lows: I hereby certify that I am not now an
active member of any secret organisation,
fraternity or sorority, composed in whole
or in part of high school pupils and I fur
ther certify that I will not become a mem
ber of any such organisation or take any
at! or pledge towsrd becoming a member
iff such an organisation during the entire
tw-lod or any continuance to tne public
stVols of this otty.
TV boys Insisted that their declaration
thsta tfcey would not maintain "aoUvs"
membership in any such organization
should be accepted as a permanent set
tlement of the' Issue presented by the res
olution passed by the Board of Education
barring the fraternity, sorority and similar
societies from the public schools of
this city. Superintendent Beverldge re
fused to compromise and practically noti
fied the .recalcitrant students that until
they signed the statement prepared by him
they might stay out of their classes.
The young men at first were inclined
to "kick against the stone wall" and In
fact did keep out of their classes until
noon, when they decided to capitulate and
sign the statements similar to those
which had been signed by the girls. This
they did and resumed their places In their
respective classes.
havo been appointed a committee to take
charge of that night's entertainment fea
tures: Charles Paschel, chairman; George
F. Hughes, Felix O'Neill, Henry Rohllng
and Lucian OUIet. "We are planning for
the moat stupendous aggregation of talent
ever gotten together under one roof for that
night," declared Chairman Paschel yester
day with all the gusto and confidence of a
veteran showman.
VAUDEVILLE BY HOME- TALENT
Pleasing Entertainment Presented by
St. Pawl's Church.
Criticism would be Invidious, snd the only
fault that could be found with the enter
tainment given at ths Star theater last
night by members of the congregation of
St Paul's Episcopal church was that it. was
entirely too short. The program, which
lasted but little over an hour, was replete
with good things from the moment the cur
tain was rung up until It dropped on the
ensemble "Yankee Doodle."
There were, no tiresome waits, and It was
continuous vaudeville sure enough, and this
accounted In a measure for the dispatch
with which the program was given.
The entertainment opened with the grand
court entry, and by the way the title of
the entertainment waa "Vaudeville at the
Queen's Court," with Miss Helen Blxby as
ths queen and N. A. Crawford, Jr., a rising
young journalist of the city, aa her con
sort. Mis Bixby Is one of Council Bluffs
fairest young women, and that ahe made a
strikingly beautiful queen goes without
saying. The queen had reason to be proud
of her handaome consort, who carried his
crown and ermine mantle as if born in the
purple. Miss Marian Tyler, another fair
daughter of Council Bluffs, was ths prin
cess. After the queen and king, attended by
their court, had made the rounds of ths
stsgs, they seated themselves upon ths
dais or throne and a menial Informed them
that the vaudeville entertainers were wait
ing without and desired admittance so that
they could go through their various stunts.
"Admit the strolling players." com
manded the king with a kingly voice and
the fun began.
The vaudeville artists were all amateurs
with one exception, and that lone excep
tion wss Harry Kerney, who was billed aa
the "only professional on the program."
There were fancy drill by a number of
little girls and they d:d them well and
received their due share of applause. Miss
Ida Pippin. In a buck snd wing dance, was
as good, if not better, than many a pro
fessional, and Mrs. Claude- Matbai. a
dainty and winsome little soubrette; Mrs.
Olmstead and Miss Hayden, with their song
and dance turns, briught down the houae,
figuratively spesking, as the theater was
still standing when the ahow was over.
A petite and pretty little piece of femi
ninity from South Omaha, Miss Mullen,
did a dsncing turn that was considered by
many the feature of the program. Miss
Fanny Dietrich, as usual, scored heavily
with a drsmstio recital, which displayed
her tslents as sn elocutionist. There were
many other good numbers snd the large
sudience went home well satisfied and feel
ing that It had received Jta money'a worth
MATTERS IN DISTRICT COURT
Trial of WildingT oa Eztortloa Charge
Draws a Crowd.
Members of his wife's family guv damag
ing testimony In tho district court against
C. A. Wilding, whose trjal on the charge
of attempting to extort money from Charles
McKeown, a wealthy farmer of Crescent
township, by means of "black hand" let
ters, was begun yesterday morning.
Wilding's mother-in-law, his sister-in-law
and his brother-in-law all testified that the
defendant, 'at his home, on -November 24,
told them about McKeown receiving the
blackmailing letters, although Wilding
stated to Postofflce Inspector J. E. 8 wen
son, as wss testified to by the latter, that
he did not know anything about the let
ters being sent to McKeown until Decem
ber 1, when he read of It In the newspa
pers. MoKeown was the first witness Intro
duced by the state. He testified to finding
a threatening letter tied to a post near his
house on November SS. This was the letter
on which ths Indictment waa founded.
Another letter of similar character was re
ceived through the mail by the witness a
few days later. In these letters threats
were made that unless McKeown gave up
1360 some of his children might be kidnaped,
liis bsrn burned and Tils well poisoned. Mr.
McKeown said that he had not given up
any money and., none of the acts threat
ened In the letters had been committed.
' Shortly sfter being committed to the
county Jail to await the action of tho
grand jury, Wilding, from the dictation of
Poatofflce Inspector 8wenson, wrote a let
ter. Mr. Swenson testified that, In his
opinion, ths threatening letter received by
McKeown waa In the handwriting of the
defendant. C. E. Walters, a former banker
of. this city; C. J. Rlchmsn, an expert ac
countant, and William Arnd, former county
treasurer, were Introduced by the state as
experts on handwriting. They each testi
fied thst, in their opinion, the handwriting
In the letter written by Wilding In jail and
in that received by McKeown were the

Action of County Board Condemned.
Ths Council Bluffs Trades and Labor
assembly at its meeting Wednesday night
expressed disapproval of the action of the
Board of Supervisors In the matter of the
award ot-the contract for furnishing the
county with blank books and other sup
plies of a like nature by adopting the fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, It being a legal requirement
that all contracta for furnishing county
supplies shall be awarded to the lowest
bidder; and
Whereas, It being a matter of official
record that the Board of Supervisors of
Pottawattamie county has awarded the
contract for furnishing blank books and
printed supplies to a bidder whose esti
mate was in excess of theJowet bid, and
whose facilities for doing the work are
so limited as to necessitate a portion of it
being done outside of Council Biuffa; am.
Whereas, Such action not only consti
tutes an injustice to the laboring men and
taxpayers who supply the working funds
of the county, but approximate an arbi
trary misuse of the public moneys; there
fore be it
Resolved, That the Council Bluffs Tradi
and Labor assembly, representing over
1,800 labortngmen, 90 per cent of
whom are taxpayers, do hereby denounce
such action of the board of supervisors
as being illegal and prejudicial to the best
Interests of the community; and furthei
be it
Resolved, That copies of these resolu
tions be served upon the Board of Super
visors and brought to the attention of the
laborlngmen and taxpaytng public.
Retailer for r a reel Post.
IOWA CITT. Ia., Feb. 5. (Special.)
President Mack A. Hurlbut of Fort
Dodge, hesd of the Iowa Retail Jewelers'
association, sprung a sensation In his
opening address yesterday by advocating
a parcels post system. Mr. Hurlbut be
lieve It Is coming and thinks It foolish
for retailers to fight It.
His remarks created no little comment,
owing to the antagonistic attitude main
talned by the retailers through the. coun
try against the parcels post. It Is un
certain what action the convention will
take on his recommendation, but the atti
tude seems favorable at the present time.
If the recommendation passes It Is be
lieved It will be ths first time a retail
jewelers' association has been put on
record aa advocating such a system.
There Is a record-bresking attendance.
Today's program Included a banquet at
noon at the Burkley Imperial and a
smoker offered by the local Jeweler.
Late laat night the jewelers voted on
Des Moines as the next meeting place.

DES MOINES, Feb. 6. (Special. )-Tha
legislature today choss a Lincoln day
orator In the person of Lafe Toung. Ef
forts had been made to secure some noted
personage from outside the state, but
this could not be done. A program will
be arranged In the hall of the house and
a joint session be held.
The contest committee of the house
having In charge the contest from Ida
county today decided upon asking for
the ballot boxes and ordered a recount of
the Vote. This Is In the caas wherein
S. M. Corrle, republican, is contesting the
seat of J. II. Baxter, democrat. The
claim Is made that the ballots .were not
properly counted.
The two houses each pasaed a number
of minor bills today. The senate passed
two house bills, which thus become laws,
one a legalising act and the other a bill
to require that bonds of executors be ex
amined once each year.
The senate passed a bill revising the
law as to distribution of codes, taking
the matter out of the hands of the state
auditor and also giving for use In each
court room In the state one code and sup
plement. The houss passed a bill to fine rail
roads ISO a day for the time they' fall to
comply with an order of the Railroad
commission.
The only Important bill Introduced was
one by Francis to provide for county
agricultural high schools by county and
stats aid. Saunders Introduced the bills
desired by sheriffs relating to mileage,
fees and pay of deputies. Holmes put In
a bill to appropriate for the exten
sion of the library work to the agricul
tural extension department.
Na rear af the Contest.
Senator Jamleson of Shenandoah, who
was declared elected to congress last
fsll, did not even go to Clarlnda today
to be present at the str.rtlng of the ex
amination of ballots In Page county rel
ative to ths contest of his seat by W. p.
Hepburn. H states that he has been
privately Informed that even thus wuo
are back of the contest have no thought
of It succeeding. He left ths mattsr Ip
ths hands of lits friends. The committee
In charge of the contest has aaked for a
recount of ballots In Page, Appanoose
and Union counties.
Many Bills Are la Hand.
There la apiiarent great alowneaa in ths
legislature this scsblon, snd the calendara
do not ahow a great amount of real legis
lation, but In some respects the work Is
advanced. President Clarke made a little
informal Investigation and found that the
number of bills introduced Is larger at this
time than before. Two yesrs ago, accord
ing to the record, on January so. the num
ber of house bills wss 101; this year on
the same date, lil. Senate bills two years
ago on February 2 numbered ; this yesr,
saras date. 111. The printing of these bills,
despits that many are largs ones, is far
better advanced than aver before. The
achool bill made fifty-aeven I'agc and one
day this week ths printer got a bill of
twelve pages. But on yesterdsy, fur In
stance, every bill ass printed that had
beeu Introduced up to and Including the
bills of Monday, says two. In other yesrs
ths printer and binder have frequently
been a week or tea dsys behind, snd usu
ally there has been a resets Jul to fermlt
the printers to catch up. But few of the
committee, however, have dons . any of
the hard work of the session.
Telephone . Leglslatlaa.
It is understood that practically all the
independent telephone companies In Iowa
are opposed to the bill to compel connec
tions between competing telephone com
panies. Some years ago the Independents
were for something of this kind and the
Bell Interests were opposed. That was at
a time when the Independents practically
had no toll lines out in the atate; but now
they cover the entire state and are ahead
of the Bell system In mileage and the In
fluences are reversed. The bill, ss a law,
would practically eliminate competition
and compel a merger of all systems and
companies.
