Proposal Form
ir
Final Action to Be Taken Monday,
When Attorneys Have Oppor
tunity to Study Charter.
At a meeting of the Water board held
last night a decision, which was prao
tlcally final, was reached as to the form of
the bands to be submitted to the voters of
the city at the approaching spring election.
The board was Informed that the gov
ernor yesterday signed the Omaha char
ter bill, thereby making It the law cf the
state, and no definite action was teken
and none will be taken until counsel for
the board lias an opportunity to examine
the new law and ascertain If all Its re
quirements have been compiled with.
The proposition, as It now stands, how
ever. Is as follows:
That at the regular city election of the
city of Omaha, to be held on May 4.
1V09, the question and proposition of issu
ing bonds In the sum of $(,600,000, to be
known aa Omaha Water works bonds,
the proceeds of which, In whole or in
pert as may be necessary, to be used for
the purpose of the purchase and txten
slon of the water works, or any part
thereof, belonging to the Omaha Water
company, shall be and Is hereby author
ized and ordered to be submitted to the
electors nf said city at the said election.
The said hondfi shall be of the denom
ination of $1,000 each. with Interest
coupons thereto attached, and known as
Omaha Water works bonds, to bear In
terest at the rate of 4 per cent oer an
num, payable in thirty years from the
date of their execution, with Interest
Marls Flskhorst has been retained at
the Child Saving Institute longer than
umisj. He la en abnormal child and for
that reason his adoption has nut been
found practicable.
. His father died when he was an Infant
and for two years after his death the
mother struggled against poverty in her
effort to support herself and child. Fall
ing In health she had to be taken to the
Douglas County hospital, where death over
took her five years ago. Maxle was at
that time 4 years old and since the death
of the mother he has been cared for at
the Institute and has been attending school,
where his success has been good. He Is
an exceedingly bright and promising boy.
During these five years the little fel
low has watched the coming of many
farmers and others who wanted boys of
his age. He listened to the conversations
and saw the selections made of other
bays, and was sad and disappointed and
broken hearted many times because he
was not selected to go out Into a home
for adoption. His pitiable appeals to the
superintendent for chance to go Into a
home have differed from the appeals of
other boys, because a sad note ran through
them and expressions of fear that for
some reason which he could not understand
he might be rejected by the next man who
came In search of a boy of his age. He
Is at the institute now and cannot under
stand why other boys can 'get homes and
he Is rejected by those who make In
quiries. Everything Is done that can be
done to train and comfort him and to
encourage him In the matter of education
and to assure him that bye and bye the
splendid opportunity will be furnished to
htm such as other boys have found.

Inforsns Greek Representative He

Coold to Protect Greeks.
The mayor, at ieast, ot the city officials.
Is looking for a large number of damsge
claims for personal Injury to be lodged
tgnlnst the city as a result of the riot of
February 21. Regarding a conference with
Prof. Ion, the Greek consular agent, which
was held Tuesday afternoon, the mayor
said last night:
"I wss given to understand by Prof. Ion
that tabulated claims are being prepared
among the Greek resident, who were
driven out of the city. The estimates of
losses will be pretty high and the claims
for damage for personal Injury much
higher. Our city attorney hss advised me
that the city can not be held liable for
these claims. The administration will take
that position. My conference with Prof. Ion
lasted only a few minutes and he asked
me particularly about the mass meeting.
I explained to him that the crowd was so
large that the city hall could not accommo
date them so they met In front of the
Packers National bank. I told him that
the city had never anticipated such an out
break and only two or three policemen
were at the mass meeting. He wanted to
know if the police had done their full duty
In attempting to quell the riot. I said I
thought with the limited force which the
city had It had done all possible to pre
serve order. He asked me if I knew who
had made the speech with the remark
"One drop of American blood la worth
more than all the Greeks in the country T
I told him I could not recall hearing those
words."
Corby Retarns Home.
W. R. Curby of Sterling. Neb., was able
to return to his home after his episode In
South Omaha of Tuesday night. He left
apparently cheered up and with no sign
of again attempting his own life. His in
tentlons were apparently the strongest at
the time he took the morphine. In fact, he
took an oyerdose which made him sick and
resulted In the saving of his life.
It Is said that his reason was that after
having lost a corn crop on his SOO-acre
fld last year owing to the floods of the
season, he had been compelled to buy corn
for his stock at a high price. He had to
incumber his property temporarily to make
ends meet. When he arrived In South
Omaha with his cattle Tuesday they did
not bring as much as he had hoped and ex
pected, leaving him still In debt. Desperate
at this turn of affairs he resolved to end
It all. After taking the poison he wss much
vexed when roused by Dr. McCrann. He
said except for his wife and child he would
sooner die. In the morning Wednesday he
had quite changed his mind and was ready
to go back to his farm and fight for a bet
terment of his condition. .

Clore to Teach
i
Russian Farmers
How to Raise Corn
Winner of National Exposition Frieei
Accepts Offer to Go to the
Czar's Country.
' I B. Clore, who won the title "Corn
King of the World," by winning the sweep
stakes at the National Corn exposition In
Omaha last December, will go to Russia
on a small salary and assist In showing
the Interior farmers how to grow corn.
Word received in Omaha Is to the effect
that the trip will be undertaken as soon
as Mr. Clore can secure a man to assume
the management of his prise corn land.
The salary Is only $2,000 per annum. This
is about as much aa Mr. Clore wins at the
I state fairs and corn expositions each year
on his com. But he Is going for the ex-
perience. Traveling expenses are paid by
; the Russian government. They will amount
to something. Mr. Clore is a comparatively
young man. Just 42 years of age, and says
he is not too old to give two or more
years of his life to the work in Russia.
Mr. Clore will not enter corn at the
Omaha exposition, feeling that if some
other growers can wtn and score higher
than his scores have been made, he Is
willing for them to get the rlies which
will be offered in the future.

GREGORY, S D.. March M. To the Edi
tor of The Bee: Under date of March 20
your Washington . correspondent among
other things stated that Mr. Hackler of
Dallas had made a bard fight to have the
United States Land office removed from
Gregory to Dallas.
I cannot understand why qr how. my name
wss thus used, as my home has been In
Gregory since the town was started and
I have done all in my power, in my
humble way. In having the land office re
moved from Mitchell to Gregory. My name
was evidently used In lieu of Mr. Jack
son's, whose action In trying to reopen the
fight was so manifestly a grand-stand
play for political and business advertise
ment that even the good citizens of Dallas
do not approve of his scheme. Mr. Jackson
Is chief head of the Pioneer Trust company,
whose principal business Is locating the in
coming homesteaders. I would not even
want my name connected with this last
spectacular movement, as much as to even
oppose the removal of the office from
Gregory to Dalls, as such a thing was and
Is utterly Impossible from any standpoint.

OMAHA, Msrch 24. To the Editor of The
Bee: Your editorial In Saturday's Bee about
the primary law brings out a serious defect
in that law, and one In which we may well
be concerned. I have heard several candi
dates for the council making a plea for
support and various reasons are given
as to jsrhy they should be elected. But
one young man whose earnings have never
exceeded $80 per month, frankly stated that
he wanted the support at the coming elec
tion so that he could "sell his labor at a
higher figure and give his family some nf
the luxuries of life." Would any business
corporation entertain the application of a
person to the board of control on such a
pica as that? Surely a law that encourages
the nomination and election of such per
sons is dangerous, for It Is Impossible for
the people to know each candidate.
Another candidate, an elderly man, sems
to think he has a claim upon the citizens,
all because he has made and lost 120,000
here. A salary of 1125 per month doubtless
looks attractive to him in his i id ae, as
It naturally would to anyone who has
made a failure of business. Let the citi
zens be very careful In their choice and
select men who havp a higher conception
of the duties that will devolve upon them,
than it is possible to expect from one who
looks upon the salary as a thing more to be
desired than service to the public. Yours
truly. TAXPAYER.

"I wish to commend this too block' of

"If these property owners In the 600 block
get together and carry on the Improvement
they talk about the rest of the city will be

bound to go where there la 'something
