I TEACHERS ARE NUT CHOSEN
Executive Session of an Hoar Does
Not Bring Results.
CHAIRMAN SHU G ART ASKS DELAY
Indications Point-to a Difference of
Opinion Between Superintendent
and Borne Members of
Hoard.
That there was a rift In the lute some
where was made evident at the meeting of
the Board of Education last night, and ihe
expected election of teachers for the next
school year was postponed for a week.
The board spent about an hour In ex
ecutive session behind closed doors, but
this apparently did not clear the situation.
When, towards the close of the session,
suggestion was made that it might be as
well to dispose of the matter of the elec
tion of teachers. Chairman Shugart of the
teachers committee declared that he wanted
a little more time to think It over, but he
did not explain what the "It" was.
Rumors have been current for a week
or more that everything was not nar-
monlous In the board nnd that some of
the members and Superintendent Bever
Idge were not entirely In accord so far as
the election of teachers went. Superintend
ent Beverldge manifested a desire last
night to have this matter disposed of, and
some of the members expressed themselves
as ready to take action, but It was finally
decided to postpone the election until next
Monday night.
After the meeting Member Elliott as
serted that the trouble was due to a dif
ference between the teachers committee
and the finance committee as to the sal
aries which ought to, be paid certain teach
ers. The other members declined to talk
for publication, as they expressed it.
Miss Stella Vincent, a teacher in the
Washington Avenue school, requested per
mission fo occupy a room In this building
for a summer school, and this brought on
a prolonged discussion as to the advisabil
ity of. permitting the use of the school
rooms for such purposes. Member Elliott
In particular opposed granting such permis
sion. "What Is there to prevent a teacher
purposely keeping back the pupils under
her charge so that she might gain finan
cially by Instructing them during the va
cation months?" said Mr. TT.iott.
The board finally decided to allow Miss
Vincent the use ot the room on certain
conditions, one of which will require her
to accept any pupil who Is willing to pay
for such Instruction. Members Elliott and
Reed voted against granting the permis
sion and the former moved as a substi
tute that any teacher be permitted to use
any room in any school at any time. The
substitute, however, received only the sup
port of Mr. Reed, and was consequently
lost. M'ss Orovenor, who requested per
mission to use a room In the Washington
avenue school for a summer kindergarten.
was turned down, as the board was of
the opinion that it was merely a "day
nursery" proposition.
Miss Anna Ross of the high school fac
ulty applied for a year's leave of ab
sence in order to travel In Europe. The
leave was granted, although Member Kill
pack declared he did not see what power
the board had to grant any such per
mission in view of the fact that Miss
Ross was employed by the year and that
ber contract expired at the close of this
school year, when she would be free to
do as she liked and go where she liked.
OMAHA TAKES WHIST TROPHY
Captain of Conncll Blaffs Team Lets
Trophy Go by Defanlt.
For the first time in the history of the
Western Whist league, the Richards trophy,
handsome silver loving cup, has been
forfeited by the club holding it to another
club which issued a challenge. At the an
,nual tournament last winter the Council
Bluffs Whist club team, of which C. D.
Walters was captain, captured the trophy,
and since then the cup has adorned the
sideboard at the home of Mr. Walters.
A short while back the Omaha club Is
sued Its defl to the Council Bluffs "whist
ere," and for some reason or another which
has not yet been explained. Captain Walt
ers declined to contest and Informed the
Omahans that Council Bluffs would for
feit the trophy. The cup will, accordingly,
be turned over by Captain Walters to Fre
mont Benjamin, secretary ot the Omaha
Whist club. i
The Richards trophy was won for the
first time by Council Bluffs several years
ago, when Attorney John P. Organ was
captain of the whist team. The local play
ers defended It eight times before being de
feated and compelled to surrender the tup.
The rules of the contest for the trophy
made H the permanent property of the
club winning it three times. The Grand
Island Whist club succeeded In doing this,
but maganlmously returned It to the league
last year to be again competed for.
In consequence of his forfeiting the
trophy, Csptaln Walters has been obliged
to stand a good deal of good natured Josh
ing at the hands of the other members of
the Council Bluffs Whlat club.

tural resources was received here todsy
by A. W. Shaw, editor of a business
man s magaxlne:
The conservation of natural resources
Is a subject which will properly claim
from the present administration earnest
ttentlon and appropriate legislation. The
necessity for a comprehensive and system
atic Improvement of our wn'crways the
preservation of our soil and of our forests,
the securing from monopolistic private ap
propriation, the power In navigable
streams, the retention of undisposed coal
lands of the government from complete
alienation all these manors . are vitally
Important to the people of the United
States and to your constituency, the busl
ne. of the country.
'Without the resources which make la
bor productive, American enterprise, en
ergy and skill would not W he past have
been able to make headway against hard
conditions. Our children and their child
ren wll! not be able to make headway
if we leave to them an impoverished
country. Our land, our waters, our for
ests and our minerals are the sources
from which come directly or indirectly the
livelihood of all of us. The conservation
of our natural resources is a question of
(fundamental Importance .'.to' the United
States now. to the business man today."

INSURANCE MEN LOSE JOBS
New York Life Compelled to Let
Agent Go.
TOO MUCH BUSINESS WRITTEN
New York State Statnte Mmltlnai the
Araoaat of tw Contracts Re
sponsible for Twenty
traakana Walking; Plank.
Twenty agents holding contracts with the
New York Life Insurance company In Ne
braska are out of Jobs as a result of a
New York law which forbids a life In
surance company writing more than $150,
000,000 In new business each year.
This the New York Life has reached and
1.000 agents over Ihe country are out of
work. While twenty In Nebraska have
had their contracts cancelled, none of the
Omaha men working from the Omaha
branch will lose their Job. They will,
however, have to be good and not write
too much business, or the sovereign state
of New York will take their bread and but
ter away from them and forbid the people
taking out more Insurance with the New
York Life.
The Influence of the New York law. Is
already world wide, according to Oiia H.
Menold, agency director of the Omaha
branch. Manv of the foreign branch of
fices have been closed and many, men
thrown out of work.
While other Insurance companies ssw
the law going on the statute hooks, they
did nothing to prevent It as so far none
have written $1V),000.000 In a single year
except the New York Life. As a result
agents h ive been thrown out of work who
would have written as much as $25.000,OHO
of Insurance or at least 75 per cent of that
amount. The New York Life ts getting
better risks and cutting out the cheaper
grades of policies, writing only the high
class contracts In order to keep from
doing "too mucn business to suit Governor
Hughes."
Many bankers and other business men In
Nebraska have represented the New York
Life locally and written a large amount of
first class business each year. Over 60 per
cent of these ogents are no more, begin
ning June 1.
