Colonel George Soul of New Orleans yes
terday afternoon startled some members of

time has come to admit only high school
graduate to business college.
Th speaker admitted that It will be diffi
cult to bring about such a change suddenly,
"But it must come," he added.
"I don't believe, either, in graduating
pupil," said Colonel Soule, "unless th stu

our schools will profit in th nd by raising
standard in thee respect even though it
mean a decrease In number of student at

VETERANS SPEAK IN SCHOOLS
Soldier of the Rebellion Tell Their
Story to Pupils Patrlotto
Program Given.
The annual custom of the veterans of the
civil war, addressing th public schools,
was very generally carried out in Omaha
Friday.
The schools were all prettily decorated for
tbe occasion, and patriotic exercises were
carried out in all of them, embracing
short patriotic recitations, patriotic songs,
the delivery of Lincoln's Gettysburg ad
dress In unison. y
In several -of the schools the exercises
were hejd in the forenoon, but the more
general observance was during the after
noon session of the schools. The exercises
were very generally attended by the par
ents and friends of the pupils.
The general character of the addresses
delivered by the old veterans were reminis
cent of the war days and war time ex
periences. Some related wholly to the
preservation of the American patriotic
spirit and of eternal fidelity to th flag and
American institution. Among tbe speak
er were several of the Spanish-American
war veterans and withal the exercise were
full of patriotic interest.
The speakers in almost every Instance
were presented with handsome bouquet of
flowers, and in all instance wer most loy
ally and reverently received by the school
and their teacher.

Catholic Authorities Object to Use of
0. A. E. Eitual in Holv
Sepulchre Cemetery
There seems to be a hitch In a part of
the program regarding the decoration of
the graves of Cathollo soldiers burled In
th Holy Sepulcher cemetery. Th duty of
decorating the grave of veterans In this
cemetery was assigned to - Custer 'post.
Grand Army of the Republic, and Custer
Woman's Relief Corps, Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock, and th Grand Army ritual
services were to be carried out Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. .
Owing to objection of the Catholid
authorities having eontrol of the oometery,
the decoration services at Holy Sepulcher
cemetery have been abandoned,
Monslgnor Colaneri says that the Cath
olic authorities have no objeotlon to allow
ing the Grand Army to decorate the graves
of the deceased members in the cemetery,
and hope that the Catholic soldiers will be
honored with a wreath and a flag, but the
authorities do object to the use of any
religious ritual In the cemetery except that
of the Cathollo church. .
"When the representatives of the- Grand
Army came to me," said the monslgnor,
"I made it plain to them that they might
decorate the graves and fire a volley it
they wished, but the cemetery Is conse
crated ground and wa cannot permit any
other ritual to bo used but that of th
Cathollo church."
Councilman McGovern has started a
flurry that may end In a law suit, brought
bysthe city, to ascertain Just what rlRlus
certain companies have to secure permits
in general terms and then proceed to bo-
come parties to what the Ninth ward coun
cilman claims 1 a plain violation of law.
The case which has aroused Mr. Mc
Govern, and which has enlisted the lively
Interest of the city engineer's department,
has to do with a lunch wagon situated
partly on the sidewalk and partly on a
lot on Fifteenth street, between Chicago
end Cass. The gas company secured a
permit to lay a "service" pipe to 415 North
Fifteenth street. It happens there is no
house at that number, but there Is a lunch
wagon situated as stated. On the permit
secuied the gas company proceeded to cut
the new pavement and laid a pipe under
the curb and sidewalk, then through the
floor of the lunch wagon to connect with
a gas stove.
Examination of the ordinance governing
the location of lunch wagons show that the
one In question is within the lines of the
district in which lunch wagon may be
located, and the engineer's record show
the permit was regularly granted for the
cutting of the street to lay a "service'
pipe.
Councilman McGovern contends that such
permits should not be granted, while As
sistant City Engineer Campen contends
the engineering department cannot very
well go behind the requests of the gas
company, when a house number is given
to find out in every case Just what is In
tended. This particular case has seemed
to many of the councilman so flagrant that
an attempt will be made to have a test, In
court. If necessary. And in the meantime
the ordinance providing for the Issuance of
permit to cut the pavement will be made
more strict and definite.

Chauffeur Saves

Police Motor Driver Turns Off Gai
Flame as .Explosive Fluid
Creeps Nearer.
A can of powerfully explosive and In-
flamable disinfectant standing high on
shelf In the store room of the city Jail
was leaking a slender stream of the deadly
fluid, which oosed down a crack In the
plaster toward a burning gas Jet.
Slowly th stieam crept along, a moving
fuse to the canned terror ' above. A few
Inches more to seep along the plaster and
then the crash.
Tom Baughman, chauffeur-ln-chlef of the
police automobile fleet, passing through
the halls, detected the odor ot something
akin to gasoline. He pushed open the
stock room door and, guided more by in
stinct than discernment, dashed to the
light and turned It out.
Subsequent Investigation showed . that a
minute mot and the store room would
have been torn by a blast from th ex
ploding disinfectant, which could not but
have thrown fire and destruction Into
every recess ot th delapidated building.
Several other large cans of the same sub
stance were near by.

Sheriff Bralley recently went out into
Wheeler county to arrest Mr. Thompson,
but found that the rancher had left "for

But Mr. Thompson did not go so far south
that he could not hear what was going on
in Douglas county, and returning north

GUARDIANS' CLAIMS REFUSED
ENROLLING FAITHFUL T
FOLLOWERS OF KING I
I. J. Dunn and J. J. O'Connor Will
Not Get Slice of Bridget
Sweeney Estate.
Roll of Member of Ak-Sar-Ben Now
Number , Close to Six
Hundred.
The faithful of the kingdom are flocking
to the standard of Ak-Sar-Ben.
With a roll of S6S paid up members, a
record has been made in the office of Sam
son. Never before in the history of the
organisation have there been so many paid
up members at this season with the single
exception of the banner year of 1904. But
at that time the membership was boosted
by special recruiting officers of the king.
This year no special letters have been
Issued and no extraordinary effort set forth
to gain membership.
A rehearsal of the initiation was held
at the Den on Thursday night. The
Knights will assemble first In formal ses
sion on June 6.
I. J. Dunn and J. J. O'Connor's claims for
services in the matter of the guardianship
of Bridget Sweeney, have been disallowed
by County. Judge Lesli. Mr. Dunn asked
$300 and Mr. O'Connor had a bill of STOOL
J. A. Kennedy put In a claim for $400 for
acting as attorney to E. F. Leary, who was
appointed guardian of Mrs. Sweeney. Th
court allowed $350.
The other claims "If they should be filed
at an," said the court, "ougrit to be filed
against the -administration of the esta.
and not against th guardianship."
Mrs. Sweeney was the elderly woman
who waa 'adjudged an Incompetent and In
whose home several thousand dollars were
found in a tin box under the hearthstone.
Of more recent date was the dismissal of
her will and the supposedly good claim of
the state to her property. Since then blood
relations have sppcared as Interveners.
