GEORGE W. POWELL.
This Young Student
is Up Against It
Superintendent K. V. Graff Is wrestling
with a problem which may ultimately re
quire the combined efforts of th high
school faculty to solve. The 400 boys In
the school have pledged themselves to a
reformation honceforth the vile and nox
ious weed Is not to be consumed on the
school grounds nor within a radius of
two blocks of tli school, or by any cadet
in uniform. This is unanimous. Now
comes the rub. A strapping young fel
low unfolded his predicament to Principal
Kale Mcliugh. It was too much fer her
and she has passed It to the superinten
dent. After all the others had romped
home this youngster, who enjoys a quiet
smoke, came to the principal wltb a se
rious look. "What am I going to do,
now," he questioned, "you see, I am
pledged not to smoke within a radius of
two blocks of the school, and I live
within one block- of the High School
building."
Fire Protection
to Be Demanded
Edward T. Morris, assistant state In
spector of theater and lodging houses,
will notify twenty Oman residents) Mon
day morning that they are not complying
with the statute governing the. Installation
of (Ire escapes. After a lapse of ten
days, If the) notified bare not begun to
build outside escapee or construct auto
matic escapes, Loul V. Guy, state In
spector, will be furnished the names and
will" start proceedings against them at
once.
"Wo do not intend to fore flat dwell
ers to erect unsightly stairway on their
buildings," said Mr. Morris, "but we
want some method of escape in cas of
fire. Automatic fire escapes may ba
used In lodging- houes and flats where
there are no long hallways, which In
creases the danger in the event of a
fire." .

COLORED LAD SAYS WHITE
BOYS FORCE HIM TO BE BAD
Clarence Boruds, colored, of the High
land school of South Omaha declared
before tha Juvenile court when brought
there on a charge of "carving a play.
mate" that Ills wrong consisted In re.
fusing to fight until battle was forced
upon him.
"I'm a pretty decent guy," said th
little fellow, "and I know I'nj not all
wrong. When I went to school the
white beys wanted me to fight for
them, but I told thorn I vu trying to
be decent and wouldn't fight When
they caught me alone colored boy nd
white beat me. Two of them were after
me, one with a brick and the other with
a knife, when I done stuck tills other
with the knife.
"No, I'm not a wise guy," continued
the colored lud, "and I'm honest They
cent me to (he Detention home onVe be
cause I tried to be decent end the boys
wouldn t let me. I went alone onrt I
had never been there, either. Tli other
boy a told me that if I had been a wise
guy I would have run away." '
The Judge continued the case until
rext Baturday, when the playmates of
poruds will b brought into court and
asked tt give their aide of the cas. The
colored lad displayed a reasoning fac
ulty that confounded his que.tloner ai
time and led them to decide on . a
