OBJECT TO THE RESCUE HOME
( Southeast Improvement Club and
. Citizens Register Protest.
taSOHS FOE ACTION STATED
L&rranrement Completed for a Bigr
Celebration In RlverTiev Park
July 4 Other Thins Are
' , Considered. -
At a meeting of the Southwest Im
provement . club, attended by fifty club
members and a large number of citi
zen of the southeastern portion of the
city, held Monday night, action was taken
looking to the preventing of the Tlnley
rfteseue home at Fourth and Bancroft
streets- The matter will be taken up
with the state board of health, the
HOmaha city commission and other clvlo
authorities and If relief Is not secured,
resort will be had to the courts, the citi
zens . in the vicinity being determined
that the home shall not again be per
mitted to continue Its operations.
Resolutions Are Adopted,
i As a preliminary to the final action
that Is to be taken. . resolutions as fol
lows. were adopted.
Whereas, We understand that an at
tempt Is being made to reopen the Tin
ley Rescue home at Fourth and Ban
croft streets, Omaha, as a maternity
I hospital and also as a "Rescue ijorae"
under the same management as here
tofore,; and
Whereas, We are unalterably opposed
to the reopening of this so-called "Home"
either as a "Rescue Home" or as a
maternity hospital, at said location, for
various reasons, some of which are as
follows:
(a) We have no confidence in the
promises made by the parties who seek
ita reopen. this ".home; that they Avlll oper
lvu it in any different manner than it
I was formerly operated by them.;
(b) This "Home" 13 situated upon high
ground,- -upon the southeast corner of
Fourth and Bancroft streets; there is
no fence, hedge of other enclosure around
the premises, in order to shield the In
mates from the view of residents In that
locality and pedestrains along Bancroft
street or Fourth street.
. (c) Many children must necessarily
pass by this "Home" when going to and
from the Bancroft school, looated at
Seventh and Bancroft streets, and the
Douglas County Detention home at
Third and Bancroft, the Gibson school
and Rlvervlew park.
(d) Since this "Home" has been
closed, new residences have been In con
templation of erection, and it it is kept
closed, these and many others will be
built In that - vicinity, but we are sure
that if this "Home" is re-established
at Its present location, It will depreciate
the value of all residence property in
that vicinity and hinder the building of
residences in that district. Now. there-
' fore,
Be it resolved, that it Is the sense
: of this club that we urge the state
board of health and the city authorities
to refuse to grant a license to maintain
I a maternity hospital or "Rescue Home"
at Fourth and Bancroft streets, and that
we do all in our power, as a club and
as Individuals, to prevent the reopening
of said home at us present location.
; 'Further resolved, that a copy of .these
resolutions be transmitted to the state
I board ; of "health, and John J. Ryder,
superintendent of the department of po
'Jloo, sanitation and publio safety of the
City of Omaha."
Other Things Considered.
i A committee was appointed to wait
(upon City Commissioner McGovern and
find out from him why the grading of
' Ninth street, south from Bancroft, has
jbeen discontinued. It was reported to
,the club that the contractor who was
i doing the grading, partially completed
his work, and then pulled off his teams,
leaving the street In an Impassible con
dition. "Another committee will wait upon
Commissioner McGovern and request him
to use his lnfluenc in securing the open
ing of the old river road, from Bancroft
to Gibson. This road was closed some
years ago. If opened, and improved, It
4s said that It would be converted Into
a beautiful drive along the river bank.
The club took final action in relation
to the picnic to be held in Rlvervlew
park July t It Is to be a basket affair
with plenty of muslo and amusement fea
tures. Word was received to the effect
that the German Singing society will
be present and take part In the exer
cises. "v.
-Wilson Well Liked
When'He Was Here
In speaking of the nomination of Wood
row Wilson by the democrats for pres.
dent Mayor Dahlman said: "I w nl
for the man personally, but now that ti
lt nominated I am for him. I havo no
doubt but what he will bo able to beat
out Taft for the .presidency at the po.ls
In the fall. Wilson Is a clean-cut peiao-i,
and I don't know of a person who say
anything against Mm either as a man or
as a politician.
"He made a great impression while In
Omaha on his last visit this spring. He
Is a great friend of the young men, an.,
their vote will go a long ways toa.d
electing him. When he spoke here ho
poke before the University cluo at au

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA
Enos R. Leigh Elected President of
Board of Education.
W. E, SCHNEIDER IS SECRETARY
School Board Gives Its Support to
Superintendent Graham in School
Plavas and Appointment
of Teachers.
Strictly in accord with the agreement
made a year ago the school board at a
regular meeting last night reorganised
with Enos R. Leigh as pre.tetent for the
ensuing year. William Schneider, demo
crat and retiring president, became vice
president In place of Leigh and Secre
tary James P. Sullivan was elected by
a majority. The substitution of Presi
dent Leigh for Former President
Schneider is in line with the plan
worked out one year ago when Schneider,
a democrat, agreed to work with Leigh
and Koracek, two republicans, against
Hunter and Techout, democrats, and
members of the former majority. The
move of the two republicans took the
presidency from Yechout and threw It
Into the hands of Schneider with the un
derstanding that Leigh was to succeed
to the place this year.
In handing over the chairmanship last
night Schneider made a neat speech In
which he summed up the work of the
board during the past year. He took
especial pride In the fact that things
had been managed economically during
the year and that in the purchase of
coal there had been none of the former.
Irregularities. President Leigh In taking
over the new office thanked the board
and declared that he intended to be fair
to all". He asked for the co-operation of
the board in bringing the school system
to a higher development. The com
mittees to serve for the following year
were then read. They are:
Claims Committee Horacek, chair
man; dchnelder and Yechout.
Teachers' Committee-Schneider, chair
man; Leigh and Horacek.
Buildings and Grounds Leigh, chair
man; Hunter and Schneider.
Repairs and Supplies Horacek, chair
man; Leigh and Hunter.
Judiciary Hunter, chairman; Horacek
ahd Yechout.
Graham Is t'pheld.
When tne board had been reorgsn
lsed, Superintendent of Schools, N. M.
Graham, read a number of recommenda
tions, one of which contemplated the
'establishment of a kindergarten room at
Highland school. This motion was
passed by the board without dissent
While it had not been intended to con
elder the election of teachers until a later
meeting the board lost no time when
the subject came up but proceeded to
ballot upon teachers on the assigned,
elected and permanent lists. Later at
the suggestion of Member Hunter, Su
perintendent Graham prepared the list of
principals and superintendents and sub
mitted them. All names were balloted
upon and elected without exception.
It was further decided that the old
building now occupied by O'Donovan and
Pease as a garage on Twenty-fourth
and J street would b renovated and
equipped as a gymnasium for the stu
dents of the High school. Member Hora
cek made the commendation. An invita
tion from the Fourth of July Booster
club asked that the board, secretary
and attorney take part In the parade.

No Council Meeting;.
Although the Introduction of the ap
propriation ordinance was expected last
night, the council, for one reason or an
other, failed to make a quorum and the
meeting was postponed until this even
ing' at 7 o'clock. There were several
causes for the postponement. One gen
erally mentioned refers to the short force
In- the engineer's office. It is said tha
the crippling of the force will entail In
ternal trouble that will reach other de
partments. "Died of Pneumonia"
is never written of those who cure
coughs and colds with Dr. King's New

1808 OF THE SCHOOL RENEWS ACQUAINTANCES.
Secretary J. F. Burgess of the Board of
Education, by a vote of eight to four, was
left off the official roster last night,
and W, T. Bourke, a former member,
who resigned upon the assurance of his
friends on the board that he would get
the job, was elected to the 12,600 per year
position. The vote was by secret ballot.
A preliminary skirmish before the elec
tion indicated the majorltyylth which
the former member would be elected;
James Richardson, chairman . of - the
finance committee, Introduced a resolu
tion, limiting the secretary's term to one
year. It was defeated by a vote of nine
to three, Foster, Walker and Richardson
voting for it,
Bourke will take office August 1. M. F.
Sears Inquired if the board could raise
the new secretary's salary, but the at
torney declared the law prohibited it.
The conservative element, led by Dr. E.
Holovtchlner. succeeded In raising the
salary of D. Flnlayson, superintendent of
buildings, from $2,500 to $3,000 per year
Immediately after his election. Flnlayson
was sure of re-election and had a request
In for an Increase of salary before the
election was held. Immediately following
the election Holovtchlner read a state
ment from Finlayson In which he set
forth the reasons for the requested In
crease. Hs said that during his twelve
year of service he had saved the city
$10,000 on repairs.
James Richardson asked that the resolu
tion providing the Increase be postponed
for two weeks, because he understood
there were many school buildings In the
city In need of repairs that had been
repeatedly refused, and If such was true
Finlayson was not deserving of an In
crease. Holovtchlner forced the resolution and
RtcharSson's followers, with the excep
tion of Dr. J. J. Foster, deserted him.
Mnvimrd is Custodian.
The meeting was Interrupted once by a
contractor, who wrathfully attacked Dr.
Holovtchlner in his capacity as chairman
of the buildings and grounds committee.
President Courtney told the man, Gus
Hamel, that he would "put him out if
he didn't; shut up." Hamel walked out,
after declaring he would make trouble
for the board because he wasn't awarded
a contract.
Attorney Herring told him the board
had proceeded properly.
J. W. Maynard was re-elected custodian.
His terra of office was limited to one
year by vote.
An attempt was made to limit the secre
tary and the superintendent of buildings
to one year, but supporters of Holovt
chlner, Courtney and Attorney Carl Her
ring, won for the three year term. Three
membes refused to vote on the ballot for
Flnlayson. Maynard's salary Is $1,500 per
year.
Complaint Against Janitor,
Mr. Richardson expressed his Intention
to Investigate the condition of buildings
and If found In need of many necessary
repairs a fight to rescind the resolution
Increasing Finlayson's ' salary , may be
started! , Richardson caused the plumbing
inspector to Inspect the Columbian school
and repairs that had been refused by the
committee were ordered in.
Complaints against Otto Dickman, Jani
tor at Walnut Hill school, were received
from Mrs. C. Larsen and Mrs. H. R
Fair, who declared he annoyed young
girls and children. Complaint had been
made to the buildings and grounds com
mittee, to which the protests against
Dickman continuing in service were re
ferred. Attorney Herring reported that It would
be a very hard task to find out how many
pardons had been granted under the pres.
ent city administration, thereby losing
the fines to the board. However, 1e
said he would find out If the board ex
tended his time and gave him necessary
clerical help. John J. Mahoney, retiring
clerk of the police court, sent In a com
munication showing $12,780 In fines since
January.
Amendments to the rules were sub
mitted, but consideration was postponel
two weeks. The amendments give Super
intendent Flnlayson power to dismiss
Janitors at his pleasure and hire substi
tutes, those dismissed to have recourse
to the members of the board in due time
Richardson led a fight on this ruling,
saying It gave the superintendent too
much power.
