5 Trffi BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1P12. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA School Teachers Wonder Whether i .. Will Get Expected Raise. DEFENDS TJTOT THE ITKAJfCES Cattlemen Divide as to Aetul ' Aim of Scareltr ef Stock- Armonn May Enlarge Tnelr Plant. School teachers of South Omaha are wondering whether they will receive the raise of salary for which they have fought ' o long and ardently. At a meeting of the school board last Monday night a resolu :tlon contemplating a monthly wage of 185,. with a minimum of 5, was Intro' duced. The resolution applied only to the geade teachers as a class and was based upon a graduated scale of $5 Increase for very year of service until the maximum rat had been attained. . The .board while willing' to para the resolution' allowing the increase, is not blind to the fact that the teachers salary fund for next year win be in a very bad condition early in October. Heretofore the board has ordered the payment of registered warrants drawn against the expected resources for the year. This year City Treasurer John GIli:n has An nounced that he will change his former policy of issuing registered warrants in excess of 90 per cent of the levy. This will put the teachers up against it as the board can not force Glllln to Issue regis tered warrants In excess of 90 per cent, In which case the present salary of the teachers as well as the raise sought will be la doubt More Grass-Fet Cattle. i'-THrUe the live stock receipts at the local yards for this week show a decrease of 10,000 head under the receipts of the corresponding week of a year ago, they -ere W00 head above this time last week and Indicate that the market will Be stronger from now on, with a consequent ; reduction on the price of beef. Live stock men at tho local market are divided upon the real condition of the cattle market. - Some maintain that the scarcity of cattle 18 onpredecented in the history of the market. ' They Insist that the feeder lots , have been cleaned out and that they will ' have to be replenished before the price of beef will go down again. Others main- - tain that while corn fed cattle are scarce enough the grass cattle are plentiful. 7 They assert that the packers are buying grass fed cattle at a low price compared with the $8 and $10 feeder stock. The - gram fed cattle are selling at and 17 per hundred. - Zfen conversant with the situation say that the high price of beef is not at tributable to the scarcity of cattle which they say haa not been more than usually ' affected by the last winter. The high ' price of beef, they say. Is based upon r artificial causes produced by the commer cial fluctuations. Marian Park.

IGORROTE SOCIETY DANCES Great Sport Swinging Barefooted Girls, Writes Omaha Boy. STRANGE SIGHTS D0FT S0THEB, Dasky IHalda In Bathing- Object to Having: Pictures Taken Splash Water Upon Young Pho-aosrrapher. Persistent Advertising is the Road to Big Returns. Visions of his own head swinging in the bangoo of some ambitious Igorrote chief tain, disturbed the slumbers of Henry O. Bowman, an Omaha boy, son of Mrs. F. Bowman, 1229 South Fifteenth street, on the eve of his departure for the heart of the heart of that section of the Philip pines in which the savage head-hunters still abound. But the American lad found that the coming of the Americans already had tamed the Igorrote and he no longer thirsted for gore or if he did he lacked the courage to try to quench that thirst. Now young Bowman dances with the dusky Igorrote maids and they are not such poor dancers, at that according to letters received from him. Among these natives ; who wear the simple garb commonly called a "gee string," Bowman says he has seen strange sights and had strange experiences. Bowman Is a civil engineer, graduate of the Omaha High school and of the school of engineering of the University of Ne braska. Since leaving the university he has been in the Philippines in the employ of the bureau of lands. In January, 1912, Bowman wrote to an Omaha friend: Amonr the Head-Huntera.' . "They notified me that they are going to send me into the Igorrote head-hunting co'untry, I bought a new supply of rec ords for my phonograph and I got some sentimental ones. I charmed some wild natives with the machine more than once and I guess maybe it would be a good thing to have It along, for you can never tell when It may come handy. "I was asked if I wanted an American assistant and I bravely said, 'No,' and I am sure I will regret it as soon as I get away from Manila. I shall probably not be back at Manila for a whole year. There Is no mall where I am going and I will probably be lonesome at times after the fine times I had In Manila. Here Is hoping I may hear from you before the natives hang my head high in their wigwams." In May, 1912, the same Omaha friend again hears from Mr. Bowman In a Ions and interesting letter, extracts from which are as follows: 1 never hire a native who comes to me with shoes on. When they get shoes on they are worthless. I have scads of them come to me and ask for jobs and I say, 'AH right; get a bolo and come around at 6:80 in the morning.' Then they say, 'Sir, I want to be you? sorlblente (secretary). I don't want to work as a laborer.' About that time they begin to look for the door and make their getaway before I get to them. My per sonal valet is an Igorrote boy, but I have no more. i "They wear nothing but a gee string, and I . was surprised at first at some of the sights I saw. I am used to all these sights now and they don't bother me. I created some excitement the other day when I walked up to a bunch of women In bathing and took their picture. They splashed water at me and had a rough house trying to get away, but I got them, anyway. "I was at a dance last night and got home at 4 o'clock this morning. It is great sport swinging these barefooted girls around, especially when they are hardly bigger than a minute alongside of me." Mr. Bowman's letters are not confined to the pleasures, of his surroundings alone. He gives a lot of information In regard to his work in the surveying of the lands of the Islands, where, as he says, he has 848 parcels of land to sur. vay that vary from one to forty acres each. Ed Morrison Hurt ' in Auto Accident as He Speeds Car Ed F. Morrison, formerly connected with the police department as a detective, is at St. Catherine's hospital suffering from a concussion of the brain and cuts about the face and body, the result ofi an atito accident on the Sarpy Mills foad at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Morrison was returning from the Sarpy county resort in his car with a friend, whose ldentity could not be learned. A couple of miea from South Omaha an other car overtook the one In which Mor rison was riding and the former officer challenged Its driver to a race. The challenge waa accepted and the two cars raced evenly until within a mile from South Omaha. A bolt in the steer ing gear of Morrison's car broke and the car turned over, crashing over a thirty foot embankment. Morrison was pinned under the car, but his companion miracu lously escaped Injury by being hurled Into a pile of soft mud. The police say that since Morrison was suspended from the department he had gradually been losing his reason. During the last few days especially, they say he has been doing many queer things and they have been requested by his wife to look after him. CARPENTER FOUND DEAD; ASPHYXIATED BY ACCIDENT Charles Randall, a carpenter, aged 60 years, was found dead In bed at 6 o'clock last night In his room at 2411 Lake street, as a result of accidental or Intentional asphyxiation. His wife and three children are visiting at Merna, Neb., and Randall has been keeping bachelor quarters dur ing their absence. According to neighbors he had been drinking Friday night and evidently went to sleep while Intoxicated. Attending circumstances point to accidental death, but the coroner Is investigating both theories. Investigation by the police last night showed that the man . had no motive for suicide, as hlo domestic rela tions were apparently happy and he was not known to be in financial trouble. . BOYS LOSE RUNAWAY FEVER AND STAV HOME Whether the modern circus has lost the old time allurement for small boys, or whether the small boys have changed, Is a question that is perplexing "Doc" Car ver, juvenile officer. Carver says that usually after a circus leaves town, he has to look for at least a dozen runaway boys. This time, however, he says not a complaint reached his ears. JUDGES REPLACE M HOSE Fair Jootracer at Printing Trades Picnic Slides for Goal. BRAND 2IEW STOCKINGS SIPPED Cash ffor New Ones Handed Her Gene Turner Talks of Individual nd Matnal Benefit for Trades, In the office girls' foot race at the printing trades picnic yesterday a fair contestant slipped when about four feet from the finish line, ripped a brand new pair of black silk stockings, and stained her white summer togs a glaring grass green hue. The judges at the finish contributed enough legal tender to pay for the damaged hosiery, but nothing but soap and aqua pura win ivetore to their former clean daintiness the white drees. A regular old fashioned outing, full of thrills and pleasures for the grown folks as well as the "kiddles," and an endless array of toothsome edibles and lemonade made from real lemon juice this waa the printing trades picnic, held at Rlvervlew park under the auspices of Ben Franklin club of Omaha. Fully 1,600 people mado merry from 9 o'clock in the morning until the early hours of the evening. All print ing 'shops In the city were closed for the day. - Following, as It did, on the heels of the circus, the "kids" were in good form to imitate the stunts of the sawdust ring and an anxious mother had to restrain her 7-year-old boy from climbing down into a bear's cage and teaching Bruin a few tricks. "All printing shops should have weekly fire drills," said Mr. Turner. "Arrange ments should be made to have the em ployes prepared when a blaze threatens. Not only the pressmen, but the com positors, bindery men and office girls should be drilled. "The value of the time ticket also should be appreciated by all employes of the printing trades. This system Is used for the purpose of bringing about a harmonous relation between the em ploye and the employer." Mr. Turner left for Chicago last night Other speakers were C. E. Corey, L. J., Qulnby and Harry L. " Tostevin. C E.' Corey was marshal of the day. Press Kennedy of Kansas City, a mem ber of the secret Pica organization, was on hand for the outing as were three or four local members of that mystic fraternity. The "welcome" arch on Far nam street was lighted up last evening with the initials Pica and caused con siderable guessing as to the meaning. When the card of foot races and other sport events was carried out no record was kept of the winners, each contestant taking his or her award and hurrying away. Cash prizes and cigars made up the prize list. ....

TAXI SKIDS, KNOCKING PEDESTRIAN TO STREET Frank Haley, a teamster living at 2767 South Ninth street, suffered painful lacer ations to his legs and head last night at 8 o'clock when he stepped Into the path of an auto from a northbound Benson car at Thirteenth and Pine streets. The auto was driven by W. A. Ellis, a chauf feur for the Showalter' taxi livery, who was taking a party to South Omaha. According to witnesses, the accident was clearly the fault of the chauffeur, who failed to slow up at the crossing.

The Tennessee" AMONG all the darin? deeds of the naval encounters during the Civil War, the one that stands out superlatively is the gallant manner in which Admiral Buchanan fought his vessel, the "Tennessee." We have read of Paul Jones and his reply, "I have not yet begun to fight;" of Admiral Dewey's, "You may fire when ready, Gridley;" but Buchanan's address to his men will live long after the Civil War, the War with Spain, or the Revolutionary War ceases to be a memory. The snrkiased waters of Mobile.Bay, on- that eventful morning .ot August 5, 1864, when Buchanan uttered his stirring words, was the arena of more conspicuous heroism than marked any naval battleground of the entire war. Farragut's undertaking in forcing his way into the Bay across the channel planted with torpedoes, has been recorded in history. How he ascended to the rigging of the main-mast, in order that he might have an unob structed view of the conflict, every school-boy knows; hundreds of paintings have pictured "Daring Dave" in this position; thousands of men remember the death-defying run past Ports Morgan and Gaines but of the real truth of the battle: the battered walls of Port Morgan, the accuracy of the fire from Confederate forts, how Buchanan matched Farragufa daring deedwe knew but IftUe until the discoveryof the Long-lost, Original Leoldog at these photographs wo sw'Tbe Fort After the Bombardment" the walls telling at a terrific omashlng by the ; Federal navy.
