Hoiovtchiner Left as Candidate for
Repabllcaas and Democrats in
Second Ward Spalding to '
Stay 'in II ace.
The republican pity central committee
at a meeting In room 238 of The Bee
building last night, nominated Edmund
V. Leavenworth for " Member of the
Board of Education, from the Eighth
ward, to run In opposition to Dr. S. R.
Spalding, former preHldent of the board
and how candidate by petition.
At about the same time the democratic
city central committee nominated, by a
vote of .16 to t, A. C. Wakeiey for the
ame position, the nomination being se
cured over Joe Wright, a hnrber and
deputy sheriff. ,. ,
The democrats refused to consider the
nomination of a candidate from the Sec
ond ward, whero President F,. Hoiovtchi
ner of the school board received the
democratic and republican nomination
Bob" Holmes Insisted that a man be
nominated on the democratic ticket to
oppose Hoiovtchiner on the republican
ticket, but Chairman J. J. Mahoney de
clared the meeting adjourned. '
Why Doctor Stays On.
Chairman Flynn of the democratic city
central committee engineered the Indirect
endorsement of Hoiovtchiner. In exten
uation of tneir sctlons the Hoiovtchiner
adherents said there was a casa In the
supreme court, carried up from Lancaster
county, that was simitar to the Hoiovtchi
ner case and If it was decided ngalnst
the man who received the nomination
of both parties, Hoiovtchiner ' would be
eliminated from the democratic ticket
and ''Doo" Pk'kard, who received the
next highest number of democratic votes,
would be declared the nominee.
However, In the Lincoln cane the city
Central committee, unwilling to lean on
th outcome of the case, nominated an
other man.
Dr. Braiding, who has filed from the
Eighth ward, said 'last night that he
would continue In the contest, regardles
of the action of the city central com-
mltte, which met lust night, as did the
democratic committee also, for the first
time In two years.
ProarenslreN Are Active.
It Is rumored that the "progressives"
are lining up in the Second ward and
are considering the advisability of put
ting a man In nomination to oppose
Hoiovtchiner and Plckard if lie Is de
clared on the ticket
Leavenworth, who Is a present mem
ber of the Board of Education, was ap
pointed to the position at the request of
Hoiovtchiner, when W. T. Bourkc, now
secretary, resigned.
Anti-Holovtchincr members of the
board are working for Spalding, who, it
is understood, Is opposed to the Hoiovtchi
ner presidency.

DISCIPLES OF CHRIST WILL
MEET NEXT YEAR AT TORONTO
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct 19.-Toronto
was chosen tonight as the meeting place
of next year's International convention
of the Disciples of Christ The choice
was made by the American Christian
Missionary society, as is customary, the
corelated organisations in the Christian
church abiding by its decision. It is
practically decided that the 1915 conven
tion will go to Los Angeles.
George Miller of Washington, P. C.
waa elected president of the society and
other officers, follow! First vice presi
dent, F. A. Henry, Ohio; second vice
president, Llnley G. Gordon, Kentucky;
third vice president. F. M. Rogers, Cali
fornia; secretaries. Dr. I. N. McCash and
0. K. Lewis, Cincinnati; recorders, Ste
phen Zendt Illinois, and R. S. Forrilt,
New York. ' R. M. Hopkins of Covington,
Ky., was chosen superintendent of the
Sunday school work of the society.
sturdy Greeks, impatient to take up
arms against the Turks, are beginning to
pour Into Omaha from all parts of the
west, bound for New York to take pas
sage for the port of Perlaa, a few miles
from Athens, where the Grecian army
will be mobilised for ,the joint Balkan
advance,
. Transports are now being docked in
New York to carry the patriots home,
snd there la a general rush from the
western part of the United States to get
aboard the first steamer. Patriotism
seems to be unbounded. .
Get Heady to Leave.
Those of the countrymen of Omaha are
getting everything In shape to leava here
for the east next Tuesday. On Thirteenth
street, In the Greek quarter, everyone Is
Impatient, and to look upon the serious
faces on Is reminded of the historical
accounts of how the Grecian warriors
combed their hair before the defense of
the Pass of Thermopylae under Leonldas,
"That's it," declared Lieutenant Pericles
Cokas, prominent Omaha Greek, "they
all try to look nice before they go Into
battle." Bo it is on Thirteenth street
every Greek is grooming himself .for
either death or victory. Every eligible
subject Is going to the front for the
colors.
Fighting- Blood Aroused.
The fighting blood Of the Greek Is some
thing at which to marvel. None expects
to return, except as victor, and the
patriotlo silence that exists In the quarter
appeals to everyone through whose veins
fed blood runs.
The locai Greeks look to Lieutenant
Cokas as their leader, and he is calmly
moving about them, managing1 their af
fairs in a general way, and stirring them
to battle. He expects to leave here Tues
day evening with enough men to form
several companies of infantry , and
artillery.
Bnck to His iieejlment.
Lieutenant Cokas Is an artilleryman,
attached to the Thrd company, Grecian
artillery, now stationed In the northern
division of King George's domain, and
by custom and tradition he must return
to his regiment. If the official roster of
his company is filled when he returns
he will be assigned by his commanding
officer to another company, going .back
Into the service as a lieutenant. He Is
full of fighting blood and heroism, and
his friends here expect him to return
ranking higher and with medals on his
breast.
In going to the front he Is sacrificing a
business of more than ordinary propor
tions. Including several large bakeries
tn this country', one of which Is located
here. His brothers ar associated with
him.
Only trained men those who have
served In the OrecUn standing army are
Called at this tlm. All volunteers are
excluded, but It Is likely that they will
be called later on, The situation Is best
explained in a telegram received yester
day from New York by Lieutenant
Cokas, - who la president of the Omaha
Pan-Hellenic union:
"Next week steamers leave Thursday,
Friday and Saturday., Cable us how
many reservations you need and con
tinue subscriptions energetically. Our
country needs all men called. We need
money to help them, and they must
leave as soon as possible. You will pro
vide from your subscription funds to
New York for destitute men, and we
will provide them here with tickets to
Greece. Continue remitting us funds as
fast as possible. Don't send any volun
teers. Government refuses them. Our
country expects every man to do hla
duty and victory will be our reward.
"SINADIN06 PAPAMICHALOPOULCs"
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade today says:
Business activity In this country con
tinues to advance unchecked by the politi
cal complications in Europe and the fears
that they have caused abroad.
Next to the assurance of unprecedented
harvests the most gratifying business
development is that tne great expansion
in the Iron and steel trade has pro
ceeded without, us yet, any unwholesome
developments.
The car shortage and the scarcity of
labor cause, however, more embarrass
ment In some sections. Conservatism is
tliowri in accepting future business. Most
mills are DooKed aht-aG ior practically
six months on important products, so that
new orders are not expected to continue
at the recnt pace. Purchasing of pig
Iron Is on a heavy scale, however, and
the general pJce situation reflects fur
ther strencth. Crude steel material re
mains In scant supply and quotations are
very firm for virtually all - finished
descriptions. The new pi-Ice list on black.
oiue ana anntaiea ana galvanized sheets
calls for a rise of SI a ton with No. 23
black sheets at 12.26 and ealvanlsed at
?.(.40. Additional rail contracts Include
90.000 tons of open hearth for one promi
nent system, Dut the demand is some
what less active as a heavy business
has been placed for rolling stock early
next year. Orders for fully ,OD0 cars
were awarded this week and nearly 18,0v0
more are pending.
Dry goods markets are steady despite
lower quotations for raw cotton and a
tendency to move slowly until after the
election. Repeat orders are frequent and
jobbing houses are not allowing their
stocks to run as low as last year. There
Is still considerable curtailment of out
put due to scarcity of labor and shorter
hours. Mills engaged on knit goods and
hoHlery ore very busy and' running over
time. Dress goods and men's wear in
woolens and worsteds are in an excep
tionally good position from a mercantile
and manufacturing standpoint. Silk nov
elties are selling well. Silk ribbons have
been advanced.
The dry goods markets are notably
strong. .Orders are now large and the
majority call for early delivery. New
England manufacturers are fully em
ployed and have urgent demand for early
shipment. The same element of strength
that has characterised the leather mar
ket for some time continues pronounoed
and supplies are considerably short of
requirements. The market for hides con
tinue very strong and prices are above
ail previously established quotations.

At the same time, intermediate dis
tributors are placing some orders lor
future shipment, but as matter stand
it Is prompt business that possesses the
more significant aspects. Shipping
rooms of many of the leading merchan
dise houses are forced to work double
turns In order to facilitate shipments.
On the other hand, retail trade has not
enjoyed a full share of the activity wit
nessed in other quarters. Mild weather
In varolus parts of the country has mili
tated agaliiHt the freest distribution of
staples, though In sections where the
weather has been seasonable a good
turnover has been enjoyed.
Iiiduiitrlai operations tn the principal
lines have not lost any of their well
known activity. The Iron and steel In
dustry continues to- move at a very rapid
gait and, in short, many finished prod
ucts are sold up for six months to come,
so that even if the pace of new business
has abated a little, the future can be
viewed with more than ordinary equan
imity. Labor remains scarce, which factor to
gether with the Increasing car shortage,
restricts operations and retards deliv
eries In a multiplicity of lines other than
Iron and steel.
