Two; purring floe trie fans 'Mw ths
tnjolderttit embers of argument of tb
membr ot the Board of Education Into
flame Monday night when Mftnber M. K.
Heart, who had bean scanning the rejKrt
of the claims committee, Ipnocently in
quired If Secretary W. T. Bourke had
sold the auppUes committee two electrte
fans which originally coat him $3 for
27.60.
He had switched on-the juice!
Vice President Parsons was in the chair.
President Holovtchlner waa tranquilly
chewing the end of his clrar, but ipraog
instantly to his feet
He waa shocked!
Koundly he lambasted the insurgent
Bears. The air grew hot and cold by
turns. Poets speak of vagrant breezns,
but this was the other kind. I; was
HolovfcMner who onca ltd the valiant
seven of the board to the battle In which
J. F. Burgess lost his Job as secretary
and W. T. Bourke resigned ss member
of the board to replace him.
' These insinuations cut the doctor t
the heart. T
Bourke staked permission to explain.
lie said he had bought these fans and
paid $27.50 each for thsra, had used them
t"T two months and found that he had
, no more urgent need of them. That was
several weeks ago, he satd. and hs had
forgot to send In a bill.
Sears called for Duncan Flnlayson,
Superintendent ol buildings.
V'Finlayson. didn't you tell me those
fans cost IH eachf hs asked.
' Flnlayson was ia a quandary
showed It.
parka From' HoIortcJiiarrr.
Before the superintendent of buildings
could answer, 'Dr. Hotovtchlner was de
nouncing Bears and the methods ha was
employing to secure a reply to his query.
"This la a shame," the doctor declared,
"you are questioning Mr. Bou rice's word.
He has told you what the fans cost him.
Now yoo want to bring one official' of
this board In to contradict the statement
of another. I protest against it Mr.
Bourke' word is good enough for me."
', Sears flared back I ',
"You can't mussic me. There are soma
things In this board thai I want to And
out. I am going to ask questions when
anything comes up that doesn't look
right to me. You can't stop ma!"
They decided to leave It to Vice Presi
dent Parsons, but Bourke Interceded to
allow Flnlayson to .testify.
Flnlayson said 'be had spoken off-hand
and couldn't say exactly what these fans
did cost H remembered something
about it, but not enough to say anything
positively. It had coma before the sup
piles committee, and the fana had been
bought. "He didn't know how much such
fans usually cost' ' '"'
i i Gentleman's WoK Pnotiah.
Holovtchlner and Sears were on the
floor for another sat-to when C. T. Wal
her declared tho board had no right to
1 doubt Bourke' s word. He said II the fans
were big faWUtey uadpubtediy cost what
TinltrkV lM ihnV post. ' 'I,? '
Jimmy Richardson,' chairman of the
claims' oommlttee.; suggested that the bill
be allowed and Ota supplies oommlttee, ot
which H. X. Plumb i chairman, bs asked
to make an explanation.
Plumb declared ha didn't remember any
thing about' tha fans.
. An investigation will be made and the
supplies j committea will than report to
tha board. "! t
Theas fans wera v formerly used in
Bourke's tailor shop.' One of them was
placed Is tha Board of Education's store
bouse. Kobody could tell what had be
come of the other.
' Scars told tha board; after tha excite
ment began to wane, that ha wu seeking
Information and nothing else and would
ba satisfied if the supplies committee
would bring In tha expected explanation.
Another disruption occurred over a blU
for $180 submitted by Architect Latenser
for services of '-'Bitter f Mott, structural
and reinforcing1 concrete engineers, In
connection with the uniform plan."
H.t ,l Plumb of tha buildings and
grounds committee said it looked to him
like tha .board would be assuming a
philanthropic attitude If this money waa
given Latenser.' .
Dr. Holovtchlner said .there was no
doubt but what Latenser deserved It" It
seemed that Latenser had asked these
men to draw up the "uniform plan" ordi
nance which Is now the basis for all
architectural work in the schools.
Holovuthlner pleaded for the passage of
tha claim and had apparently won his
fight when the insurgents suddenly called
for a vote and turned down the claim by
a vote of five to four.
This waa the first small victory of the
Insurgent, antl-Helovtchlner faction since
tha doctor became president of the board.
The vote stood: For Holovtchlner, Judge
Foster. Leavenworth. Parsons; against
Plumb, Dr. Foster, Klchardson, Sears,
Walker.,-,
.Omaha chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, through the secre
tary, Fannie V. Adaml,1 asked that the
name, of .the "Omaha High school be
changed to the Capitol Hill High school
in commemoration of that historic spot.
The cpmssunicaOon was placed , on file
iand a vote on the proposition , will be
'taken at the next meeting. President
HoIovtcWner spoke in favor ot the sug
gested namiu, ..."

poses were authorised as follows: Twelve

The presence of Bertha Kalich at the
Orpheum this' Week Is drawing to that
bouse an unusual number of people,
many ot whom do not ordinarily pay a
graat deal of attention to the tabloid
drama. But this is a really Important
engagement; it is the first appearance
In the olty of a woman who has writ
her name large in tha annals of tha
theater, and although shs Is showing
her powers in a brief drama, it is
enough to prove her wonderful ca
pacity. "A Light From St. Agnes'"

and the effort of a priest to draw her

The sordlduess of tho surroundings
heightens the dramatic action of tha
little sketch, and by means of the won
derful personality of the stai it Is mado
Impressive to the last degree. Omaha
folks will hope that in good time Mad
ame Kalich may be seen here In a full
length play, but in the meantime they
will crowd the Orpheum at each per
formance to see her in this remarkable
sketch, and hot care a great deal
whether her temperamental qualities
permit .her to Indulge in newspaper In

Promises of the Tress Agents.
Mips Lang Is cloning her engagement
at the Brandeis with another triumph,
in "The Spendthrift" shs is doing some
exceptionally fine Work, and her friends
are congratulating her nightly by fill
ing the house. The next matinee will
b on Wednesday afternoon.
The Brandeis yesterday booked Joseph
Howard and Mabel McLaln in "Tho
Goddess of Liberty," to appear the lat
ter part of next week, following "Tht
Country Boy."
The engagement of "The Bird of Para
dise" at tha Boyd promises to be a record-maker
for the season. The groat
scenio production and the unusually
strong company presenting the Interesting
play Is a combination that has caught on
with the public. A matinee will be playort
on Wednesday afternoon.
Following "The Confession" at the Buyd
comes "A Modern hive, one of Mort
Singer's latest triumphs, and then for the
week beginning November 8 the- Aborn
company comes to present eight grand
operas in English.

brand new show at the popular Oayety
this week "American Beauties" is not
only bright and tuneful, but gorgeously
staged and thoroughly entertaining. La

There's mighty good reason why ths
dally matinee at the American Hippo
drome should be so much larger this week
than any week thus far. "Effie," the
mental marvol, Is allowed fully twice as
much time for her bewildering demonstra
tion of telepathy during the afternoon
performances than she is at night, thus

tling of the estate the fund has Increased

original sum and about Jin, 000 Interest. .
The case has been In the courts for al
most three years and one clause after
another was Interpreted by the court In

tled by compromlss or fought out. Borne
time ago when ths three district court
Judges found for the working girls and
fixed the gift at $85,000 in was decided to
drop litigation, but a number of friends
of the Working Girls' Home asked ex-

opened last night with an enrollment of
800, 150 In each school. At least fifteen
nationalities were represented, although

assigning them to rooms. The fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades will be filled
with American students. The lower
grades will be utilized in the main by
foreign-born children.
