J E. Holovtchiner, vlca president of the
xharter convention and president of the
Board of Education, has carried his fight
with City Health Commissioner R. W.
Connell Into the charter board and will
attempt to "eliminate Connell' by mak
ing his office elective, believing no
health commissioner can bo elected after
having served a term In the office."
Holovtchlner's proposition Is now In
the hands ot the "general committee of
five, and will probably be reported to
the. whole convention, where It will be.
the center of a merry fight, as Connell
. has numerous friends on the charter com-
: mission.
Holovtchlner says he has nine votes
for his proposition arid 'his opponents
eay they have ten. As there aro only
fifteen members on the commission tho

WHO PEEPED IN WINDOW
Mrs. Stetfe, 2711 South Fifteenth street,
awoke Wednesday about midnight and
glancing toward the window ot her bed

peering In through the glass. Her screams
aroused her husband and two sons, who
upon learning of the happening, rushed
out-of-doors In time to capture Major
Cook, who was hoisting his frame over
the rear fence.
The three men took their captive to the
. home of Officer Chadaock, who resides
in the same block, and he In turn took
tho man to the station. Cook was given
ninety days.

bo a day school.
Plans of tho board are to move boiiip
of tho buildings from Miller Park school
to Thirtieth and Brown, where the school
district owns a stretch of ground. 120x
2T0 feet. This ground will bo used for
gardens. It Is believed that about twenty
five boys will begin work In tho new
school next fall .
Superintendent Graff has been plan
ning for several vrnrn In ...inMi.t,
a school in the Interest of the boys who
have been giving their- teachers a lot of
trouble and have been backward In thoir
work. At tho new school they will bo
given Individual Instruction.
Una lluil Hxitcrlrnce.
"Gepson Is a good man," said Super
intendent Graff, "and ought to d6 good
work In such a school. He has had ex
perience with boys and has proven him
self copablo of handling them."
For seven years Cnrvpr han hon In
probation work in Omuha and during
that time has built up a reputation i for
being able to deal successfully with the
so-called "bad boys." The new office
of truancy will represent nn Increase of
nearly 1600 in his. annual solan-. ir hn
not formally accepted tho offer of the
position, out as lie will not have to
assume office Until fall, ho will take
It. He will draw 11,800 a year as truant
officer, Gepson will recelvo tho same
salary as principal of tho new school.
ucpson was Dorn in Dunlap, la., and
educated at the Iowa university, be
ginning hlB work there .in 1S37. Ho

quents and resigned his superintenilency
tb come to Omaha.
Kmnv the Dud Iloya.
During his work in Omaha he has come
in contact with all manner of boys and
has an acquaintance among parents ot
the city wider than any other local edu
cator. He has been responsible for doing
away with child labor almost completely,
and has compelled parents to keep their
children In School when there was not
BUfflctenfcauso for granting them per
mits to go to work.
"In the majority of cases the parents
really do not need the money their chil
dren can earn," sand Gepson, "and they
can be made to see the advisability ot
having them continue their school work:
Gepson says some of the boys, hearing
that manual training, printing and ag
riculture will be taught have of them
selves applied for entrance. An exper
lenced printer will be appointed to aid
Gepson, Tho faculty will consist of two
men at the beginning. Only men will
bo hired as teachers there. Superintend

Deputy United States Marshal McCal

SLIPS A REPQJSniON BY HIM
5nys Mlchaelsen Unit Htm Slsrn
llrquUltlon for nn Automobile
When lie 111 it Not Know
What lie AVna Slnnlnk.
Charles M. Wlthnvtl, headof the de
partment of city flro protection, and
water supply, who peremptorily dismissed
City Electrician Waldemar Mlchaelsen
from office gave his reasons for so do
ing. Ho said:
"I made It a point to trust Mlchaelsen
and depend on him. The head ot this
department, as well as tho other com
missioners, must sign a large number ut
requisitions on the city purchasing agent
for supplies. Mlchaelsen brought me
about twenty-five of these requisitions
)o sign one morning.
"I glanced through the requisitions and
signed thrm. I did not examine thm
carefully. Later I found he had put In
a requisition for an automobile for him
self to cost 13.000. Any supplies for the
city costing over 150 must be advertised
for and naturally he requisition was not
honored.
"However. Mlchaelsen kept this requisi
tion and showed It to a number ot peo
ple, telling them I would sign anything.
No business man, I believe, would keep
such an employe and I felt that It was
not safe to keep him. Ot course, I ought
to havo examined alt the requisitions
carefully, and you can depend on It I
will In the future, but It Is customary
for a man to put some dependence In his
employes. When you can't depend on
them they ought to be let out."
Mlchaelsen, who said ho would mako
charges that Wlthnell had violated city
ordinance's, "slept over It" and decided
he would not, at this time, say anything
further. He has Intimated that he will
"spring something" later.
