School Board rrealdent and Proba

American Schools,
Carl Ilcring, attorney for tho Board of
Education, la examining Into tho provl
alons of a law pawed by the recsnt leg
islature which make a It compulsory upon
boards of education to teach foreign lan
guages (oriental tongues excepted) In
public schooln Upon petition, e.ni It la
understood, although not announced of
ficially that the law will be contested If
any loopholes are found In It
Since this law wan passed serial pe
titions have- been filed with the Board of
Education to teach Bohemian, German
and Italian In the (trade schools. The
school board believes this move niay de
velop so much that the work of the
schools In English will be seriously han
dicapped. The law does not become operative, until
Labout the middle of this month, a-a one
claim, whtch may bo made to tho courlu
by the Board of Education Is that tho '.Pe
titions were not secured and ill hi Under
any oporntlvo law.
President E. Holovtchlntr of the Board
of Education said:
"We are go,lng.lnto the law nn1 until
we find out exactly what It provides vu
do not know what will be .done, Any ac
tion, of course, will devolve upon our
attorney."
While petitions to .teach foreign lan
guages tn the grades havo been signed n
some settlements considerable opposition
to such a course has been created, on
the ground mainly that It will Interfere
with other work, prove a great expense
and be rnther useless after all.
Dr. Iiolovtchlner himself speaks half
dozen languages fluently, but ho belle res
English Is good, enough for Americans.
E. D. Gepson, principal of the special
school for delinquent boys, Is earnestly
opposod to the measure. Gepson comes
of a Scandinavian family, but believes the
teaching of foreign languages is "un
necessary In American schools, unless It
be Jn the high schools.' Young children
he believes should be taught the language
of the country In which they live. Holo
vtchlner says the Board 6f Education is
very seriously considering this problem
they are destined to face whon school
opens In the fall.

WOMAN YABTS A PENSION
Mother of feight Children Would Get
on the Lilt.
BUT SHE HAS MONEY IN BANK
And Also Orrn Sereral Pieces of Real
Estate Other Caaea to Coma
Before Juvenile Coart
tn Thla City.
The fact that a woman has eight chil
dren doos not necessarily entitle her to a
pension under the new Mother pension
law, especially waen she owns a halt
block of property and has a "Bob" of
money. ln the bank.- This jim abruptly
added'.to tho store 'of &iowledse;ot an
enthusiastic mother of eight who stepped
Into the offices of the attaches of the ju
venile court and asked that she be. pen
sioned forthwith.
"I'ye got eight little children," she
said, "and I guess I ought to have a pon
slon If anybody, should."
Calmly the attaches began to gather a
little Information from her to sea whether
her cose was such as would make It
worth her while to file a request for help
In bringing up these chlldron.
"Have you, no -money?" ahe was asked.
"Yes, a little."
- "How much In the bankTV .
"Two thousand dollars."
Mogy Bornsten's brow folded Into wrin
kles as he raised his eyebrows.
"Have you any property?"
"Yes. a little. ' '"' f
Further questioning revealed the fact
that she owned her home and had several
other tracts of city property.
"And your husband has deserted your
was a further question.
"Oh, my land, no. He's tn business In
the city.1
This was the last straw, and the woman
was not encouraged to file a petition for
help. ,
This morning, however, the first
case under the new Mpther pension law
Is to be heard In the juvenile court. This
will not "be a case of' a mother owning
eight children and enough land to pasturo
them on with money In the bank besides,
and a husband to provide, but will be
the. case of a brave little woman trying to
raise her family of six small children re
spectably since her husband deserted her
two years ago.

a few days. A number of old residents
of Omaha, who have been voters here
for many years, ire being refused regis
tration by the commissioner because of
their Inability to produce naturalisation
papers. Commissioner Moorhead refuses
to accept oral testimony, but calls either
for the original or certified copies of the
papers.
One case In point is that of T. J. Fits

land, but his father was naturalised in
Buffalo, N. Y,, In 1805, and removed to
Omaha a few years later. For forty
four years T. X has lived In Omaha and
for nearly that length of time hts been
a voter. Ho Is a proporty owner, is in

widely known throughout tho country be
cause of his connection with the National
Arsoclatlon of Building and Loan Associa

witnesses to testify aa to his qualifica

him registration untess ho produce the

NERO'S DININQJOOM FOUND
Oorseoaa Chamber of Rome's Fid
dling; Sport Moved by Ma
chinery .
The celebrated Italian archaeologist,
Commendatoro Bonl. the excavaj,9r of
the Itoman Forum, has been visiting Ixin
don, and to a large audience of classical
students at King's college he gave a lec
ture on "The Houses of the Republican
Period Now Discovered Under tho Palace
of Domltan."
One of the most Interesting statements
made by $lgn'or Bonl was that lis had
discovered traces of the original dining
room of Nero, whtch could be revolved
by machinery. In his search (or tj.o ma
chine room he had discovered three ver
tical shafts, down one of which be went
13) feet without reaching the bottom.
Near one of the vertical shafts, however,
he found a tank and twenty feet below
this was a chancer twenty feet ivld) hy
sixty feet' long, with stones serrated like
cog wheels on a horizontal bed. This he
took to be the: engine room of Nero and
his predecessors. Under the dining room,
again, he found a bath, with a variety
of rooms for different treatments, the
walls being richly decorated with 'rlous
pictures.
The. excavations, which were under
taken last season and are still being car
ried on, are being conducted on a site on
the Palatine hill, which, from Its Im
portant and conspicuous position, must
have, been the site, ssld tho lecturer, of
the houses of the great patrician fami
lies. Several highly Important discoveries
had been made. A study of the palace of
Pomltlan had resulted, said Commenda
tore Bonl. in the discovery of part of a
circular drain of the t)me of Nero. A
staircase Was found leading to a series
of five chambers, separated by arched
doorways, In which salt-water fish were
preserved and segregated according to
their size and quality. He took this to be
a Nerolan construction. A cylindrical
wsll of the time of Nero, which cut right
through an underground house, was also
found. The vault of this house had a
number of frescoes on the walls, which
still retained the beautiful purple of the
murex, and were decorated with IlttU
brackets which might have supported
lamps.
One of the most remarkable discoveries
under the palace of Pomltlan waa the
