12 HIE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. AlWST 20, 1913. JANITOR MAYLOSE HIS JOB Hansen of Howard Kennedy School Now in Danger. OUTCOME OP A OAS DEBATE School Hoard "Will InTlsrte mml Hctrrmlne Later What Cor of Action to Take In the Case. " A janitor may lose his Job and certain rabid opponent of the Km franchise ordinance may be called to account for a disturbance at a meeting held In Howard Kennedy school last Monday night Mem ber C. T. Walker of the Board of Educa tion reported to the school board last night that such ft meeting had been held In violation of the suto kw forbidding discussion of sectional or political ques tion In school buildings. President E. . Holovtchlner, Mr. Walker, Superintend ent E. U. Graff, Superintendent of Dulld Irgs Duncan Flnlayson and Attorney Carl Herring were In conference behind closed doors for halt an hour and tlie matter was discussed. -Offense Not Crime. "While the offense Is not a crime," said Attorney Herring, 'It Is specifically pro vided In the law that the school buildings hall be opened for certain purposes and the settling of gas franchise questions Is not one of these purpose. About the only Ihlne the board can do Is to fire the Janftor." The Janitor Is Peter It. Hansen. It Is presumed he allowed the Omaha View Improvement club, which- held the meet irg. to gather In the school and discuss llie gas franchise ordinance, which Is being voted on today. ' We'll have to Investigate the matter," said President Hotovtchlner of the hoard of J&ueatlon. "The Janitor was without authority to open the school for such a, meeting. Upon his shoulders will prob ably rest the blame." Can't Sell Baratoo-a. Site, At the secret conference held by HoloTtchlner, Graff, Walker, Flnlayson and Herring the proposition of selling the present site of Saratoga school was dis cussed. "It looks like we can't soli the site and give a valid deed," said Holovtchlner, "because ths ground was donated to the school district in W61 when Nebraska was stilt a territory and under the grant reverts to the heirs of the former owners." The board had planned to erect a new school on a batter site. Attorney Herring will go Into the matter thor oughly and give the board a written opinion on the question. District Boundaries Choused.
