Teachers to Be Abandoned.
BOARD PROMISES THEM RELIEF
EtnbnrrnBMnent Which Will ttcnalt
to Kilncntorn br Hcnson at the
Chnune W1U Be Daly
Taken Core. Of.
Because Attorney Catf Herring of the
Board of Education , declared illegal the
nyetcrn'of drawing warrants for teach
ers' salaries before the services for which
the warrants were drawn were performed
and 'the board "abandoned the system,
principals and teachers Ijave protested to
Secretary W. T. Bdurke that present ar
rangements have embarrassed' " fh'om.
Bourke has - Issued a circular- promising
relief. Under the present payroll the
teachers do not recelvo all their warrants
before the tenth of the month and there
fore canot discount the.tr bills.
"There has been some complaint on the
core that the warrants are not received
before the tenth of the month," said Sec
retary Bourke, "and we will remedy this
lu preparing the next schedule. It Is
next to impossible now to .got the 600
warrants out earlier unless the schtdulo
U made out lh advance and a refund is
permitted. The attorney has said such a
refund Is Illegal and so we have aban
doned it."
Change Was Necessary
In the circular Issued Bourke said:
The Board of Education found it neces
sary to change the manner of making
the teachers' payroll and date of pay
days for the reason that as there is a
large amount of clerical work Involved In
assembling the data, making up payrolls,
writing and registering pay warrants, it
became the custom to have the payroll
made and warrants drawn to cover four
weeks' service when .only three weeks of
service had been reported, tuus making
It necessary to anticipate that the full
period of service wcvlr" be rendered.
As It? frequently happened that teachers
would be absent from duty the week of
anticipated Bervlce, refunds would have
to be made by those absent teachers or
corrections made on the next month's
payroll to balance. In view of the fact

that this was not considered to be com
patible with good business polloy, and
that the attorney of the board had ren
dered an opinion that the procedure was
illegal, the board deemed It unwise to
place Itself In a position where it might
do jusuy criuciset! or possibly enjoined
by some citizen from drawing warrants
for salaries before the service for which
the warrant was drawn had been fully
performed.
Three More Drey Lett.
Only three more pay days occur later
than under the old schedule, according
to the secretary, nnd one of these falls
before the tenth of the month. The
teachers are paid In nine and a halt pay
ments for the year's work. Freeldcnt E.
Itolovtchlner of the board advised with
Secretary Bourko, and while the samo
number of payments will be made next
year the schedule will be arranged, the
first payment being for two weeks. In
stead of a month, and thereafter the
payroll wltl be mado out before the tenth
and special meetings of the board will be
held to pass It.

Where the offense charged is forbidden
both by city ordinance and by state law
and tho police Judge elects to convict the
defendant of violation of tho statute, pre

the practice. But when A. J. Carey,
charged with keeping a disorderly house
at Eighteenth and St Mary's avenue, ap

it was found that a state mittimus had.

Even the poor man's meat leaped clear
out of sight In prices during the last few
days. There Is perhaps no cheaper meat
In America than what Is known as the
neck bones of pork. These are purchased
by the very poor and boiled fcr tne little
meat they contain, but mostly for the
flavor. While up- to a ftsw days ago they
were 2V4 cents a pound whotesalc, packers
are today asking 3H. Thus with a single
leap the price of the cheapest meat, the
poor man's fare, has salted 40 per cent
higher than It was nnd has made It 40
per cent harder for htm to furnish meat
for his family. The retailer will raise
the prlco accordingly or lose money In
handling this meat.
Plate boiling meat, another dish the
poor man has, up to the last few days,
been able to afford because It retailed for
I 8V4 cents a pound, has Jumped to 10 cents
und better retail. Why? Because In the
imi forty-eicht hours nractlcallv. the
wholesale price of this poorer grade of
meat has Jumped from 6H cents a pound
to SH cents, which will make It retail
for 10 cents or more.
All pork has taken a great Jump. While
two weoks ago pork loins were going at
wholesale for 16 cents, now 18H Is tho
price quoted by the branch houses of the
packers.

Police Judge Charles Footer Insist! that
between 100 and 150 Omaha saloons are
violating tho S o'clock closing law every
night of tho year. "I have mado thlx

can not file complaints against pro

of tho hearings can not very well appeaV

"Disorderly houses to mi Dorsonal

tney aro singled out for reasons not

failed to appear In court to testify to
their findings and I have dismissed them
because cvldenco has been withheld by
their falluro to appear, which might havo

The police admit that many saloons
"cheat," as do some hotels, but reply
that tho violations are of tho kind that

that when convlc(lons are hod the Judge
lets them off easy. That 1M saloons
