FIZZLED BOMB
HAS CITY HALL
ALL IN A BLAZE
Resisting nil efforts at dictation the
South Omaha Board of Education last
night unanimously elected teachers to
serve for the coming year on 'he as
signed, elected and some to the werma
ncnt lists. The same unanimity pre
vaded In the action on school enumera
tors. In only one vote on one teacher
was there any discrepancy. The board
announced unofficially that the election
of principals would take place next Monday.
"I novcr knew finer men than the men
who constitute the republican majority
on this board," commented W. J. Fits
gerald. democratic member. "They are
absolutely fair."
President E. R. Leigh. Vice President
F. S. Richardson and Member Godfrey
Horacek, republicans constitute tho ma
jority. They are working steadily to
wards an end that will take the school
system out of politics and the Interfer
ence of politics. President Leigh and
Member Horacek were re-elected a fort
night ago by a large majority. Vice
President Richardson was elected by a
large majority one year ago. Keeping
the school free from partlfan pontics
scorns to be the policy of the board. The
following Is the list of teachers elected
last night:

his roll, or something like that",
I,endlnir Htm On.
Wolfe says he made this statement
after he found out who the man was
and that he was merely "leading him
on."
Richard Grace and P. W. Fltt protested
at first that they had no knowledge of
Hansen further than what Wolfe and the
mayor had published, but Fltt admitted
later he "would always remember him"
for the time when he wanted to "buy the
drinks."
"Neither myself nor Grace have any
thing to say," Fltt explained. "Have we,
Grace? We don't know the fellow, do
we? Never met him but once myself,
and that was here, in the building In
spector's office."
More Dnck of It.
Grace said: "I don't know the rascal.
I don't know anything about this and
would not make any statement. But let
me' tell you that thero Is more back of
this than has been told and It will prob
ably come out."
There he stopped and refused to speak
further, perslttlng he knew nothing of
the affair.
After the council meeting the mayor
related the "ridiculous" side of the plot
to his colleagues, who were crowding
around to see the picture of the "great
detective."
The mayor told how Hansen, flourish
ing his roll In front of city commis
sioners, threw silver on several bars and
bought drinks and cigars for the crowd.
When tho commmlssloners found out who
Hansen was they would introduce their
friends to him, with a wink, saying on
the side "have a drink with him."
Mayor TnUen a Picture.
After the mayor had secured enough
evidence to make out a case against
Hansen and was about ready to swear
out a warrant for his arrest, he decided
to get a picture of the great "Diamond
Dick," so he went Into a saloon, had a
round of drinks with him, brought him
out of the saloon and had him pose for a
picture.
This picture is one of the mayor's exhibits.

John Elliott, ex-councllman, ex-superin
tendent of the park board and well-known
democrat believes that Councilman Pat
Lavelle should cither resign from the
council or surrender his position In the
employment of the state aa assistant
state veterinarian. In a communication
on the matter last night, Elliott formally
lodged his demand with the council. El
liott holds that the charter expressly for
bids an elective officer to hold any other
position that might be maintained by
public moneys.
Lavelle was elected councilman from the
Fifth ward last year and Is holding a
position within the gift of Governor
Morehead. Lavello succeeded Jerry How
ard as assistant state veterinarian at the
Union stock yards some months ago.
Lavelle defended his position by stating
that he held his Job from the state vet
erinarian who, he said, appointed his
assistants and Paid them himself. He
took the position that the charter did not
apply In his case.

'Several Injured
When Engine. Hits
and Upsets Auto
An automobile with six passengers In
'It was run into at an early hour this
morning at the railroad crossing at Tenth
and Locust streets, by a switch engine.
Stell Marquette suffered three broken
ribs and a fractured leg and was taken
to a local hospital along with ,A1 Smith,
manager of the Central Taxi company,
who suffered serious injuries.
In the same car were two other uniden
tified men, one said to be employed In a
local bank and the other a railroad offi
cial, and two young women. 'These four
made their get-a-way without1 having
their names ascertained.
The party was returning from a Locust
street roadhouse along with a number of
other machine loads and 'became stalled

of the engine of the auto ahead dying

Stenographers and .
Typists Examined
Eighteen stenographers and typists
hammered the typewriters In the civil
service examination at the federal build
ing through the whole noon hour, paus
ing only long enough to gaze wistfully
out of the window at a lunch sign.
For, be It known, the government limits
the examinations of stenographers and
typists to six hours, and In the framing
of the order no provision was made for
lunches. The class of eighteen candidates
for government positions started their
grind at 9 o'clock, and but few of them
turned In their papers before the end of
the six-hour period In the afternoon
There were blondes and brunettes, men
and women, with and without eyeglasses.
The women, If possible, were more In
dustrious than the men, but all of them
devoted themselves to their task with re.
markable zeal, and few minutes of the
six hours were wasted in trips to the
alluring water cooler In the corner of the
examination room.
