One Hundred Olerks

About 100 hotel clerks of the south and
east will arrlvo In three cars from Chi
men nr.il St. Louis today on their
av to tho annual cdnventlon of the
Grceters of America at Los Angeles,
After being tho guests of local hotel
clerks during the day some of the Omaha
"front office" men will join tho party,
which will proceed west by way of Den
ver In a Bpecial train.
A brcakfpst at tho Henahaw. luncheon
at the Rome, an auto tour of greater
Omaha and some amusement at the Ak-Sar-Bcn
den aro Included In tho day's
program. The party arrived about 7 a.
m. and leaves over the Union Pacific
late In the afternoon.
A big boost for Colonel William Ander
son, chief clerk at Hotel Rome, who Is
a prominent candidate for tho national
president of the Oreetcrs, will bo ef
fected by his local supporters while the

President of Hoard of Education,
Follovflnre Illclinrrinon'a llriliinn
tlon, Sny Peruana! Krlrnita
Favored by Dr. Font ex.
Rumors that President C. T. Walker of
the Board ot Education wan ready to re
sign, owing to differences with the com
mittee on teachers and Instructions, are
emphatically denied by him.
'In view ot certain things having hap-
cned and in view of certain proposals
which 1 know are going to be made, 1
believe It Is my duty to remain on the
board and fight such proposals," said
President Walker.
"Is that a declaration of war against
the head ot the teachers' committee?" ho
was asked.
"It may mean that," he replied.
President Walker did not discuss the
resignation of James Richardson further
than to say he would "stick by his guns"
and oppose tho "proposals that needed
his opposition."
He was rather bitter toward Dr. J. J.
Foster, head of the teachers' committee,
who recommended a man for the second
vice prlnclpalshlp of tho Centra! High
school when Walker favored a woman
in the position.
"A few years ago I was told tlmt Miss
Kate Mcltugh was tho only logical per
son for superintendent of" schools." said
President Walker, referring to Dr. Fos
ter's, position, "but now I am told from
Iho same Bource that a woman ought
not to hold any responsible executive po
sition In the public schools.
"Thcra Is no consistency In such a
course. I am now ready to fight othir
proposals o fthls committee proposals t
have reason to believe will be made not
in the Interest of the general public, a
such proposals should be made, but to
favor personal friends.
"It Is a misappropriation of power to
use a public office to olevnte a personal
friend to a position over other applicants,
that Is what happened last night.''

MRS. LANE NEVER STRONG
AFTER DEATH OF DAUGHTER
Omaha friends of the family of H.
Vance Lane, who are deeply grloved at
the death ot Mrs. Lano In New York City,
understand that Mrs. Lane's health was
never good after tho sudden death of
their daughter, Miss Lillian, In Denver
less than two yearB ago. Tho sorrow, tit
tho eldest daughter') loss born finally
,wlth crushing wblght upon tho mother.
The Lanes' resided for many years In
Omaha, where Mrs. T.nne will be burled
nnd where their children were born and
hove scores ot friends here. Mr. Lane
was general manager of the Nebraska
Telephone company hero for years until
promoted to, the presidency of; tho Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company wl.th
headquarters at Salt Lake City. From
there ho went to Denver and thence to
a larger position In New York City.
Safety First Plan
Records Show that
it Saves Hundreds
The efficiency ot the "safety first"
organization of the Northwestern Is
shown In a bulletin Just issued, which In
dicates that the loss of life among em
ployes of tho rallrd.ad has decreased .12
per cent, as compared with n similar
period four years ago. The statistics
have been tabulated to compare the re
sults of the system for a forty-slx-months"
period ending April 30. 1911, nnd
a period of similar length ending In-1910,
Besides the decrease of 32 per cent In
the number of deaths among employes,
there have been 8,170 fewer employes hurt,
659 fewer passengers Injured and 245 fewer
outsiders Injured or killed.
The Increasing efficiency of the safety
first organization of the Northwestern
has resulted In diminishing the deaths
and Injuries from 19 to 32 per cent since
1910. Further evidence ot the practica
bility and. efficiency ot the organization
bf the Northwestern is found by the
seventy-five railroads, with a total mile
age of 199,881, who have adopted the
Northwestern system, or. one similar to it.
