"~ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: f— UESDAY, MARCH 24, 1891 WOOLLEY'S WONDERFUL WORK. {he Poard of Education’s Building Super~ intendent Gets into Trouble. HE TELLS SADLY CONFUSING STORIES. Eills Approved by to Him are Shown be Very Exorbitant—Mat. ters for the Board Investigation. Frank W. Woolley, who draws a salary of $150 por month s superintendent of build- ings and property for the Omaha board of education is undoubtedly getting himselt into 8 vory embarassing position as a result of his neglect of duty and palpable inefficiency. Speaking of the investigation that has been ordered by the board in his case Mr. Euchd Martin said: ‘“We havo a right, I think, to expect that the superintendent of buildings will try at lm.u.!m:lu what the board orders him 1 do by resolutions passed at our regular meet- 1Dgs, and wo have a. Fight, T think, to expoct that'the superintendent will tell the truth in bis reports und in his oral statements to the Doard. “On February 22 the board ordered Mr. Wooll 10 put the storn windows on the Lakeschool. In his written report to the board pn March 2, Mr. Woolley stated that he had done as the board directed on Feb- ruary Members of the board were not aware of the fact that Mr. Woolley had not put up the storm windoyge at the Lake school, bo had said, until Monday March 16, when 1 telephoned to the prineipal of the Lake school and learned that the storm win- dows werestill ia the basement, whereé they ha en all winter, “You remember the excuse that Mr. Woolley st Monday night when con- fronted by these facts. He said _in the pres ence of the board and the reporters that he had gotten the storm windows all ready to ut in, but the principal told him that he ad botter not put them up as the weather was not very blustery and they were not need “I don’t really know whether what he ss about the weather last Monday night was any nearer the truth than his _ written report was on March 2. You had better look that point up. “On March 7 the board passed a resolution {nstructing Mr. Woolley to take down the yellow window shades that he had put or the Wwindows of the Farnam school and put up a different color, in accoraance with former regulutions adepted. The yellow blinds are still on the nam school windows, and Mr, Woolle, s he is waiting until Mr. Fal eoner ly to do the work “What progress is being made in the fnve tigation of the excessive bill submitted fc the two-room building on Davenport street? “Tam not on that commit You know as much about it s I do. The bill is filed there in the clerls's ofiice speaks for itself. Whien the reporter for Tue Bee entered the principal's ofice at the L school and asked her whether she had vold Mr. Woolloy in February not to put up the storm windows on the building, the lady refused to answer the question directly, saying: 4 think all such things should go to the ublic—if they must go to the pub. —through the board of education. I do not wish to talk to a Dewspaper reporter about business that be- longs to the board. If 1 talk to anybody about this matter it will be to the board when that body has requested me to talk, and not before then.” ““But I was referred to you by a member of that board,” said the reporter. “I simply wisii to know whether you did or did not tell Mr. Woolley in the latter part of February NOT o put up the storm windows on the Lake school.”? “Twill tallke to the board, but not toa re- porter,” said the lady firmly, and stepping to the telephone she called up Mr. Martin, The end of the telephonic couversation which then took place and which the reporter heard, was about as follows : U1s ihis Mr, Martin?” meto answer the reporter regarding and quullmlnnl A newspap: those storm windows ! *“But 1 don’t like the newspaper notoriety, Y don't think it is the right way todo. If I am obliged to talk about such things I would rather talk to the board." t+¥es, T saw that plece In the paper.” “Mr.'Woolley came right up here the next day; that was last Tuesday or Wednesday. He 'wanted to put the storm windows up then, but I told him uot to do it, for itis al- most spring now.” +:0, no. He is mistaken. Inever told him not to put the storm windows up untal after that piece was in the paper tho first of this week you know.” “I know that I told him nothing about the ‘windows, excepting that I wanted them put on, until 'he_called here just the other day.” As tholady turned away from the telo- phone, the reporter again asked: “As a mat- ter of fact then, did you or did you not tell Mr, Woolley in February that he need not put up the storm widows?" 1 did vot, she replied quite emphatically. 1t now remuins for Mr, Woolley to explain his statement made at the ocoard meeting last Monday might. ‘The committee appointed to investigate the ftemized bill for the two-room school building on Davenport street has not yet had a meet- ing, but the indications are that some glaring overcharges will be found, The total cost of the buildiug foots up about §1,600. Mr. Bab- cock referred to the apparent’ expensiveness ot tho building at the last meeting of the board, and - Morris Morrison explained that the reason this building seemed expensive was thie fact thut former buildings of the Kind, put up by coutract, were made of very voor material and were shabbily built Speaking of this matter, Mr. Martin said: “If some of these school buila- fuges have beed built of bogus material who is to blame forit! We hire Mr. Woolley to superintend the erection of our buildings and it strikes me that he and bis friends are ex- sing themselves when they admit _that he as permitted the contractors to defraud the city.” ‘Tho bill for the brick work on the small, two room building erected on Davenport street, is an interesting scrap of paper. It says: *'Dr. to John Hoye for building founda- tion to school house on Daveunport sireet: 2,500 brick at $11. L§187 50 Building two chim ed the brick—bricklayers Laborers . Band. Lime. Total,, Tio two chimneys, only cost§36 over snd above the brick, which were furnished by the city, were built by Mr. Hoye, who assigned his claim to Jobn Rush, and who drew the cash for which the bill calls. It now bogins to dawn upon the board that some of these ilyms, along with many others in counection with' the building, are exor- bitant, if not absolutely fraudulent, ana a careful investigation will be demanded. Hoye's Dbill for 836 for construct two chimneys was submitted to & con. tractor without any explanation us to who did the work or for whom it was done and his opinion was asked us Lo whethor it ‘was a reasonable charge. Ho dissected it as follows : “It was probably job worlk and would cost, more than the regular scale. The chimneys were about nine feet high, elghteen feet for the two, and should not have cost more than $1 afoot, §18 in all, and the contractor fur. nish all the material. ‘The charge of $18 for bricklayers is throe or four times as much as Jt should have been. The scaleis $4.50 a day for brickiayers, though # & day would not be ex- cessive for an odd job of that kind, Any kind of amason would build two such chimneys in abalf day. Thecharge of 15 represents the wages of four hrlckhu ers for a full day at $4.50 each, with §5.00 allowed for helpors, The chaige of § for sand is out of all reason, 1f wo had to paysuch rates for buiiding sand_there wonldn't beany brick or stone structures built in Omaha. The two chim- neysshould bave .been built for 80 at most and the contractors furcish the material With the brick furnished as iv this case, the charge for labor and saud aud lime should not have exceeded §12 at the outside.” Another rhlr&u is mado against Woolley by an offvial of the board, who exoused the short-comiugs of the superintendent of bu ings on tho grounds that he is kept too busy enjoying himself to give the ¢ attention 10 his work. sad the official, p bigh-five for the beer thas bother hlmwll one-story high, ng the bowrd, Fo has a habit ol the superintendenco of pairs _ to the janftors of ihe ‘varins . schools and the result is that the work is not done at all or very poorly done. "Speaking of ‘the £1,600 bill for the Davon- port street building,™ continued the official, “reminds mo that sevoral bufldings were put up last year that were exactly like tbat bullding at & cost of 8% each, But. then & little difference of 5% in the costof two arlicles of exactly equal value do=sa't cut any figure so long as the city pays the bills.” — - DeWitt s Little early Risers. cure sick head leaving only pill to be and regulate the bowels The Alleged Murderer of Poor Held for Investigation, After reading the interview with Page, the Poor murderer suspect now in the Chicago jail, County Attorney Mahomey yesterday said: “Iplace but little confilence in the man's statement rogarding Silk's confession The parties are all thieves and crooks and for this reason you cant't believe them. “It looks, of course,as though Page knew something about the murder, but he mignt have obtained his Information from the papers printed at the time.

The move was made out of defer- ence to the kicks of property owners, Mr. Birkhauser states that asphalt vav- ing put down at this time of the vear is absolutely worthles: Said ne, “It is worse than in the fall Some of the paving put down last fall will have. to come up, as it is so soft that I ¢ stick my beel throughit. The old paving is full of frost aud it chilis the new material used in repairing before 1t can be com- pressed. The result is that it is so imper- fectly compressed that it never hardens. To do the work now simply means that it would have to bo done over again and there is no use in barricading the street ever: while.

He Dodged Detectives by Tarning De- tective and Continued His Pecu- liar and Irregular Deals —Other Local News. There are many things that indicate that T. 8, Clarke, the man who was arrested at Ogden last Saturday, is badly wanted in Omaha. 8 In January, 1888, one George C. Wheeler and Edward C. Cundy came 1o tho city, and a few wecks later bought outJ. L. Watson, whoat that time was running the storage company store, which o second, third and fourth floors of the Benuett building on Capital avenue. They paid Watson a certain amount of cashand the balance in notes, which they represented to him were secured on eastern property. A young man, C ilsbee, who was clerking in Ferguson's furniture store, was employed as chief clerk by Wheeler & Cundy, and that he might have an wterest in the coricern e lot the two men have 2,00 ia cash: Things went well fora time and the new firm made me but on Apr both proprietors suddeuly dis Watson, who had left all of his notes and accounts in tho safe, commenced an inyesti gation and discovered that i bills he held against parties in the cf been collected.

A warrant was issued on April % for the arrest of the men, out they had gone and for a_time no trace of them could be obtained, The warcant was placed in the bands of Deputy Louis Grebe and he traced them to the farm of Steve Eastabrooke, ne: There he learned that P Cundy had stopped seve 3 ke, who was a brotheran-law of Cundy but getting wind of the deputy being on their trail had taken the train at Kagle and again skipped.

This_was reported to the sheriff and he at once laid the plans for his arrest, to be foiled by the arrest that was made las y. From information that Sheriff Boyd now has in his hands it scems that the arrest was made supposing that Clurke or W heeler was one of the Picrce piano men. This the sheriff thinks is a mistake, though heis sure that he is the man who robbed Watson. Inaddition to this, Clarke is wanted on similar charges in both Chicago and Minneapolis. ‘Uhe_ sheriff has tele- graphed the Ogden authorities and as soon as he receives a reply will secure the requisi- tion and start after his man with tho inten- tion of bringing him here to meet the charges that are filed against him DWYER IN DEEPER.
