ENT OF TEACHERS GIVEN OUT ASSIGH | Retnatatement of Mra. Graves as Prin- cipal at Cut-0f ¥ the lloard Much Out of Temper. As a result of the meeting of the Board of Education last night to assign teachers for the ensuing year and to fix thelr sal- cries it 1s very probable that there will be a vacancy in the board. Member Swaine | feels aggrieved at the action of the board in granting the petition of the residents of Cut-Off snd reinstating Mrs. Lou M. Graves as principal of the school there, ufter she had failed of re-election. When | the motion offered by Member Stewart to reinstate her carried Member Swaine put on his coat and hat and left the board | room, saylng that settled it and that he had had all he wanted. It is understood ever since the contro- versy over the High school site arose Member Swaine has been dissatisfied and anxious to resign and his action last night 1s taken to mean that he leaves the board. The replacing of Mrs. Graves in the list of teachers made several changes meces. sary in the assignment as prepared by the committee on teachers, The resignation of Miss Minnle Evers was accepted and Ida M, Frank, Anoa McKinley, Vera Linkey and Mrs. Elsie Thornton were elected to fill vacancies. The committee on teachers presented the names of Cota Treynor and | Mrs. Juiia Hughes as assistant kindergar- ten teachers and this at once opened up again the fight by Members Cooper and cwart on the kindergarten system. After considerable discussion the names of these two teachers were withdrawn by the com- mittee Member Cooper, assisted by Member Stewart, attempted to abolish the office of supervisor of kindergartens, but the mo- tion failed to carry by one vote. Teachers and Salarl After several changes had been made in the report as presented by Chairman Hess of the committee on teachers the assignment to buildings and grades was made and salaries fixed as follows: HIGH S8CHOOL, F.

STRUC LE FOR THE SMITH ERMIN Candidates for the District Bench Are Making a Lively Hustle, A large number of the delegates to the republican judicial convention of the Fif- teenth district to be held this morning ar- rived in the city yesterday afternoon and evening, the majority making their head- quarters at the Grand hotel, where consid- erablo lobbying was done in the interests of the four candidates to succeed Judge Wal- ter 1. Smith, The friends of Scott Lewls of Mills county, J. B. Rockatellow of Cass county and 0. D Wheeler of Pottawattamle county all ap- | peared to be confident of their respective eandidates securing the nomination. The feeling last night was that it would take several ballots to settle the nomination and that it might drop to either of three candl- dates, neither of whom, it was sald, would have sufficient votes on the first ballot to land the plum. The general opinion ex- pressed last night in the Grand hotel lobby {s that Scott Lewis of Mills county seems to have developed the greatest strength in the last few days and are of the opinion that he will be the nominee of the conven. tion today. Lewls' friends in addition to Mills county claim a big portion of the Fremont county delegation and part, If not all, of the Harri- son county delegates. Rockafellow will | have bis home county, Cass, which will dfe | in the ditch with him, it is sald, and his friends claim the Audubon county delega- tion. Montgomery county has a candidate in the person of R. W. Beason, but last night it was concluded he was practically out of the race. 0. D. Wheeler will have the twenty-seven votes of Pottawattamie county to depend on and he claims Page county. Shelby county’s vote, it is ex- pected, will be split. This was about the situation late last night as well as it could be sized up with each of the three prom- inent candidates claiming the nomination, Judge Macy, who will be renominated by acclamation, arrived last evening, as did Federal Judge Smith McPherson. All four caudidates were on the ground and epent the evening visiting with the several dele- Eates. Among the prominent arrivals yesterday were: State Senator J. M. Junkin of Red Oak, W. A. Follett and G. E. Pennell of At- lantle, W. C. Bryant ot Griswold, R. C. White, postmaster at Glenwood; A. E. Cook, county attorney of Mills county; W. L. Tubbs of Emerson, former sheriff of Mills county; D. L. Heinsheimer and E. B. Wood- ruft of Glenwood, W. W. Merritt of Red Oak, D. C. Mott of Audubon, V. T. R. Wallace ot Atlantic, W. E. Cooper of Harlan and C. E. Dean of Glenwood. The convention will assemble at 11 o'clock this morning in the kupreme court room at the county court house MATTERS IN DISTRICT COURT, cs Motor Com- Motion for New Trial. Judge Smith of the district court handed down his decision overruling the motion for a new trial of the personal injury dam- age suit of Mrs. Emma Holman against the Omaba & Council Bluffs Bridge and Raflway company. The case will now be taken to the supreme court. Mrs. Holman at the March term of court secured a verdict against the motor com- pauy for $12,000. This was the second trial of the sult, at the first trial the jury giving her a verdict for $8,000 The principal legal question involved in the suit is whether the statute of lim- itations can be waived. The courts have decided both ways. In this case Mrs. Hol- man did not commence her action to re- cover damages until after the explration of the period of limitations and the motor company sttempted to threw the suit out of court for this reason. Mrs. Holman asserted that she had been kept from bring- ing suit by promises on the part of Gen- eral Manager Dimmock of the motor com- pany to settle. This he falled to do and then she brought suit. In the suit of C. G. Sorensen against U. H. White, Judge Smith sustained tho motion for a new trial. A. A. Clark secured a temporary restrain- ing order in the district court enjolning Carl Herr from removing his stock of tail- oring goods from the premises at 6211 West Broadway or from disposing of it ex- cept In the ordinary course of business. Herr holds a lease for two years of the premises, which Clark alleges that he is about to vacate. Street Commissioner Poatpoued. The settlement of the street commission- ership muddle seems as far off as ever and the hearing of the charges preferred against John M. Harden by Alderman Huber, chair- man of the streets and alleys committee, has been indefinitely postponed. It had been arranged to hold the investigation last night, but several of the alderman found it would be impossible for them to be present and the city council meeting was uccordingly called off. The next regular meeting of the coun- il will be Monday might, September 3, but, as this will bo Labor day, council will ad- | journ until the following night. Whether the hearing of the charges will be held that night will depend on the amount of regular business to come before the council. Attorney Hazelton, representing Harden, has filed a motion to have all the charges except one stricken from the complaint, on the grounds that they were contained in the former complaint filed by Alderman Huber and have been determined in favor of Harden by the councll and that, there fore, the same have been fully adjudicated and cannot now be raised. The one charge which Harden is willing to let stand in the complaint is that he bas refused to obey the orders of the council in not applying to the streets and alleys committee for instruc- dlons.
