IR ( ( { / FREE TEXT BOOKS IN OMARA| Buperintendent Fowler fays No Law Re- quires Oty to Furaish The MUST MAINTAIN SCHOOLS NINE MONTHS Nebraska Commi Louls tion Seekn fon for St. Ralse Fands udgment Mrmed. Amrme: . (Fvom a Biaft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 9.—(8pecial.)—In an opin- fon given today State Superintendent Fow- ter declares that there ls no law which re- quires the school dlstrict of the city of Omaha' to furnish free text books to puplls in the public schools. This ruling was made in response to an Inquiry as to whether or not the Board of Education of that city could legally discontinue the practice of giving free text books in the High sghool Mr. Fowler says: “Replying to the inquiry, it is my opinion that the school district of the eity of Omaha I8 exempt from the provisions of subd.vi- slon 18, school laws of Nebraska, as revised and amended In 1901, relative to text books and supplies. Section 1 of sald subdiv sion reads as follows “‘District school boards and boards of trustees of high school distric's ‘and boards of education in cities of the first and sec- ond class are hereby empowered and it Is made their duty to purchase all text books necessary for the schools of such district.’ ““The school district eity of Omaha is or- ganized under subdivision 17, schools In metropolitan citles, and is, therefore, clearly and purposely exempt from the pro- visions of subdivision 18. Moreover, sub- Adivision 18 was enacted into law by the leg- islature of 1§91, when Omaha was and for many years had been furnishing free text books- to the pupils fu its public schools.” Replying to an inquiry as to the length of term required for the school apportioument of the state, Mr. Fowler says “It is my opinion that the school dis- trict of the city of Omaba must maintaln at least nine months of school to share In the state apportionment of school moneys. The law says that in thé absence of any | agreement between tho director and teacher to the contrary twenty days shall consi- tute a school month. It is not necessary that the twenty 'days be taught, but holl- days must not be declared by the board of education and the teacher's pay must go on for twenty days, In order that a legally constituted school month may be re- ported.” Funds for Nebraska Display.

Philbin's Judgment AMrmed. The supreme court has afirmed the, judg- ment given P. H. Philbin of Omaha for $300 damages against' the proprietors of the Paxton hotel for blocking the entrance to bis place of business. Mr. Philbin is a ticket broker and had rented a room’from the Kitchen Hotel company, the apartment communicating with.the hotel rotunda by means of a rear door. By dodging about a couple of plllars one could enter the ticket ofice from the hotel. Suddenly, al- legad Philbin, the method of ing was shut off by a partition erected by the hotel people. 2 When a bill of $500 for, rent was pre- sented to Philblu he refused to pay it and when sult was brought he appeared with a counter claim for $800. The partition, he declared, had injured his business fully one-third, besides making it necessary to hire a “barker” to “spiel’” outside on the stréets. He wanted $300 In excess of the rent bill * The company endeavored to show that there was no accurate way of telling the average business the ticket broker trans- acted, even if the damages were due him. But Philbin had an abundance of data on this point, which the court approved. The broker allowed all the damages he asked and the company appealed Now the decision of the supreme court 1s ou the sido of Philbiy Nehruska Se . L.

The hearing has taken the entire time of Judge Thompson since Monday morning, and tonight an evening session of the court was held In the Lindell hotel The decision given by the court some time ago was in favor of Joseph Miles and against Samuel Miles, who claims a large portion of the cstate under an alleged subsequent will.

RAILROAD FOR BIG HORN BASIN 0 Line from Cody to Coal Fields Near t in Meeteetse to Be W Spring. CODY, Wyo., Jan. 9.—(Speclal.)—It 1s re- ported from Garland, a station morth of Cody on the Cody-Toluca line, that grading outfitters have stored their machinery there with the understanding that the road will be extended on to the cgal fleld near Meeteetse, owned by Senator Clark of Mon- tana. The line has been surveyed and it 1s understood that work will be commenced on the grade early in the spring.+ The dis- tance from Cody to_ the coal flelds is about thirty-five miles. ! It is also reported that Colonel Cody and his assoclates have a grant of 200,000 acres of land in the Big Horn basin which they will lose in another year unless they get water on it. It will cost upward of $1,000,000 to water the tract, but when the canals are constructed the land will be worth $10 per acre. Without rallroads it s diffcult to get farmers to settle in the basin country, and Cody and his a soclates are working to have a number of branches of the Burlington, bullt, including the line to the goal flelds, to tap the large agricultural section. 1t is sald that the coming vear will wit- ness great activity in the Big Horn basin country.
