Asked why he had not taken a similar stand when Pearse's term was extended, he jpuswered that the law especially gave the board the right to elect the superintendept of instruction to a three-year term.

WHEN PRESIDENT MAY COME to Present Plans. The board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben bave received a reply to the invitation sent to President Roosevelt to be the guest of Ak-Sar-Ben October 2, at which time it Is proposed to have as a feature of the cele- bration a speclal electrical parade similar to that given on the occasion of the visit of President McKinley. Secretary Cortal- you acknowledged the receipt of the invi- tation and stated that the president would be glad to accept the invitation, but the time of the visit would be dependent on ar- rangements that might be made by local committees hero and at other points. As far mounced the president’s itin- erary will place him in Detroit September 23 to attend the Spanish war veterans' conven- tion. October § he will return to Washing- ton and view the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic encampment, after which he will take a trip through the southwest, vis- iting San Antonfo, Tex., October 23, The board has assurances that Semator M:llard and Semator Dietrigh will endeavor to persuade the president to be here on the 24 of October. If the visit cannot be ar- ranged for that date the time of the, elec- trical parade, which will be a special feature of the celebration, will be changed. At the den Jast night a hilarious time was had in making a number of Uncle Sam's men tread the wine press to the enjoyment of a Jarge crowd and to the discomfort of the army. Next Governor Mickey was there with the glad hand to see the fun, and even up for what had been done to him a week ago. Those who became loyal subjects were: General Bates, Colonel Pullman, Captain Wright, Captain Royden, Lieutenant Mc- Clintock, Lieufenant Wills of the head- quarters, and these from Fort Crook: Cap- tains Newall, Davidson, Wassell, Bridges, Grove; Lieutenants Stone, Hugate, Gregs, Neiley, Haycraft, Curtls, Haney, Bell, Goodale, Parrott (who refused to repeat and nearly got killed), Dr. Straub. John Fran- cis, general passenger agent of the Burling- ton, was aleo one of the elect. The initiations passed off very peacefully untll Lieutenant McClintock attempted to make a speech on the water cure, He was promptly drowned out. Lieutenant Hay- craft sprained a thumb playing ping pong because he was mot used to such violent exercise. After that the meeting was noted for its strenuosity. During the evening it was announced that the Elks of Deadwood would bave a cel bration the last of the month and that they had sent a special invitation to Ak-Sar-Ben to attend. If a delegation goes the Elks will reciprocate by sending an, excursion here. MAY FORFEIT EARNEST MONEY Several Counell Thinking of Beveral members of the city council are considering the advisability of forfeiting the $1,000 paild a year ago to “bind the bargain” in the purchase of a lot for a fire engine house at Eleventh and Howard streets, as several cheaper lots in the same neighborhood have been offered within the last few months. The price asked for the Eleventh and Howard streets 'lot is $14,000. The matter came up at the meet- ing of the city councll in general com- mittee Monday afternoon. The following letter from W. B. Melk agent for the echanics’ Savings bank of Providence, I, was read: feronce to the action of your hon- “fts last ‘meéting, I think to lmmtdlnuly advise 'you that the Mechanics' Saving blnk 'fll stand on its contract with tl and while it \- lmm n tho ok What othos tat may buy, It certainly 'lll -urorct tl ' contrlcl relating to pur- chase of lot 8 block 165. The consensus of opinion med to be that there was no written contract between Mr. Meikle and the city for the purchase of the lot. Since Mayor Moores nego- tiated the purchase, it was decided. to lay the matter over until his return from the west. J. A. Tuveson, driver of an oll wagon, was voted §15.20 for oll spilled and wagon broken as the result of driving into a hole at Twenty- enth and Mason streets. J. W. Kinkead asked permission to put up box advertisements at street Intersec- tion: h box to bear ou one side the names of the streets. He was told to submit his scheme to the city engineer. Councllman Zimman introduced an or- dinance to increase the salary of Police Judge Berka from §1,200 a year to $2,500 a year, but was informed that, under the city charter, the salary of an officer could not be increased during the life of his term. The eral impression seemed to be that this feature should be amended by the next legislature. NEW GOLD FIELD IN IDAHO Rich Ledge Struck Omaha Man in Basin. Captain W. C.

RESIGNS JUDGESHIP HE HAD ACCEPTED Health Such that Phys Him Not Undertake Lite al Advise to the a Tro) Climate. Judge Herbert J. Davis, who was re- cently appointed a judge of the court of the first instance in the Philippines, has resigned his position and will remain in the United States. The resignation was telegraphed to the War department Sun- day night. Judge Davis' action was the result of Il health, his physiclans having advised him that such a move would be & detriment to him. For some time Judge Davis has been troubled with a growth upon his tongue, though until about two weeks ago he thought nothing of it and pald very little attention to it. About a week ago he came to Omaha from-Chicago and the growth began to trouble him and physiclans ad- vised an operation. This was performed last Saturday at the Clarkson hospital, D: Lavender having dlagnosed the growth cancer. The wound occasioned by the operation had healed nicely and at present he feels mo ill effect, though fearing a return of the trouble physiclans dissuaded Judge Davis from leaving the country. Was Ready to Sail, Judge Davis was to have salled from San Francisco on the transport Sherman July 16, and had made all his arrangements. ibrary and baggage ready in San Francisco and the officials have been moti- fied to hold them. At present Judge Davis is the guest of M. L. Learned, 138 North Thirty-first avenue. To & reporter for The Bee last night he expressed his great disappointment at not being able to go to the Philinpines. “It fs a great disappointment to me,” he sald, “that I had to resign. The work would have been inspiring and a work that & man could have put his whole soul fa. It was the establishing of United States courts and no work is nobler or greater. It {s one of the greatest works that con- fronts the people today. For three years there has practically been no courts In thé Philippines, and as for criminal Jaw it is something that will be entirely new to that country. Was Anxious to Go. “Since recelving my appolntment it has been the one desire of my life to begin the work and I cannot say how disap- pointed I am. The establishing of law and courts in the islands will be a difficult task, but the country has a great man at the head of it, in the person of Governor Taft. I know of no better man for the position in the entire country. He is big hearted, generous, brainy and a wonderful work will be aecomplished there in a short time. I am glad there is such a man for the olace. udge Davis has not decided what he will do In the future. “For the present,” he sald, “I shall do nothing, absolutely nothing, for the first time in twenty-five years. My physicians have advised me to rest and I shall rest, and as for the future I have no plans. Judge Davis was for- merly judge of the district court of this county, but several years ago removed to Chicago, where he has been engaged in the practice of law. COar Shops Reopen., The Cudahy car shops, which were closed down a couple of weeks ago when the em- ployes demanded an Increase in wages from 17% to 22% to 20 and 25 cents an hour, were pened this morning, when twenty- five men returned to work at the former wages. Mr. Cudahy says that he will have from forty to fifty men at work in the shops by the end of the week.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Final Figures on Assessed Valuation of Oity Reported to Oduncil ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE MAKES REQUEST Matter in Which it is Interested ia Referred to Mayor Koutsky, Who Takes Whole Thing Under Advisement. At the council meeting last night City Commissioner Fitzgerald turned In a statement showing that the revised figures of the recent assessment showed a valua- tion of $16,091,205.86. - The communication was placed on file without comment. There was a remonstrance presented against the council passing the proposed water company ordinance. A request was made that the question of an extemsion of the franchise ordinance be submitted to the voters of South Omaha. By direction of Mayor Koutsky, who occupled the chalr, the remonstrance was placed on file. Several members of the' Anti-Saloon league were present and anticipated a re- port from the license committee. In order not to disappoint the leaguers, Broderick, as chairman of the\license committee, sub- mitted a report, referring the entire mat- ter to the mayor. Then one of the mem- bers of the league arose and asked what the mayor was going to do about the pe- titon filed. In reply Mayor Koutsky eaid that he would take the matter under ad- visement. A new curfew ordinance was introduced and referred to the judiclary committee. In epeaking for the ordinance Colonel Alexander Hogeland told the mayor and members of the councll what good had been done by the passage of similar or- dinances In other cities, and he urged most earnestly that the ordinance sug- gested by himself be passed to take the place of the present curfew ordinance. In order to allow the city attorney to draft the appropriation and levy ordinances the council adjourned until tonight, when it is expected that these documents will be presented and read for the first time. Revised Figures Submitted. A session of the finance committee of the city council was held yesterday afternoon, when Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald sub- mitted the corrected figures of the 1902 city assessment. The Board of Review made a number of changes and in going over the books Mr. Fitzgerald found a num- ber of clerical errors, which were cor- rected. The valuation, as now returned by the tax commissioner, is $16,091,205. This is some reduction from the figures retyrned at the time the Board of Review cloded its session, but &s a number of errors were found, it was necessary to change the total The propriation or- dinance will be made out as follows: 3eneral fund..$ 30 | Paving 13,00 |[Park I 1800 |interest 13,000{Judgment 7,000 18,000 4,000 $149,300 With the valuation as glven the levy this year will probably be 9% mills. Last year the valuation was $2,500,000 and the levy was 46% mills. Board Defers Action. While the Board of Bducation at fts meeting last night opened bids for the heating apparatus at Hawthorne school and a new tubular boller at the Lincoln school, action was deferred. Quite a number of bids were submitted by Laverty who wanted. to delay the letting of contracts for a week and in deference to his wishes the board acquiesced. The schools will gpen for the first seme- ster on Monday, Séptember 8. A petition was presented requesting the board to erect a two-room school bulld- ing, east of Sixteenth street, between H and Q streets. The petition was placed on fille without any discussion. Mrs. M. Hettrich was chosen janitress of the West L street school building. Quits a number of applications for po- sitlons as teachers and janitors were re- ceived and referred to the regular com- mittes Another meeting of the board will be held next Monday night, Wants Walk Relaid. Louls Filifio, who owns the property at the northeast corner of Twenty-third and H streets, has through his agents sent & communication to the city council de- manding that the street foreman or the street commissloner or whatever his title may be shall at once relay the brick walk in front of his property. It will be re- membered ' that a fortnight ago mention was made of the fact that August Miller who is at present in charge of the street gang, caused the walk in front of this property to be torn up because he said it was below grade. The city engineer was called to decide the question and he asserted that the walk as laid was exactly on grade, but that the street was a little above grade. the city to relay this walk at its own expense, as he claimed that he fulfilled all of the conditions required when he laid s permanent walk. Annoy Garbage Haulers. Owing to the delay in making arrange- ments with Herman Kountz for an open road to the river those bere Who are en- gaged in hauling dead animals and gar- bage are compelled to go to Omaha and then drive through a portion of the road- way in Riverview park in order to reach the point on the river where the city gar- bage is dumped. This long drive adds ad- ditlonal expense to each trip and prevents to a great extent the rapld disposal of garbage. On account of the altercation now going on between the owner of the land abutting on the river and the city officlals the erection of & crematory has been suggested. Such an affalr would cost money, but for years past there has always been a fuss about a road to the river and a great deal of money has been spent in trying to make a suitable road. It wi asserted ‘by a member of the council yes- terday that if a suitable plece of ground could be secured,” which was easlly acces- sible, it would pay the ecity to erect a crematory, and thus do away with all of the bother about dumping réfuse into the river. It is understood that an eastern company stands ready to take up the proposition, providing the city officials do not care to do so. In case an independent company was formed it would be necessary for the city to grant a tem-year franchis for the handling of garbage. © hy Reopens Shopa. Yesterday E. A. Cudaby, vice) president of the Cudahy Packing company, gave di- rections that the carshops at his plant be reopened. About twenty-five men went to work at once at the old scale of wages. There was Do strike at these works, but about two weeks ago Mr. Cudahy decided to close down the shops. This was brought about by a demand from the men for au increase In wages. In reply Mr. Cudahy cldsed the works. An agreement of some sort was reached yesterday between Mr. Cudahy and the carmen and the result was that the shops were opened. In speak- ing of the matter last evening Mr. Cudahy sald that he expected that by the end of the week the entire force of about fifty men would be at work.
