& ¥ THE O'\lAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1902 BOOST TEACHERS' SALARIES Board Puts Them Back Practically Where They Were Last January, SOME FORGOTTEN, OTHER§ GO HIGHER s Elected to the Position. By process of much parliamentary man- Ivering at cross-purposes and discussion along lines previously covered, the Board of Education last evening arrived at the adoption of a resolution which in effect Testores the ries of the principals of mearly all of the schools and the grade | teachers to their status before the sweep- ing reduction of last January, slightly in- creases those of the principals of the lar- gest schools by making the maximum sal- Ary $160 instead of $140 per month and leaves the salaries of the superintendent, the teachers of the high schools and the special teachers as they were fixed by the latest revision of the rules The question of salaries came up ob the ‘report of the committee on salaries, rec- ommending the adoption of Mr. Woods' Pesolution to restore all salaries to the amounts at which they ‘were fixed before the January cut. J. J. Bmith offered a substitute to this report providing for the amendment of rule 20 in such a manner as to fix the salary of the clerks In the superintendent’s and sec- Tetary's offices at 380 per month and the clerk in the office of the principal of the high school at $70 per month, and the idment of rule 137 in such a manner to fix the salaries of the principals of ome and two-room bulldings at $80 per month, with an increase of $5 per month up to the eleven and twelve-room build- ings, which are both fixed at $125 per month, and from that point on the increase of $5 for each additional room continues to the seventeen-room buildings, where the maximum salary of $150 l¢ reached. The provision for the salaries of grade and kin- dergarten teachers was taken directly from the rules In force before the January eut, and in the substitute resolution no men- tion was made of the high school teachers or principal of that school or the superin- tendent or the special teachers. e mo- tlon to suspend the rules for the purpose (ot considering the substitute caused some debate as to the justice of Increasing a portion of the salaries and omitting others, but finally prevailed by a vote of 10 to 3, President Barnard and Mr. Levy being ab- sent. The substitute resolution was then adopted by the same vote. Move to Raise Others. W. F. Johnson then introduced a resolu- tion providing that those teachers whose ®alaries had reached $110 and those who would under the rules be entitled to a ralse to be pald the same as previous years and that the salaries of ten of the teachers of the High school be Increased, the teachers and the amount of the increaso to be determined according to the value of the services rendered and this to include the salary of the principal of the school. This resolution was referred to the com- mittee on salaries. The report of the speclal committee on the purchase of five additional lots called forth long and earnest debate. The com- mittee recommended that !nasmuch as the agent for the property had refused to ac- cept the board's offer of $1,760 and had de- clared that the property could not be pur- chased for léss than $2,000, the board do nothing further in the matter. After much talk as to the necessity of an 1y settle. ment of this matter it was referred to the committee on grounds and property to re- port at an adjourned meeting to be held Saturday for that and other purposes. Propose a New Text Book. A report ‘from the committee on text ‘books recommending that “Stepping Stones to Literature” be adopted as a preparatory portion of the course in reading, was signed by Messrs. J. J. Smith. Theodore H. John- son and Cermak and Mr. Mclntosh pre- sented a minority report presenting a con- trary recommendation on the ground that the change In readers had not been asked for by the superintendent and was not nec- essary. The matter was referred back to the committee for further investigation. A communication was received from A. M. Randolph, declining the position ten- dered him as teacher in the blology depart- ment of the high school and stating as his Teason that he had already accepted a po- sition in South Dakota. This was referred to the committee on high school. P. A. Claassen had also written to the board asking to be released for his accept- ance of the position of teacher of German in the high school on the ground that he had since received a more favorable of- He was released. Captain Tompsett R The secretary reported the resignation of Captain Tompsett as commandant of cadets and reported that Captain McArthur, with ‘whom he had communicated by order of the ‘board, had made different arrangements.

Acceptances from Jasper Robertson, ap- pointed to take charge of the commercial department at the high school and A. § Pearse, appointed to take charge of the blology department, were filed. Leave of absence for the first half year was granted to Martha Parker, Elizabeth S. Hiatt, Myra La Rue and leave of ab- sence for two months to Mrs. Helen Drake. A motion by Mr. Melntosh providing that in future when any teacher should ask for leave of absence for more than sixty days her position should be declared v cant, was laid on the table for two weeks. A number of applications for positions in the schools were read and placed on file. New Commandant of eta. On recommendation of the committee on epecial Instruction Baseo Homan was ap- pointed as commandant of cadets at the high school, at a salary of $50 per month. A resolution by Mr. Homan instructing the committees on high school and buildings and property to make further provision for the teaching of manual training at the high school, was referred to those com- mittees to report at the speclal meeting of Saturday evening. The resolution directs the committees to provide accommodations for 240 puplls, whereas there is now only room for 120, and requires that there shall be a teacher of mechanical drawing pro- vided. A resolution by Mr. Cermak directing the superintendent to require ch pupil admitted upon the opening of school to show a certificate of vaccination, was re- ferred to the judiclal committee and the attorney. An adjournment was taken to Saturday evening. A Rich Man Starving. One of the richest men in the world is starving to death.

The chairman of the meeting announced that twenty persons are needed to complete the float and cavairy corps for the eieciri- cal pageant and that because of the short time it would be necessary to send pames of volunteers early to Fred Metz, manager of that parade. He stated that the Elks had donated their club rooms as head- quarters for the Deadwood vii the carnival, and that the Bagl put thelr rooms at the disposal of the Board of Governors for the same occasion. Addresses were made by the govermor, and humorous recitations were glven by Qarl Ritter and Frank Dunlop. In ' the games Frank Ransom was pitted sgainst F. N. Prout and the game was declared a draw. G. E. Shukert drew a place in the finals, but after the cards were dealt he threw up his hand, and the game was de- clared forfeited to Grant Willlams.

RIVELA CONTINUES SUCCESS Musie of Royal Iallan Band Sun Charms the People of Omaha. Probably owing to other Lapor day at- tractions the attendance at the comcert last night was not quite up to the average of the last few days. The principal numbers on the program were the great “Rienzl,” Historle d'un Pler- rranged by Signor Rivela, and the fourth act of Verdl's “Rigolette.” The oboe music incidental to the latter number was very well received, as was also the trumpet solo by Sig. de Mitus, By an aceldent the programs were not printed In time for the concert and nevspapers had to be used. A speclal event this week will be Shriners' night, when a large attendance is looked for. Mr. Joseph Barton will sing during the week.

It Is unexcelled lu America and abroad; PUBLIC MAY TAKE A HAND Oitisens’ Mosting I.id to Be Hlated in Interest of Bettling Btrike UNION PACIFIC AND MEN STAND FIRM Nelther Admits Hardship from Strike and Both Claim Power to En- dure Struggle for Longer Time, Another report is current that public in- fluence will be exerted in the Interest of a settlement of the Unlon Pacific strike. Some two weeks ago a report of this kind was circulated and the Real Estate exchange went to the extent of naming a committee which, it was said, would take steps looking to an arbitration of the differences be- tween the rallroad company and its men, but nothing came of this and apparently the matter was dropped. It was sug- gested in some quarters that this move on the part of the Real Estate exchange was more as a “feeler” than anything else, launched for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility of settling the strike by such a process. Officials of the company and strike leaders were not Interviewed by any of this committee. The report which is now current Is to the effect that a citizens’ moeting is to be called this week for the purpose of publicly discussing the strike, its effects and ways and means of its termination. The con- tinued idleness of several hundred men of this class producing an effect which extends through various channels and those Inter- ests indirectly drawn into the affair are sald to be animating the movement for a settlement. There is reason to belleve that a settle- ment of this strike will not be attained without a painstaking effort, for both sides to the controversy, the strikers and the Unlon Pacific, evidently are as determined and uncompromising now as they were when the strike began. Nothing has been done to facilitate closer relat'ons between ths contending factions or according to their claims, weaken their positions. Waiting to Be Led. Under such circumstances it is reely possible that either of the prine’pals will take the Initiative In any movement looking to an adjustment of thelr differences any time soon. The raflroad company still boldly declares its ability to withstand the strike for an indefinite period, pronouncing its motive power unaffected as yet, despite persistent claims of strikers to the con- trary. On the other hand strike“leaders assert their determination and power to endure a winter's slege 1f necessary and even longer than that. A leader of the strike said a few days ago that the machin- ists, bollermakers and blacksmiths were able and determined to stand out for thelr demands for a year if need be, But in spite of their unylelding attitudes indications are not lacking of a disposition on the part of the rallroad and the strikers to follow the leadership of some outside influence in settling the strike, Or in other wards avidance has heen given of even a de- sire by both parties to have the fight brought to a close, if only it could be done without compromising either of them. With the passing of summer and the ap- proach of winter anxiety for a settlement of the strike, in other than strike circles, is increasing. Naturally the question be- comes pertinent, “Are the strikers In a position to carry the fight into the win- ter?' In this connection Secretary Grace of the machinists was asked last night for ndid statement as to the circumstances of the machini ‘who outnumber the other craftsmen in this fight and with whose af- fairs he is in touch officially. Mr. Grace sald: “Positively, there has bedn no suffering as yet among any of our men as a result of $his strike, Our benefits have been promptly Pald and while they are of course insuffi- clent to regularly maintain a family, they g0 far toward providing the actual neces- sities and that is about all our men care for just now, They are practicing the strictest economy and frugality. Can Get More Help. “Our men are instructed to apply to me directly for ald should their conditions de- mand more than the regular benefits amount to and they are not even required to pre- sent thelr wants to the lodge to which they belong. The utmost privacy is accorded to such proceedings. As yet, I can say that not one machinist has found it neces: | sary to take advantage of this provision. Prompt assistance will be given to any who may find it necessary to do eo, but we do not apprehend much of this sort of thing. Of course, we cannot say exactly what the winter will bring. I am informed that a large number, in fact, it has been sald, a majority of our men here in Omaha, own their own homes and probably the per- centage of those who own homes in other towns along the Union Pacific where the strike exl is even greater than here. This belng the case you can readily see that there is a wide breach between us and dire distress. If it should be necessary as a very last resort for any of our men to go to work In order to sup- port their familles while this strike is in progress, they would be given permission by the order to leave the city for that pur- pose. As to obtalning employment that fe the last question, There is work today for hundreds of machinists over the coun- try and we are dally in possession of ap- plications for men from different places. No apprehension need be entertained along that line. Of course, a fine has been pro- vided by the various orders involved in this strike to be imposed upon strikers leaving the city and taking work elsewhere, but io thie as“in all things, exceptions are possible and could be made when al solutely necessary. but yet none has been required. This morning all the 185 car bullders who struck in the Omaha shops, are ex- pected to be back at their work, result of a surrender of their fight Sunday. The officials expressed considerable pleasur but no surprise yesterday when they learned of this action. They profess to see this surrender of the car men evidences of weakening among the motive power strik- ers, but the latter apparently are unaffected and unconcerned over the car men's course. The bricklayers, carpenters, electrical workers and others who left the new shop bulldings on a strike a few days ago, will meeting tonight at Labor temple by the allied unions as 1o their course with the company.

GASOLINE FIRE IN STORE Explosion in Fuller Pharmacy Causes Loss to and Bu Fire which originated from the explosion of gasoline in the front end of the Fuller pharmacy at Fourteenth and Douglas streets at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoom, burned the shelving on the east sids of the bulld- ing almost balf the length of the stors, broke out the plate glass ‘vindows on the east and front, burned the papur from the celling and did considerable damage to the stock, The gasloine was in a gallon cin and was under the front counter. The caase of the explosion is conjectural, it belng presumod that some one dropped a match near the gas, and the vapor Ignited. When this can exploded the blaze spraad to tbroe smaller cans, which also exploded. In an instant the entire front of ‘he store was a mass of flames and the building filled With smoke. The employes of the stors made a hasty exit through the rear door, it being impossible to pass out the front door. By the time the fire department rrrived the flames had spread to an awning in front of the store and menaced a fruit stand owned by John Mornell on the cast side of the store. Mornell and a crowd of newsboys headed off any damage In this direction by throwing oranges, apples, bananas and everything contalned in bis stock into the street. The department qnickly extine gulshed the flames. The loss on the bufld- ing is estimated at about $200 and that on the stock will be about the same, though the management was unable to tell accurately. Both losses are covered by insurance. While the department was at this fire an alarm came in from Twenty-fifth avenue and Leavenworth street. This was the resi- dence occupled by N. F. Paulsen, 908 South Twenty-fifth avenue. The firo originated in a clothes closet. No one wds at home at the time and it was supposed to have bee: the result of mice and matches. The los was nominal. A Good Thing for Mother.

DISC.HARGES YOUNG SOLDIER Board Lets Worthy Fireman for Politi- cal Mercer-Broatch oOut Reasons. The devotion of the Mercer-Broatoh police commission to the soldier was shown yesterday when Chief Salter called before him A. B. Winship of the fire ddpartment and told him that under orders of the board he would not have to report any morec. Winship is a young man who served nearly two years in the Phillppines as member of Company G, Thirty-second infantry, United States volunteers, under Captain Rumboldt. He had been for eight months on the substitute list of the fire depart- ment and was ordered to report by tho old board just before {t went out of con- trol and that lgnment wi afterward approved by the new board and young Winehip put on the regular roll. No charges were preferred, but dismissal was made on the ground of-drregular appoint- ment. Winship is also a ‘member of the Painters’ unfon, but neither his service in the army nor his membership in or- ganized labor was of any avail against the Mercerites, who wanted jobs for their own followers.

LEADERS IN ROYAL ARCANL Supreme Regent Lungfin and Bupre Beoretary Rebson in Omaha. GIVEN WELCOME BY GRAND COUNCIL Arcanumites Feel Elated Over Elec- tion of Their Supreme Regent to the Presidency of National Fraternal Congre James A. Langfitt, supreme regent, and W. O. Robson, supreme secretary of the Royal Arcanum, enroute to their homes in the east from a meeting of the National Fraternal congrese at Denver, stopped over in Omaha last night and were given the glad hand by the grand council of Nebraska, Royal Arcanum, and will go on thelr way today with the knowledge that the mem- bers of the order in Nebraska were glad to meet them. Mr. Langfitt goes to Pitts- burg, Pa., and Mr. Robson to Boston. The supreme officers arrived late yester- day afternoon an hour behind schedule time and were at once taken in charge by Wil- the grand council and entertained at dinner. In the evening a welcome was tendered them at the First Congregational church, at which Mr. Langfitt and Mr. Robson do- lvered addresses which were listened to by a large audience of the members of the order and thelr friends. William M. Giller presided and in intro- ducing the supreme regent sald he was a man In whom the entire membership of the Royal Arcanum had the utmost confidence and for whom they had the kindest regards. “Not only do the members of this lodge admire and love Mr. Langfitt and have con- fidence in him, but the members of all fra- ternal organizations in America have con- fidence in him,” said Mr. Glller. “He has just been elected president of the National Fraternal congress, which 1s mot only a great honor to him, but to the Roval Ar- canum as well. His election means that the Royal Arcanum is at the front and head of all fraternal organizations." Langfitt Speaks Briefly. Mr. Langfitt made a short address, in which he assured his hearers that his elec- tion by the Fraternal congress to be its president was because he was at the head of the Royal Arcanum. He thanked the grand counell of Nebraska for Its royal wel- come and assured those present that the reports he had heard in Pittsburg about the women of Omaba being handsome and the men homely was untrue in the last part, though true In the first. He then gave a brief history of the order, of the good it had accomplished and the progress it had made. - Mr. Robson devoted his time to a talk on the order. He told that it had among its membership the conservative business men of every community. “I see a great likeness in the appearance of members of the Royal Arcanum In every state in the unlon,” he sald, “they all have that satisfied, kood look that reads Royal Arcanum as plain as print. ‘The organization has passed the experimental stage and is no longer on the defensive. We no longer have to an- swer criticlsms as we did a few years ago. We have overcome more obstacles than any other organization.” Mr. Robson closed with many compliments to the west- ern members. During the evening Mr. Willlam Man- chester and Miss Belle Thumball gave sev- eral instrumental and vocal selections. At the conclusion of the ceremonies those pree- ent were introduced to the visiting officers. ‘Will Do All This for You, Dr. King's New Lite Pills puts vim, vigor and new life into every nerve, muscle and organ of the body.
