ONE APPOINTEE FAILS OF CONFIRMATION ka Rejected Koutsky Speaks Hi, ks nd Mayor Mind on the lefore Proceed with Business. e The naming of two members of the Board of Review was the, feature of last night's council meeting. After half an hour's talk the matter is still unsettled When it came to naming the appointees City Treasurer Howe submitted the name | of Jobn F. Schultz. This appointment was | confirmed by the four members present, 0O'Connor and Broderick being absent. Then | it came the mayor's turn to name a man | and he submitted the mame of Frank| Pivonka. Adkins and Smith voted for Pivonka and Queenan and Welsh opposed the confirmation, thus making a tie vote. As the charter specifically provides that these appointments must be confirmed by | a majority of the council, the mayor did | not have the deciding vote. Before letting the matter rest the mayor | spoke his mind to the council. He said: | “Pivonka goes or no one goes. I have been | bothered about this appointment for ten | Gays and I want it over with. The cor- porations are watching every move that is made and I want a board that will see to it that the taxes are fairly equalized, a board that will not be dominated by the corperations.” In reply to the mayor's remarks Weish sald that he had nothing against Mr. Pivonka except that he did not speak Eng- lish well enough to be understood, and that this would doubtless act as a detriment | to his serving for ten days on the board With a parting shot at the couneil, to the effect that he was tired of the whole deal and was satisfled that someons was trying to put up a job, so as to reduce the corporation taxes, the mayor called for the next order of business and no attempt was made to substitute another name There will be another meeting of the coun- | cfl Friday night, when it is expected that | the matter will come up again. In making a report on motions for lhl‘ laying of crosswalks in different parts of | the city, Welsh stated that there was no | money on hand for the purpose and the | laying of walks would have to be deferred | until the 1503 levy was available. | City Engineer Beal was directed to es- | tablish the grade on Thirtieth street from Q to Z streets. It is the Intention of prop- erty owners to pave this street during the summer. Permanent sidewalks were ordered laid as follows: On E street, from Twenty- fourth to Twenty-sixth; F street, from Twenty-second to Twenty-fifth; G street, from Twenty-second to Twenty-fourth; H street, from Twenty-first to Twenty-fourt! 1 street, from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth J street, from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth; K street, from Twenty-second to Twenty- fifth; L street, from Twentieth to Twenty- fourth; Missour! avenue, from Thirteenth to Twentieth. Notices will be sent to Pproperty owners In this district and in case the walks are not lald within thirty days the city will perform the work and charge the cost to the property. Board of Educstion, Last night the Board of Education held a short session. Even :though the time occupled was short, considerable business was transmitted. Superintendent McLean was allowed §75 for expenses to attend the National Edueatfonal assoclation conven- tion to be held in Boston this summer. A portion of the salaries for the coming school year were fixed. Few changes as compared with last year's salary roll were made. Orders were issued for the Immediate repairs of all schosl buildings where re- palrs are needed. J. H. Hunter was given the contract for grading at Madison school at the rate of 3% cents per cuble yard. An examining committee was named as follows: E. R Leigh, Dr. W. L. Curtis and Mrs. Josephine Carroll. Teachers' ex- aminations will commence at the high school building on June 15. Prof. Graham was given permission to use one room in the high school annex for & summer school, and Miss Bertha Clark was given the use of ane room in the same butlding for the summer for the teaching ot elocution. Bills to the amount of 31,86 were allowed. Monday Receipts Light. Monday's receipts of live stock disap- pointed many of the commission dealers who had looked for a big run. Those who sent out inquiries learned that the flelds | are drying up after the heavy rains and that farmers are now busy replanting grain had been delayed on account of the storms. Some say that on this account the receipts this week will not be as heavy as last week, while others incline to the opinion that the middle of the week will see big runs of both cattle and hogs. Trades Cow Plente. Sunday, June 14, the Trades and Labor annual picnic at Pries lake. Arrangements for the picnic have practically been com. pleted. Bids for the refreshment privilege have been recetved and these will be acted on today. A big crowd from Omaha and South Omaha is expected to attend thi plcnic. Officers of the street rallway eom- pany have been requested to provide addi- tional service on the Florence line, in order that ‘the crowds may be handled without any unnecessary delay.

Montgomery, 62 South Thirty-sixth street Mr. Montgomery called up the station and said he had a robber in the house, and after a gallop of nearly thirty blocks the officers had a disappointment in store for them. The “bird had flown,” but in his flight had not forgotten to take Mrs. Montgomery's This was the extent of his theft, as he was discovered before he had time to get hoid of anything more. The man gained entrance to the house through a front cellar window and at once made his way to the room in which Mrs. Montgomery wi sleeping. Mrs. Mont- gomery was awakened and saw the man going through the bureau drawers. After ransacking them he turned his attention to a chest of drawers, and then Mrs. Mont- gomery spoke to him and told him that there was nothing of value in them, only some tools. Mr. Burglar quietly came over to the side of the bed and, taking the hand of Mrs. Montgomery, looked at it for val- uable rings. He tried to pull a ring off )er finger, but she exclaimed “Oh, don't take that. ment ring.” He very kindly allowed it to remain and | slipped out of her room into the next one, occupled by her son. Young Montgomery at first mistook the man for his father and spoke, and the fellow ran down stairs, tollowed by the young man, and on reach- ing the lower landing he was unceremoni- ously told to fallow no further, and the words were emphasized with a revolver. ‘That was enough—and Mr. Montgomery, | Jr.. let the housebreaker escape through the kitchen door.

The appropriation for the postal ser- vice was passed with only a small at- tendance in the house, attention centering | on Mr. Chaplin’s amendment to the finance bill, opposing the remisston of the tax on wheat, which will be discussed tomorrow. | Much uncertainty still prevails as to whether the government will permit any extended discussion on its general finan- clal program and It fs thought likely | the debate will be closely limited to the wheat tax. It is understood that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach intends to speak to- morrow, probably following Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.

In the course of his address Mr Reid said Outside the immediate effect on the fam- ily, the conservative power of educiisl women will naturally show its influence in life. They will certainly correct the prav- alent vicious conception of its real scope. From this degrading conception comes the constant craze for new spaper publieity, and sther form of publicity. If the con- the so-called inner circles of socie has sometimes seemed to justify thix b uproar at their gates, so much eater the demand for the conservative influence und the real refinement that come from the high | training of superior women. | 'When higher ideals do return, the power- | ful influence of educated women will surely array, as never before, the best of their X in compact, resistless phalanx against | a social evil, alarming, degrading and de- moralising, which has become al- | most too common to provoke surprise—the | transformation of marriage from a_sacra. | ment of God Into thoughtless and he-alons | business or soclal irrangement, (o be uls- solved almost at pleasure.

SIXTEENTH STREET PAVEMENT Councilman Hoye Thinks it Should Be Comdem: reet Closed Temporarily. Couneilman Hoye announced yesterday morning a plan to force the repaving of Six- | teenth street between Douglas and Cum- ing at the expense of the abutting property | owners. “I think fhe eouncil should con- | demn the street where it is In such bad | condition and close it up temporarily,” said | the councilman from the Second. “The | asphalt s so bad that this could be dol® with perfect propriety. It was put down | twenty years ago and was the first paving | of the kind In Omaha. In the intervening time it has been repaired many times and ;hu never cost the abutting property own- ers one penny, being paid for by the ity at large out of the street repair fund | There is no use sinking any more money in the old pavement, as it wWill come u> llapidated every year. “The property owners along Sixteenth, between Douglas and Cuming, are mostly nonresidents and are deriving profits of from 20 to 3 per cent on the money in- vested. They get the benefit, as the traffic makes Sixteenth strest an important one. Therefore they should be compelied to sign the required retition for repaving. I am getting figures together and trying to ascertain what the people think about it If the sentiment favoring my views is sufficiently strong I will introduce such a resolution as [ have mentioned and have little doubt that it will pass the counci] S0 far as the other streets are con cerned, 1 think they should be repatrea with money from the regular fund, which 1s large enough this year to put them all in good conditio Crushed to Death in Elevator.
