MURDEROUS MICROBES
Breeding and Feeding in
Human InteStineS.
A New Powerful Germ Destroyer
Discovered-HOw Microbes are
Killed While You Sleep.

Millions of microbes, bacteria, ptomaines,
disease-germs of every kind live and breed
and feed in the stomach and bowels.
For their propagation it is only necessary
for the liver and intestines TO become lazy
and operate irregularly.
Modern science has been at work to find
a means of killing microbes, and the most
successful germ destroyer of all is Cas-
carets Candy Cathartic. They slaughter
bacteria wherever they find them, are anti
septic, stop sour stomach, make the liver
lively, the blood pure, the bowels regular,
everything as 1t should be.
Go buy and try Cascarets today. It's
what they do, not what we say they'll do,
that proves their merit. All druggists, lOc,
25c or SOC, or mailed for price. Send for
booklet and free sample. Address. The
Sterling Remedy Co, Chicago, Montreal,

TICKET AGENTS IN CONFERENCE.
Annual Meeting at Atlanta Promises
TO BE an ImpOrtnnt ~Gnthcring.

While not one of the Omaha ticket agents
is in attendance upon the annual meeting
OF the International Association of Ticket
Agents, now in session at Atlanta, Ga, they
are, nevertheless, much interested in its
outcome. The present convention promises
to be the most important in the history of
the association, which dates its inception
from 1889. The principal subject on the
docket for discussion is the sweeping aboll,
tion Of commissions to ticket agents, which
has recently become effective on all the
railroads in the United States,
II is deemed improbable that the agents
will go on record as unalterably opposed
10 the action of their superior officers, but
II is likely that they will suggest some
plan for the consideration of the general
passenger agents and other general officers
whereby they may be, in a measure, COM
pensateh for the loss sustained by the abol-
ishment of the commissions. This may b.
accomplished by the adoption of a resoiu-
tion recommending the railroads to advance
the salaries of the agents or else adopt the
payment of commissions again with certain
notifications satisfactory to the superior
officials.

M New Picking HOuse.

A few days ago mention was made In the
press of a transfer OF fifty odd lots in the
southern part of the city to Clara Rank and
the inference was that the property was be-
ing purchased by the Stock Yards company
for a new packing house. Investigation
proves that the transfer was merely one
more legal step In a long series OF litigation
and has no significance. 1t is reported,
however, that there is a deal on foot TO
acquire a considerable tract of land in the
southern portion OF the city for trackage
purposes, but the Clara Rank transfer has
nothing to do with the deal now on foot.

Contract Taken at a Loss.

profit involved and replied that "a cents
was less than the actual expense to the con-
tractor. He said that his brother-in-law
had taken the contract at a loss in order to
crafty a private grudge which he enter
tanned against Boyles, the former contrac-
tor.
Tho committee then made a faithful eff
fort to reach the bottom of the wagon pur-
chase. Johnson, who is a salesman for the
Seaman Buggy company, admitted that he
had sold the school board a wagon for $175,
but he was positive that no commission had
been offered or accepted by any board mem
Der. The price charged, he said, was the
same as that made to other purchasers. This
statement is contradictory to the evidence
of c. C. Belden, who testified that he had
purchased an identical wagon from the firm
for 1925. Detective Buckminster testified
also that Member Cowie had confessed to
him that there was a small commission in
the deal. Johnson then recounted the trip
of the board members to Kansas City on the
invitation of the American Warming and
Ventilating company, but no new testimony
was brought out.
The committee continued its sitting at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when eX-Member
Bandhauer made a brief statement regard
ing the Kansas City trip. The committee is
now engaged with its report to the board
and will probably hold no further sittings.

WHY LATENSER WAS CHOSEN
School Board Members Tell How Change
Came to Be Made,
SHOULD COMPETITION HAVE BEEN INVITED
Architect Lntenscr Insists that lie
Did Not Either solicit or
Know Of the Apnoint-
ment.

A great deal Of comment has been aroused
by the award to Architect Batenser Of the
work OF preparing plans for a new High
school building without inviting compcti-
tion from other architects. with a view
to ascertaining what were the motives Of
the new members Of the school board, who
had unanimously supported Latcnser, The
Bee has secured the following interviews:
Member Robert Smith II was prompted BY
several consideration in voting for Latenser
for the High school architect. In the first
place, he was vouched for by the bard
members who have been conducting the
recent investigation and in whom l had
confidence. The school buildings already
constructed by Mr.. Latenser are giving the
highest satisfaction as regards construction,
appearance, ventilation and other particu-
lars. In the second place The Bee and the
public in general have been urging prompt
action and If competitive plans were drawn
up considerable time would necessarily be
consumed, Then, If plans were invited, 1t
would be necessary TO allow each contestant
a certain percentage, whether his plans
were accepted or not. and the proceeding
would prove expensive in money as well as
time.
"If It could be done under the terms of
the bond issue | should much prefer that
the $3.50, 900 be expended in three high
schools. There is a manifest hardship in

Another Of the Tainted Majority Explains
His Official Conduct.
EMORY FAILS AT tn: CRITICAL POINTS
Former schoo Board Member Admits
that He Prepared Relatives hid,
but Forgcts when IL Was
landed to secretary.

The Investigation committee OF the Board
of Education held a final session yesterday to
listen 20 the defense Of eN-Member a. w.
Johnson, whose conduct was called into
question at the previous session. The COM
mittee had believed that its labors were
over. but upon Johnson's plea that he had
not received fair play he was given a chance
to testify. According to the evidence Of
Secretary Gillian Johnson had extracted from
him the fact that the lowest bid on seat
cleaning was 55 cents per desk. Gillian un-
suspectingly gave Johnson this information
on the night for the awarding of the con-
tract. Just after the meeting was called to
order the secretary received from the page
a bid of 81 cents in the name of Oscar Peter
son, brother-in-law Of johnson. The hand
writing was that of Johnson.
johnson admitted on the stand that he
wrote the proposal for his brother-in-law
which was accepted by the board. He as
serted, however, that the bid was prepared
at his house before the meeting began. ut
is only fair to state" continued Johnson.
that no bids were invited for the seat
cleaning and that the work was let in a sort
of an auction. The proposals sent in were
unsealed and any member might he allowed
to examine them. l knew during the after
noon that the lowest bid so far submitted
was 80 cents
Didn't you ask the secretary about it in
the hallway" inquired Committeeman
Johnson.
"He told me what the low bid was, but I
don't think ] asked him. responded the
witness.
The committeeman then Intercepted Mr..
Johnson very pointedly regarding the draw
ing up Of the bids and its submission to the
board. Johnson was unable to account for it
after he had prepared it at his house. He
was asked directly If he had not himself
brought the bid to the board rooms, but he
was unable to recall the circumstance When
he was pressed for an answer the witness
exhibited confusion and either did not re-
member or went into such rambling eX-
plantations as to try the committees pa
thence. Whenever the committee seemed on
the point of securing information OF value
Johnson's memory failed to perform its
functions.
