HOW BOOKS ARE PURCHASED
W. z. johnson Says Superintendent Goes
from One Committee 10 Another.
srrs APPROVAL BY VARIOUS REPORTS
United states History Remains in Use
Against Recommendation Of the
Majority OF Principals Of
Grade Schools.

N referring TO the interview Of W. r.
Homan. published in The Bee. ". r. John
bon Of the Board of Education, said:
II was interested In the remarks OF Mr..
Homan regarding the text book committee,
- published IN The Bee. / have been on
kbe board longer than Mr.. Homan and
probably understand som Of the things
which is not patent to a man who has net
been on the board SO long. As to the
superintendent ordering books without con-
Quilting a committee, / admit the appear
unces from the standpoint OF a member Of
abe text book committee may be that he
has done so; at the same time do not
know Of a time when he has ordered books
without being authorized by a committee.
In some cases where the superintendent
has made up his mind that new books
ehouid be ordered he has brought the mat
Tar before the textbook committees: that
committee has disagreed with him and he
has taken the question before the supply
Sommittee, or perhaps the teachers com
nitfee, and among all Of the committees
Ne found one which would agree to his
proposal, and the books were ordered. In
shs torm OF a committee report the action
would be approved by the board.
AS to the purchase of new books with
ont exchanging the old ones, 1 remember
= case wnere the committee or the hoard
had authorized the superintendent. at his
Requsst, to purchase a number OF books.
The old books of the same character were
20 be exchanged in part payment for the
new ones. The superintendent drew up
me formal order Of the board and after II
was put upon its passage It was discov-
cred that the provision relating to the ex-
change OF the old books had been omitted.
The passage of the order was suspended
until the error was corrected and the SUI
periptendent expressed considerable sur
prise to think that he had omitted the pro-
vision which would have meant considera-
Die to the company selling the books.
Complaint Against History.
THE complaint as to the history now in
use In the schools is well taken. The
committee had the question up last year.
We asked for expressions from the prin-
eipals OF the schools as to the merits of
the book and the majority of these prin-
oipals recommended that It be dropped in
favor OF some simpler book. The commit
Zee had, as l understood it at the time. de-
oided to discontinue the use OF this book.
but had not decided upon which one TO
use In its place. The book In question is

trust and was strongly recommended by
the superintendent. I left Omaha in July
and returned in September. When I got
back ! found that the matter had been set
Ned and that the superintendent recon-
nendation had prevailed over the opinion
Of the majority Of the principals and that

NO VACCINATION, NO SUPPORT

The Board OF Health has issued an or

The Board of Health has issued an or
der, as follows:
All persons in Omaha who refuse sue
cessful vaccination Inc thereafter con-
tract smallpox must not expect any as
sistance from the city other than quaran-
tine.
This order was made necessary" said
DR.. Coffman, city physician, "by the fact
that persons who have persistently refused
vaccination are now coming down with
smallpox. It isn't fair, in the face Of our
repeated offers OF free vaccination, that the
city should be made to pay for such willful
neglect. You know 1t has been our Gus
tom in the past, in cases where a family

breadwinner, to send It free Of charge food.

such time as the quarantine was lifted.

Captain EIobaon's Views,

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Feb. 7.-Cap- tain Richmond Pearson Hobson, who was a guest of the New Haven Busi- ness Mems association at their annual banquet, was received with great en-. thusiasm. He urged that the Monroe doctrine be extended to the Filipinos and to the walls of Picking, declaring that the United States should insist that Europeans shall not partition off China, but open it up to the trade of the world as the United States opened up Japan Among the dangers that face Europe he mentioned a possible Slavic invasion, in the event of which, he said, it would fall to the lot of the United States to assist in saving Flu rope from general war. Without a rela- lively powerful navy such action would be manifestly impossible

Bronson < Minor Enter Two Suits

 Papers in a suit for S250 against County Sheriff Dun!ss m were drawn lp this afternoon by Bronson 8c Minor There are three counts i'll the com plaint, two charging the sheriff with conspiracy and the third with negli- gence The suit is q sequel to the re- cent boxing exhibition held in the au- ditorium by the National athletic club, of which Moe Harris is said to be manager. Bronson x Minor, represent ing creditors of Harris, issued papers of attachment on the box office re- ceipts. Their officer found the re- ceipts In possession of another officer by power of an alleged attachment 4 custom i'll such cases was not followed by the first officer, and this is said to be the negligence charged in the com plaint. The fraud is alleged to De con- spiracy on the part Of Sheriff Durham through his deputy, who is said to have been Sheriff Rametti. with Moe Harris to defraud Harris.
 The morning after the fight it was commonly reported that the first attachment on the receipts was fake, put to protect the money for those who had financial interests in the exhibi- ton.

tive. no one seems to find fault with the manner in which it was handled.
 On the contrary, conservative men think we have much to be grateful for, seeing that the situation is not far
 worse. Al one time Sunday night few people thought that there would be q
 building standing about the center in the morning and many feared that the It might not be amiss to mention right here that to-day marks the twentieth anniversary of the election of Mir Snagg as chief of the Waterbury fire department. He was chosen on Feb ruary [, 1882, and has held the posi- tion continuously since. Neither the chief nor his trusted assistant, Ter renee c. O'Brien, got much sleep since the fire started.
 Mayor Kiiduff was on deck bright and early this morning and made tour through the burned sections ana gave such instructions to the men at work as he deemed necessary. Be tween presiding at meetings of the boards, answering calls from out of town and entertaining visitors, Mayor Kilduff might be said to be one of the busiest men in the world since last Sunday night. When the excitement is over and things get back to the nor- nal condition it is more than probable that the mayor, the heads of the differ ent departments, the merchants and others who have been ruthlessly driven out, the police and firemen. will feel like taking long rest. 1t is surpris ing how all these men managed to keep. on their feet for such an extended period With little food and practically no sleep.
 The talk about building temporary structures on the green does not seem to meet with much favor in certain quarters. Some of the objections heard against the proposition are sen timental, while others are practical. Some say that the smoke from the structures would kill the trees and that if the buildings should be put up there the park would be of no use to the public next summer. The other class of pbjectors take the ground that many of the merchants have already secured temporary places to conduct their busi- ness in and that the rest of them will be able to find stores as soon as they have chance to look around. This is one way of looking at 1t. but all the same most of the staid old citi- zens believe that if the green is the best place that can be had there should De no question about allowing the use Of It for that purpose. So far as can De learned the proposition to use the green has not yet been submitted to the city government It is probable that action will be taken on the matter at the meeting of the Business Mems association tonight.

What are you people going to do regarding overtimeY asked Demo crat reporter to-day of prominent labor man. "We'n do what's right,
 he said. Flight hours constitute days work, but we won't stop when the eight hours are up, but intend to keep right along, if the builders want us to. and charge time and half for the extra hours. 1 think this Is lair. Just look at what some of these people who find fault with labor unions are doing, charging three times as much for little stores as they ever expected to be able to get for them, and others hustling business men out into the street because some one else has or fered them a few dollars more for the buildings. Why. the prices some peo- ple are asking for stores is outrageous. and if you will look around you will see that the ones that are putting 1t on thicKest of all are the people who never could afford good word for labor unions. They think it is all right for them to take advantage of the conditions that exist here to-day to secure the highest possible penny for their stores, and at the same time they have no hesitation in stating that if labor unions hint that they want to make anything out of their labor at q time like this, they shake dheir heads and tell their neighbors about these unscrupulous labor fellows. The labor men will do the right thing. charge no more for days work HOW than at any other time. Are the owners of some of the, buildings showing as fair spirit as this? I guess not.
