JANITOR RUBS AGAINST ART
Hence Musical Director Kelly Says Mop
Manipulation Must Go
QUESTION UP TO THE CHURCH TRUSTEES
Choir Master Insists that the JRnitOr
Has Refused in an Insulting
Manner to Perform
Certain Work.

Thomas J. Kelly, musical director and
o~rganist at the First Methodist Episcopal
church. has submitted q tentative resigns-
tion to c. F. Weller, chairman of the music
committee and a member of the board Of
trustees. Mr.. Kelly said he was willing to
continue In charge of the largest and best
known musical department of any church
in the city provided that Janitor lines was
dismissed from service. The board Of
trustees demurred at this and insisted upon
giving the ~janitor a hearing, while the
musical director held out for instant ac-
tion. Finding that this course was not to
be followed Mr.. Kelly rendered his resig-
nation and Mr.. Weller thereupon resigned
from the board of trustees.
Behind the differences between Musical
Director Kelly and Janitor lines is a deeper
signihcance-marked In the divergence Of
the ideas Of the congregation as to what
extent and scope the musical department
should be carried. What is said to be a
minority has for some time complained of
what was termed a ''preponderance Of
muFic." This feeling has exhibited itself
at various times, and according to common
report has been focused in the ~janitor, who
is an aged and very religious Scotchman,

n~on-musically inclined factions the differ

on the firing line.
According to Mr.. Kelly the present crisis
is to be a test Of the music question in the
church. Friday evening when the choir
had gathered for rehearsal he stated the
case plainly and told the members that
rather than submit to what he considered
insults and ineficieney on the part of the
~janitor. backed up by the member Of the
congregation who favored less eeremoniC1s
and less expensive music. he would re-
sign. He then dismissed the choir. stating
that he would not conduct the services as
usual Sunday. The announcement came as
a surprise to most of the choristers. who
dispersed without any attempt at rehearsal
and with many expressions OF regret over
the course affairs had taken.
Mr.. Kelly says the inattention and neglect
on the part OF the janitor have been pro-
nounced and by no means uncertain, and
hat ne has refused or occasion TO do
certain work required OF him for the benefit

GREATER DEMAND FOR MONEY
Omaha Banks Not Likely TO Keep Tn
to New York Rates OF
Interest.

The money market in Omaha experienced
a revival in demand for money for COM
mercial use this week on account OF the
marked advance Of rates In New York. but
IL Is not believed that the hrmer rates thus
created Will be maintained for any length
OF time. Money is now coming into the
city banks from the banks Of the interior
OF the state and the next statement is ex-
pected TO show a much larger volume Of
deposits than the last one. The last state
ment, published in February. showed much
smaller deposits generally than for the pre-
vious February, but the causes which pro-
duced that result are expected to bring
about a comparatively larger deposit in
April, at which time a call for another
statement may be expected.
The soft corn harvested last fall caused
farmers to feed more cattle than usual and
the money which usually comes from the
sale of corn did not arrive. as 1t required
longer time to sell the cattle. These cattle
are now being placed on the market and the
money, with possibly higher profits, is com,
ing to the banks in the interior OF the state
and in turn being sent to the banks Of
Omaha. These deposits since February
have increased approximately 49, 0 900.
On the other hand, the loans and dis
counts OF the banks have not Increased in
proportion and we're it not for the condition
of the eastern money market a slightly
lower rate for demand loans on good Sc
curity might be expected. This is, how
ever. equallzed by the increased demand for
money on the part Of a number Of western
Institutions which are ordinarily supplied
in the east, but which have been Temporal
rily driven from that market by the high
rates.

TO KEEP ELKHoRN IN LINE
River Threaten to Leave Channel
and Cut Across VaIua
BILE Farm.

The Elkhorn river is misbehaving and the
county commissioners have commissioned
the county surveyor to go whip 1t into line
again. Al yesterdays meeting OF the
board a resolution was adopted instructing
the engineer to survey west Of the river
with a view to Strengthening its course and
saving the necessity OF another bridge on
the Military road. 1t was explained that
up in the northwest corner of Elkhorn pre-
cinet the river threatens to cut across the

loop, instead Of following its present chan
mel. II IL should be allowed to do this the

for the trafic on the Military road would
be several hundred feet from the poiut
where 1t would be most needed, and there
might be necessity for a new bridge as we'll

will go Monday. The present plan is to re-
