criticism" said Judge Gray, lis this: Take
a contract miner; he can limit his own
hours Of labor. The question is whether
the man who wants to work four or Ave
hours should limit the man who wants to
work eight or nine"
Under, our present theory regarding the
rights OF property responded Mr.. OAR
row, where a man has a right to own a
coal mine he has a perfect right TO work
twenty-four hours a day with all the men
he sees At. Now the other operators come
in. and because they own railroads or be-
cause they are stronger. they say: No,
you can only mine coal three days a week,
or eight hours a day. or whatever II is
The cases are parallel whether this pro-
hibitlon is imposed by the miners or the
operators"
Try TO Prepare for strike.
Mr.. Dickson said the position Of the
operators was that during the year 1901
and down to the strike the output was re-
rtricted so that It was impossible to fll
the storage places. All the companies OF
late years had been going to large ex-
pense to store coal at their terminal points.
The coming Of tho strike was ~foreseen and
the companies tried to get the coal in
advance, but did not succeed in doing so. y

the anthracite trade continued Mr.. Dick
son, us that the market will not take II
regularly and equally throughout the year"
Judge Gray expressed the opinion that
II the operators charged the miners with
restricting the output to the disadvantage
OF the public, the latter should be al
lowed to show that It was not them so
much as the operators.
Assuming the question is strictly be-
tween operators and miners" said Mr..
barrow, have the operators any more
right to say You shall not restrict the
numbe OF cars you load" than the miners
have to say We will only load six cars?' "
Judge Gray admitted the proposition was
the same.
Then" said Mr.. barrow, has one OPP
orator the right to say It to another"
mo. sir, ! don't think he has" replied
the chairman, and added that he did not
believe the commission bad given the ques-
tion Of restriction sny serious thought.
Mr.. barrow then asked the commission
to request Messrs. Baer, Harris, Thomas
and Truesdale to testify concerning tho
questions under discussion.
All the witnesses today we're examined

corning the alleged restriction OF output,

OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

with some question abroad as to the
economy practiccd in the conduct Of the
public schools not a few Of the principals
and teachers have taken the matter home
to themselves, so to speak, and have made
an estimate Of the supplies used in their
schools with a view to curtailing. II that
can be done. and as a result the most OF
them are proud Of their record and feel
that 1t can hardly be improved upon. a re-
view Of their system and an inspection Of
the school property committed to their
care must certainly commend the approval
Of all for the painstaking care hat it
proves.
This is especially true regarding the text
books. The generally soiled and dilapidated
condition Of some Of the books indicates,
it is true, that they have had hard and
even careless use, but a comparison readily
shows these to be exceptional, while the
books that are in poor condition are chiefly
those that have been in use for a number Of
years.

quently inspected. In many OF the build
ings the books are issued to the pupils by
number a record being kept of their hold
ers and weekly inspection OF them being
made. In many buildings, too. the books
are covered with cloth or heavy paper
covers, each pupil being responsible
for the books he is using, and with few ex-
ceptions all of the new books issued during
the last few years have had this kind of
care, and when a child is disposed to be
careless Of the schools property he is given
the old books until he shows signs Of i'm
provement, and so the care OF these things
has become a matter Of pride with the
children. In at least four buildings of the
city and doubtless many others there are
sets OF supplementary readers that have
been in use for eleven years. These books
are and have been used by two and three
classes every day and are surprisingly free
from soil and wholly free from markings,
the rubbing OF their covers, evidently the
result of stacking, and the loosening of the
binding, which is slight considering their
use, being their chief signs of wear. These
books are not yet half worn out. When
each class has finished using them they are
counted and taken to the next room, and at
night are again counted and left in the
principals Office.

CIVIL WAR NOT LIKELY.
New King Of Servia Is Acceptable
to the People.

New King of SerVia Is Acceptable
to the People.
The tragedy at the palace of Bel
grade, marking the latest of the reyo
buttons which have convulsed Servia
from time TO time during the last cen
tury, is not regarded in diplomatic
circles as likely to lead to civil war.
Stress is laid on the unpopularity Of
King Alexander since his marriage to
Queen Draga. King Alexanders sue
cessor, Peter Karageorgevitch, is q
son-in-law OF the prince of Monte
negro, and is regarded as being most
acceptable to the people.
The universal anxiety OF the gov
ernments Of Europe for peace Is adj
vanced as a reason why the Servian
situation is not likely to lead to COM
plications. Should, however, these
Unexpectedly arise. official circles
think an Austro-Hungarian army will
Immediately march into Servia and
restore order. This eventually, how
ever, is considered improbable.
1t is semiofficially stated that King
Edward of England and Qneen Alex
andra were informed of the Servian
tragedy at Buckingham palace, but as
their majesties had no personal &C
ouaintance with the unfortunate SOW
ereigns their demise did not prevent
the king from carrying out his days
arrangements.
What will the future bring forth
for Servia was the question heard on
every hand. One morning paper
prints what is declared to be Ser
Wan prophecy. running thus:
After Karageorgevitch has passed
to the crown through blood, foreign
nation win come down and hold the
land, driving him away. There will
the foreigners stay for year. After
ward a man will come from the blood
Of the old kings OF the land, who viii
drive out the foreigners and establish
a new rule as great as in ancient
times"
A Servian resident In London is
quoted as saying that Karageorge-
vitchs claims to the throne are likely
to be disputed by Prince Mirako Of
.ontenegro. who married CONSTANT
noyitch, descendant OF the old Ser
Wan monarchs. Mirako Is in great
favor with Russia. Peter Karageor-
gevitch is also persona gratissima in
st. Petersburg. whereas he is pro-
portionately disliked in Austria.
