FREE TEXT BOOKS
OPPOSED IN STH WARD
Association Turns Down the
Proposed Charter Amend-
ment

The free text book amendment was
turned down by the Eighth Ward I'm
provement association at meeting held
at Mic Weiler's hall, University avenue
and Dale street, yesterday afternoon.
Immediately after E. C. Ives, member
of the city charter commission, one of
those ifyited by the association to give
his views upon the proposed amendments,
had spoken in favor of the free text book
amendment, F. M. Dolan. chairman of
the meeting, called upon Frank Erling,
an Eighth ward resident, to give his
views on the amendment
Mr.. Erling, who spoke in German, Wig
orously attacked the amendment, agree
ing with DR.. Ohage that free text books
would cause a great spread of contagious
diseases. Mr.. Erling said:
In addition to this one great objection
there Is still another, which Is especially
applicable to the Eighth ward voters. In
this ward there are many parocnlal
schools, and l believe the combined num-
Der of pupils IN these parochial schools
of the ward. cannot see where the man
who pays taxes, and whose children at
tend the parochial schools, will be ben
Gifted by the adoption of the amendment.
L believe that the time is not ripe yet
for free text books. There is no use
burdening the taxpayer with additional
really needs is ADDITIONAL school rooms.
The schools of the city are in a disgrace
fully crowded condition, and I for one
would rather see the amount asked for IN
the amendment applied to the building OF
new schools
Erling was repeatedly interrupted by
bursts of applause. When he had con-
cluded the applause was resumed with
vigor clearly indicating the sentiment OF
the meeting.
The association listened to representa-
tives of the departments which are ask
ing for increased appropriations, and as
far as could be judged the amendments
will be fayorably acted upon at the polls
by Eighth ward voters, especially the nre
and police department amendments.
Those who addressed the association
and the departments they represented are
as follows: Richard O'Brien, city engi-
neering department.; Ald.s Bantz, city en-
gineering department; DR.. A. w. Dunning,
board of park conmissloners; Reuben
Warner Jr., fire department; Police Com
missioner William 4FOelSen, Lieut.. Frank
Horn and Lieut.. Ernest Boerner, police
department.
E. G. Ives spoke in favor of the free
text book amendment, saying that the
that did not have free text books: Min
neapolis he said, found that after the
first year of the installment of the free
text book system the school attendance
increased $500 per annum, whereas the
usual increase had only been about 1000.
The police department has issued
small booklet containing figures which
show the necessity of an increase in ap-
preparation in order to keep the standard
of the department as it is. The booklet
covered by each patrolInan in the walk
ing of his beat, list of officers and men
and comparison of the present appro-
priation to the police department with
that of other cities and a quantity OF
miscellaneous information.

as to fire on inoffensive fishing vessels.
as reported in the Associated Press dis
patches from Hull prevailed in official
circles here tonight.
At the same time the same officials
were prompt to express the opinion that
the Russian government will be prompt
to disavow the act and apologize when
the matter is presented.
No information of Friday nights oc-
currence has reached either the state de-
partment or the Russian embassy. At
the latter place the officials were quick
to say that the firing on the fishing yes
sells, no doubt, was mistake for which
the Russian government will make a
prompt reparation and apology
1t was due unquestionably, they think,
to a misapprehension as to the character
