Man who Had Been consorting with
Her Arrested for the
Crime.

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-With her skull

TEACHERS WANT MORE PAY
Omaha School Ma'sus Are Asking fol-
higher Wages
PETITION GOES TO Board THIS EVENING
Conditions different Now Than when
Present Schedule Was Adopted
Fourteen Years Ago Fixing
Teachers Salaries.

Omaha school teachers have concluded
that they are entitled to better wages, and
have decided to ask the Omaha Board Of
Education to advance the present scale.
When the board meets tonight II will have
before il petition asking that the pay OF
all teachers in tho grade schools below the
principals be increased.
This Affects about 800 teachers. In their
petition. which has been prepared with
great care. the teachers set forth their
case at length and go into considerable de
tail. II is explained that the rate of pay
for teachers, with its maximum OF $40 per
month, was adopted some fourteen years
ago, and that since that time all conditions
have undergone a great change. The cost
OF living has advanced in all directions,
wages in all other lines have advanced and
the teachers have had no share in the gen
eral prosperity that has been enjoyed by
the community otherwise In making their
calculations the teachers have extended
their salary over the twelve months OF the
year. instead of the ten months for which
they arc emT ,oyed, and make comparisons
to show that the grade teachers and kinder
gartners are the poorest paid of all the city
employees. A Kindergarten at $40 per month
for the ten months gets $500 per year, and
this distributed over twelve months amounts
to 1888 per month which is less than the
city pays for laborers on the streets All
sorts of appointees around the city hall and
at the courthouse draw bigger pay than the
school teacher.
Modern methods OF education demand
more of the teachers time and more is ex-
pected of her than at the time when the
present rate Of pay was fixed by the school
board. The petition carries with it many
illustrations of the conditions. argues with
forsa why the teachers should have more
money. An organization exists among the
schoolma ans, the object of which is to
press this matter.

Fatally injured:
James f. Mullen
gas leakage in the basement OF the
bank building was primarily responsible for
the explosion and loss of life Gas was
detected coming from the building and two
workmen went into the basement about
o'clock with lighted candles to investi-
gate. The flame evidently ignited the gas
in the basement for tremendous explo-
sion followed. The two workmen were
blown through a basement window and
landed uninjured in an open box car stand
ing on a, nearby track. The building was
completely wrecked. The three children
killed were passing che building on their
way home from church ard were caught
in the falling debris. The explosion broke
windows in many stores in the business
district and scattered the papers and docu-
ments Of the bank for blocks around.
Tho victims were all church attendants
on their way home from mass. Anderson
& Peterson, steam ftters, had been en-
gagged to make repairs to the heating
plant and as they entered the building
they detected the smell Of gas. They
thought little Of the circumstances how
ever, and as they passed into the furnace
room they struck a match to a gas jet.
There was terrible explosion. The steam
filters were blown through the doorway
at the rear Of the building. while the build
ing collapsed, falling INTO the street a
mass of ruins. A crew was switching cars
on a sidetrack near the banl: and cars
blocked the crossing when the explosion
occurred. Many persons were standing on
the walk, awaiting the passing Of the
cars and thus were within reach of the
explosion. There were a number OF mar
row escapes from death or serious injury.
James Mullen waSr in ms Office in the bank
building when the accident occurred and
he was not taken from the debris until
the roscuers had worked for two hours In
clearing away the wreckage.
The bodies of the KILLED were fearfully
mangled. The safety deposit vault in the
bank is unin1ured. The entrance to It is
In a two-foot stone wall. which separated
