OUR LETTER BOX.
In Defense of schooI rrenchers

In Defense of school Teachers.
OMAHA, Sept. 2S.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Please let me thank Mr.. James
Richardson for his letter in The Bee de-
Tending our public school teachers. I do
not know the particulars of the case in
question and cannot express any views
thereon, but I was very much panied ana
surprised when l saw such estimable men
as my honored old friends, DR. Miller and
Mr.. Samuel Burns rush into print censrr
ing our Omaha public school teachers for
Furnishing a child without first thoroughly
inquiring into the facts which prompted
the punishment. In tine more than quar-
ter century have been in Omaha 1 have
had six of my own children in our
public schools and 1 never once found
the teacher do an injustice or a
wrong to any child. AS for my part
think we should be proud of our public
schools, the great bulwark of our country.
and that 1t is every citizens and partlcu-
lary the parents solemn duty to stand
by the teachers. If we all do that there
will be no trouble with corporal punish
ments," simply because no child would
need it. e. A. FOGELSTROM.

MUNGER ALLOWS THE APPEAL
Federal Court Grants order for Heir
ship Funds Case to Go
Up Higher.

Judge Munger signed the order Thurs
day afternoon allowing the appeal in the
case of the United States, against the
county of Thurston, Neb, in the Indian
hership funds tax matter
Judge Munger recently decided that the
funds realized from the sale of Indian
lands were subject to taxation as con-
tended by the officials of Thurston county.
The case was argued at length before him
several weeks ago, District Attorney Bax-
ter appearing for the government and
County Attorney Whitcomb OF Thurston
county, contending for the right TO tax
this certain fund Of approximately $4,000
on deposit in the Security National bank
Of Sioux City.
The appeal is made on behalf OF the
United States by District Attorney Baxter,
who maintained that the funds in question
occupy the same trust relation as the lands
themselves so long as the fund is held in
trust by the government for the Indians.
The case will now go to the United States
court of appeals for the Eighth judicial cir
cult

FIGHT ON ELECTRIC WIRES
Street Railway and Electric Light Com
pany Likely to Lock Horns.
FORMER WANTS MORE TIME TO BURY WIRES
City Electrician MIchaeIsen Also
Opposes the Extension Because IL
VIII Retard Reduction of
Insurance Rates.

A sharp fight in the council is indicated
vver the ordinance introduced Tuesday
light by Councilman Evans which seeks to
,xtend the time when electric light, heat
and power wires in the downtown districts
nave to be placed underground to october
l. 1906
Councilman Evans said the measure was
put in at the request of the street railway
company. which has wires supplying cleo
trio current for light and power and cannot
conveniently put its wires in conduits until
text year. AS the proposition came with
out warning it was simply referred to
Committee, without debate.
The electric light people regard the move
~ one designated principally to give the
street railway company additional grounds
for assuming that it's right to sell electric
current for light and power purposes is
good because undisturbed by the city and
sanctioned on the vested rights" theory.
The street railway company has no fran
chlse authorizing carrying on such a bust
ness. but for several years It has supplied
current to Hayden Bros. the KIopp &
Eartlett Printing company the Byrne-
Hammer company and other large firms.
The wires are run overhead and are af
rected by the general ordinances requiring
re burying of all electric light wires
For long time the electric light inter-
ests have been promising a war on the
street railway company, but the fight has
rot been brought to crisis. The Evans
ordinance is expected to bring this up

an assent by the city to the street rail-

MIchaeIsen Opposes Ordinance.
