NEBRASKA CITY Is EXCITED

Students Make Trouble when Man Not
Liked is Elected superintendent.
NEBRASKA CITY, May s.-(Special.)-
From a scholastic standpoint Nebraska
City is excited as It never was before. In
May. 1892. Prof. Sinclair was elected prin-
cipal OF the high school and the year fol-
lowing was elected superintendent. Since
then there has been a fight, but Mr.. Sin
clair has always succeeded in aiighting on
his feet and having a majority OF the
board in his favor. In the elections It has
been a contest between the Sinclair and
anti-sinclair factions. Monday night the
Board OF Education met and the result
was that DR.. Watson, who has been pres
ident for the past eleven years, was de-
feated and W. w Metz elected in his
stead. D. w. schminke was chosen vice
president and Duncan Maccuaig secretary.
Superintendent Sinclair was reelected and
this so exasperated the students OF the
high school that they were not slow in
showing their anger. The vote stood
for Principal George z. Martin and for
Mr.. Sinclair.
The announcement OF the vote was
greeted with school yell Of derision. To
show how the students felt eighty-seyen
petitioned for the retention of Mr.. Martin
AS soon as the board adjourned a mock
session of the board,>was held in the reg
ulsr meeting place OF the board and then
large black nag was placed at half mast
over the high school, the keyholes OF the
doors plugged. Grape put on Prof. Martins
desk while on Superintendent Sinclair's
desk white Grape was used On the doors
and on the outside OF the building black
Grape was used and many of the students
when they entered school this morning
wore Grape on their arms. Nothing has
stirred the city so much as this affair and
the result is that the schools are "all shot
to pieces" One Of the local papers ad-
vocates that the superintendent the prin-
cipal and the entire board resign, call
| special election and attempt to settle the
matter.

Pu1EIe for railway Commission.

The State Railway commission will
shortly ask Attorney General Thompson
for an opinion as to whether a rate put In
now by the commission will operate in
any way to prevent the reduction pro-
vided for by the maximum freight rate
law enacted by the legislature and the
per cent reduction in express charges pro-
vided for by the legislative body. The
commission has an idea that the rate Il
puts into effect will prevent the operation
OF the two laws. This matter was brought
to the attention OF the rate making body
yesterday afternoon. when representatives
Of the express companies demanded that a
rate be fixed at that session OF the com
mission. One Of the men said he had
come all the way from New York 20 attend
the meeting because the notification he
had received specified that rates were
made on that day. The commission, how
ever was not ready 70 act and postponed
making the schedule OF rates. with the
result that probably second hearing will
have to be given the express men as well
as railroad men. In the meantime the
commission wants TO know just where IL
stands when 1t comes to making rate
before the maximum freight rate law goes
into effect. The trouble all arises over the
fact the maximum freight rate law did not
carry the emergency clause and Is not
operative until July 4

Greater Need of the
Gospel

Methodist ministers turned out in large
numbers yesterday morning at the week.
ly ministers meeting to greet Bishop j.
w. Hamilton, the Methodist bishop for
California.
Since Bishop Hamilton was last in Los
Angeles he has been seriously i'll and his
life was despaired of several times, and
1t was in the nature of welcome back
from his illness that the ministers fiocked
about the well beloved bishop yesterday.
Bishop Hamilton made an address with
all his old time vigor and strength. He
told the ministers that the whole nation
was on tiptoe for the next thing and
that there was a greater opportunity to
preach the gospel now than ever before.
He also said that there was greater need
of the Christian preachers to be active
citizens.
81 come back from my experience SO
near the next world and after lowering
near unto death 1 find there is not time
to waste-not a moment. Attend to your
business and you will find plenty to do,"
said the bishop.
The paper of the morning was read by
Rev ]. w. Blackstone of Prospect Park.
1t was a synopsis of the book, "The Fact
of Christ" by Simpson, and was much
enjoyed by the ministers yesterday.

That word has caused great many

the name of patrolman has been con-

That Patrolman w. l.. Stevens, one OF
the negro members of the force, has
frequently invited brother officers to be
his guests at rich repasts at his home
lately These invitations have been ac-
cepted. and at each meal chicken was
served.
Where do you get these tender young
chickens, Stevens?' asked one of the
guests, more curious than the others. Il
didn't know you kept chickens"
"Oh, have EN-" was the response and
the questioner received no further in
formation.
Several nights ago Stevens left his beat
when his time for work was up and
walked toward his home. On his way
he dropped into an all-night restaurant
for a cup of coffee.
What have you got in the package.
Steve?" asked the waiter, pointing to a
package the patrolman had under his
arm.
"Kwak. kwak' cackled a healthy look

City Attorney Loucks of Pomona At
tackled by Corporation Counsel in
Trial of Appeal Before
Judge WelIborn

Judge Olin Wellborn yesterday heard
arguments by attorneys in the United
States district court in the case of the
Sunset Telephone company against the
city of Pomona, concerning the right of
the corporation to put up poles and run
its lines within the city limits.
The morning session was stormy, be-
cause OF vicious attacks made upon City
Attorney Loucks of Pomona by the cor
poration council.
Pomona's city council passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting the telephone company
from construction work. The Sunset
company put poles up, on the ground
that the company did not have to ask the
people for a franchise, claiming that the
company has a perpetual franchise"
from the state which gives 1t the right to
establish pole and wire lines in the streets
and alleys of all cities and towns in CAL
ifornia
The Sunset company asks the court for
an injunction restraining the city of Po-
mona from insisting on the company's
first getting a franchise before 1t can do
work.
