NO HELP FROM Mr.. CARNEGIE
Request Of Omaha Library Board for
Quarter Million Declined.
SUGGESTS BRANCH STATIONS
Present Building Considered made
quate for oity-President Halter
Wants 100000 Appropriation
for Addition 20 Structure.

Andrew Carnegie, philanthropist and
doner Of public libraries, has, for the time
being at least, declined to grant the re-
quest Of Omaha for a S25O,O0O building and
suggests what Omaha needs is branch
Libraries rather than a new central build
ing. In a communication received yester-
day by F. L. Halter, president OF the board
Of directors Of the Omaha Public library,
James Bertram, private secretary to Mr..
Carnegie, vouches the Information that the
steel king could not think Of replacing the
present building.
Mr. Betram's letter TO Mr.. Halter. dated
New York, November %, reads as follows:
Yours of November / received. Mr..
Carnegie could not think Of replacing the
library building you now have and thinks
It would be a great mistake to do so.
What you need is branch libraries to sup
plement the present building"
Original Request Increased.
The original request to Mr.. Carnegie,
made by Mr.. Halter on behalf Of the
library board, was that the sum Of 1850, 600
be granted Omaha for the purpose of erect
Ing a new central library to replace the
present institution, which 1t was desired
to turn into a museum and art gallery.
Later this request was increased to $500, %
coo, Mr. Haller pointing out to Mr.. Car
negie in several communication that fully
this amount would be required to erect
such a structure as proposed.
Although he suggests branch libraries.
Mr.. Carnegie gives no intimation Of will
lngncss to contribute towards such. q
as the voters at the November
election turned down the proposed bond
Issue Of $4,000 to provide a site for the
proposed new library, the library board
feels 1t has done all It can in the matter
for the present. It was the consensus OF
opinion that the present library building
is far too overcrowded and inadequate for
the needs of the city. 1t was suggested
that President Haller write Mr.. Carnegie.
explaining thoroughly what Omaha re-
quires, pointing out that at this time a
new central library would, in the opinion
Of the board, be more desirable than ona
or several branches scattered throughout
the city.
Mr.. Haller suggested that the library
board ask the voters to appropriate 800
600 to be used in cor structing an addition
to the present library, which, he believed,
would satisfy the needs for a number OF
years to come, but no action along this
line was taken.
Miss Edith Tobltt, librarian, expressed
herself as favoring branch libraries, espe-
clally one at Twenty-fourth and Ames ave-
nue.. In this opinion, however, the board
%dissented. 1t was finally suggested by Mr..
Haller that II any portion Of the ely de-
sired a branch library the residents OF
that portion of Omaha be required to pro-
vide a suitable site for the same.

THE ORDER OF TAFT MARTYRS.
Washington's Debonair Chief of Pollce
Organized the First Chapter.

The Order of Taft Martyrs is the
latest, says a Washington correspond
ent. Anyone who ever suffered any
indignity, ignominy or abrasion of the
skin on William Howard Taft's &C,
count is eligible to membership. Maj.
Sylvester, Washington's debonair pc
lice chief, will organize the first chap,
ter and accept the presidency, If 1t
should be offered. When Judge Taft
was here Maj. Sylvester visited with
him for an hour or so the other day,
and told him how it happened. 1t was
on the night of his nomination by the
Chicago convention The University
club of the city had determined upon
a celebration of the event Maj Syl.
vester was placed in charge of the ar
rangements at Judge Taft's K street
home. Everything moved along in
app1e-pie order until the people got
over-enthusiastic. Speeches had been
made, and Judge Taft was replying.
The Well-dressed gentleman with the
ing cane as big as fence rail, be.
gan to indulge himself in wild ap-
plause. He brandished his walking
stick joyously and brought it down
with crash on the inoffensive crani.
UNI of the major Sylvester was al
most stunned by the blow. A lump as
large as an apple formed on his
classic forehead. At that instant the
Order Of Taft Martyrs was born. Judge
Taft enjoyed the recital, interspersed
as it was with some of Maj. Sylves-
ter's choicest bits of humor. IF there
is anything can do to alleviate your
distress, count on me-" said the presi.
dent-elect. Sylvester has sent for a
complete roster of consular appoint
ments. He is scanning the list.
