SILVER. SERVICE WITH PICTURE
=. OF JEFF DAVIS Is SENT SOUTH
Gift of state of Mississippi to Battle
ship Contains Sixty-Three Pieces
and Costs $1,000.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16-Carefully
packed and under close guard the magnlfi-
cient silver service for the United States
battleship Mississippi was shipped from
this city today to Meridian, Miss. The
service, which was made By a Philadelphia
jewelry house. was on public view in the
art gallery of the company all this week.
1t will be placed Oh exhibition in Meridian
on Monday for a week and will then be
taken to Jackson for public view, after
which 1t will be transferred to Pascagoula,
where on June l it will be presented to the
big battleship.
More than the usual interest was sat-
tached to the service whine on view be-
cause of the criticism relative to the en-
craving Of the portrait of jefferson Davis
on one of the larger pieces Of the set.
The service contains 50 pieces, weighs
about $500 ounces and cost $500. The
punch bowl has engraved on one side a
picture tof the battleship Mississippi, which
was launched in Philadelphia in 1905. and
on the opposite side a picture of The old
L. s. s. Mississippi, also built in Phila-
delphia in 1871 and sunk by Confed-
crate batteries in the civil war. Admiral
Dewel was executive officer Of the ship
when destroyed. Mrs. Eunice Miller Lock-
wood. of Crystal Springs, Miss, whose
father was commander of the old Mis-
sissippi was instrumental in raising the
funds for the silver service of the new
Mississippi and will formally turn it over
to the governor of Mississippi.

How to Combat
Deceit in Pupils
Best Method of Combating Dishon.
= esty in Scholars Discussed by
Schoolmasters.

About twenty teachers in Omaha. South
and Council Bluffs attended the
second meeting of the TRICKY SCHOOL,
masters club Saturday at the Young Mems
Christian association building. The meet
ing was held during the noon hour and
after an Informal luncheon the school men
entered into a discussion of school meth
DDS, the discussion being led by Superin-
tendent Graham of the South Omaha
schools in the absence of superintendent
Davidson Of the Omaha schools.
The best method of combating dishon-
esty among students" was the leading topic
Of discussion, and the supefintendents and
principals told of their experiences with
boys who persisted in writing facts on
their shirt cuffs prior to an examination
and OF girls who thought 1t no harm to
forge AN excuse for absence from school.
There. is no set rule to prohibit the stu
dents from practicing this form Of dis
honesty, and the school men merely dis
cnssed the best method of showing the boys
and. girls under their charge tina it is Just
as wrong to steel a higher mark in an ex-
animation than what they are entitled to
as to steal money from a bank, or to forge
excuse for absence as to forge fhe
name OF another to a document of value.

DISCUSS PAY OF FIREMEN.
BUT PUZZLE YET UNSOLVED
Captains of Companies Meet Commits
siOners. and Decide to Await
Opinion by CITY Attorney.

Captains of the several fire companies
Commissioners Friday afternoon for a con-
ference on the increased pay which the
Legislature through the new charter granted
the men, without increasing the depart
ment appropriation. The conference lasted
an hour, but was without result.
Action was deferred until Monday night
when the city attorney will present an
opinion as to the legality of waivers Of
increased pay in the event the men should
sign sucn waivers. The commissioners
fear that the waivers might not be legal
and that later on the men If they should
so decide. might be able to go to court and
secure judgment against the city for the
increased pay withheld.
Comptroller Lobeck and Councilman
Funkhouse of the finance committee met
with the commissioner and presented fig
ures showing that IL the full pay of all
men on the fire and police departments
was paid there would be a shortage at the
end of the year of nearly $4,000. There
are 1872 men in the fire department and the
increased nay for these men would make
the department short $2O,297, even If the
taxes for the year were collected in full.
In the police department there would be a
shortage of about $37, 600.
In the event waivers are held to be lille
gal, it will be necessary to lay off a num-
Der Of men In both departments, but this
would cripple the service.
