Glass
of Candidates
for High School
Principal Graft Greeted by Hundred
and twenty-five Pupils from
the Grades.

Principal Graft OF the High school was
most agreeably surprised Saturday morn
Ing when 1876 candidates for admission to
the High school met him in response to
his call. This number is surprisingly large,
being about 90 per cent of the pupils who
are to graduate from the grades at this
time.
This large class is taken as an evidence
OF the wisdom OF Superintendent David.
sons argument for two graduatlons a year
In the High school. With such a class
going In at this time every year, It Is
argued, the pupils comprising IL would
have az much interest and pride in looking
forward to their own special time of grad
uation as do the pupils who are to graduate
at the long fixed date in midsummer. 1t
is expected that when the school board
learns Of the large percentage OF pupils
entering High school at this time the prop
osition OF the superintendent Of schools
will be given very serious consideration.
Mr.. Davidson is wearing a smile that can
not be rubbed off for some time, because
when he outlined the new plan in The
Bee Friday he had no means Of knowing
that the candidates for High school this
year would be any more numerous than
In the past. He feels, too, that II the
double graduation plan were in operation
a much larger per cent Of eligible pupils
would go into High school after the mid
winter examination.

ASK PARK HEDGE CUT AWAY
Captain Palmer, Judge Munger. and
others Make Request of
the Board.

Captain Palmer, Judge Munger and
others living in the vicinity of the west
boundary OF Hanscom park have pre-
ferred a request to the Park board to cut
away the hedge now existing along the
west side Of the park, They urge that to
cut away the hedge would be an improve
ment and also that 1t would abolish a con
venient hiding place for hoodlums, who
sometimes hide about the hedge and bother
women and children. Some other residents
about the park want the board to remove
the greenhouse from its present location,
or the ground that 1t Is a drawback to
their property for residence purposes.
The members of the Park board are not
inclined to look with much favor on either
Of the requests. The hedge they consider
very requisite as giving a finish to that
of the park, and-they doubt IL the
greenhouse could be located anywhere in
the park that would be more satisfactory
than its present site.

TRYING TO RAISE COASTFARE
Passenger Agents in Chicago May
Tack on $3.50 to Ticket.
LOCKED NOW IN DISAGREEMENT
ChicasO-MissOuri Roads Think They
Are Not Getting Large Enough
Revenues Out of This
Traffic..

William II. Murray and w. S. BasingeP,
assistant general passenger agents for the
Union Pacific railroad, are detained In
Chicago because OF the disa greement OF the
Transcontinental Passenger association
over summer rates.
Considerable difference OF opinion has
arisen over rates between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. The railroad managers be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river de-
sire to obtain more revenue from their
tickets, and, with this end in view, are
fighting to increase the rate TO the Pacific
coast approximately $3.50. This would
make the round trip tourist rate from Chi
.cago to the Pacific coast SIS.
On the colonist rate schedule the rail-
roads have reached an agreement. The
rate of 1909 will be retained, which is SIS
from Omaha and 500 from Chicago to all
points on the Pacific coast.
Convention rates were discussed Friday,
and. although no agreement was reached,
1t is thought the rates of 1909 will be de-
clared in effect.
Announcements by the railroads will be
made within a few weeks of all special
rates, o%olonist, tourist, convention and
homeseekers. Dates OF sale for home
seekers tickets, colonist and tourist rates
will probably be the same as last year
with a three months limit on all tourist
rates.

WAR On POSTAL SAVINGS
Campaign Of Education Conducted by
American Bankers Association.
WEST Is ASKED TO FIGHT BILL
Rendy-MRde Petitions 60 Congress
Opposing the scheme Are sent
out, but Get Small Conn
fort in Omaha.

Banks and loan associations Of Omaha
have received circulars from the committee
on postal savings banks Of the American
Bankers association stating that the COM
mittee had decided that in view OF prob
able legislation this winter the campaign
Of. education against postal savings banks
should be considered and that some active
personal work should be done,
Enclosed also were two petitions on
which the bankers are asked to secure sig
natures, one to be sent to one OF the Ne
braska senator's and the other to the rep
resentative in the house. The committee
asks that the petitions be signed by the
directors and stockholders Of the banks
and savings associations and by prominent
business men.
The petition says: Believing that a
postal savings bank system would prove
detrimental to the best business interests
Of this community and Of the country at
large, the undersigned respectfully urge
that you oppose any legislation for the es-
Enlistment Of postal savings banks"
The committee encloses a circular giving
figures on the savings deposits in the
United States as reported by the comp
troller OF currency for 1903 and also as re-
ported by the National Monetary commits
sion. II Is estimated that the banked saw
ings deposits OF this country amount to
5000, 100000. or SIS per capita.
Pennsylvania has the most banks with
liza and Iowa is second with 1907. Ne
braska has 7S1, which is more than such
states as California and Indiana. and is
Z only surpassed by Iowa, Illinois, Kansas,
minnesota, Missouri, New York. Ohio and
Pennsylvania Nebraska has 6I,G73 savings
depositors with $24.177, 9O6 in savings de-
posits.
The circular says: You may be proud
3 Of such a showing, proving that our banks
are fully able to care for such amounts az
our wideawake and enterprising citizens
may be able to lay aside for a rainy day"
The matter was called to the attention
Of the directors of the Nebraska Savings
and Loan association at their meeting Fri
day, but the directors decided not to clrcu-
late the petition or to AXE any action on
icthe matter. They favor the postal saw
inss banks proposition. Other banks
have received their circulars, but none
had acted on the matter.
Country banks are getting a little ex-
cited over this matter" said the president
of one OF the banks. TT republican party
is pledged to consider the matter, and any
opposition will be credited to the banking
interests anyway. I don't think we will
take any action on the question"

SERUM SUCCESSFUL
New Method of Treating Spinal Men
nights Raises First Patient.
INITIAL TRIAL IN THIS STATE
Mrs. Earl ComstOck of FOrty-Eighth
and Pratt Streets First Person i'm
Nebraska to he Cured by
New System.

For the first time In Nebraska q suf-
ferer from spinal meningitis has been
treated by serum injection with the result
that the patient has now practically re-
coversd. d..
Mrs. Earl Comstock of Forty-eighth and
Pratt streets is this fret Nebraskan to
be treated with the rerum discovered by
DR.. Simon FIexner OF the Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research, the
treatment being administered at the Wise
Memorial hospital.
For a year and one-half a quantity of
this serum has been in the hands Of the
Omaha health department, but until this
case there has been no request for it.
Spinal meningitis generally results in
death, paralysis or at least deafness, and
that Mrs. Comstock escaped one or the
other of these fates because she was given
serum treatment is most likely.
She was taken suddenly i'll a week ago
Monday and became rapidly unconscious.
The diagnosis made by the first physician
who saw her was hysteria.
Mrs. Comstock continued unconscious
until Friday of the first week and then,
following a consultation Of physicians, her
illness was diagnosed as spinal meningitis
1t was decided to try the Flexner serum.
A puncture was made in the spinal column
and a quantity Of the serum injected.
The very first treatment aided the pa
tient, restoring her to consciousness
After that five more injections were
given, with the result that Mrs. Comstock
has recovered.
There has been a h%esitancy about em-
ploying the serum because Of the necessity
of puncturing the spinal column, but the
cure of Mrs. Comstock will have a de-
structive effect upon this hesitation,
Dr. XXI serum Is not a therapeu-
tic for polio myelitis. but the discoverer Of
the meningitis serum Is now engaged in
seeking one for the other dread disease.
