Head JanitOr
Writes to Whittier
Complaint Of Commercial Club Secre-
tary of Lincoln Answered by
State House Employe.
From a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. May 5-(special)-s. Billiard
head janitor OF the state house, has an
swered the letter Of Secretary Written
Of the Commercial club who wrote Gov
ernor shanenberger, requesting that the
state house grounds be kept in better con-
dition, in order TO assist the city in MAX
ing a Lincoln beautiful"
Mr.. Billiard took charge Of the state
house grounds at time when the demo-
pops were Just letting loose and he has
conserved the lawn from the horses and
cows, which the old pop officers use to
Craze on it, until now the park around
the building is the only real public show
park in Lincoln. Where the old officers
use to cut hay. Mr.. Billiard now has beau
tiful flower beds and fancy trees, where
many an old cottonwood stood. So he was
very indignant at the unjust insinuation
carried in the Written letter. Mr. Billiards
letter is follows:
Your letter to the governor, In which
you complain Of the rubbish on the state
house grounds has just been called TO my
attention.
In reply ! beg to thank you for your
interest in keeping these grounds In good
shape for II augurs that in time you will
be able to notice the dirty condition in
front Of the auditorium, which ] under
J.
will prevent the collection of disease breed
ing filth in that very prominent part OF
the city.
1t is true that there has been a pile of
brush or perhaps more on these grounds
at various times, inRsmuch as we have
to pile this rubbish until we are able 10
| collect a wagon load to haul off
/ We Janitors work about sixteen to eigh-
! teen hours day and If you would have the
! city OF Lincoln construct electric lights al
! the corners of the grounds as promised
We would be able to work longer hours
and thus keep the grounds cleaner. And II
| you would see to il that the people OF
/ Lincoln refrain from throwing their whs-
| key and beer bottles on the capitol grounds
| il would save us much time, as we usually
/ have to devote a good portion of the
morning to collecting these bottles
In conclusion ] simply desire to say, that
| II you will attend to the business for which
/ you were employed, and In addition cal
the attention of the city authorities to the
I conditions prevalent in the business par
| Of town and the streets. you will have
/ less time to complain of the work of an ole
soldier, who with his assistants have the
| best kept public lawn in the city.

From q sal Correspondent.


LINCOLN, May 5.-CSpecial)-The Elec-

today, took exceptions 10 the statement Of
Mayor Love, who. in his welcome address
said that the city owned the water plant
here and had netted the city some $50 900
in addition 10 furnishing water TO consum-
ers at Is cents per LOCO gallons and the
city for nothing
Mr.. SCOUT OF the Kearney Water and
Electric Power company was appointed a
committee to investigate the report OF the
city auditor Of Lincoln and give his ana
lysis TO the convention. MI Scouts report
showed that instead Of showing net reve-
nue. the plant was actually run at a loss
Of 5000.
The analysis Of Mr.. Scout is based on the
contention that the city auditors report
overlooks charges and losses such as arise
from taxes, hreakage and the like

Change Rule.

LINCOLN. May 5.-(Special)-1f 400 uni
versity students have anything to say IN
the election Of members for the athletic
board. alumni members will not be allowed
10 cast their ballots on next Monday.

nent students Interested in the athletic
board fight started petitions to the uni
versity senate TO revoke Rule 3, providing
for the election OF student members TO the
athletic board. and which permits alumni
to vote BY noon 1t was estimated that
fully two-thirds Of the men attending the
state university had signed the petition.

but found the students favorably inclined
as considerable criticism was aroused last
year when large numbers Of graduates were
rushed to the voting place in automobiles
to defeat Dr. r. L. Clspp, who, II was as
serted. had five candidates for membership
on the board The petition states that the
undersigned students believe that the &C
tive members Of the university are better
qualified than the alumni TO choose mem
bers for the athletic board. Ii petitions
the senate TO revoke the ruling and permit
only those registered in the university to
vote at the election.
Despite the apparent lack OF interest
among the students, there is q strong IN
dercurrent Of feeling among the voters,
and il is predicted that an unusually large
vote will be cast on next Monday. Secret
| meetings are being held and charges made
that as usual, a slate is being pushed for
election Theta M Epsilon, an orgBniza-
/ ton which generally comes in for consid-
/ cradle criticism during the election, Is ad-
mitted to be excluded this year, and the
winners must rely upon personal popular
