ent at the meeting. Mr. Knehans read
the bill by sections, allowing each
member to suggest any change that
might be found advisable.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Otto kochtitzky suggested that a COM
mission be appointed for the revision
Of the assessment of real estate prop
erty in the city. He scored the meet
ng as ridiculous" "The time will
soon come when the city can derive
its revenue from the taxes on real es-
only" Mr.. Kochtitzky said. at ap-
pears absolutely ridiculous that the
business men of the city should call a
meeting to discuss at length the pet
ty' licenses from which the city can
derive a revenue"
The saloon license was passed up by
the Commercial Club. Only one men,
Der suggested that the amount be

Congregation Members De-
cided to Increase Teach
ling Staff.
RESOLUTION OPPOSING
PROHIBITION OF WINE
Say Amendment Will Make Use
For Sacramento Purposes
Impossible,

Prof. F. w. Niermann, who has been
the principal of the parochial school
of the Trinity Lutheran Church for
more than five years, will remain in
the Cape following the action taken by
the voting members of the congrega-
ton in the special meeting held last
night for the purpose of considering
the call rendered Prof. Niermann by
the board of the Bethlehem School in
st. Louis. Owing to the efficient work
accomplished by Prof. Hermann in
educating the children of the congre-
cation, it was decided to have him re-
tain his position in the Cape.
Another teacher will be added to the
staff Of the school. Mr.. Frazee, who
taught here for several months during
the past term of the school will be
given a permanent position as teacher
in the Trinity Parochial School. With
Miss Rose Niermann, daughter of the
principal of the school, the congrega-
ton will have three teachers to take
care of the children. More than 200
children attended the school during the
last term.
Prof. Niermann received a call to
the st. Louis school several weeks ago
shortly before the term was closed
He returned to the city last Monday
after attending the teachers college
in st. Louis to attend the special meet
ing and present his reason for desir-
ing to accept the change. Prof. Nier-
mann told the members that he want
ed to leave because of the heavy work
attached to his present position. This
being the only reason, the members of
the congregation voted to increase the
teaching staff.
Prof. Niermann has been principal
of the Trinity Parochial School for
five terms, and has proved very eff
cient educator. For that reason the
congregation made every effort to re-
tain the teacher, and the members were
willing to grant the request implied by
Prof. Niermann's reason for accepting
the call to st. Louis.
A resolution opposing the prohibit
ton of wine as provided in the food
bill now pending in Congress was
adopted by the members of the Trim
lty Lutheran Church at special meet
ing last night. A copy of the resolu-
ton will be sent to Senators James
Reed and William Stone and Congress
man Joseph Russell asking them to
oppose the adoption of the amendment
which would prohibit the shipping of
wine. ia k.s3t@E
The members agreed that the bill
would impair, and eventually make i'm
possible, the administering of wine for
sacramento purposes at the services
in the church. This objection to the
bill has been raised by many hierachs
of the Catholic Church.
