Belonging
Per Cent

In the case of Saratoga school, at
the corner of Twenty-fourth and
Ames avenue, there are six rooms
of pupils who are being taken care
OF in three temporary frame an
nexes, until a suitable building can
be provided. The same condition
is true at the Lothrop school at the
corner of Twenty-fourth and Lo-
throp streets. The Mason school. at
Twenty-fourth and Mason, has been
forced for years to use two annexes
accommodating four classes, and
this year it was necessary to make
use of an additional annex for two
more overflow classes.
There is still need of additional
room at this building. There are
90 children in the kindergarten at
this building. The problem of room
for the pupils>is serious in IS ele-
mentary schools of Omaha and is
becoming so in nine others. At the
present time 2,102 children in the
lower classes are forced to attend
half day sessions, and l,247 children
are attending school In rooms where
the enrolment is so large that it
is necessary to use two teachers in
the same room at the same time,
which is, of course, a very unsat-
isfactory arrangement.
The elementary schools can be re-
lieyed in two ways; first, by build
ing several new elementary schools,
and second. by adopting junior
high school system which will take

and poorly ventilated and are, at

Favor Dismissal Of

William Coulter, policeman,
charged by Chief Of Police Eber-
stein with cowardice in connection
with the court house riot, Sunday,
September 28, will be exonerated
by the city council.
The city commissioners held an
executive session yesterday to con-
slider the evidence which was offered
at the hearing. Police Commissioner
Ringer and Acting Mayor IRE favor
Diminishing the officer from the de-
partment. Commissioners Butler,
Zimnlan, Falconer and Towl favor
dismissing the charges on account
of discrepancies of the evidence.
Formal action by the council con-
frming the decision of executive
session will be taken next Tuesday.
The complaint against Coulter
was filed upon information of
Charles E. Metzger, 1928 South
Twenty-fourth street, and Allen
Mactiar, 3706 South Twenty-third
street. These witnesses testified
that they overheard Coulter utter
words during the riot, indicating
that the policeman looked with ia
vor on the attack upon Mayor
Smith. The identification of Coul-
ter by Metzger and Mactiar was not
regarded as beyond reasonable
doubt by four of the city commits
sioners. Coulter denied all OF the
charges.

Of the elementary schools. Both

Should Replace Some.
Several buildings have served
their period of usefulness and
should be replaced. Saratoga, Wal
nut Hill and Farnam schools are
excellent examples of this type, al
though there are others which
might be placed in this class. These
schools should be replaced by
buildings of sufficient size to give
relief to overcrowded adjoining dis
tricts which would not be suffi-
GENTLY relieved by junior high
schools.
Four-room additions are needed
at Mason and Lake Schools, in adj
dition to relief which may be af-
forded by junior high schools. The
frame buildings at Benson Central,
Belvidere, Sherman, and Mime
Lusa should be replaced by modern
brick structures. This elementary
building program would, perhaps,
suffice for the next five or six years
if junior high school program
were carried on at the same time,
as provided by the building pro-
gram of the Board OF Education.
"A junior high school at Twenty
second and Chicago streets will re-
lieve the congested districts Of Ma
son, Central and Kellom. A junior
high school at Twenty-fourth and
Corby streets will help to relieve
Long, Lake, Lothrop and Druid
Hill. A junior high school in the
vicinity of Ames avenue will relieve
Saratoga and Miller Park. If an
addition is made to the South High
school it can be made large enough
to accommodate junior high school
for the South Omaha section east of
the tracks and it is proposed to build
a junior high school west of the
stock yards to accommodate the pu-
pills from Highland, West Side. Co.
lumbar and South Franklin.
"A careful survey of the high
school population of Omaha shows
that 80 per cent of the high school
pupils live in the district north of
Lake street and it is proposed to
erect a north high school to take
care of the pupils in the north part
of the city and relieve Central High
school.
There is no other way to get
these new school buildings except
through bond issue. If the voters
do not sanction this bond issue the

CHINESE ROMEO IN

Fathers Guard Taking Her to
China to Be
Married.

The west-bound Overland limited
which arrived in Omaha yesterday
morning carried an impatient young
passenger, the true lover Of WI Sac,
little Chinese girl who is returning
to Pekin to marry man she has
never seen.
The young man paced the plat
form at the Union station restless
ly, watch in hand. Pakengers on
the same train smiled sympathet-
ically as they watched him, for he
had told his story to several OF
them.
Flu Wing, for that is his name,
spoke perfect English. He was
dressed in a tweed suit and cap,
and, as he explained his predica-
ment to a reporter, he interspersed
his conversation with several good
American "damns."
Met in New York.
II have loved WI Sac since l
met her in New York" he said.
"She was different from other Chin
ese girls, and was attending Welles-
ley to become like you Americans.
We were to have been married when
l graduated from Columbia uni
versity. We had many wonderful
plans.
1--WE forgot that our parents had
not learned to be different as we
had. Her father, WI Sac. has
never left China He can't be
blamed for expecting her to marry
the man he chooses for her. 1t is
the custom. He is q very rich man
and is used to having his own way.
But she shall not marry man
she doesn't love! This is America,
not China. If l can reach San Fran
cisco before she is forced to sail,
something can be done"
The young Chinaman paused and
smiled apologetically. II am talk

fairs" he unused, "but it is all /
can think about"

Chinese merchant. passed through
Omaha Wednesday bound for the
coast. She was guarded by an old
Chinaman, who had been sent to

her back. Her little maid, who was
accompanying her. declared that

student, more than any,
