With Superintendent.

Lincoln. March 6.--Miss Mar
garet Hall, teacher at the Industrial
School for Girls at Geneva, Neb.,
has lost her job. She was incon-
tinently fired" by Mrs. Clara Treat,
superintendent, when she refused to
resign on request, following an
argument over dining at the same
table at which negroid instructess
was seated.
The negro teacher, Miss Lucas,
had been brought to the school to
instruct the seven colored girls there
and although her pupils were segre-
gated she was permitted to eat with
The white teachers. Miss Hall, who
is of southern extraction, refused to
sit at the same table.
Mrs. Treat gave Miss Hall the
option of eating with Miss Lucas or
resigning and the white teacher
would do neither. Then the super
intendent dismissed her. Miss Hall
compelled Mrs. Treat to write out
the dismissal in pen and ink and
state the reasons therefor.
Miss Hall arrived in Lincoln this
evening and called on one of the
members of the state board of con-
troll, Clark Oberlies. Mr.. Oberlies
refused to take any action.
Miss Hall asserts she will either
be reinstated or will institute legal
proceedings against Mrs. Treat and
the county.

northwest gale, caused thousands of
dollars in damage Saturday before
the wind died down and the sun gave
promise of resumption of traffic,
temporarily demoralized throughout
the metropolitan district.
In addition to the water damage,
the wind, which at times was around
20 miles an hour, smashed in plate
glass windows, tore away signs,
awnings and all night long piled up
roaring surf, which wrecked water
front property, including much that
was being repaired as a result of the
storm tides of early February.
Ships Battling With Gale.
Ships were reported battling with
the gale, which tore town across the
Great Lakes and out to sea. Vessels
struggled northward from Cape Hat
teras in the face of storm which
extended past the Bay of Fundy to
the Grand Banks. Reports of steam
ships aground and collisions were
received at coast guard stations.
Two washouts, one at Wantagh

crept into the city.

Name New Boat "Cody' .

Washington, March 6.--(Special
Telegram. .)-Through the efforts of
Representative Frank Mondell, ma
iority floor leader of the house, the
shipping board finally agreed to
name one of the big 10,00O-ton steel
cargo carriers to be launched at the
Hog island shipyard the last of May
Cody" in honor of Buffalo Bill and
the Wyoming town which he found
ed. Mrs. Louise Cody, the colonels
wife, will christen the vessel.
Before affirmative action was
taken as to the name it was neces-
sary to induce the shipping board
to violate its rules against the NAM
ing of boats after individuals or
small towns. Mr.. Mondell insisted
that Colonel Cody was an interna-
tional figure, and with the help of
the millionaires Of the Rocky Noun
tain club the board finally capitu
lated.
1t is expected that big delega-
ton from Cody will attend the
launching, and as nearly all the sur
viving members of the Cody family
live in or near Philadelphia, already
plans are under way to make the oc-

concealed Disappointment
Among Democrats Work
ing to Negotiate Treaty.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased wirs.
Washington, March 6--President
Wilson regards as unnecessary any
further discussion of the treaty
reservations with democratic SEN
ators, inasmuch as he made his posi-
tions clear to Senator Glass at the
White House two weeks ago. This
was disclosed at the White House
today and was the only response to
Senator Hitchcock's letter, suggest
ing that the president receive Sem
ator Simmons, and discuss with him
the whole treaty situation as the
rank and file of senate democrats
saw it.
Democratic senators said that the
president clearly intends to stand to
the end upon the position he has as
sumed, but they disclosed the fact
that Senator Glass reported to them
on his return from his recent con-
ference with the president that he
believed Mr.. Wilson would accept
the reservation on article 10, which
was considered in the bipartisan
conference and would deposit rati-
fcation containing that reservation.
Situation Still Dark.
This was new light on the presi-
dents attitude, but in the opinion
of senators, it did not make the sit
uation any more hopeful as to rati-
fcation. 1t did not open way, they
thought, to putting all the responsi.
bility for defeat of the treaty upon
Senator Lodge and his supporters
and the Borah irreconcilables. e
When it became known in the
senate that word had gone out from
the White House that the president
considered a further conference
with his party unnecessary, Sem
ator Borah, on behalf of the ire
concilables gave notice that on
Monday he would move to proceed
to consideration of the reservation
article 10, thus bringing the whole
discussion to head without further
delay.
1T is now time that we come to
close grips upon the question Of
what we are going to do" said SEN
ator Borah. "Why not get rid Of
these, reservations upon which there
is controversy. Let US come to the
real point. We postponed the reser-
vation on article 10 the other day
to see if compromise could not be
worked out l did not object to
