LIPOWITZ HAS LEFT.
He is Reported to be Lying III in San
Francisco.
The Night school Temporarily Pro-
yided for-The Boy-Whipping
Inquiry Postponed.

School Directors Erlewine, Sherburn,
TUFTS, Harrison, Gardner. Chipman and
Payne assembled at Superintendent
Hart's office yesterday for the purpose OF
investigating the charges brought against
Max Lipowitz, the German teacher in the
Grammar and High Schools. Of beating
one of his boy pupils. There were present
also Miss Sarah j. Watson, Principal OF
the Sacramento Grammar School, and
and Misses Weeks and Sweeny, teachers
in that school, as witnesses to the affair.
Lipowitz, however, was not there, and
Superintendent Hart said he had not
been able to find him, although he had
been to his room, and had also inquired
of his friends, but none of them knew
where he was. Official notice OF the
charges, and of the proposed inquiry in
the premises had, however, been de-
posted in the Posoffice.
COULD NOT BE FOUND.
Mr.. Hart said further that Lipowitz
had assigned his salary warrant for
March to Charles HeiSen, and that the
latter had drawn the money due him. 1t
was his belief that the Professor had LETT
the city with the intention of not return
ing.
Director Gardner said he had been
called to attend Mr. Lipowitz, profession
ally, on Friday last, and found him in a
very nervous condition. He promised
TO return on the following evening, and
did SO, but the landlady said Lipowitz
had gone, and she did not know where.
DIR. Gardner said that while attending
Lipowitz on Friday the latter spoke OF
his trouble and said he intended sending
in his resignation. lie (Gardner) advised
him not to do so, but to face the music.
HE Is IN SAN FRANCISCO.
At this juncture DIR. Bruno entered the
board-room and informed the directors
that the missing teacher was in San Fran
cisco and very i'll, and asked the board to
postpone the investigation until LipOWlt2
should be sufficiently recovered to be
present.
The board deemed this the proper thing
10 do, and Superintendent Hart was in
structed to correspond with the absent
teacher, and to call q special meeting at
such time as the latter might be able to
attend.
THE NIGHT SCHOOL.
Chairman Erlewine thought some pro-
vision should be made to continue the
night school in the meantime, and other
Directors agreed with him.
Mr.. TUFTS moved that Superintendent
Hart be authorized to request j. w John
SON, of the Sutter Grammar School, to
take temporary charge of the night
school, and it was so ordered.
HAS PROBABLY RETIRED.
The impression prevails that Lipowit2
has no intention Of returning to the city:
but this is only conjecture. He has been
absent from duty for more than week,
and but few persons have been able to
find him. One of these was a RECORD
UNION reporter, who found him on Satur-
day last occupying a room over Charles
Heisen's saloon at Seventh and / streets.
His condition was such that he was un-
able to make a statement at that time con-
corning his trouble with the pupil re-
ferred TO.
OTHER MATTERS DISPOSED OF.
Mr.. Tufts brought up the matter OF
creating large assembly rooms in the
Seventh and q street, Thirteenth and g
street and Fourth and @ street SCHOOLS by
throwing several ciasS-rooms in each into
one room. He thought it desirable that
the work should be done, if at all, during
the short spring vacation. The cost would
be about $3.50.
After some discussion Mr.. Sherburn
moved that the Committee on Repairs be
Instructed To procure estimates for the
work and report at the next meeting OF
the board.
The motion was carried.
The matter of school picnic was
brought up, and at the request of Mr..
Sherburn, Chairman of the special com
mittee thereon, further time was granted.
There being no further business, the
board adjourned.
