THE OFFICIAL AK.
Changes Made by the
Board of Education.
Clinton Objects to the Removal of
Competent Persons-The School
Children to Visit the Fair.

special meeting Of the Board of Educa-
ton was held last night at the request of
some of the members. for the purpose of
considering the propriety of making changes
in the School Department.
AS is usual in the beginning of term for
a new board many changes are made in the
department. and many competent employees
are thrown out of positions; as It was in
the case of f. b. Bullock, the bookkeeper
of the board, who was forced to tender his
resignation, which was read last night
After hearing the resignation Director
Clinton said that he thought that IL should
not be acted upon at once. but it should be
set aside until the next meeting as from
what he understood Bullock was a very
competent man and the resignation was not
sent in voluntarily. But Director Burke
made a motion, which was seconded, TO the
effect that Bulock's resignation be accepted.
Upon hearing Director Burke's motion,
DR.. CiIntOn gave vent to his feelings at the
way certain members of the board are act
inc. He said that he knew of certain mem
bers Of the board who had formed clique
for the pur pose Of ousting certain employees Of
the School Department and putting in their
places persons OF their own choice but he
(Dr. ClntOn) as a Nom Partisan, who was
sworn to do his best for the interests of the
public school children, would oppose the
action of those members not to the best
interests of the scholars. While DR.. Cln-
ton was talking point of order was raised
and sustained.
The following changes in the School De-
partment, recommended by the Classlf ca-
ton Committee. were adopted:
That c. c. Young be appointed assistant
teacher in the Boys High School; Carl
senschime, teacher of penmansaip in the

SAILORS SOLD BODILY.
Complaint From London of the
Port of San Francisco.
There Will Probably Be an Effort to
Cover the Matter by Special
Treaty.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The sixteenth annual
meeting Of the Chamber OF Shipping of the
United Kingdom commenced to-day.
Among the resolutions introduced was one
requesting that the Board Of Trade try to
secure a convention with the United States
Government and Great Britain TO stop
crimpng and 10 prevent the desertion of
British seamen in United States ports. IL
is complained that at San Francisco in par
ucuIar crimpng is carried on to an extent
most injurious to the British mercantile ma
rine. Boarding masters GO aboard the in
coming ships and tempt the men ashore,
where. ina certain class OF boarding houses,
the crews are kept and piled with liquor
After the vessel has been discharged and
the outward cargo taken in the boarding
house master boards the ship ana practi-
ealy sells the men back to the master at
an exorbitant charge.
Efforts. it Is stated have been made many
times during the past ten years to conclude
a convention against cgimping with the
Uuted States. and Chamberlain, when in
America, was almost successful in carrying
the convention through.
The resolution was brought forward By
the General Shipowners Society of London,
with the entire concurrence Of the British
Board Of Trade.

lie On the Speakers table tai tomorrow,
when, in the absence Of some special mo-
ton, il VIII be referred to the Committee

II is in order, however, for any member
TO make some motion that viii leave it with
the House to decide whether or not it will

tural Committee.
1t is probable the supporters Of the bill
will try 10 send it to conference early, in
order that it NAV be disposed of before the
an Of March. The members opposed to the
bill will contest every inch of ground and
have adol ted policy of delay.
