THE PELTRET INQUIRY.
A Compromise Agreed Upon by the
School Directors.


The great Peltrel inve@tigation, of which
so much has been talked of in the Schoo oil
Department, was down on the books for
tonight at a special meeting Of the Board
of Education.
The board will meet according to sched-
ule, but the investigation Will not take
place.
At a meeting of the Classification Com
mittee yesterday afternoon the Peltret
case was considered. The session was
executive. and ON its conclusion a stale
ment was III ade that only routine business
had been transacted.
a CALL re porter learned. however. that
the Peitret case had practically been de-
cided. Up 10 yesterday Miss Peltret,
through her advisors, had clamnred for a
principal of the school to which Mis- Pei
tret had been attached and who brought
tile charges against her, also wanted an
investigation. a change, however. came
over the spirit of their dream. and coin
promise has been arranged.
The compromise to which both parties
have agreed is that the charges against
Miss Peltret be entirely dropped. There
Will now be nothing heavy hanging over
her head. The second part of the com
promise is that Miss Peltret be assigned to
the Emerson Primary. Miss Sallie Right
iHIle = oCHOUIs III tue western AUUiilOD.
A place in Miss Rightmire's school is
much coveted. as she is one of the most
popular principals in the department.
The dropping of the charges without in
vestigatton by the board will be a rebuke
to Mrs. Mann who brought them
AS one of the directors said: at Will be
a long while before Mrs. Mann will take
snap judgment again"
The board will also rebuke itself because
simply on hearing the charges it at once
suspended Miss Peltret without the least
examination or investigation.
The friends of Miss Peltret and her law
yers think this satisfaction enough for her,
especially as she will obtain such a good
berth.
At the meeting the following was read
and was signed by the directors present.
II will be presented at the special meeiin z
held Tonight:

WHY BLUM WAS ARRESTED.
His Bond in Portland Was Not Strong
Enough

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 5.-The arrest OF
Nathan Blum In San Francisco to-day was
because his bail bond was not deemed suffi-
clently strong. He was indicted by the
Grand Jury for smuggling opium and was
placed originally under $4,000 bonds. on
which we're the names OF Samuel Coulter,
Joseph Art0nelli and Seid0ack. the two
former for $1,000 and the latter for $1,000.
The District Attorney was satisfied with
the latter, buL not the others, and it was
deemed wise TO AXE stems at once to secure
additional bonds or have Blum rearrested
A bench warrant y as therefore issued yes
terday, and it vas declared tnat on giving
a bond of $1,000 satisfactory TO the magis-
trate before ~%om he might be brought he

iar&eQ.
At a meeting nf the board of directors of
the Mechanics Institute, held last night,
it was decided to authorize the expendi-
ture of about $4,000 for the purpose of re-
modelling the building on Post street. The
present space devoted to library purposes
is 80 limited In area that the directors find
that 1t is impossible 10 accommodate the
steadily increasing number of members.
The present floor space will be increased
by about half.
It WAS finally decided to postpone imme.
diate action in the matter of building the
proposed new library building adjoining
the Mechanics Pavilion. The members
thought that the present financial Outloo k
would not justify them in making an ex-
pendIture of SS00.000. the proposed cost of
the new building. The balance of the ses-
sion was taken up in the consideration of
routine business.
