MIR. Bottles EXPLANATIONS!
NOT REGARDED AS SATISFACTORY BY
PEOPLE WHO KNOW

LOUIS T.. MILLER MAKES SOME PERTINENT COn-
MENTs on THE REMARKS OF PADDY
DIVERS FRIEND.
The foundering efforts Of Hermann Bolte TO ex-
plain his doings school trustee in the Fourth
Ward and the time Police Justice are
serving far different purpose than that which he
fondly thinks. Instead Of explaining away his hold
Ing Offices. his talk is only getting him deeper
and deeper into the mire. In recent published in
tervew said We do not allow politics to inter-
fere with school matters in the Fourth Ward and
I'll take my oath that Police Justice Diver has not
been allowed TO NEEDLE with the schools" To make
the statement even more inconsistent with the facts
in the case. he said: II have worked hard TO keep
political influence of the schools and that is well
known in the ward"
These remarkable statements OF the double Office
holder have been cut OFT of the newspapers In large
numbers. and being widely circulated among
the teachers and good citizens of the Fourth Ward
The more the statements are read and pondered
over the broader IL the smile that is visible on the
countenance of every in that school district
VINO knows anything about the Vaccinations OK
Bo:e and Diver
The statements have been received with very
much Of tina; expansion of the rsibe muscles that
experienced throughout the city when Colonel
Fellows made his celebrated remark that he was

Mr. Bolte there are many peope living In the

He said 10 a Tribune reporter yesterday: Never
has a Tammany heeler betrayed the weakness OF
his alma mater than has been done In the case OF

LrDICROCS EXCUSES.
THE excuses Of Mr. Bolte are ludlcrous Tho
question Of attendance at the Greek School is not
at issue. 1t not question whether there were
pupils enough warrant the appointment OF two
teachers Il simply question Of what two
teachers should have been appointed. While we
viii compel Mr. Bolte prove. only to his sat-
sfacton but also the satisfaction OF some other
people how he can hold his present two oihceS
without coming into conflict with the provisions OF
the Consolidation act. we also are prepared 10 FUR
