RAISING THE WARRANTS
The Preliminary Examination of Leo d Q
Cordona Commenced Before
Judge Campbell.

The preliminary examination of Leo de
Cordona, bookkeeper in the Street Depart
ment, charged with raising the amounts
on demand warrants and passing bogus
warrants on the City Treasurer, was COM
menced befors Judge Campbell yesterday
afternoon.
The witnesses examined were Treasurer
Widber, Martin Keegan, Fred Smith,
broker; George Mitchell, John Garland,
chief deputy in the Street Department;
John Ryan, assistant clerk of the Board of
Supervisors, and William Crowley, fore
man for the Harbor Commissioners.
The particular charge heard was the
raising of a warrant in favor of William
Curley, laborer, from So to $28 on April
l. Ex-Judge Humphreys appeared for the
defendant and Prosecuting Attorney
Forbes conducted the prosecution.
From the evidence it was clearly estab-
lished that crime had been committed
but it had not been established that the
defendant was the person who committed
it. 1t will all depend upon whether ex-
pert testimony to be given to-day will
prove that the writing on the warrant rails
ing the amount is that of the defendant.
Several of the witnesses expressed their
belief that it was the handwriting of the
defendant, but it was deemed necessary to
call in experts.
The case will be continued at II 80 o'clock
this morning.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
James G. Kennedy Is Made
Principal of the Nor
NAL School.
RADICAL CHANGES PROPOSED
Term-The Haight-Street
SChoolhOuSe.

The Board of Education met yesterday
at noon to receive bids for desks and dis
cuss the building of the school on Haight
street, between Masonic and Central ave-
nues.
James G. Kennedy, principal of the
Franklin Grammar School, was elevated to
the principalship of the Normal School, to
succeed A. HI. Yoder, the young gentleman
who came out here from Boston to incul-
cate new ideas in the department. Had
Mr.. Yoder stopped here he would have
been all right, but when he presumed to
lncubate there was trouble. Yoder was
getting $3.50 month, but the salary of
Kennedy is yet to be fixed.
The following resolution regarding the
Normal School was passed:

SELLING POOLS OPENLY,
The Police Declare the Present
Law Inadequate to Stop
the Evil.
AN AMENDMENT ADVOCATED
All the Evidence Obtainable Was
Not Presented Against the
LaW-BreakerS.

The showing made in THE CALL yester-
day of the fragrant and open abuses of the
law restricting pool-selling to racetrack
inclosure has awakened good deal of in
terest among the authorities most con-
cerned in the enforcement of the law.
And the ella m is now made by the Police
Department that the existing law against
pool-selling outside the racetrack is mad
equate to the ingenuity of the booksellers,
who claim to have found a way to evade
the ordinance.
In pursuance to this complaint of the
police the Supervisors will soon be called
upon to amend the present ordinance in
such manner that, it is expected, there
will be no evasions possible under a fair
Interpretation of the law. John T. Dare,
prosecuting attorney in Police Court 1,
will probably draft the amendment. Mr..
Dare expressed the opinion yesterday that
the present law was sufficient. However,
if it is desired, he will draw up the amend
ment for presentation to the Board of
Supervisors.
81 can hardly say, offhand. Just how the
amendment should read but can suggest
its general trend" said Mr.. Dare. "For
instance, if section was inserted making
it unlawful for any firm to receive money,
ETC., either as a principal, agent, commits
sioner. or messenger, for the purpose pro-
scribed by the other sections of the law,
that, I think, would make the ordinance
proof against such men as Corbett and the
others, who claim now to be merely COM
mission men and messengers in the mat
ter"
The police are firmly of the opinion that
the present law is inadequate, and to cor
roborate their contention they point to the
following list of arrests made under the
provisions of the law since the first of the
year:

Professor Kennedy outlined last evening
his ideas concerning the Normal School,
the manner in which he believes it should
be conducted and the recommendations he
will make to the Board of Education. He
said:
"Of course whatever say will simply be
IN the line of recommendations. Every
thing depends upon the action of the
Board OF Education. The school at pres
ent has no course of study, and will not
have until one is prepared. | shall imme-
dlately proceed to prepare one and present
It to the Superintendent and the Board of
Education for their adoption. Until this
work is completed it will be impossible to
say just what the course of study in the
Normal School will be, but you can rest
assured that the Superintendent of Schools
and the Board of Education are in favor of
dong both thorough and practical work in
the school,
81 shall endeavor to make the school a
modern normal school, basing the profess
sional course upon practical child-study
psychology, history of education and the
methods of teaching as based upon the
law OF mental development. In addition
to broad professional course there will be
thorough review in the branches taught
In the public schools, so as to develop the
best method of teaching them.
Whether the school should be one or
two years course l am not prepared at
present to recommend. My recommenda-

No Blanks in this Competition


This ia q competition Of rather an unusual
nature 1t 10 common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risklng the loss Of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Companys offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
,nerely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing It, The srchitect whose com.
petitive plan for a club house on a certain
corner ia not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. But the
person who patents simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tltion, need not worry If he fail to secure the
prize He has q substantial result to show
for bis work-one that will command its val
ue In the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid Of the idea that an
Improvement can be too simple to be worth
patenting TIE simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol.

The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that Its stock Is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

Company, presented petition asking for
the privilege of suspending the street
lights, which the company will com
mence to furnish on the first OF next

Lawion said the brackets would be more
ornamental than the cables from which
the lights are suspended at present. He
moved that the company be allowed to
use brackets throughout the city.

should put up a bracket AS sample 10

Another large and Well Pleased
Crowd at the Tent show.
Election night for the first time since
opening the large tent of the Vivian de
Monte show was not crowded, but last
night, the political excitement having
subsidized and the rain clouds having dis

alike, but ever changing, and as tn ere is
different farce to close the entertain

a hearty laugh and new performance
every time.
Last night several new songs and
dances which have been in careful re-
hearsal were presented with great effect.
The audience was highly delighted and
