Building Basement for Rooms
Financial Reports and
Other Matters.

A social session Of the school board
1T which considerable important bust
ness was transacted. was held last
evening. All Of the members were
present except Trustee Martin, who
delephoned his regrets. The meeting
did not begin until 8 O'Clock but lasted
from that time till IL o'clock. During
the session the board wrestled with
problems Of finance. Of putting 1000
school children into rooms with a
seating capacity of $50, problems Of
architecture and other interesting
questions which are not on the HIST Of
questions which are asked at the ex-
animation of teachers.
The first matter occupying special
attention was the receipt of the
monthly report of Superintendent Sta
pleton, who states that there were 941
children in attendance at the schools
yesterday. He called attention to the
crowded condition of the buildings and
said that there are now more pupils
than can be accommodated. In the
Lincoln school there are from "a to 81
pupils In each room. In Miss MacDon-
aids room there are five or six pupils
without desks. What shall be done
when the promotions are made, which
win come In the course of events, in
about two weeks. together with a
horde of youngsters who will at that
time be ready to enter the primary
grades?
The alternatives suggested were
holding half day sessions with relays
of pupils and teachers for morning
and afternoon or renting rooms or fit
ting up two additional rooms in the
Prescott building basement. The hat
ter plan met with general approval as
the most economical and most practi-
cal. The matter was referred to the
building committee with instructions

STEW ARDS MAY RESIGN
Members of Gracs Church Divided
Over Their Pastor.
Failure of the Bishop to Return Rev.
Watson Case Widens the Breach.
Disappoint ment at Trinity.

The rcassignment of Washington pas
tors by Bishop Warren, of the Baltimore
conference, Will stir church circles deeply
in two tr three sections of the city. At
Grace Church, Ninth and Z streets North
west, il is expected that six OF the controii-
ing boa rd consisting OF the stewards and
trustees, will resign. They may also leave
the church. This is owing to the fact that
Rev. Watson Case, the present pastor, has
been sent 10 another field.
The fact that there was division
among the members OF this church was
stated in recent issue of The Evening
Times, as was also the fact that both
factions had appointed committees to wait
on the bishop ana Ia Y their respective claims
before hiin. The appointments showed that
that Official favored the opposition, and
hence the announcement OF the resignation
of Mr. Cases friends from the board. Mr..
Case has been assigned 10 Mount Washing
ton Church. Baltimore
Another church where there is much dis
appointment is old Trinity, on Fourth street
between South Carolina avenue and q
street southeast, founde in the first decade
of this century. Rev. NJ. Il. L. Rice and many
of his people counted certainly on his COM
ing back. When AIR. Rice met his successor,
Rev. q. ". Hobbs, in the corridor of Broad
way Church, Baltimore, yesterday, there
was 4 lively spat between them. The words
used were parliamentary, but not exactly
rratcrnal.

[HIRS7[D FOR HERbL00D
In Jail James Gray Determined
to Kill lis Sweetheart.
INTENDED TO DO IT SURE
Started to Hunt Her With Revolver
in His Pocket-Found Two Police
men in the House Instead of the

Was Only Out Four Hours.

James Gray, a tall yellow man, was
released from Jail yesterday, after serv-
ing eleven months and twenty nine days for
stealing Il bicycle.
He enjoyed just four hours OF freedom,
when he was again under lock and key
for attempting to murder Minnie James,
tail colored woman, who resides IN
Armory street southwest.
Gray was captured by Policemen Frank
R,ur and Smith Just in the nick of time.
Bat for their presence in the house of the
James woman last night Gray would no
doubt have been called On today TO face
the charge of murder.
Gray was in the dock of Judge Miller's
police court, charged with carrying con-
cealed wcapons-a loaded 9S-caliber re-
yolver-and threats against Minnie James.
The hearing of the case called forth from
his honor some strong comments upon the
inadequacy of the concealed weapons law.
RECEIVED 300 LETTERS.
1t was brought out in testimony that while
Gray was in Jail he received 800 letters
from the James woman. In the last epistle
she informed him that in the future, after
his relea Sc from prison, they must be
Upon receiving this letter Gray Informed a
fellow-convict that he intended to kill the
woman after his release. After leaving
the Jail about noon yesterday, Gray pro-
cured the revolver and called at the latter's
house, in Armory street, several times. She
was not home. but he announced TO the other
inmates his intention OF killing her.
His threats were communicated to Police
men Bauer and Smith, and they secreted
themselves in the house. Finally Gray came
with aloadedr revolver in his overcoat pocket.
There was a fierce struggle between Gray
and the patrolmen for the possession of the
pistol, md the Officers hai.to club Gray into
submission. Covered with blood, the des-
perate fellow was finally landed in No. 4
station.
In passing sentence upon Gray. Judge
Miller used some vigorous language.
WHAT THE JUDGE SAID.
at was an act of merciful Providence"
he said to the policemen. THAT you heard OF
this matter, and were in the wuinan's house
when the fellow arrived. Otherwise there
would have been a murder committed.
Here's the case of a desperate man invading
a house, armed with 3s-caliber revolver
for the avowed purpose OF killing this
woman. % rr--'-T
THE concealed weapons law should he
amended 70 cover such cases. Any person
who makes threats against another and
is captured with deadly weapons on his
person should 20 to the peniteDtary for u
long term. As it is under the law, only u
Jail sentence can be imposed. I regret cx-
ccedingly that 1 cannot extend this sen
tence.
The prisoner can furnish $1,000 real
estate bonds or go to jail for six months
in default in he threats case. For carry
ing concealed weapons he can go to jail
for six months, to take effect after the
first sent cDce."

After Mrs. Richcreet lad returned home
