Two Salaries at Once,
How Prof, Acktrman Worked MuI-
tnomah County.
County Superintendent and Principal at
the Same Time.

In the Oregonian September %, 1894
thescommittee OF one hundred reports
through its sub committee OF which
Thomas n, Strong was chairman, the
following in regard to Mr.. J. II. Ack-
erman now the candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for superintendent of
pulic instruction, This paragraph
was at the close OF its report on the
American Book Company, which was
characterized as an unscrupulous
and even Infamous organization, and
whose manager in Oregon ar. L. Ed
wards, was charged with bribery
charge which he never undertook to
disprove.
The paragraph relating to the Re.
publican nominee is as follows:
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT we
informed you in our last report, J. II.
Ackerman, the county superintend-
ent, was appointed principal Of the
Harrison street public school, giving
mp, apparently, a larger salary for a
less one. The motive for this move
still remains a good deal of a mystery
to US. 1t was suggested by witnesses
before US that the original plan was
to appoint one Of the present school
directors deputy county superintend.
ent. II this arrangement was ever
contemplated the publicity given to
the recent changes has compelled its
abandonment. For some time it was
understood, and, we believe upon the
authority Of Mr.. Ackerman himself,
1t was announced that he was to re-
sign the county superintendency ,Iur-
on taking charge Of the school. The
appointment OF his successor would
then be 10 the county court. An &C.
tive canvass for the Office naturally
co nmenced, and t. II. Crawford and
+. e. Young appeared to be leading
candidates for the prospectively va
cant tsoff1ce. Then another change oc-
cured, and nothing more was heard a.
the proposed resignation. but Nj.
Ackerman appointed q. W. Ganten-
bein, a young practicing lawyer of
this city deputy county school super
intendent, retaining in himself both
OF the Offices OF county superintend-
ent and principal.
at is apparent that no one Gao
perform both duties, or in honesty to
the pu bic, draw both salaries; and
we regret that Mr. Ackerman has al
lowed himself to be placed In such
an equivocal position. II, however,
our surmise that the American Book
company is In control of our school
machine is correct, Mr.. Ackerman's
action is very intellIgible. The
county superintendent is one OF the
officers charged with the selection OF
public school books for the state for
the ensuing six years. Had Mr.,
Ackerman resigned the position OF
county superintendent 1t Might 'haye |
been filled with someone not in per-
soma grata to the American boob |
Company.
Respectfully submitted.

A jersey City Detective, Hunting for Burglars.
L. Shot At for q Crook.

In consequence OF the numerous burglaries
on Jersey City Heights in tho Seventh precinct.
Chief of Police Murphy has detailed several
detectives and an extra force of patrolmen TO
watch for the burglars. Detective Larkins and
Roundsman Craig were In Idaho avenue near
the Boulevard at . A. NJ. yesterday when they
saw a man turning from Stuyvesant avenue
into the Boulevard. and decided to overhaul
him. The man saw them and broke
into q run. The officers separated and
went through different streets to head Off
the fugitive. They missed him, but a milkman
told them that he had seen n man go into the
yard at the rear Of IL Thomas street. Fresh
footprints in the snow which led up to the rear
door of the house convinced the detectives that
they had their man quarried. Detective Lar
kins blew a shril call whistle. and in two or
three minutes Detectives Pearson and Nc
Nally and seven policemen in uniform re-
sponded.. The house was. surrounded. De.
knocked. No attention was paid at first and he
knocked again. Then q head was thrust out Of
a trst,stsry yU win Msn, and a mans voice asked.
I'm an officer" said Larkins. Come down
did not believe him, and closed the window.
About q minute aftcrward a window on tho
commanding tone. exclaimed: Get away from
there"

'If you amt Off that stoop in less than n min
ute III shoot your said the man Overwhelmingly.
Larkins didn't get of the stoop and the man
carried out his threat to shoot. He said after
ward that he fired in the mir, but Larkins insists
that the bullet whistled past his ear. The shot

pants of the house that the visitors were police
men and the door was opened. The house Is &C.
cupied by John r. Cooke. who lives on the first
floor. and Abraham Walton. who occupies tho
second floor. 1t was Walton who fired the shot.
Both men said that they took Detective Larkins
for n burglar. They were taken to the Mont
gomery street station and after making an ex-
PLANTATION were released.

Nora o'Connell, who was committed to Ludlow
Street Jail. on Jan. 8. because she could not pay
$3.50, tho balance duo on two lots in the an
nexed district, purchased at q foreclosure sale,
has been discharged by Justice Cohen of tho
Supreme Court. According to tho statements
Of Mrs. 0tConnell the case has been one Of great
hardship.
Mrs. O'Connell paid the auctioneer's fee OF
$50 and the referees foe OF s26 and expected
that her husband would furnish the $3.50 duo
on the lots. Her husband. Dennis p. O'Conneil,
was then in easy circumstances, as sho thought,
and was tho proprietor Of the Seneca House. on
tho Boston post road, In the annexed district.
About this time, however, foreclosure proceed
ings were brought against him and he wae left
penniless. Ho got a place as night Waterman at
$12 and took his family to live at Q Dover
street. The o'Connells have three children.
Nora. Emily and Ellen, whose ages run from IL
to 2 years.
OhConnell could not furnish the money owed
by his wife and proceedings were taken against
her by the summary method Of punishment for
contempt provided for in the statute. She was
duly found to be in contempt of court for not
paying tho $3.50. An order was issued for her
eiicsb uht w buOuiu phy LnO "onOy VIII III
terest from the date Of the sale and $40 costs Of
tho motion. The matter went up to the Appel
late Division Of the Supreme Court, whore the
case was decided against her and SIS more costa
were charged against her. Then she was ar
rested.
In moving for her discharge Mrs. O'Connell
said that longer Imprisonment would be futile.
as there was no chance OF her getting the
money, as all her husband made was needed for
his. family's support. She said that her arrest
had LEFT her children uncared for and her two.
year.old child was crying continuously for her.
IL she was kept longer from her children she
declared she would go crazy: In ordering her
discharge on condition that she assign her bid
on the property to the plaintiff Justice Cohen
said:
THE proofs show that the petitioner is a mar.
riei woman, the mother of three infant chill.
dren, the eldest of whom is but IL years and the
youn rest . years Of age. all of whom by reason
OF their tender years need her care; that she Is
poor, without any means whatever to enable
her to comply with the requirements of the
order adjudging her in contcmpt; that the only
property she NJ her husband now possess con-
sists of some household furniture, worth not to
exceed 800. and that the husband Is employed
at a salary Of $12 q week. which is not more
than sufficient for the support Of herself and
family. Under these circumstance It seems to
me that to continue the petitioners imprison-
ment would be useless"

Stock ExchanEe Governors Forbid Members to
send Out Continuous Quotations.

Stock Exchange Governers Forbid Members to
Send Ont Continuous Quotations.
The Governing Committee Of the New York
Stock Exchange. which is opposed to arbitrage
dealings between the local Exchange and the
Stock Exchanges of Boston and Philadelphia,
adopted o resolution yesterday ordering that
quotations shall not be sent out by members in q
continuous way from the floor of the Exchange.
BY the sending of quotations over long-distance
telephone wires running from the floor direct
to the floor of one Of the out.of.town
institutions the arbitrage, brokers have been
enabled to make profits by trading on vary
ing simultaneous quotations for the same
stock on the two Exchanges. At one time,
when the telephone instruments were ranged
around the wn1 of the board room, the nrbitrage
brokers used to signal to clerks at the telephones
the prices Of various stocks. That WIS stopped,
and later the Exchange authorities caused tho
telephones to DO grouped together behind booths
shut off from the main floor. The arbitrage
business, nevertheless has continued.
The Exchange authorities look upon the bust
ness as demoralizinR and tending to reduce tho
volume Of what they consider to be legitimate
business In stocks. 1t Is anticipated that any
broker found violating the new rule in order to
conduct arbitrage operations will be subjected
to severe discipline.
