tax in the city hall and they were rob-
bed in the schools by having their chill
dren taught frills rather than good COM
mon sense subjects. In regard to the
claim that petitions relating to the re-
tention of supervisors had been circu-
lated in the schools asking the teachers
to sign them, he said that in some in
stances they were returned for the third
time and then not signed by all the
| teachers. Many of those who signed did
so by reason of the fact that they were
| afraid to do otherwise. He believed
| that the present system was an injury
rather than a benefit to the children.
| The resolution was rejected by vote of
1911, President Norris not voting. He,
! it is said, is heartily in favor of the
plans as proposed in tie resolutions. A
vote was then taken on a motion to re-
| fer the matter to a special committee
and this was carried by vote of fifteen
| to twelve. The special committee is to-
consist Of Aldermen Dewell and Pickett
and three councilmen to be appointed.
This committee will hold a public hear

| Alderman Ryan then introduced a res
olution thanking Mayor Farnsworth,
Corporation Counsel Ely and Henry C.
Rowe for their efforts in securing the
guns which were put in place for the
defence of the city during the recent war
with Spain, and also asking them to use
| their influence in having the guns re-
main in their present positions The
resolution was adopted and it was Or
dered that a copy of the same be sent
to each one of the gentlemen named.
The matter of street sprinkling was
brought up by a resolution, but it was
referred to a special committee on
which Aldermen Chillingworth and
Ryan were appointed. The bid of the
New Haven Electric Light company for
$50 arc lights for the ensuing year was
accepted 1t was also voted to permit
the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad
company to construct a connecting
track at the corner of Church and
Chapel streets, also a turnout on Whal-
ley avenue. The report of the lamp
committee was accepted, A banquet

Relative to the matter of Brewster
street an opinion was received from the
corporation counsel to the effect that it

MEETING OF THE ALDERMEN
Continued from First Page.

the city were in favor of having super
visors. He was decidedly opposed to
the proposed plan as offered in the res
olution.
| Alderman Root was of the same opin-
ion and said that although he had not
investigated the matter to very great
extent he was heartily in favor of the
present system and said that if the SUI
pervisor was dismissed it would be a
backward step in the progress of the
city, and that teachers who had been
in the schools here would not be able
to secure places in other cities.
Alderman Chillingworth said that un"
der the present charter the matter
should have originated in the council
and not in the aldermen, and that it
must be heard before a committee be-
fore it could be considered by the board
of aldermen. He was opposed to the
resolution.
Alderman Ryan said that he was in
formed that Superintendent Kendall
was not so busy with his school duties
but that he had time to take a post
graduate course in Yale. He being a
member of the committee was in favor
OF the passage OIL the TeSOlullOn.
Aldermen Williams and Pickett said
that they were opposed to the resolu
ton. Alderman Hogan made forc-
BILE speech in favor of the passage of the
resolution, saying that he considered
that the matter was of great concern
to the residents and taxpayers He said
that he was of the opinion that super
vision should stop and that matters of
more Importance and advantage should
be taught than those which are at
tempted by the supervisors. He said:
MANY of the teachers are terrorized
by supervision by reason of the fact
that the supervisors sneak into the rooms
without warning and never do anything
but critcise" He suggested that the
principals be made the supervisors.
Alderman Pickett thought that super
visors were of importance by reason of
the fact that drawing, cooking and sew
ing were taught by the supervisors. He
said that four years ago the writing in
the schools was indeed disgraceful, but
that to-day it was splendid, and all be-
cause of the supervisors.
man Dewell said that some of the men
that spoke did not even know what was
said and that they had missed the point
entirely. There was less return from the
outlay than for anything else in the city.
The people Were robbed by the high

ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
Clever Couple Wanted i'm Bridgeport
Caught Here.

Carrie Mason and Edward Byrnes
were arrested at o'clock last night by
Patrolman Curran just as they were
about to board train for New York.
They were locked up on the charge of
theft of diamonds The arrest is con-
sidered a very important one by the
police, and it is thought that more
charges will soon be made against the
piar. The woman is about thirty years
old and the man about twenty-five
They were arrested on the complaint Of
Bridgeport merchants AS reported to
the police, the operation which caused
their arrest took place in the jewelry
store of Reed & Todd in Bridgeport
The woman went into the store and
asked to look at some lockets. She was
shown the same and then said that she
wanted diamond set in one of them.
After being shown a number of stones
she left the store without purchasing,
saying that she would return later.
When in the store the woman was no.
ticed to drop her handkerchief on the
showcase and shortly after leaving it
was discovered that a diamond stud
worth about 800 was missing, The po-
lice were at once informed and went to
work on the case. The pair were traced
to this city, but no trace of them could
be found here, although their baggage
was at the depot. Last night Patrol
man Curran was at the depot and when
the o'clock train came into the station
he noticed two people who answered
the description of the desired people
preparing to board the same. They
were placed under arrest and shortly
after identified by Detectives Cronan
and Arnold of Bridgeport, who had
traced the pair to this city.
When searched at police headquar-
ters the diamond was found in the shirt
front of the man, but nothing else of
value was found on either of them. The
plan of the pair was evidently for the
woman to secure the booty and then
turn it over to the man. The woman
was in the jewelry stores of S. H. Kir-
by, the S. Goodman company and S.
Silverthau & Co. yesterday afternoon,
but was not successful in securing any
thing. /

know if we meet with defeat it will
be charged up to the chairman. If
we win the candidates will say we
did it,"
F. G. Lyttle was elected vice
chairman; Scott Kenfield, secretary

SUB-STATI0N.
Congressman Dick Asks For One In
South Akron.

Congressman Chas. F. Dick called
at the treasury department. at Wash
ington, Friday, to secure improved
mail facilities and service for South
Akron. 1t is said that he asked that
a postoffice be located in that neigh
borhOod.
The treasury department will refer
the matter to the division inspector,
and within week or two it is ex-
pected that a government official
will be sent here to inspect the To-
cality in question.
If a postoffice is not built, it is
quite likely that some improve
ments will be made in the South
Akron mail service, either by the es-
tablishment of a station or putting
on of more carriers in that section Of
the city.
