Boston is highly cultured, but there
are still many children there The re-
port of the committee on school ac-

dren in Boston are excluded from
school for lack of accommodation; that
there are 1924 pupils in hired rooms
and 2,002 pupils in halls and corridors
not intended for classroom purposes
And yet three new school buildings
have been completed the past year, and
eleven more are now in process of
erection, at an expense of nearly ST.
900. 000 In view of this state of things
the school committee feels warranted
in asking for authority to borrow and

wears, in order to provide school ac-
commodations for the rapidly increas-
ing number of pupils.

MAZET AND CROKER.
Tammany Chief siIenced the Legfs-
latiYe InGuisitOr.

latiye InQuisitOr.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3-Whatever expec-
tation there was that Richard Croker
would make a scene today before the as
sembly committee on the management of
this city was not fulfilled.
In the course of an address before a
political meeting, few days ago, Chair
man Mazet asserted in effect that when
the gas charter was introduced in the
legislature by himself, that measure be-
ing inimical to the New Amsterdam Gas
company, and, it is alleged, in the inter-
est Of the Consolidated Gas company Mr.
Croker proposed to withdraw his opposi-
ton to the bill If the Consolidated COM
pany would buy at his price stock of the
New Amsterdam company, which he held.
1t was to make denial of this state
ment that Mr.. Croker yesterday demand
ed a hearing before the committee
Mr.. Croker was at the committee room
early today. Before the proceedings were
begun the Republican members of the
committee and Counsel Moss had a pro-
tracted conference. Immediately on call
ing the committee to order, Chairman
Mazet asked:
''Is Mr.. Croker present?"
The Tammany chief responded: "I am
here, under oath, presume. and I want
to deny a statement which you made in
your campaign speeches in your district"
w Ae1l IL II IldI you want TO contra
dict?
Mr.. Croker-I want to contradict the
speeches that you have made in refer
ence to my dealings with the Console
dated Gas company, that I tried to sell
Amsterdam stock to that company. That
is what I understood you to say in your
speech. deny it now on the stand.
Mr.. Mazet-Is that all, Mr. Croker?
Mr.. Croker-That is ALL
Mr.. MaZet-You are excused.
Mr.. Croker-Win you take the stand
and testify to what you said?
Mr.. Mazet-Mr. Croker, you will please
step down from the stand.
Mr.. Croker then left the stand and the
room.
Subsequently Chairman Mazet gave out
the following statement:
Mr.. Croker knows that this is no place
and no time in which to settle the cues
ton between him and me. What I said
upon the stump, I said not of my own
knowledge, but upon good and sufficient
authority. If Mr.. Croker really wishes
to have the truth of my statement tested
he can sue for libel, or he can prosecute
me criminally by a friendly district at
torney. Here we cannot compel Mr.
Croker to. answer proper questions. or
compel any witness to testify on this mat
ter, as the question between us is not
relevant to this inquiry

WANTED HIS MONEY.
Bold Attempt Made to Hold Up n
Minneapolis Faro Game.


George Stark, of Wahpeton, N. D.,
last night made a daring attempt to re-
cover some Of the money lost In faro
game at 325 First avenue south, Minneap-
oils, at the point Of a revolver Stark
arrived in town a week ago from North
Dakota, where he had bean working as a
farm hand, and Immediately began to
buck the faro game, with rather poor
success. Last night he visited the First
avenue place, and after playing for a
time with varying luck, drew a gun, stood
off the dealer and rif1ed the cash drawer.
AS soon as he had all the money In the
drawer Stark started for the door, -four
ishtng his gun as he went. John Good
bar, the doorkeeper, saw him coming and
locked the door, so that Stark would be
obliged to go down the front stairs AS
soon as he passed the door Stark turned
for an instant and leveled his revolver at
the crowd and then started to run up to
Fourth street, turning on First avenue
end darting up the alley back Of the
Oneida block. Goodbar, Louis Wiley and
officer Gingras, who happened to be
there, started in pursuit up the alley, just
in time to see Stark disappear AS the
pursuers turned the corner Of the Guar
anty Loan building they saw Stark walk
Ing down Third street as coolly and calm
ly as If nothing had occurred. When
Oincer Glngras placed him under arrest
he submitted without any trouble, and
In less than five minutes after the hold
up had occurred Stark was in the lock-
up.
When searched the revolver and $295
was found on his person. Stark is about
thirty years Of age, and was dressed
with more care than the average farm
hand. When seen in his cell he said
that he was just SOLDERING up, and hard
~ realized what he had done, but that it
was all right anyway, as he had been los
ing his summers earnings there for the
last seven years, and he thought that he
would take a long shot for his money"
as he considered he needed it worse than
those who had 1t.

Council the Facts.


Council the Facts.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Times, in an
editorial on the report of the Philippine
commission, says:
''In proportion as America assumes
proprietorship beyond the original limits
of her territory 1t will become increasing
ly necessary that there should be COM
plete unity in the attitude of the nation
towards its acquisitions; and this neces-
sity will manifestly tend toward an in
crease Of the national or republican spirit
In other directions. Nothing is more likely
to put a stop to the desultory guerrilla
fighting than positive declaration on the
part of the United States of their inten-
ton to carry the task they have COM
menced to a definite and satisfactory con-
clusion.'
Comparing Americas position in the
Philippines with that of Great Britain in
South Africa, the Times says:
Every year must increase America s
points of contact with other nations, and
her share in the control of the destinies
of the world In the fulfillment of her
appointed mission she can rely in the
fullest measure upon British sympathy

WASHINGTON, Nov. S-Cass Gilbert,
of st. Paul, has been confirmed as archi-
tect Tor the new custom house at New
York. AS Secretary Gage was leaving
the White house after the cabinet meet
ing, he was asked If the matter had been
considered at the meeting and he replied
in the affirmative.
What was done?" was asked next
1.-THE award of commission was con-
firmed," was the reply This settles the
neat sum of 100000.
Mr. Gilbert said, when he had been in
formed of his selection:
II entered into the contest In good faith
ard presented the committee selected by
the secretary of the treasury with the
best design for a custom house that I was
capable Of making. Had 1 been aware
at the time that such a fight was going
to be made against my selection by Sena-
tor Platt 1 never would have entered the
contest. 1 have been informed that Sec
rotary Gage has seen fit to confirm the
action of the committee and 1 will carry
out the work assigned me to the best in
terests of the government.
Charles l. Berg, secretary of the Amer
lean Institute Of Architects, arrived here
from New York this afternoon. Mr. Berg
said that meeting of the institute was
held Wednesday night in regard to Cass
Gtlberts selection for the new custom
house. A communication, he said, was
drafted at the meeting and sent to Secre-
tary Gage, asking him to confirm the
action of the jury appointed by him. The
resolutions telegrapbed to him were to
ha hat oo
interest of the architectural profession
and the public that the award of the jury
be confirmed
mo question was raised in our discus
sion AS to the ability Of Mr. Gilbert or
his geographical status, whether he was
a New Yorker or not. Some Of the mem
bers thought the jury may have been a
little injudicious in their method of ar
irving at a decision and there seemed
to be some feeling that the jury was not
entirely composed of men Of national rep
utatton, but there was no feeling shown
or evidence brought forth of any wrong
influences at work with the jury. 1t was
thought by some that the jury's man
ner of arriving at a decision between
Cass Gilbert and Carrere & Hastings was
little 1njudicious, but in voting to up
hold the jury in giving the award to Mr..
Gilbert the members were practically
unanimous
Senator PIatt on behalf of a New York
firm Of architects, has exerted his ut
most influence since the award was first
made to Gilbert to have a new board Of
awards appointed and the award
changed. TIe even went so far as to take
the matter up with the president, but
the president declined to interfere In the
matter and 1t went back to Secretary
Gage, of the treasury, who has also de-
clined to change the award or to select u
now board, insisting that 1t would not be
good policy.
