TEACHERS CAN'T
AGREE ON A
COMP PROMISE
Considered the Clarke
Resolutions.

Meeting in the Auditorium OF the
Girls High School Provokes
Long and Fruitless
Farley.
NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED
ATTORNEYS CREsWELL AND
oLNEY QUESTIONED.

From o'clock Yesterday afternoon till
In the evening the teachers assembled
for peaceful discussion in the auditorium
Of the Girls High School on the wool
worn proposition of unpaid salaries IN
dulged their forensic inclinatons ana ac-
complished nothing.
The meeting was specially called to act
upon the Clarke resolutions which serve
as a substitute for the compromise meas
ure The resolutions prepared ana intro
duced by F. H. Clarke read as follows:
Be it resolved, that the committee on htlSa-
tion be and hereby is given tull power 70 4i9 th
pose of the litigation now pending before In one
Superior Court. subject TO the following Con-
ditions: ,.,
q The restriction of the claims of the mer-
chant creditors TO the amount OF cash @ @that @ tney
would actually receive under the committee
plan at least until the payment of salaries
for the balance of the fiscal year has been as
sured.
A reading of the resolutions was not
necessary for every delegate present
came armed with a printed copy. Inc
storm broke loose as soon as CnalrLldn ma
Brooks recited the purpose OF the con
vention A heated discussion began by
the supporters Of compromise measures
and their opponents, the anti-comP}ro, l!}Io,,
ii was discovered that Harry T. CresWell
and Warren Olney, the attorneys Tor the
teachers were in the hall. A motion was
then made to have the gentlemen or the
law on the stage. It was carried, but not
without opposition, for the antagonlssts sI5.o OF
compromise did not wish to shower 1aVorS
upon the attorneys who recommended
such measures.
Creswen and Olney took their seats on
the platform and were subjected to a oat-
tery fire of questions from the army of
teachers who wished to be enlightened on
the legal aspect of the case. They stood
their own, supplying whole volumes of
law at a gasp. The teachers were salts
fed and the attorneys departed.
After being sidetracked a dozen or more
fITfOnG no n1 \
vious question. Whether to compromise
with the merchants and secure their
June salaries or to get a portion of their
November and December salaries and
take a chance at not receiving their June
salaries were the questions discussed.
The Clarke resolutions favor a relinqutsh
ment of the November and December in
order to guarantee the June salaries and
leave the S35. 900 surplus to the merchants.
The meeting was adjourned until April

NELLIE PARTRIDGE MISSING.
The Young Lady Left Her Home Yes
+erdav and Failed to Return.

Considerable anxiety was manifested
nv Miss Jennie Partridge, the assistant
librarian of the Branch Public Library
al Station over her sister Nellie's alb
sence from her home at 1928 Twenty first
street. Miss Nellie Partridge has been
noticed by her sister to be somewhat de-
mented of late. She seemed absentmind-
ed and Indifferent to her surroundings,
hut II was considered that this might in
time and by kind treatment pass off,
consequently no particular watch was
kent over her actions other than to pro-
vide for her wants and see that she did
not do ANYTHING out of the way to her
self or those about her.
Yesterday afternoon, however, when
her sister Jennie returned to her home
from the Library she missed Nellie from
the house and made inquiries OF the
neiehbOrs If they had seen her. Not be-
ine able to ascertain anything regarding
baI Miss Jennie called on Captain Gtllin,
of the Seventeenth street station, and in
formed him of her absence The watch

Examination of Teachers.

The examinations to be held on Monday
next at the Normal School in which aspf-
rants may qualify for teachers certifi-
Gates will be broad in their scope. They
will not be limited TO persons who want
to qualify for teachers positions, but will
be open also to persons who want to quail
ify as special teachers. Many of these
are at present teaching without the
proper certificates. and Director Eells
holds that the approval of their warrants
is a violation of the law The special
teachers who are included in this list
may take the examinations on Monday
and thus fortify themselves against the
time their present certificates are ques-
toned If they do not qualify now and
their certificates are questioned they
might be dropped from the rolls.
The apparent conflict of authority be-
tween the Board of Education and the
Board of Examiners is not one in reality.
The School Directors postponed the eX-
aminations at their last meeting until
June After this action, which was taken
contrary to the advice of Superintendent
webster it was found that the law made
it imperative to hold these examinations
semi-annually. Monday was the proper
time. hence the action of the examiners
in determining to proceed with the work
as required by law. Had 1t been per
mitted to lapse until June there was E

suit with the other men. women and
children. Being speedier than the
rest. he followed MeIdrum into the
brewery and found him hidden behind
some sacks of bran, and aided in
bringing him before his breathless
purSuers.
Detective Crockett and officer Van
Kuren testified to having participated
in the chase and of having searched
Meldrum when he reached the CITY
Prison. Crockett stated that he found
$13 SO in his hip pocket, and as this
sum was said to have been taken
from Mrs. Ashmore's room. Attorney
Sweeney tried to show that there
were other amounts on the pris-
oner and that the sum named was not
stolen. The testimony of both Off
GERS was mistaken by the volley of
interrogations and they were later
corroborated by Mrs. Ashmore, who
positively identified the money as
that taken from her house.
When the prosecution rested Attor-
ney Sweeney asked for continuance
until next Saturday, as he desired to
bring witnesses forward to testify to
the good character borne by the pris-
oner and also prove that when his
client was searched other sums were
found upon him. The motion for
continuance was opposed by the Pros
ecuting Attorney, but Judge Barry
granted Mr.. Sweeney's request.

the escaping robber, Mrs. Ashmore
told Of his flying down the stairs and
boarding an electric car and of his
jumping off and seeking safety in~the
barn of a brewery in the imH1ediate
neighborhood. Attorney Sweeney, for
the defense. tried to tanGle the wit
ness up, but failed. With view to
continuing the case in the upper
court. he examined Mrs AshmOre at
length, but did not swerve her par
ticle.
Miss Dora Knell, sister to Mrs.
Ashmore, then took the stand. There
was more craning of necks in the
courtroom, as it is seldom that sucn
pretty witness appears in such uncon-
genial surroundings. Miss Knell was
unused to the ways of the law and
was greatly amused at the quibbling
of counsel At one stage of her tes-
timony she burst out into laughter,
and at the sight of her pearly teeth
Judge Barry forgot his dignity and
joined in the mirth, and was raped
to order by his own bailiff.
Miss Knell admitted having joined
in the chase after the culprit. but was
quickly allowed to depart, as Attor-
ney Sweeney was too gallant to both
er her with too many questions.

Company-Details of Con-
solidation.

c. P. Huntington is journeying by easy
stages from New York to San Francisco,
expecting TO arrive here in ample time to
attend the annual meeting of the South
ern Pacific Company on Wednesday.
April s. George Crocker will arrive in
this city next Monday.
OF late there has been a deal Of con-
lecture regarding important changes
in the leading departments CT the COM
pany, but the most authentic informa-
ton obtainable is to the effect that the
changes will be few and unimportant.
Will II. Crocker, one of the directors Of
the institution, does not expect any ma
teriaI readtustment in the organiza ton.
He entertains the opinion that there will
be no change in the heads of depart
ments and does not hesitate to pronounce
the story that Mr.. Herrin will be severed
from the control of the law department
as a pure invention.
You can publish the fact in The Call"
remarked Mr.. Crocker, that there will
be no important changes in the manage
ment. 1t is now a matter of history that
the Central Pacific debt to the Govern
ment has been paid in full: The pay
ment is practically accomplished. c. P.
Huntington will be reelected president
of the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Herrin will
remain at the head of the law depart
ment. He will not be retired or asked
to resign. George Croclxer and myself no
doubt will be reelected on the board.

There is a feeling of relief that the debt
to the Government has been lquidated
and there is a feeling of qualification that
the interests of the company are well
managed"
The consolidation OF the Southern Pa
cifC and Central Pacific has not yet been
perfected in detail. but there is no ques-
ton that the ownership of the Central
line now lies in the Southern Pacific.
The stockholders of the Central Pacific
will receive Southern Pacific certificates
or bonds in lieu of their Central Pacific
holdings. Some little time will be re-
nected with the consolidation.
The impression is gained from conver-
