TO CONTEST THE
SCHOOL SITE.
Not Unanimous in the Seventh
District.
A SPECIAL MEETING TO BE CALLED.
Notice has been Sent out for Monday
Evening Next.
\ SPECIAL MEETING TO BE CALLED.
MAY RECONSIDER THE NEW LOCATION
Large Number Of the People of the District
are Dissatisfied by the Recent Choice of
Land-Wish the School House TO be
Built North Side OF the Track.

District Clerk. f. G. Raeuber, upon
the request of Louis Schmitz. Carl f..
Schmidt, lgnatz Naidy, Joseph Zboral-
sky and Paul Kattner, has issued notices
calling special meeting of the voters of
school district No, !, to take place next
Monday evening ut o'clock At an ad-
journed meeting held July 9 the district
appropriated 100000 for school house.
Two sites were proposed, N) between
Twentieth and Twenty first streets one
half block north of Washington. and
2) on Clark street between Twen-
tieth and Twenty first. The former To-
Gated one and one-half blocks north of
the new Polish church received the en-
dorsement of the School board.
After Il spirited discussion the site on
Clark street was chosen by n vote of "A
to 81. The minority was by no means
satisfied with the selection, and threat
ened to appeal to the State Superintend-
ent, H. ID. Harvey, on the ground that
the site is not in the geographical centre
of the district. 1t appears, however
that such IN appeal could not he sus-
tanned inasmuch as the statutes do not
require school districts to locate their
schools, centrally. The appeal has now
taken II different form. 1t is directed to
the people themselves. Those who op-
pose II reconsideration maintain that the
site south of the railroad tracks is per
haps little nearer the geographical
centre of the district, yet the mass of
children will come from the portion of
the district located north of the railraod
tracks Their opponents deny this

the Office one term, and following pre-
cedence in this county, they are entitled
to another nomination,
The officers to be elected this fall will
he the district attorney, circuit court
clerk county clerk, county treasurer,
county superintendent of schools, sheriff
and register of deeds.
At the present time the county treas

SO that the library will be properly

purpose is to have the architect who
will draw plans for Il city hall so ar

The thought was that some years must
elapse before the library will be in "A

should be centrally located and that the

COMMITTEE CHOSEN
TO REPORT ON SITE
FOR A CITY HALL.

1t is the determination of Mayor Rahr
to have the projected city hall built as
he graphically puts it, before the snow
falls. At the meeting of the council on
Monday night the Mayor at the conclu-
sion of the regular business meeting said
to the aldermen present that the time
had arrived when it was necessary to
build q city hall.
In the course of his talk he referred to
the present shack which does duty for y
city hall, as disgrace to the city, saying
that no municipality of the size of Man
itOwoc is without a proper city hall
The Mayor queried each of the alder
men and asked them their views as to
the desirability of city hall and each
one got up and admitted that he was not
only in favor of the project but very
much SO. AS IL matter of fact there was
not dissenting vote or word uttered,
hence the mayor appointed Il committee
on site to report next Tuesday according
to n resolution offered by Alderman
Blesch.
The mayor named the committee as
follows Aldermen Blesch, Pohl and
Biegel.
1t was the general sentiment of the
aldermen that the site should be chosen
somewhere in the central part of the
town, so that it would be contiguous to
the greater portion of the population.

COMMITTEE ON

The question of II central high school
came up before the council on Monday
night. 1t was agreed by the council
men that committee should be chosen
to meet the committees appointed by the
First and Seventh Districts to push the
matter of a central high school
1t seemed to be the prevailing senti-
ment mt the meeting that the city would,
in the near future, have the opportunity
through the ballot box of saying wheth
er it was in favor of the city system of
schools or not.

ARC LIGHTS WILL
BE USED IN THE
CENTRAL PART OF CITY.

As soon rs the streets have been paved
and that will be within the next few
weeks, arc lights will be seen on Eighth
aud Commercial streets
Ii is the an .ention of Mayor Rahr to
furnish arc lights to the streets immedi-
ately they are paved 1t is thought that
as soon as the people see how well Eighth
street looks when paved and lighted by
the arc system, those who live in other
sections of the town will make endeayor
to have their streets paved and lighted.

WHAT DOES FAGAN MEAN {?
He Opposes Vigorously
Granting Vacations ito
Police.

Mayor Lawrence Fagan, Of Hoboken,
has not lost his faculty for keeping the
politicians of that town guessing. He
surprised them yesterday by the stand he
took at the Police Board meeting when
The matter of department vacations came
up for discussion. His Honor strenuously
opposed granting any members of the
orce vacations. He said the men had no
5ng hours of duty like the police in
ther cities, and that the paid vacation
rivilege was ont that had no other sane
on than an old and foolish custom.
Insignificant as this expression of opin-
n may appear to some, it means much
ming from Pagan, who liberality in all
tiers pertaining to the police force has
eretofore been one of the most pro-
.ounced features of his regime. The blue
coats were greatly surprised when they
learned of it and they are guessing.

standing the Mayors disapproval. author

WASN'T He JUSTIFIED Z
IF Bowers Story Was True He
Wasn't So Much to Blame.

James Powers an Italian junkman, 2l
years old, of No. 2s4 Seventh street, was
arraigned today in the Second Criminal
Court charged with assault and battery
on Mary vreeGenberg, of No 37s Mon
mouth street. The alleged assault was
committed at picnic at Baldwin Park.
The complainant testified that she hap
pened to touch overs on the back when
he turned, struck her in the face and
knocked her down.
overs said that Miss Vreedneberg had
been his best girl but hat they are now on
the outs Yet, he alleges, she follows him
about and every new hat he gets she
delights in breaking, having up to date
ruined for him $14 worth. She seized his
straw hat at the picnic and in his effort
OF get it way from her his fist slipped and
struck her.
His admission Of striking her was the
only part of the story Justice Murphy
believed and, remarking that a man who
strikes a woman is no good, the Justice

robbery of Robert Steingrove's bird store
at No $50 Grove street, on March Ii las
is cleared UP. A case of thieves 'gettln;

lures of the case, and incidentally an IN
teresting story of conspiracy on the pa
of one of the thieves to get the other OF
of the way so that he could monopoA
the affections of Hoboken woman
steinberg's bird store was robbed
eighteen cararies Detectives and pol
investigated. but to no purpose. Recent
Detective McNally received a tip to Il
effect that August Crumbeline, who seems
to have got the information through MS
son that Samuel Harlon, twenty-eight
wears old. of No. GOA Adam street, Hobo
ken. and William Wolf ,thirty-two years
old of the same street, committed the
robbery. at Steinberg's bird store. Nc
NalIy was furnished with a description
of the alleged burglars.
The detective also learned that William
Jackson was also to some extent mixed
up in the transaction. The woman
alluded to above is said to be the wife
of Crumbeline. Harlon, it is hited by
some was jealous of Crumbeline and
Crumbeline it is claimed, thinks that
Harlon put up job on him by causing
him, while drunk, to steal a bicycle and
then notified the police who stole the
wheel, and thus got him out of the way.
Hence Crumbeline retaliation.
Armed with descriptions furnished by
Crumbeline, Detective McNally sauntered
over to Hoboken few nights ago and
ran down his quarry.
William Jackson, a brother of the wom-
an alluded to above, was found. He made
a statement at the Seventh street station,
which he corroborated in court this morn
ing in the witness chair when Harlon and
Wolf were arraigned. This statement was
to the effect that Harlon had borrowed s2
from his sister on Sunday, March II, with
which to buy some birds He accom-
panied them to Jersey City in the even
ing. They found one bird store open.
Steingrove's was closed. They stopped at
Steingrove's and Dutch Herman said
the witness, said, let's get the birds,
Jackson further testified that when he
suspected that Harlon and Wolf were in
tent upon robbery, he left them, jumped a
car and went back to HobolSen. Next
morning he saw several canaries at his
sisters house.
Lawyer Archibold represented the pris-
oners. Both were held in $500 for the
Grand Jury. jackson was he Id in $500
as a witness. He was subsequently, par
