Mr.. BARNEY Of SCHOOL BOARD
DOES NOT FAVOR COMMISSION.

The matter OF change in the method
OF administration of the public schools is
a subject which is occupying a great deal
of attention Just at present. and great
many thinking men are giving considera-
BILE time TO its consideration.
The News has already given the views
of several gentlemen who are OF the
opinion that the schools should be gov
crned by a small commission, rather than
by the present school committee, which
they claim is an altogether too large and
cumbersome body 10 do the work effi-
GENTLY.
There are, OF course, two sides TO every
question, and The News is desirous OF
placing the arguments, pro and con, on
the question. before its readers. and for
this purpose interviews have been sought
witt. prominent citizens who are interest
ed I'm the question, and who are qualified
by their knowledge of public affairs to
speak intelligently.
MR.. BARNEYs VIEWS.
News reporter called upon Walter II.
Barney. Esq, president of the school
committee. this morning, at his office in
the Industrial Trust company building,
In order TO learn his views upon the pro-
posed establishment OF a school commits
sion.
Mr.. Barney said. at the outset, that
while he had no prejudice whatever In the
matter. he did want TO see whatever was
the very best for the welfare Of the pub
lie schools

constituted. the school committee is do
ing fully as efficient work as any COM
mission could do. and j have no hesita-
ton in saying that the school committee
has been n..e 10 take the management of
the public schools entirely out Of politics.
Some years ago, this was not so.and
a admit that ward politics then were in
jected loo freely into school matters, but
all this has been done away with, and the
results are eninently satisfactory.

Contemplated EIOpemani Leads
TO a Shooting Affray-- Bride
gTO0m's Father Used Weapon

Springdale. Pa. Nov. 26-Because OF the
manner in which the oft-repeated saying,
Love laughs at locksmiths," has been
made a mocker in this place during the
past week the village has been In tur-
moil of excitement
The young persons are Sadie Murdock
and Joseph r. Mckinney. Mckinney is
10 and Miss Murdock 26, but the disparity
in their ages made no difference. He pro-
posed marriage and was accepted, and
plans for the elopement were made.
The young mans father favored the
match. and his assistance was enlisted.
Last Tuesday was set for the elopement.
and in the morning the father and son
went TO Pittsburg and procured a mar
riage license. They went TO a previously
appointed place
Miss Murdock was not there. but had
managed TO send a message. saying her
brothers had got wind of the elopcment,
and that she was being kept a prisoner in
-her-hn -hnme--
Young Mckinney and his father then
determined 10 rescue the girl. Each
armed himself with a revolver and start
ed for the Murdock home. William G.
Murdoch, the girls eldest brother was
on guard at the front door.
Murdock attacked young Mckinney with
his fists. When the elder Mckinney saw
that his son was getting the worst OF II
he drew his revolver, took deliberate aim
at Murdock and fired. The bullet entered
the young mans right leg, and he sank
TO the ground.
Two OF Murdocks brothers then rushed
from the house and overpowered young
Mckinney and his father before they
could again use their guns. Neighbors
also came to the rescue Of the Murdocks.
There were loud cries for rope and
strong talk of lynchlng Mckinney, when
cooler heads prevailed and Mckinney
was marched 10 the office Of Justice of
the Peace Hemmel Wright and sent to the
Allegheny county jail In Pittsburg.

OF the people OF their ward, and there
fore cannot be questioned.
A HEAVY EXPENSE.
Then again the question OF expense is
one that should call for consideration.
There is great deal OF work TO be done
in managing the public school system.
and with the subcommittee method now
in vogue in the school committee this is
accomplished by tho members OF the
committee.
IF It should be decided upon TO have
school commission OF three or five men
they would be compelled TO give their
entire time to do the work now being
done by 80 men, and would. of course.
have To be paid for their time.
IF low-priced men were employed II Is
natural to suppose that the result would
be poor work, and II. on the other hand.
commission of experts In educational
matters was secured very large salaries
would have 10 be paid TO these men.
These are all matters that should be
very carefully considered by those who
seem to think that change is necessary.
KEEP OUT OF POLITICS.
LAS to the appointment OF such COM
mission, II one is ever created opinions
will necessarily differ / certainly do not
see why a commission which Is purely
local I'm its functions should be appointed
by the governor, and If elected by the
people, i fail 90 see any change from the
present system, except In the point OF
numbers.
II should think that the best way would
be an election by the city council or IL
might be done by appointment by the
mayor with the consent of the board OF
aldermen.
But In these several methods there
would always be more or less danger OF
politics playing prominent part, and
this is something that would not tend
TO increase the efficiency of the public
schools.
II repeat however. that as at present
constituted. do not see any need for
change I'm the size OF the school commit
tee, believing, as | do, that It is doing
very efficient work.

IT WILL YIELD.
Porte Not Likely to Delay the
Granting Of ExeQuatur
Much Longer.

New York, Nov. 26-The Constantinopie
correspondent Of the Berlin Tagblat. says
a Herald dispatch from Berlin. states that
the reason why the Porte refused an ex-
equatu TO the newly appointed United
States consul at Harpoot is because when
a missionary he showed himself upfriend-
ly TO the Turks and spread untrue stories
about massacres.
The consul will. however, In spite Of the
decision of the Porte leave for Harpoot
TO take up his new duties.
AS the American battleship Kentucky
is on her way to Smyrna, 1t Is extremely
probable that the Porte Will give way.
Washington dispatch says:
"Mr. Griscom, the charge d'affaires In
Constantinople. will urge the sublime
Porte to issue an exequatur in order that
DR.. Thomas III. Norton may enter upon
his duties as consul at Harpoot as
promptly as possible.

Supreme Court 50 Says Of
Damages In Nelson Suit--how
Trial Refused.

A new trial has been refused by the ap-
pellate division OF the supreme court In
the case of Margaret Nielsen vs.. Edwin
c. Brennan.
A jury gave Mrs. Nelson verdict for
$500 for injuries alleged TO be due to the
careiessness OF the defendant in riding a
bicycle.
The court says I'm substance: The only
exception presented In the defendants
brief relates 20 the introduction OF expert
testimony concerning the proper course
for a bicycle rider TO pursue IN hy-
pothecal case.
While it may be doubtful whether such
expert testimony is proper upon such a
question the answer of the witness was
favorable to the defendant and he was
not prejudiced by the ruling OF the court
We do not think the damages assessed
by the Jury were excessive.
