TEACHER is ACCUSED OF
WRITING ANONYMOUS LETTERS

South Norwalk, ct, Dec. 25.-Miss
Elizabeth irwin, the only teacher in the
Rowayton public school who has not re-
ceived anonymous and threatening let
tiers, is accused by Principal Mcclellan
of being the author of the letters. The
charge was made publicly at meeting
in the school.
1t was intended to keep the affair
secret until the guilty person was identt
fed, but the proceedings of the school,
meeting and Miss Twins vigorous denial
has defeated this plan.
There are lawyers on all sides of the
controversy now. Prosecutor Carter OF
Stamford is after the criminal, whoever
he may be. Attorney Beers is representing
Miss Irwin and threatening proceedings
against those who have mentioned her
name in this connection, and Attorney
Vosburgh is looking out for the principal
and other teachers.
Miss Irwin knows that a watch has been
kept on her, and she said today that thai
fact alone should clear her of the charge
as she could by no possibility have sem
the letters without being detected.

BY A SOCIETY GIRL

Seneca Falls, N Y, Dec. 25.-With her
cloak Miss Jennie Couring, a society girl
here, stopped the Seneca Falls Telephone
Company from erecting an unsightly pole
in front of her home and is celebrating
Christmas with an extra zest today.
Miss Couring is leader in society and
the daughter of the late John p Couring
a wealthy manufacturer. A gang of mer
started to dig a hole directly in front OF
the Couring residence. Miss Couring ap'
peared and ordered them to stop, but
they laughed at her.
Miss Couring took off her cloak, spread
it over the partly dug hole and defed
any one to touch it.
Miss Couring declared the pole would
be an eyesore and obstruct the view OF
the lake from the house. If the men per-
sisted she said she would get into the hole
and stay there until the company changed
its plans.
The crowd cheered Miss Couring and
the superintendent took his men away.
