PAN AMERICAN OPENING.
Erie r. RS. Preparations for Visit
ors' Comfort.

1t is wonderful to note how rapidly the
work is being completed for the Fair in
Buffalo as the opening day approaches.
The various scattered parts are being
assembled to make one harmonious whole
and the management say that nothing
now can retard their plans to have the
gates opened promptly on the original
date named May 1. President Mckinley
will do this by pressing an electric button
in the far off city of Vieksburg, where he
will stay for a few hours on his tour.
The opening day will be taken up by
speech making, music, salutes of guns,
and other ceremonies fitting to such a
great occasion. The Erie Railroad is also
up to the times in preparing for this open
ing. The road bed and equipment are re-
ceving critical attention SO as to give the
best of service. Twenty-Five elegant
coaches have recently been put in COM
mission. These cars are longer than those
commonly used, having a seating capacity
for seventy-eight passengers. An inno-
walton in their construction that is not i'm
mediately noticed is that they are sheath
ed in copper, and have aluminium letter.
ing. This makes very rich and pleasing
finish and promises to be very durable.
The comfort of the passenger, however,
was the first consideration in their con-
struction and this has been accomplished
to an admirable degree.

STOKES BILL ATTACKED.
Mandamus Proceedings Now
Under Way Against the
Board of Education.


President John J. Mulvaney, of the
Board of Education in his legal capacity,
has commenced mandamus proceedings to
compel the Board to carry out the pro
visions of the Stokes Education Act and
appoint Committee on Estimates. The
act, which the Board has never taken
advantage of and which by these means
propose to test its constitutionality, says
that the Board shall appoint two mem
bers, the Finance Board two and ''the
Mayor will be the keystone of the arcI,''
as Director William A. Lewis put it. The
committee will make UP the estimates for
the appropriations during the year.
Some of the Directors thought that tie
best way to test the constitutionality of
the Stokes bill would be to appoint the
business manager" as it authorizes the
Board to do, but Director William A.
Lewis said there would be no money 70
pay the services of such an official and
besides 1t would be a very expensive way
to attack the bill. 1t was on his advice
that the present bill of conduct was un-

that his sister Ann is using hypnotism to
induce their mother to disinherit him.
The police had to be called to part the
Warring brother and sister at the office
OF their late father this morning
The elder Francis died several months
ago, leaving an estate which the family
say IS valued at $4,000. He made no will
and his widow took charge of the estate.
Since his fathers death Rees has been
managing the business. This morning his
mother and sister arrived in Hoboken
from home at Orange and tried to
induce him to resign his post. He re-
fused and the wrangle which followed
led the mother to call in a policeman.
Later she appeared in the Recorders S
Court and swore out a warrant for his
arrest, charging him with using threats
to herself and daughter.
The case will be heard tomorrow Law
yer Skelly, who has been engaged by
Francis, says his client can prove that
the influence exercised over her mother
by Miss Francis is due to hypnotism.
