There was a hearing before Judge
John p. Kelly yesterday afternoon in
the equity proceedings OF Michael Ly-
den against Patrick Fhilbin, John
Fitzhenry, Thomas Sullivan, Thomas
Burke and James Durkn, members Of
the school board OF Lackawanna
township.
Some months ago, the defendants
met and awarded the contract for
furnishing 400 desks to the school dis
trict to =. j. Noon of Pittston, agent
for Seavey g. Company, OF Chicago.
The price of the desks was to be $2.GG,
$3.50 and $2.40. according to size. The
contract was awarded in the absence
of Thomas Coyne, q member of the
board, who it was shown was not noti-
fled Of the calling of the special meet
ing at which the desk mat
ter was considered. 1t was fur
ther alleged that the price paid
for the desks was too high, that
they were of an inferior character and
that in any event only 100 desks were
needed by the district, as it had q.
stock of 300 on hand.
An injunction was sought to prevent
the execution of the contract and the
court made it permanent, because OF
the irregularities charged. The board
met on Nov. 26 and again awarded
the contract to Noon. Coyne alleges
that he was not notified of this meet
ing until the day after it was held,
and another injunction was asked for
by Lyden to again prevent the execu-
tion of the contract.
Yesterday the first hearing on this
injunction was held and Messrs. Fitz-
| henry, Philbin and Coyne, of the
board, We're examined. Detective Will
liam Clifford testified that he had
made Il diligent effort to subpoena
Noon, but had been unable to find him.
Because of his absence, the hearing
was continued until next Monday at
. p. m.
Attorney d. j. Reedy and Attorney
John McGahren appeared for Lyden

tive municipalities one year ago re-
fused minority representation on the
school board and forbade the election
of teachers holding political opinions at
variance with their own. Today we
have complete minority representation
and the teachers chosen solely upon
their merit. The Spanish conception,
that school is q vested right, exist
ing for the teachers, is gone. The
American conception, that q school is
an opportunity, that it exists for the
child, is now universal. Good teachers
are sought; poor ones are discharged.
"Over one hundred teachers from the
states, and over eight hundred natives
are now employed. The native teachers
almost all teach English. In all schools
the children sing our national songs in
English and read from English books.
Every school is carefully supervised
and inspected monthly by competent
supervisorS-all but one being Ameri-
cans who are the personal agents Of the
commissioner of education and report
to him daily. There are sixteen of
these and they have done good work.
CONTRASTS.
"Spain in 400 ears never erected a
single school house in Porto Rico. We
have expended 100000 in the erection
of twenty-one agricultural and fifteen
graded school buildings. Above 5000
pupils now receive instruction in mod
ern school houses. All pupils in all
schools are furnished books and sup
plies absolutely free. The most patr-
otic scholars under the flag today are
our 10000 boys and girls in Porto Rico.
We have a first-class normal school in
operation, with an enrolment of almost
200 pupils. Tuition and books are free.
A large and beautiful building for this
normal school at a cost $4,000, is now
nearing completion at Rio Piedras. The
school in the meantime is held in the
summer palace of the governor. High
schools, as good as any IN the cities of
equal size here, are organized in every
city in which pupils are ready to pur-
sue the course.
''This Is, in brief. an outline of a work
that has been entrancingly interesting,
without precedent, and successful De-
yond the dreams of the most sangulre.
Porto Rico now wants a star in the flag
of the Union. She has already learned
that the door of entrance to statehood
is the door Of the public school,"

witness against him was a photograph

Hindoo criminals succeed by long prac-
tice in forming a little bag in their
threats, into which they can guide Jewels
when they steal them. Last September
a native was arrested for stealing a dia-
mond worth 10000 rupees from a jewelers. s
window in Calcutta. But as the evidence
was only circumstantial and possession
improved he would have been liberated
had 1t not occurred to the police to have
an x-ray photograph taken of his throat.
That showed the gem safely hidden in the
little sac. The thief was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment, but he still refuses
to give up the diamond.
The Roentgen ray photography has also
been instrumental in adding several thou-
sand pounds to the customs revenue of
Buenos Ayres within the last wear Val

through the village on the very morning
of the murder. Attracted by the quaint

went on to stay in an out-of-the-way part
of the Highlands and did not hear Of
Cooper's death for some days. Then he
FASTENED to develop his plates. Plain in

wording on this could not be read, yet on
the strength of this evidence the police
made a thorough search OF McKenna's
premises. They found the remains Of the
bottle in question in an old well and
proved that 1t had contained carbolic acid
Then McKenna confessed his guilt.
The more recent developments of scien-
s-tific photography must make the criminal
feel less secure than he used to. One of
those thieves who make a living by van
robbing got an unpleasant shock one day
in March last. He had safely got off with
a tub of butter. which he had stolen from

The two long-distance booths are q
source of trouble also, for often the coun-
try subscriber will only know the name OF
the man he wants with no further partic-
ulars. and the operator or little Yick Chun
will have to go out and look him up. The
good hello boy has not bed Of chrys-

it comes to the point where the subscriber

The Camera TO Defect Crime,

~ ROBABLY no human invention has
~ aided the course of justice to
u greater extent than the snapshot
camera. 1t has been instrumental
in condemning criminals. and has also
been the. means before now of saving in
nocent lives.
A case in point Is that of Alfred Gray
son. an Englisbman who was living few
years ago at Rio de Janeiro. He was ac-
cused of the murder of a Brazilian named
Linares, a clerk in the same Office with
himself The two were known to have
quarreled some days previous to the Sun
day on which LinaTes met his death. APP
parently, however, they had made up
their differences. for they went out sailing
that day on small yacht which Grayson
had hired.
In the evening Grayson brought the
dead body of Linares home. His story
was that the latter had fallen from the
mast and fractured his skull. But medi-
cal evidence was of opinion the wound on
the head had been made with a stick or
oar. An oar was missing from the yachts
dingey. The mast-climbing story, too,
sounded improbable. for the rigging was

This was snapshot photograph take,
as the vessel entered the harbor. Far

dark mark which a powerful magnifier
proved to be falling man. BY an almost
miraculous coincidence the camera had
been snapped just as Linares fell. The
photograph turned the scale in Grayson,s
favor.
