teacher of music in the Leon schools,
the result of a disagreement over the
salary. The music teacher has been re-

hours a week. Mrs. Gardner when she
applied this year asked for $35 which
the board refused to pay and fixed the
salary at S25 as heretofore. When the
warrants were made out for January she
refused to accept hers, saying she would
not teach for less than $50 and at a
meeting last week the board voted
against paying more that S25, and she
resigned.

WILL SUPPRESS
THE CRiMP

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Because
of the large number of assertions from
British vessels while in port at San
Francisco. the British Embassy has
furnished to the State Department evil
dence against alleged "crimpers' in
San Francisco that will, it is believed,
result in a rigid investigation. The
embassy officials assert that the So
called Sailors Home at San Fran
cisco is headquarters for ''crimpers."
Statistics collected by the Commits
sioner of Navigation show that there
were 6SS assertions from sixty-four
British vessels carrying IT'S men. Brit
ism ships from Australia have suffered
assertions amounting to q per cent.
and those from Europe 43 per cent. In
the opinion of the Commissioner of
Navigation Congress has power to
remedy the present conditions by pro-
viding that only regularly licensed
agents shall be allowed to supply sea-
men to vessels. The State Depart
ment, it is understood, has sounded
the British Government on this point.
The Commissioner, who has prepared
an exhaustive report on the question
for submission to Congress, does not
find that the Sailors Home is RESPONSE
BILE for assertions, but he suggests that
the British Consul General at San
Francisco, if put on the executive COM,
mittee of the home, would be in a bet
ter position to prevent ''crimping."
