Notice to School Directors.

I take this medium of answer ing an inquiry which I am re- ceiving from a number of direc- tors and teachers, viz: When an applicant for a school is relat- ed to only one member of the board, can the other two direc- tors employ him legally?
 Your attention is called to the act approved May "A, 1901, which provides that school directors shall not employ any person as teacher, related to either of them by consanguinity or affinity, and that any director or directors vii plating the provisions of the act shall be fined not less than S1O nor more than $50, and be sus- pended from office. The fact that the two directors making the contract were not related to the teacher would not release them unless they receive petition from two-thirds of the patrons of the school, to employ such teacher, prior to making the con- tract.

INTERSTATE TRAFFIC ACT
UP FOR CONSTRUCTION

The suit of w. o. Johnson against the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company has
been broaght TO the United tSates Su-
preme Court on a petition for a writ of
certiorari, from the circuit court of Utah.
The litigation involves the construction
of the act of 1898. which requires rail-
roads engaged in interstate traffic TO
equip their Gays with automatic coup
lers. While at Promontory, Utah, in
1900. Johnson was injured when coupling
a dining ca.9 to an engine. At the time
neither tie car nor the engine was en-
gagged in Interstate traffic.
With hhe petition for writ of Ger
tiorari lis filed statement by Solicitor
Gene,fai Hoyt. in which he says:
4 it would be no violation of the
st5fute for q carrier to haul an empty
car not used to move interstate traffic
from one end of its railroad to the other,
1T would follow that dining car in the
course of trip from ogden to San
Francisco which happened to be empty
for dining cars are not in constant use
by the travelling public-would not be
subject 10 the control of Congress 1t
Is submitted that the car in question
was regularly engaged in Interstate
commerce; that no intention was mani
Tested to take IL out Of that service;
that, on the contrary, ii was stopped at
Promontory for the purpose nf being
returned 10 San Francisco, and there
was. therefore, evidenced an intention
10 retain it in that service. The con
struction placed upon the act by the
circuit court of appeals would lead to
varying and conflicting State snd Fed
eral authority over cars used in inter
state commerce, which might be stopped
temporarily while being detached from,
or attached TO, an interstate train"

ALEXANDRIA, Va, May Ia
hearing in the mayors court this
morning tends to clear the mystery as
to the assault mentioned in The Times
of yesterday. It was then stated that
q young woman and her escort, while
taking a walk Wednesday night, had
been assailed by unknown persons, and
the young people rather seriously hurt.
Today's developments would seem to in
dictate that the escort, William Wahlen.
had committed the assault, and that his
companion, Lima Davis, daughter of
Capt George Davis. was the victim.
Wahlen himself was put upon the
stand He acknowledged the assault.
The mayor continued the case ten
days to await the effect of Miss Davis

BoRELLI COMETS LONG TAIL.
Prof. Elkin of Yale Says 1t Stretches
 Out for 3,0oo,ooo Miles.

New Haven Cor. New York Sun.
 According to the measurement of the new comet Borelli, based on photographs taken by the Yale observers, the tail of the comet is at least 100000 miles long, Prof. William L. Elkin. director of the Yale Observatory, said tonight:
 ''rhe comet is the only important one seen in the last eight years. It is the brightest coet since Smiths about twelve years ago. It will be at it's brightest from now until July 21. Just now 1t is as bright as the pole star. According to the observations, 1t is about 2G,0O0,O GOO miles from the earth at present and rap idly travelling away. It is travelling at about twenty-five miles a second.
 The new Borelli comet Is growing brighter every night. and It may be seen any clear evening if you know where to loow for it. The best time Is about 3 o'clock The comet is then plainly visi- ble to the naked eye, in the northeastern sky, northwest of the constellation of Cygnus W.h a field glass t Is still more plainly visible.
 The best way to find the constellation of Cygnus. is to first locate the Great Dipper. then draw an imaginary line through the two pointer stars forming the outer side of the Dipper. Extending this line northward. it will touch the North star. The constellation of Cygnus lies about as far to the northeast of the North star as the pointer" stars of the Dipper lie in the opposite direction.
 pr. William R. Brooks. director of the Smith Observatory, at Geneva, N. r..
