CHARGES AGAINST 4 TEACHER.
IT'S said That lie Used Improper Langua sc
to Pupils--He Denies 1t.

A Brooklyn newspaper printed story
yesterday that Elmer F.. Henderson of Z
Henry street, West Flatbush, teacher
in Public School 81, in Dupont street, near
Manhattan avenue. Brooklyn, had been
summoned before the committee on ele-
mentary schools OF the Department Of Edu-
cation to stand trial on charges Of incom-
potency and conduct unbecoming a
teacher. 1t was explained that Mr.. Hem
derson was charged with making remarks
which caused embarrassment among his
class of boys and girls. and that he had
presented his photograph to girl pupil.
mo complaint has been served and
know nothing officially about it," said Mr..
Henderson last night. Absolutely MOTH
ing improper has been said before my
class az to the photograph. ! missed it
from my desk and subsequently learned
which pupil had it. She kept IL with the
consent of her parents and there was abso-
lutely no sentiment connected with it.
Miss O'Neil the head Of the department
heard of it. az did Bryan J. Reilly the prin-
cipal. and Miss Grace Strachan. the district
superintendent, and they asked me about it,
"The whole trouble WAS that WIS trans
ferred to the school against the wishes of
the principal. The thing which really
started the inquiry was that gave an
examination and caught two Of the girls
copying and took up their papers.
Mr.. Henderson showed documents signed
by members of his class and their parents
to the effect that they were satisfied with
him az a teacher and that he had never
been guilty of any improper conduct by
word or deed. He explained the fact that
only eigh, OF his pupils out Of class Of
forty-one passed their examinations the
last school term by the desire Of the authori-
ties to osst him from his position.
1T is strange that they should discover
that had been using improper language
so quietly after the two girls had had their
papers Aaken up, he said. Il cant afford

Thorough Search Made Around q Sus-
pectcd Mans House.

SANTA CLARA, n. Y, Sept. H.--The man
who assasslnat ed Orlando P. Dexter on his
Adirondack estate last Saturday hes rot
been apprehended
In certain quarters it il considered prob
able that the murderer will Tot be captured
for several months. The people hereebouts
argue that there Is but one chance OF appre-
hehdil the guilty man, ard that ia to serd
a detective into the woods and have him
take I'D his abode az q wood chopper or
guide and so mingle with the natives that
he will be able to learn facts regarding the
crime not otherwise obtainabe, II is likely
that such plan has already been adopted.
1t was reported to-day that man sus-
pected OF being the murderer lives near
Hopkinton, In st. Lawrence county. Yester-
day the Sheriff and his posse made
thorough search in the woods around the
suspected mans house, about twelve miles
from the Dexter cottage. 1t was learned
at the house Of the suspect that he had not
been about the place for a week.
The report that the house OF William
Rockefeller was fred on the night before
Mr.. Dexter was assassinated proves to
be without foundation.
