added that all reports of his resgning

THOUSANDS OUT or SCHOOL.
mr. III ST HOW MANY WON'T RE-
k\OWN TILL TO-DAY.


The public schools opened yesterday and
..yeral thousand children were turned away
for lack of room. just how many could
not Le admitted will not be known until
today, when Supt William H. Maxwell
will have received reports from all Of the
district superintendents
DIR Maxwell said vest erday that he he'd
no information 10 give Es TO the number Of
children who had been registered last week
or the number who applied for admission
A, the opening OF the schools. He expects
to be able to give full statistics to-day.
In some parts Of the city there was more
than sufficient accommodation for all of
the children who applied. This was
especially the case in the schools between
Central Park and Third avenue. One school
could have accommodated 200 more children
The excess of children over accommoda-
lion was greatest in parts Of the East Side.
where the population is dense.
The Board Of Education will try to accom-
modate as many children as possible by
putting some Of those over Q years of age
in part time classes, and an effort will be
made to induce some Of the children who
have been crowded out Of school in the
thcky populated districts to go to the
schools where the attendance is less than
the sitting facilities. II was said yesterday
that the beard might offer free transporta-
ton to such children as an inducement
to their parents to fill up partly empty
schools
Supt Snyder Of the Building Bureau
estimated before the opening of the schools
that $4,000 children would be unable to
find room in the schools in their immediate
neigbborhoOd This took into account
the 1900 sittings provided in new schools.
Other new Schools having a total seating
capacity Of 5000. will be completed. it is
expected. between now and next February.
A corps of fifty-five medical inspectors
and thirty nurses from the Board OF Health
began Yesterday the work of examining the
pupils for conta gious diseases. All children
having whooping corgi. rngworm or
serious eye troubles were sent home. Such
children will be excluded from school until
they have recovered. This examination
will be kept UP, and il is estimated that about
5000 children will be sent home from the
schools because of contagious diseases.
Four new schools. with seating capacity
of 1900, were opened yesterday in the Dor
ough Of Brooklyn. These will afford only
raTtial relief and there is no expectation
that fewer children will have to be placed on
halt time this session than last. The asso-
cate superintendent for the borough
will not submit their reports on TIE regis
trait ion until this afternoon

That which seems to be right to,
one person is all wrong in the
estimation of another. That which
is wrong and unlawful in one state
or country is common practice and
encouraged by the best people of
another state or county. A man

wife he goes to prison, while in

Fire In Fosters'.Factory at st. Louis.
Friday st. Louis Republic contains
an account Of the fire In the Mound City
Shoe company's factory, owned by
j. II. Foster & sons, formerly OF this
city. The Republic says; Fire which
broke ont about 0 80 last evening IN the
factory of the Mound City Boot and Shoe
company, at the corner Of Seventh and
Market streets, did damage to the amount
Of $40 900, according TO rough estimate
made by President Foster OF the com
pany. This Is the third time the Mound
City Boot and Shoe company has suf'
fered loss by fire. The first time In
twelve years was at Second and Cherry
streets and the next was at Nineteenth
and Chestnut. On both occasions the
fire started In adjacent buildings. The
origin Of yesterdays fire is not known.
President Foster says It may have come
from wire connected with motor on
the second floor. The peculiar feature
of II was that there was fire on the sec
ond floor none on the third and fourth,
but the fifth floor was damaged con-
siderably, Chief Swingley Is Of the
opinion that the elevator shaft accounts
for this. When the iiremen arrived the
blaze was burning the stills Of the second
story windows on the Seventh street
side and It looked for few moments rs
II the department had y stubborn fight
on its hands, In twenty minutes, how.
ever the fire was under control A large
crowd watched the flames Acting As-
sistant Chief Panzer was injured by
running a fork through his hand while
ut work on the second floor covering
goods with oil cloth. The wound IL not
considered serious, After making n
hasty examination OF the premises last
night, President Foster stated that the
company would resume business as soon

necessary repairs made,
