Lowell Won Twelfth Straigh. GamS
From Chelsea by Rough House Work.
Manager Banows Says That He Is
Going to Keep Carr aid Signs Schulz.

In q game that was hard fought from
start to fnish the Lowell quintctte de-
feated the Chelsea team at Chelsea last
evening. the LOO spectators getting their
ill OF the best indoor winter sport
known. The game was marked by the
particularly rough play OF the Lowell
team, and the roughness finally won
out, because OF the superior strength
and bulldog tactics OF the Foxey Five.
1t was the 18th straight victory for tho
Lowell team, which has not been defeat
ed since January 27. Jean. the big CEN
est man on the floor and he bumped all
eomsrs with rare impartiality. Holder
ness played wonderfully we'll at half
back for the visiting team and Ted Lewis
had speed to burn. Harper, the young
ster playing goal for Chelsea. played a
superb game. booting out drive after
drive with fine Judgment.
The aggressiveness OF the play OF the
Lowell team may be noted In the fact
that Harper had 70 stops and 10 drives
got past him. while Tibbetts had q stops
and seven drives got by him. The Chel-
sea team began play like hurricane
and for the fret period OF play fairly
swept the Lowell team of the surface.
Miller did . great deal OF driving and
before 10 minutes had elapsed the Chel-
seas had gotten five straight goals. The
pace was furious and the Lowells lasted
better than did the home team. Low
ell gradually hit its gait and gathered in
. couple before the period ended.
But the second period tho Lowell team
did just what the Chelsea team had done
the previous period and slammed In FIVE
straight goals, which gave the visiting
team lead OF two. When the third
was begun the play was even faster
than ever before and roughness and
brute strength took the play OF scientific
play. 1t was sam-bang from all parts
Of the rink.

fore the grievance committee of the
board of education makes a report rel
alive to the superintendent investiga-
tion concluded last night. While
nothing is given out, it Is reported the
committee viii probably find only tech
nical violation Of rules, il that much.
II is desired to have the matter full
ly disposed of before the annual cleo
ton of principals and teachers. Su-
perintendent Hatfield will apply for

vantage with chs rges brought against

mencement, will select . time for hold
ing the annual election of teachers,
which will have to be subsequent to
the examination, about the middle Of
this month and also set time to hear
the report Of the grievance committee.
A member stated this morning that
he did not think any teacher need fear
for her position on account Of having
10 testify in the investigation. That
he knew of no member of the board
Who would hold it against teacher,
no matter where his sympathies were,
and that so far as his own attitude
was CONCERNED be had thought nothing
about II.
The same member stated that he did
not know what steps would be taken
to restore harmony in the schools.
That he thought the teachers would
understand that they were expected to
get along and act in a manner for the
best interests of the schools, no mat
ter what their personal feelings were.
He deplored the fact that should
Superintendent Hatfield be reelected
there might always be strained and
unfriendly relations between him and
some of the teachers, but had heard
no plan suggested for overcoming such
contingency and felt confident Super
intendent Hatfield would be reelected.
The members of the board seem to
be thoroughly worn out. They were
out until late Monday until midnight
last night, and will be out at the
commencement tomorrow night and
Friday night.

Supt. Wallace Has Resigned as
City Light Superintendent.
The Investigation of Charges Against
Him Was Set for To-
night.
COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY

superintendent Harry Wallace of
the city electric light plant, mas ten
dered his resignation, effective at once,
and the investigation Of charges filed
against him in the board Of aldermen
several nights ago has now been de-
olared of, and 1t is probable Mr.. Kee-
bier. who has been acting superinten.
dent at the plant for the past two or
three months, will be elected to sue
coed him.
The charges against Superintendent
Wallace were for neglect and incompe-
tency. He has been quite ill, and when
he returned from Chicago recently the
committee did not permit him TO re-
turn to work. He stated to Mayor
Yeirser today when he rendered his
resignation that there was not enough
in 1t to Justify a controversy or inves-
tigation, and to his friends he has said
that the committee had made mp its
mind to Dust him, and he didn't feel
that he stood any show, as his illness
and absence would have been used in
proving neglect, and taken as a pre-
text for Diminishing him. So he re-
signed and made unnecessary the in
vestigstion set for tonight before the
board OF aldermen.
The jefferson street improvement
project is being doomed by large
number. The thoroughfare If built
will be 100 feet wide, and the largest

some objection on the ground that

1t is thought that all preliminaries
have been disposed of, ana the ordi-
nance is about ready to be considered
by the board.
