Board OF Education Makes Large In
crease in Amount OF Money
Needed for City Schools.
CITY MAY ISSUE BONDS FOR PART.
Total Demand on the City for Coming Year
Amounts to S52.45O. while Last
Year 1t Was But S26.766.95.

The city will be called upon to raise
the sum of $50, $50 for the support of
the schools of the city during
the coming year. These unpre-
cedented figures were set by the Board
of Education at it's adjourned meet
ing last night and the requisition will
be sent to the council at it's meeting
next Monday evening. The amount
demanded shows an increase of over
twenty-five thousand dollars over the
amount asked for last year. Of
course the great increase is due to the
building of the new Durkee school and
the amount asked for this building is
$4,000 or more than one half of the
entire amount.
The Board will suggest to the coun-
Gil that School bonds to the amount of
SIS, 900 be issued to assist in paying
fol- the building and if this can be
done the amount to be taken from the
general fund for the support of the
schools will be only trif1e over
$4,000. Last year the Board asked
for seven thousand dollars for the new
building, but sufficient money was
saved from other funds to increase
this to ten thousand dollars.
An examination of the list of ex-
penditures planned for the coming
year shows that considerable has
been added to the fund for the en-
p1oyment of teachers, and there has
also been a slight increase IN the
amount set apart for the employment
of janitor3. The bills for fuel will be
increased by the opening of the new
building. The report was made up
by the finance committee of the
board and adopted without dissent
ing vote. The estimates of receipts
and expenditures as finally sent to
the council is as follows:

buildings and grounds reported that
the matter had been arranged with
the contractor and the board left all
further negotiations to the committee.

less and needless particulars in the
verdict which is otherwise proper.
would not be prejudicial error. AS
Sault and battery armed with a dam
gerous weapon means no more than
assault and battery.
The more important question is
whether the verdict rendered under
this Indictment which contains no alle-
CATION of violence can be sustained.
| A practically universal rule prevails
that the verdict may be for a lesser
| crime which is included in a greater
| charged in the Indictment. the test be-
| ing that the evidence required to estab-
| fish the greater would prove the lesser
| offence as necessary element. The
| exception was formerly recognized in
| England and some American states
! that in cases where the graver crime
| was Il felony, Il verdict for a misde-
meanor could not be sustained. The
reason assigned was that the criminal
| procedure then existing was less favor
| able to a person indicted for felony
| than for misdemeanor; but the rea-
son has ceased to exist, and cOnse-
quently the exception.
BY statute in this State offences
against lives and persons are defined
which include assault as an element.
and among them the offence charged in
this Indictment The jury could have
rendered n verdict for simple assault
with or without the entry of nolIe
proSeIui as to the intent of killing: and
the intent not being proved that was
the only proper verdict, because vio-
lence the element which distinguishes
assault ana battery from assault is not
alleged. but assault is included in the
offence of assault and battery. ana
judgment may follow for the minor
offence unless the verdict is vitiated by
reason of adding Improperly the words
and battery"
1t is to be observed that the same
penalty and same Judgment apply to
'he one as to the other. and there can
De no reason why these words may not
be regarded rs surpluSage. 1t is not Il
material error. The respondent cannot

JUDGMENT FOR STATE
In kennebec Criminal Case Against
William Henry.

The following reScript was handed
down from the law court. Tuesday. in
the Kennebec case of State VS.. Will
liam Henry:
state of Maine Kennebec county
superior court. State OF Maine VS..
William Henry. Rescript by Pea
body, J.
The respondent was indicted for n
feonous assault with intent to kill.
being armed with n dangerous weapon.
The jury rendered Il verdict of guilty
of assault and battery with Il danger
Gus weapon.
a motion in arrest of judgment was
filed by the respondent for the reason
that the verdict was defective and at
variance with the Indictment: and that
it found the respondent guilty of an
| offence unknown to the laws of this
State, namely, assault and battery
armed with Il dangerous weapon
The motion was overruled by the pre-
siding justice. and the respondent ex-
cepted The attorney for the State
cont ended that the objection being to
| 4 wrong verdict the proper remedy is
not motion in arrest of judgment. but
| 4 motion to have the verdict set aside
and a new trial granted. The rule
which prevails in this State as well as
at common law. is that a motion in ar
rest of judgment can be made, but only
on account of some intrinsic defect ap-
parent on inspection of the record. The
record in this case shows that the YER
diet does not in form follow the indict-
ment, ana consequently judgment must
| be arrested unless such part of the
| verdict as is repugnant to the indict-
ment may he rejected as surplusage.
A Verdict Of assault and battery may
be based upon evidence showing per
| sonal violence under circumstances in
| aggravation or mitigation of the Of
| fence relevant to the penalty which
need not be averred: but their aver
ment in the Indictment would be harm

SUMMARY OF EVENTS.

Further reports received from
Port Arthur at Che Foo confirm
first accounts of Japanese sue
cesses and the gradual reduction
of the Russian Notifications. AL
most daily there are gallant at
tacks by the Japanese and heroic
defense by the Russians. but the
Russian lines are being slowly
forced back, and the defending
garrison is being concentrated with
in the principal Notifications.
A joint commission at ST. Peters,
burg is to pass upon the question
as to what constitutes contraband
of war. This may settle vexing
matter and pacify the British, who
are concerned by the seizures Rus
sian vessels have made.
Japanese have forced a general
retirement of KurOpatkins army
toward Lao Yang, and a general
battle there is expected at almost
any time.
At st. Petersburg there is an un-
confirmed report that Kuroki has
cut the Russian army in two and
has cut Lao Yang off from a di-
rect line of retreat.
