WILL RESIGN
AS PRINCIPAL
Elisha Brooks Will Retire
as Head of the Girls High
School at End of the Term

Professor Elisha Brooks. principal OF
the Girls High School, definitely an
nounced to the Board of Education yes
terday that he would resign his posi-
tion at the end of the present school
term. The resignation will take effect
on the date of the opening of the next
school term or on some day in July,
though Brooks says he Will retire at
any time his successor is appointed.
1t has been known for several months
that Professor Brooks contemplated
severing his connection with the public
School Department, in which he has
faithfully served for many years. He
intends to retire TO his ranch in Ben
Lomond for the remainder Of his years
Now that it is known that Professor
Brooks will resign several educators
have already begun to present their
claims for the position, which pays $3.50
per month and carries with it a prac-
tical life tenure.
School Director Mark is one of the
candidates for the place and believes
himself we'll qualified for it from an
executive point of view. Mark is of
the opinion that his colleagues will
vote for him. but he has a strong COM
petitor in Richard d. Faulkner. al pres
ent principal of the Franklin Grammar
School.
Among other candidates for the prin-
cipalshiD are Charles H Ham, head
of English and history in the Poly
technic High School; j. j. Gallagher,
head of classics in the Lowell High
School; Principal Scott Of the Alameda
High School; w. n. Bush. principal of
the Polytechnic High School; Albert
NJ Armstrong, head of classics in the
Mission High School. In all likelihood
the crop of candidates will be largely
increased before the appointment is
made.
Owing to the Importance of the po-
sition action will not be taken by the
Board of Education until next May or
June Mayor Schmitz will be large
factor in the selection of the man, as
School Directors Roncovieri, Walsh and
Boyle would no doubt be guided therein
by the one to whom they owe their own
political advancement.

DOVER OFFICIALS ALARMED.

DOVER, Del, March 23.-County
officials are alarmed over the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of the death certifi-
cate of Mrs. John P. Dunning, for
whose murder Mrs. Cordelia Botkin is
now being tried in California. Addi-
tonal search made to-day disclosed
the fact that the certificate of Mrs.
Joshua d. Deane's death, a sister of
Mrs. Dunning. who was also killed by
the poisoned candy. was missing from
the county archives. The disappear
ance of the certificate of Mrs. Deane
has baffied the corps of lawyers who
have been searching the offices for
the two certificates. The. certificate, it
is alleged. would refute the testimony
of Coroner w. j. Walls who is said to
be star witness for Mrs. Botkin.
The disappearance of the death GER
tificates is regarded as most mys-
terious circumstances, especially in
view of recent report from San Fran
cisco that the defense in the Botkin
trial proposed to demand that the
prosecution present proof of the death
of Mrs. Dunning and of the manner
of her death. Those certificates stated
that the two women died of arsenical
poisoning and they were signed by
Coroner Walls. 1t is reported, how
ever. that an affidavit by the Coroner
will be offered stating that he was in
formed by his physicians that death
was due to cholera morbus.

from the others. or course there ~ not
much room for any alarming number OF
novelties even In new bnSitsh play,
but there n an earnestness evident all
through the production and certain
evenness too often lacking In such plays.
Again the wickedness, which Is OF the
real deep kind Is relieved by some ia-
stances of rectitude and some good com
edy, and good comedy makes for right
eousness.
The play offers views of different phases
OF English life. and that of course helps
greatly 10 keep the interest OF the audi
ence ever keen. There IL some good
scenery. and best OF all the company is

pleasantly passed.

Of a noted adventures, who secures en-
ployment In the house of a rich merchant

turess is resourceful and wins the love OF

latter has a daughter and the adventures
