HOUSEKEEPING CHARGED.
Two Men Held Under Bonds in the
Police Court

In the arrest of Marshal Tyson and
James I. Hebron. in Georgetown yesterday,
the police authorities believe that they have
captured the responsible parties in several
cases of housebreaking which have been re-
ported in Georgetown recently. Up to the
present time only one case has been placed
against them but the police are working
to identify them with the other jobs which
they are believed to have done. They
not unknown to the police authorities In
this lne.
Tyson and Hebron were taken into the
Police Court this morning and arraigned on
a charge of breaking into the house OF
Officer Peterson of the seventh precinct sta
ton. They pleaded not guilty. Judge
O'Neal. after hearing the evidence. held
them both for the grand jury. 1t was rep
resented to him by Assistant District At
torney Given that Tyson is connected with
other cases and In his case bond was fixed
a; 5000. In the case Of Hebron bond was
fixed at $1,000. Both were committed to
action of the grand Jury.
Officer Peterson testified that some one
had forced open a back window in his
house at Zs10 II street northwest several
days ago and taken his revolver and some
money from his little sons bank. The boy
took the stand and told of catching the
burglar In the house and of seeing him flee.
He identified Tyson as the man. Tyson is
also thought to be connected with the rob-
engaged in conversation with one man,
while another took a package Of laundry
In another case house was entered and
some jeweIry was taken. Efforts are being
made to connect these defendants with
these crimes.

SECRETARY TAFT'S PARTY.
After Spending Yesterday at Honolulu
It Left for Yokohama.

Capt. Mcintyre, acting chief of the in
sular bureau of the War Department, mas
received a cable message from Col. Ed
wards, saying that Secretary TAFT ana
marty spent Yesterday at Honolulu, leaving
in the evening for Yokohama. He says
that all the members of the party are well
and that Mr. and Mrs. Charles f. Joy of
St Louis did not accompany the party
from San Francisco as was expected.
No mention is made in Col. Edwards
message regarding the reported disappear
ance of Walter Sullivan, but that is prob
ably explained by the fact that while Mr..
Sullivan was passenger on the Manchuria
he was not a member of Secretary Tafts
immediate party. Mr.. Sullivan was born IN
October, 1881 in San Antonio, Tex, where
his father, Daniel Sullivan, is engaged in
the banking business. The young man
spent two years at the Georgetown Uni
yersity and entered Yale in the junior year
of his class, graduating in June, 1903 He
was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fra
ternity and left for the Philippines with
party of friends.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
A Special Meeting Will Be Held Early
Next Week

1t may be stated positively that special
meeting of the board of education will be
called early next week, j. Holdsworth Cor
don, the president having communicated to-
day with most of the members. The board
will take up the case of Principal Swart
zel of the Eastern High School and will
give due consideration to the wishes of
President Roosevelt. as communicated to
Commissioner Mcfarland by Secretary
Loeb
Among the members of the board who are
absent from the city is Mrs. Henry l..
West. but it is expected that she will be
home Sunday night or Monday morning in
time to be present at the meeting.
She is in Westmoreland county. Va, the
county seat of which cannot be reached by
telegraph, and the mails are also irregular.
Mrs. West has from the inception of the
consideration of the disposition of Principal
Swartzell vigorously opposed the transfer
of Mr.. Wilson from the Central to the East
ern High School, and has announced her in
tention of voting against the proposed trans
fer. if such motion should be made before
the board Her position in the matter
based upon what she believed to be the best
interest of the schools and without consul
tation with Commissioner West, although
it is known that the latter is also of the
opinion that it would be mistake to trans
fer Mr.. Wilson. Commissioner West has, of
course, taken no part in the controversy,
other members of the board of education,
either directly or indirectly.
In addition to this, he has replied to nu-
merous letters upon the subject which he
has received, stating that the question was
one within the jurisdiction of the board of
education and therefore he did not feel
that he ought to participate in the matter.
An Interesting phase of the question is the
fact that when the proposed transfer of
Principal Wilson was first suggested in the
board of education Mr.. and Mrs. West de-
cided that If M. Wilson taken away
from the Central High School they would
no longer send their daughter to the Cen
trail where she has been a student for two
years, but would send her either TO the
Eastern High School, where she could be
under Mr.. Wilson's supervision, or to the
Western High School. under Miss Westcott.
Commissioner West has received many let
ters from personal and official friends pro-
testing against the proposed transfer. but
does not feel himself at liberty to make
public the names of the writer's.
