an hour at the Fitzsimmons training

Poor Gate at Northwestern Game
Brings Decrease of 900.

Minneapolis Mimi, Nov. 30.-The
crowd at the Minnesota northwestern
game Saturday was e big disappoint-
ment and again showed the mistake
that the Minnesota athletic authorities
made in playing rf1e biggest game of
the season at such an early date. The
gate receipts at the game Saturday
amounted to $500. Manager Red
stated that the 1905 season netted the
athletic treasury So, 900 less than last
year.
The total gate receipts taken in at
Northrop field this year are $4,000,
leaving $22.O47 for Minnesota. From
this sum the expense of keeping the
football men supplied with gridiron
togs, maintaining a training table, and
keeping the field in good condition is
subtracted. Then there are four
coaches to be paid, as well as the ath-
letic manager and his assistant and a
trainer.

The defendant appeared for arraign-

SAY CHILDREN
WALK TOO FAR
Parents Protest Against EX-
change of Classes in Lick
and Noe Valley Schools
APPEAL TO SUPERVISORS
Committee Asks Board of
Education to Restore Con-
ditions as They Existed

The Supervisors Educational Com
mittee yesterday again heard the pro-
tests of the West of Castro Club and
200 residents against the transfer of
primary classes from the James Lick
School to the Noe Valley School and
the transfer of the grammar classes
of the latter to the former school. The
interchange of classes was the result
of the extraordinary appeal of the
teachers of the James Lick School
made to the Board of Education that
either they or their principal, Albert
| Lyser be transferred to some other
school.
A number of parents Of pupils was
present and voiced opposition to the
action Of the Board of Education,
which they said has resulted in COM
pelling small children to cross two
car lines and travel a long distance
to either of the two schools. They
represented that when the Noe Valley
School was built they were given to
understand that a complete or mixed
course would be installed therein, but
instead the grammar classes had been
withdrawn. The board now declines
to establish a sixth grade.
One mother said her child was
forced to walk five blocks to the
Jd1l6S LICK SCIlOOl. AilOlncI pStI cLl
said his child had to stay at home
for one week owing to the long dis
tance to be travelled in the rain. He
said 1t was not right that a petty
squabble among the teachers should
be the cause of working hardship
on the pupils.
'"The Board of Education Is prac-
| tically keeping us out of our own
school," said another parent. "and
pretty soon we will not be allowed
! to go into our own houses"
| Principal Lyser denied statement
! that a pupil was compelled to pass
| the James Lick School and go to the
| Noe Valley School.
M. Lemaine said that the change
| had been made for the accommoda-
| ton of the teachers and not the pu-
! pills owing to dissensions and lack OF
discipline in the James Lick School
| Chairman Lunstedt ruled the remarks
out of order, saying the only ques-
| ton at issue was the arriving at an
amicable adjustment of the matter.
School Director Boyle said the
change was question purely Of edu-
] cation and not Of finance, 1t being the
policy of the board to establish sep
arate primary and grammar schools
superintendent Langdon said the
board wished to give the people In the
Noe Valley district the best school,

pills, he said. had to walk five blocks

II, 1893, the date the inventory of
the estate was filed, to August IA,
1895, when an order of court reduced
the allowance. Mrs. Bell, before fill
ing the inventory, was receiving $4,000
a month.
In February, 1894, a petition by the
executors was filed asking the reduc-
ton Of the allowance. Later the pc
titiop was dropped from the calendar
and the order was entered. but by
mistake or inadvertence the clerk
neglected to enter an order made at
the same time directing that the al
lowance be continued at $4,000 a
month After January of that year
the executors did not pay the full
amount, representing that the income
of the estate was not sufficient to pay
interest and assessments, which had
to be paid to prevent the forced sale
Of valuable securities. Mrs. Bell con-
sented to this use of the money, but,
believing that the arrearages would be
paid later, she borrowed $4,000 and
used $4,000 from the sale of her sep
arate property to make up the differ

the period of her waiting the execu-
tors paid her $39,334, and when she
petitioned for the balance due she was
