the home of Mr.. Floyd
mt. just below the village,
ANS members of the advisory
board are earnestly requested to
meet~sith the executive board to
formulate plans for a building,
selecting a faculty, obtaining f.
n&nces ETC., for it IS the intention
of the board to have the "Math-
eYs High School" open on the
first Monday in September. and
the time for this work is all too
short. Parents having sons and
daughters who are ready 1or a
high school need not send them
to the cities where the board is
high, dress extravaganza, tempta-
tons manifold and rwhere they
will be home only once during the
session. Just GIVE us chance,
advance us some of the extra en-
pense im the shape of several
shares of stock, and then patron
ize our high school. We will
then be enabled to have such a
school as Mathews may be proud
of and old Gloucester patronize,
because she has none like it. You
will then have the pleasure of
your children S company on Sat-
urday and Sunday, for there is no
point in the county not accessible
to the Court House.
After the executive and advis-
airy boards have held their meet
ing next Friday afternoon and
have formulated their plans for
the work, it is our purpose to
have another educational meet
ing and we wish the people of
Mathews to turn out en- ~maassssee;;
not to hear fine speakers this time
but to give Is your support and
to~knd out what you are expected
to do i'll helping carry on this
Work. We look upon it as the
Sacred duty of each and every cit
tizen of Mathews, whether he is
directly interested in the schools
or not, to lend his aid to this
work. The improvement in edu-
cational affairs along the lines
we propose will be an untold adj
vantage to every citizen in the
county, and we hope there will
be no difficulty in securing your
hearty cooperation.

Pres. Eek. Board.

Public School Tax remains to be
seen after the county authorities
have been interviewed; but the
educational board has decided
that the 4e1o,ois in the lower
grades must be improved, and we
appeal to the men of Mathews,
as unit. to give US, by your vote
and your influence, an increase of
the School Tax sufficient to sup
port a nine months session, and
better salaries for better teachers.
You will not regret it. for we have
decided to put our time and ener-
gy on this work and make it sue
coed, providing we can induce the
citizens to give us financial sup
port.
The lack of educational advan-
fages in good old Mathews has
beep the means of depriving her
of many good citizens and has
caused many hundreds of dollars
to be sent away for educational
purposes. when her sons and
daughters should have been edu-
Gated at home.
Now, in the light of this new
century, it is time for the citizens
of Mathews to arouse themselves
and put a stop to this by taking a
bold stride forward along the line
of progress.
In addition to the executive
board. the committee saw fit. aft

The twins are needed for the first act

WITH PLUMBER ON HIM
Frank Wingard, an Old offender, Is
Arrested Shortly After Commit
ting DAYLIGHT Crime.

Frank Wingard, an old offender,
was arrested Tuesday afternoon by
Detectives Wren and Dinan for bur-
glary. The detectives saw Wingard
standing on the corner of Powell and
Ellis streets with a valise and a pack
age in his possession. Recognizing
him as an old offender. they ques-
toned him as to the contents of the
valise. His reply not being satisfac-
tory, he was taken to the Central po-
lice station. The valise was searched
and it was found to contain jewelry,
including a pearl necklace. a diamond
pin and other valuable articles. A
clock worth $50 was in the package.
Wingard was forced to CONFESS, and
he said he had taken the articles from
room in the Cosmopolitan Hotel, at
Fifth and Mission streets. In the
evening Mrs. Lukov of the hotel re-
ported at the police headquarters and
told of the robbery.
Wingard admitted that he had just

KNOCKS A PRESS AGENT
UNCONSCIOUS WITH A BLOW
John World. Vaudeville Performer,
Resents Alleged Slight of Wife
i'm Newspaper Notices.


The performance OF THE Burgomas-
ed on a recent evening by an alterca-
ton between Gerald Dillon, press agent
of the theater, and John World, vau-
deville actor, which ended in a blow
that rendered Dillon unconscious for
several minutes. World, who is the
husband of Miss Mindell Kingston, a
new soubrette engaged for the produc-
ton, accused Dillon of purposely
omitting to mention his wife in his
press notices. Dillon replied that he
did not know of Miss Kingston's en-
gagement until last Thursday, after
he had sent his notices to the papers.
World told Dillon he lied and the lat
ter repeated that he was not aware
that Miss Kingston was a member of
the company until it was too late to
make the announcement in the pa
pers.
World, who had worked himself
into a state of great excitement, there
upon advanced upon Dillon, who had
his hands in his pockets and did not
suspect that he was going to be at
tackled. World struck Dillon on the
bridge of the nose with his clenched
fist and Dillon fell to the floor uncon-
scious. Confusion reigned among the
members of the company, some of
whom rushed to administer restora-
tives to Dillon, while others hustled
World from the scene. Dillon re-
vived after a few minutes but has
not fully recovered from the blow yet.
He is considering the advisability of
having World arrested for his cow
ardly attack.

W. P. Adams Disappears
Mysteriously With a Large
! Sum of Money OH Person

Promises to Return at Noon
and Make Ready for Trip
to Home in Massachusetts,

w. P. Adams, travelling salesman
for the Walkover Shoe Company, left
his apartments. ,720A Union street, yes
terday morning at o'clock with the in
tention of purchasing tickets for him
self and wife for Portland, and not
having been seen since, Mrs Adams
fears he has met with foul play, espe-
cially since he had large amount of
cash in his possession.
Adams not being a drinking man
adds to the probability that something
serious has befallen him. He had 5000
in coin, $1,000 in greenbacks, three drafts
on local banks calling for between $500
and $1,000, a bank book with $4,000 to
his credit and a gold watch and chain.
He came from Los Angeles two weeks
ago. E. W. Moffitt and wife keep the
house where the .Adamses are living.
Moffitt called at the Emergency Hospi-
tai last night in search of the man, who
had planned to go to Portland on the
o'clock train last night.
Mrs. Adams is prostrated over the
sudden disappearance of her husband.
She is sickly woman, and her spouse
brought her here from their home in
Brockton, Mass, for her health. The
AdamseS have been married six years
and the wife says they never had a
single quarrel during that time.
Adams was 80 years old, thick set
and weighing about 165 pounds. He
had gray hair and his face was clean
shaven.. He wore an emblem of the
Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen
of the World. He was attired in a gray
suit of clothes and black derby hat.

terday to hear the argument in the
big case They were not disappointed.
Attorney William Rix Of the firm Of
Bishop. Wheeler & HoeffIer, opened
the argument on behalf of the contest
ants and D. NJ. Delmas occupied the af-
ternoon with an exposition of the con-
tentions of the proponents of the tes-
lament. Rix' has the style of the es-
sayist; he cuts clean and close to the
line. without effort at dramatic effect
Delmas, noted for his oratorical abil-
ity crowned each point of law and
fact with wreath of rhetorical bios
SONS and the intense interest of his
audience evidenced its appreciation of
his efforts.
Rix attacked the will from every
standpoint. He assaulted it's Justice
and assailed its legality because it was
evolved from an unsound mind 1t
should fall, he said. because it assumed
a condition existed that did not exist :;
that the contestants had been reward
ed through assignment of a division of
property between the testator and his
wife, their mother. This condition, he
said; did not prevail, and by denying
the contestants their rightful share in
the estate the testator had enriched
one child at the expense of others-a
condition unnatural and Illegal
Mr.. Delmas based his main attack on
the rights of the contestants upon the
position occupied by Emily C. Yoell.
widow of the testator, who, at the time
of her separation from j. Alexander
Yoell, was given by him one-half of
his estate. 1t Is she, Mr.. Delmas said.
who is in fact the contestant of the
will, though her children appear as the
contestants of record. He said.
This man who has now passed away was
driven from his home by these people, driven
years and driven from the shade of the sweep
ing trees of his Santa Clara Valley home he
loved SO well. At the time of this occurrence
the office OF an attorney. There agreement
was drawn up by the terms of which this old
man surrendered one-half of the estate he hao
accumulated through thrift and industry. Un-
der the terms of this contract Mrs. Yoell
agreed to care for and maintain her children
OF this agreement Mrs. Yoell bound herself in
solemn, manner not to seek to control in any
manner the estate remaining in the hands OF
ner husband and she surrendered all right and
title to- the same.
However. the fact stands that 1t is she

When J. Alexander Yoell gave to his wife
one-half Of his estate at the time Of thei,
separation and she agreed to care for hel
children: he absolved himself from future re-
sponsibilfty, and the fact stands that wher
this agreement signed he had done hi,
fuil duty toward these heirs that now seek Il
SCI aside his will. and in full justice they
have no claim against his estate. They have
ALREADY been provided for.
The argument probably will end to-

DELAYS RETURN OF TAXES
PAID ON SPECIAL LEVY
Point Raised That Amendment AZ
fects Only Those Who Protested
Worries Auditor Baehr

An anonymous correspondent hav-
ing raised the point yesterday that the
recent constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the return of the taxes paTd
in for the special levy for schools and
hospital in 1902 is designed to afford
relief only to those who have protest
ed and brought suit against the city
was the cause of Auditor Baehr's sub
mitting the question to his legal ad-
wiser for an opinion. If the point is
correct it will necessitate the filing Of
protests and the bringing of suits for
the return of the taxes. Baehr thinks
the matter of sufficient Importance TO
delay the issuing Of demands for the
return of the taxes paid. He will con-
tinue to prepare the demands, but
will not distribute them until the legal
question has been settled to his sat-
iSfactiOn.
