noses to try to bring about a reorganization

fore the board have shown the necessity Ior
a change, and he will In a few days intro

In the present arrangements.
For ten years I was a trustee Of the pub
lie schools of New York. and have always
taken a deep interest in the educational
work In the District" said the New York
representative. 81 believe there Is great
deal of room for Improvement, and my bill
Is simply aimed to remedy any evils that
may exist. In the first place, my bill con-
sation. There are any number Of public
spirited citizens who Will be only too glad
to render their services for the glory or the
thing. The present compensation IS $40 q
meeting.
Again. 1 believe there should be nine
members Of the board instead OF seven as
at present constituted. The board should
consist, and my bill will make provision &C
cordingly of six men and three women. OF
the entire board three shall be colored.
There are now two women out of seven

SLAYER GOT RICH BOOTY.
Wealthy Woman Brutality Murdered at
Asbury Park.

AeuOIy 3aTha
Mrs. NORTH Natal. one OF the wealthiess
women In Asbury Park, was found slain
In her home there yesterday, in a manner
go brutal that the entire population was
reused to a white heat Of indignation.
She had been bound and choked to death.
her jeweiry torn from her and the house
ransacked. The mysterious part of 1t Is
that the invader attacked her at high noon
and entered and left the large apartment
house. where five other families live beside
the Naftals, without any one detecting him
The aged woman was alone in her apart
ments after her husband went to his bust
ness in New York. Her four sons. all pros
porous business men in that city, planned
to have family reunion and jollification
during the holidays, and the old couple
had talked of 1t just before the husband
left the house yesterday morning.
In her room Mrs. Natal was found, face
downward, on bed, dead. Her hands and
feet had been bound and a feather tick
piled on top of her. One corner of the tick
had been stuffed into her mouth. Death
was due to suffocation.
The diamond earrings had been torn from
her ears. The thief did not even wait
to unclasp them. Diamond rings she had
always worn had been pulled from her
broken.
Her jewelry box had been rifled and ap-
parently every article of value taken.
1t Is supposed that the burglar and muir
derer had also secured a large sum OF
money. as 1t was the known custom OF
both Mr.. and Mrs. Natal to carry large
sums about with them before depositing
them in the local bank.
The total booty secured by the thief Is
estimated at several thousands of dollars.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR TROUBLES.
Order to Be Signed, but
No Receiver Appointed.

Justice Anderson in Equity Court No. l,
today rendered his decision In the case of
Joseph r. Mansion and Patrick r. Farrell
against John w Hayes and eleven others,
including the Order of the Knights Of La
Dor, Incorporated. The suit was flied for
the purpose of having a receiver appointed
TO take charge of all the property and as
sets of the corporation; to have the court
designate some person for the purpose of
calling a meeting of the general assembly
of the Order of the knights Of Labor to
elect general officers, or. n the alternative,
to require the individual defendants to cali
a meeting of the general assembly and for
the purpose of securing certain fnjunctlve
relief
that he will sign a restraining order to re-
main in force until further order granting
intunctive relief. The order will restrain
the defendants. for the time being, from in
any wise embarrassing or changing the
status quo by mutilating or destroying rec
ords, calling a general assembly to effect
a change OF parties to the controversy and
receiving and disbursirg funds without
keeping accurate books of account cover
ing the same
The court remarked that to appoint a re-
ceiver of all the records and property OF
the Knights of Labor or to interfere with
their receipt of the mail pending the de-
termination of the pending question OF who
are the officers would be to stagnate its
affairs and prevent the defendants from
exercising the ordinary functions of the
offices to which they claim title.

ONLY A CONFERENCE.
House Republicans to Discuss the
Statehood Outlook.

The House republicans will meet in con-
ference this afternoon after adjournment
on the Hamilton statehood BILL It had been
the intention to hold caucus this after
noon, but Representative Tawney, the new
~ appointed chairman of the House appro-
priatons committee, gave the proposition
a black eye by refusing to sign the caucus
call and refusing to attend the caucus or
be bound by its decision.
Consequently the advocates Of separate
statehood took considerable heart as a re-
suit of this attitude and 1t was finally de-
cfded to hold a conference, the decision
Of which will not be binding.
This indicates that the opposition to adj
mission Of New Mexico and Arizona as a
single state will solidify and present a
stronger front than was expected
Senator Foraker. 1t Is understood, has con-
siderable backing from western and coast
interests in his opposition to this half OF the
Hamilton statehood proposition.
Although the friends of the Hamilton bill
undoubtedly prevail In the conference the
conference Itself, as was stated, will not
be binding, and opposition may develop
later In an unknown quantity.
