SELLECK COMPLAINS TO SHERIFF
Sends Grant a List of School Absen-
tees With Request to Get

a long sharp stick. Many cases of tru-
ancy have been discovered by Superin
tendent Selleck and he is now about to
make an effort to see that the number
which is now 40, is greatly reduced. He
writes an open letter to Sheriff Grant,
a copy of which is printed below.
North Yakima, Wn, May 5, 1906.
Sheriff r. A. Grant, City,
Dear Sir:-Several of the teachers
and principals have recently told rie
that "A number of their pupils are now
staying out of school without proper
permission or reason, and that quite n
number of these pupils have already
been reported to you as Truant Officer.
have just made the rounds of the
city schools and find the names Of -
such delinquent pupils, and therefore.
report them to you as Truant Officer Of
the district for investigation and com
pulsory attendance.
am sure you will cooperate in GO.
ting these pupils back into school, as
their continued absence is harmful to
themselves and menace to the present
and future welfare of the schools in
general This is particularly true, be-
cause of the fact that some of those
now reported as absent, are not, either
because of some real or supposed trou-
BILE with their teacher or because of a
habit of dropping out at this time Of
year, without any particular reason.
Of course, under the law of compul-
sorry attendance, have the right to ex-
euse any who may present to me valid
and sufficient reason, yet | have given
permission to but one pupil who is now
out of school. This large number of abb
sentees shows either that the people
do not properly understand the law OF
that they are wilfully negligent.
OF this list, those whose names are
checked with star, have been reported
to you before, and hence need your spec
ial attention.
I shall be pleased to get an early re-
port from you and shall expect that
your accustomed diligence will result in
getting these back in their proper place
in school. Very respectfully,
w. +. f. SELLECK.
In addition to sending the letter to the
sheriff, Mr.. Selleck also gives list OF
the truant children, as we'll as their nd
dresses and the schools and rooms tc
which they are accredited.

TRAFFIC COMPACT VOTD.
Tyuap Hands Dorm Decision
4fecting RaiLzoay Interests.

Justice Truax decided in the Supreme Court yes
terday that the traffic agreement made py the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad Company
the St Louis, Memphis and Southeastern railway
Company and the st. Louis and san Francesca
Railroad Company Illegal and in VOCATION oi
the interests of the bondholders of the chicago
and Eastern Illinois road The action to set aslde
the agreement was brought by Gustav r. HisseI
and Susan Raumer, two Of the bondholders VINO
objected to the agreement
Justice Truax says the agreement was INTENDED
to preserve for the benefit of the STOCK
holders until the certificates should have been palo
and that they should until then. have been SUD-
jected to no obligation. A second agreement
which was made on April IA. 1904. was made by
the trustees and the Colonial Trust Company on
behalf of the three railway companies mentio2ed
by which the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company acquired all the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois company's traffic. The st. Louis Memphis
and Southeastern company issued bonds of Sl6ooo-
600 the strength of this agreement.
Justice Truax points out that second obligation
was imposed on the stockholders Of the Chicago
road by this second agreement, which takes prece-
dence over the first one. The second agreement
he saws was not made in good faith and must
be set aside q breach Of contract he dlrects
the traffic agreement to be set ASIDE as unautnof
lied and forbidden by the former agreemenI, anu
as pretudical to the holders Of trust certihcates
and gives Judgment for the plaintiffs. The decision
will save $97O0O0 year for the holders of Chicago
and Eastern Illinois stock.

TRIAL OF CITY OFFICIAL.
Former Filtration Chief Faces Jury
an Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Jan. John w Hill, former
chief of the FILTRATION Bureau. was placed on
trial to-day in the Criminal Court. charged with
forgery and Justification Of the records OF the
Filtration Bureau Mr.. HiITs arrest last June
was one Of the first and most sensational OF
the DEVELOPMENTS growing out OF Mayor
viewers break with. the Republican organiza-
ton and his crusade for good government. the
arrest followed an investigation by former
Judge James Gay Gordon private counsel Tor
the MAYOR. into the system by which contracts
for work ON the filtration plant had peeh
awarded and the manner in which the WORK
was performed.
Mr. Hill vas held in $4,000 bail for trial. A
few DAYS later he was again arrested on
similar charge in connection with another con-
tract and his bail was increased to SlOOUO me
Indictment contained nearly two hundred
counts.
The case has gained widespread notCriety, and
the trial it is thought, will prove one OF the
most notable that has ever engaged the atteh-
ton of a local jury Many Of the witnesses 10
he called are expert engineers.
The iurv was selected with comparatively
little difficulty. District Attorney Bell opened
tbe case f,~ the commonwealth. and told in
seouence the events leading up to the arrest OF
tIil He told of his employment by the city, at
q salary first of Sc. 0G0 and later OF SIH0OO, as
chief of the filtration bureau, and Sald thdt ne
vas charged not with offence against an m
dividual but with wrOnging the city OF Phlla-
daInhia Mr. Hills first duty, said Mt Bell, was
to look after the structural work connected with
tba development of the filtration system.
"FIis second duty" said Mr. Bell, dealt
largely. with the financial features OF the work.
