afternoon to a Star reporter by Superin-

Considerable interest Is being manifested
in school circles as to whom the superin-
tendent will recommend for the position
of supervising pr nc,pal of the thirteenth
division. made vacant by the dismissal of
F. L. CardoZo last Wednesday. He was
asked yesterday afternoon whether he had
selected any one for the place, and he re-
piled that he had not done SO.
Il may decide to combine the thirteenth
division with another of the colored divi-
sions," the superintendent said, land thus
make it unnecessary to appoint a success
sor Another plan would be to promote
some one in the service. 1 have also thought
of putting DIR. Montgomery In that posi-
ton and naming a new assistant superin-
tendent."
As to Cardozo Case.
Superintendent Chancellor was asked re-
garding the rumor that Mr. Cardozo in
tends to take his case to court. He replied
that he did not see what Mr.. Cardozo
would do in court.
The superin .endent was asked whether in
his opinion the school law requires that
meetings CT the board for the considera-
ton of matters pertaining to the dismissal
of employees should secret.
They should be secret" he replied, for
the sake of the employe who is being ex-
amned. 1t is much better to keep cases
of this kind from the public notice. for
the reason that general publicity often in
jures the reputation of an innocent person.

rate Of movement Is extremely slow. The
probabilities at present are that it will re-
main in about its present position for the

TEN DETECTIVES CAN'T KEEP
THEM FROM RAPPING.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, October 20.-Wild excitement
and terror prevail in fashionable Engle-
wood; for the suburb has haunted house
and a ghostly inhabitant. There have
been police Investigations with the flourish
Ing and shooting of firearms and an abun-
dance Of thrills and chills, and the virtue
of illumination to drive away evil spirits
has been tried, but the troublesome spooks
that for the last two weeks have been max
Ing almost nightly visits to the residence Of
DR.. Lourine L. Hall, 6546 Marshfield avenue,
have become more bold and reckless through
all this Under the noses Of ten detectives,
Lieutenant Crane and half a dozen citizens
and Doctor Halls family last night. the
spooks kept up their mysterious rappings.
For three nights the watchfulness Of police
and citizens has failed to daunt the
spooks. The whole west side Of Engle-
wood is on the verge Of an epidemic of
shudders The facts are these. Two weeks
ago the family of Doctor Hall, during his
absence, was frightened by loud and re-
peated knocking, first at the front door,
then at the side window, and SO on around
the house. AT least ten tlmeS the rapplnS
was repeated. After Doctor Hall reached
home about 10 o'clock 1t ceased. doctor
scoffed at our stories of knockings," said
Mrs Hall last night. Next night he was
home and the rappings continued. We tried
every means possible to find the cause and
failed. Some nights the knocking was
omitted then again 1t would return. am
no believer in ghosts and would care moth
ing about the matter. but 1t has worked
on the children's nerves until am anxious
for their sake
IT don't know-there! hear that noise?"
And one couldn't help hear 1t. 1t was the
same old knocking, three times, firmly on
the front door.
Upon opening the door, detectives gathered
from all corners of the yard. They, too,
had heard the sound, but declared that no
one had approached or left the house.
Searchlights proved that there were no Sc
cret devices by which the noises could be
made The house, which Is nearly new. is
surrounded by high fence and much
shrubbery in a small yard and is in the
direct rays of street arc light.
Its the plainest case Of spooks 1 ever
had anything to do with, and l can offer
no explanation" said Lieutenant Crane.

doned and an entirely new structure cross
ing the river at different point will be

the iron work will take a long. time for
completion. the bridge will be from LOCO
to 1000 feet In length.
