BOY SMOKERS AROUSE
THE SCHOOL BOARD
Will Prosecute Any Who Sell
Cigarettes 10 Pupils Mere
1oddIerS Affected.
LACK OF ROOM SERIOUS

The alarming number of pupils
found to be cigarette smokers of the
habltual type caused Superintendent
Shull to lay the matter strongly be-
fore the school board last night and
the commissioners adopted a motion
that they will prosecute vigorously
anyone found selling them to pupils.
Mr. Bradley said that they should
take a decided stand. and the rest
of the board agreed with him.
Superintendent Shull declared that
the conditions are very bad and there
are 90 pupils at school No. 5 and ~
at NO. who are known to be cigar
ette fiends, some of them only five
and six years old. Many of them buy
the tobacco and papers separately,
while others purchase them singly or
In packages. Still others hang
around dance halls and other places
to gather stubs. The effects of this
habit are noted in the pupils man
ners, slovenly gait and twitching mus
cles.
More Room Sorely Needed.
How the law is being violated in
the local schools by having more
children than the rooms can properly
accommodate, was told by the super
intendent. The two portable school
rooms are full and one has more pu-
pills than seats. There are "A rooms
with over so children, while other
cities cry out If they are forced to
put 35 or 40 in one ROOM The law
Is being violated especially at school
No. 6. The roome are 20 25 x12
feet, containing $500 cubic feet.
The law requires 200 cubic feet
for each pupil, which would allow 33
in each classroom, yet school No 6
has nine rooms containing from 81
to IA, and No. has eight such
rooms. --
Mr. Shull said that they could not
do anything to relieve the situation
and the members asserted that, If
two new schools We're built, they
would be filled at once. Mr.. Shull
said they could put the responsibility
where it belongs. Mr.. Arner voiced
the sentiment that the cost of re-
building the city hall might have
been used to relieve the schools
Superintendent Shull gave the re-
suits of the physical examinations of
the pupils, according to state order.
There have been 1,716 examined
here, and the number behind grade
is: boys, 314; girls, ia.

Of the court, Mr.. Jerome is evidently
OF the opinion that the cross.examina

actual events associated with the trag.

From the questions which have SO
nersistently been put to the talesmen
by Thaw's attorneys as to any preju'

is at least generally conceded that u
plea of emotional insanity will be the
main reliance of the young defendant

Thaw seemed to be In the best of

Forty tolesmen had been examined in

in the court room, including the de-
PENDANT himself was waiting listlessly
for the hour of adjournment to arrive
when Bernard Gerstman. who said he
was a manufacturers agent, declared
he had no such opinion of the case
that would prevent his rendering a

not preiadiced against any line of de-

But suggested the District Attor.
ney. would you go further than that
and require the State to remove every
possibility of doubt?"
II would certainly want every doubt
removed" replied Gerstman, before
would vote to convict in a capital
case"
The district attorney challeged the
juror for cause.
Thaw's attorneys were not content
to let the talesman so. and on cross
examination they brought his answers
within the legal requirements, Mr..

glances. Rumors were in circulation
throughout the day that one, and posi-
bly, two more Jurors were to be ex.

were several conferences Of the at
torneys and 1t was stated that Thaw's
counsel positively refused to consent
to any further removals. The days
events bore out this statement. Al
the noon recess, Mr.. Jerome made an
other unsuccessful effort to gain his
end.
Until the excitement tending Il.
