THE POLICE COURT.
Boys Get Into Mischief When Hidine
 On the Truant Officer.

On the Truant Officer.
 But for the kind disposition of Martin H. Brennan. president of the E. J. Manville Machine O.. the four boys charged with taking and de- stroying $244 worth of belting would have been severely dealt with in the city court to-day by Judge Burpee. The boys. Philip and Albert Jarvis, Is and 10 years, respectively, and Zedoque Perrault. Is, and Louis Payeur, 12, got into the unoccupied factory of the company on Meadow street last Friday to hide from the truant officer, and seeing a hatchet on the floor attacked the belting and plumbing with 1t. They destroyed the main belt, worth $120; thirty eight feet of six-inch belting, worth $39; thirty-two feet of eight-inch belting. worth $40. and forty-three feet of six-inch double belting worth s45, total $244. About y100 worth of the belting was recovered by the police in the home of Perrault, which 10 VII ooutu Nldiu StICcls Uul W82 cut up into strips of four or i've feet.
 The boys were represented by Att torneys Guilfoile and Devine, who said they all have good homes and good friends who were willing to make good the moral obligations of the case, and that President Bren- nan did not wish the court to be hard on them. Sentence was suspended in the case of Payeur and the other cases were continued a week, the court remarking that the evidence and the cases were of such nature that he would have to take some time to consider them.
 Henry Phurr, foreman lineman for the Consolidated Railway Co, was charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. He got on a Nauga- tuck car at Bristol switch yesterday afternoon and took a seat along side girl. the only other passenger in the car. The girl resented his pres- ence. but Phurr was insistent and she finally had to give him the entire seat. Russell Carley, the conductor. asked the man to let the girl alone, and this brought on a row. Phurr got one under the left eye from Car ley that will remind him of the incl dent for some time. Furthermore, he was fined $7 and costs. Carley was not hurt.
 Peter Patchulis met an acquaint- ance in a saloon in the Brooklyn dis trict last evening. They had some words about something which did not come out in the hearing. Patchulis's coat was considerably torn. so was his shirt. and he said the TOW began with his friend. whose name was not given. His friend had a bad eye and a cut that required two stitches. The court said if PatchuIis's story was treu the complainant ought to be ar rested and he continued the case to tomorrow morning in order to give Patehulis time to get witnesses.

IDU(ATICN BOARD
Special Provision win Be Mad .
 For Backward Children.

At the meeting of the board of edu- cation last evening Commissioner Monagan brought to the attention of the board very important matter. It was that in both the private as well as the public schools there are
 some pupils who will not or cannot be made to learn and he thought 1t
 the duty of the board to make some provision for these pupils by which they shall not be cast upon the world with scarcely enough education to write their names. These pupils. he said, are pushed along by their teach- CTS until they reach certain grade or are kept in school until they are 15 or 16 years of age and are then supposed to graduate. There is no other way of getting rid of them. | because the authorities have made no provision for taking care of such pu- pills. It was the commissioners idea that room be set apart for such
 pupils where teacher can give them special attention. This suggestion
 met with the appreciation of the
 board and the matter was referred to the commissioners and Superinten- dent Tinker.
 Burton c. Bryan. president of the Fourth National bank, communicate { ed to the board to the effect that as the bank owns property on three sides of the old South Brooklyn school lot 1t was willing to buy 1t. The matter was referred to committee. Commissioner Chapman complain- ed that s. z. Poli ought to be com- municated with to the effect that on school days crowds of children stay out of school in order to attend mati- nees. Commissioner Chapman did not think that MT Poli would permit children to do this if he were aware of it. Commissioner Phelan inform ed the board that it is against the law to allow minors in public places of amusement unless accompanied by their guardians. The matter went over.
 Miss Mary Abbott, teacher in Crosby school. was given leave of ab- sence from February 22 for the bal- ance of the year.
 An application for an appointment in kindergarten teaching from Miss Bertha l.. Spencer was filed, and similar disposition was made of an application from Ella Osgood Peck. . former teacher. Her name was placed on the list of substitutes.
 Janitor Kelly of Crosby and Jani- tor Lonergan of Clay street school applied for increase in their salaries. Clerk of Supplies Mitchell asked for an increase of $10O a year. He is now paid $750. All were tabled.
 The bids for the contracts for the school supplies for the year were then opened and action deferred un- til the next meeting. whereupon the board adjourned.

SRooKLYR BRfETs.

Last night one of the cars on Bank street was showed in for more than an hour.
 Where was Hans Rasmussen last evening that he was not at the business mems banquet, to listen to his old friend Charley Colley? Hans would undoubtedly have enjoyed the affair.
 The dinkies found the going along Bank street to-day rather soft consequently they got embedded of ten and made very poor time. Even the snow plough found 1t difficult go- ing along Bank street and q couple of times the men operating it had to get out and shovel the snow so that the car might continue it's journey. Sand had very little effect upon the tracks apparently while salt did not seem to bring about much better re- suits. The snow plough reached the center shortly after il o'clock after being in Brooklyn about 5 hours.
 The eighteenth anniversary of the Brooklyn Athletic club will be celebrated at the rooms of the or ganization on Bank street on Friday evening. During the past year the membership of the society has in- creased materially and the clubs treasury is now in much better con- dition than it was a year ago. On Friday evening the program will con. sist of musical and vocal selections, a few brief addresses, dancing and re. treatments.
 Although the politicians of this section have no candidate in the field for the assessorship, at no time se- riously contemplated making fight for the position yet there is much in terest manifested in the contest which is being waged between the fifth ward men. In Brooklyn the opinion of those who claim to know would lead one to believe that Tim othy Carmody is now in the lead al- though Dillane's friends are reluctant to admit that Dillane is likely to be defeated. John Healey the latest candidate in the race for the asses sors berth is well known in Brook lyn and is considered good man for the position.
 Several socialists from this sec ton attended q gathering in Room % Platt building last evening. where they were addressed by Herman Hurwich and Joseph Bernstein. The speakers knew their subject thor oughly and pointed out to their au- dience the advantages which they think can be gained under socialistic rules. The meeting was very order ly and was nothing like the gathering which was held by the Lithuanians in the hall on Green street about six weeks ago when the speaker of the evening was almost mobbed. The meeting was called for the purpose of advocating the socialistic doc trines, but the leaders grew faint hearted with the result that the members were not treated with sO- cialistic utterances and trouble brewed immediately. The men who conducted last nights gathering were we'll pleased with the attendance and are of the impression that socialism in this city is growing.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Received Petition 10 Abate Nuis- ance From Burning Soft Coal.

The board of aldermen met last night. Chairman Filling presiding. A communication was read from At torney Clohessey, counsel for Thomas E. and J. J. Derwin, stating that dam age will be claimed for loss caused on account of surface water from city property flowing onto land belonging to his clients. The matter was re- ferred to the department of public works
 On motion of Alderman Lawlor, South street was added to the list of streets on which coasting is allowed.
 The following recommendations of the board of public works were ap- proved: That hearings be author ized regarding the establishment of a grade and layout on Washington avenue between South Wilson street and Highland avenue; that Tracy avenue from Piedmont street to the Pearl Lakes road be laid out; that hearings be authorized regarding the establishment of building lines on Eden street from Baldwin street to Tracy avenue; that building lines be established on Cooke street from North Main to Grove streets. A list of 2,215 persons against whom pole tax is levied, but the collector cannot find them, was submitted by ex-Col- lector Hunt, asking that the tax be abated. The matter was referred to the committee on abatements. A few petitions for new work were re- ferred to the board of public works.
 A petition signed by H. D. Hallock ct al asking for abatement of a nuisance caused by the burning of soft coal at the Connecticut hotel and the American office, was received.
 The board adjourned for two weeks.

DAUGHTERS IN SESSION.
Interesting Meeting and Some Excel
 lent Speeches Were Made.

The meeting of Melicent Porter chapter, D. A. R., which took place in the parlors of the Second Congre- gational church yesterday afternoon
 was largely attended and was one of the most interesting sessions held by that body in some time. The place was tastefully decorated by American
 flags and presented a cheerful ap- pearance. About fifty persons were in attendance. The hostesses were Mrs A. F. Els, the Misses Porter, Miss Ida Lewis and Miss Lillian Dav- |enport. The program was in charge of Mrs G. L. Dexter, Mrs Frederick Stevens and Mrs J. V. Reed. The toastmistress. Mrs Emily Shannan. made some bright allusions to the different speakers according as they came forward. which was greatly ap- Ipreciated. The toasts included the following: "The First American" Miss Constance Dubois; "Our Fore mothers" Mrs o. w. Noble; "Our Chapter" Mrs D. F. Webster: "The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion," Mrs B. H. Bristol; 'The Lines That Draw Us Together" Miss Mar tha c. Wells; Our Flag" Miss Lil- Han Davenport. Some of the speak CTS, notably Mrs Bristol, called atten- tion to the marvellous changes in the manners and customs of the Ameri- can people during the past fifty years. She wondered what our grand mothers would say if they could call around to-day and find women folks whirling around in automobiles. seeking positions as factory inspec- tors, featuring on Dante and so on. Mrs o. w. Noble also drew some good pictures of the past and putting them beside the present hinted that the audience could take its choice. It was voted to indorse the reelection of Mrs Sara T. Kinney as state regent. It was announced that Mrs Charles IT. Grelley of Boston will be the prin- cipal attraction at an entertainment to be given here on March 21.
