New York, Jan. 31.-"We do not
think the American flag, however di-
minutive it may be, is commercially,
commonly or nationally regarded as a
plaything for children. and we find
that the flags in dispute are not toys"
Fixed as Silk.
This was the verdict of the board of
United States general appraisers in
case of a shipment of miniature silk
flags, imported by a toy firm as toys,
the flags having been made in Japan
and shipped at 35 per cent duty. Flags
being classed as silk, they were taxed

Hard Work and Poor Pay.

"If 1 had a boy against whom l a
a grudge," said an old railroad tele'
grapher today, 81 would have him learn
telegraphy at once. 1t carries more re-
sponsibility and pays lower wages than
any branch of the operating depart
ment of the railroads, and the man
that takes it up is simply, in 80 per
cent of the cases, sacrificing his OPP
portunities, and in many instances, his
life"

The women of the state are demanding
this dormitory, and you know what
women can accomplish when they set

Confession of Murder.


New York, Jan. 31.-John Bells con-
fession to his step-brother, describing
how he had murdered Dr.. Charles Will
mot Townsend in the bedroom of the
physicians residence at New Brighton,
has been made by District Attorney
Keenney.
Killed on Anniversary Date.
In this confession, as related by
Howard Bell to the authorities, the
prisoner, John Bell, again shows a re-
markable instance of that weird men,
tai condition which the police declare
led him to shoot the physician upon
the exact anniversary of the death of
Mrs. Bell, who had been under DR..
Townsend's card.
Children Almost Upset Him.
Bell pictured himself to his brother
as creeping about DR.. T~ownsend's
house for one hour after gaining en-
trance. The confession shows Bell
going to the bedrooms where Town
sends little daughters were sleeping,
leaning over their beds, and at sight
of their innocent faces almost losing
his feeling of revenge against their
father, whom he believed sighted Mrs.
Bell and brought about her death.
Revolver in His Hand.
Again Bells brother says he was
told that the alleged murderer stood
for some time looking at DR.. and Mrs.
Townsend asleep in their bed. Bell
had his revolver always in his hand
and stood their debating with himself
whether he should shoot the physician
in his sleep or give up his murderous
purpose.
Gave Up for a Time.
The confession then shows Bell leav-
ing the second floor and the sleepers
and silently pacing the lower Railways,
s'lll undecided, swayed between his
feeling of enmity toward the physician
and his unwillingness to proceed with
his original intent.
Arrival of Exact Hour Of Death.
What finally swayed the balance the
police believe was the approach of the
exact hour in which Bells wife had
died the year before in the Smith in
Urinary.

No Startling Incidents.

The proceedings this morning were
lacking in any sensational incidents.
The juryman chosen today was Oscar
A. Pink, a salesman. A panel of 100
new talesmen appeared in response
to orders issued yesterday. The de-
PENDANT appeared confident hat today
would witness the real beginning of
his trial, and had evidently steeled
himself for the ordeal of the district
attorneys arraignment.
Thaw Family on Hand.
Members of the Thaw family were
early in their seats. The mother of
the prisoner came with her daughters,
the Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs,
George l.. Carnegie, and her son, Ed,
ward Thaw. Josias Thaw and George
party. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw and May
Mackenzie did not arrive until 1875 0
They exchanged cordial greeting with
others of the family party.
Cause of the Delay.
The morning session had not opened
when the prisoners wife came in. The
delay was due to the conference of all
the attorneys with Justice Fitzgerald,
The result of the conference was made
known as soon as the new jury panel
had been called.

MAY HAVE TWO
EDUCATION
BOARDS
Elective Board to Organize
at Midnight and Beat
AppOintive Board.

With a view of gaining additional
grounds on which to base their fight
to retain their office, the majority of
the members of the present elective
Board Of Education, all of whom have
been sworn in by City Clerk Connolly,
will organize and hold their first meet
ing at midnight on December 81, the
formal organization will be made a
few minutes after the new year is ush-
cred in.
A meeting will Immediately follow
the organization, the committees will
be chosen and the president elected.
Regular meetings of the board, it is
planned, win be held the last Thurs
day of each month.
This action will be taken so that the
large board will be an official body, or
at least in charge Of tho department of
education before the small board will be
in office. and the insurgents think that 1t
will then be necessary for the members Of
the small board to institute certiorari pro-
ceedings to GUST the elective body.
This action, after 1t was intimated that
the fight was dropped, comes as a surprise,
and the city is now promised the spectacle
of seeing two separate boards of education
debating the policy of the schools.
Neither board will recognize the other.
and interesting developments may occur.
