SCHOOL JANITORS
FOUND UNRELIABLE
Board of Education Says
Yards Are in Filthy
Condition.
Craig, Monroe, and Evans
Cases to Be Settled
by Chancellor.

The unreliability of janitors came in
for the bulk Of discussion at the meet
ing of the Board of Education yestcr-
day afternoon.
W. V. Cox called the attention Of the
board to the fact that the majority Of
the school yards Of the District were in
a deplorable condition, being filled
with a heterogeneous collection of tin
cans. brickbats and rubbish of ali
kinds"
II was brought out that some OF the
janitors had refused to be governed by
the orders of the principals OF the
schools in which they were employed,
taking the stand that janitors were not
amenable 10 the commands Of princi-
pals. After arraigning janitors as a
class, and intmating that the board
would dispense with the services OF
some in particular, the matter was re-
ferred to the committee on janitors, with
Instructions 10 make a full investiga-
ton and set the janitors right as to
their duties.
Craig and Other Charges.
All complaints and charges against
Arthur U. Craig, charged with insubor-
dination, and David Monroe, the en-
glneer charged with drunkenness, and
w. Bruce Evans. principal OF the Arm
strong School, who IS charged with re-
tanning Monroe in his position after
having knowledge of his drunkenness,
were referred to the boards legal ad-
wiser. Stuart Mcnamara Super
intendent Chancellor was asked TO make
recommendation in these matters and
signified his complete willingness to do
so. He stated: cit will be an unpleas-
ant task, but 1 will perform it."
Edwin Ballinger, a clerk a school
headquarters, and Randall Gardner.

tgnauons at yesterdays meeting, both
Of which were accepted. They gave as
reason that they had secured better
positions elsewhere, and il is not thought
that the resignation had any connection
with the recent investigation Of the
Office force.
High School Cadets Swords.
A communication from Assistant Su-
perintendent p. NJ. Hughes advised the
board that the cadets at the High
School wished 10 purchase the swords
which they had been carrying and which
have been replaced by another type. II
developed that, although the school
raised the fund with which to purchase
the swords originally, the property now
belonged to the District. under the Pc

Two Newsboys in Trouble for Taking
Subscribers Sunday Editions and
Then Disposins of Them.

A clever scheme of two newsboys
to reap d profit to which they were
not entitled, led to their arrest today

ut appears that for nearly six weeks
people residing between Twenty-first
and Twenty-third streets and north of
Seventh avenue have had their Chi
cago morning dailies stolen. The
papers have been delivered before day
light Sunday morning, and it was an
easy matter for the lads, Ed Clark
and Fred Haley. to follow the carrier
and pick up the papers. They then
disposed of them, making cents on
each one. The trick was discovered
by subscriber, and Mr.. Sexton laid
in wait for the lads yesterday, and
caught them with the papers. 1t is
estimated that the lads took about 200
papers. They will have a hearing
Wednesday morning.
The Hub saloon on Seventeenth
street was robbed sometime between
morning and $50 in money and seven
or eight boxes of cigars were taken.
The money was kept in a dice box

in which the burglars gained entrance
| to the place.
The hearing of Frank Kussow,
which was to have been held this af-
temoon, was continued till next Mon
day morning at O'clock Tom Her
man, the man shot by Kussow in the
ARRAY in Van Kerrebroecke's saloon

reminded of political meeting | at

at this meeting who knew nothing of
parliamentary procedure, and, besides
that, he was half full. Well, in the
course of the meeting there was a lot
of excitement and shouting. II grew

Deaths from x-Rays,

The death of Dr. Weigel. a surgeon
Of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use of the X.rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant OF
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and woman Of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and finger
of the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
part of the right shoulder; then a
part Of the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause of death, the disease being I'M
known to medical science. though 1t
is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple Of life. DIR. Weigel was presi.
dent of the Rochester Academy OF
Medicine and the American Ortho-
paedic society.
