SCHOOL BOARD
DOESN'T sQUABBLE
BURTON Is cONCiLiATORY AND
GOLDBERG ABSENT, so
PEACE RElGNs.

The board OF education held a per
fectly lovely" session Thursday night
Inspector Burton was In conciliatory
mood and Inspector Goldberg, who
usually takes the initiative In chaileng
Ing the administration forces to wordy
combat, was absent. The only dis
cordant note was sounded by Inspec
tor Komrofsky, who objected to a re
port of the committee on supplies and
janitors, recommending the purchase
OF fire extinguishcrs from the Minimaz
Co.
MY reasons are that this company
is foreign concern and their bid II
the highest" he said.
The committee was willing that the
report should be tabled for two weeks
and this was done.
A report submitted by Superintend
ent OF Schools Martindale showed tina,
the enrolment of pupils in the pub
lie schools Of the city TO date 10 as,
ll5, an increase OF 2,403 over last
year. Night school attendance for DC.
tober showed an increase or 259 over
the same month last year.
MindAl OF a rather embarrassing
experience over flag. last June, the
board fastened to accept one offered
by the ladies of the w. r. G. for the
Craft school. The ladies. intheir com.
munication. suggested that pupils in
schools not provided with flags each
contribute oen cent for the purpose
of supplying the demand, but the Sec
Rotary was instructed to inform the
organization that all public schools
are SO equipped. However, the board
expressed its thanks for the banner
presented.
Mrs. w. A. Moore. for whose hus-
band, the late w. A. Moore, one OF the
new schools was named, offered TO
present q picture of Mr.. Moore to be
hung In the school. The offer was ac-
cepted with thanks.
The session was delayed half an
hour while the real estate committee
talked turkey to real estate man who
has held UP the purchase Of the
Greusel school site on Moran-st. by
failing to deliver the abstract OF one
of the lots involved In the purchase.
He was informed that unless the paper
Is produced forthwith the committee
will ask the board to readevrtise for
a site.

WANT SHARE OF
GRANDFATHER'S ESTATE

Five young children of Joseph
Schmitz, the youngest but seven
years old and pitifully crippled, are
plaintiffs in n suit being heard by
Judge Hosmer, in which they seek a
share Of the estate of their GRANDPA.
Their. Michael Schmitz. Their father
IL dead. and their mother sues as
thir guard. 1t Is claimed that Mich
ael Schmitz died in 1889, leaving an
estate worth about $4,000, which went
to his wife, Anna, for ner life. She
died in 1893, leaving her individual
property to her daughter, Anna Lau.
hon. an aunt OF the children. When
an attempt was made to secure some.
thing for the children it was found
that the estate had dwindled to about
$4,000. An attempt Will be made to
show that Mrs. Lauhoff and her hus-
band, William, secured the property
by undue influence, when ii should
have remained a part Of the life es-
tate, to be divided among the heirs.
The Lauhoffs are wealthy.

BATTLE CREEK. Mich. Nov. a.
Instant obedience by Henry Derby

death OF the latter, Thursday noon.

jack. When Moore yelled to Derby to
knock out the supporting boards. the
workman obeyed, whereupon the tim.

PLAN TO CUT DOWN
CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

One Of the problems that confronts
the legislators-elect and the politi-
clans generally, IL that Of framing .
new law that will cut down the cost
Of running for ONCE. At the present
time, a man must be prepared to
spend anywhere from 1900 TO 310,-
900 TO get q city or county once
where there IL q contest. One sugges-
ton II that each candidate be limit
ed to spending q sum equal to the drst
years salary OF the ONCE, or even 80
per cent Of that salary. This II gen
orally deemed impracticable.
Another proposed law would disqual.
ify any man from election II he cam.
paigned In saloons, making the buy
Ing Of one round" OF drinks q SUI.
Nfcient cause TO inyalidate his election.
This, too, has it's objections AZ almost
any candidate might let hospitality
get the better of discretion when
meeting friends. Also, candidates who
desired to do the. spending anyway,
could 60 the rounds accompanied by
q friend and let the other man peel on
the bills for the booze.
Another suggestion IL that all ad-
yertising by banners and large cards
be prohibited. This il q great source
Of expense now. Al present the Re-
publican candidates are tho principal
sufferers and number of men have
been ruined by trying for nominations.

There has been an unusual scarcity
