DISMISSED FROM SCHOOL.
Professor Spencer, Strict Discipline

Winsted, April 1.-The trouble at the Gilbert school, which has been the all absorbing topic for two months or more, reached sensa- tional climax yesterday mornilg when Professor Harold c. Spencer, teacher of the commercial depart ment. was summarily dismissed by the school committee and the pupils of his department sent home for taken about 10 o'clock and was a complete surprise. Although Dr J. E. Clarke, the principal, and Har- vey l.. Roberts, chairman of the school committee, absolutely refused to answer any questions it is taken for granted that Professor Spencer's successor has already been secured as the pupils were instructed to re- turn to school Monday. Professor Spencer rendered his resignation several weeks ago as a result of the trouble and was to have left the school in June. He contemplates opening business college.
 The trouble at the Gilbert school began soon after Professor Spencer S arrival about three years ago. He is strict disciplinarian and he found it difficult to get along with some of the boys, who, he alleges, were kept in the school because they were good athletes. About year ago, without consulting the princi pal, he expelled Charles Chidsey. lNa and when the boy tried to enter an- other department of the school the next term the irate professor ap- peared before the committee and succeeded in having him barred from the school entirely. About two months ago Albert Croston, another basketball player, was sent home. The principal, Dr Clarke, objected at this point and Croston was rein stated. Again Professor Spencer ap- pealed 10 the committee but this time the pupil was sustained. Pro lessor Spencer promptly sent in his resignation to take effect in June and it was accepted.
 The news of Professor Spencer's resignation was received with much regret by the people at large and furnished an excellent opportunity for the enemies of Dr Clarke to get to work, which they did, with the result that meeting of the trustees and directors of the school was called for the purpose of considering the advisibility of retaining Dr Clarke as principal, an office he has held since the school was established 13 years ago. Teachers and others rushed into print with letters in re- gard to the controversy, societies passed resolutions indorsing the ad- ministration of Dr Clarke and the pupils of the school circulated peti- tions favorable to she doctor among the business men and others. When the meeting was finally held, how ever, it was unanimously voted to leave the matter to the action and judgment of the school committee and the question was regarded as

LEFT FOR SEATTLE.
American Automobile and Crew Go
 by Steamer Bertha.

Seattle, Wash. April 11.-A ca- ble dispatch to the Post Intelligent. Ger from Valdez, Alaska, says: The American automobile and crew has left on the steamer Bertha for Seat- tie. A public reception was given them by the chamber of commerce and the crew started to inspect the trail. They went 10 miles. Driver Schuster when interviewed said the Alaskans had his sympathy as the depth of the snow and the chuck holes absolutely prohibit any chance of the automobiles. running a mile.
 He says he will return to Seattle and ship for Vladivostock to make up the time lost on the Alaskan trip. He will attempt to charter the sea- going tub Walcott at Orca or take the car and crew across to Siberia. It is doubtful if this can be done.

FLIGHT IN AIR.
New Yorker Remains AlOft Four
 Hours Over Berkshire Hills.

North Adams, Mass, April 1l-ln order to fulfill one of the quallflca- tions of sky pilots required by the Aero Club of America, A. Holland Forbes, of New York, and Mason Il. Arnold, of this city, made an asceh- sion in the balloon North Adams No. 1 from Aero Park here at , o'clock yesterday morning and four hours later landed in Athol, sixty-tve miles distant.
 The balloonists were enthusiastic over their early morning voyage, de- claring that more perfect conditions for balIooning could not have been obtained.
 Tt was the most beautiful sight l ever saw" said Forbes. As we went over the city of North Adams the glow of the electric lights far below was the finest view l ever had, and sunrise from our balloon in the clouds was beautiful thing, sight worth remembering.
 We were delayed in starting, so did not go up until a. m. had with me Henry M Arnold. the North Adams balloonist. We felt confident last night that we could strike fla vorite wind that would take us over Boston. In this we were disappointed for although we struck an easterly wind it died down by the time we were near Athol and we had to aban- don the attempt.
 ''It was pitch dark, and until day break We used electric bulbs in the car. We alighted just before : o'clock this morning, and l will make another attempt soon to land in Boston and will probably use my big balloon.
