French Lawyers Argue The Case l
 Paris

French Lawyers Argue The Case In
 Paris.
 Paris April s.-The hearing of the Mckee divorce suit was continued in this city today.
 The suit Is brought by Mrs Mckee. formerly Mrs, Hugh Tevis. against A Hart Mckee. The first hearing took place March 4. and Mrs. Mckee, through counsel. described alleged in- dignities to which she had been sub jected by her husband. MT. Mckee retaliated two weeks later byt bring ing scandalous counter charges against his wife through Maitre Labori
 Today Maitre Barboux, on behalf of Mrs. Mckee. conducted the pleading in rebuttal. The Italian nob1eman,s with whom 1t is alleged Mrs. Mckee had improper relations at a chateau at Varennes, was identified as tie Mar quis Guglieni. M. Barboux denied MT. McKee's allegations and offered to Lro- duce testimony from physicians. to show that the wife's physical condi- tion at the time specified was such as disprove the charges. He declared that the real object of the defense was not to furnish information to the French court but to besmirch Mrs Mo- Kee's reputation in America and se- cure the publication thereof concern ing letters she had written to her hus- band.
 Advancing to a position close to the bar and speaking in a voice inaudible to the people in the court Maitre Barboux read to the judge, to demon- strate the. animus of MT. Mckee, a translation of the secret code words used in the letter between the cou- pie
 In conclusion counsel for Mrs. Me Kee gave Mir. Mckee a severe arraign- ment saying that he would have only himself to blame If his friends turned their backs upon him when he returned to America.
 This man." Barboux declared 'has failed to compreh end that in insulting his former wife he also insults the mother of his child"
 Maitre Lsbouri. for Mckee. will re- ply tomorrow. The court will hand down it's decision after April 19.

harm to the country schools Nor do believe in cutting down the salaries of teachers. You cut their salaries down and 1t disheartens them and nat urally you are not going to get the best results: or they are competent teachers and they secure employment outside of Mobile and we will lose their services completely.
 T. do not believe in laying down ana whining and looping off this and that Let those who forced the prohibition come to our rescue.
 Immediately on conclusion of Com missioner Andrews address Commis- sioner Holt moved and Commissioner Andrews seconded, that the assistant superintendent be restored. Commis- sioner Holt said the majority report adopted at the last meeting stated that 1t was essential that the assistant superintendent's office should be abolished when they employed music supervisor and a supervisor, of the primary department both of which could be cut off and retain the as- sistant superintendent from whom the board would derive more benefit.
 Vice President Leinkauf, stated that the members of the board should go slow in the matter and awaitfhe meet ing scheduled with the board of reve- nue and road commissioners.
 Commissioner Holt said that his mo ton had received a. second asked for the question but Commissioner Andrews withdrew his second. It being general ly agreed that the matter could be brought up at a full meeting of the board.

PANIC IN A SCHOOL. /.
Parents Feared Violeuee by the Black
 Flanders.


 Newark, N. J.. April s.---A rumor that a big public school in the Italian sec ton was blown up by Black Hand blackmailers as an act of revenge for failure of parents of pupils to. pay tribute resulted in a panic today lh which two children were injured If became necessary to close the sch ool for the day before tue trouble was ended
 The school was in session when q great throng of excited women. shout ing and gesticulating, gathered in front of the closed gates. They de- manded that their children be sent from the building at once and threat ened to break into the building if that was not done.
 The principal teleph for police assistance but before help arrived tn c women had broken down the gates and forced their way into the building. The excited mothers rushed into the build ing and made their way upstairs screaming and calling for their chil- dren by name. so exciting the pupils that they got entirely beyond the con trol of the teachers and ran from their class rooms Into the halls.
 In the wild scramble of mothers and children down the stairs many of th a little ones were thrown down and trampled on. and two were seriously injured.
 When the police arrived order was quickly restored and the building was cleared and closed for the day. The police say there is no basis whatever for the reports that threats had been made to blow up the sch ool

BOY TELLS OF CRIME
SAYS FATHER KILLED MOTHER
 TWO YEARS AGO.
New Orleans Police Investigating Mur- der Alleged to Have Been Com- mftted on shnnty Boat in
 Miesfsaippi River.

New Orleans. La. April s.--Accord- ing to a letter received today by the New. Orleans police, a double murder committed on the river below New Orleans has been covered up by the murky waters of the Mississippi for two years and has only been brought to light by the confession of 12- year-old boy.
 The letter was written by George Ed wards to his uncle at Marksville. La !. The uncle sent the letter to the New Orleans police.
 According to the letter the boy, with several young brothers, is now at 6 New Orleans orphans home. He says that in June. 1906. his father. Lucien Edwards, came aboard the shanty boat on which his family were living, and when. taken to task by his wife for being drunk. shot and killed her with . rife.
 When the eldest daughter remon. strated with her father. she, too, was killed. Both bodies were then weight ed down with stones and thrown into the river.
 An investigation by the New Orleans police proved that a Mississippi River shanty boat with six young children aboard was found about two years ago in St. Bernard Parish. and that the Sheriff of that parish turned the chill dren over to the Society for Proven tion of Cruelty to Children in this city.
 The boy who wrote to his uncle at Marksville was found by detectives and questioned. He says his father told him if he ever said anything about what he had done he would come back and kill him. After telling him this. he says. his father left the boat and never returned.
 The other children were apparently too young to remember the crime.

IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE

Continuous Work Is Pushed at the Cap-

Continuous Work Is Pushed at the Caps

 The improvement of the grounds at Capitol Heights Is continuous per- formance. It goes on all the time.
 Some of the regular attendants will be astonished at what is done when the season opens. The improvement has largely been In small matters, the gen. eral effect of which Is to give the park a neat and prosperous appearance. Im- portant changes have been made in the fence which separate the bleachers from the grand stand. The grand stand entrance has been moved until 1t is right at the entrance gate. La- dies coming out of the grand stand will not have to take part in the mad rush of the hleachers for the exit gate.
 A wire netting ten feet tall has been stretched along the top of the roof to stop foul balls and roll them back into the grounds. A great number of balls are fouled over the grand stand and last year balls lost in this way formed considerable item of expense. for all of them were not brought to the gate by a small boy In exchange for a pass in.
 An addition Is being built, too. for the east end of the grand stand near the negro grandstand.
 The big score board has been put in place in center field. And 1t was no sooner up than the players raised kick. Moose" Baxter was especially pained by the location of the board. It was certain to effect his batting and Moose" is "tetchy" about his batting this year. He and the. other players declared that the bah coming to the batter from the pitcher with the score board as back ground could not be seen.
 Why didn't you kick in time" said President Chambers. Now that IL is up will have 1t painted any color you want. green, brown or black, and let it go at that"

 The vessel had only got about four teen miles off the coast the first day from Callao when the cook made an attack on the mate and captain. He rushed at the mate first and struck him on the head with a tomahawk. He was felled by the blow but quickly rs- covered himself and took to the rig ging. The captain, bearing the scuffie came out of the cabin and he was im- mediately felled by a blow.
 Immediately afterward the cook got his gun and forced first the mate then the skipper. to jump overheard.
