NOT TO APPEAR TODAY
DIR. CHANCELLOR WILL BE AB-
SENT FROM BOARD MEETING.

DIR. William E. Chancellor, superin-
tendent of pubic instruction, will not be
present at the meeting of the board OF
education late this afternoon, when his
trial on charges of INSTRUMENTATION and
to Attorney Greed NJ. Fulton of his
counsel DR.. Chancellor returned yester-
day from the Maryland sanitarium,
where he had been recuperatins. and his
physician examined him last night. As a
result he advised that the superintendent
remain at home today, with the view OF
attending the session of the trial tomor-
row.
The plan OF the defense is. therefore,
to call several witnesses today other
than the defendant. They will tell Of the
efficiency of DR.. Chancellor as an educa-
tor and of his beneficial influence on the
District schools, his attorneys say. When
the trial is resumed tomorrow afternoon
DR.. Chancellor will take the witness
stand and begin his story. That is eN-
pscted to consume several hours, and at
its conclusion. 1t is expected, other wit
nesses will be called by the defense to
support the statements of the superin-
tendent.
The board of education will brook no
delay, according to one Of the members.
At the last meeting of the board, about
two weeks ago, the members were told
that DR.. Chancellor was so i'll that he
would be unable to appear for at least
two weeks. On that statement a post
ponement Of two weeks was granted.
Interest In the trial now centerS in the
statement of the superintendent, and it
is expected that many persons interested
directly or indirectly in the schools will
attend the session of the board in the
Franklin School building tomorrow.

IMMUNE AGAINST TRUSTS.
Bananas Plentiful, With No Pros
pect Of Diminution in Supply.

Trust busters and enemies of corporate
greed generally will be interested to know
that Providence has provided a food pop
ular and delicious. which cannot be cor
raled by combinations of capital known
as trusts. II is the banana. Millions of
punches of this luscious fruit are gath
cred from the trees in Jamaica alone for
export to every corner of the globe. The
life of banana is said to be ten days,
and within that time they who would
profit by its popularity must gauge the
time for gathering it with mathematical
precision, get it to market and into the
hands of the consumer. So delicate is
the fruit that warm weather is likely to
cook it. as the merchants say. and
cold snaps of however short duration are
apt to freeze it. In either case the fruit
is rendered unstable. if not absolutely
worthless.
One company alone has eighty vessels
engaged exclusively in the banana trade.
and the principal markets to which 1t
ships in the east are Boston. New York.
Philadelphia. Baltimore and New Orleans.
On the arrival of a cargo the fruit,
which Is consigned to wholesale fruit mer-
chants, is quickly unloaded and then dis
posed of at public auction to the street
vender and retailer. whose bids invariably
regulate the price. Every day lost in the
life of a banana makes it less valua BILE, as
we'll as less wholesome.
The wholesaler may not put the fruit
in cold storage and hold it for a rise in
price, for If the cold did not freeze it, the
delay would destroy 1t.
