direction after the Brooklyn health de-
partment had refused 20 grant per-
nit for Mr. Marsh's burial until the
cause Of his death had been thus de-

an expert on hydrophobia of the New
York board of health, who was assist
ing, became infected with the rabies
germ. a small scratch appeared on

moved a small section Of the brain and
a section of the spine. These were
taken to the departments laboratory

LUSITAMIA'S BEST RI
Big Turbine Liner Beats Record by
Nearly Four Hours.

New York, May 22,--Desplte a thick
fog, which settled down over the Cum
ard line steamer Lusitania, when the
steamer struck the Long Island coast
tonight, the big ship, at o'clock this
morning, seemed bound to establish a
new record over the long Atlantic
course from Queenstown to New York.
1t had been planned by the ships Of
ficers to reach the Sandy Hook light
ship at about n. M, which would have
beaten the record by more than 4 IL
hours, but the fog caused the officers to
slow down their ship so that at a.
m, she was only creeping along some
where between Fire Island and Sandy
Hook, The prospects at that hour were
the Lusitania would reach the lghtshlp
at Sandy Hook not earlier than o'clock
and perhaps later. This would still clip
the record by from three to three and
a half hours.

Although the board Of finance thought
the matter of the new school at the
corner of Lafayette and Prince streets
had been settled last week when 1t
voted to give money enough for the
erection of a two-story mill construc-
ton eighteen room school house on that
site, as the board of education had
suggested, 1t discovered that II had
made a mistake last night Col. Ull
man and Or spang, the new school

education, appeared and represented
that the lot was not large enough for
an eighteen room two story school, I'M
less an addition to the lot be pur-
chased, and II was suggested that a
three-story eighteen room building of
mill construction be allowed in its
place. They stated that this kind of a
building would cost $4,000 less than the
two-story and be almost as good for
all practical purposes, The board vot-
ed to allow the construction of build
ing along those lines.

TO FIGHT FOR JOB
Record Searcher Neal Not to
Be Fired Without Being
Shown Why.
WILL APPEAL. TO COURTS
First Learned of His Discharge by
Reading II in the Journal
Courier.

searcher Of Records George w. Neal
who, as reported exclusively in The
Journal Courier yesterday morning was
turned out by Director of Public Works
Foley because he did not show up for
work when ordered to, when 1t Is stat
ed he was unable to do so, Is to make
a fight to be re-instated to his position
afternoon. Mr.. Neal said that the first
he knew Of his dismissal was when he
read 1t In this paper and added that al
though Mr.. Foley had written him
about showing up he had never in
formed him that he had been ousted
Mr.. Meals first step will be to investi-
gate whether or not he Is out for good
which according to Mr. Foley he Is
and then employ counsel to carry the
matter to the courts IL necessary.
To queries by The Journal-Courier he
stated that the first he knew OF Mr.
Foley's attitude was when some weeks
ago he received n letter inquirine
about his health and telling him tc
report for duty. He called Mr. Foley
up on the phone and told him his con
dltion was not such as would permit
him Just then to go to work although
he was daily improving and would If
a short time be able to return. Mr.
Foley promised to call him UP the next
day but according to Mr.. Neal failed
to do so and he heard nothing from
him since, He supposed that with Mr.
Brethauer temporarily doing the vol
he could recuperate fully, This belle
was strengthened, 1t was stated by
friends OF his by the fact that he wac
receiving no salary during his Illness
as others IN the employ of the city
have when unable to be at their desks
His salary went to Mr. Brethauer whit
was doing the work
In addition to this there seems Il
be question as to the ordering of tn,
examination. it being said now tina
several members Of the civil servie,
board did not understand the situation
| when they voted the examination. Mr.
| Foley told the committee from tn
board that a vacancy existed, as h
he no doubt believed there did, mas
much as he had dropped Mr. Neal. I
will be a subject of discussion by tn
board at a meeting to be held within
a few days and II is stated that whei
the circumstances are brought out tn
examination may be called off. Law
yers about town familiar with tn
facts state that Mr. Neal has a fin
action against the city and that II III
case is brought to the courts he woul'
be without doubt reinstated.
