didate.

The coming retirement Of Principal
John G. Lewis of the Webster school
district, which was known for some
time before the formal announcement
of his request was made. has started a
number of candidates for the position,
Among the applicants and the one so
far most prominently mentioned Is
William II. Hackett OF the high school
and he is frank In his acknowledge
ment that he Is a seeker for the posi-
tion. Mr. Hackett has been for IA years
an instructor in the high school and
has made q host Of friends.
When asked last night by The Jour-
nal Courier If he was out for the place,
Mr. Hackett said: Yes, am an ap-
plcant for the position. That is all
have got to say and that is all will
say"
Concldent with the announcement OF
the retirement Of Principal Lewis and
the question Of his successor comes a
report that Superintendent OF Schools
Beede Is not kindly disposed to the ap-
pclntment Of a local man to the prln-
cipalship. What his reasons are for this
feeling he has not as yet made public,
but there are certain people. and out
side of the New Haven Teachers
league also, who are to form themselves
into an organization for the purpose
of bringing all the legitimate influence
that they can command, to bear upon
the board of education to have that
body give home talent chance.
Their reasons for taking this action
are many. They claim that II our
teachers are good enough for high and
responsible positions In other cities
they certainly must be good enough for
this city. Their competency has yet to
be questioned, so, therefore, these peo-
pie interested are at loss to know why
local teachers should not receive the
merits Of their service and when there
are any good places to be filled, why
! they should not have chance for pro.
motion,
Another candidate and also a local
teacher who Is said to be out for the
place Is writing Instructor w. D.

DR.. DIEFEND0RF HOME
Summoned But Not Called Upon 10
Testify at Thaw Hearing.

DR.. A. II, Diefendorf, OF this city,

in New Haven, yesterday, after having
been called to PoughkeepsIe by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome on Friday, 10
again testify AS DR., Defendorf stat
ell in the first Thaw trial that the prs
oner was suffering from paranoia, a
form of insanity which Is incurable,
his testimony, had it been called for
at the hearing in Poughkeepsie on
Saturday, would presumably have
been that 1t would not be advisable
to give Thaw his liberty. Mr., Jerome
however, seemed to be so we'll salts
fed with the showing which Thaw
himself made toward proving nlmself
insane, after calling him to the stand,
that no experts of the number snm-
moned to Poughkecpsie were allied
upon. In case the hearing on The re.
lease Of Thaw requires jerome to
call experts to the stand to prove
the present insanity of Thaw II Is
expected that Dr. Diefendorf viii be
again summoned by the district attor-
ney as Witness.
