CHARGES vs..
PATROLMAN

Patrolman George Kozusko re-
ported to Chief Burke last night that
he had lost his revolver and hand
cuffs. He said that he left them in
the toilet room on the second floor
of the police station Wednesday
night.
Chief Burke said this morning
that he intended to prefer charges
against the officer for carelessness II
he did not find the missing articles
within a reasonable time. The chief
remarked that II Kozusko left his
revolver and handouts where he said
he did, 1t was strange that no one
had seen them. He also said 1t was
strange that the officer had not tele-
phoned to headquarters yesterday
morning to inquire about the arti-
cles.
The chief says that charges can
be made according to the rules
against Kozusko for carelessness. az
officers are not supposed to lose their
revolvers or handouts, which are

siderable damage in the home of Mr..

sured for $500 with F. L.. Brown and
the house for $4,000.

SCHOOL NO. 6
HAS ANOTHER
CLOSE CALL
g.
Box of Waste Paper in Fur
mace Room Ignited by Boy
Yesterday Afternoon.
president ARNER
B.AMES JANiT0R

Through alleged carelessness there
came near being another fire in
school No. 8 yesterday afternoon. A
box of waste paper In the furnace
room in-the basement was set on fire
by one of the pupils while the jan
itor was on the upper floors of the
building shortly before O'Clock.
AS the box of paper blazed up the
boy became frightened and running
up stairs told Mr.. Martin, who hur-
ried to the basement and managed
to throw the blazing box outside.
The wainscoting where the box stood
was scorched.
President Arner said this mornin g
that he and Commissioners Earring
ton and Moore, while In school No.
6 Monday morning, noticed the box
of paper in the furnace room and
told the janitor to burn it. Mr. Mar
tin, Mr.. Arner says, replied that he
generally did SO at night in a separ-
ate fiue.
Mr.. Arner says he told the janitor
not to keep the waste paper and
refuse, but to burn it as fast as it
collected in the furnace. According
to Mr.. Arner, Mr. Martin did not
obey orders and the matter will be
acted on at-the. next meeting of the
Board of Education.
Committee Meeting Tonight.
"We hire janitors, said Mr.. Arner
this morning, Ito protect the schools
and 1t is no wonder we have fires IL
they refuse to obey orders. / distinct
ly told Mr.. Martin in the presence of
Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. Moore, to
burn the refuse and II he had done
as l told him, the boy could not have
set flre to the box OF paper yesterday.
At a committee session cf the board
tonight | intend to bring up the mat
ter and have the ianitor reprinanded
The schools must be protected.
The children play In the courts
of the buildings" continued Mr.. Ar
ner. and 1t is almost impossible to
keep them out of the furnace room
or any other part of the place that is
open, so 1t is easily seen how the lad
discovered the box. Monday morn
ing besides box about two by four
/ feet, full of refuse, there was consid-
cradle waste paper on the floor in
/ back of IT,
1t is thought match was thrown
into the box, causing the trouble.

particular reason why the license

Mulchahey spoke briefly on the mat
ter. stating that there was little in
formation at hand regarding the
place. For the first time in the
history OF that board the names of

necessary repairs were made. Las
kowski was present, but could not
state when the repairs would be COM
pleted. Six applications for renewals
were granted.
