tiers and have several men behind the

furniture nothing else has been
missed. Evidently somebody with a
knowledge OF the house took part in
the robbery, as the silverware was
kept locked In a chest.
About 9:15 o'clock last night two
white men and two negroes invaded
the neighborhood and made a house
to house canvass for aims. A white
man called at the Robinson home

MARRIED WOMAN
WONT LOSE HER
PLACE In SCHOOL

Whether a married woman may
hold a position in the city schools is
being discussed by the members of
the school board. Superintendent j.
A. Carnagey has examined the laws
of the board, and has failed to find
any restriction to prevent a married
woman from being a member of the
teaching corps. II has been an un-
written rule of the board not to elect
Ia married woman as a public school
teacher.
The question has been brought
about by the announcement of the
approaching marriage of Miss Ernes-
tine Aims, a member of the High
school faculty. The news of the ap-
preaching marriage was whispered
before the election of teachers, and
when reelected Miss Aims sent in a
written acceptance. No resignation
has been received. and some of the
trustees have heard that she may
teach in the school next session.
Superintendent Carnagey says he is
of the opinion that Miss Aims could
retain her position and the board
would be helpless II taken to the
courts, but he inferred that the I'M
written rule of The board would be
followed at the election of teachers
in 1910.
Should Miss Aims resign all per-
plexity over the question would be
settled. and new teacher would be
elected to the faculty of the High
school.
