Praetu, degenerate Spaniard who
has long police court record and is
recognized as bad man, made vicious
threats against the life of Circuit
Judge Whitney yesterday morning in
the Judges chambers, and few min
utes later rushed madly at his own
two infant children with the evident
intent to kill them. He is now locked
up at the police station and a charge
of threatening to kill will be laid
against him by Judge Whitney.
Praetu, a worthless ne 'er-do well,
practically deserted his two children
two years ago, placing them in the
Salvation Army Home, where they have
been cared for ever since. About a
month ago he married a second wife,
who already had three children. He
then attempted to take his own chill
dren from the Home to live with him
and his new wife is the dirty howell
they inhabit. The matron refused to
let him have them, and he appealed to
Juvenile Judge Whitney for an. order
restoring the children to him. Judge
Whitney yesterday refused to grant
the petition.
The two children, both pretty little
ones. were in the Judges chambers,
and so great was their fear of their
drunken father that they burst into
terrified sobs every time he looked at
them. Clerk John Marcallino saw the
man casting ugly looks at the children,
and spoke to the judge about it. When
Praetu saw the clerk whispering to the
Judge. he burst out into wild threats,
then rushed madly down the stairs and
pretended to throw fit In the lower
corridor. The fit, however, was plainly
only feigned, for as soon as the with
ing man saw Marcallino coming down
the stairway leading one of the chill
dren and carrying the other on his arm,
he sprang to his feet and dashed saw
agely at the clerk and the children
with the evident intention of inJurlng
or killing them.
Fernandez. one of the clerks in the
lower floor offices, was too quick for
the ugly Spaniard, however. He made
a Aving tackle and threw the man to
fha floor before any harm could be
dome The Spaniard shrieked curses
and threats. but he was held fast and
searched and the knife he had IN his
nacket and which he had announced ne
intended to use was taken from hlll
A few minutes later the patrol wagon
arrived and Praetu was taken 10 tne
station house.
Praetu appeared in police court only
a few days ago, charged with compile

Proud of System.

DR.. j. H. Phillips, superintendent OF
the Birmingham public schools, has rea-
son to be proud of the development Of
this branch of the city government.
His satisfaction in the expansion of the
city and the consequent enlargement of
the school system is genuine and whole
some.
With ethe schools of Greater Birming-
ham consolidated we will have here In
Jones valley one of the largest and most
important educational systems in the en-
tire south.
And 1t has all been built up during DR..
Phillips administration. This system and
work has been the pride Of his life and
every citizen of Birmingham rejoices with
him In the great success that has been
attained.
When DR.. Phillips was elected to the
principalship or superintendence of the
.'Birmingham Free School" in 1888 there
was only one school building with less
than 200 pupils. Birmingham then
claimed a population OF 5000. The one
school building in the town was To-
Gated on the present site Of tho Powell
school at the corner OF Sixth avenue
and Twenty-fourth street.. There were
seven teachers, including the principal.
School Population.
In Greater Birmingham there will be a
school population of almost 5000. 1t will
require the services of more than 800
teachers to serve the more than 80 sep
arate schools.
The high school department of the
Birmingham free school was established
during the first year of DR.. Phillips ad-
ministration with 26 pupils. DIR. Phillips
worked out the first real systematic or
ganization for the school and has led a
strenuous career ever since in his untir-
ing efforts to keep the system up to the
requirements of the growing community.
There has never been a period of rest
or stand still in the history of the Bir-
mingham public schools since the day DR.,
Phillips took charge. Every year has
seen increasing demands and the super
intendent has been kept constantly busy
meeting them.
Consolidation Simple.
The large expansion Of a city would or
dinarly bring stupendous demands in the
way of providing facilities for accommo-
| dating the school children, but Greater
| Birmingham has been relieved of these
demands to a great extent by the I'M
usual enterprise of the surrounding towns
to be taken in. Practically all of them
have anticipated the consolidation and
have fortified themselves with adequate
buildings and have been progressive to
a marked degree in the systematizing of
the work.
Large and handsome buildings have

Greater Birmingham will have a
system of more than half a hun
dred separate schools.
More than five hundred teachers
will be employed.
The actual school census of 1903
in the territory involved shows
school population of 1895.
This census does not show parts
of rural school districts that will
be taken into Greater birmingham.
These uncounted portions of terri
tory will add a large number 10
the total given.
1t is estimated that the school
population of Greater Birmingh
will be more than $4,000 by next
spring.
DR.. ]. H. Phillips, uperintendent
of the public schools of Greater
Birmin gh am estimates the total
population of Greater Birmingham
at 144 900.
In 26 years DR.. Phillips has de-
veloped the Birmingham public
school system from one disorgan-
lied institution with less than zoo
pupils to it's present large proper
