1000 PUPILS IN NEW YORK
SCHOOLS IN WILD PANIC
Police Called 10 QueIl Disturbance
Caused by "Blaek Hand" Threats
and Fire Engines. {.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Four thou
sand pupils in three public schools
on the east side became hysterical
yesterday and it was necessary TO call
the police reserves to quiet them.
Many Jewish parents have received
threatening letters demanding 81 from
each under pain OF having their chill
dren slain.
First a gust OF wind carried the un-
easy tattoo OF a fire engine on the
gallop TO the pentup children of n
school that houses 1900 pupils; the
engine whistled shrilly, little girl
shrieked In answer, and In a minute
the Railways were filed with mob
of shriel<ing. fainting boys and girls.
Panic-stricken mothers from nearby
tenemeuts were c1awing and kicking
at the outside of the street doors.
AS If by pre-arrangement. another
passing engine chafed the nerves Of
another set OF children in a second
school The rumor spread through
the excited. surging streets that the
school was on fire. Before the crowds
could get to IL there was n shout that
a third school had been blown up by
the Black Hand. Then there was no
holding the people. Parents fought
with the police for their children and
many were torn and bruised in the
scuffle. All trains came TO a stop and
II was long before order was restored.
All the east side schools had to be
closed an hour earlier. 1t was found
impossible to get more than half the
normal attendance. and those who did
return could not study.

ECLIPSE VISIBLE HERE.
Clear Sky ives Opportunity for Wit
Messing Rare Sight.

Detroiters who turned their gaze
skyward at the close OF the day,
Thursday. had a rare opportunity TO
see a rare sort OF eclipse. This was
an annular and total eclipse at once,
and another one like it will not occur
for some 20 years, SO that 1t was
worth getting a cramp In the back OF
ones neck TO witness.
A cloudless sky gave the finest op-
portunity for a complete vision OF the
transit of the moons dark orb across
the brilliance OF the setting sun, but
many did not observe the change In
light since. In this section Of the
world. only five-twelfths of the suns
surface was darkened. The eclipse
began at 5:05 D. m. and was at It's
maximum at 3. 30.
There is difference Of opinion
amongst astronomers and weather
sharps as To whether eeAPses- have
any influence upon weather condi-
tons. with the balance slightly against
the star gazers who think that they
do. The next event OF astronomical
importance will be the appearance
about July OF Brooks comet. which

COUNTY ASYLUM
STAFF SHAKEN UP
Changes Made in Guards and Assist
ants, With View to Improve
ment In Discipline.

The board of county poor commits
sioners Is just finishing mp big snake
up in the staff of the county infirmary
and asylum in Eloise. The reason CIV.
en- for this is to improve discipline,
and the immediate effects have been
the resignation OF Engineer James
Heating. which takes effect July /,
replacement of Or. K. II. Earle
and the removal of about ten OF the
guards and assistants.
The board has also put into force a
number of new rules. which the older
employees are inclined to consider ex'
tremely harsh In times past, employees
had the privilege of purchasing sup
plies al the rate paid b ythe county,
but this has been withdrawn and the
new rules are said u restrict the lib
erty of the staff in number OF ways
1--WE had to do something toward
getting better service" says Commits
sioner Fred Postal. Discipline was
lacking. and there was slackness in
various departments
Complaint has been made that the
scarcity of guards was such as -
make It necessary to keep the milder
patients in the asylum shut up for
lack OF attendants TO accompany them
upon their usual airing about the
grounds.
The board has been making changes
for about a year. 1t is said that much
of the closer supervision is due to the
presence on the board Of Commission

There will be no more big balances

sioner Maarer has signalized his re-
appointment as commissioner Of pub
lie works by abandoning the old sys-
tenn OF resurfacing which the city has
had for years, by which all the old
sand and gravel was left on the streets
and only new surface material put on
top He has found that this method
is responsible for much trouble with
resurfaced streets where bad spots
appear in the course Of a year or two
Hereafter all the old sand and gravel
will be removed. the concrete exam

thin upper layer where necessary and
