very nice but the gentlemen who are
planting their capital in Southern re-
ources you may bet are not Gown

get two dollar for every one they are
planning and they will get it.

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED,
Cranston, r. J., School Committee Has
No Money to Pay the Teachers.

Cranston. r. L., Feb S.-The school COM
mittee voted tonight to close all the
schools in the town for an indefinite time
This action follows the failure of the spa-
cial town meeting, which was held last
Saturday, to make an appropriation
and janitors u the end of the present
school year
Just how long the schools will remain
closed is uncertain. Unless another spe-
cial town meeting is called they are not
likely to be reopened until after the reg
ular annual town meeting on the third
Monday in April. Members of the school
board said tonight that they would not
ask to have another special town meeting
called, because their request for an ap-
preparation at last Saturdays meeting
was ignored. The meeting, the commit
teemen declare, was practically in the
hands of a mob, the opposition declaring
the call illegal and refusing to permit
any motion to proceed to business to be
entertained. That the school appropria-
ton has become exhausted before the
end of the year is due. according to the
committeeman, to unforeseen expenses
which We're, however. entirely necessary
There are o. teachers in the town all
of whom will be out of employment as the
result of the committees action. The
number of pupils is 3215
