The matter of a boarding home for

by Harry A. Knox, superintendent of

received with enthusiasm
Superintendent Knox said that en-

their means permitted.
The cost of furnishing such home,

great and grave Importance that some
one might be found who would under

KIDNAPPED PANTS
|. AT PORTOLA DANCE
Who Wore Full Dress Trousers
of Lieutenant Price to the
Fairmont Ball?
Preside in Turmoil Over the
Appearance There of Myste-
rious Bogus Officer

Who was the alleged officer of the
United States army that attended the
Portola ball at the Fairmont hotel
Wednesday night in the pilfered CLOTH
ing of Lieutenant George e. Price of
the Fourteenth cavalry?
The Portola committee wants to know;
Chief of Police Cook wants sto know;
with all his heart Lieutenant Price, who
mourns the loss of his garments wants
to know
Also, Ned Greenway, czar of the So
cial empire, wants to know who it was
that, skulking under an assumed name.
and in assumed attire, crossed the from
tier of his social dominion.
At the present time Lieutenant Price
is In the Preside general hospital, re-
covering from an argument he had
with his horse while in the Yosemite
valley. But his orderly is not in the
hospital, and few days ago he was
taken with fit of industry. He
brushed the injured lieutenant's dress
trousers and his overcoat and draped
them on the line to SUM- Then he
lighted his pipe and rested.
A few hours later came news of the
garments kidnapping, and officers re-
turning from the official ball carried
further tidings of an alleged army Off
Ger who had appeared at the ball in
dress trousers, but insisted in keeping
his overcoat tightly buttoned about
his throat. The officers insisted that
they did not believe the unknown had
on an army officers coat, and their
suspicious were but deepened when the
news of the theft of Lieutenant's
Prices garments ragged like hurricane
through the usually calm post.
The reservation was hardly recover
ing from this shock when the intelli-
gence was flaming from house 70 house
that Major James M. kennedy had taken
his three days walk all by himself,
and in secret. completely frustrating
the efforts of his friends, all of whom
have taken the required hike, to line
the route of march in Joking hundreds.
The major was going on the regula-
tion test tramp with a half dozen
friends, but the necessity to conduct
an operation on one of his patients
forced him to remain on duty while
they drilled. These same friends, their
feet cured and wearied limbs refreshed,
joked the major on his coming trial,
and promised to make the march mis-
cradle with their joshes. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, however, the
major took mysterious carriage rides,
and not until yesterday was it found
that he was but being transported be-
yond the limits of the reservation.
Then he would alight and take the
required hike.
What with the mystery of the stolen
trousers, and the discovery of Major
Kennedy's duplicity, the Presidio is in
turmoil.

TRYING new Plan
Pupils in City Schools Whose
Work Is Satisfactory Now
Dismissed at $3.50.
GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED
Teachers Devote Other Half Hour to
Work With the Slower Members
of the Glasses.

An experiment along educational
lines has been introduced into the pub
lie schools of the city by Superintend-
ent Fl. b. Hayden under the authoriz-
alton of the board of education, and
it is meeting with the approval of a
number of the parents of the pupils
who are already benefiting by it and
also of the teachers themselves, who
are enabled to do better and more
thorough work The plan which is be-
ing tried is to allow all the pupils in
the grade schools, who do their work
to the satisfaction of the teacher each
day, to so to their homes at $3.50 each
day instead of waiting until 4 O'Clock,
which is the regular dismissal time.
The idea is not an original one with
Mr.. Hayden, who introduced it, and
although it is a departure. from all
school methods used here for some
time, it has been tried out in other
cities, and its success is almost as
sured at the very start. Mr. Hayden
learned of the scheme while visiting
in the schools of another city during
last year. and he Immediately asked
the board for permission to put it into
practice here
