PER CENT WAGE
 RAISE NEAR
Or Possibly Salaries of Rank and File of Teachers Will be In- creased $10O Flat per Year

The members of the board of edu- cation by discussion among them selves are generally formulating | plan of wage increase for the teach CTS.
 The plan for the present exists only in the minds of the individual mem bers, but it is understood that there IS a substantial agreement as to what should be done
 The proposition most favored is an increase that will amount to about Is per cent. over existing wages, nl- the increase S100 flat.
 The principals and other high sal arled employees of the board accord ing to present purposes are not to share in the plan. The wages of this class of employees have been raised from time to time during the past few years and compare favorably with wages paid elsewhere.
 The purpose is to raise the lowest class of salaries in the greatest de- gree, and to have, in short a wage increase for the benefit of the rank and file of the teaching profession.
 It is therefore possible that teach CTS of the highest grade who now re- ceive $700 or more annually will not get an increase equal to a S10O an- nually while teachers employed at the $450 rate may get slightly more, or not less than the figure referred to.
 It is probable that the proposed salary changes will swell the total of the pay roll of the board by s24,000 a year.
 The tentative schedule as it may be called is about that which is to be adopted by Springfield, Mass, basis Of 15 per cent. of the annual salary

HILL ALTERED HOTEL BANK
 BOOK THRICE

Three discrepancies of s1OO each in the accounts of Sherman Hill, the absconding Atlantic hotel clerk, now in the county Jail. have been brought to light in the audit of his books, and they show that Hill was not at all backward in his manipulation of figures to his own advantage
 Hills method, the auditing disclos- es, was ta make out a deposit slip show it to Proprietor Callaghan, then substitute another desposit slip for s100 less than the original slip, make his deposit to correspond to the sec Ond slip and before returning the bank book to Callaghan, to alter the figure in the hundred column of the bank book to correspond. The only figure he had to change in each of the entire transaction was that in the third column to the left of the decimal point. Three times since Nov. have such alterations been discovered. H1 is still languishing in his cell at North avenue, with Cora Dayton, who fed with him. as his only viistor.

TYSON STILL
 INDICTED FOR
 MANSLAUCHTER

New York, Nov 22.-Alleging tha: a material witness had been spirited to England, and that the wife of the victim had been bought off," Assist ant District Attorney Devivier, to- day, opposed the dismissal of an in dictment of marslaughter found against John H. Tyson, a Stamford, Conn.,, millionaire. Justice Blanchard, after listening to the argument of the assistant district attorney, denied the motion and said that all of the facts adduced in court would warrant in- vestigation. He then postponed the trial of Tyson under the indictment indefinitely
 Tyson's automobile struck and kill ed Olaf Gunderson, launchman of the Columbus Yacht Club, in Columbus avenue, this city, February 23, 1908 He has been out on $10,000 bail ever since.

BANKER MORGAN URGES FREIGHT
 RATE ADVANCE
Especial from United Press.) )

Washington. Nov. 22-It developed at the rate hearing today before the Interstate Commerce Commission that the banking house of J. P1erpont Mor- gan & Company is actively behind the campaign to have freight rates ad- vanced in every part of the country.
 Furniture manufacturers of Grand Rapids. Mich, were on the stand pro- testing. apparently, against the in- crease in rates. They declared that if the freight charges in the official class ifcation territory. alone, were raised, it would be impossible for them to do business.
 The Grand Rapids witnesses then de- clared they were in favor of rates be- ing increased all over the country, equally, as it would put them under no disadvantage At this point, At torney Lyon, representing the commits sion. asked if the Michigan men were not here at the suggestion of George w. Perkins, a partner of J. P. Morgan & Company, and they admitted that they were.
 This development led to the discIo- sure that the house of J. P. Morgan & Company was using the Grand Rapids furniture manufacturers to further their efforts to raise the rates in the South and West as we'll as in other sections.
 M. H. Gay, Grand Rapids furni- ture dealer, declared that when he was in Washington a month ago. Perkins asked why the manufacturers had not considered the effect of the rate in- crease Acting under Perkins sug- gestion, Gay returned to Grand Rap ids and arranged to have the furni- ture interests represented.
 In addition to the furniture dealers the brewing interests were heard to- day.

SUPERINTENDENT TO BE EMPLOYED ON A
 3 YEARS CONTRACT

Commissioners Thomas A. Macdon- aid, John J. Cullinan and John F.. Brady were appointed a committee of three last evening at the special meet ing of the Board of Education to ad- just and modify the new rules of the board, for which the special meeting was called last evening. The mem bers of the board labored long over the revision last evening.
 The work of the committee will principally be to modify and clarlfy the language of the rules to make them brief and of certain meaning. The paragraph of the draft governing the election of superintendent of schools will receive particular atten- ton. Its meaning could not be de- termined by the members of the board. The rule as it will be redrafted will provide for contract with the super intendent of schools for three years, but the contract may be terminated by that officer, or by the board, at the end of any year.
 Hitherto the superintendent has been regarded as an officer of the city and has been elected for a certain term, but hereafter he will be placed un- der contract and in this respect upon a footing with the other employees of the board.
 Discipline in the schools was con- sidered at length. Rules providing that the teachers may establish a monitorial system were approved. Corporal punishment is permitted, but only as last resort, and then not until the case has been reported to the principal of the school.

HARTMAN CHARGED WITH SETTING FIRE
 TO HIS RESTAURANT
Greek Brought Back from Chicago to Stand Trial
 for Arson

Fighting tooth and nail to contro- vert the evidence offered by the state, Attorney James A. Marr was cross examining states witnesses at press hour this afternoon in the case of John Kareman, the Greek restaur- anteur charged with having fired his eating house at Main street and Un- ion Square, August g., with intent to defraud insurance companies.
 Fire Chief Mooney and John O'Con- nor of Chemical Go. No. 1 were the principal witnesses brought by the state before court adjourned at the noon hour. Both declared they found fires raging both downstairs and up in the building occupied by Kareman, and said that it would be impossible for the two fires to have had a com mon origin. The following day, the firemen testified, they found evidence of another fire. in the basement where papers and boxes had been piled together, and the paper had apparently burnt out without ignit- ing the wood.
 Kareman was arrested on evidence gathered by the fremen and state policemen. He had gone to Chicago after settling with the insurance conn panies for $1,000.
