seldom employed, but It has not proved
overly snug since the first of the year

President McAneny had not been in office
forty-eight hours before he started an in
vestigation to find out just how many of
the men on his payroll were really valu-
able servants of the city and how MANY
were deadwood in this investigation he
has had the active assistance of Henry
Bruere. of the Bureau of Municipal Re
search. The latter has summoned one
after another of the men and put them
through a croSs-eXamination on their
duties. He wanted to know what they
were supposed to do what they actually
did and how they did it. There have bee1
some interesting disclosures. and one name
after another has been placed in the dis
ton will be completed. it is expected that
more than four hundred men will have to
go. This is only a rough estimate, how
ever, some of the most important bu-
reaus are still to be investigated

from WestJury and informed that Mrs.
Morgan had changed her mind and would

possible, as she would hurry to the pier.
Twenty minutes after the message was
sent to the line Mrs. Morgan accompanied
by her two children and two maids. en-
tered a large touring car and was soon
speeding westward to this city. 1t was
long run ard the chauffeur made good
time along the country roads. but the speed
law caused him to lose time when driving
through Manhattan. The line had decided
to hold the Baltic until 2:l5 p. M, but Mrs.
Morgan and her children, who were on
their way to Paris TO join Mr. Morgan, ar
rived at 2:O7 p. m.

SEE RAY OF HOPE.
Women Teachers Count on
NezC Administration.

The present city administration is going
to help the women teachers in their fight
for equal pay, according to Miss Grace e.
Strachan. president OF the Interborough
Association of Women Teachers.
This election has brought a Board of
Estimate into Office which is going to de-
eide, we believe, that the Department of
Education viii have to do just what the
other city departrnSnS do under the Civil
Service" declared Miss Strachan yester-
day. 1T will have to fix one salary for
position. At present it is the only de-
partment in the city that pays two salaries
for the same position
Miss Strachan was one OF the speakers
at the Saturday luncheon of the City Club
The subject of discussion was the teachers
equal pay question. She was introduced
by President Charles H. Strong of the
City Club as one of the brave band Of
twenty women school teachers who have
borne the Dor and heat of the battle
DR.. William II. Allen. of the Bureau Of
Municipal Research, who spoke after Miss
Strachan, said: There has been a pro-
gressive effort to throttle every attempt to
understand the fundamental questions of
the public schools, but, thanks TO the City
Club and its officers, we are about to get
definite knowledge"
Miss Lima E. Gano, teacher. sitting near
DIR. Allen, said in reply that the Inter
borough Association of Women Teachers
had been organized 10 take care of the
financial interests of the teachers, and if
he could not get from the Board of Educa-
ton all the information he wanted about
schools ii wac the fault of that board.
Miss Strachan then answered several
queries submitted by DR.. Allen and said
that she had yet to find what special SER
vice men teachers do TO entitle them to
more pay than the women teachers
Professor John B. Clark, of Columbia
University, in suggesting a solution of The
problem limited that he believed the proper
and just course for the city to pursue
would be Ito disregard as a basis of action
any comparison between the pay of men
and women teachers" Professor Clark be-
lieved that the schools of the city would
not suffer if men teachers were eliminated
from the lower grades.
Miss Mary Chalmers, another one of the
SPEAKERS, suggested hat no attention be
raid to the critics Of proposed equal
pay legislation, who have stated that it
would demoralze the school system.

HUNT FOR BANDITS
GOT sIO,O 900 IN HOLD-UP.
BIoodhounds Scour st. Louis
County Without AUdI.

ST Louis Jan. with all trails lead
ing toward ST. Louis, the four men who
held up and robbed the Missouri Pacific
train near Eureka, Mo. last night are be-
lieved to be hiding in this city. Two hum
dred men and six bloodhounds searched the
greater part of ST. Louis County to-day.
The clews which developed in the search
for the men, who are believed to have OBJ
tained approximately $4,000 by cutting open
sixteen mail pouches, show that a boat in
which the bandits may have noated down
the Meramec River 10 a point convenient
TO ST Louis was stolen on Friday night
g few miles from the scene of the robbery
and the bloodhounds took up trail which
led toward this city.
II also is thought the robbers may have
used an automobile in escaping. One OF
the men was an experienced railroad en-
giaeer The police are looking for this man,
as his description is known.
Rewards aggregating 1920 were offered
to-day for the arrest and conviction OF the
outlaws. suspected man was arrested
early to-day. He denied being implicated
in the robbery.
The safe in the express car, which the
robbers failed 10 open, contained $50 in cash
and valuables.
The five mail clerks were changing their
clothes when the train was held up, and
they were forced out in the cold without
their trousers. They took refuge in the
smoker and passengers supplied them with
clothes
Two of the bandits boarded the blind bag
gage at Pacific, nine miles west of Eureka
az 10:l5 o'clock The other two tagged the
train. with red lanterns, mile east OF
Eureka in lonely spot. AS the train
slowed down the two on board climbed over
the tender and covered the engineer and
fireman
baggage and express cars were cut off,
after the express messenger and mail
clerks had been ordered from their cars.
z. E. Beeton, the baggage clerk, hesitated
about leaving his car. and a bullet carried
away his hat and lock OF his hair
With one of the robbers at the throttle
the engine and two cars ran to Castlewood,
six miles distant. where the four men took
their time about rifling the mail.
The water was let out of the boiler, and
the engineer and fireman were ordered 10
walk east for fifteen minutes under threat
OF instant death The quartet then dis
appeared into the woods.
The stranded passenger coaches three in
number, lay on the main line until o'clock
this morning. when they, together with the
engine and baggage and express cars. were
brought into St Louis by freight train.

TWO FATALLY HURT
At 4SHOKAN DAM.
Dynamite Erplodes = Cold
Spring Death List Unchan ged.

Kingston. n. y. Jan. 22-Another fatal
accident has narred the progress of the
aqueduct under construction from Ashokan,
In the Catskills, to New York City a
dynamite drying house at Shaft No. 5,
near Forest Glen, Ulster County, exploded
to-day, mangling George Miller and one
other unknown laborer so terribly that
they will die Neither man was able to
give any explanation of the accident.
II is now definitely known that fifteen
men were killed in the terrible blast of
more than one thousand pounds of nitro
glycerine in the Ashokan aqueduct near
Cold Spring yesterday. Two of the dead
were Americans, Michael n. Lewis, of New
York, and George Barnes. foreman.
A. P. Everett, head of the Everett Con-
structio1 Company, which has the contract.
said to-day that the only way in which
he could account for the accident was that
one of the workmen st lmbled in the tun-
mel, which is through solid rock, and that
as he fell the lighted lamp on his cap
came in contact with a fuse which had
been stretched from the blasts of nitro
glycerine. Before the fuse could be ex-
tinguished the fire had reached the deadly
charges and the explosion was the result
Only fragments of the bodies of the slain
men were found in the tunnel to-day. EX-
ceptfng the two Americans killed the
others, who were foreigners or negroes,
were known to the company by numbers
The five men who were injured were in
serious condition to-day, the physicians
saying that they had only an even chance
between life and death
The Board of Water Supply lost no time
In starting an investigation of the causes
OF the explosion of nitroglycerine in the
tunnel near Cold Spring which is to be
part of the Catskill aqueduct. AS soon as
ne learned of the accident Commissioner
Chadwick ordered Robert Ridgway a de-
partnent engineer, to the scene, with in
structlons to make q complete nvestiga-
ton and be ready to make a preliminary
report tomorrow. j. Waldo Smith, chief
engineer of the board, started for the scene
OF the trouble late yesterday afternoon A
copy of the final report will be forwarded
to the state Labor bureau.
The city cannot be held liable in any
way for damages. The work was being
done by one of the contractors" said Com
missioner Chadwick. Our board had taken
every precaution to obviate such accidents
We have clauses in all contracts to protect
those employed by the contractors 1t was
a most deplorable occurrence, but we cam
not pass judgment until we have received
the report"
