PROFESSOR GOT
WRONG FIGURES
Into Hot Water After Health
Talk Rejecting on
Eleventh Ward
USED l0O7-S STATISTICS
INSTEAD OF THOSE OF g

Representative William NJ Connolly,
in a letter to the Board of Education
last night, most of which has been
published, requested that board to call
to account Professor Scott Nearing, of
the University Of Pennsylvania, for the
statements he made concerning the
death rate of the Eleventh ward in
his lecture on Social Problems" before
the Primary Teachers Association
about a week ago. Mr.. Connolly termed
Professor Nearing's assertions as bold
black fabrications."
Mr. Morrow moved that the letter
be received and filed. whereupon Presi-
dent Shortlidge made the remark that
Professor Nearing had no right to come
here and make such assertions.
Superintendent of Public Schools
Twitmyer said he knew Professor
Nearing well and said he was willing
to risk his judgment that the pro-
fessor knows no more about the Elev-
enth ward than any other ward in the
city. 'He obtained his information
from the records at the Board of Health
office and obtained data from the years
1908 and 1907 instead of using the year
1909" said Mr.. Twitmyer. II am quite
sure he would make an apology if the
matter was brought to his attention. as
he had no intention to discredit the
Eleventh ward"
Mr.. Morrow and DR.. Cooper thought
the public should know that the Board
of Education had nothing TO do with
the lecture, the Primary Teachers As
sociation having engaged the speaker.
At this juncture Mrs. Morrows mo-
tion to receive and file the letter was
passed.
The board received a letter from the
Board of Eduaction of Rochester, n. Y,
requesting that a delegate be sent by
the local body to the Fairgrounds con-
vention to be held in Rochester. June
to II. The letter went on to state
that the Fairgrounds I'm Rochester were
under the jurisdiction Of the Board of
Education of that city. AS the board
here has nothing to do with the play
grounds the secretary was directed to
so notify the Rochester body.
The board accepted an invitation re-
ceived from the Board Of Water Com
missioners to inspect the Weldin farm
filtration plant following the memorial
parade. on the afternoon Of May 30.
on motion Of DR.. Cooper the expense
of printing for the commencement OF
the Teachers Training School will he
paid by the board.
Council will be asked 10 advance the
board $1,000 on account Of it's August
appropriation.

partment. at Washington. for such a
vessel. but there were no bids under
that figure for boats that would meet

BOARD STANDS
RY THE MAYOR
Would Have Streets Suggested
by Him for Improvement
Put on List
WILL ASK COUNCIL
TO MAKE SUBSTITUTION

The Board of strete and Sewer Directors
received a letter from Mayor Spruance
this morning giving his objections TO the
list of streets for improvement under the
$4,000 bond issue as submitted TO city
Council. The mayor thinks that Harrison
street between Maple and Oak and
Franklin from Linden to oak ought to
be placed on the list. The bond issue was
vetoed by the Mayor as the result of his
dissatisfaction with the original list.
The directors instructed the secretary
to inform Council that they would prefer
the substitution of the streets mentioned
by the Mayor for other streets in the
Eleventh ward selected for improvement.
The Water Witch Fire Company sent a
communication 10 the directors thanking
them for the light placed at Gilpn avenue
and Scott streets.
Requests for a sewer on Twenty-fourth
street between jefferson and Madison
streets was placed on the list.
Application for the opening of Tatnall
street from Eighteenth to Nineteenth was
made but as the ground is not owned by
the city no action could be taken.

A hog with an appreciation Of humor
got away from the abattoir of the Will

gave a rafting good exhibition of how
unconventional an ordinary pig can be
when It has mind. The hog upset a

Finally someone doused tho hogs head
with water and it went inSo blacksmith

disregard for etiquette aroused the smith

BOMB FOR The
SPANISH KING
Premature Explosion Believed
to Have Baked Attack on
Alfonso
TERRORISTS ACTIVE
THROUGHOUT SPAIN

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
MADRID, May 24-The premature ex-
plosion Of a bomb yesterday near the
monument commemorating the victims
Of the bomb thrown in 1906 as King
Alfonso and his bride were driving to
the palace. is believed by the police to-
day to have prevented an attempt on
the life of King Alfonso. who had just
return ID to the palace from his visit
to England.
1t was at first reported that the
anarchist who dropped the bomb, a man
named Callemayor. had thrown it at
the monument, but the police are now
convinced that he intended the bomb
for the King and was on his way to the
palace when the bomb was accidentally
dropped.
Callemayor was injured by the ex-
plosion and killed himself a few min
utes later when the police pursued
him.
Another outrage was perpetrated to-
day at Carranza, making the fourth in
almost as many days. the others being
at Barcelona and Seville.
This succession of outrages has led
the police to fear another reign of ter
rorisms by anarchists is at hand.
Scores of suspects have been arrested
and all anarchistic centers are under
rigid surveillance.
The explosion at Carranza to-day was
in the rear of a church. It killed
three of the worshippers and injured
sixteen. Reconstruction of the bomb
was found to be identical with that
dropped by Callemayor. indicating
clearly. in the opinion of the police, a
concerted movement by anarchists.
