use of the Furlow building, but an
effort is being made to make it more
comfortable and convenient for those
who are now housed there
Not only 'is there $4,000 of in
debtedness on the High School build
ing now, but the schools are living
squarely up to their income. The in
debtedness on the school building
should be met as soon as possible, as
it has already run for some time
There is no way to meet this indebt-
edness and to construct the new
school buildings SO badly needed, but
to issue bonds for that purpose. The
conditions that are so keenly felt now
will be still more pronounced next
fall when the schools open up for
the new school year. Relief afforded
now will bring adequate accommoda-
tons in time to open up the school
system next fall in such a manner
that all the schildren who apply for
entrance may be satisfactorily cared
for"
The amount of the bond issue as
suggested by Captain Cobb and ST.
perintendent Miller is for an amount
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.
Neither of the school officials think
that the issue should be for less than
$685. 900, if that amount could be Sc
cured for the schools, while even
$780, 900 could be utilized most advanu-
ageously in the work.

The needs of the schools as out

rated by Superintendent Miller, who
spoke at some length concerning the
things now needed.
1--WE are compelled to get more
teachers and to supply new buildings
to properly accommodate the students
now in the schools here" said Mr.
Miller. ''The idea is not to aban
don the Furlow school building, as
some have enormously supposed, but
merely to give the relief to the con-
gested school population that we are
attempting to accommodate there
now under very difficult conditions
If some of the students now enroll

sections of the city were to be NOV
ed and placed in a new building, for
instances, the congestion in the for
mer school building would be readily
and satisfactorily relieved. There IS

Homes Disrupted and City Divided By Lobster

ID HILADELPHIA.-This city is agi-
tated as over a question which baf-
fles solution. Wherever one goes 1t is
being discussed. Arguments have
arisen, fights have followed and ar
rests resulted Homes have become
disrupted and the whole city is prac-
tically divided into two factions.
The question is: what is a lob

It was handed up to q higher court
here the other day by a police magls-
trate after he had spent a week in
comforting with the leading lobster au-
thorities all over the country.
The case is that of John Hauducaur.

childrenu with her. but that didn't de-
ter her. She grabbed them both and
made a race for Ed.
Where are you going with my go
cart?" she commanded. Put It down
this instant"
But Ed ignored her and tried to con-
tinue his journey. Mrs. Marvin
wouldn't have It that way and there
was a struggle for possession OF the
cart. The boy wouldn't let go and
Mrs Marvin chung on. Somebody
called the police and Mrs. Marvin, the
children. Ed and the go-cart were Civ
en- a ride to police headquarters in a
patrol.
At the station neither Mrs Marvin
nor Ed would relinquish claim on the
cart Finally Mr.. Lerchen was sent
for and he quickly settled everything
by saying the cart wasn't the one he
gave the boy to deliver.
At that point the curtain fell on the
first act. The cast is still in rehearsal

GO-Cart Is Cause of Mix-Up in Thrilling Comedy

nETROITg NMICH.-"The Comedy Of
~ a Go-Cart" would be an apt title
for a sketch in which a woman, her
two little children, a boy and trolley
car figured the other afternoon The
curtain rose when f. II. Lerchen, 146
Tuxedo avenue, hired Ed Schultz, aged
sixteen, 322 Hunt street, to take a
go-cart to his sister on the West side
From then on the action was swift
Ed boarded a Jefferson car and not
having any little brothers and sisters
who use one of the tiny carriages, he
forgot all about Mr. Lerchens when
he alighted from the car at Fourth
and Grand River avenues.
In a few seconds It dawned on Ed
that he must be in that part OF the
city for something.
"Ah, ha, have IT," exclaimed the
boy. Il was to deliver Mr.. Lerchen's
go-cart. But where is it?" he asked
himself, feeling in his pockets Must
have left 1t on the car" he said finally.
Ed appealed to a patrolman, who
advised him to wait on the corner for
the car to return and recover the
cart. That appeared logical. so he
sat down on the curb TO wait.
After a while a pay-enter came
along and Ed saw go.cart on the
rear platform. He Jumped at the
conclusion that 1t was Mr.. Lerchen's.
He stopped the car and the platform
door swung open. Before the conduc-

that all animals experienced pain and
that the chef was guilty OF cruelty.
The defense argued that the charge
fell because the lobster is not an ami
NAL. Then the same argument that
caused the adjournment OF court a
week ago arose and the magistrate
threw his hands up In despair.
ITS too much for me-" he said.

When the action of the court was
announced, several fights occurred in

BIRMINGHAM, ALA-Notwithstand'
- ing the fact that the United States
Constitution declares that no one shall
be imprisoned for debt the effort Is
sometimes made to use the police
court as a collecting agency, generally
by a creditor preferring a charge Of
obtaining goods by false pretences or
embezzlement OF course this doesn't
always work with the judge, and it
generally results in the prosecutor
being taxed with the costs.
There was a reversal of this pro-
cedure the other day at the police
court when Elsie Allen. tall, gaunt
negro woman Of forbidding aspect, was
arraigned on a charge Of disorderly
conduct based on her efforts to collect
a debt of 20 cents.
The old woman acted as her own
attorney in the case and in the ability
to ask rambling questions easily came
up to any OF the distinguished prac-
titioners that daily haunt the city
forum. Not only that, she did what
a lawyer rarely does in the police
court-she cleared the defendant,
thereby setting aside the familiar ad-
age that 'he Tor she) who is his Tor
herr own attorney has a fool for a
client"
The principal witness against the
amiable Elsie was a Xanthic colored
maiden Of elephantine proportions
named Molly Maybray. Mollys state
1ment was to the effect that she had
