ment and class day exercises will be
held in Proctor's theatre on June 13

spite the fact that the Board Of Ed
uCation at its meeting last night ap-
parently gave up all hope of securing
IT for the exercises this year. Com
missioner Louis NJ. ROssi, of the
teachers committee, informed the
board that he had been unable to

13. and commencement exercises on
the evening of June IA. Tho dates
last year were June II and 16, re-
spectively. Mr.. Rossi expressed con
siderable satisfaction this morning
in being able to secure the theatre,
for the board desires TO give the

dations available. MIR. Rossi said
last night at the meeting of the
board that he had written on three
occasions to Harry Brunelle, mana
ger of Proctor's theatre, Of New
York city, but had received no re-
| sponse, therefore deemed it advisa,
| BILE to make other arrangements.
Explanation of Delay.

which he informed the commissioner
that the dates were satisfactory tc

board had been unsuccessful In Sc

WITH PERJURY
Recorder Reserves Decision
believes MaFusky Guilty.

On complaint of Steve VonkoW-
ski, that he had wrongfully accused
him of highway robbery and had
thereby become falsely imprisoned,
Joseph Marusky, a Pole, forty years
old, of 622 Penn street, was ar
raigned before Recorder Kehoe last

court heard testimony on both sides
and arrived at the conclusion that
Marusky had lied and sworn falsely
when he swore out a warrant for
Vonkowski because he claimed the
latter had robbed him of SIS few
weeks ago. The recorder said he
had little respect for Marusky and
would send him to jail at once were
it not for the fact that he was the
head of a large family. Decision
was reserved until the recorder
could confer with Prosecutor Silzer
about the case.
Marusky reiterated his story OF
the alleged robbery last night He
produced woman, neighbor, tC
testify that she saw Vonkowski run
ming from the formers home on the
night Murasky claimed he had been
robbed. Mrs. Marusky swore that
her husband had Deen partly choReu
into submission and robbed of SIS
by Vonkowski. The court said it
did not believe. the story of the rob
berry and did not at the time Won
kowski was committed, but declar-
ed the evidence so Overwhelming
against him that there was nothing
left to do but hold him to await the
action of the grand jury. Mr.. Ke-
hoe declared Marusky should be
"railroaded" and were 1t not for his
children he would be locked VI
without delay.
Paul Piasezki, a saloonkeeper al

claimed Marusky lost his money

DESPITE STAND
Action of Excise Board Last
Night Causes Surprise
Peter Horbatt Licensed.
VOTE OF THREE TO ONE
At March Meeting He Was
Considered an Undesirable
Applicant Favor GaEaida.

Contrary to stand taken at its
previous meetiGg-to place a ban on
license peddling Board of EX-
Commissioners at Its monthly
meeting last night granted licenses
to persons who the members had
previously determined undesirable
on that account. A transfer Of the
saloon license of Abraham David
son, ct 233 New Brunswick avenue,
to Peter Horbatt, was granted de-
spite the fact that there was every
Indication at the previous meeting
that it would be refused and two
commissioners openly voiced senti-
ments against Horbatt. In a sim
liar manner did three members vote
to transfer the saloon license of
Alexander Klonokskt, in Fox Hill
road, to Joseph 7. Galaida, last
night, although President Fritzing-
er and all the commissioners, with
the exception of Mr.. Burns, appear
ed opposed to Galaida securing the
place and the application was there
after refused at the March meet
ing.
One Transfer Refused.
All applications before the board
last night with one exception were
granted. The application for a
transfer of the saloon license of
George Cherevka, at T28 Cortlandt
street, to William AdamsRi, was re-
fused by q full vote of the four COM
missioners present.
When the application for trans
fer from Davidson to Horbatt came
up at the March meeting it was laid
over on motion Of Commissioner
Henderson seemingly with the un-
derstanding that 1t was to be re-
fused last night. Two OF the mem
bers signihed they were opposed to
granting 1t at that time. President
Fritzinger said Horbatt was famil-
lar and strongly intimated he was
an undesirable applicant. He stated
he did not believe in laying over
such an application, contending that
the board should do with 1t at once
what it intended to do. The appli-
cation was handled last night with
out discussion and granted by q vote
| of three to one.
