LEASING OF ACADEMY
Says Cerman-American School
=. Building Answers Purpose.

Following his suggestion of several
weeks ago, City Superintendent of
Schools DR.. Addison b. Poland yes
terday recommended to the instruc-
ton and educational supplies commit
tee of the Board of Education that
the building of the German-American
Academy in Goes place be rented.
DR.. Poland declared that ii was the
most available school, with gym
nasium and auditorium combined, and
could well be used for grouping a
number of classes for defective chill
dren, thereby proving more satisfac-
tory than separate classes for such
children in various parts Of the city.
Besides a large room, there are eight
classrooms' In the building and a
vacant lot nearby which could be
rented as a playground. DR.. Poland
concluded by saying that additional
school room was needed at once.

the death OF Mrs. Irene Goheen, an

Jeffries was held without bail by

Justice Hill and Jeffries there is a
friendship of long standing and the
scene in the court room this afternoon
when Justice Hill announced his de
cision, was pathetic.
Jeffries was committed to Jail with
out being given the privilege of max
ing bond, although his attorneys will
make an effort tomorrow to procure
bail for him.
Arguments for the state began at
the morning session, County Attorney
Thaves being followed by Bert Van
Leuven for the defense.
J. E. Rider, an attorney for the de-
fendant, contended that Jeffries, hav-
ing testified at the coroner's inquest,
was immune from the prosecution on
the ground that witness, having given
testimony which would tend to incrim-
mate him, could not be prosecuted for
a crime connected with that to which
he gave testimony.
His contentious were overruled.
