Patrick Kearney of 45 Barnum ave nue punched Thomas Cannon, 67l East Main street, over the right eye. knocked him down, then dug his heel into Gannon's face in an altercatlon as the two returned from work last evening.
 Today Cannon is in danger of los ing a large section of his lower lip. Kearney has gone to jail for 50 days. Gannon's face looks like crazy quilt and there is no fight left in him.
 Gannon's forehead was split open at the firstepunch. and the heavy heel of his adversary tore his lip from the left corner diagonally across the chin.
 Dr. Parker took two stitches in his forehead, and 10 stitches in. the cut beneath his mouth, when the victim was brought by the police to the emergency hospital.
 Judge Foster found Cannon not guilty of drunkenness and sent him to the emergency hospital for treat ment when the two belligerents were arraigned before him in the city court this forenoon. Kearney he sen- fenced ito jail for 60 days and added fine of $1 and costs.

Neighbors of Evelyn's Mother Declare They Saw the
 Infant

Pittsburgh, May 14-That Mrs. Eve Iyn Nesbitt Thaw and her 21 months old baby boy Anthony" have been in Brookline, Pittsburgh suburb, for more than a week, was asserted today by two women neighbors of Mir. and Mrs Charles J. Holman, Stepfather and mother of Mrs. ThaW.
 The. neighbors requested that their names be withheld but they insisted that they had seen the mother and child several times. The Holmans live in Berkshire avenue, Brookline. Efforts to secure information at the Holman residence proved unsuccessful today, repeated rings at the door bell being unanswered.
 Roger OMara, the detective. who has aided Harry Kendall Thaw, Stanford Whites slayer, in his fight for release from Matteawan, today. persisted in his disbelief of the story of the birth of an heir to the Thaw millions. He denied that an investigation had been started by the Thaw family to con- firm or refute the report. which prov ed yesterdays sensation for New York city. He said he did not know where Evelyn Thaw; was.
 There was much speculation here to- day regarding the report that Evelyn Thaw is engaged in preparations to sue for $15.000 alleged to be due her under contract she is said to have with the Thaws.

 |; A fire extinguishers agent appeared
 before the board. He criticised the present facilities for taking care of fires in ,4the school buildings. The board agreed with him that the -facili- ties were not the best and upon mo- ton of MT. Challenger the commit tee on supplies was instructed to look into the matter of buying fire extin- guishers.
 r Supt. Deane's monthly report show ed total registration of 14.573; an gains of 4n and -571 over the same month of last year. Agent David Gi- hand told the board that June was the best month for him to take his vacation. He was granted privilege ? to take it the first two weeks Of next month
 F Attorney John J. Cullinan offered the report of the committee on rules. MT. Challenger thought that the members of the board should each be furnished with a copy and that special meet ing be held to consider the resolutions It was suggested that the board had been two years on this matter. Pres ident Lieberum will call a special meeting to consider the report. z A report showed the total deposits from the savings system. to- be $13,- 206.s3 from 13 schools. MT. Brady said that he thought some children who were able to do 50 were depositing as much as q. g and some $5, at time and that this practice makes the poor Ter children ashamed to make their penny deposits. This practice he thought was defeating the aims of the plan which were to catch the pennies and teach sewing s.
 The returns, however, show larger deposits. in the districts where the chi1- dren of the poorer people live and it was stated that deposits with few ex- captions, were small Supt. Deane said that some trouble was had by the withdrawals before the first inter est period. The board will take ac- tion to remedy this, probably by es- tablishing a rule to have the deposits, life standing until the interest periods were near a close.
