Capt. James w. English and Mr..
Samuel NJ. Inman have given gener-
GUS amounts toward the establishment
at Atlanta, Ga, of a school, the pur-
pose of which is to train the willing
Negroes of the city to meet the pres
ent demand for competent labor along
the lines for which there is the most
demand
The school, If developed on the
plans described, will mark the first
practical stel. to solve the so-called
servant problem in Atlanta and will
prove a factor of usefulness to both
races.
The plan is to train the students to
meet the demands of the life which
surrounds them. Every feature of the
curriculum will relate to a commu-
nifty activity and a chance will be
given the man or woman in service
who may not have had the right kind
or any training.
In this latter department of the
school the housekeepers of Atlanta
are urged to cooperate. 1t is asked
that the servant who may wish to bet
ter train himself or herself for any
branch of domestic service be allowed
one hour day, three times week,
for lessons in any of the branches of
household service.
The school is the earnest effort of
Richard d. Stinson, who is Negro
educator of excellent training and one
who has made close study of the
conditions of his race as they are
today.

 Electricians.

Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 2s-Two thousand union pickets were thrown around the plant of the General Elec- tric Company today to appeal with non-union workers to join them in the general walkout which began yester- day.
 There was no violence, and only in a few cases were epithets shouted at the non-strikers. For a time a clash between the unionists and the com pany guards threatened. Shortly be- fore the gates opened for the admis- sion of the day workers, more than 1000 strikers appeared outside the plant. The guards insisted that the men and women withdraw to the troll ley tracks which are about 15o feet from the gates. This the strikers re- fused to do.
 While heated words were passing between the guards and the crowd, Commissioner of Public Safety John E.. Cole arrived. He ruled that the as they liked as long as they did not interfere with the work of the plant. His ruling was greeted with shouts of approval by the strikers.
 General Manager George D. Elm mons was at the plant early today but he said that there were no develop ments in the situation. Asked if he
 
 sired their old positions he replied:
 I will take no technical advantage of the situation"
 Further than that he refused to say anything but his answer was con strued as meaning that any person who wants to return to work under open shop conditions may do so.
 A mass meeting of union workers was to be held today fin the Peoples Church. Mrs Ella Reeves Bloor, of New York who has charge of the women strikers, has organized a strike fund committee and is soliciting as- sistance.

 OLD CHARGE OF EMBEzzLEMEN |
East End Nuptials Planned For Tonight Are Shattered By Me1odramatic Appearance Of Massachusetts
 Police Offscials

As a result, he says, of a. terrible mistake on the part of another, and claiming to be unjustly accused, John J. Hines of 1,275 Stra tford avenue was this morning taken to Newton, Mass, by Police Inspector Fletcher Of that city, charged with shortage in former accounts to the amount of $92. To- night he was to take Sarah P. Cu1lins Of the same Bridgeport address as his bride a quiet wedding having been arranged as a fit ushering in Of real Thanksgiving. Yokohama never re- lated more inter rest-conpelling mar ratfve as, according to his story, he is the victim of circumstances over which he had no control. Extradition was waived, as he says that he is guiltless and desires to clear himself fully and as speedily as possible He was hopeful that the matter could be taken up at once so that he would be able to have the wedding without post ponement.
 The arrest was made yesterday af- ternoon at an East Side manufactur- ing plant by Detective Sergean Edward Cronan and Detective James Bray of Police Headquarters, following a. re- quest from the Newton authorities. More than his own interests, he says he considered the feelings of the girl, who had promised to love and obey him through eternity. ''It could be borne much easier, if there was any ground for it, said he, s'but I never took a nickel not my own
 Save that he was wanted to explain a shortage in his accounts, considered closed last July, there was nothing ad- vanced by the Newton authorities to explain the charge. Hines explained that previous to coming to Bridgeport he had been stationed in Newton for two years in charge of work for the

Metropolitan Insurance Company.
 When he decided to leave, accord ing to his story, his accounts were audited by representatives of the com pany and the Surety Company on his bond. He says further that they in- formed him that they balanced cor rect1y and that he left with the best of feelings and nothing to indicate that there was anything out of the way. Since then, he says, there had been no indications to cause him to change this opinion until the detec- tives appeared with a warrant.
 He can only think that there is a terrible mistake and that he is made the victim of another's mistake. He informed the officials at police head QIarters that he was to be married tonight and that he had been looking forward to the event, that his work was going fine and everything appear ed suspicious for success.
 A marriage license was issued Mon day to John J. Hines and Sarah P. Cullins, both giving the Stratford ave nue address. Hines gave his age as 25 years and his occupation as a clerk Miss Cullins' age was given as g and as living at home.
 Although a resident of Bridgeport but for a short time, Hines has made many friends and is well thought of Those knowing him refuse to believe that he is in any way at fault. His employer told him that he believed ih him and would stand by him if the charges were false. If guilty, he said Hines would have to paddle his own canoe"
 It is today understood that Miss Cullins had also gone to Newton to stand by him and refuses to believe that he is guilty. Her going could not be verified.
