SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
SCORED BY BOARD
Mr.. Kennedy's Letter Attacking
Architect GuiIbert Is Called
Discourteous.

"Discourteous and couched in terms
| that were not exactly polite toward
the architect Mr.. Guilbert, or to the
building committee of the Board of
Education" was the manner in which
| Commissioner Ambrose Tompkins. of
the board, characterized a letter writ
ten to the committee by Principal
Thomas f. Kennedy, of the new
South Side High School, which is
nearing completion. Mr.. Kennedy's'
letter caused considerable discussionat
the meeting of the building committee
YESTERDAY afternoon, and the general
consensus of the members, according
to Mr.. Tomplxins was that the prlnci-
pals letter was not fair to Mr. Gull
bert.
The letter of Mr. Kennedy, accord
ing to Mr.. Guilbert, complained of the
office which had been assigned to him,
on the ground that the lighting facili-
ties were not of the best The prtnci-
pal declared that he intended to use
the office of the vice-principaL which
was better lighted and more airy.
Another thing objected to by Mr..
Kennedy was an odor pipe running
from the kitchen range through the
office which he declared could be
run through a closet on the outside
of the office. This Mr.. Guilbert told
the committee it would be almost inn
possible to change.
Mr.. Kennedy, when told by re-
porter of the Evening Star of Mr.
Tompkins's characterization of his
letter, said: at was not my inten-
ton to be discourteous in any way.
1t seems to me they are making a
great fuss over trifling matter.
Ibid Mr.. Tompkins say whom / re-
ferred TO discourteously?' Mr.. Ken
nedy asked.
"Why, yes, to Mr.. Gullbert, and in
directly to the committee" was the
reply.
well, I certainly did not intend to
do either" replied Mr.. Kennedy. Il
merely made certain recommended
lions. The matter OF offices was set
tied upon long ago. / decided upon a
smaller office than the one desig-
mated for me because 1t was more con-
venient. l also objected to the pipe
because 1t was unsightly."
mir. Guilbert says it would be al
most impossible to change the pipe
now" the reporter ventured
well, there are others who think
differently" retorted Mr.. Kennedy.
The communication of Mr.. Kennedy
was referred to President Charles p.
Taylor and Mr.. Tompkins for action.
The latter declared It was referred to
the president as we'll as himself be-
cause of its "discourteous tone

SIGN ORDINANCE
UP TO COMMITTEE
City Counsel Nugent, Building
Inspector o'Rourke and En-
oineer Sherrerd Named.

The proposed ordinance regulating
the placing of projecting signs will
be drawn by City Counsel James r.
Nugent, Superintendent of Buildings
William p. O'Rourke and Chief En-
gineer Morris r. Sherrerd. This was
decided upon at a conference be-
tween the members of the Board of
Works, Mr.. O'Rourke, John O'Rourke,
assistant superintendent of buildings,
and John J. Gaffney, electrical in
speetor, yesterday afternoon.
The ordinance as drawn by Mr..
O'Rourlxe and submitted to the board
for approval contained seven Sec
tons. 1t was finally agreed that sec
ton 4 should constitute the ordinance
itself, while the other provisions
could be embodied in a set of rules
and regulations under the jurisdiction
Of the building department.
Section 4 provides that before
projecting sign can be placed on any
structure a permit must first be OBJ
tained from the building department
and shall be subject to the approval
OF the Board of Works. It also pro-
vides a charge of 81 per square foot
for the permit and prescribes that
before a sign can be erected, the per-
mission of adjoining property owners
must be obtained. All electrical
equipments must be in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the
city electrical department.
Commissioners Kraemer and Dem
man were both of the opinion that
the building department should in
vestigate all applications for perlnis-
sion to erect projecting signs ana
should then submit the matter to the
board to see if there was any en-
creachnnent on the street lines. This
would put the matter squarely up 10
the building department with only the
90. K" of the board necessary. Mr..
ORourlxe agreed that this was a good
plan and was in reality just what he
was advocating.
Regarding the charges there seemed
TO be considerable difference of opin-
ion. Commissioned Gillen was of the
opinion that 81 a square foot was too
excessive a charge. Both Mr.
O'Rourke and Mr.. Gaffney, who came
armed with considerable data on the
subject pointed out that this was
the charge in other cities, and that in
New York city, for instance, an an
n,Ial fee of 10 cents per square foot
was charged.
Mr.. Denman raised the point that
there was some doubt in his mind
whether this charge could be regarded
in the form of a license. He said it
might be possible TO regard it either
as a penalty or tax, provided the
ordinance regulating the placing of
projecting signs we're passed. Mr..
D'Rourke declared that he was will
ing 10 regard it in the nature of
penalty if it could not be construed
as a license.
The provision declaring that the
consent of adjoining property owners
must be secured was objected to by
DR.. Kraemer, who said it was I'M
fair and would retard progress. At
this juncture President Ryan sug-
gested that the entire matter be re-
ferred to the law department, the
chief engineer and Mr.. O'Rourlze,
(which met with general satisfaction

Frees Man Who Tried to Get
Back Theatre Ticket Money

Luke Ward. forty-fve years old. of
$40 Hillside avenue, was today dis
charged by Judge Hahn in the First
Criminal Court following his arrest
last night by Detectives Fohs and
Donnelly at the Lyric Theatre on a
charge of lettering.
1t was explained to the court that
Ward, accompanied by two friends,
purchased three tickets for the per-
Torrance, but when he entered the
theatre he could not find a vacant
seat. He went to the box office and
demanded his money back. When his
request was denied he is alleged to
have put his hand through the box
office window to get his money, which
he did not succeed in doing.
According to the manager of the
house, the receipts showed that thirty
cents was short, and with the dismiss
sal of the complaint the manager was
ordered to return fifteen cents to the
prisoner, who was discharged with a
warning by the court to in the future
not take the law into his own hands.

HEALTH BOARD IN
TILT ON ENGINEER
Secret Session Follows Clash
Over Appointment--Com-
mend Health Officer.

The appointment OF an engineer for
the City Hospital caused tilt between
Board of Health Commissioner John
H. Mclean and his colleagues last
night which resulted in a two-hour
secret session, despite the wishes OF
three of the commissions.
The matter under discussion was an
aftermath to the appointment of the
engineer and resolved itself largely
into an attack on Commissioner j. H.
Mclean. who. as he stated, had been
turned down because he supported a
man named Russo. the only union
man on the civil service list. In con-
tradiction DR.. Wrightson stated that
the new appointee, John Thompson,
was a union man. which, however,
was denied by Mr.. Mclean.
The first sign that gave evidence
of how matters stood was the report
of the subcommittee appointed to Sc
Iect q candidate on the civil service
list. The committee consisted of Mr..
Wrightson, Mr.. Mclean and Charles
Z. Talbot, the superintendent.
It was stated that Mr.. Wrightson
and Mr.. Talbot were favoring Mr.
Thompson because he was the highest
man and was both a steam and cleo
was only q steam engineer. MIR. Nc
Lean had favored Russo. AS Mr.. Tall
bot was an employee of the board,
DR.. Wrightson stated, the committee
had not seen its way clear to vote on
the matter. The board then decided
in favor of Thompson, secret ballot
resulting in vote of 6 TO !, two of
the commissioners not casting a vote.
The members went into secret ses-
sion Mr.. Martin, who, except to say
that some time ago he was employed
at the City Hospital, refused after
wards to state any thing further
about himself, was called in. He was
put through cross-examination
which at various times grew so loud
that snatches of 1t penetrated to the
outer room.
The cross examination appeared to
be about a conversation which Mr..
Mclean and Mr. Martin are said to
have had recently and which centred
around the question asked the COM
Looks like we will soon
have a new boss?" and being an
swered: 81 guess So"
When the commissioners let Mr..
Martin go, from what could be heard,
they one and all attacked their col
league, Mclean. One of them at one
time shouted the question: well.
why are you not more explicit about
the conversation This question fol-
lowed the remark by Mr.. Mclean
that he could not remember the con-
versation exactly. There also seemed
to be some dispute as to whether the
conversation took place in or in front
of a saloon.
Following the secret session the
commissioners refused to state what
It was about. It Is understood that
of both Mr.. Martin
and Mr.. Mclean had the appointment
of the new engineer as the back
ground.
Previous to the executive session
the members commended the work of
Health officer Chandler. The matter
was brought up by Commissioner
Foyle, who declared that recent criti-
cisms of Mr.. Chandler were unfair.

FAMILY STARVES AS
FATHER SEEKS JOB
Children's Aid Society Learns OF
Plight When Man Asks
Aid.

In the belief that he was coming to
a city OF opportunity, where work
could be had for the asking. James
A. Terrill moved here with his wife
and two children from Warren, Pa,
three weeks ago.
The family took room in board
ing-house at 81 Liberty street, and
Terrill went out TO look for work.
He didn't find any the first day. Nor
was his search any the more success
full the second and third days. The
first week slipped away, then the
second and the third. Meanwhile
Mrs. Terrill had become i'll. The chill
dren, Ralph. aged seven, and Ken
meth, three, were on a starvation diet
of dry bread. Finally, since the rent
was unpaid, their landlady threat
ened eviction unless 50 was paid to
her.
Terrill found an odd job to do yes
terday. He was paid for his days
work 81 in cash and an overcoat
When he returned at night no one
would open the door for him. He
rang the bell repeatedly, waited for
half an hour and went off again. He
knew that he could earn another doll
lar today, and his intention probably
was to spend the night on the street
or in some cheap lodging house and
work today.
The plight OF his two sons was re-
ported by the father TO the Children's
Aid Society. Ralph and Kenneth were
both taken to the organizations shell
ter, 249 Mulberry street. The society
is seeking funds to place them in
homes.
Mrs. Terrill will be visited by city
doctor and probably sent to the City
Hospital She is in a weakened con-
dition resulting from the privation
that has accompanied her illness. All
she and the children had to eat yes
terday was a small piece of toast.
