DUPLICATES GREWSOMe FIND
Relates Discovery OF Body Floating in
Lake as Second One
Drifts In.

Chicago Robert Matheson and his
son, Charles have decided to discon-
tinuc their MONDAY cOnstitutionals on
the lake shore Their last two visits
have resulted i'm the finding OF human
bodies in the lake and they think they
can discover a more interesting pas
time than removing the gre" some
bodies from the water.
Mr. Mathpson and his son left their
home at S2i Dakin street shortly be-
core noon the other day and walked
over To the lake to take the air The
father pointed out a short distance
from the shore line and called the
attention OF his son to spot in the
water
Right there is where ! found the
body Of a man floating In the water
two days ago" said he
We'll. why didn't you take II out ,
7 see Il is still In the water" replied
the con
No. 1t isn't. had II removed. and
they held an inquest over It the same
day" said the elder Matheson.
Then there's another body In the
same spot" answered Charles Mathe-
son.
+ d. Semp. a park policeman. was
called and Immediately decided that
the object was the body OF a man
After little effort IL was dragged up
to the shore at the foot OF Addison
street and the coroner was notified
The body proved to be that Of
man about fifty-five years old. FIVE
feet eight inches tall. weighing about
100 pounds. with dark hair and a
sandy mustache The only mark by
which he might be identified was the
word Kane" on his vest
4 can't imagine a more remarkable
coincidence than the finding OF that
body at this spot, and just as we were
discussing the first one" said the
younger Mr. Matheson later In the
day. There Is something grewsome
about IT, and | don't believe we viii
spend much time looking into the
water again. II might Increase the
death rate TO an alarming extent"

TEACHER-M0THER SUES
FOR REINSTATEMENT
Court Directs Board of EduCa-
ton to Show Cause Why
Writ Should Not Issue.
TRIAL BIASED, is CHARGE
Mrs. Peixotto, Who Was Dis
missed for Neglecting Her
School to Give Birth to a
Child, Seeks Back Pay.

Mrs Bridget c. Peixotto obtained from
Justice Ncwburger yesterday an order di-
reoting the Board of Education to show
cause why she should not be reInstated
as a teacher in charge OF Public School IA.
in The Bronx. She was dismissed on
October on a charge of neglect of
duty" the basis of the charge In reality
being that she had recently become a
mother.
Mrs. Peixotto says that rot only was
the action of the Board of Education il
legal and unwarranted. but that her trial
on the charge was "a mere form and q
subterfuge TO pretend compliance with the
statute regulating trials of teachers" and
that the decision OF the Board of Educa-
ton was prejudiced, predetermined and
due to bias against married woman
teacher who gave birth to a child while in
the employment Of the Board Of Educa-
ton.
The order Of Justice Newburger directs
the Board of Education to answer next
Wednesday and show cause why man.
damus should not be issued directing the
reinstatement Of Mrs. Peixotto. with fer
back salary.
In her petition Mrs Peixotto said she
had been a teacher for eighteen years or
more. at a salary OF &. 100 year. Also
she has contributed her pro rata share TO
the teachers pension fund.
Two separate charges were preferred
against her, the first for absence without
leave and the second for neglect or duty.
She was tried and dismissed on the second
charge.
The first charge specified that her con-
tinued absence was for the purpose OF
bearing a child" This notice of suspen-
sion was dated April 22. and although II
was never withdrawn Mrs. Peixotto re-
ceived a second notice. dated May s. from
Abraham Stern, chairman Of the commit
tee on elementary schools, that charges
of neglect Of duty were made against her
for being absent from duty without leave
since on or about February 3. 1918.
The dismissed teacher said that she APP
peared before the committee on June "
to answer the first charge She said that
II was proved that she had not absented
herself without leave. on June % the
committee submitted 10 the board ma
tority and minority report, ad)udgihs
her guilty of neglect OF duty" Dr. WHO
submitted the minority report exoneratihs
Mrs. Peixotto, and also submitted to the
board for adoption a resolution dismissing
the charges.
