good and pleases the audience"
The three KeatonS, in their famous

STRIKE AMONG

AGAINST SUPERINTENDENT
Movement Has Older Heads
Behind 1t

Pittsburg, April 22.-The first fa

school children organized as protests
against Superintendent l.. Heeter, Oc-
Cured today when an unidentified
girl, marching with a hundred or
more of her companions in Pennsyl'
vania avenue was run down by 4
street car and killed.
The strike" which began yes e =
day soon after MIR. Heeter, who hal
Deen acquitted Of serious charges
preferred against him by domes,c I
in his family, had returned to work,
spread to a number of school buildings
today. Reports received from four
schools showed that scarcely 25 per
cent. of the pupils were in their places.
In all sections of the city as the
day advanced there We're repeated
calls for additional police Because
of the character of the rioters" the
police found it difficult to handle the
situation, but in a number Of in.
stances succeeded in dispensing some
of the gatherings by talking with the
cider children.
However, the Strike" continued to
spread and reports began coming in
from school after school saying that
the children refuse to attend the ses-
sions and were parading about the
neighborhood Of the school build
ings. Many of the parades are led
toward the center of the city through
masses of traffic, while the sidewalks
were lined with grown folks unde-
cided whether to be indignant or take
the matter as joke.
Superintendent McQuaide, of the
police, this morning said that older
heads had inspired the movement.
President d. B. Oliver, of the board
of education, in statement this
morning said
This is an organized and financed
movement to down the school board

the state undertakes the publication of
them.
Mr.. McCrory's letter is as follows:

COMPROMISE IN

mier Charles de Broqueville announc-
cd this afternoon in the chamber OF
deputies that the government had ac-
! Ctpted with an unimportant amend
nent the resolution introduced BY F
F., Mason, the liberal leader, providing
I FOR a compromise in the political
strike that has prevailed in Belgium
for about a week.
This means that the strike will end
at once.
The compromise is regarded as ia
vorable to the workmen, nearly half
million of whom laid down then'
tools to enforce their demand for
equal suffrage.
The leaders of the socialist trades
unions and their followers, gained
their chief point, which was to maize
the government take up for consider
alton a change of the Belgian parlia-
mentary franchise with its hated sys-
TEN of plural votes for the wealthier
and more educated classes.
The chamber of deputies adopted a
resolution by M. Mason, with an
amendment moved by the premier
condemning the principle of a gen
eral strike.

SIGNS Still
DEFACE some
TREES 6 POSTS
FLAGRANT VIOLATIONS OF LAW
Section Of City Code Pro-
hibitS This

So fragrant recently have been the
violations of city ordinance relative
20 the NJ cling of signs and notices on
trees and telephone posts within .le
city In its that attention is called 10
that section of the code of city or6i-
nances which relates to this matter.
Chief of Police Barrow has pointed out
this violation of city ordinances.
The passage of the city code rela-
tive to the placing of signs, ETC., is
as follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son to paste, tack, or by any other
means attach any bill, poster, tin sign
or advertising matter, or in any way
deface or mutilate any tree, telegraph,
telephone or electric light pole, locat-
ed on any street within the CORPORATE
limits of the city"
This is the complete section of tha
code relative to this matter, and it may
be seen from it that the placing ce
signs on trees and posts, such as has
been done in several instances recent
ly, is a violation of the ordinance. Not
withstanding the fact that their at
tention has been called to the matter,
the signs placed on trees and telephone
posts within the heart of the citp
have not been removed
