At the meeting Of the Board Of
Education last night both told Of
moving pictures being used in the
schools Of some of the Western cities
They said that in practically all the
cities there were at least the ordin-
airy lantern slides used.
Mr. Baynard said that every school
IN California had its lecture hall

Walter J. Campbell said he thought
the Board should be up-to-date and
have the moving pictures In the local
schools.
superintendent Scott stated that
the Edison Company now had an inn
proved moving picture machine whicn
could be secured at a slightly in
creased cost over the ordinary lantern
and that the films could be rented
at reasonable figure.
DR. Thomas O. Cooper said a lantern
and slides had been In use i'm School
No ? for several years. He heartily
favored installing the moving pic
lures.
Superintendent Scott was directed
70 ascertain what it would cost to
install the moving pictures.
Mr. Baynard stated that there We're
many innovations in the schools; that
the children did everything from half

else
Mr. Scott said that President Bay

pie had boosted their state lie said
that at the palace of education were
shown moving pictures Of the work

and he had arranged to have these
brought 10 Wilmington so that the
members OF the Board Of Education
and the public generally could enjoy
them and see what was done IN their

LIGHTNING BURNED
OUT SOME CONDUITS

well, we are not responsible for
lightning. only for overdrawn ac-
counts said President Samuel H..
Baynard. at an adjourned meeting Of
the Board of Education last evening,
when it was reported that insurance
underwriters had stopped The repairs
TO the electrical wiring in the High
School because the wiring was not
up TO the standard set by the under
writer's. During a storm recently
lightning struck one of the FIVE cleo
trical condIits in the building and
as result the superintendents Of
fee. the basement and part Of the
second floor are now without lighting
facilities.
Robert S. Glover, of Garrett. Miller
and Company, which firm had start
ed 10 repair the wiring. said that the
lightning had burned through an iron
conduit box and if these wires had
been behind the plaster and next to
the lath the building would have been
set on fire and there might not be any
High School now. Engineer Thomas
had been ordered to have the repairs
made
The objections of the underwriters
to the wiring, fifteen in number were
read by Mr.. Glover at the meeting.
They relate to the type of cut-outs,
fuses, etc, in use. which are anti
Quated.
Mr.. Glover said the cost of the
work clnid only be ascertained when
the work was actually done. as the
condition of the wires would not be
known until thoy ere uncovered
President Baynard thought that the
lights might he sacrificed until the
Board had more money He sa'a the
board had four lean years and might
have two more
Walter J. Campbell, of the Tenth
ward. said the work would have to
be done. as the building was in dan
ger The committee on High School
was directed to have the work done.
The cost of re-wiring the building
will be $1,000, some persons esti-
mated, but Mr.. Glover thought the
cost would not reach that figure.

SCHOOL BIDS EXCEED
MONEY AVAILABLE
For New SchooIhouse at Quaker Hill
Modify Plans.

The Waterford school board is en-
countering difficulties over the figures
Of bids and the available appropriation
for a new six room school building at
Quaker Hill, bids for the construction
OF which were recently opened. The
lowest bid was from the Connecticut
Engineering and Construction company
of this city, being $19,742 for the main
structure and $500 for the necessary
outbuildings. The highest bid was
several thousand dollars in excess of
this sum.
The problem which the school board
faces is to stretch the $4,000 appro-
priation SO as to cover the construction
OF the building, together with the heat
Ing and plumbing equipment and the
furnishing. According to a prominent
citizen of Waterford, the latter feature
will entail an expenditure. of about
$500. AS the lowest bid for the struc-
ture itself is $20,642 and as the esti-
mated cost of furnishing an dequip-
ment would bring the total up to an
amount in excess of $4,000, there is a
deficit Of $4,000 that must be met in
some manner.
The architect who was engaged to
prepare the original plans has now
been asked to modify them in a man
ner so that the cost of the building
may be materially reduced. It is stated
that the school board had hoped to
have the structure erected for a sum
i'm the vicinity Of $4,000, leaving the
balance of the $4,000 appropriation for
equipment and furniture.

JAIL SENTENCE FOR REGARDING
Norwich Man Found Guilty Forgery Charge-Must Serve
Three Months Mary Perone on Probation Under Sus-
pended Sentence-May Term of Supreme Court Was
Adjourned Thursday.

Ralph Ricardino, alias James Peter,
of this city was found guilty of the
charge of forgery by the jury in the
criminal superior court in New Lon
don on Thursday morning. He was
sentenced to three months in Jail.
Sentence was pronounced Immediately
after the return of the jury.
Ricardino has been on trial since
Tuesday morning charged with forg-
ing and uttering a check for $3.50
on the Uncas National bank of Nor
Wich and forging the name of Lewis
Shapiro of Norwich
When court came in Thursday morn
ing State Attorney Hull finished the
closing argument which he was MAX
ing when court adjourned Wednesday
afternoon. He argued until 1855
when Judge Shumway charged the
jury occupying until lib. The jury
deliberated about As minutes and then
returned with the verdict of guilty.
State Attorney Hull moved for
sentence Immediately and Ricardino
was sentenced to spend three months
in the county jail.
Ricardino's defence was an alibi and
denial on the ground that he could
neither read nor write English and
therefore could not have forged the
check. The state did not claim that
he actually forged the check, but that
he was at least an accessory,

TESTING STRENGTH OF
STEAMSHIP TERMINAL
Concrete Units at New London Pier
Subjected to Great Weight.

The great state steamship terminal
at East New London, now in a state
of partial completion, is receiving it's
first practical test. The west bulkhead
has been entirely covered with the re-
inforced concrete units which will con-
stitute the surface of the pier and upon
it are being un1oaded cargoes of sand
and crushed stone that arrive by water.
Huge piles ten feet in height indicate
the resistance Of the units. The sand
comes in lighters from Long Island
and the crushed stone by similar con-
veyance from the New Haven Trap
Rock company.
These shipments are utilized in
making more concrete units, the con-
struction and laying of which are now
being rushed. Nearly $50 are now in
place. Other details of the terminal
construction are going along satisfac-
torily. 1t had been hoped to hold a
meeting of the commission before this
but it was found necessary to defer it
because of the demands on Governor
Holcomb's time made by the general
assembly. Now that it's session is over
a meeting will probably be held short

is the building of a superstructure,
consisting of warehouses, sheds and

HAS HIS STUDIO
MOVED ABOUT BY OXEN
One of the Curiosities at the Paint. |
ers' Colony at Lyme.

One of the curiosities of the paint
ers colony at Lyme is a perambu-
Iating studio. 1t belongs to Henry
R, Poore, of East Orange, N. J., whose
canvas, Pilgrim Sons, painted from
the travelling atelier, was shown at
the recent Academy exhibition.
The studio resembles a house On a
stoneboat. 1t is drawn from place
to place by two yoke of oxen, which
gives the outfit the primitive New
England flavor. Mr.. PoOre paints win
ter scenes in the cosey protection af-
foFded by his travelling studio and, as
those who are familiar with the rigors
of New England winters are aware,
the warmth and comfort of four walls,
fur rugs and blue flame oil stove
are not to be despised.
Mr.. Poore is addicted to travelling
studios. AS far back as 1890 he had
one which he operated in the pictur-
esque country in the vicinity of Phil
adelphia. This one was constructed on
single horse in the shafts. 1t was
beautifully made and coach finished.
while it lasted it was my studio
COACH" explained Mr.. Poora, "but after
a season in the open the glory of it's
brilliancy had departed and it received
Maria. 1t had a window on each of
the four sides and was sufficiently high
to stand in comfortably. 1t was heat
ed by a small oil stove.
II was able to drive this studio over
the fields, and while 1 found it an ad-
mlraole device for the painting of dis
lance and middle distance, it gave me
a too precipitous view in the fore
ground. So I sold the Black Maria
to a peddler and turned my attention
to building another studio. After my
experience I knew just how the next
one should be built
Il wished to paint the wonderfully
picturesque country about Lyme,
where for the past Is years 1 have
had a studio. In making plans for the
second movable studio 1 decided to set
it as low as possible in order to avoid
the steep pitch in the foreground.
Since no wheel could be made small
enough to insure this I used runners.
ITO drag this studio over the ground,
though frozen, required two yoke of
oxen, but with their assistance no hill
top of crag was inaccessible. I found
that oxen were better than horses for
this service, as the OK, being without
imagination, feared no consequences
when he was urged close to a preci-
pice.
81 found could secure comfort and
sufficient range from my easel in a
studio, the dimensions of which were
9 feet long by 4 IL wide and 8 feet
high at the ridge pole. In this small
compass it is astonishing how many
things can be slowed. On two sides
are hinged seats which can be brought
into use when needed or dropped out
of the way. Racks and shelves along
the sides dispose of wet canvasses
and boxes with cotton waste insure
my various bottles against breakage
by the cold.
Besides a hound, a constant COM
panion, I attached a sheep to my car
avan. AT first I tied him on behind,
but in time he became as friendly as
Mary's little lamb. The friendship be-
tween the animals, however, was of
short duration, for they became very
jealous of one another"

the Womans home at 321 Crystal ave-
nue., New London. The officers were
sworn in by Acting Mayor A. T. Miner
Wednesday afternoon at the request of

In the course of his investigation,
Health Officer Black found that Mrs.
PERKINS had visited the Remmert
nome in Crystal avenue while victims
OF smallpox were there and he or
dered her vaccinated and quarantined
MRS Perkins, according to the health
omcer not only refused to be vacci-
mated, but was defiant and stated that
sne would visit the Remmert house as
orten as she pleased, and would go
anywhere she desired
Dr. Black had her taken to police
court Thursday and the prosecuting
attorney refused to present the wom-
an on the ground that she had not
been Guaranteed, while the health Of

at the request of Health Officer J. 7.
Black, and will make a general survey
of conditions in the city relative to the
smallpox epidemic
The visit is requested for consulta-
ton regarding a questionable case. A
IL year old child was at first sus-
pected of having smallpox, according
to symptoms. Now there is some
question about the matter and Secre-
tary Townsend's opinion will be sought
while reviewing the situation
He will also be shown the other
smallpox victims, not that there is any
doubt in the mind of the health officer
and the physicians of the city, who are
in accord that the disease Is smallpox,
but merely to have the state official
verify their opinions and incidentally
set at rest the suspicious entertained
by some skeptical persons that the
disease is not smallpox

AS the term closed Thursday the
cases were not brought up at all and
all went over until the next term.
