have been mentioned but with one ex-

his candidacy. Daniel Rizzi, clerk in
the American Clothing store on North
Main street, is candidate, it is said
and petition recommending him for the
commission has been circulated about
town this week. 1t is claimed that 400
names have been affixed to the signature.

The fire was confined largely to the
top story but the whole building and
contents were badly damaged by water
and smoke. The origin of the fire is not
known. 1t is supposed to have caught

won the final game of the league basket
ball season last evening from Montpelier
seminary, but the latter team surprised
itself, the spectators and its opponents
by the improved work shown. The semi
nary was so busy holding Clark and
Gross TO five baskets apiece that it had
little time to make points for itself,
Granai eaging four baskets two in each
period, and Hatch bringing the total
score TO II by making four baskets out
of six opportunities offered for free
chances.
The high school team plainly showed
the effects of two hard games, one played
Saturday night and the other Monday,
and IL is well that the season has ended,
giving the players chance TO recuper-
ate for the baseball season.
The high school was ahead always but
never with big enough lead to slaeken
their efforts for single instant. The
seminary would have been more badly
defeated had Clark proved as skillful in
shooting fouls as he is in caging the ball
from the floor, having no less than IL
free shots.

NAMED AS SCHOOL HEAD
Probation Officer Ferris APP.
pointed to Principalship
That Does Not Exist

Thomas a. Paris chief probation oficer
Of the Juvenile Court. has been appointed
principal Of an elementary school by the
committe on elementary schools OF the
Board OF Education. Il was announced to-
day.
The appointment is specially interesting
because Mr. Paris has not resigned nor
expressed an intention OF resigning his
Juvenile Court position. and there is no
vacancy among the princlpalships OF eie-
mentary schools which he could hll. at
least at the present time.
The reason for his appointment Is. so far
as can be learned, that his name headed the
list OF applicant principals, having been
left on the list when he was taken from
a principaiship two years ago and made
chief probation officer.
II can't discuss the appointment until I
hear from tho Board of Education" said
Mr., Paris, when informed Of the commit.
tees action. ! have been satisfied with
being chief probation officer"
Mr.. Paris was principal Of tho Pastorius
School, woodlawn avenue and Sprague
street. Germantown. when he was made
chief probation officer. Since the latter
appointment he has received offers OF a
principalship four different times.
