Members of Central High
Faculty Glue Opinions
on Crowded Conditions

Just how bad conditions are at Cen
trail high school, is shown by opinions
of various members of the faculty. 1t
is a well-known fact that the students
themselves are working to secure
new high school, as is evidenced by
the fact that great interest is being
taken in daily drills for the high school
pageant to be held November 4. The
conditions at Central were given by
members of the faculty to-day:
Prof. Frank G.. Roth-"I cannot give
my proper services to the students of
this school, because of existing con-
ditions. The classes are too large,
each individual student cannot receive
the proper attention. The teachers
are too pressed with work to prepare
the lessons as they should be prepared.

quate."
Prof. Clarence Zorger-"The car
toon in last nights Telegraph express

was a true illustration of the facts"
Prof. Karl Il. Richards-"I never
worked so hard in my life, as / have
this year. The classes are too large,
some of them having thirty-five
The teachers have no time for work
in the school, when not teaching
classes. There is neither space nor
time for the teachers or students to

to dispose of several thousand dollars
worth of bonds to the Amelia State
Bank, at Amelia, Ohio late yesterday.
a man who was identified to-day as
Alonzo ]. Whiteman, was apprehended
and held by government officers who
claimed that the bonds that Whiteman
was trying to dispose of had been
stolen from the bank several months
ago.
Whiteman refused to talk until he
was identified to-day by representa-
tive of a detective agency. He then
said that he had been graduated from
Columbia and other law schools.
II was State senator in Minnesota"
said Whieman. having been elected
from Duluth and in 1892 / was one
of thise who seconded the nomination
of Grover Cleveland"
Whitman insisted that he had pur
chased the bonds and that he did rot
know they had been stolen until his
broker in New York notified him. He
insisted that he only wanted to get
back what he paid for rhe bonds and
for that reason went to the bank that
they had been stolen from.
Police records and newspaper clip
pings found in possession of the prisoner
say that Alonzo Whiteman once was
mayor of Duluth. They also indicate
that A. Whiteman became the leader
of the Whiteman- Bothman band of
forgers who succeeded in obtaining
100000 by raising drafts.
