JEALOUSY BACK
OF MURDER, IS
POLICE THEORY
Prisoner Admits Crime, Pc
lice Say, But They Believe
He Shams Insanity.

That jealousy prompted Paul Kra-
lick to the mysterious murder of John
Catorki of 341 Willard street, in the
saloon of Steve Sutay, 285 Willard
street, late Saturday night, is the
theory upon which the police contin-
ued their investigation into the crime
today.
Kralick, aged 81, of 32S willard
street, is held without bail on the
charge of murder. Coroner John ],
Phelan began at 2 o'clock this after
noon, an inquest into the crime, The
police believe Kralick is feigning in
sanity. They say he admits having in
flicted the fatal stab wound upon the
victim, but says he can't tell why he
did it.
Kralfck and Cajorki were guests at
a wedding in willard street Saturday
afternoon but witnesses say no words
passed between the pair. CaJorki was
watching q group of men playing
cards in Steve sutay's saloon at 2S5
Willard street at 11:40 Saturday night
when suddenly Kraltck rushed into
the place and running up behind Ca
torki stabbed the latter two times in
the abdomen. Cajorki was removed
to his home where he soon died.
Policemen James Glennon and An
drew Marzik learned that the assault
was committed by q man with a scar
under his left eye. 1t was only a few
minutes later when the two policemen
captured the murderer as he was re-
turning to the saloon after throwing
the knife away. It was found later
at Willard and Hallett streets. It
was a butchers knife. Stains were
visible upon the blade.
Kralick admits assaulting Cajorki
but cannot give any reason for the
rnurderous attack. One theory is that
the murder was the result of a quar-
rel at the afternoon wedding celebra-
ton. Kra1ick was brought before
Coroner John J. Phelan at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon when an inquest was
started. Michael Focal and Michael
Estock both of 240 Hallett street
were among the witnesses. In city
court today Kralick was charged with
murder and his case was continued
until February 9. He was held with
out bonds.
The murderer came to this country
about five years ago and has resided
in this city but three weeks He is
employed at the Atlas Shear Co. He
said that he barely knew the muir
dered man and all evidences points to
the man being insane.

.BEHRENS Will
ASK PROBE OF
LAKEvIEW Home
Thinks Conditions Are Good
But Believes Stories
Should Be Sifted.

F.. W. Behrens, president Of the
board of charities, announced today
that at the next meeting of the board
of charities he will institute steps to-
wards an investigation into the treat
ment of the invalids housed at Lake
view home
Commissioner Behrens said he per-
sonI1y believed that the patients were
not mfsused, but that owing to the
numerous stories circulated as to their
treatment, he believed it only just to
the city department that an official in
quiry be made
These stories grow out of several
recent deaths at The institution.
A report was circulated that John
Dyke, an inmate, was unable to call
water DIR. J. J. Macdonald, superin-
tendent of Lakeview home, says that
Dyke died from kidney trouble and
that he expired in his bed.
It has been said that John Gabor,
who committed suicide by hanging
himself to the bars of a cell in the in
sane ward, was talking with a group
of inmates a few minutes before he
committed the act. It is said that he
was taken to Lakeview home SUFFERING
from the deIirium tremens and was at
first believed to be insane. After he
showed signs of recovery, he is said
to have been allowed the. freedom of
the institution.
When questioned on the care of such
patients, Medical Examiner S. M. Gar
lick said that they should be confined
until all signs of mental trouble have
vanished. DR.. Garlick secuted the re-
port that the patients at Lakeview
were being misused. He said that on
his many visits to the Institution he
saw no reason for saying that inmates
are miaused or that the home is in
sanitary. The matter will be taken
up at the next meeting of the board OF
charities, however, and the matter will
be sifted to the bottom.

COUNSEL
OF VAN SICKLE
ON GARY PLAN
Continued from Page One,

Continued from Page One,
class room instruction, the omission
of formal physical training, supervised
play with only four teachers for IL
classes, the deferring of scholastic
work for first-year children until late
in the afternoon They urge that suf-
ficient time has not elapsed to test the
worth of the schemes.
"A further criticism is that outside
instruction in the home or in the
church is permitted, but that no
means is provided for seeing that such
Instruction is the equiva1entsof regular
schooling.
ITO this criticism the reply is made
that it would be very unfortunate il
the school undertook to insure that
such instruction should be the eQutva-
lent OF regular schooling, for in that
case the school would be supervising
religious instruction which the law ex-
pressly prohibits. The program simply
provides that the child can be excused
during the day to take private lessons
at home or attend religious instruc-
tions If the parent so desires. These
periods are never taken from the
academic work and therefore do not
detract from the regular work of the
school AS in the case of play and
auditorium, it is simply time which.
in the traditional school,. the child
would spend upon the street. What
is taught in these outside classes and
how it is taught is not and should not
be the concern of the school,
Interest In the Gary plan is by no
means confined to the larger cities,
superintendent Van Sickle finds.
Even in communities where the
part-time problem is either less acute
or else nonexistent. and where the ex-
penditures for schools have not be-
come 50 burdensofne as in New York,
fhara will he sdaeidad fx7%eYest fT4 the
Gary duplicate plan This gigantic
experiment In education, now In full
operation in one OF the smaller cities
and in Partial operation in the largest
American municipality. Is unquestion-
ably OF vast Importance. yet the
changes required in installing the sys-
| tenn in existing schools are so radical
and SO expensive that school authors
ties will be disposed to await the re-
suit of an adequate trial in New York
city before departing from the present
policy which reserves seat for every
/ child. %

ROWLAND DRY GOODS co
Crash Between Car
And Wagon Grinds
Bottles To Powder

Trust Company Sues
For East Side Land
of Colgan Estate

Another chapter III the tangled af-
fairs of William C. Colgan was added
today when the American Bank &
Trust Co.. conservator for Colgan,
brought suit against Catherine A.
,O'Hara and Judge Thomas C. Cough
lin to recover possession of East Main
street property
It is claimed that, after Colgan had
been adjudged incompetent Mrs,
O'Hara exercised undue influence over
him and caused him to give her a quit
claim deep for the property. She
afterward conveyed it to Judge Cough
lin, The superior court is. asked to
order a ecc.ayeyance. The defend
ants say Colgan had been taken out
of confinement and had been adj
judged competent at the time he sign
ed the deed. They maintain that the
deed called for Colgan to get the life
use of the property.

Morris Plan Banks
Are Not Infringing

The Morris Plan Co. of New York
has received a clean bill OF health
through the decision of Judge Hazel
in the United States court Saturday
The company, which operates a bank
here. is not infringing on the "Stein
System" the court finds
Some time ago suit was brought by
David Stein of Newport News The
defendants denied they were operat-
ing under the "Stein SYSTEM and in
this they have now been upheld by
Judge Hazel.
NThe local Morris Plan Co. is one of
20 companies now operating under
6 purchased copyright and franchise
privileges from the Industrial Finance
corporation. Had an adverse decision
been given, it is probable these banks
would have been affected in a greater
or less degree.
