SCHOOL HEAD RESIGNS
BECAUSE OF FRICTION

Thomasville, June 4,-Superinten-
dent James A. Duncan, of the Thorn
asville public schools, has sent to the
board of education his resignation, to
take effect at once This came as a
surprise to the public and is regretted.
He gave as his reason friction between
himself and a majority of the board
members.
1t had been known that one or two
members opposed the superintendent
in some of his measures, but as the
majority were with him as well as the
general public, it was hoped that any
trouble would be obviated. During
the four years that Mr.. Duncan has
been superintendent, the school has
been raised from a class 9 school to
class I and is on the southern list
of accredited schools.

SchooIboard May Be Reduced from Five Members to Three-Fire h. sPection and Parade August 12.

Five Members to Three-Fire In-
 spection and Parade August 12.
 The borough election will be held next Monday and it is expected there will be some lively voting during the two hours that the polls are open. Not since Hadlai A. Hull retired from the membership sixteen years ago, and was succeeded by Cornelius B. Crandall, who had served four years in the board, has there been any con test over the warden, and the present opposition was born in secrecy. The borough being strongly democratic, and the nominees being acceptable, the republicans have practically en- dOTsed the democratic nominees. It vail this year; but when the repubIi- can caucus was held. a real republican ticket was sprung upon the caucus and adopted. It happens that nearly every republican nominee owns an automobile and that they will be all used between two and four o'clock next Monday afternoon in rushing vot- CTS to the polls, and by this method it is expected to defeat the present board of warden and burgesses. Plans are already afOot to have the legis- lative change the borough charter so that the polls will be open in the bOr- Ough election the same number of hours they are at state elections.
 May Have Smaller School Board.
 The almost continuous school fights in StOningtOn that have prevailed since the change for the district of the town system may result in diff Culty in having suitable men serve on the school committee. As a partial remedy an effort is to be made to have a number of committeeman reduced from five to three, as in Westerly.
 Lorenzo D. Fairbrother Elected.
 At a, recent meeting of the school committee of the town of Stonington, the resignation of Henry Robinson Palmer was accepted, and Lorenzo Dow Fairbrother was selected to fill the vacancy.
 Fire escapes are to be placed on the West Broad street school building in Pawtuclket, and the Broadway school building in Mystic.

QUAKER HILL HOLDUP.
Old Style Mcknight Robbery Worked
 on Justin Richards.

Justin Richards, employed on the farm of John R. Ashcraft at Quaker Hill was held up and robbed shortly after 11.3O o'clock Friday night near the Robertson paper mill as he was returning to h1s home. His loss was over $4, which was all the money he had with him.
 Young Richards was passing the mill when the man sprang from the bushes which line the roadside. The night was unusually dark and as the man sprang in front of Richards he pressed something cold in the victim S face. At first Richards thought he was confronted by an armed stranger, but as his eyes grew accustomed to the darkness he saw that 1t was a flash light that the stranger fOurished.
 The man demanded the farmhand's S money. Richards started to argue, but the man, who was a burly built fellow, cut him short and threatened him with violence, whereupOn the Quaker Hill young man handed over his wallet containing all the money he had with him. The man jumped back into the bushes and was lost to view.
 It was not far from the scene of Friday nights hOldup that Anton B. Sandell, whose house and barn were burned last Saturday night, lived.
 The police have been working on the SandeI case and although the Rich ards matter has not been placed in their hands it is thought the arrest of the person guilty of one of the Offenses will be found guilty of the other. Quaker Hill is being stirred into a fever of excitement by the episodes.

 MiddIetown. - The east side play grounds has been a very popular place for the Italian men, women and children during the evenings of the last two weeks. One night 500 peO- pie were on the grounds. The danC ing platform was crowded while the swings giant stride and other games were in great demand.
 MiddIetown.-That the Connecticut company will in all probability shortly start work upon a new line from Mid- dletOwn to Cromwell, so as to do away with the Hartford trOlIeys running over the steam tracks between the two places, seems likely from statements made last week by Local Manager Hewett at a conference with the po- lice, street committees of the common council and Mayor Harold M.
