Washington, Dec. More than s.
900 are believed to have been killed

and Dartmouth, N. s., according to ad-
vices from a naval commander reach
ing the Navy Department The navy
dispatch said these figures had not
been verified, however
Halifax, N. S., Dec. with the toll
of dead steadily mounting, it was be-
lieved early this morning that more
than 1000 persons perished in the ex-
plosion and fire which followed the
collision in Halifax harbor between a
munitions-laded French ship, the Mont
Blanc, and the limo, another vessel
loaded with supplies for the Belgian
Relief Commission
The disaster which has plunged the
dominion into mourning probably will
rank as the most fearful that ever oc-
Cured on the American continent.
Residents of Halifax and thousands of
volunteer relief workers who have
come into the city have been almost
dazed at the extent of the horror.
Temporary morgues have been es-
tablishcd in many buildings, to which
a steady procession of vehicles of all
kinds have been carrying for hours the
bodies of men, women and children,
Most of them were so charred that
they were unrecognizable.
Virtually every building in the city
which could be converted into a hos
pital is filled with wounded, many of
them so desperately injured that there
is no hope of their recovery. Scores
already have died in these temporary
hospitals. An ever-ncreasing number
is being taken from the completely
devastated Richmond district to the
relief station. An army of rescue
workers is searching among the ruins
for bodies and for those who have sur
vived amidst the wreckage left by the
explosion and fire
The city was in darkness Thursday
night except for the flames from the
fires still burning in the wrecked build
ings in the North End. The electric
light and gas plants have been vir-
tually destroyed and the only lights
available are kerosene lamps. They
furnished the illumination by means of
which surgeons and doctors. toiled
heroically throughout the night car
ing for the injured
Soldiers, sailors and police patrolled
the streets and upon them fell the
major portion of the burden of search
ing among the ruins for the dead and
wounded The Canadians were assist
ed in this work by sailors from an
American warship in the harbor.
The flameswept area covers ap-
proximately two and one-half square
miles. 1t begins at what is known
as the North street bridge extending
north to pier eight on the Richmond
waterfront and back to a point run
ming parallel with Gottingen street. |
Nothing has been left standing in this |
section of the city. Only a pile of
smouldering ruins marks the spot |
where the great building of the !
American Sugar Refining Company |
stood. The drydock and all the build |
ings which surrounded it were de- |
stroyed. The Richmond school that |
housed hundreds of children was de- |
molished and It is reported only three
escaped.

TEACHERS WIN MERIT AND
TENURE RIGHTS-MAYOR
GAINS POWER,


The Chicago Teachers Federation
is winner in its attempt to, get
state law fOrbidding wholesale, car
like dismissals of teachers, without
notice or trial. The Igoe bill, passing
the house at Springfield yesterday by
vote Of ITO to 8, will if enforced act
to prohibit the sort of action taken
by School Board Pres. Jake Loeb,
who wrecked civil service in the pub
lie school system by dropping 68
teachers last year, most Of them
Teachers Federation members and
officers.
Mayor ThOmpson's power over the
public school system of Chicago is
stretched a long ways through the
passage Of the Baldwin bill Instead
of q members, the school board will
have only II, these to be appointed
by the mayor. With the authority
now lodged in Mayor ThOmpsOn's
hands, he practically has the running
of the school board until 1922. Terms
of office of each school board mem
Der is fixed at five years.
Sales Of public school land must
be approved by two-thirds of the
board and by three-fourths of the
city council. The Jake Loeb indu-
ence pressed hard for shutting off
city council control over school land
sales. It's chief spokesman was Al
fred UriOn, head of the Armour &
Co. law department and former
school trustee. The so-called Chi
cagO Public School league" a lob
bying arm Of the Illinois Manufacture
ers' assn, and Armour interests who
want school land at Clearing for the
use of the Armour Belt Line had
their operations conducted by John
LOvett.
Margaret Haley, Ida L. FuTsman,
Nano T. Hickey and Mary Dwyer
were among Teachers Federation
officers who lobbied for the Igoe bill.

WILSON WINS USE OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Washington, March 3O.-Mfss Mar
garet Wilson has won her fight for
the use Of the public schools in Wash
ington as open forums. The board
of education objected on the ground
that the people might want to use
them on Sundays. Miss Wilson re-
piled that if they wanted to use them
on Sundays the schools belonged to
the people and they ought to be per-
mitted to use them at such times and
in such ways as they might choose.
The victory is to be celebrated at the
opening of the new miIlion-dollar
high school, where there will be
forum meeting on Sunday, April 1.

three years. Before and at the ex-
piratiOn of this period any teacher
may be discharged by the superin-
tendent on giving written reasons to
the board.
After the probationary period no
teacher may be dismissed without
trial. Written charges must be filed
thirty days before date of suspen-
sion. After such procedure the
school board may pass on the deci-
sion arrived at in the trial and such
decision of the board is final
In the dismissal Of 68 teachers last
June there was neither trial, nor no
tee, nor written nor spoken charges.
About the only basis for the action
given by Jake Loeb was that the
women dismissed were inefficient"
'insubOrdinate," or mentally I'M
sound" Sup't Shoop rated AZ of the
dismissed teachers as efficient"
excellent" or good" Under the
Igoe law Jake Loeb's personal whims
would not prevail over the supposed
expert rating Of Sup't Shoop.

GERMAN YOUTH BEING HELD
Arrogant Attitude of Prisoner Causes
Police to Institute Investigation.

Whether John Ems, n young Ger
man, confined in the city Jail Is spy
for the kaiser or only migratory
worker as he claims is a question that
the police department and John A.
Whalen of the department of Justice
are unable to solve after several days
of investigation.
Ems was arrested last Monday by
Patrolman Francis on West First
while he was trying to dispose of n
pair of field glasses. Francis exam
ined the field glasses and seeing that
they were of unusual quality began
questioning him. Ems told him that
he was a German and was % years
old and was a driller by trade. When
the officer asked him If he had reg
istered he grew arrogant and told
him he hadn't and didn't have to.
whereupon he was escorted to Jail
along with the glasses and two hand
bags that he had with him.
A search of his grips were made at
the station and camera. wrench,
