Milestone in Tree Trunk.

While saving down large poplar
tree on the Weimar farm two sons Of
Joseph Weimar found their saw would
not penetrate. They began a little
higher and after the tree was down
they discovered a milestone in the
heart of the trunk. 1t is supposed
that many years ago, when the tree
was sapling, lumbermen working in
the fields laid the stone there and
forgot to take it away, and the tree
grew around it.-Marietta (Pa.) Cor

Musicians gathered in force at Aeolian
Hall last night to hear the concert of
negro music given by and for the
benefit of the Music School Settlement
for Colored People, that admirable in
stitution on Northern Manhattan,
which is training members of the ne
gro race in their most notable talent.
Songs of pathos and fun, picturesque
ballads from the Bible and solemn,
trlumphal marches-these were sung
with the emotional eloquence and
rhythmic vigor peculiar to the negro
race. The Art-Song Club and the or
chestra from the school showed the
admirable training of William H. But
ler and ]. Rosamond Johnson. director
of the settlement. A few of the pupils,
notably William Butler, violinist, and
Taylor E. Gordon, tenor, gave a hint
OF the unusual talent which the school
is fostering. Finally there were songs
and modern arrangements of the old
sspirituals by negro composers, incud-
ing II. 7. Burleigh, Will Marion Cook,
Rosamond Johnson and Carl Dton.
Not only the music was impressive,
but also the unique verve of the per-
formance. The whole concert was an
eloquent indication of the deserts of
the school struggling hard to main
tain itself in this difficult season.

On the Screen

One can fancy that Mr.. Goldwyn may
have read over the script of "The Fair
Pretender," and said "Tnere is no story
Madge Kennedy and it will be all
right" So they gave it to Madge Ken
nedy and it was presented at the
Strand Theatre yesterday and every
body thought it was delightful.
That was because Miss Kennedy was
cast as Sylvia Maynard a stage struck
typist, and partly because Tom Moore
played Don Meredith, an impoverished
playwright.
Robert Walker was in the picture,
too, and we always liked him extreme
ly. But this time he hadn't much to
do, and besides he wore white sox,
which grieved and surprised US greatly.
Sylvia Maynard loses her job as a
typist in a theatrical managers Office
because she seeks to convince him of
her histrionic ability by a practical
demonstration. Just as she falls on
her knees crying Cast me out if you
will, but promise to take care of the
child" the managers wife enters and
there is a scene which proves that not
all managers can manage their wives.
Sylvia stops at the delicatessen on
her way home and buys a stew, but
when she starts to heat it on her gas
stove, the fact that it has onions in it
betrays to the landlady the fact that
some one is breaking the rules of the
house, and so Sylvia is detected and
elected.
In her search for new lodgings she
stumbles on the room just vacated by
Don, the impoverished playwright.
Sylvia finds one of his abandoned plays
md she has an idea. The play is called
"The Fair Pretender." SO Sylvia be-
comes one, and later on is instrumental
in landing the play for production with
herself in the title role.
The picture is extremely amusing be-
cause Miss Kennedy is on the screen
most of the time. At the times when
she is not there it drags. There is
something about stealing some papers
which doesn't have much to do with
the story, but which gives Paul Doncet
d chance to do some good work Flor
ence Billings and Grace Stevens have
the other feminine roles.
Bob Bappal appeared in person and
talked while his picture, "Capturing
Wild Mountain Lions Single Handed"
was shown. The pictures and the talk
both are vastly entertaining.
The overture is LISTS "Les Prel-
udes.' Betty Brown sang. "Ah! Love
but Day" and "At Dawning."

Wants Boards of Education
and Estimate to Take
Up Matter
New Schedule Likely
Establishment Of 81, 200 Mini
MUM and Other Changes
Are Predicted

A step toward increased salaries for
teachers was taken yesterday when
President Somers OF the Board of Edu-
cation addressed letter TO Mayor
Hyien asking that conference be ar
ranged next Monday between represen-
tstives Of the Board of Estimate and
the Board of Education to consider
finances.
Mr.. Somers said last night that the
Mayor had expressed his solicitude for
the underpaid teachers, and hoped tina
conference might result in remedying
existing conditions.
committee Of the Board of Educa-
ton, including President Somers, Audi
tor Cook and Superintendent Ettinger.
which has been considering revision of
the salary schedule, has practically de-
c!ded upon the establishment of a
si,o00 minimum for teachers. Such re.
VISION would entail an annual outlay
OF S9O6,O00, which the Board of Edu-
cation IS prepared to meet this year.
Until assurance is had from the
BOARD of Estimate and Apportionment
that the initial salary of 81 900 can be
continued next year, the Board of Edu-
cation has delayed establishing this
new schedule.
There are now $500 teachers. prac-
tically all Of them women, who are
paid less than 81, 900 annually.
Inc schedule for teachers III the ele-
mentary schools provides an annual
salary of $500 for the first three years
OF teaching below the 6B classes. An
annual increment of $50 is provided
thereafter. But even with this in
crease. eight years of service are re-
qulred for teacher to attain a salary
above 81 900.
In the classes from IA to sB, an
which after two years is increased to
$1,000.
If the minimum salary of 81 900 is
established. following a conference
with the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tlonment, thorough revision of the
salary schedule is planned
While the 10000 teachers in the ele-
mentary schools have been most affected
by the inroads of living costs on their
modest salaries, the campaign for more
pay has spread to high school teachers.
The High School Teachers Associ-
alton has abandoned its long estab-
llshed policy of not working for salary
Increases. Wartime conditions have
forced upon it the necessity of active
work for more pay.
At o'clock this afternoon represen-
tatIves of all the high schools in the
city will meet in the rooms of the Mer-
chants Association, in the Woolworth
Building, to hear the. reports of the
committees which have been looking
into the matter of salaries.
Clyde R. Jeffords. of the Boys High
School in Brooklyn, said yesterday he
hoped all the high school teachers in
active work would cooperate in the
salary campaign.
The salary question also will come
before representatives of the fifty
teachers organizations at the Wash
ington Irving High School at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at the meeting of
the board of directors of the FEEDER
alton of Teachers Associations.

$4,000 a Year Not Enough;
Schoolgirl Needs $4,000
Miss Lorena Carroll, Nineteen, Heiress to Million Finds
Expenses of Her Social Position Too Great
for Courts Allowance

OF expense incurred by Miss Carroll is
$4,000 for the upkeep Of her touring
car and limousine, which item includes
dues to an automobile club.
Then the young woman's education,
which includes French and music, and
her church contributions take away
another $4,000 of her allowance. Medi-
cal and dental expenses add another
$1,000 to the total.
Miss Carroll's social duties at
school cost her $4,000 year. Cloth
ing, hats and other wearing apparel
are set down at $4,000. Miss Carroll
also contributes $4,000 a year toward
the running expenses of the family
residence, at $50 West End Avenue.
Once before Miss Carroll was COM
PEELED by the ever-mounting cost of
living to apply to the Surrogates' Court
tor an increased allowance She for
merly received $1,000 a year, which
subsequently was increased to S12 600

amount was insufficient.

$l.364.743. Miss Carroll is the bene-
lclary of trust funds of about $500, 600
New-York tribune., 1918-05-28

Miss Lorena Carroll, daughter of the
late Joseph D. Carroll Of the Fiss,
Doerr & Carrell Horse Company,
whose estate amounted to more than
S1,0o0000, applied to the Surrogates'
Court yesterday for an order increas-
ing her annual allowance from her
fathers estate to $4,000. Miss Car
roll, who is nineteen years old and a
pupil at the Ogontz School, in Phila-
delphia, is now receiving $4,000 a
year, which she says is not sufficient
to maintain her in the social position
she is entitled to occupy. Her mother
approved of her request for an in
creased allowance, and Surrogate
Fowler will to-day hear argument on
the application.
Mrs. Carroll, as her daughters
guardian, explained that in the last
year she has been compelled to spend

how Mr.. Coakley was informed of this
and then declared the investigation
was "pigeonholed."
Then l called up the District At
torney. Mr.. Pelletier. on the tele
phone" pursued the witness, land he
SAID that he saw this matter in a diff
ferent light now, and reiterated what
Mr.. Coakley had said about the in.
vestigation being pigeonholed.
"On October | again called on Mr.
Coakley and asked him what l owet
him You owe me s15,ooo.' he said.
1t was this statement of Mr.. Car.
rolls which led to the line of ques-
tioning that brought out the fact that
he had, as he expressed it, "held OUT
/ $4,000 for himself
Judge Manton asked the witness for
| precisely what services he considered
! he was entitled to this $4,000. On this
point Mr.. Carroll's answers were
rather evasive.
/ Didn't it occur to you that it was
i an exceedingly large fee? ?" the court
wanted to know
Mr.. Carroll admitted that it had,
but that because of talk there had
been about the company in New York
newspapers" he deemed that any liti-
cation would have been most unfortu-
nate. Also, in further assurance of
the value of his services, he stated
that Mr.. Matches was about to with
draw from the sale of Emerson stock,
! cast under public suspicion before en-
barking upon his new venture.
In the same connection, Mr.. Carroll
declared that Mr.. Matches had. said
that he (the witness) should have had
$4,000 of the alleged $4,000, and had
offered to make up the difference out
of his own pocket if Mr.. Carroll could
not secure it for Hmself. Later it de-
veloped that Mr.. Matches had not done
this, and that Mr.. Carroll, as result,
was suing him for $4,000.
On cross examination. Mr.. Matches's
counsel, Charles lie Barber. made lit
tie effort to dispute the facts of Mr.
Carroll's story, but tried merely to
show that his client had had little to do
personally with the transaction il.
question.
Noe Identifies Circulars
Mr.. Matches's brother-in-law Ralph
D. Noe, who served in the Boston Of
flee during the summer and autumn of
1916, preceded Mr.. Carroll on the
stand, identifying circulars and telling
Of office routine.
The final witness of the day was Mr.
Hill, who drew the papers of incor-
poration for the Emerson company.
1t was he who testified to the un-
usual arrangements as to the disposal
of stock entered into between Mr.
Hupp and the company, and later be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and the company.
Finally, Mr.. Hill testified that after
protesting against the Excessive com
missions" paid the brokers he re-
signed from the company, informing
the directors that what they were
doing was obtaining money under
false pretences in it's simplest form"
The trial is to be resumed at $3.50
this morning.
