TEACHERS AT CARSON
ARE ASKED TO RESIGN
Women Instructors at College
Held Midnight Parties,
Is Charge

Midnight parties, which the board of
directors regarded as hardly the thing
for such an institution, has resulted in
a call for designations of several women
teachers at Carson College for orphan
Girls, Chestnut Hill.
James p. Carson, relative of the late
Robert n. Carson, who founded the col
lege, said the teachers had complied with
q request to resign, but he withheld
their names.
The directors caused an investigation
when residents of Chestnut Hill ccm-
planned about hilarious singing at un-
seemly hours in the school.
Mr.. Carson said the teachers who
were dismissed had parties" in their
rooms, at which they smoked and drank
wine. They even had the audacity to
4. invite some of the older girls to the
functions, he said. Nothing more was
charged against them. Mr.. Carson said,
but he thought that was quite enough.
He said that whether such parties are
right or wrong, they were certainly not
the thing in such a school as Carson
College. and their influence is not the
kind the college wants
"The matter has been much magni-
aed," says W. w. Perkins, treasurer OF
The board Of trustees of Carson Col
lege. in reference to the assertion that
certain women officials had held smok-
ing parties on the grounds of the col
lege.
"The charges of smoking and drink
ing were brought to the attention of the
board of trustees and were Immediately
referred to the management committee,
which visits tho school weekly.
Upon investigation the board finds
some grounds for the charges and crit
icisms made, but not TO the extent re-
ported These accounts, the board has
reason to believe, were grossly magni-
fed.
The board. as now constituted, is
made up of Philadelphia men of high
standing, who are opposed to anything
at the college or on the property that
is not of the very highest order in
every particular.
AT the meeting yesterday the mat
er was presented and resolutions passed
supporting the committee in its deter
mination to employ only such persons
at the college as were willing to con-
form to the highest standards required
and to eliminate from our employ any
one not of that standard"
Mr.. Perkins denied that children were
present at any party of the sort de-
scribed.
John Gribbel is chairman CT the board,
George Vaux, Jr., is vice chairman,
James p. Carson is secretary and Mr..
Perkins is treasurer.
The college began it's organization in
1915, and opened its doors July l. 1918.
There are forty-four girls between the
ages Of six and ten years in the col
lege, and a working force CT twenty-five
TO take care of them. Tie institution
ia built on the small cottage system and
is using six houses.

MUTTNOUS CREW
BURNS OWN SHIP
Six.Masted Schooner Dovre.
field Is Set Afire
at Sea
DESTROYER GETS MEN
Guilty Ones Are Being
Brought to Newport News
in Irons

Wireless messages to the Maritime Ex-
change here this afternoon told of the
burning of the six-masted schooner
Dovrefjeld at sea by mutinous crew.
The exchange was also informed that
the men were picked up by the United
States destroyer Trippe. placed under ar
rest and were being brought to Newport
News in irons.
The Dovrefjeld was set afire three
days after the vessel left Newport News
for Jacksonville.
The schooner, after being fred by the
crew. was for several days at the mercy
of the elements. Fears are entertained
for the safety of Captain Nelson and
three men who stood by him in the nu-
tiny, but nothing definite concerning
their fate has filtered through the
Maritime Exchange wireless.
That all on board the Dovrefjeld were
not lost is due to the work of the speedy
Trippe and its determined wartime crew
of bluejackets.
Shipping men from Portland, Me-, TO
Key West are stirred by the reports
of the mutiny and are determined to
make an example of the men who
brought about the destruction OF tho Nes-
sci.
February 3 the schooner sailed from
Newport News. The vessel made It's
getaway under most favorable weather
conditions and twelve hours later was
reported as making good headway
A few days later ship wirelessed
Newport News that the Dovrefjeld was
a helpless wreck and n menace TO com
merce. 1t appears that on the third
day out n dlsgruntled member OF the
crew made strenuous objection when
ordered aloft by the skipper. The
weather was heavy and his refusal was
sustained by other members of the crew.
Captain Nelson demanded obedience,
but only three or four of his crew eX-
hibited q willingness to accept his or
ders. A free-for-all fight followed and
during the fracas the schooner was fired.
Flames leaped aloft and in few
minutes the spars and rigging of the
vessel toppled into the sea and the YES
sci, a helpless dcrelict, was at the mercy
of the sea and wind. For days the
big 17OO-ton craft rolled in the trough
of heavy seas, but, owing to good sea-
manship, the crew managed to prevent
the craft from laundering.
The Trippe. after getting the location
of the schooner, rushed to its assistance
and arrived in time to .succor the crew.
Word was also received by the Mari
time Exchange this afternoon of the ar
rival in New York of the British steamer
| Freshwater, carrying Captain Keeping
and three members of the crew of the
ill-fated British schooner William Nor
ton. which sprang a leak off the Spanish
1 coast on January 10, voyaging from Pola
| to st. John. The crew took refuge in an
open boat, which was capsized in q
heavy sea. only four were saved.

RITTER SEES FRANCE
AWAKING TO RELIGION
Philadelphian Notes Revul-
sion Against Wickedness
and Horrors of War

A religious awakening vii be one of
the results Of the war in France, accord
ing to Frank NJ Ritter, who has just
returned from the war zone 10 which
he went as n representative of the Luth-
eran commission for soldiers and sail
ers' welfare.
II cannot say much now" said Mr.
Ritter today. '.for i must first report to
the commission and l must speak to the
church Of which / am a member. / can
not go into detailed discussion OF my
impressions, and about many things
there are still questions in my own
mind.
But ] can tell you that l see the
beginnings of a great religious revival
now in France. 1'think they have been
evident for a long time and they are
even more evident now. There is a
greater and stronger religious feeling
among men, even though many of them
do not recognize it as a religious feeling.
There is revulsion aainst all the horrors
and evils and wickedness of war and a
growing earnestness to prevent another
such conflict as that we have passed
through. That earnestness of desire is
there, regardless of how people may
differ as to the best means of accom-
plishing the purpose"
Mr.. Ritter went TO France last Septem-
Der with. the Rev. Charles J. Smith.
pastor of the Lutheran Church Of the
Holy Trinity, New York. Mr. Smith
preceded him home by a few weeks.
They probably will report to the COM
mission within two weeks, but the re-
port may be an oral one, the substance
of 1t later being placed in a permanent
record.
Mr.. Ritter is a member Of the Luther
an Church of the Holy Communion,
Twenty-first and Chestnut streets, in the
parish house of which he will speak
after reporting to the commission.

Burned.out Arc Lights Should
Be Reported, Says Elec-
trio Chief
ASK FOR COOPERATION

Citizens will assist the police in re-
ducing crime and protect themselves, If
they will cooperate i'll reporting un-
lighted arc. gas and gasoline lamps
throughout the city.
This statement was made by CHEF
Mclaughlin, of the Electrical Bureau,
when his attention was called 10 the
fact that lights on Fifty-second street,
north Of Market. both arc and gasoline,
were out one evening about a week ago,
and that Fifty-third street. between
Arch and Race streets, was dark last
Sunday night.
Chief Mclaughlin, who has charge Of
the arc lights Of the city. and Alexander
NJ. Bible. head of the Bureau Of Gas
Lighting, both said they had received no
complaints about lightless streets in
West Philadelphia or any other section
The head of the electrical bureau said
that citizens should cooperate with the
lighting officials in reporting lights out.
Last year only twelve persons made com
plants. There are slightly fewer than
1900 arc lights in Philadelphia. 1t is
the duty Of the policeman on n beat to
report whether any lights are out.
These reports are then handed to the
electrical bureau and in turn handed
over to the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany, which holds the contract for arc
lights. The United Gas Improvement
Company has the contract for gas lights
while the Welsbach Company furnishes
the gasoline lights.
If policeman sees "A light out. either
before midnight or after midnight, the
report never reaches the electric COM
pany until the following morning.
III citizen finds an are light out ,"
said Mr.. Mclaughlin today. 'let him
call the Electrical Bureau by telephone,
giving the location of the light. The
Electrical Bureau will Immediately get
in touch with inspectors of the Phila
delphia Electric Company and remedy
the trouble instead of waiting until
morning
