GREENWICH STIRRED
OVER SCHOOL FIGHT
Wife of Dismissed Superin-
fendent Wages Warfare.

| GREENWICH, Conn.,. June 20. AL
though Mrs. John J. Fry's constant in
reference" with members of the school
board and teachers is alleged to be the
reason for her husbands dismissal as
superintendent of the Hamilton avenue
school last week, II became apparent
to-day that she had become busler than
ever regarding school matters. Not only
| did she file a petition signed by many
Cos Cob residents asking the selectmen
| to call a special town meeting to thresh
the matter out, but she declared that
| unless the meeting resulted In the re-
instatement Of her husband she would
hight the case through the courts to a
finish.
The entire Cos Cob section has taken
sides In the feud between the school
board and the Frys. Forty pupils from
Mr.. Fry's former school marched three
miles to town from Cos Cob to-day and
filtered into the grounds in front OF the
Office Of Edwina C. Andrews, Superin-
tendcnt of Schools. The youngsters
carried banners bearing such inscrip-
tions as Down with Andrews and UP
with Fry" NO Fry no School and We
Want New School Head" After CIV
ing vent to chorus OF Jeers the militant
children paraded through the principal
streets of Greenwich. while many OF
their parents stood on the sidewalks
and looked on approvingly.
Last night Mrs. Fry attempted to con-
duct what she called an open forum"
on the steps of the school her husband
presided over until his discharge. Police
man Busch shooed Mrs. Fry and her
audience out OF the school grounds Not
to be baked. she crossed the street
mounted a soap box In a vacant lot and
told the 900 persons who had gathered
exactly what she thought OF Superin-
tendent OF Schools Andrews and of the
administration of school affairs In Cos
Cob. 1t was the liveliest evening the
neighborhood has known since the sign
Ing Of the armistice. .-
Mrs. Fry declared there was rank dis
elimination in the distribution OF sal
aries among the teachers and that those
who came from poor families were given
much more for their work than were
teachers whose families were known to
have money. She said the school board
had absolutely disregarded" three petit
tons signed by practically every tax
payer in the district. asking that her
husband be retained in his position.
A week ago Mrs. Fry attempted to
hold an Indignation meeting In the town
hall. but she was denied the use of the
premises. Members of the school board
say Mrs. Fry precipitated trouble by
refusing TO keep away from the Hamil-
ton Avenue School after being warned
to do so. She charges that the teachers
were too fond OF using the telephone
and eating their luncheons In Mr.. Frys
office.
Mr. Fry was principal of the Cos Cob
School six years and came to the Ham
ilton Avenue School three years ago.
He says he has reSched the peak of
what he may expect in the way OF
salary and that 1t will work great
hardship on him II he Is obliged to go
elsewhere Mrs. Fry asserted tonight
that he will not have to go. 30,

AMERoNoEN, June 10 (delayed).-
There was a further addition to William
enzollern's visitors last night, when
Frederick Won Berg. formerly chief OF
the civil cabinet of the one time mon
arch, dined at the Won Bentinck castle.
To-day there was seen q continual run
ming OF motor cars to and from the
castle.
This morning the former emperor
was at his usual task of saving trees.
of which he yesterday completed his
FIVE thousandth. This last tree has been
sawed into discs each an inch thick,
many Of which were distributed among
Herr Hohenzollern's attendants and
advisers. The tree was six inches In
diameter, and each disc was marked in

Outside the grounds Dutch gendarmes

1 told him then that his very state
ment seemed TO me a point against him,
that for him to have adopted subtle
method would have directed suspicion
to him at once"
The first time talked to him he told
me he had said to his wife: There are
burglars In the house you 20 get help
AMI that he then went In. The second
tino we talked he said his words had
been: I think there is some one In
here and we may need help Then he
persisted that he had used the same
language In his first story" Burns said
also that when he asked DR.. Wilkins II
his wife had left will the defendant
had said her will left everything to
charity and as her death left him PEN
niiess there was every reason why he
should have desired her to remain alive.
Glasses Were Dust Coated.
Two witnesses more were introduced
yesterday to discredit DR.. wiikins's
story that burglars drank liquor at his
tabl3 before they knocked him down and
stole his watch.
One was Charles w. Hanson, finger
print expert for Nassau county. who
swore that he was unable to ind any
hngerprints on the glasses from which
the burglars were said to have drunk
because the glasses were SO thickly
coated with dust that they would not re-
ceive print impression. The other wit
ness was Lester Chadwick, a Waterman
put on guard at DR.. Wllkinss house after
the murder. He swore that several days
later, while making up a bed for him
self on an old couch, he thrust his
hand into the COUGHS upholstering and
drew out a watch wrapped In bloody
napkin.
The watch was without a crystal and
had stopped at 9:2S, or about the time
Mrs. wilkins was murdered. On Thurs
day there were put in evidence pieces
Of broken watch crystal picked up on
a cement driveway near where Mrs. Will
kins was struck down. District Attor-
ney Weeks in his summing up will ask
the Jury to consider whether they be-
lieve DR.. Wilkinss story that burglars
took his watch, or whether they be-
lieve that he was wearing his watch
when he killed his wife, and that 1t
lel out OF MS pocket anu was 81 uo"
aged that 1t stopped. and that he after
ward concealed It In the sofa.
Detective Carman Plant was on the
stand again yesterday and testified as
to a piece Of string which was tied about
the hammer with which Mrs. wilkins
was killed. On searching the house. he
said, he found a similar piece of string
in a tool box in the cellar. He had
counted the strands in It and there were
sixteen. Just as in the hammer string.
Also there were in the tool box various
tools smeared with green paint Of the
game shade as certain paint stains Wis
ible on the hammer handle.
The trial was adjourned yesterday un-
til next Monday. District Attorney
Weeks stating that he would rest his
case after he had called two more
witnesses. Mr.. Wysong intends to put
DR.. wilkins on the stand shortly after
he opens for the defence.

BURNS AN ORATOR
AT WILKINS TRIAL
Detective Seizes Opportunity
as Witness to Denounce
Rival Investigators.
DOUBTS DOCTORS TALE
Others Add Testimony to
Chain of Circumstantial
Evidence Adduced.

The talent for public speaking with
which nature has endowed William j
Burns international detective, was made
manifest to court and Jury yesterday in
the case against DR.. Walter X. wilkins
who Is on trial at Mineola accused OF
having murdered his wife at Long Beach
last February
Burns had been called by the prosecu-
ton to testify to conversations had with
the defendant. and at the conclusion OF
his testimony refreshed the court with
three minute address vindicatory OF
himself and touching on the cabals, con-
spiracies and canards which have been
launched against his fair fame. He ad-
dressed the court standing. as Is the i'm
memorial wont of orators. permission
having been extended him to say what
he saw At in justification Of certain mat
tiers brought out upon his cross-examin-
alton. --'
Mr.. wysong, chief counsel for the
defense, had devoted his whole cross
examination of Burns TO an attempt to
impeach his credibility, and taking his
lead perhaps from query put to jurors
four years ago at the trial of Mrs. Flor
ence Carman. when her counsel, John J.
Graham, inquired II any Of them knew
IAN actor. author and scenario writer
who sometimes employed detectives,
named William ]. Burns" demanded of
Burns whether In fact he were not a
written for the magazines and had not
received royalties on motion picture pro-
auctions. '..-
Burns stood this with reasonable af-
liability. but became FESTIVE when Mr..
Wysong asked IL an attempt had not
been made to lynch him in Georgia. II
he had not been pelted with rotten eggs
there and IL his license to operate in
that State had not been revoked sum-
marily. Then Mr.. Wysong wanted to
know II his license to work in Canada
had not been revoked also and II there
were not proceedings afoot in this State
to put him out of business here.
Charges Professional Jealousy.
Burns answered all these questions
In the negative, shouting that all pro-
ceedings against him had been stirred
up by rival detective agencies. and
finally when the court let him take the
floor went into all the particulars say
Ing in effect that everything ever said
against him was due to the Vaccinations
OF bunch OF crooks"
On his direct examination he had told
how DR.. wilkins had repeated to him
the story. now venerable in the trial, OF
the burglarious attack upon him at Long
Beach and how the burglars after lay
ing him low and robbing him had killed
Mrs. Wilkins with a hammer to still
her cries for help.
Burns, VINO is a veteran witness. told
his story without wasting time on I'M
important details and explained. which
no other witness had been able to do,
how he called DR.. Wilkinss attention to
points in his story at variance with the
ordinary logic of human life.
Il asked him." said Burns whether
1t was not peculiar that burglars who
had dealt with Mrs. wilkins so savagely
should have dealt so lightly with him.

General Palmer's stewardship OF tho

subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee. The inquiry began with q
bitter fight between the Attorney Gen
eral and representatives OF the Bosch

owned concern.
The latter charged that In his ca

Palmer successfully advanced the in

accorded advantages in the purchase
Of an immensely valuable property.
with invaluable patent rights, at some
thing like half its actual value.
Merton E. Lewis Of New York. for
merly Attorney-General Of that State,
cpened the investigation by presenting
these charges. He asserted that the
deal had been arranged for the benefit
OF Mr.. Palmer's friends.
Admits He Made Mistakes.
The Attorney-General told tho COM
nittee that in his capacity as alien prop
erty custodian he undoubtedly had made
mistakes. He had handled, he said,
more than 10000 cases Of allen property
ownership In the United States, and was
proud TO know that this exercise of his
powers had resulted in the destruction
Of the German grip on American indus
try and commerce. He had destroyed
German interests from one end of Amer
lea to the other and was glad of It. Mr..
Palmer asserted.

The bitterest feeling between the two.
Senator Frelinghuysen told the commit
tee that he had not brought formal
charges against Mr.. Palmer. but had
simply transmitted to others the infor-
nation which had come to his banda
This statement inflamed the Attorney
General, who snapped back:
You make no charges. but you have
gone to New York and you have gone

them go to people in the financial dis
trict and ask them II they didn't have

Weir, of Black River, Altoona county.
Mich, is the champion godmother of
the Balkans. BY count III young Ru-
mania mothers have summoned her to
the christening of their infants,

which numbers forty-two villages.
To the $4,000 inhabitants of this de-
partment she is "Domnlssarei Capt.

peasants to bring their children to be
baptized. Whenever g. child was
christened Miss Weir has received
quaint gifts from the mothers. These
gifts range from sucking pigs to cab
bage roots, and include beautiful en-
broideries, some hundreds of years
old.

ceiyed queer names. One will bear
through life the title of Peace Wilson
