Doctor Spencer was loath to discuss
a report Of friction with Charles T.

occurred between them after Doctor
Spencer had taken steps TO bar narcotics

Preston denied that drugs were being

"Thc real reason for my resignation,
Doctor Spencer continued, "is that am

committee. That work will be moro

with children of the prc-school age,
from one to seven years.
ANY friction that existed is thing
of the past and is not the real reason
why I am getting out. There were

to get inmates out Of the House Of Cor

VOICES OF WITNESSES PROVE
LULLABY so JUROR SLEEPS
No. IL Lened Box to Church PeU and Dosed off, and Then
the Judge Declared a Mistrial

William Gaines. of 1887 Haverford
avenue, thought jury duty was some
ming like going to church.
He believed juror should be on
hand punctually when the trial started.
and that he should be there ut the fin
ish But he didn't believe the judge
could expect him to be interested in
what the witnesses had to say about
various ramifications Of the case any
more than he might be expected to alb
sorb and analyZe sermon on what
kind of slippers are to be worn on the
streets, paved with gold, which lead
from the pearly gates.

Six witnesses had been examined and

jury.
The seventh witness. woman, ap-
pcared frightened. and her testimony
was uttered in tremulous voice scarce
ly above a whisper.
Talk so that juror No. II can hear
you back there in the corner coun-
seled Judge McNichol.
The woman began again. this time in
firmer and more audible tones.
That's better" said the judge. Can
you hear her all right, now. No. 12?''
The man designated as NO. H. did
not even hear the judge.

The monotonous voices of the wit
nesscs, the closeness of the atmosphere
in the courtroom, and the jurors chair.
with its soft cushion and comfortable
back were so reminiscent of church that
Gaines evidently thought it was Sunday
morning.
a court attendant approached Gaines.
He spoke to him. Gaines smiled but
did not open his eyes. He was sound
asleep. The court attendant prodded
him and he awoke.
Spectators gr.sped the situation and
laughed. Gaines grinncd, too. He
rather enjoyed the attention temporarily
diverted his way.
Judge McNichol did not smile. He
delivered a few we'll chosen remarks on
the value Of sleep. particularly on the
value of sleep in the home, at night. in
bed.
'How much of the testimony have
you hcard?" the judge asked Gaines.
None up till now." replied No. -.
Judge McNichol then declared the
case mistrial. Another man was
rcquisitioned to take Gaincs's place on
the Friedman jury, and the case win be
recommended tomorrow.

TEACHERS ROUSED
BY PAY RISE DELAY
Education Board Finance Com
mittee HopeIessIy Split
Despite Bonus Report
FACTIONS IN FIERCE TILT

The failure Of the finance committee
of the Board Of Education to find a sat
isfactory solution Of the teachers sal
ary problem has stirred the teachers to
a fighting pitch.
Great bitterness was expressed by
both sides in the factional controversy
among the teachers as to the method of
distributing advances. The olive branch
extended by the citizens committee in
the, form Of solution that promised to
unite both sides was rudely snatched
from their hands by the finance commit
tee and the figurative hatchet which was
to have been buried now threatens to be
buried fguratively in somebody's head.
Need Two. thirds Vote
A two thirds vote by the board for
any plan to provide> increases for the
teachers is necessary. For months it has
been a matter of great difficulty to get
ten members or a quorum of the fitteen
members Of the board present at a meet
ing.
Yesterdays meeting Of the finance
committee found the six members hope
lessly deadlocked on the question of how
to distribute the money, and whether TO
borrow more or use what was in hand.
The proposition advanced by Simon
Gratz, president of the board, provided
for fiat increase Of 5000 apiece to all
teachers and other employees except JAM
tors, engineers and medical inspectors.
1t also provided for the borrowing OF
S400 900 from next years assets.
Beeber for sI35
e. n
of S135 and an advance OF the Dlck
schedule. which also stands for equali-
zation of teachers salaries. Votes on
both propositions were defeated when
t,c balloting resulted in a tie and the
SI35 fiat bonus agreed on at a secret
conference was put before the board
with reservations by several members
of the committee. Mr.. Gratz announced
his determination of carrying the fight
to the board today for his plan.
The advance of the Finegan schedule,
asked by the citizens committee, and
agreeable with the bonus to both fac
tions, was ignored by the committee.
Following the meeting there was
stormy session. when teachers and prin-
cipals representing both factions sur
rounded John Wanamaker, of the board.
and pressed their arguments to his at
tcntion: Officials Of the board joined in
and the argument became so not that
personalities were INDUCED in.
Wants Teachers to Vote
Miss Margaret Mcguire, principal of
the Mccall School. and a prominent
member of the Allied Teachers Council.
asked for q ballot by all the teachers
Of the city to determine just what they
wanted. Edward Merchant. assistant
secretary Of the board, said he would
consent to this if the balloting could
be held at the headquarters of the board
in the Keystone Building, Nineteenth
and Ludlow streets.
A meeting of the teachers was held
this morning, when plan Of action
for this afternoons meeting of the
board was discussed The Women
Teachers Organization said they would
hold a meeting on Thursday evening,
when they would also outline course
of action on the question.
