Former Sing Sing Warden Says
He Does Not ''Retreat
Under F;re''

Thomas Mott Osborne, formerly war
den of Sing Sing and now commander
of the naval prison at Portsmouth,
N. H., with the rank Of lieutenant COM
mander, in a letter to The Tribune
denies that he has rendered his resig-
nation to Secretary Daniels pending the
examination into the charges against
the prison administration. Mr.. Os-
bornc's letter follows:
Under the heading Osborne Quits
as Head of U. S. Naval Prison you
print in this mornings paper a Wash
ington dispatch to the effect that had
rendered my resignation pending the
examination into the charges made
against the prison administration.
Permit me to say that am not ac-
customcd to retreat under fire, and
there is no foundation whatever for
this report. l placed my resignation
some months ago in the hands of Sec
retary Daniels, but withdrew 1t when
the attack against the prison was made.
When | shall present it again | do not
know; certainly not until the prison
has been cleared of the stupid and
ridiculous charges brought against it,"

A thrce-alarm Are, which severely
damaged the London Casino, Third

yesterday afternoon caused a panic
among patrons Of the Bronx Star Mo-
tion Picture Theater, adjoining. Po-
liceman Cleveland, Of the fremont Ave-
nue station, hurried them to places Of
safety in tho street. No one was In
jured. William Brown. manager Of the
theater, helped to allay the fears Of
the audience by telling them there was
no danger.
The fire destroyed several small
stores underneath the casino, which is
on the second floor, and caused dam
age estimated to be between $4,000
and 100000. Three fremen suffered
from gas inhalation, but we're treated
by ambulance surgeons and remained
on duty.
Snow clogged streets impeded the
arrival of the fire apparatus. BY tho
time the first arrived the blaze was
making considerable neadway. 1t orig

strong wind and three alarms. bring

Bronx, were turned in. Chief Kenlon
arrived on the third alarm and directed
operations.
The stores Of M. Morganstern, Will
lam Kopolsky, the Menzin Shirt Com
pany, j. Lifshitz and Abraham Green
berg, with stocks of goods in the base
ment, sustained the greater part of the
damage. Through hard work on the
part Of the fremcn the flames were
confined to these stores and to the
Casino hall. For time it was feared
the blaze would spread to the apart
ment house adjoining the burning
building, and the occupants were moved
to places of safety.
Traffic on the surface lines on Third
Avenue was blocked for several hours.
Because of the huge mounds Of snow
in Third Avenue and the side stvccts
the fire apparatus was scattered for
dozen blocks around the scene of the
fire.
Mrs. Bessie Hoffman, i'll in the house
adjoining the fire, at 1905 Third Ave

Frederick Wallace, negro, of 1873
West Fourteenth Street. was unable to
appear in West Side Court yesterday
to answer to q charge of felonious as
sault preferred by Salvatore Caparbo,
private detective, because he is in
st. Luke's Hospital, being treated for

These were inflicted late Saturday
night by Caparbo, who says that he
was sitting in Central Park with a
young woman when Wallace ap-
preached, pointed a revolver at him
and ordered him to hold up his hands.
He complied and Wallace, he charges,
robbed him of $40. He says further
that the woman screamed and the
negro fred. but missed and then ran.
Caparbo says he pursued the man,
firing his revolver as he went, to Hath

Unnecessary Studies
Should Be Suspended

at is asserted, and justly so, that
education is the bulwark Of our in
stitutions, and that it should not suf
fer because of deficiency of teachers.
In all this I thoroughly agree. But it
appears not to have occurred to the
educational authorities that to meet the
conditions following a deficiency of
workers incident to the war teachers
enough to care for every child may be
provided by suspending for the time
being unnecessary activities.
Woodworking, bedmaKlng. corset
making, salesmanship and other nov
elites ought not to be continued at the
expense of instruction in the essentials
OF an elementary education and citizen
ship. 1t is much moro important that
thorough instruction should be given In
the fundamentals than that those other
branches should be continued If there
Is dearth of teachers"
The teachers needs, of course. are
only a part of the increases which al.
most inevitably will be put upon the
next budget. 1t is already estimated
that something like s25 100000 more

A program for the Increase Of teach
ers' salaries to meet the growing de-
generation Of the New York school
system has been prepared by the Fed
Grafton Of Teachers Associations. an
organization representing sixty-four
different bodies, which has become
thoroughly alarmed by the situation
in the schools. The program has been
embodied in bill which is in the
the measure which granted the teach
ers the only increases they have had
in recent years. Its main provisions
are:
A fiat increase of 40 per cent on all
salaries below $2,160. This will in
cludc all teachers in the lower ele-
mentary grades and the poorest paid
Of those in the higher grades and the
high schools and special classes.
A fiat increase of 80 per cent In all
salaries between $3.50 and $4,000.
This covers all other salaries up to
and including principals.
other salaries. This covers assistant
superintendents and the superinten-
dent. 1t would bring the salary of
DR.. Ettinger, for example, to par
with those of the school heads in
cities like Pittsburgh, Detroit and Bos-
ten, though it would not pay him as
much as some other superintendents
are getting.
A further increase of 10 per cent
for all teachers and superinte ndents
who are employed in boys schools, on
the ground that the work there is more
disagreeablc and difficult.
at ought not to be necessary to do
more than state the facts Of the stu
alton to insure the passage Of the bill,"
declared Miss Olive Jones, secretary
of tho Federation Of Teachers Asso-
Citations, yesterday. "The situation is
desperate. Teachers are leaving the
schools in focks, and far too few are
coming in to fill their places. The
quality of those coming in, too, is So
low that it will weaken the strength of
the system for many years.
