SCHOOL HEAD is DEFIANT

Mayor Hylan and DR.. William l.. Et-
finger, superintendent of Schools, ex-
changed words yesterday on tho school
situation. The Mayor said Ettinger's
suggestions for a. building program were
"the cheapest kind of ordinary bunk"
Dr. Ettinger replied that Mr.. Hylan's
remarks were stuff and balderdash."
The statement from City Hall was
provoked by a newspaper editorial ap-
proving the school building record OF the
Mitchell administration and suggesting a
change in the clty's charter to expedite
new construction.
This Is all the cheapest kind of ordi-
nary bunk" said the Mayor. There is
no need Of changing the charter or
amending the law with respect to con-
tracts. as suggested by Ettinger, except
that some people may want to open the
door to conditions that may embarrass
the present administration and stop fur
ther construction Of public schools In
order to continue the Gary plan for nit
ting the child for the mill and factory.
President Ryan (of the Board OF
Education) had an investigation made
Of the building department and Is now
making changes so that the control or
the department will be taken out OF
Superintendent Ettinger's hands. and
under new policy from fifty to one
hundred new schools will be under way
during the next year, and the Board OF
Estimate will appropriate the necessary
money for that purpoSe.
When this statement was shown 10
Mr.. Ettinger, he said:
That's what I'd call 'balderdash.
How could you answer any stuff like
that 1t is time to put all that sort
of stuff into cold storage.
eve have never criticized the adj
ministration in building schools. No
matter what were the shortcomings OF
the building department that cannot be
attributed to rue. School construction
has been taken out of my hands and
turned over to DR.. Ferguson. chairman
of the building committee OF the Board
OF Education.
"Dr. Ferguson has been working hard
and efficiently. but it's matter OF legal
restrictions. What avail plans when you
cannot let contracts? 1t Is question
OF the suspension of the contract mar
ket. They cannot take away from me
more powers than they have taken away
already"
Mr. Ettinger explained that by recent
resolution of the board school building
and other business administration was
vested In the president and members OF
the Board of Education.

LAWYERS ARE BLAMED
FOR DENIED SUITS

Responsibility for failure Of liti-
giants to get their cases considered
on merits was Tuesday directly
placed on attorneys who failed to file
required bills of exceptions, in a
supreme court decision denying a
rehearing in the case Of Dora Dean
Hickey against the Douglas Milling
4 Power Company.
The opening paragraph Of the
unanimous opinion, written by JUS
tice Quicker. reads:
appellant has filed a petition for
rehearing. In the petition it has
been seen fit to lay stress on the
contention that the decision Of this
court dismising the appeal and
affirming the judgment, is based
upon a technicality. No assertion
could be more contrary to the fact.
Appellants loss Of a hearing on the
merits was not due to the applica-
tion Of any technical rule Of proce-
dure, but to the failure Of its coun-
Gil to comply with a plain, manda-
tory provision Of law whereby the
errors claimed to have been COM
mitted by the court below could be
reviewed by this court"

ELY THREATENED
WITH HIGH WATER

Snow waters from Robinson can
yon reached the food stage last
night and at the outlet of the cam
yon under the railroad viaduct the
volume was too great for the ditch
overlooked and came down Aultman
street. At one time the water conn.,
ing out Of the canyon and washing

where the passenger line enters the

vent the damage. The blasts that
reused the sleeping city about 2:3O
.. m. were shots that were put in
the side Of the road bed at the en-.
trance to the viaduct in an attempt
to widen the bed Of the creek and
lessen the force Of the water that
was driving againct the railroad fill.
says the Ely Times.
The change in the weather that
turned what promised to be a dam
aging rain into snow and the lower
Ing Of the temperature to the freez-
ing point checked the feed waters
on the watershed and just before
daylight the volume of water de-
creased below the danger point.
Central Ely is the section Of the
city that is exposed to the damaging
effects Of the high water. Several
houses have been flooded to such an
extent that the families were COM
PEELED to leave their homes.
The winding course Of the open
ditch below the outlet Of the storm
sewer is responsible for the flooded
condition Of this section of the city
as the volume Of the food water is
too great to follow the course Of the
ditch and overfows its banks.
This morning the water from
Robinson canyon is confined to the
ditch that serves as an intake to the
storm sewer and is coming down in
such quantity as to indicate high
water tonight.
The bridge above Lane city was
moved from its position and for a
time the canyon road was impass-
able. County Commissioner Baird
with q force Of men is working to-
day to repair the damage.

CHINESE PIRATES
MIMIC OLD DAYS
ROBBINC DONE ALONG COAST
AND ON RIVERS BY HEATH
EN- WoRSHIPPERs

Shanghai, China--Robert Louis
Stevenson's tales Of pirates bold
are rivalled by the daring escapades
and adventures of the Chinese
river and coast pirates.
One of the most audacious deeds
of the Chinese pirates which has
ever occurred in Chinese waters
took place recently when an armed
pirate gang boarded the China Mer-
chant Navigation company's steamer
kwanglee, off the coast of Annoy,
held up the European captain, the
ships officers and passengers and
escaped with $4,000 in valuables
and money. Fl
Captain Lindsay Crawford was
sitting in his cabin when pirates
rushed in, held him up with revolt
vers, bound him. He was tied, gag
eed and locked in a little room
along with other foreign officers for
more than 80 hours.
The robbers proceeded to the treas
ure room of the vessel, broke it
open and removed silver bars val
ued at $4,000. The bars, together
with $4,000 taken from the ter
rified passengers, were lowered
over the side of the steamer to their
fellow pirates, who were waiting
in Chinese junks. Rich silks and
furs, amounting to $4,000, being
taken from Shanghai to Canton as
cargo, also were taken by the
pirates.
Before leaving, the pirate cautain
with a swagger equal to the bravado
Of Treasure Island" hero, wished

by and safe Journey" Incident
ally, they put the engines of the
ship out Of order. While plumber
ing the vessel the pirates shot a
number of Chinese passengers,
threw two Chinese overheard, but
did not modest the foreign" pas
sengers. Mrs. WI Ting Fang, wife
Of DR.. WI Ting Fang, former
Chinese minister to the United
States and a leader in the activities
Of the Canton government, a pas
senger, was uninjured.
While this affair is unquestion-
ably one Of the most daring and
successful robberies to occur off
the China coast, the pirates operat-
ing along the South China coast
and the rivers carry on well-organ-
lied robberies daily.
The pirates number into the
thousands, and they are particularly
fond of boarding the junks on the
rivers and carrying off a cargo Of
rice, wood or sundries.
They are organized into bands
and follow the directions or their
leaders. The islands off Ningo are
infested with the robbers, and SO
well acquainted are they with the
country that is is almost impossible
for the river police to capture them.
When they are captured, the pirates
are shot Immediately.
