THE COUNTY UNIT BILL.

each county OUTSIDE the districts
that have first class high schools.
All the education required is to
be able to read and write the
English language. These men are
to receive $500 per day and 10
cents per mile each way to tell the
local boards whom they must en-
ploy to teach their schools and
wages they must pay. They shall
select a county superintendent and
fix his salary. They are to select,
on nomination Of the county SUI
perintendent, such assistant super
visors, attendance officers a n d
other employees.as they think nee
essary. They are to have author
lity to sell schoolhouses and sites,
and change boundary lines. 1t is
their duty to levy a tax on the
county district to pay the debts
of all the local districts. Whoever
heard of a socialist going that
far? Why not tax all the mer-
chants to pay the debts of those
that are in debt, and the and the
banks the same way?
They are to take improperly and
money belonging to the local dis
tricts from them and give it to the
county district without compen-
sating the local district something
the constitution does not allow &.
| No wonder county superintend-
ents in their state convention re-
fused to endorse the bill!
1t provides that not more than
one member of the board shall be
elected from anyone township, but
that any qualified person may be
a candidate simply by filing. Sup
pose there are three candidates
from one township, and one received
1000, one 1900 and the other 1000
votes; only one Of them can be
elected. Now suppose someone m
another township who votes
against every school tax and takes
no interest in public schools gets
his own vote only; if no one else
files in his township, and there are
only 6 townships in the district OF
or candidates file from only 6, he
will be elected over the candidates
that received 1000 and 1900 votes
There are Is townships in Jasper
County, which would leave 6
townships without representation
on the board. How would the
towns like to have their schools
managed by a board living in 9th
er towns? Be honest; how would
you like it?
When this bill was first intro
duced, it included all towns O
$500 and under, but they soor
/ found that the towns would no

Gallo Sebastino. partner OF Pet

admitted under examination at the
detective headquarters that he was
with Petruzelli last Saturday night.
He said that after attending a
theatre he had walked up Market
street to Seventh street. and he then
left Rocco.
Shortly before ? o'clock Sab
astino was taken 20 the morgue by
Detectives Mahoney and Virden to
allow him to view the body Of his
late partner.
According to brothers Of the de1d
man they think the murder was the
outcome Of a Black Hand feud
as Rocco appeared TO be worried
when he was in Washington.
Prior TO the arrival OF the brother
Of Petruzelli. however, Detectives
Mahoney and Nirden who were as
signed to the case last Thursday
had reached the conclusion that the
slain man. whose body had been
partly consumed by flames, was
Petruzeiii. This suspicion was
strengthened yesterday when the de-
tectives showed the remnants OF the
clothing worn by the man found
murdered. TO his associates and they
said they resem mbled those worn by
Petruzelli. Petruzelli. according to
residents in the vicinity OF the Mar
ket street shoe shop. has been miss
ing since last Saturday night AT
that time he was seen leaving the
shop with Caro- Sebastino. a
partner in the shoe repairing busi-
ness at that place, TO 90 to thea
tire.
The first clue that led 10 the iden-
tifying OF the dead man was fur
nished in the marks OF the Wash
iugton clothing dealer on the coat
worn By the murder victim and the
marks OF the cleaner in this city
the Eagle Dye Works. at Sixth ave-
nue. and Duncan street. The dyers
said they had cleaned the clothes
for a cleaner. an Italian, living in
West Twenty street. near Mar
ket street. The cleaner. however, ac-
cording to the police. kept no record
OF clothes he cleaned. but by show
ing the clothes to residents In that
section. the detectives learned that
Petruzeln a shoemaker at the Mar
ket street address. wore a suit that
resembled these clothes.
The investigation then revealed
that this man was missing and had
been for nearly a week. The part
ner Sebastlno was questioned but he
could threw but little light on the
OF his partner.

however, the detectives secured a
