BOY PLAYS HOCKEY
 IN FEAR 0F BATHS
Dislike for Showers Prompts Boy
 to Avoid School

Dislike for shower baths was given as an excuse for boy remaining away from school in police court to- day. The boys father, James Rob- inson, colored, aged 53. of 1S9 Hart ford avenue appeared before Judge Saxe to explain why he did not in- sist on his two boys attending school | sessions regularly. One of the boys. the father said, iisliked the physical education course because it required him to take shower baths. The baths make him sick" the father asserted.
 A continuance until May o5 was ordered. Miss Anne O'Brien of the school attendance bureau testified that two of Robinson's boys, aged II and Is years, had been absent frorn school more than two-thirds of the time since February and it was her opinion that the father should have more control over them than he seemed to have. She said daily calls had been made at the home and notices and letters sent to the father. since the bureau was notified on March s that the boys had been absent for five weeks from the Ma than Hale school. They are seventh grade pupils, she said in reply to Judge Saxe, and appear to be nor- nal.
 Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testified fhnf O fa ha pnhipsnn yesterday afternoon to serve the warrants and he saw two colorei boys with playmates on the rear veranda. At sight of him the group slid down the pole from the second floor and ran away. Robinson told him he had never been in trouble and he thought his boys had been going to school. In reply to Judge Saxe, the sergeant said the tene- ment was in good order so far as he could observe. although it was ap- parent that the family was poor.
 Bath Made Boy Sick
 Robinson, in his own defense, said he works every day for a charcoal concern and expends his earnings on his family. He frequently asked his boys about their school attendance record and they told him they went every day. but when he told them of the reports he had received about their truancy they admitted they had not been Ntending.
 Judge Saxe read the statute aloud and said 1t was his belief that m order to md a parent guilty it was necessary to prove that he had de- iiberately hindered the children from going to school. It was a question of 'reasonable diligence" he said, and putting himself in Robnson's place he asked what ..he could be reasonably expected to do if one of his children ran away from school despite his honest efforts to have him attend. He told Robinson in under- language exactly what the law required him to do. and Robin. son assured him that he would bend every effort towards fulfilling his duty towards his children.

Puhlic WorlEs Board Would
 Cheek Up on Storm Wa ] ter and Sanitary Sewer
 Systems.

A . result of the discovery tha, bbout lS.o00.000 gallons of water Ire going through the sanitary bewer filter beds instead of the eight br nine million gallons that should be going through, the board of public works last night authorized the expenditure of S5,U00 to remedy the situation.
 The belief was expressed that htorm sewers are connected with the Senitary sewers at some points and that the leakage is causing the eA- cess water in the filter beds. In or der to correct this condition it Ylil be necessary to check up all houses in the city to locate the wrong con- necuons. All storm water sewers will be inspected. ..
 There is a possibility that at some point 2 poor connection of the drainage pipes exists and that water is in this way seeping into the sani- tary sewer pipes. About 70 weeks labor will be necessary at cost of about 3e5 per week to check up on the situation.
 The subject will be brought be- for the common council at the meet ing tonight because it is planned to have the work started at once.
 Ltuwood Street Grade Changed
 At the hearing of the proposed in- ktallation of sidewalks and curbs on hinwood street from Shuttle Meadow kvenue to Monroe street it was brought out that it was necessary that the grade of the street he changed in order that the present hard surface be used as a surface for the new facing on the street.
 In 1908 the grade was adopted but the road was surfaced and is at pres ent from F to 1s inches below the adopted grade. The plan now is to have the grade Of the present street adopted and save the city a great deal of expense that would be neces- nary if the street were to be filled to the old level. It will be neces- hary for the city to pay for chang tno the sidewalks that were installed It the grade as given by the city some years ago.
 A report will be made to the common council at the meeting to- night.
 Sewer In Stanley Court
 The matter of . sewer in Stanley Hourt was held up as property own trs would not agree to giving a right of way to the city to allow :hc b4wer to be connected with Collins strsst. Residents are in favor of the proposition but state that as they have no water in the street khere is little use for . sewer. The btrset is . pocket street and cannot oe accepted by the city. The action Mas delayed in order to give the city engineer an opportunity to examine tho situation.
 \ letter was received from Dr. +. ". Pullen in rsgard to h pool of water on; Deybx -rtreeh The mstter As it was called to the attention of the superintendent of streets.
 A letter was received from the Superintendent of construction at he Roosevelt school asking for the blainting of nine trees in the school tard. The clerk vas instructed to notify him that 1t is too late in the bsasen for the planting of trees. The matter will be taken care of next | bpring.
 {. The board voted for the purchase of two new cars. for the use of the engineering department and the h. ep1ctor. It was voted that Fords be purchased. The cost of the cars was Included in the city budget, but the matter was never acted upon.
