The hearing before the board of education last night on charges preferred, against Stephen w. Rob- inson, manual training teacher at the Duggan school, brought out an attendance that crowded the regu- lar meeting place, and 1t was decid- ed to adjourn to an adjoining apart ment where there was more room, but, even this was none too large.
 MT Robinson was charged with being absent from his class on March s31. Chairman Walsh ex- pIained that the hearing as on this particular charge and took oc- casion to remind the witnesses that they would have to confine them selves to this point. Judge Theodore ! V. Meyer represented MT Robinson, and the Tailors' Association, on whose complaint the question came up had as counsel Attorney Harry Spellman and Attorney John Mem- primo.
 The open meeting lasted until 10 o'clock after which the board went into executive session and discussed the question almost until midnight, when a ballot was taken which re- suited in exonerating MT Robinson oy O VOlO OLAtC " AO0As Ao0t SAAoS is not the end of it. It was pretty generally believed that there was much truth in the charg, that MT Robinson has not kept faith with the board when he turned over his business to hfs wife and agreed to have no more to do with it while he held his position in the schools. With this view of the case, another vote was passed to the effect that an investigation be made to deter mine whether or not MT Robinson is keeping faith with the city. This means that MT Robinson will be called in again but not on the dis puted question that came up last night.
 To use the language of one of the members, the hearing left an ele- ment of doubt in the minds of the board as to MT Robfnson's guilt and this being so it was nothing more than fair to give the accused the benefit of the doubt.
 Thomas DiLeo. who conducted a business across the way from the Palace Cleaners plant on East Main street. stated that on the morning of March 31, he saw MT Robinson drive cut from the Palace Clean CTS, accompanied by a MT Kennedy, and head towards the center. This was about 9:30 o'clock in the morn- ing. He also stated that he had seen MT Robinson about the place on several occasions during the. hours when he was supposed to be at school. Being questioned by Judge Meyer. MT DiLeo admitted that he is in the same business as tho Palace Cleaners. but contended that his motive in calling attention to this matter was because he is taxpayer. and objected to anybody being paid for work he was not per- forming.
 This brought up the question as to why complaint was filed against Mir Robinson some time ago by the Tailors' Association. MT DiLleo admitted that he had signed it. but said he did not know the name of the person who had pre- sented 1t to him. In answer to question as to whether 1t was not a representative of MT Shallet, the witness said No" adding that he did not know the person.,

Board Questions

 Training Teacher
S-4 Vote Quashes Neglect of Duty Charge Commis- sioners Later Decide to Question Instructor Fur ther on Allegations Brought Against Him

Domenic Scozzafava who signed a petition some time ago stating that he had not seen MT Robinson about the Palace Cleaners any time during the Bours he was supposed to be in school, and later repudiat- ed this statement in communica- tion to the board in which he stat ed that he signed the petition with others because he felt that not to do so might cost him his job. ad- mitted upon cross examination that nobody had tried to intimidate him, but all the signers had talked about 1t among themselves and came to that conclusion. Later on he thought it over and concluded that he had done wrong and decided to make amends and so informed the board and quit. He was positive that he had seen MT Robinson at the Ralace Cleaners on the morning of March 31.
 John Chabonilo, who kept a res- taurant near the Palace Cleaners and William DeLillio, also testified that he had seen MT Robinson at the Palace Cleaners on the morning of March 31. and on other occa- sions during school hours.
 Ralph Dube, an electrical engine CT, said that he had done work on and off for the Palace Cleaners and always was employed and paid by Mrs Robinson.
 The paper showing the transfer of the Palace Cleaners from MT Robinson to his wife was read, showing that he had turned over his whole business to Mrs Robin son. At this juncture, Mrs Webster asked how was it that if MT Rob inson was supposed to have nothing to do with the business. witnesses had claimed that they were employ ed by MT Robinson and had their wages fixed by him since the trans fer of the property to his wife. Mrs Webster also stated that a man named Weaver had called upon her husband and asked him to have her, Mrs Webster, use her influence on behalf of Mrs Robinson.
 All these questions were met by a blank denial when MT Robinson was put on the stand.
 Miss Jennie O'Neil, principal of the Duggan school said she had no reason to believe that MT Robinson was not at his post on the morning of March 31. She stated that his work was very satisfactory and had a good effect on the boys in Brook lyn. Miss Quinn, a teacher at the Duggan school, whose class went to the manual training school on the morning of March 31, said she knew nothing about any particular dake in March, but that her class went to the manual training de- pertinent at the usual time every morning. and she believed that if the teacher had been absent any morning the children would have so reported to her. On cross exam >ination Miss Quin, admitted that it would be possible for MT Robin son to have left the class and re- turned without her knowledge.
 During the hearing. the members of the board and the lawyers asked several questions and at the con- clusion, Judge Meyers and Attorney Spellman thanked the board for the impartial manner in which the case was conducted.

PATROL BOAT OF COAST GUARDS
 WASBLOWN UP
Vessel Was Ripped in Two at Gasoline Pier in New LOndOn-Crew Burned and Two Near Death

New London, Conn, April 26- UPP)-The patrol boat 290, one of the most famous of the coast guard rum chasers, was shat tered hulk and its crew burned and battered to-day as coast guard board of inquiry began search for the cause of an explo- sion which ripped the vessel in two at gasoline pier late yester- day.
 Chief Boatswain's Mate Alexan- der O. Cornell, who commanded the 290 the night its machine guns killed three rum runners aboard the notorious Black Duck in 1929. five members of his crew and an employe of the marine gasoline station were in Lawrence and Memorial Associated hospitals = two of the coastguardsmen near death.
 Paul Schuler and Andrew A. Rhude, enlisted seamen, were the most seriously injured when the blast occurred amidships of thu patrol boat, shattering windows hundreds of yards away and re. verberating throughout the city Doctors said their conditions were extremely grave.
 Bo's'n Cornell. George H. Aus tin and Allen W. Webb. of the coast guard, were described as se- riously injured by recovering from burns and broken bones. W. R.. Harris, pier employe. was not se- riously burned.
 Despite widespread belief among waterfront habitues that someone gave the 290 the business. coast guard officials were positive the explosion was an accident, perhaps caused by concussion of the high test gasoline used in the rum chas- CTS engines.
 Commander R. W. Dempwolf. chief of staff of the coast guard destroyer Force, said he held no suspicion that sabotage entered into the explosion. It probably was caused by ignition of fuel. he said. ~
 Investigators were hampered in their investigation by inability to question any of the men engaged in fueling the 290 for it's nightly cruise off the Rhode Island coast, Doctors forbad questioning of the injured men. tr{
 The tanks were believed to have been filled when the explosion oc cured, sending a pillar of fire an smoke high over the waterfront.
 The concussion and the soun of fire apparatus tearing throue the streets drew thousands of DC sons to the scene. First arriva found coast guardsmen lying ( the deck. stunned. Cornell stac gered below decks and brought u! Schuler, the only member of th' crew below at the time of the ex plosion. Harris had been knocked flat on the pier.
 The injured were rescued as the boat settled quickly, only its masts and superstructure projecting above the water.
