SPECIAL TEACHERS' PAY
A nrw trrm hcKiin today In the pntilir
(chools, with the InrBPft enrolment In
the hlntory of Phllnclclnlila Hchools. It
was Impossible to determine the oxnet
number, but according to estimates made
t the headquarters of the Hoard of Ed
ucation at least 200,000 bo.vc ami ulrls
were admitted to new classes.
Of thin numlicr 11.000 were enrolled In
the first cradew and MOO In tlio contlnu
Mlon schools for worltlns children.
Durlnpr the present wcelt two new
dchool bullilliiKS will be ready for occu
pancy. They are the T-onRfellow School,
at Tnconv. and the McClure Annex, nth
street and Hunting Park avenue. The
Ixinstellow School was constructed nt an
expense of several hundred thousand dol
lars, while the McClure nnnex Is an nddl
tlon to n lnrftc and modem bulldliiR.
Within a mouth the reconstructed liny
School, 6th and Wharton streets, will be
occupied.
The openinB of these hulldliiRs Is ex
pected to prcvont nn Increase In the num
ber of children attending part-time ses
sions, which Is now about 27,000.
In spite of the opening of the South
Philadelphia High School for Girls today,
and the organization of an nnnex to the
West Philadelphia High School at 57th
and Market streets, the excessive enrol
ment In the higher schools will be an
acute problem, according to Dr. George
Wheeler, associate superintendent of
schools. The Germantown High School,
at High stieet and Germantown avenue,
la now taxed to Its capacity, although It
was opened only several months ago.
Semiannual promotions were made to
day. A majority of the pupils succeeded
In reaching a higher grade without sub
mitting to examination. Their scholastic
records for the term Just ended was
used as a basis of promotion.
Guernsey Breeders Elect Officers
The Guernsey Breeders' Association, com
posed of leading breeders of this section,
concluded Its annual meeting at noon to
day with a luncheon at which officers were
elected for the coining year. Kred Lip
plncott, of Monistown, X. J., was elected
president; Alfred Thompson, of Avondale.
Pa., first vice president; Fred Brady, of
Sllddleton, Del., second vice president; K.

the Medico-Ohlrurglcal College to deter
mine the amount the city must pay the
Institution for the property, v.'-leh Is to be
taken over by th city for Parkway pur

the appraisal depends the fate of the
proposed merger of the college with the
University of Pennsylvania.
WHAT A DARLING! BUT EVEN LITTLE
TEDDY WAS NOT THE WHOLE CIRCUS
Shriners' Affair at Convention Hall Opens in Blaze of j
Glory, With Cute Baby
Worth the Price to See
At the ciicus ina'lnee todv nml the
performance tonight, and pn-lmbly oven
ill the' rest of the week in Convention
Hall, It won't be as exciting ns it was
last night at the premiere. Tills Is y no
means a knock: It is simply to say that
one cannot expect n bear cub to break
loose every night nnd run Into the moit
. Important box In a mighty Important uu-
" dlence.
Everybody but Mrs.' W. r'reeh t Ken
drck. Mis. William S. Vnre and the less
Important members of their families said:
"What a darling!" 'How cute!" and
things like that. Those two bosses their
husbands were lost In trte Hood of family -screamed.
How that little bear knew It
Is a thing that even .Madame Spellman
could not explain, but the cute darling
made for the bo of honor directly he
upset discipline In the ring. Then he
crossed to Bill Vare-s box and 6 rted
upstairs in the plebeian section, but an
ordinary man finally put an arm around
Win and led him back like one of those
Pekinese you see on tho hotel verandas
at a summer resort.
The circus Is great. Frank P. Spell
jnan and Preelaud Kendrick's Shriners
between them have put on a show that
Is a treat and a comfort. It can rain
pitchforks outside and your fcqt stay
dry and clean: there Is no wind to make
the tent sway In on your back: every
thing Is pretty nnd clean to tho eye,
and as for the circus Itself why. It has
all the features to be found In any
crackerjack organization-three rings
with all the acts that go with them, an
excellent aerial group, clowns that really
make you laugh, riding acts, and every
thing from soup to nuts.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL FOR
GIRLS OPENED TODAY
IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA
Eight Hundred Pupils March
Into New Building, De
clared One of the Fin
est in the City
MODERN IN EVERY WAY
Might hundred pupils inarched Into the
tiew South Philadelphia High School for
Girls today when It opened Its doors nt
II road street and Snyder nvenue. The
opening of the school will relievo In n
great measure the congestion In the pub
lic schools of the southern part of the city.
The school, when fully finished, will ac
commodate 1200 pupils. It was started a
5 ear and a half ago and Is or light granite
anil of three stories. It Is one of the most
beautiful of the local high schools, and
lends n majestic touch to the lower end of
the city. Pupils wilt be received, from nil
the district south of South street nml on
both sides of Ilrond stieet.
"The South Philadelphia High School
for Girls Is one of the finest types of high
schools to be found anywhere," said
Superintendent of Hulldlngs J. Horace
Cook today. "Nothing but the best mate
rial and ideas has gone Into Its construc
tion, for It was built absolutely on the
merits of the bidding. The finest power
plant in the State has been Installed in
the building. The Bchool has been finished
none too soon, for there wns an unprece
dented Increase of 1700 pupils In the high
school attendance this year." This Mr.
Cook takes ns an excellent criterion of
the fact that the people as a whole In
Philadelphia are beginning to realize the
advantage of following up a grammar
school course with one in high school.
"There Is a distinct demand for high
school graduates these days," said Mr.
Cook.
The school will be In charge of Dr. Lucy
Langdon W. Wilson, w'fe of the curator
of the Commercial Museum. The principal
Willi bo assisted by n corps of 32 teachers.
Among the students received toilny were
170 from the William Penn High School
for Girls. The Girls High School will
also transfer 00 girls to the new school
and tho rest will be received by pro
motion. The cost of the new school is
estimated nt 5bL'."i,HiJ.
GOING up:-1 yes, gasoline is
Another Jump, This Time Two Cents,
Making Price 23 Cents a Gal
lon, Grieves Autoists
Gasoline took another upward jump In
price today.
It was the' ninth advance In nbout five
months and autoists are more lachrymose
than ever. All of the other advances
have been only one cent. Today's rise
was two cents from 21 cents per gallon
to 23.
Just a few months ago gasoline was
down to 13 cents a gallon, nut those days
are past, and the end of tho ndvnnce is
not yet in sight, for In other districts
consumers of gasoline are paying more
than the people of Philadelphia.
"Increased demand, scarcity of supply,"
was the laconic explanation of today's
Increase made at the olllce of the Atlantic
Refining Company.
Bear Doing the Big Stunt.
Those 100 Pretty Ushers
Last night he led tho Introductory pa
rude made gorgeous by tho participation
of the I.u I.u Temple patrol. Mr. Kendrlck
followed in a lighted chariot, nnd then
came that magnificent band with the
mounted squadron led by Superintendent
of Police Ilobliihon. Those horsemen
were superb. They went through their
entire drill, taking u half hour, while other
Shriners and their families lined the
boxes around the big hall.
THOSK PltKTTY USHERS.
Aside from the circus Itself last night,
and that Is n treat nil the way through
tho plan, the offerings, the music and all
there were two other distinct features.
One of these was the audience. It was
a happy, generous, appreciative audlei ce
from Mayor Smith who with about five
members of his family came with the
aearlles. down to the humblest person under
the roof.
The other distinctively uttractlve at
tribute of "Frank P. Spellman's Winter
Circus" was the aggregation of ushers
There are 100 of them, all pretty and well
got up in u modest black dress. Even
If you don't care much for circuses it Is
worth while to go to Convention Hall
this week and give the ushers the O-O.

SPONSOR FOR ST. CYR?
NO INDEED, SAYS
MAJOR PENDLETON
Ex-Philiulelphian Resents Title
of "Cupid's Aid" Denies Re
sponsibility for Marriage of
"Silent" Smith's Widow
I
INTRODUCED THE TWO
Major K. Uiny Pendleton, ho former-
ly lived In Philadelphia nnd later moved '
to Atlantic I'lty. Is Ihr subject of nn In- I
trrvlew In lodny's New Voik World, In i
which he tells the whole story of his
association with Jean Kdwnrd Harold !
st Cj r. who was accused yer: day by
Ihr NVw York World of being plain
".link" Thompson, of Texas. Inter a New
Ymk store clerk nnd chorus man before
he married Mrs. ttedlleld and. at her'
death "Silent" Smith's widow, of Phila
delphia. Aftrr tnlklug awhile, the Major wns
asked, according :o the World, what he
knew nbout St. Cyr, and he answered:
"Now that I think II over I never did
know anything about him. I Just took
him for granted ns It seems every one
else has done."
Major Pendleton averred he tried to get
St. lyr to speak to the reporter who
wrote the account published yesterday,
divulging what It alleged to oc St. t-'yr's
claims to French birth, position nnd
wealth. According to the Major. St. Cyr
refused, snylng It wns blackmail and. If
published, would furnish grounds for a
libel suit.
It has always lieen understood Hint
Major Pendleton wits responsible for the
marriage or St. Cyr and Mrs. Smith: he
Introduced them. In the Interview he
touches on this, saying:
"Since t have been charged with re
tmniialtiltlt v fur the tnarrlairc of Mrs.
Smith and Saint Syr I feel I should dispel J
that Illusion. While I did Introduce Saint
Cyr to Mrs. Smith tho Introduction being I
forced unon me I never stood ns social
sponsor for Saint Cyr and his friends
Sworn nnd Woodhouse. They were ac
quaintances of my son. I-Mwnrd Pendleton,
and ns such were welcome to my home.
"Saint Cyr stood at my side while 1
wns talking to Mrs. Smith last spring,
nnd I could not avoid presenting him
to her; but, good heavens! I certainly
thought Mrs. Smith was capable of taking
care of herself. She had been married
twice. I certainly did not arrange the
match. But because I avoided talking to
the newspapers afterward the title of
'Cupid's Aid' has clung to me
"I have known Mrs. Smith-Saint Cyr
ever since she was 10 years old," con
tinued Major Pendleton, his tone changing
from indignation, expressed In all his
references to Saint Cyr, to that of friendly
sympathy for the wife. "I knew her as
a child, as a debutante, then as the wife
of William Rhlnclander Stewart. Inter as
the bride of 'Silent' Smith. She Is a
splendid woman. 1 cannot express how
grieved I am."
GLOUCESTER COUNTY COURT
ADJOURNS: NO PROSECUTOR
i
Failure of Senate to Ratify Appoint
ment Causes Delay
The February term of the Gloucester
County courts opened today nt Woddbury.
but the Grand Jury wns ordered to ad
journ till February 23 because the county
bad no prosecutions. This Is due to u
peculiar situation.
Joseph Summerlll. who was Prosecutor
for three years, resigned one month ago.
Graver Cleveland P.ichmnn was ap
pointed by the Governor to take his
place, but his appointment was not rat
lllcd by the State Senate. Frauds H.
McGce'and Joseph Strykcr, from the At
torney General's olllce at Trenton, were
then appointed to tako charge of the
prosecution. Both these men wete in
court today, hut said that they had not
had time to prepare the cases. There Is
much sentiment In the county ngajnst
sending two men from the Trenton office
and because the prosecuting office of the
county will have to be conducted tem
porarily from the oflice of the Attorney
General In Trenton.
Supreme Court Justice Charles Garri
son ruled the postponement today. Judge
Howard Carrow, of the Circuit Court, and
Judge Swcckhnmmer, of the County
Court, were nt the court, as was also
Foreman Daniel V. Hendrickson.

. S. DIPLOMACY TOO NOISY,
COLONEL HOUSE IS TOLD
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BERLIN, Feb. 1. Colonel House is carrying back to Washington
some mild criticism of the Administration on the Rrountl that it makes
its diplomatic moves with too much noise, it was reported today.
American officlnls, it is understood, pointed out to Colonel House,
on his visit here, thnt President Wilson might accomplish more in his
dealings with the Central Powers, if he moved with greater secrecy. He
was told, for instance, that Ambassador Pcnflcld, at Vienna, believed his
work was hampered because press representations of instruction he wns
to receive reached Vienna and were published before he received
the instructions from Washington. Consequently, all the Austrian diplo
mats were put on their guard and would not exchange views with Pentieltl,
not even nt the exclusive .lockey Club in Vienna, where diplomats and
officials meet at bridge each night and discuss affairs informally.
The (tcrmnn newspapers nre devoting columns of space to reports
of tho neutrality debate in the United States Senate. The arguments
of some of the western Senntors who declare that Americans should not
travel on Allied ships, or nt least on those carrying munitions, arc being
displayed prominently.

One of these Is n Uriel suit brought by the I

$1000 tor the costs of the Washington suit.
Yesterday's notice Is tho sequel of cor
respondence between Krnlo Money, of
Virginia, and Joseph H. Choate, Jr.. of
this city, concerning the $1000. Mr. Money
wrote In behalf of Chnloner. Mr. Choate
replied as counsel for Mr. Sherman thni
he thought Chnloner ought to pay the
Washington costs out of his regular al
lowance. l'I,ANS TO ENJOY HIMSKLF.
"Mr. Chnloner say he proposed to en
Jov himself on this trip in a manner befit
ting his birth and station," Mr. Money
wrote to Mr. Choate In explaining why
$1000 wns wanted for the case In Wash
ington. "He desires me to say that he needs
the recreation and change Washington
theatres will give him because of his
Incessant literary work for the last 13
months or more."
In the Washington petition, on which
Chaloncr obtained nn order of protection
to cover his stay during the libel suit,
he said to his brothers:
"Two of the Chaloncrs hold, so to speak,
that unenviable social asset known ns
a criminal record.' It Is now IiIkIi time

ENGLAND DENIES EFFORT
TO COERCE RER ALLIES
Says Reports Are Part of German Ef
fort to Influence Neutrals
LONDON. Feb. 1. The Foreign Oftlce
today authorized a denlnl of German re
ports that Kngland is coercing her allies
to force them to keep aloof from peace
movements. These reports said that Eng
land was bringing financial pressure to
bear upon nations warring with her to
prevent them from discussing peace.
The Foreign Oflice especially denies a
statement by the German Chancellor that
England was restraining her allies. This
statement, It was said, was undoubtedly
made for the purpose or Injurfng England
in the eyes of neutrals. Another state
ment that England Intends lo abandon
her allies was cited as an example ol
"German unscrupulousness."

E. II. Grace, president or the Bethlehem

notice on the Senators that If the Govern

recommend the abandonment of their

"In the event of the I'nlted Sstntes

D First and foremost,,
there's not a stock of
