"My son has been promised no im

"He Is tellinir the truth, not because

The young men escaped after a chase

were smnshed. windows broken, nnd
desks of tencdiTS and pupils broken

three other schools In the vicinity of
Twentieth and Hcrks streets were en

trated. Last night Patrolman Delany. of the
Thirtieth district, was passing Dauphin
street nt Twenty-second, when he heard
the s'nmining of n door in the school
building. He hurried to the gateway
of the high iron fence surrounding the
building and found it locked.
At that moment a shot wns firel
from the shadows of the school building,
tho bullet passing near Delany's head.
Patrolman Smith, on duty a square
away, ran to the corner. Delany stood
guard while Smith sent in a call for a
