It also contained the following: The nboe facts nre picentrd tint jou may give consult lutlon to tho following case: On or ubout April 20, Mr. SSlcdlei, contioller of tho Eighth ward accompa nied by Mr Iuigin, eontrollei of tho Elghtcmth ward, rind ehilrmin of tho tc irhcrn' committee entcied No G school, and up duo investigation I found tint piomollons had been mndo nnd a tc ichor Installed without m knowledge or con m lit.

Mr. Langan then began what he eulil was "a leply to charges made against him by the superintendent." Tho fact that tho alltged "charge" Is contained In the foregoing extract would seem to justify Mr. Gibbons' po nt that no charge had been made; that the statement by Mr. Langan wan unwarranted by tho facts and that ho should be prevented' from finishing by referring nny controversy to committee Pi evident Francois fail ed to see It that way and decided that Mr. Langan could continue his re marks later In the session. Later Mr. Langan lead from Super intendent Howell's repot t references to several schools whose average of pupils per teacher was much less or much gi eater than tho supeilntendent him self had neUocatod and charged tho latter with being liable to censure for using moie teachers than were neces sary or for showing p irtlallty to cer tain schools, principally on the West Side wheie the aveiage Is low. Mr. OJlbbons -voiced the expressed rentlmont of the piedomlnatlnrr ele ment on the boaid which ha. upheld the supeilntendent In his stand In say ing that Mr. Langan's lemarks were due to animosity Mr. Olbbens said: "I have no peisonal lnti..s in the superintendent.

He has been caught in something wrong nnd I for one will not countenance his strik ing at tho superintendent who made 110 nttaek on Mr. Lingan and no charge agalst him." No direct re ply to the details of Mr. Ribbons' remarks weie made by Mr Langan but he continued to Jus tify his couise by asserting that seven teen moie teachers this year than last ear aio employed although the enroll ment of pupils Is It ss If tho super intendent argued that he should be consulted about grades nnd teachers ho conferred his liability to censure.

Mary Thomas nnd Mrs. Hcchael Wlneham, of 319 Putmnn street, where the stolen goods weie found.

Then a double watch was placed upon them until they were fairly well loaded with merchandise when they were quietly asked to visit the ofllce on the scond floor. Tho women sought an explanation of tho request, but when told that ar gument was useless and that thev could avoid a scene by being submis sive, they complied with the request. In the privnej of the office they at first attempted to deny that the poods found upon them had ben stolen. Later, they refused to make explanations and accompanied Patiolman Neuls to po ll e headquai tris, where they were lockel In the woman's ward. A warrant for tho arrest of the wo men and pnother warrant to search their house was obtained from Alder man Howe on the infoimatlon of Pa trolman Neuls. The former paper was foinnlly solved on the prisoners by Sergeant Dieter at headquarteis and Neuls was sent with a clerk from Long's and one from The Leader to sraieh the house. Beneath each of tho three beds was found a lerge quantity of plunder. Much of It was identified on the spot, but a thorough examination was not made until the articles had been loaded Into a wagon and removed to the cen tral police station. In the collection were shoes, hair brushed, a hand minor, table linen, towels, dress goods, parasol, children's underclothing, millinery goods, leather articles for personal wear, soap, stock ings, waists, wiaps nnd.
