I SCHANK & SPENCER
POLICE APPOINTEE
WAS NOT CONFIRMED
REASON TOR IT IS TOUND IN
THE TELEPHONE FIGHT.
Only One Vote was Lacking but it
Couldn't Be Secured Appointee
Wns Thomas A. I'ottcr, Whoso
Name vTis Suggested to Mayor by
Select Councilman Schroeder.
Asldo from This Feature, Last
Night's Regular Meeting of Select
Council Was Dull and Tame.
It wns expected that Mnyor Bailey's
nomination of Thomas A. Potter to tho
police force would be confirmed by se
lect council nt Its regular meeting last
night, but the meeting ndjourned be
fore the necessary eleven votes to con
firm could bo secured, although all tho
twenty-one members were present.
Previous to the meeting the police
co.nmlttce was In session and decided
to report favorably on the nomination.
The committee did not report, however,
during tho first order of business,
which, by rule, Is devoted to committee
reports. Throughout the meeting sev
eral members who were chiefly con
cerned In Potter's nomination lobbied
vigorously, but evidently to no avail,
as nothing was heard from the police
committee.
During the recent telephone fran
chise fight the promise was made to
Select Councilman Adam Schroeder
that Mayor Bailey would nominate nny
acceptable police candidate who might
be suggested by Schroeder. The prom
ise wns carried out In the nomination
of Potter, but the members who voted
against the new franchise remain solid
In opposition to confirmation. Those
who wanted to see the nominee con
firmed devoted most of their efforts to
Mr. McAndrew, but he remained firm
In his determination to oppose and vote
against confirmation. Only one vote Is
necessary to make Potter's appoint
ment a surety,
IIONDS APPROVED.
On recommendation of the Judiciary
committee the bonds of Plumbing In
spector M. P. O'Malley and Street
Commissioner P. J. O'Boyle wore ap
proved. The former's bond for $3,000 Is
signed by Thomas and James II.

John A. Mears.

GRAMMAR A PUPILS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
NEW RULE FOR ADMISSION TO
THE ADVANCED BUILDING.
It Was Considered at a Meeting of
tho Teachers Commltteo and Will
Bo Reported lo tho Board Conclu
sion Reached Which Overcomes an
Objection Feared on Account of n
Probable Lack of Uniformity in
Considering Monthly Grammar A
Averages.
At n meeting of tho teachers' com
mltteo of the board of control last
night an agreement wns reached on a
proposed rule for admitting to the high
school pupils who failed to pass 'the
Grammar A examinations.
At the Inst meeting of the bonrd Mr.
Jennings offered a motion, which wns
referred to the committee, providing
that pupils whose yearly averages and
final examinations showed the required
general average should be admitted to
tho high school, It was apparent that
the proposition would not meet with
npproval unless some steps were taken
to make future Grammar A examina
tions uniform In tho different classes.
It was pointed out that some prin
cipals marked high while others
marked low, nnd that the examinations
by some were written and by others
ornl. Without some rule to make the
examinations uniform It was apparent
that some pupils would be admitted to
the high school without being entitled
to It, while other? would not be nd
mltted by renson of the disposition of
their principals to mark low.
The matter was straightened out In
committee after a hearing bad been
accorded Superintendent of Schools
Howell nnd Mr. Jennings, whoso mo
tion opened the controversy. It was
decided to recommend to the board a
rule that admission to the hlsrh school
should be granted on tho general aver-
nge of monthly averages and ilnal ex
aminations, but that the examination
questions should bo uniform through
out the city and upon questions pre
pared by Superintendent Howell. The
markings by tho principals are also to
be submitted to Superintendent Howell
for verification. All this will be sub
mitted to next Monday night's regular
mooting of the board.
It Is estimated that 1.000 pupils will
fill the capacity of the high school.
Th.t would accommodnte 250 pupils in
rach of the four classes. According to
the result ot the recent Grammar A
examinations 1S4 pupils will enter the
high school from that grade. From
the permits and second examinations
of pupils and tho examinations of
pupils from private schools fifty addi
tional pupils will be admitted, a total
of 234, or only sixteen less than the
Umlt.
It wns estimated that 100 additional
Grammar A pupils would be admitted
on tho general average already men
tioned, making a total of 331, If it was
not provided that the monthly examln
ntiens should bo uniform and accord
ing to the questions from the superin
tendent's office.

the time he served In the Austrian

Besides that evidence, D. R. Davis,
of Jessup, the miner with whom Kolar,
the murderer, worked for a year prior

tified that tho prisoner wns not the
right man, nor nothing like him. Ko
lar Is taller nnd thinner.
Constable Reese, who mode the ar
rest, swore that he had been Instructed
by County Detective Leyshon to
watch for Kolar. He knew the man
by sight, or at least thought he did,
nnd ho went Into Movies' saloon the
night he made the arrest. The priso
ner was at the bar with some fellow

encc of liquor.
Tho constable heard tho companions
calling him Joe Kolar, and went over
and asked him his name. The priso
ner answerd him by inviting him to
take something. The question was re
peated and then the prisoner began
acting in a suspicious manner. The
constable Invited him to take a walk
down to the squire's office, but ho re
fused nnd resisted when an attempt
was made to bring him there. A by
stander was called on for assistance

ed all the way.
Justice Cannon was sworn nnd tes
tified that the man gave his name as
Joseph Kolar when brought before
him. There was a warrant charging
him with murder, and at the hearing
he was so nbuslve and violent that
he would not give any account what
ever of himself. Ho was not In proper
condition to do so, anvwnv, from
drink.
Judge Archbald directed that the
man be let go without costs. Assis
tant District Attorney W. Gaylord
Thomns was present for the common
wealth and Attorney John M. Harris
represented the prisoner.
