I Hostilities began when Mr. Shins, of
the new building onimltteo, repom-
Imrndid that one hundred slnql' and
i MvU'i-n H'.ir seats be purchased from
i Thomns Kntip for two additional rooms
that Mi Jane conti mplates opening

method of doing business, contending
lhal supplies of this Kind should bo
adrrtl-td for.
WANTS TO KNOW.
Mt J"nnlnss, Mr. Langin and others
wanted to know who otdeied these
looms to be opened up and what i.uces
f,lty I'Xisled tor additional rooms. Cip
tiln May alto questioned the advisa
bility of the move and to how tint ho
had room for doubt ho lead v. list of
eleven schools of the same size as No. 23
that have u lurgei enrollment and big
gri axptago attendance.
Mr Jane explained it war the prl
marj giaih-s lh.it ei euowded' that
the attendance was constantly irrioas
Inif that th rooms woulu otilj be
openi'd when the superlntendpnt certi
fied that additional rooms were needed.
Captain May lead fiom the finance
committee's lepoit .onu facts con
cerning tho deficit oi this vear and
suggested that It was bad financiering
to pile up an expense that can be
avoided, Mr 1iane hinieif, admitting,
Captain May remaiked, that the now
looms aio not lmni"dlitely necessary.
Mr Jennlng-, alio spoke in this -train
and expressed tho opinion that If Mr.
Jajne would consult with the superin
tendent about real ranging tho looms,
tho new expense for s-eats and other
furnishings might be avoided
Mr. Lnngan questioned the legality
of bujint: desks without hst seiurlng
bldj and asked that the secretary bo
Instiucted to lead the tule of thoboald
gov einliig the case. Chaliman Davis,
however, Igncied the request and pio
neded with the taking of tlio ote on
Mi Casij's amendment to leCer the

The motion was defeated by a vote of

Another squabble waspicclpltattd by
the building committee's recommenda
tion that William Zang be engaged as
Janitor of No. 3 building at a salaiy
of J6i) a month, his seiviies lo begin
upon his "being notified "
Messrs. Jennings, Langan, Casey and
Tiancols picked all kinds of flaws In
this ipcommendation. pnrtlcuhtily crit
icising the pmvlMun thai the salaiy
.should commence when the pinltor
would be notified and the lack of n
provision doing nwa with the present
janitor at No :; bpfoie Idling a new
one
Mr. Shlies rsplained that the Janitor
vvuh nut to bo hlied until tho school
was opened, piobably not until next
hepieiubei. As to the possibility of
I having two Janltois to pa, Mi. Shires
explained that Mr. Z.ang was to be
J janitor of new No. " and that with
i the closing of old No. S the piesont
ianitoi'H engagement would terminate.
I Mi. Langan advised that the commit
I tee move carefully in thin matter, bear
ing in mind that the piesent Janitor
I wa hired for a year
i Mr Kvans spoke about ihe uneor
i Utility nf the date when the school is
to lie opened and of the unwisdom of
employing, or empowering' a commit
tee to employ a second janltoi even
conditionally when there is u question
MB io wiifiiifi ui jiui iiii'k is tfiuiuuy-
ment for him, and followed It up by
moving to tefer the matter back to the
eommlttec in conjunction with the up
eilutendpnt. The motion picvalled
unanimously, the Davis faction not
wishing to have Mr Evans lined up
with the enemy on a vote.
'Here's something for the econom
Irts," said Mr. ltoche, looking around
at the Jennlngs-Francols-May people,
and then he lead a resolution In his
capacity as chairman of tho supply
committee, recommending that "the
last two orders for biushes he returned
to tho Setanton Urusli company, and
that the TOO gros of pens last oidered
fiom Reynolds Brothers be sent back."
WASN'T CASTING UP.
Mr. Iloche then went on to explain
that these goods had been ordered by
the foimor supply committee when
there was no need of mem.
Mr. Casey, who was chairman of last
year's supply committee, rose to Justi
fy himself. He said the goods had been
nntraeted for by action of the board
and the committee had simply ordered
them delivered to the supply room. The
same applied to tho biushes.
Mr. Ttnt'ho said ho wasn't casting
rcllei tlons on anybody Tho now com
mittee made an inventory of the goods
In tho supply house, and (hiding that
thero was an overstock of brushes and
pens decided that It would be best to
send hick tho last deliveries.
Mr. Kvans, however, wouldn't let It
go at this, He said: "Yew, that's true,
but we also arrived at the conclusion
that wc could buy those samo brushes
fifty per cent, cneaper than the old
committee paid for them."
Everybody voted In favor of tho res
olution to return tho surplus goods.
On motion of Mr. O'Malley the old
No, 23 school property In the Third
ward was sold to Patrick Noon for $500.
Mr. Evans stated that ho had heard
a rumor to the effect that a horse be
longing to tho school district wqb sold
and nnother bought In Its place, with
out tho boaid being consulted. Th
members laughed, and voted Mr. Evans
a commlttco ot one to investigate thi
mare's neat.
The pay-ioll for day teacherH was
read and on motion ot Mr. Phllllus it
was ouleicd that wan ants bo drawn
for tho s-evcral amounts, and also for
the night school teacheis' pay, provid
ing tho pay-roll is approved by tho
superintendent.
On motion of Mr. Phillips It was or
dered that tlio schools close on the af
ternoon of March 23, when tho lecop
Hon to tho Thirteenth Is to take place.
Mr. Cutoy moved to lay the motion on
tho table, but no otto was unpatriotic
enough to second It.
The contract for constructing the
sower at No. 3 building was awaided
to P. P. O'ltoro, whose price Is $315.
THROAT BADLY GASHED.
Oscar Carpenter Found Lylnp In a

MET A SUDDEN DEATH.'
Frank Olkiewnsky Was Stiuck by a
D. & H. Passenger Train.
Frnnk Olkiewasky, of South Wyo
ming avenue, was Instantly killed yes
terday afternoon at 1.50 o'clock while
walking on the Delaware and Hudson
railroad tracks near the South steel
mills. Passenger train No. 3, due heie
at 2 20 o'clock, struck him and hurled
him forwaid and to the right with
great vlolpnce. The blowing of gongs
at tho mills probably prevented Olkie
wasky hearing the approach of the
train and the engineer did not see the
man until too close to prevent the ncci
dent, owing to the great clouds of
steam which were blowing across tho
tincks at the time.
The train was stopped and the re
mains, for Olkiewasky was dead when
the trainmen reached him, were
brought here and lemoved to the Lack
awanna hospital. Here it was found
that he had a compound ftactuie of
the skull and jaw on the left side and
a compound fiacture of the right leg
below the knee. Later, friends Identi
fied tho remains and T'ndertaker La
puskl removed them to the icsldence
of Ft .ink Volklew icz, 021 South W li
ming avenue, where deceased had
boaided.
Coroner Roberts was notified, and
after viewing the lemalns gave per
mission for burial, deeming an Inquest
unnecessary. The funeral will be held
Thursday morning and Interment will
be made at the Minooka cemetery.

NEW RULING ON
MORTGAGE BONDS
NOT TO BE TAXED WHEN THE
BOND BEARS STAMPS.
Formeily Bonds Accompanying
Mortgages Wero Classed nB Prom
issory tootcs nnd Wero Subject to
a Tax of Two Cents on the Hun
ched Now They Aro Placed on tho
Special Tax List Conditions Under
Which One and the Other Aro to
Be Stamped.
Commissioner N. U. Scott has modi
fied his ruling In tho matter of war tax
on mortgage bonds
The original decision, nfllrmed by the
attorney genet al, was that bonds ac
companying moitgages should bo con
sidered In tho category of promissory
notes, and subject to a tax of two cents
on every $100.
Just beforo the last congress ad
journed, It pussod a law to this effect:
"Whenever any bond or note shall bo
secured by a mortgage or deed of trust,
but ono stamp shall bo required to bo
placed on such papers; provided, that
the stamp tax theicon shall bo the
highest late requited for said Instru
ments or either of them."
The modification In tho commission
er's former ruling Is made to conform
to this law. In Interpreting It ho ex
plains that whenever a bond accom
panying a mottpage Is taxable It le
eiulres a fifty cent stamp instead of
stamps at the late of two cents pei
flOO. When the moitgago is taxable
tho bond accompanying need not be
stamped, but If tho mortgage is not
taxaUo (as when it Is for less than
$1,000) the bond nccompanjing It i en
quires a fifty rent stamp.
TAX ON MORTGAGES.
For example. On a mortgage foi less
than $1,000 there is no tux. On a moit
gage not above $1,000 and mote than
$1,000 tho tax- is twenty-five cents.
Evciy additional $300 is taxed at twenty-five
cents.
If the mortgage Is less than $1,000 the
bond shall bear a fifty cent stamp. It
the mortgage Is for $1,000 or over and
not above $I,r.00. tho bond would be
stamped At $.',000, when the tax on
tho mortgage would bo flftv cents nnd
the stamp required for the bond is llfty
cents, thp mortgage is to be pieforrcd
When tho bond is stamped the fait
Is to bo noted on the nccompanjing
moitgnge; when the moitgago i anles
the stamp note of It is to be made on
the bond.
This tilling does not include instiu
ments of this character issued i.y pUl.
ties other than individuals.
The matter of taxing undivided
profits has also undergone another
change of ruling. At first tho collet t
ors were diiected to tax undivided
profits. Then came a ruling to the ef
feet that undivided profits weie not to
bo considered ns suiplus and wero not
to be taxed. Now comes a decision
that a distinction shall bo mado in un
divided piollts. That out of which
loans aro made and which aie nut lo
other like uses Is to be taxed as sui
plus. That which Is used solely for
pajlnc: dividends Is not to be so mui
sldered nnd Ih exempt fiom tax
