Mr. Jayne Succeeds In Having Two
New Rooms Opened at No. 28.
Tho ll.tht over the reinstatement of
il. F. CurlliiR- as superintendent of the
ftiPDly room came off at Inst nlKlu'H
meeting of the school board, and, much
to the Hurptlsp of those who were not
on the inside, the Jennings people oamu
off victorious.
Eleven to ten the factions ordinarily
lino up, tin Hoche people having the
majority. Mr. Leonard, who was with
the Hoche side at reorganization, mine
over to the Jennings people and the
trick was done.
The contest was launched liy Mr.
Roche, ns chairman of the supply com
mittee, making- a motion to reinstate
H. F. Curling In the position of super
intendent of the supply room, "which
he left in April last to become a volun
teer in the fulled States army,"
Mr. Lang-nn promptly moved to table
the motion and Mr. Francois seconded
It. There was no discussion. The toll
was called and the I.iuifmn motion pre
vailed tv a vote of eleven to ton, as
follows:
Ayes Messrs. Frnnools. O'Alnlley,
Casey. Zoldler. May. WnWIi. Jennings,
Kclireifer, Barker, Lauauu, Leonard II.
Nays Messrs. Francois. Phillips, Jlm-ltr.

Mr. Koclie, upon heaiinpr the vote
announced, moved that the position of
supply room superintendent be done
away with entirely. "Wo don't nenl u
man there. The secretary can do that
work."
THEN CAME SPEECHES.
Mr. Lanffan took Mr. Roche to tak
for his inconsistency. Mr. Jayne said
the board should not ro on record as
ht'vlng refused to reinstate n returned
soldier In the: .lob he had before lie left
foi the war. Mr. millions spoke in a
similar sti.iln, saying among: other
things that it would be a poor lesion
in paliiotlsm for the school children
to refuse to give back a job to a soldier
boy who went mit to light for his coun
try. The motion by Mr. Hoche to dispense
with the nllle" altogether, received only
his own and one or two other vnte.
There was no call for the iiyes and

Mr. Langau then nride a motion to

v p;titlnn from sixty teachets of the
dlbtrict who have taught over twelve
years, asking- foe au increase in pay of
f 10 a month ever what each is now re
ceiving, was referred to the teachers'
committee without discussion.
On lecommendation of the high and
training school committee, through Mr.
Jayii", permission was gi anted isight
of the high sehool te.icb.ei' to visit out-of-town
high schools Instrail o! attend
ing Institute, conditional upon their
making a dally repoit ot their visita
tions and pay the regular Institute fee.
Mr. (Millions oppesed the thing on
the ground that if I hose teachers can
not gain anything from attending the
Institute that tiny ought to remain at
the high seho d and keep it open.
Mr. Ilatker thought It was very ie.
sirable th.-it the high sehool teachers
should visit other high schools that
they might gain new ideas and on his
motion the permission was granted.
The following recommendations of
the teachers' committee, nimlo through
Chairman Phillip, v.eie adopted
i'hut teachers be not i oinpelled to

ferred tho matter of opening two now
rooms at No. 28, reported In favor of
the ptnposlllon and It was adopted

sition from the minority, which at tho

Holy Thursday, but he was alone In
the proposition.
Thu matter of selling old No. 16 build
ing In the Fourteenth ward to an Ital
ian church congregation was referred
to the building committee In conjunc
tion with the controller of the ward.
Mr. Jennings, the controller of that
ward, opposed the motion because It
was made by Mr. Gibbons and was to
Mr. Jennings' mind a discourteous in
terference. Mr. Gibbons explained that
Frank Caiiticcl had asked him to In
troduce the matter. Mr. Jennings
stated that he wis also asked to Intro

LEACH'S RIFLE
PLAYED HAVOC
(Concluded from Page j.j
to thu box car In which they fit fit wore
congregated.
LEACH TOOK HIS Gt'N ALONG.
The operator at Ararat, upon receiv
ing the message from Fnlomlole, hast
ily summoned Hotelkeeper "Ulll"
Leach and Miller Jesse Villi, and they
In turn aroused n number of other men
and boys. Leach brought along his re
peating Winchester lllle and Villi had
ii revolver.
When the robbers saw the crowd at
the station they jumped off the train
on the opposite side and started back
down the tracks.
Leach and Vail ran around the en
gine, displaying their guns, and calling
upon the slowly retreating robbers to
wait. The robbers stopped, formed In
a semi-elicle and, leveling their revolv
ers, llred a volley at a given command.
Then Leach and Vnll opened lire.
While Vnll peppered awuv with his
revolver from the side of the train,
Ijeach stood In the open not seventy
llve feet off, and as the bullets trom
the robbers' pistols whistled about him
on al! sides, he coolly raltpd his rltie,
took deliberate aim at the nearest man
and llred.
Down went one of the robbers with a
iS. calibre ball through his brain. Twice
more In ranld succession the title
cracked and two more of the robbers
dropped to earth.
THEY HAD ENOFfin
The remaining three broke and fled,
two of them taking to the woods and
the other lu'idlpg down the railroad
I rack. Leach sent a bullet after the
latter and as he was seen te slop sud
denly for an instant it is thought that
ho was hit. He tinned ii'to the woods
and was lost to sight. A tlftli shot was
sent after the other two as they dis
appeared In the woods, but il was fired
at random and not effective.
Vail all this time kept blazing away
with his revolver but there Is no Indi
cation that he did any damage: all
the wounds were found to have, been
made by rifle balls.
The pursuing party from Carbondale
arrived on the scene on a special en
gine soon afterwards and with u posse
of eltbens pushed out in till directions
In pursuit of the fugitive trio.
Constables Alorau. Woodnmnsee 'ind
Ni-ary followed the route taken by the
pair that hid gone directly Into the
woods and after n brief search name,
upon their trail. Following the foot
prints In the soft snow the ollictts, af
ter a lliiee-tnile tremp came upon their
men in a paK'h of woods over towards
Thompson.
Thi robbern dropped behind a log
when thoy saw the officers approaching
but not Miilek enough to escape the
eyes if their pursuers. They wore
fagged out with their night's work nnd
out of ammunition and offered no re
sistance One of them threw away hi
revoher as Hie olllcers were closing In
upon them, but the action was detect
ed and the weapons recovered.
The remains of thp dead mini were
kept at Aiarat Summit. An Inquest
was conducted by Justlei of tin Peace
W. P. Talliniin. but the finding of a
wrdiot was deferred until Thursday.
The two wounded men weiv taken to
Carbondale nnd then reinovd to the
Lackawanna hospital in tills city on
the 4.24 Delaware and HucNon train
IS A MEltE BOY.
The one who was shot tbioiiL-'h tho
body Is a boy not oer IS years of age.
He glvts the name of James Kelly and
says his home is In shley. The other
Is apparently SO yiars of age. He i.
a liea v -set, red-headed fellow nnd
looks soft ami tnwney ns if just re
leased from a long illnets or term In
th' penitentiary more likely the lat
ter He says his name Is James Cum
mliigs and that his home Is in Logans
port, Ind Hlrf right arm ledow the el
bow is badly lacerated and the bom
shattered. Kelly will prolnbly die.
Cunimings Is In no dangt i and i oiild go
out at anv time. For fear lie might
do this without forny.lity, his cot was
wheeled next to Shannon's at the sug
gestion of Detoctlve Thomas Leyshon
and MuMin Ciippen, and word was left
for H. F. Foi ber. who Is watching
Shannon every night, to keep an eye
on Cummlngs, also.
Tlie prisoners at Carbon lale wire
given a hearing before Alderman S S.
Jo:vs last evening and In default of Jl,
oou ball, each was committed to the
county jail. They will be brought
down this morning
One gave the name of William Zehy
and said he had no heme. Tli other
said his name was Joseph Leonard and
claimed Great Ilend as ills residence.
None of the four would "ven admit
that he knew who the dead man was,
and all deny positively any connection
with the Mavlield robb'ry or even that
one Is acquainted with the other.
Ml doubt on the score, if any need
have existed, was removed by Night
clerk nrokenshiro's positive identifica
tion of Zeby as the man who shot him
in the fool.
HAS NO It&LATIVLS.
Kelly Is probably the onl one u ho
Is giving his light name He realises
that he Is in a bad way and although
cr.mk and pig-headed. tnlk in soft
tones when questioned on the hubject
and insists that Kelly Is his right name
and Ashley his home. He say.s be has
no relatives either In Ashley or any
other place.
Cummiugs was in a Joking mood, and
when asked his mime by one of the
nurses i-nld "Shannon." After a while
j he laughed and said "No; that's only a
! loke. You have Shannon's enough
' here. My name is Cummlngs. James)
Cunimlngs. Logansport, Wayne eoun
I ty. Indiana." Several times nfter-
wards, when other questioners nrked
i him his minv he answered ' Shannon."
and then wntchul to s-e the effect, af
ter which he would smile.
The later details of the robbery at
tlie Traction company station at May
Held show that the gang was a buhl
and desperate one.
At 1.15 o'clock, when the deed was
commuted, tho lat cars were being
brought In, anil at least a dozen motor
men and conductors were aslej on
the second lloor.
The gang cutno In through tho (Ire
room door wearing masks. Fireman
Patrick Dempaey was laid out uncon
scious from a blow with the butt rf
a revolver, and Engineer Frank Cog
gins was quickly overpowered, thrown
on the floor und kicked In the head.
Night Clerk W. H. Ilrokcnshire
henid Dempsey's cries and came out
of the olllce with his revolver. Seeing
tho Tobbers ho llred at them three
times. Dempsey was picked up and
held as a thleld by tho robbers, and
In this way they advanced on tho of-
lien. The clerk stood his ground until
ono of the robbers shot him and cuuscd
him to drop his gun. Ho went to tho
back door to cull from tho outside to
the men who were sleeping upstnlrs,
but one of the robbers was holding tho
door from the outside and flourishing
a revolver.
GAVE TOIM ALuYIlM.
Urokenshlre retreated and took an
Inner stairway leading to the men's
sleeping rooms and gave the alarm, Ue
fori! the crowd of niotormen and con
ductors could get downstairs tho rob
hers had gotten the cash box and de
parted. The gang Is supposed to have assem
bled In the Carbondale vard. Two of
them were Identified by the wife of
the hotelkeeper nt Thompson ns two
men whom she saw tho day before at
her husband's hotel. The telegraph
operator nt Thompson corroborated
her.

Stonecutters Protest.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We, the following committee rep
resenting the majority of tho Union
Stonecutters In this city and vicinity,
wish to give expression to our honest
Indignation at the unwarranted outrage
which has been perpetrated against us
by the writer of the article In the Seran
tonlan, published March 2'i, IMA, signed
"A Stonecutter."
If we wished to dissect the article.
Item by Item, we tire confident we could
prove each to be a malicious He, but Mr.
Caiiuccl Is able to defend himself and
will do so. we believe. In his own wa,.
However, we brand the assertion that
"not one In ten of his men are cltiiens
or taxpayers" as. a falsehood and can
prove that none arc employed who nro
not citizens. We believe this article to be
the production of the same party who,
at the last meeting of the tiulldlng Trades
council, made a motion to notify thu
Hulldlng Trades council of New Yoik,
that the work in this yard "was done by
men and boys not receiving standard
wages." anil ut tlie meeting of the Stone
cutti rs' union held hist Friday evening
the membeis uvomlcmneil such action at:
lulsely representing the sentiment of the
union.
We emphatically protest against the
assertion Hint stonecutters are underpaid
and as we all have, at one time or anoth
er, worked for thf other different con
tractors of this city and elsewhere, we
worthy of Ihe same, and we have always
paid llrst class or union wages to the mon
worth." ol the same, unil we have always
had reason to believe that he was In
sympathy with our organization.
The article In question shows the work
ings ol an envious. Jealous member, who
was Incapable In ills best days, of do
ing it regulated day's woik and who, in
stead i f .tiiilying and praitliing his

BASE BALL IN CUBA.
How a Cuban Youth Was Taught to
Play the Game.
From the inclnnati Commercl.iI-Trlb'iiiiJ.
An amusing story is told In Santiago
of tlie efforts of an Irish sergeant to
the Fifth regulars to inculcate In a
Cuban youth the principles of lias?
hall. One afternoon after dress par
ade the regulars Interested In base hall
started to make up two scrub teams
for a practice game on the spacious
parade In front of tlie barracks. .V
Cuban youth named Lopez, the son
of a prominent sugar planter, who he-'
watched several games with evident
iiiiiosity, volunteered to play.
"D'ye know anything about it?" ask
ed the sergeant, who was captain on
one side, and who was known In tiie
regiment as "San Juan." "Con yes
knock a three-bagger with one hand ?'
The Cuban looked mvstlfleil. but he
politely Intimated that he would try to
learn.
"Well, jump in and hustle," said the
captain, sending him out to right fl.;!d.
During that Inning the new player
caught an easy ball simply because it
fell Into his hands, nnd he wns too sur
prised to let It go. When the side went
to the bat the native of Santiago war
told how to hold it ami shown where
to stand. The first ball was a low one
and the Cuban fanned tho air so zeal
ously that he almost fell. Then came

a ball that somehow managed to hit
the bat with force enough to return to
the outflctd. The whole ciowd yelled
Instructions, but the Cuban stood open
mouthed until "San Juan" made a leap
for him, and, catching him by the arm.
fnltiv dragged him in the direction of
first base. Thete was a pained expres
sion upon the Cuban's face, and he re
sisted feebly, but thu Irish captain
finally landed him In triumph. A min
ute later the next nt the bat sent the
ball into the Held und tore for llrst
base.
"Hun! run!" yelled 'San Juan' to the
Cuban, who wns trying to adjust his
collar. "Hun! Olve him a chance at
that bag, will ycz!"
Lopez dodged from the base Just
In time to escape being run down. His
hat fell off and he was on the point
of stopping for it when the captain
fell upon him. All that the spectator.-!
could see was a trailing cloud of dust,
but when It cleared away Looex and
"San Juan" were visibly making fast
tlmo toward second. The ball was still
being fumbled In thu Held and there
was a good chance for n honn lun.
When the Cuban reached second bae
he had lust a shoe and a pin t of his
coat nnd the man following was at
his heels. He was not allowed to hall,
although he was In sore need of rest.
"Uun!" shouted the captain, savage
ly. "Hun or I'll"
He snatched a stick and made Cor
IOpez with such a. menacing air that
the poor Cuban finally ran as hard as
he could. Amid the howls of the spec
tators he shot over the giound. but,
instead of making for Hie home base,
he struck off across the parade and
finally disappeared beyond the adja
cent mule corral. An hour later a
small boy came for his clothes. Since
then base ball can hardly be called
popular with the youths of Santiago.
