COMMITTEE FAILED TO MAKE REPORT EVIDENCE WA3 NOT TRAN SCRIBED UNTIL LAST EVENING. Copies of the Transcript Are Dis tributed Among tho Members. It Proves to Be Very Tame Rend ingIt Is Interesting, Though, from This Very Fact nnd Somo Samples of It Aro Accordingly Given Below Some Teachers Thought tho Discipline Was Very Lax. No report came from the hlch nnd training school committee, on the high school faculty appointments last night. The committee wasn't prepared to re pot t, presumably, because the truns Hctlpt of tlu evidence of tho Investi gation was not ready for distribution among the controllers until Just before the bontd convened. Nothing was said by the committee concerning the falluie to report, but Sir. Jennings who made the motion at the lnst meeting to have copies of tho evidence furnished the members, ex plained that ho was gat tailed the com mittee (I'd not have time to get its report in shape but thought that It was only fair to the high school teachers that they should know nt the earliest opportunity whether or not they were to be appointed nnd he moved that an adlourned session be held next Friday night and hear and pass upon the le port. Tills passed with an nmcmimcnt that tho meeting should be for general business. PERUSED THE EVIDENCE. All during the ni'etlng, when more engrossing matters were not claiming attention, the controllers perused the eighty typewritten pages of testimony. What they saw caused no apparent bulging of eyes or taking of breath. The witnesses examined were Vlce rrlnclpal Loomls, Sllss Chase. Sir. Hughes, Sir. Wagner. Sir. Schlmpff, SIIss Cliff, Sir. Frledewald. Sir. Jor dan, Sir. Welles, SIIss Nye, Sllss Gregg, Sir. Flood. SIIss SPison, SIIss Connor. Principal Phillips, SIIss Morse, of the high school faculty, nnd SIIss Potts, secretniy to Superintendent Howell. The last named testified riinply to having found the high school doors locked on several occasions. The oth ers were questioned generally jn the discipline of tho school and r.s to how Principal Phillips einpbned himself. The questions were asked in tho main by Superintendent lljwell. Professor Loomls was the first wit ness called. Here Is it sample from the first copies of pages of his testimony showing bow the questions were askod and answeied: Q. Now, while visiting the high school during the last year, I found that on all occasions such as commencement exer cises anil so forth, the general drill work was done by SIIss Gregg. How does that happen. I mean the drilling of tho boys nnd girls to go oft and on the stake. Tho guieral walking discipline recmed to be under her control. How is that that la done? A. I couldn't say. AH work that I have been nskod to do by tha principal I linvo always done. (J. Has he ever asked you to do any of that work? A. No, sir. I have offered my services and asked him If there was anything that he wanted me to do. 1 have done that a number of times. Q. In your judgment, to whom does that work belong? The drill work up tlieie; tho marching of the boys and girls? A. I should say to any one to whom It was assigned. I should lie entirely will ing to do tliat work, but I do not con sider It my place to go and force myself forward and ask for it. Q. Have you ever asked to do that work? A. 1 havo not. PRINCIPAL'S WORK. Q. Will you tell us to whom docs that woik beloi.g? A. I should say It belonged to tho prin cipal or any one to whom ho nsslgned It. tj. Think over that question. Suppos ing you are getting leady for commence ment and tho bos and girls aro to bo drilled In cider to make a proper ap pearance In walking on and off the stage. Now in your Judgment to whom does that work belong? A. Win n I was principal of Keystono academy, I did It myself. (. From what you know of other schools, dors the principal do It? ti. If the principal does not do it, should not the vUe principal do it? A. I would not consider It was his duty to ask the privilege of doing the work. Q. We are not making a personal case of this. What we want Is tills. Another person has done that wink, as you have admitted, if the ptlnelpal does not do th it work. Id whom should that work go? A. Why It would propel ly come to me, being the next In line. Q. In the schools you have visited, has the vice principal done the woik next In line of succession to the principal? A. It depends, of course, entirely upon the work you mean. Q. 1 am talking about the general dls. clpllne, the drilling of the boys and girls, marching back and foith on the stage and through the entire building, if the prln clpal doesn't do that work, we want to know to whom it beiolngs? A. I think It belongs to whomever ho may assign It. i. Have j or. eter attended uny month ly meetings in the high school? A. Well, wo have had what might lie called monthly meetings. We meet the second day after the close of the month to make the standing of thu pupils, to nwiko their deportment. Q. l"-r what other purpose? ' v A. Well, thut Is tho prlmiiipal part of It. Q. Has any topic been taken up such ns the marking of recitation paper? A. I think not. i,. Hns tho question of grading ever como up? A. Yes. Q. Havo you ever been assigned any topic to present at these monthly meet Ingn? A. No. Q Can you name for us three subjects that have been dlscuiscd at thee month 1 meetings while you have attended? A. The question of passing pupils has been discussed, and I think the question of tardiness. Q. Those are nil that you remember? A. They aro all that I recall Just nt thW moment. As T suld, the ct.scntl.il part of the mo-qlng was for the marking of. the deportment. THE MOSElt CASE. Prof. Loomls did not think ho bad been propel ly sustained by the prin cipal in the Sloser case when the or fendlug boy was let off with an apolo gy made before tho school in which he simply said ho was sorry if he did anything wrong. The question "is the discipline In lite Scrnnton high school lax or linn?" wus asked each witness and each also was asked about tho conduct of the pupils in the locker rooms with particular legard to tho uso of profanity nnd like Immorality. Prof. Loomls said ho had heard somo profanity In tho locker room, but not much nnd ns to tho discipline generally ho thought It would conipnre favorably with Philadelphia, but not with Now Yotk. H was not up to tho standard which he himself would set. During nil the time that Professor Lomls wns In the high school the prin cipal never visited his room to give any pedagogical Instructions and never discussed with him Ills method of tcnchlng l.nlln anil Greek. As to the making of pnpers. the witness said there was no uniform standard. Each teacher marked papers accord ing to his own Judgment. He and Prof. Hughes, however, conferied In the matter of mtii'klng the Latin ex irclscs. In nnswer to a question from Sir. Gibbons, Prof. Loomls sahl he had heard profanity about the school and when asketl to give an estimate of the number of times, admitted that It might be as much ns one word a week He also admitted that a llro cracker was set off In the locker room and that wrestling matches between boys hud also occurred theie. The best of feel ing exists between the men teachers, he said, nnd there is no association of a social nature between the men and women teachers and he could not therefore pass upon tho question as to whether or not they were on friend ly terms. The doors are locked, he admitted, a short time after the school Is called so as to detect the tardy ones. DISCIPLINE GOOD. SIIss Chaso was asked concerning English classes nnd said a number of conference hnd been held between the teachers of English regarding stud ies nnd workings. She knew nothing wrong with tho moral atmosphere of tha school aud, as far as she could see, tho discipline was good. Prof. Hughes said that Principal Phillips visited his room about twlco a month and saljl about five mlnttntoa nl n time. He never heard any pro fanity anywhere about tho school. The discipline wasn't as firm as it might be. he thought. Conferences were held occasionally by the faculty to discuss school work In general and a meeting was held once a month to dis cuss conduct of pupils and the like. A uniform system of marking wns agreed upon nt one of tho meetings. He thought the moral atmosphere of the boys' locker room to be bad. Prof. Wagner, who was next called, testified that ho had charge of the boys' locker room; that the moral at mosphere there was bad; that ho did what he could to remedy it, but did not make any complaint of it to the principal. He, however, never heard any profane or vulgar language In tho locl'er rooms. Thus the testimony goes on, pago after page. Teachers who seldom vis ited the locker rooms heard profanity there; the teachers in charge of the locker rooms never heard profanity there. Some teachers thought tho gen eral discipline all right nnd some thought it all wrong. All agreed, how ever, that Principal Phillips spent very little time In the class rooms, seldom conducted pedagogical conferences nnd had no uniform standard for markings, Tho lax discipline in the locker rooms was in permitting boisterous conduct and horse play, it would be gleaned from the whole reading of the evidence. LACKAWANNA OFFICIALS. Passed Through This City Yesterday Afternoon After Their Tour of Inspection They Enjoyed a Very Fast Run. The party of Delaware. Lackawanna, .Till Western oflleials w ho have been making an inspection tour of tho road since Thursday, pasod through beta yesterday on the return trip to New Yoik.

The new Lackawanna olllclals were highly pleased with tho trip, especially as It convinced them that they nie olllclals of no mean railroad. Just by way of indicating that In the mnttor of roadbed and equipment, the Licitawnnna Is not so lew. Superinten dent rf Tranrportntlon Daly arranged for a fast run from Lath to East Uuf falo on tho trip outward Sunday after noon. Engine 010, one of the company's ordinary passenger locomotives, was hitched on to the special car nnd orders wero given to Engineer John Evans to "let her out a little." An oven hour nnd a hnlf after the word was given tho party landed in East Buffalo. The ills- tnnee is 101 mild, which makes the rate of running a fraction less than reventy miles nn hour. And this wns done. SIi. Daly says, with no especial effort at record-making, every precau tion being taken in regard to safety such ns plowing up at crossings nnd going through yards. The fact that No. U with Its big train, heavily loaded with siimniM travelers, nnd carrying an extra ear was making Its time to the second from Ttuffaln wns another cause of felicitation to the Lackawanna people ns It was very deslrabl that the party of western passenger agents aboard should 1)3 given a good Impression.

The report of tho pistol attracted a large crowd nnd Olllcer Weathers ap peared and telephoned to the hospital for nn ambulance. Tho Injured man wns quickly removed from the scene and an investigation revealed the fact that the ball had entered between the ribs and the hip, lodging In tho ab dominal cavity. GAVE IIISISELF UP.

The three men had bean carousing together for several days and while Davenport was sober, the other two were slightly intoxicated. A Tribune man had a conversation with Davenport at the station house after the shooting, and he said he fired the shot in self-defense. His story of the affair was to the effect that while coming from his homo near where tho shooting occurred, be encounterel Pulvert nbusing a small boy. He remonstratel with him and was struck In the face by Pulvert, re ceiving an ugly gash over the eye, which closed It. ENRAGED. HE SHOT.
