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 private car "Owego" nn
which they made the tilp was attached',
to No. U, which leaves hero at 3:Si
p. m.
Accompanying the party were a num
ber of w stem passenger agents on
totito to th.:r convention In Xi -,v York.
They wer: met nt P.uffulo and traveled
ns the gii'str of General Tr.t'Vie Slau
ager Ouldwe 11 who v u chairman of
th"lr association before aumlng his
r resent pos'tion with the Daloware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
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.

Shooting Affray at Pittston Lnst
Night That Will Probably Result
in Murder James Pttlvcit, of West
Pittston Lies In a Precarious Con
tlltion in the Pittston Hospital.
Davenport Gnvo Himslf Up nnd
Spent the Night In tho Pittston
Stntlon House.
James Pulvort, of West Pittston,
formerly an engineer on the Lehigh
Valley railroad and lecently employed
nt tho Clear Spring colliery, was ser
iously If not fatally shot last night
by Charles Davenport, an ex-soldler.
who has seen service In Cuba, and is
now employed as a laborer on tho
Mnln street sewer.
Tlireo shots were heard, a cry of
distress rent the nlr and a few mo
ments later half a dozen men ran out
of the alley running from Hutler to
Mill street, among the number being
Pulvert, who staggered out of the al
ley and fell to tho sidewalk exhaust
ed, exclaiming In an undertone that
he was shot.
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.
While Pulvert wns being removed
Charles Davenport, who did the shoot
Ingil, went down Slain street and ap
proaching Connell Informed him that
he had just shot i man. He was placed
tmder arrest and taken to tho station
house.
John Lacoe, Davenport's stepfather,
who had been in the company of Pul
vert and Davenport, was also placed
under arrest by Oillcer Weatheis and
locked 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.
Enraged by tho stinging blow, Dav
enport drew bis revolver from his
Docket find fired the three shots in
quick succession, as previously related.
A telephone message from the hos
pital at 2 o'clock this morning stated
that Pulvort was In a very serious con
dition and that his chances for reeov
ety are extremely doubtful,
Hotb men have heretofore borne good
reputatlons.and Davenport served with
honor In his company during the war
witli Spain. The prisoner will be held
to await the result of Pulvcrt's in
juries. .
