'Peek, gave pleasing selections with no evi dence of nervousness or self-consciousness. A tiny girl, Norma Johns, ot Taylor, played a bright little number by Bohm, with a promise of such tech nique that no listener could fall to be surprised. Miss Mary Flower, of Gouldsboio, made a striking Impression with her excellent work, as did also Misses Ida Gessner, Grace Gerlock, Emma Bono and Marlon Hutchinson.

How It all came about Is difficult to see, but the Men's union agents aver that It will all be disclosed In good time. Jurors who were asked to explain made this remark: "Let them begin at the speak-easles." Attorney F. E. Beers, one of the legal representatives of the union, said: "Jury packing did It, and we will show It up In due time. They will find that It Is cheaper to sell on Sundays than to meddle with juries." Robert Wilson, chief agent of the Men's union, pays: "In the cases Ig nored the evidence In evorylnstance was as strong, nnd in most Instances stronger, than In those In which true bills were returned." Said E. B, Sturges, tho pi line mover In the crusade: "It will be an expen sive Ignoramus for those who got out of it by tho means employed. It Is the worst thing that could have hap pened them. Those agAlnst whom true blls were-returned will find them selves better off In the end." Mr. Sturges says an exception Is made In the case of Phil Coyne. His arrest was due to mistaken Identltj'. There was no evidence against him, Mr. Sturges said. A warrant was yesterday Issued by Alderman Howe, nt the Instance of Robert Wilson, agent "for the Men's union of Green Ridge; for the arrest of Michael O'Connor and John Walsh, of tho firm- of O'Connor & Walsh, of 218 Lackawanna avenuo.

They were arrested by Detective John Moir and Mounted Oillcer Ulock, en a warrant Jssued by Alderman John T. Howe. In the hoti.su wcie found drcrs goods amounting to about $100 In value, tho majority of which were recognized and identified by Floor "Walker McConncll, ot the Globa store. For some time pa3t articles have been missed from tho Globe store and Mrs. Vlsoloy, who has been frequently Been about the place, has been suspected. Yesterday afternoon Mr. McConnell notiilcd Chief Robllng and asked that the matter be probed Into. One of tho facts that led to her being suspected was that she was seen wearing a lace collarette with an odd beading on It, which had bflen missed from the store. On Chief Hobllng's being notified, a search warrant was sworn out before Aldeiman John Howe, and aimed with this Detective Moir and Officer Block visited the house. They were admit ted by Girivlus, and from him re ceived the keys to the various closets and rooms, alt of which were locked. The house was then fccarched nnd was found to bo literally filled with stolen goods. Mrs. Visoley came home a short whllo later and was arrested. She had on her person at the time tho collarette In question and carried a piece of silk goods and a pair of gen tleman's t.ocks, which latter articles came from Goldsmith's bazaar. She and her father were taken to the police station, and Patrolman Hockcnberry was left at the house to keep watch. On going through It ho found that an old woman had o"en crouching In the cellar.

He Received Fifteen Votes and Five Were Cast for His Opponent, Will iam Morgan Board Decided to Cut Oft Compensation of tho City ControllerTwenty-First Ward Wants a New School Vote of Thanks for D. J. Reedy, the Solicitor of the Board. John Henry Phillips was last night elected school controller from tho Fifth ward to succeed his brother, tho late D. I. Phillips. The election was by tho members of the board of control. Mr. Phillips secured fifteen votes while his opponent, William Morgan, had only live. Mr. Phillips' name was presented by Mr. Evans, who suld that his election would be fitting and complimentary to the memory of his deceased broth er. Mr. Morgans' name was not put up for nomination. Tho vote was as follows: Phillips Shires, Francois, ridden, Itorlii, May, Schaetcr, Neuls, Walsh, Jajne, Jennings, Kvans, Schriefer, Sehwass, filbbons, Leonard 1.1. Morgan II. J. O'Malley, L'jnon, Dr. O'Malley, Barker, Langan S. Mr. Kvans was appointed to escort Mr. Phillips to his seat, which he did. Dr. O'Malley then made a. brief eulo gistic speech on the late D. I. Phillip!" and complimented Mr. Phillips upon his election. Mr. Phillips responded and In a few words thanked the mem bers for the honor and said that he would endeavor to act as had his brother. His voice was so choked with emotion that It was with difficulty that he could speak. WANT A NEW SCHOOL. A deal of discussion and amuse ment was afforded by tho events Imme diately following the Introduction of a petition from certain citizens of the Twenty-first ward residing on tho Dia mond Flats. Tho petitioners urged that the board erect a new school on the Diamond Flats to take the place of the present one. which was referred to as being "a menace to the health ot the scholars attending It." A motion wns made to refer the mat ter to the building committee, whereat Mr. Leonard arose and expressed tho hope that the committee would make a report on It. ns tho erection of a school of even small cost wns of the most urgent necessity. Ho pointed out that last fall a number of permits had to bo granted certain children allow ing them to attend another school. The motion to refer to committee was car ried and tho committee was icquested by the chairman to report at the next meeting. President Jaync thought that there should bo some official action taken by the board regarding tho city con troller's compensation, Inasmuch as the supremo court has just decided that ho must work without compensa tion. After a deal of argument nnd speech-making, Dr. O'Malley, speak ing in favor of continuing the com pensation, Mr. Barker moved that It bo the understanding of the board that the compensation ceased on the day the supreme court's decision was hanJ eel down. This was adopted. The building committee made the fol lowing recommendations: That here after all applicants for the position of Janitor In buildings where there Is s"team heat or power used, pass u satis factory examination before tho board's engineer; that tho boiler In No. S3 school be removed to No. 13 school, and that an engine, whose cost Is not to exceed $300, bo purchased for use In tho latter school; that the secretary of the board advertise for sealed proposals for 1,000 single school desks. WORK PROGRESSING SLOWLY. All of these recommendations were adopted, and then Mr. Roche spoke of tho fact that all of tho school build ings now In course of erection are pro gressing very slowly and that tho con tractors cannot be urged to hasten trie work. A motion wns passed directing the contractors to appear at tho next First Showing Of the Men's Straw Hats,.,,. Today the Men's Knox Straw Hats get first showing here. Everybody knows what a Knox Hat is, but this year you can I raise your expec tations to the highest notch we will not disap point you. "On the Square." 203 Washington Avenue. 8 ft C. F.

Another important matter discussed was the largo number of truants seen Upon the streets. Mr. Gibbons brought this up after the report ot Attendance OfTlccr Joyce had been read. He said that any day there might be seen large numbers ot children, between the agea of seven nnd eleven, romping on the streets. He thought that two or three more attendance olllcers should be en gaged to assist Mr. Joyce. Mr. Jaync remarked that It Is n physical Impossi bility for one man to do tho woik. The matter wns finally referred to the tcttchers' committee with Instructions to report on It nt tho next meeting. After the board hnd argued about tho controller's compensation, Dr. O'Malley moved that Attorney Reedy be ten dered a voti ot thanks for his success ful efforts In thr- school uoarel case. Mr. Roche vigorously opposed this, saying thnt ho didn't believe In throwing com pliments nt nn ofllclnl who wns paid for everything he had clone. Tho mo tion of Dr. O'Malley was passed, how ever. The board granted permission to tho Grand Army of the Republic to arranga for a penny collection In all of tho schools for Memorial day purposes. Chairman E.vnon, of the finance com mittee, presented a bond resolution pro viding for tho Issuance ot tho $100,000 worth of bonds recently passed by the board. The resolution provides that tho $100, 000 worth of bonds shall be dated June 1, 1900, nnd that 100 shall be Issued, each of tho value of $1,000. These nro to mature as follows: Nos. 1 to 30.
