A SESSION GIVEN UP LARGELY TO THE MARY HALL BUILDING CONTROVERSY—THR BOARD DECLINES TO RZCONSIDRE ITS ACTION—PEINCIPAL BROWN REIN- STATRD—CHANGES, APPOINTMENTS, BTC. When the school board met last evening the various papers relating to the Miller school bulld- ing, and the proposition to rent the bullding cor- ner of 43 street and Maryland avenue southwest, Which have gone to the District Commissioners were presented to the board. These included the protest sent by the commaittee appointed at a meet- ing of colored citizens at Israel C.M. E church, against using the so-called “Mary Mall” building a8 school for colored children. Mr. Fish moved that the papers be referred to the committee on industrial education and drawing. Dr. Francisob. Jected to such a disposal of the matter. One-third of the school year, he said, was gone already, and af the board referred these matters to a committee it Would be next June before anything would be done for influstrial education in the seventa and eighth division. He moved the reference of the matter to the trustee of the eighth divist Supervising principal, and the superini With power to act after conference with the Com- masioners. After some discussion the mater was deterred at Mr. Fish’s suggestion until later when Mr. Fish thought Mr. Curus, chairman of the com- infitee on Industrial education, would be present. PRINCIPAL BROWN REINSTATED. A letter addressed by Mr. James E. Harris to the District Commissioners, benalt of Mr. Elis W. Brown, who at the last meet” the board was indefinitely suspenaed place as principal of the Sumner read. Tus letter testified to Mr. character. A letter was also read from Jas. H. Smith to the District Commissioners, and protested because Mr. Brown at that tme, though suspended, still Tethained in the schools” The letter went on to Of the scandalous story connected with the in the Sumner bailding; Dut at this point MMF. Darlington interrupted the reading. ‘I don’t object,” he said, “to the reading of any letter so far aaYt refers to concealed weapons, as that was ‘the only matter on which the bourd took action.” said he nad a long petition in Mr. Brown's by jeachers im the echooia, Dr. & number of papers Rating to the subject. It was Mually deciied to refer the papers to the trustee of the division, Dr. Cornish remarked that there were elreumstances connected with ‘There was not a member of the said, Who, under similar circumstances, have acted the same. If told that two three men were following him, and with intent take his life, he would certainly prepare himself to defend himseit. Dr. Francis having considered the matter sented a letter prom the supervising principal re- commending the reinstatement of Mr. Brow, and also @ petition numerousiy signed ‘to the Same effect. Dr. Francis said that as trustee of that di- viston he Was prepared to recommend a reinstate ment, ‘The secretary presented also a petition from thir- ty-four pupils of Sir. Brown's school asking his re- ingtatement. ‘Dr. Francis therefore moved that Mr. Brown be reinstated. Mr, Darlington said he did not believe Mr. Brown was fully responsibie for his act. He was evidently very much (rigutened and nervous. ‘Dr. Francis’ mouon to reinstate Mr. Brown was Mr. Darlington made a motion, which was car. ried, that the supervising principals be Instructed toenforce the rule prohibiting contributions for presents to teachers, Dr. Francis called attention to the fact that next Saturday Would be the eightleth birthday of Whit. Uer, the poet, He spoke of Whittier as a strong advocate of ifberty and the enemy of oppgpssion. He thought It was fitting that next Frida¥ afver. noon De set apart in theschools for appropriate ‘exercises in honor of the poet, and made a motion to that effect, ‘Tue motion was amended 80 a8 to ‘apply omiy to the colored schools, and Was in that form carried, THE MILLER AND THE “MARY HALL” BUILDINGS. Mr. Curtis not having come in, Dr. Francis’ mo- tion in reference to the papers relating to the ‘Miller butlding and the 434 street building, was taken up without him. Dr. Francis said the needs of the elghth division were most. im the northera part of the division. ‘The Miller building, he said, was io much better sanitary condition than many of the school buildings now in use. He spoke of the ¢ifticulty of securing a building in the desired locality for the use of the public, and especially Jor the colored schoola. He urged bis motion to refer the matter to the local trustee, superinten- dent and supervising principal. ‘Mr. Fish Was opposed to delegating the powers belonging to the bourd or acommittee of the Doard to any trustee, All the talk about the sur- roundings of the 43 street bullding he paid no attention to, He suggested that the question be postponed. He argued that the location of the manual tratning school was a part of the duty of ‘the comuittee on industrial tion. Dr. Francis changed his motion so as to provide ‘hat the matter of selecting a bullding to meet the needed requirements of the eighth division be re- ferred to the trustee of that division. Mr. Darlington Said he would, not vote against renting the Miller building, if the price asked for it Was reasonabie. Prof. Gregory said the petition against rent the Miller Lullding was, he knew very weil, based On race prejudice. When It was proposed to rent the P-street building the owner suid he would have to charge more for it because it was to be ‘eccupted by a colored school. Mr. Cornish was opposed to sending children to the 4-street bullding. As an instance of the de- wrading intluence of the surroundings, he said a ‘Woman Who Was placed in charge there’ someume ago bad a respectable daughter. ‘The influence of the surroundings had been such as to corrupt her. Mc. Cornish preseated a petition from tue com- mittgo appotnied at the Jerael chureh meeting re- questing reconsideration of the action of the board selecting that building. Dr. Francis” motion Was adopted, and he imme- diately odtered another, that the cousmittee on in- dustrial education be discharged from further con- sideration of the matter of renting a building tor au Industrial school, ‘This was voted down, and Mr. Cornish moved {that the industrial school be loc.ited tu the Miller Duilding. This was voted down, Messrs. Gregory and Cornish only voting tu the aifirmative. Mr. Koss, in explaining his yote, sald he was in favor of the use Of the $y street "building. ‘The ‘Miner fund had been invesied there tor the benent ‘of the colored people. It was in the interest of the colored people that that neighborhood should be rewrmed, He did not believe tt would hurt any boy to go there with saw and hammer to work, and. as ke Understood it, that Was ali that was Intended. Prof. Gregory asked What would become of the Proposed cooking school Mr. Fish said they would not have a cooking schoo! In that division, “What becomes of the $650 promised for a cook- Ang school?” asked Mr. Coruisii. “It seems to me,” Said ir. Fish, “you ask a Many questions not peruinent to the matter before the board.” So the board adjourned, and Mr. Cornish did not get an answer to his question. A delegation of colored citizens Interested in tue location of the Industrial scuool Was present during the evening and Ustened to the debate.

John 8 Kirchner, of the International | Cigar-makers, said the Washington delegates rev- Tesented nothing that was favorable to trades- | union prineipies, He then asked what was tne | complexion of the Washington body. Mr. Oyster said: “Its complexion is black and white, and represents nineteen assemblies of the Knights of Labor, nine of which are builiing trades. It represents three trades unions—the Typographical, Bricklayers, and Carpenters, Sar Kirchner sald the Washington Federation's motives, as well as the delegates, were insincere, He was rapped down for personality, but con- tUnued, say! ng. the Knightsin the Washi body owed allegiance to the Knights ot Labor, and could not loyal to the eration. The Federation also had a boay tributary, composed of carpenters who were expelled from’ the Brouher- hood of Carpenters. ‘The discussion was foagns upon the question of the carpenters’ union, and several delegates spoke for thetr atuntssion. Secretary McGuire said that notwithstanding the deiection of the Brotherhood of ners in Washington and other maiters, if Mr. oyster could bespeak the loyalty of the Washington body to the Federation, he would vote for thew. After several others had spoken, some favoring and others 0] ing, Mr. McGuire sald the more he ‘thought Of the matter the more he became coa- vinced that the Washin Federation should be excluded.

It’s a question If they could prove their loyaity to us. And as to ale legiance, I'd like to know if District 66 does not control the Washington body. I don’t believe in fighting the Knights of Labor, but when they touch us we would be poor men indeed If we did not defend ourseives.” He also alluded to the “machine on Broad street.” This carried the con- vention, andthe Washingtontans were ruled oul. ‘Among those admitted were representatives of the Philadelphia Central Labor Union, Inter- national Hoatmen’s Union of New York, Jou: ne men Shoemakers’ Protective Union of New York, Central Labor Union of St. Louts, Ohio Miners’ Amalgamated Assoctation, New York Federation, International Furuiture Workers’ Union, German- American Typographical Uniou, Bakers’ Union, Waiters’ Union, Cigarmakers’ Union and Journey- man Bakers’ Union, all of New York; Typographi- cal Union of ladianapolis, Amaigamated Iron aad ‘Steel Workers’ Associition of PeansyiVanta, Glass- workers’ Ualon of Pittsburg, aod many other |. organizations.
