Palmer Unless an unfavorable reaction to the charity board movement to er as superintendent and matron of Ithe town home ls heard before Thursday evening, the board will proceed with the appointment, it was indicated at a speclal meeting of the board last night at which several applicants for the appoint- ments were interviewed, Chairman Frank E. Riley in- formed the members that Mayor A. M. Paonessa does not oppose the | Paimer appolntment, but feels that a more harmonious feeling would come through naming some other |candidates, From his discussion with the mayor, the chairman said he was convinced that the executive has faith in his commissioners and does not wish to tle their hands, | and that, should the commission de- | clde the Palmers were the best fit- ted candidates the decision would he" agreeable to the mayor. | Candidates who appeared before the commission last night were: A. Eckert of 175 Jerome street, who with Mrs. Eckert, has applied for the position and set forth their ex- perience in practical farming and stock raising as thelr qualifications. Eckert is 26 years of age, and his wife is 19 years old. Mr. and Mrs. John L. Magee, now connected with the Rogers farm in Southington; Mr. and Mrs. Templeton of 47 Wal- nut street, and Mr, and Mrs. Palm- er. Mr. and Mrs. John Welch of Inot appear at the meeting. After the candidates had been questioned by the commissioners, | Chairman Riley remarked that the commission had gone into the question of a superintendent matron thoroughly, in his opinion, |and asked what action was desired. Commissioner James A. Coyle moved for the appointment of the Palmers. He remarked that it was his privilege to submit the nomina- tion at the last meeting and after a week's Investigation of the candl- dates, he felt justified in again urg- ing their appointment.

KEEPS HIS SECRET But Phila Man, Missing 25 Years And Now Restored To Family, Says He Is Happy. | Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 17.—Why 'Henry 1, Koenemann, 67, formerly a ishoe facturer, left his home in Philadefphia 25 years ago, changed his namk to Henry C. Schwenk, and came to Memphis, leaving no clues, |still remains a secret. The aged man was happy last night. He smiled as he heard the cherry greeting of his two sons as they bent over his bed at a hospital. Henry C. Koenemann, Jr., associ- ated with a Philadelphia cotton firm, and Joseph G.

Daly left no will, although he is known to have prepared two, both of which evidently were destroyed. understanding as to who is to be| appointed. It would be pleasing to| me if we could be unanimous in our deciston. We have practically a full {board here tonight. Mr. Klingherg told me he couldn’t come tonight, | hut he said either the Magees or the | Palmers would be satisfactory to him. He was a member of the| |board in 1918 when the Palmers were asked to resign. I asked him | |at the last meeting if he ever heard | |the reason why they were asked to | quit, and he sald he never heard | |anything against their character or ility. | y. | “At the same time, we should eon- | |sider the mayor. He is the chief ex- | ecutive of the city and must answer |to the people. We are here to assist {him. Tor that reason, I feel we | should not make an appointment un- | | til we talk it over with him.” | Commissioner Coyle said an inves- ‘tlz:xtmn of reports concerning the | Palmers had proved every story to | be untrue. The commissloner want- ed the appointment made to vindi- | cate the former superintendent and | matron, and to end talk. | Naming the Palmers now might | cause more talk, Commissioner Mes- | kil felt, and while he expressed | | himself as convinced that they are ‘ fine pecple,” he could see no | | harm 1n a continuance. | Commissioner Coyle feared the { public might suspect politics in the continued delay in naming the town | farm officials. He felt the city was amply protected against misman- | agement by terms of the contract under which the matron and super- | intendent work | er 8. Gerard Casale spoke in favor of laying the matter | | over, believing such action would be in the spirit of wisdom. | Commissioner Boleslaw Mysille- |wicz did not oppose a continuance provided action was to be taken this | week. He favors appointment of the Palmers at the present time, Commissiongr Riley said his only | interest was in securing someone | fitted for the important positions, 8o | he inmates might be treated with | courtesy and respect, and be assured | of proper food and treatment, with- |out work too hard for their physical | condition. He praised the work of | the Palmers here.and their qualifica- | [ tions | | On motion of Commissioner Casale | it was voted to adjourn the meeting | {until 7 o'clock Thursday evening, | after Commissioner Coyle agreed to | withdraw his motfon for the ap- | pointment of Mr. and Mrs. Palmer. i | com PODESTA—COLTURY | Anthony Podesta of Main street and Miss Mary Helen Coltury of 123 Forest street were married at 8t.

Watch Tomorrow’s MASS MEETING OF EVENING SCHOOLS Broad Program to Be Carried Out Next Month James E. O'Brien, director of the evening schools, has called a meet- ing of the evening school principals tonight to discuss plans for a mass meeting of all evening school stu- dents, which will probably be held in the Central Junior High school auditorium the latter part of March./ One of the features of this meet- ing will be the singing by the stu- dents of the schools. Rehearsals will be held prior to the time of the meeting so that the students will be famillar with the songs and will be able to sing them without coples. At this meeting, too, certificates of accomplishments, or cards, showing the grades completed by the stu- dents, will be presented. Plans are also being made to bave some prom- fnent speaker address the meeting. The purpose of this meeting 18 to encourage the students to attend the sessions of the school, to provide a change in the regular program of the evening schools and thus pre- sent a new phase of Americaniza- tion’ education. Classes in Citizenship Americanization Director O'Brien Father | is conducting classes in citizenship | at the Central Junior High school | on Friday evenings. The first ses- sion was held last Friday evening | with an attendance of 41. Members | of this class will appear before the | United States Naturalization Court, which will be heid Saturday after- noon, March 7, at 2 o'clock in the common council chamber in City Hall. The evening schools will be in session Thursday evening of this week, in addition to the three regu- lar sessions. Next week sessions will be held only on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as on Monday ‘Washington’s birthday is celebrated and Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. The following week, and as many weeks as is necessary four sessions will be held to make up for lost time. Some time ago one session was missed because of a severe snow storm and next week two more ses- sions will be missed. This making for lost time is made neccssary by the rule of the state board of edu- cation that 75 sessions must be held in order to receive the state eve- ning school budget allowance. Graduation of Continuation Classes The graduation of the continua- tion classes of the Central eve- ning school will be held in the Cen- tral Junifor High school auditorium on Thursday evening, April 2. The members of this class are those who were forced to leave the Junior High school before gradua- tion and by attendance at these ses- sions were able to make up the most important subjects which were lost by thelr leaving school early. On April 3 the reception of the graduates and the evening school etachers will be held in the Central Junior High school auditorium. United Parents and Teachers Meet A meeting of the United Parents and Teachers' assoclation will be held in the Central Junior High school auditorium on Tuesday eve- ning, March 3. At this meeting a plan similar to the “Erie Plan,” for afternoon classes for foreign-born women, will be presented. At the present time it is found Night’s Paper and Then GO that many forelgn born ‘women are unable to attend the sessions of the evennig school because of thelr families. According to this pro- grayn afternoon soclal gatherings will be held in the various schools. Foreign born women, who are not familar with the English language and who are unable to attend the sessions of evening schools, will be invited. Their children who are not old enough to attend the public schools will be taken care of by either school officl or 'some per- son who will be secured for the. work, These soclals will be in charge of women whose services are voluntary. Programs wifl be presented, tea will be served and at the same time those in charge will endeavor to get the foreign born women interested in the American- ization work ultimately bringing them to evening school.
