The greater partof the- evening was devoted to the arge accusing Macleod of selling the prop- orty of the board without proper authority. Iirst, however, the defense took the floor on the charge of making repairs to sehool build- ings without authority. Mr. Macteou explained his action by say- ing that ne did not remember being present at the meeting of the committee at which the resolution was passed. 1f he had ever ved any notice of it afterwards he had lost it The specification under which Macleod is charged with_selling school property was read, and Mr. Macleod was asked in regard to the old iron at Izard school, and admitted that he had sold it. He claimed, hawever, that he had immediately turned in the money to the secretary of the school board, He had forgotien whom he had sold it toand also how much of it there was. Ho also said that Morris Morrison had told him to sell the iron, and he had acted under s orders. Explaing that Stove Deat. Ho was asiked if he had taken away a stove from the Juckson street supply house, and admitted that he had. He had sold it to his sister for &, which he considered more than it was worth. He had no particular authority to sell the stove, bug thought that Mr. Morrison's instructions in regard to the old iron was sufficient to cover this also. He denied that he had ever sold any old desks. in regard to the loads of limestone that had been hauled away from the Jackson street supply house and the Cass streot school and which are not accouuted for, the witness said he kunew nothing about the tter, but supposed some one might have ed it nway for rubbish, Whea he was asked the meaning of a charge of £ for hauiing stone from the Cass street school Yo Vinton the witness tried to muke the committee believe that the word Vinton was intended for “dump,” but after they had spelled it out, all arvound it was decided that the com- mittee® couldn't possibly see through Macleod’s spectacles. It was plain “Vinton" and after a while the witness suddeuly re- membered that some stone had been hauled to Vinton street, but he had forgotten the circumstances. He admitted that the bill was pretty high for hauling one load, but presumed that the teamster had done some other work the same day that was not men- tioned in the bill. Secretary Gillan was called to the stand and vead the mmutes of the meeting of August 14, at which Macleoa said a resolu- tion had been passed authorizing him to dis- pose of the old iron in the possession of the board. The records showed tha d lution had been introduced buv failed to puss. " Morrison Denles Having Given Ocders, The next witness was Morris Morrison, who emphatically denied that he haa ever told Macleod to sell either old iron or stone. Macleod had on one occasion complained to hun that the old iron at the Izard school was a nuisance and ought to be sold, but he had never given him any instructions to sell it Kdward Schoonover, custodian at the st ply house, testified to the fact of the re- moval of the stove from that repository. - A few days after he had called Macleod up by telephone and asked him if he had notbetter send. him an order for the stove he haa taken awa, Macleod replied thathe would do so, but the order never appeared. The stove was of the Round Oak pattern angd was but slightly burned out. He noticed the next morning that the lock on the door looked as if it had been removed by some one. The witness also said thuat about. six loads of stoue had been hauled away from the supply house some time in August. ilo had understood at the time that the stone s taken for the use of Mr. Kunodell. Pre- vious to that time he had receivea several offers for the stone, but Macleod had said had no authority to sell it. ‘Lhen a named orge Burr had hauled the stone away, saying he was tiking it for Knodell More About the Stove. G. M. Jester was working at the supply house on the Saturday before election, when the stove was taken away. He said that Robert Macleod, the superintendent's brother, came down about 2 o'clock in the afternoon und said he wanted one of the stoves. [Ile picked outa stove, two lengths of pipe and an elbow and told the witness to leave the keys so he could come and get the stove after “quiting time.”” The witness r fused and Macleod then asked him to leave the lock unsprung. ‘This he consented todo, and Macleod told him to s nothing about the matter to any one el This aroused tho suspicions of the witness and he told the custodian, Mr. Schoonover, of the conversa- tion. ‘That was all he knew of it until the next Thursday when he was told that the SLove was gou W. C. Lawtor the Tzard street school, told a very similar story of a stove that mysteriously disappeared from toe lzard street supply house. Utt Tells How it Was, Poter UL, a carpenter, was employed last summer at the 1zavd school. He remembered that a hard coal burner had heen taken from the Izard supply house. Macieod had wold him to leave the key, as he might want to get into the supply house after quitting time to get something. He told him that Mvr. Lawton had the key, so Macleod went to see Lawton, The next morning the stove was gone. Janitor Hen O'Neill quantity of stone had from the school, where it was taken. T'his ended the testimony. for the board, and Robert Macieod was culled by the de- fense. Ile stated that he was a brother to Superintendent Macleod, and that the latter had sold him the stove at the supply depot, When he asked him the price of it he told him to take 1t and he would make it all right. e admitted having asked Jester to ve the keys for him, and that when he re- 2 he took out the serews and remoyed the lock to get at the stove. He loaded the stove into an express wagon and took 1t away. All this, he claimed, was done with- out the kunowledge or consent of his brother. MeDowen Lells the Same Story, Gieorge MeDowell, who was with Macleod when he got the stove, testitied to substan- “tially the same facts in regard to the re- moval of the Churles Conn, testified that a been hauled away but did not know Macteod’s foreman of ve- pairs, testified that the stone from Cass the street school was hauled for use av the Dodge aud Vinton schools D, D. Krooh, a laborer, was working at the Izarda school at the time the stove was taken, but was densely ignorant as to the method of its departure M. Macleod accepted au opportnnity to explain himself. Ho said that he did not know tuat his brother had taken the stove from the Juckson street supply house uatil u week aftor. He told him, however, to o and get o stove if he could find one that suited him ’ estigation will be resumed this P KILLED ONE OF 1HE ROBBERS, Chicago Grocer Firos at the Men Who ¥ tered His Btore.

To this W. R. Homan replied at some length, asserting that the proposition was in the' interest of certificate holders. . Ho had had something to do with circulating the petition and knew what was desired, As 10 tho legality of such a sclieme he had consulted two good attorneys and one of the district judges. and all had pro- nounced it legal. It was alleged by the speaker that only thirty or forty of tho board members, ‘us that body is at present constituted, wers receiving any benefit-from their membership and that these had av- sorbed all the revenues. To this allegation the chair oxcepted and requested the speaker t bring io sovecific charges if he thought he could bring any proof. Quits a discussion arose and Mr. Homan finally modified his stutement somew hat. L. D. Fowler ana J. A. Connor also spoke, the former in favor and the latter against the proposition. When a voce finally was taken cight members cast their votes 1n the negative and one in the afirmatiue, thus de- feating the pronosition. —-——— Movements of Ocoan Steamers, Decgmber 11, At Southampton—Arrived—Saale, from New Yor! 4 At New York—Arrived—Amsterdam, from Rotterdam; Persian Monarch, from London.

HAVE SET A VERY HOT PACE Ives and Slosson Open the Billiard Match at a Terrific 8peed, YOUNG NAPOLEON'S AVERAGE 15 FIFTY Student George Plays a Groat Game, but s Jast a Triflo Slow for the Young Mun from the Wild West. New Youk, Doc, 11.<The big three cor nered billiard gamo between Jacob Schaeffor, George Slosson and Frank Ives for a stako of $1.000 and a one-two-three division of the gate receipts, was auspiciously begun in the concert hall of Madison Square gavden tonight. The hall was crowded with ‘an enthusiastio audience Prompily at 8§ o'clock Slosson appeared. Maurice Daly “Budd" Schofield had nd Tves announced that been chosen markor and Willlam Sexton reforee. Slosson won the bank and selected the white ball. He was noticeably nervous at the outsot and was in apparent lack of confidence in the open table play in which he launched out on. He missed an oasy cross-table shot, after scoring ten. Tves was considerably more at ease than is his wont when ho took up his cue and began open play with great rapidity. Ho got tho balls in the corner of the table in the third shot and in a very little more than a minute had rolled off twenty-four by careful nurs- ing. Then the balls becamo scattored and he ran twenty, mostly in open-table play, failing on an easy carom, Slosson Recovered His Norve. The balls were left very comfortably for Slosson, and he proceeded to pile them up. His sixteenth snot was a difficult masse, which caused considerable applause, and his twenty-seventh was a long draw. He nursed the balls along the lower end of the rail and kept them together with great daintimess, There was applanse when he passed the fifty mark. Slosson, who had entirely controlled his nervousness by this time, continued out-and-in playing, and 1. his string up to seventy-five. The sovent seventh was an open | He feil down on an easy carom on the eighty-seventh shot, Ives in his third shot got the ivories under perfect control in the upper left-hand cor ner. Ho carried them ulong the rails for fourteen more and held them on the lower rail, woing from right to left and from left to right until he called up sixty-two. His sixty-third shot was a long carom and s six ourth an enormously difficult masse. In the sixty.sixth he bunched the balls to- gether in the lower left corner and added fourtoen more to his string without pe ceptible movement of the balls, _He was playing beautiful billiards and there was a spontaneous cheor from his “‘rooters” when he passed the 100 mavk. He failed at a com- paratively simplo draw at 117. From this time up to the end of the tenth round no remarkable runs were made, the score standing: Ives, 391; Slosson, 330, Two Big Runs. Slosson opened the eleventh inning with a | beautifully executed blank and there was i look of positive tranquility on Lves' coun- tenance as he made three open table points and captured the anchor nurse on the upper right-hand rail and reeled oft tabs by tho score. He was warming up to remarkablo work and he seemed to volunturily abandon his good position for the purpose of showing what fine work he could do around the tablo and at open nursing, Ho seomed able to get the balls at any rail he chose at will. e missed the 142d shot when the score was: Ives, 532; Slosson, 335, Slosson was in’ his usual condition of mind when he started the thir- toenth {nning, and thers Was a great doal of applause over his skilltul rail playing. In fact there was more enthu m ever this in- ning than over any of the others. Slosson did everything he vossibly could on & bil- liard table, and secmed to be playing an ex- bibition game. But he rolled up 162, in which theve were many beautiful shots, but failed to got beyond tue balk on the 16ith, Ives Runs it Out Tves was looking.very fidgety while Slos- son was getting in his fine work. He got up with u determined look, which the plays he immediately oxecuted did not belie. Ho fairly surpassed himself and his admirers grew wildly hilarious, whilo it was seen that in all iiklihood he would run out. The young man gave a marvelous exhibition of open table nursing ana_scomed to be per- fectly indifferent whether he gained tho rail ornot. He made sixty-cight and fivished his siring.

This account comes from an autnoritative source among the friends of Mrs, Nicolaus According to her friends Mrs. Nicolaus obtained the check originally from Howard Gould when the latter was in Chicago at- tending the World's fair. As the story is told, the #0000 check materialized in a settloment of n part of Jay Gould's ostate just before Howard Gould started for Chicago. His share in this particular division of & portion of his father's estate was #40,000, and to make the account on the books appear all right, Georgee Gould, as executor, made out a check for this amount to Howard and gave it to_him to de posit.

Tho latter told Zella that he would set the matte right at once, and went to his brother to kuow what right he had to wterfere with the check Thore was a stormy interview between the brothers, George declaring #0,000 w 100 much money to pay to any woman and expressing his determination o never pay any such demand. Howard refused to sevor his acquaintance with Mrs, Nicolaus and returned to her and reported the result of his talk with George. Then it was that Zella saw George Gould herself and threatened to bring suit for the payment of the check unless the amount it called for was at once handed ove George sought the aid of Superintendent Byrues and tho latter sent for Mrs, Nicolaus, Itis said that when she called on Byrnes and he threatened to exposo her past if she annoved the Goulds, sho calmly informed Byrnos that no matter what her past might have — beon, or. what position sho might now be in, the #0,000 had been paid to her by Howard Gould and it was as much hers s though the amount lad been pi cash.
