EVILS THAT WILL BE REMOVED FACTIONS OF DIRECTORS FIGHT FOR CONTROL. Members of the Minority Seeking to Inform Themselves on the Finan- cial Condition of the Department. The far-reaching effect of the impend- ing classification of teachers out of the School Department is beginning to be un- derstood. It was at first thought that the proposed reformation of the new School Board would concern only the newly elected teachers. This is not the fact, however, all teachers in the depart- ment, irrespective of their time of serv- ice or their efficiency, are subject to the new rule of the board, and may be dropped from the rolls under the condi- tions that were fixed last Wednesday night. The clas ion is not to be upon a basis of merit but upon the attendance in each class of each school. the orders of the board, teacher appointed to a school the last must go | where the attendance is not up to the | established standard. This means that many of the teachers appointed by the | last board will go, but many will remain, as they have been located in schools where the attendance of children meets with all of the requirements demanded by the Directors. On the other hand, there are many schools in which the teachers have taught for years. These schools are below the established standard, and can- not be raised to it. The teachers, there- fore, must go. This problem has created a great deal of uneasiness in the departinent, and some of the older teache; are fhreatening to institute legal Kroce(‘\]in;{s to_prevent the board from taking action. It is not be- lieved, however, that any proceedings, le- gal or otherwise, will interrupt the plan of the board. The board is determined above everything else to remove such evils as are presented for example in the Jack- son Primary School on Stanyan street. This school exists as an unwarranted ex- travagance created simply to provide a place and a principalship for a relative of of the old Directors. Under the of cl ification adopted last Wed. night this s : reduced to es. Under the plan sug; v Director Head it would be abolished and several hundred dollars a month would be saved. To_free the department from such evils as this school presents the Directors are sch fixed in their determination to proceed even if some of the older teachers may be injured in the proc After the consoli- | éation of the day and evening schools has been effected attention will then be directed toward the special de- partments, which present a verita- ble nest ‘of fraud.

This was done for a night or two until the In- vestigators were hoodwinked and then the old laxity would be resumed.

A CHANGE IN LOCATION. Koenig’s Removal to Larger Quarters Necessitated by Increasing Business. About February 1 Koenig's shoe store will remove from the present location, 122 Kearny street, to more ample quar- ters on the opposite side of the street, at 123 Kearny. In anticipation of this change of location Mr. Koenig, some six weeks ago, inaugurated a clearance sale that resulted in unusual popular The attractive windows of | his _store were loaded with bargains such as have never been equalel by any shoe sale in this city. The result almost instantaneous succe: and for weeks crowds thronged the entrance clamoring for admittance in an effort to obtain a standard make of shoe at the astonishing prices that were put upon them. While much of the stock was disposed of, yet considerable re- mains to select from at prices that are even lower than before. Mr. Koenig proposes to equip his new store with only new stock and is making genuine sacrifices and unusual inducements to accomplish this purpose. This house may justly be termed one of San Fran- cisco’s ploneer business enterprises, having been established for over thirty- five years and it carries a stock selected from the output of only the most repu- table manufacturers of this country and Europe. Mr. Koenig's new store { will be thoroughly modern, beautifully fitted and by its attractiveness of feat- ure and quality of goods will continue to expand the growing trade that has necessitated this change of location. * —————— Cashed a Bogus Warrant. M. Metzger, a broker, swore to a com- plaint in Judge Mogan's court yesterday for the arrest of George Wilkins, a clerk during the late election, for obtaining money by false pretenses. Wilkins rep- resented himself as L. Peterson and ob- tained a warrant on the treasury, which Metzger discounted, Peterson had a war. rant, which he cashed in ne regular way. —_—————— Sunnyside Has Modern Ideas. The officers of Sunnyside District Pro- gressive Improvement Club addressed a lengthy communication to the Supervisors yesterday. Many reasons were set forth Why the district should receive recogni- tion in the matters of sewers, light, fire protection and proper school facillties for the children of the district. —————— v us- rt ted the by SAVE YOUR HANDS 52540 Yok | S rlegic® the bonas sad e prieonce Ladfes’ tallor-made suits.

J. E. Gilligan Narrowly Escaped Lynching at the Hands of His Infuriated Victims. J. E.

Not only did his wife re- fuse to have anything to do with him, but it is d he learned that she had taken up with a young and handsomer man in the person of Walter Mise, a young steam-fitter, with whom she is said to be living at 1 Fifth street. Peart be- gan to drink heavily when he discovered how he had been duped, and threatened to kill both his ex-wife and Mise, but he probably changed his mind and concluded to kill himself instead. One of the letters found in his pocket was dated December 30, 1898, and is as follows: “Friend Lewis: I just received your let- ter to-day. Is George's birthday.

Mrs. Peart sold the Third-street house to the Barney months ago and went to live at 137 gomery street. Recently she removed to the lodging house at 1 Fifth street. She is said to have purchased the place a few days ago and introduced herself as the landlady to a caller as late as vesterday afternoon. When she learned that Peart had shot himself, however, she disap- peared from view, and to ail who asked to see her the information was imparted that Mrs. Peart was not the landlady but only a lodger; that she was very ill and could not be seen. Her substitute was determined to prevent her charge from being seen and threatened to eject several rather persistent reporters. The amazon did all the explaining she considered necessary. “What do you want to bother Mrs. Peart for?”’ "she demanded. *“Peart is nothing to her. They were divorced a year ago.
