P AND HIS HENCHMIEN HVE WOTHER CAME Substitutes to Be Put on Regular List. SN ENQUGH VOTES ARE CLAIMED Plan to Create Regular Teachers Abandoned, but by General Pro- motions Room Will Be Made for Many More. —— School Director Willlam A. Kemp has Al- though his latest schemes to that end have failed he has proved himself equal to the occasion and evolved another which, he confidently claims. will go through with seven votes at the next The plan of Kemp this time Is not to make new substitutes nor to increase the unassigned - llgt. On the contrary he ln-} tends, with the votes he claims, to make | each duly elected teacher of the twenty- five now on the substitute list regular ped- agogues 1n the department In this pian Conlon and Cole are with him and so also, he alleges, is Dr. Gedge, the contracting agent of the department. Armstrong is a doubtful quantity, but Kemp s figuring upon his vote and says if he does not get it there will be “some- | thing doing” In the way of charges that will make the Armstrong hair stand on | end. | Two meetings ago Kemp offered to the | el board a resolution doing away with sec- | tions 165 1o 169 of the rules. If his motion | had been adcpted it would have resulted in the unioading upon the department of two teachers each for every member of the solid seven. As it was fixed before that meeting there was nothing to threat- en the success of the job, but after the meeting was called to order President Bergerot, who had previously agreed Lo stand in, attempted to make a grand- stand play to the Mayor and his fellow- members by exposing the wholo‘smpm- tion and refusing to vote as he h; rom- ised. As a consequence Mr. emp's teachers were not appointed. Bergerot's play was a good one from a politician’s standpoint, but as president of the board he overlooked one important parliamentary point. He declared Kemp's resolution out of order when, In fact, it was n:suh.\rle’ introduced and entitled to regular consideration. At the last meet- ing Director Head called the motion up | in order to defeat it. Kemp demurred with the claim that the motion should not be again called up until he saw fit. Bergerot 8ot off wrong again by declaring the mio- tion out of order, notwithstarding that Head, not Kemp, the mover, had called it up, and as a consequence Kemp and his backers claim the resolution Is still aiive before the board. However, they will not Insist upon its consideration. Instead, at the next meot- ing, Kemp will ask permission to with- draw it and will offer instead a motion to make all of the teachers now on the sub- stitute list regular teachers In the de- i»u.nment at regular teachers’ salarios. {is motion will not meet with such di favor as 11d his original resolution for the reason that all of the substitutes now in the department are employed In filling the positions of regular teachers who are off on leaves of absence and in such capacily are rcally doing regular teachers’ work. Owing to the e"rudlml clean-up which Su- perintendent Webster has been making room in the department | for twenty-six new teachers, either regu. | lar or on the substitute list. It was Web. | ster's intention to hold the appointment of them cver until the charter should com into office, but Kemp and his | crowd got hold of the matter and are re. | solved to appoint the twenty-six them- selves if they can get the votes to do it, and it {s this game they will try to work through at the next meeting of the boar and they claim to have the votes. — Beautiful Christmas Presents.

POWERS HIS ACCUSER S Deserted by His Wife, He Goes Gunning for Her Parent and Lands in Jail. e Fred Mead, a young man who gives his occupation as that of a machinist, was arrested last night and charged with threatening to kill his wife and Mrs. Pow- ers, his mother-in-law. About a week ago Mrs. Mead left her husband on account of his 1ll treatment and returned to her mother’'s house at 428 Clementina street. Suspecting that his mother-in-law_ had inflienced his wife to leave him, Mead swore to be revenged. Last Tuesday he sent a note to his wife in which he said that he in the City Prison, charged with robbery, and asking her to visit him. Suspecting that the note was sent as a he young woman out of the Powers advised her daughter not t9 see him. She is firmly convinced Mead's object in trying to get an Interview with his wife was to get her v from the house and either kill her ompel her to return to him. Shortly after 9 o'clock last night Mead stood In front of his mother-in-law’shome, flourishing a revolver and threatening to murder the entire family. Mrs. Powers becoming alarmed_ bolted the door and otherwise prepared to resist the threat- attack of her son-in-law. While she s cogitating over the advisability of summoning the police, Mead made an on- slaught on the door, but failed to force it open. After roundly curslnf‘ the fright- ened inmates, Mead thrust his revolver through an aperture in the window, and pointing it at Mrs. Powers started to pull the trigger. With a wild scream of alarm Mrs. owers rushed to the rear and lustily shouted for helg Mead, evidently fearing arrest, hurriedly left the scene, after threatening to return and wipe out the entire family. As he walked down the street Mrs. Powers, accompanied by her two daughters, started after him, in- tending to turn him over to the first po- liceman they met. After following him for @ short distance they espied Officers Esola and Owens, to whom they appealed to arrest Mead. The latter, seeing that he could not escape, threw his revolver and a razor Into a vacant lot. The weap- ons were recovered by the officers and booked as evidence agalnst the irate son- in-law. Mrs. Powers says tha out a warrant agalns charging him with an deadly weapon. she will swear Mead to-day, assault’ with a Your sideboard at home Is incomplete 1¢ it 1s not stocked with Jesse Moore “AA" whiskey. ——— In the Divorce Court.

After being identified for thirty-five years with the commercial life of the State and establishing a name that was the envy of many business men the firm has been forced to the wall.
