TROUBLES OF A TEACHER
Miss Pitts Retires From the Central
llteh School.
A Difference of Opinion TVitli Frim
einnl Jlunlie.s the Cause Ques.-
.iou of Authority.
Miss Eva Maria Pitts, wlto has been
for twelve years a teacher in the Central
High School, has been dropped ironi the
oils i? a teacher for lefusing to obey
lie instructions of Mr. Percy. Ilughes,
Hie principal of the school.
Tne alleged act of refusing to follow
Instructions oivurred about a week ago,
and wis not made public until yesterday,
when the news of the affair caused quite
a sensation In pedagogic circles. Miss
Pitts called her pupils together last
vening in study hall No. 2 to take leave
of them on the closiug of the school year,
and in eo doing incidentally referred to
the affair ror the rirst time. She is
greatly esteemed by her pupils and when
her story was related the young ladies
composing her cla-s were deeply moved
with sympathy.
The incident which caused her dismissal
Is said to have been the result of a dif
ference of.cpinionovera matterof discipline
and forms rather an interesting story.
II. B. Farrow, a rourth-year scholar,
It Is stated, was refused permission by
Miss Pitts to leave the room on a small
matter last Wednesday. However, he
walked out of the room and was reported
by the teacher to the principal, with the
request that the disobedient pupil be mado
to como to the matinee, or else be ex
pelled from the school. The principal, Mr.
Hughes, thought that the punishment was
too severe, and said that he thought It
was not fair to make him lose four years
of hard study for a trivial breach of po
liteness. Hub Titts resented, it Is stated, what
the principal had to say, and lert The
etudy. She then wiotc to Mr. Hughes,
telling him that she would not enter
ier study again until her powers were
made clear to her. Mr Hughes ordered
her to take charge of her class, and she
refused. Another teacher was detailed to
fill her place, and the affair was re
ported to Dr. F. It. Lane
The high and normal schools committee
of the school board met at the Franklin
School on Thursday and considered Miss
PlttB' refusal to teach, when she had
been employed to do eo, as a resigna
tion, and accepted It at once. Her place
will be filled at the next meeting of
the board or school trustees, wlien a re
port of the occurrence will be made.

Is now giving the committee any concern
It is generally believed that it -will l

gathering evei assembled in Washington,
and. from the interest manifested on all

can be scared.
Under these circumstance a subcom
mittee has been appointed to secure the

the purpose. Other special committees
were appointed to arrange a program and

BURGLARS GOT NO BOOTY
Electric Alarm Frightens Cracks
men From the Swan Mansion.
Their Carefully 1-nid Thins to Joot
the Handsome Residence He-
truyed by Concealed Wires.
Professional thieved made an attempt to
lob .the handsome Swan mansion at No
1415 1 street northwest, last Monday
night, aud though they succeeded in
gaining an entrance to the residence,
were frightened away by the electiic
burglar alarm hemic they had an oppor
tunity to carry orf any valuables.
It was about 1 1 oVlock when the burglar
alarm nt the Electric Fire Alaim Com
pany's office, No 1428 F street, warned
the night operators and messengers that
somthi:ig was wrong at No. 1 41 5 1 street.
It was known that there was no vie occu
pying the residence during the s.immer,
and instantly feveral messenger boys were
dispatched to inform the police Police
men Barry and Glover ha-,ttly diove to the
place aud made an examination of the
premised Everything was round intact
until the entrance to tiie basement was
reached Here it was discovered that
the lock on the door hud been carefully
picked and the moment the door wan
opened the alarm had gone ofT. The
thieves were exjtert enough in their busi
ness to discover that the door was wired,
though the sound of the alarm was not to
be heard, and at once beat a hasty retreat.
The plot to 10b the mansion, however,
had been skillfully formed, and but for
the alarm the burglars would have been
able to have carried off thousands of
dollars' worth of booty. It had evi
dently lieen airauged to enter the mansion
at a time when the thieves knew that
tlu two officeiM oa the beat would neces
sarily be at the Lafayette Square Opera
House as the ciowds were coming out of
the theater. Then they would during the
next hour have gone through the roidence.
secured their plunder and escaped un
molested at midnight when the police were
makiag their shifts.
The policemen made a thoiough search
of the house, from c -liar to garret but were
unable to find any fuither trace of the
robbers, and as nothing had been dis
tuibed It was supposed that they had
taken a hastj departure. The occupants
of-thc house left several weeks ago for
Europe to spend the summer, but before
going the lesidiMicc was thoroughly wired,
so that the slightest molestation of uny of
the doors or windows, or even the heavy
Pieces of furniture on the inside would at
once sound the alarm.
The man'-ion stands on the corner of an
alley directly acloss fiom the Mexican
legation, and is onccof the largest and
handmu'St in the block. Its furnishings
are valued at upward of $."0,000. much or
which is ia valuable bric-a-brac and costly
va!ca, which could easily have been car
ried off The basement entrance is. hid
den beneath the broad stone steps, so
'that it would not be easy to see anyone
either going into or coming out of the
house.
A bout three years ago thesamc residence
was entered in much the same manner
while the o'.cupants were away, and three
mon were found by the jiolicu secreted In
a cloet on one of the upper floors. Then,
n in Mil's case, the burglar alarm gave the
warning.

NORMAL SCHOOL QUESTION
TJie Trustees Como to a Vote Upon
the Matter.
After Considerable Debute Decide
to Continue It in the Franklin
School Hulldiup;.
After a short but animated discussion
the board of public school trustees, at a
meeting held jesterday afternoon, decided
that the high and normal school for
teachers shall remain in the Franklin
School building.
The trustees present were: Chairman
Whelplcy, Mrs. Stowell, Drs Ha7en,Witmer,
and Sliadd, and Me.vsrs Barnard, Hurries,
Wilson, Cornish, and Senntor Bruce.
When the matter was reached jesterday
Mr. Wilson, chairman, submitted a report
recommending that tne Normal Training
School for teachers be located in the
Franklin building. Later, however, Mr.
Wilson stated Hint he hnd opposed the
proposition ia the committee meeting and
would be constrained to do so again wien
the matter came to a -vote before the
board of trustees.
Mr. Wilou explained his position by
stating he woi? finply convinced that the
Henry building wan .much lietter suited
for thcpurpuM that the Franklin building.
Major JlarrJes moved to amend the re
port of Chairman Wllfon by guhstltufng
the "Henry Xor the Franklin build'ng."
Mr. Harries supported his amendment
in i splendid speech, claiming that if the
manual training school was moved to the
Henry biiildhujit would be at- much under
the pergonal fupervision and msr-ect'onof
the superintendent as now.
Superintendent Powell having been called
on gave his views on the matter. He de
voted most o(f his. remarks to the argu
ments advanced by Major Harries, and
concluded by saying ttiat since the matter
of consolidating the schools was first men
tioned he hnilnevet auade even "a shadow
of an effort';, to bring the school to the
Franklin building, and would be satisfied
with whatever disposition the board saw
fit to make of the matter.
Other members of the board in turu
gave their opinions pn the subject before
a vote "was taken.
A. vote on the amendment to the commit
tee report offered by Major Harries was
then called for and resulted ayes 4- nays
G. divided as follows: Nays, Uamard,
Drs. Hazen and Shadd, Mrs; Stowell, Mr.
Comlsh and Mr. Bruce; ayes, Messrs.
Harries, Wilson, Whelpley and Dr. Hazen.
Before the vote was announced Major
Harries requested that his vote be record
ed In the negative. The vote on the re
port of the committee on high .and normal
training schools was exactly the reverse
orthattakenon the amendmentand again
Mr. Harriesasked thatnls votebe changed
and this time be recorded in the affirma
tive. Mr. Barnard then made a double
motion, to reconsider the whole matter and
then to lay on the table. This was amend
ed by Major Harries with a motion to post
pone on accountot the absence of a mem
ber of the board, Mr. Terrell, who is at
present in New York. The amendment
was lost, the vote standing 5 to 5. Mr.
Barnard's motion was then carried by a
vote ot to 4, the vote being the same
as on the original motion to locate the
school in the Franklin Building.
On motion of Mr. Barnard a third-class
teachers' certificate was granted to Miss
Eleanor Lassicr.
