VACATION SCHOOLS OPEN.
AND PUPILS PLOOK TO XHJW JOT
eaqeji jtnorss.
This Aversion to Uollrtnys Is for Apparent
than Ileal, for In Addition to learning Use
ful Things nt the Hehoobi tho Toangsters
Also Havo the neat Kind or ran Then.
Tho vacation schools opened yoaterday morn
ing with a whoop, or, rnthor, thousands of
whoops from all dimensions of throats. Thero
aro ten of tho schools this year. Last year there
were only six. Tho incroaso shows that thoro
nro lots of boys and girls botween tho ages of 6
and 15 years in Now York who do not want any
t aratlou from school. The explanation is that
tho children havo more fun in tho schools than
they do nt homo or on tho streets. Tho objoot
of vacation echools Is not to keep roomful after
roomful of children sitting up in stiff, silent
rows waiting for tho recoss boll to ring-not a
bit of It It is to keep children for whom idle
ness means mischief and bad associations nnd
dlsoaso away from those things for two or thrco
hours each day, amusing thorn, and Incidental
ly gltjng thorn chnncos to learn things that do
not como to them In tho regular schools.
Down In Norfolk street, half a square from
Grand, is tho biggest of tho schools. Whon
Emll Now man, tho principal, disralssod school
nt half past 11 o'clock ycslorday morning, ho
had given out ovor a thousand tickets of ad
mission to tho Bchool. That is a somewhat
greater number of pupils than enn bo comfort
ably placed In tho first two floors of Orammar
School 25, which havo bcon turned ovor to Mr.
Nowman for tho tncatlon schools. Ho will
ask for ono more floor.
At half p ist 8 o'clock there was n crowd of
boys nnd girls in front of tho school doors.
School was not to open until 0 o'clock, but as
tho street grow hotter and tho crowd grow
bigger nnd there wore ono or two propositions
to start n light, Mr. Newman told tho Janitor
to lot tho crowd in at a quartor of 0 o clock.
Thoy cunio lu Bwarms thnt almost frlRhtouod
tho fourteen totchors who wore ready to ro
colto them. Many of them went to tncntlou
uchool last summer. They mndo a rush for tho
teachers they know. Ono of theso was Mr.
Morris, who was In tho school at Hester and
Chrjetlo streets last year. Ho was mobbed.
A w Ircn faced youngster on tho outskirts of
Uio crowd cllmbod on a chair nnd In a shrill
tolco squealed: "Throo cheers for Mr. Morris.
"You, Abo, Bit down," shouted Mr. Morris.
Abo sat down, but tho cheera had started.
Not only Abe, but l'atscy and August had to
bo Bquclchcd before tho toachcr could mako him
solf heard.
"Now," said Mr. Morris, "I want to havo a
nice, quiet talk with you bo)s. I think I know
most of )ou. How many of )ou played ball on
mv nine last year. Hold up your hands."
Tho boys put up their hands and then
climbed up alter them. Every ono of them
stood on his scat nnd wat cd both hands. Also
they yelled. lhoo who had not or noon tho
teacher before ) clled Just as loud as thoso who
had. Ono of tho reasons why Mr. Morris is so
popular is that ho teaches commercial book
keeping. Anything that has to do with tho ac
cumulation or consort ntion of mono) Is apt to
bo popular down in Norfolk street.
In tho main room bolow Miss Cornelius at
at tho piano nnd plncd bongs that everybody
knew, such, for Instance, as "Tho Sidewalks of
Isew York. And ot cry ono sang Ins w ell and
as loud as his musical nnd physical develop
ment jiormltted. Of course, josterday was
opening da), nnd tho principal thing to bo done
was to keep ctcrybod) bus) while tho classifi
cation was going on. ".To-day, Mr. Nowman
Buld, tbo teaching will begin and things will
quiet down. School w ill begin nt 0 o clock and
end nt noon. Half nn hour will bo spent In
singing ct cry day, and hnlf nn hour In organ
ized recreution in tbo yard. In tho rest of tho
tlmo thcro will lo instruction, klndorgtrten
work, sewing, drawing, deslgnlrg, cloy model

at the bar. Ho was calm and smiling as on tho
occasion of his first arraignment. Mrs. Nack,
too, sootnod perfectly solf-poisessod as sho camo
in fanning hersolf vigorously. Neither of the
prisoners wns allowed to plead, tho counsel for
oach putting in a demurrer to tho Indictment
Lawyer Howo, in behalf of Thorn, mado nn
application to inspect tho testimony taken bo
foro the Grand Jury upon which tho Indictment
was based. Ho Insisted that Thorn was enti
tled to know what this testimony was. Doputy
Assistant District Attornoy Ilosalsky opposed
the production of tho minutes and Judgo New
burger denied tho application. Thorn's counsol
then filed a demurrer upon tho grounds that tho
Grand Jury thnt found tbo indictmont had no
right to Inquire Into tho crlmo, which was com
mitted in tho county of Queens, out ot tho juris
diction of Now York county; that tho indict
ment did not conform to tho requirements of
law because District Attornoy Olcott had not
signed It. und flnnlly becauso more than ono
crime conspiracy In New York and murder in
Queens county is charged In tho Indictment.
Sir. House, counsel ror Mrs. Nnck, also de
manded to seo the testimony taken by the Grand

lnurrcr In her behalf. Ho eet up tho samo

ment on tho demurrers for tbo21st Inst. It wns
announced that counsol for tho prisoners will
argue that both prisoners should hato had nn
examination when arraigned before Maglstrato
Flammcr In tho Magistrate's court, and boforo
tho matter was submitted to tho Grand Jury,
but will try to upset tho Indictment chiefly on
tho ground of lack of Jurisdiction, contending
that tho soctlon of tho code giving olther county
jurisdiction whore a crime is committed partly
In 0110 county and partly In another docs not
apply In the killing of Glcldscnsuppo.
Mrs. Nnck complalnod after sho was remanded
to the Tombs b) Jndgo Nowburgcr that sho
wanted tho mone) bolonglng to her, which, sbo
said, was in tho cars of Acting Inspector O'Drlon
at Police Headquarters. Sho said that she

Charles It. C. Llpsey camo hero from Hudson,
N. Y Inst month to attend tho Muslo Toncher'
Convention, nnd tosk lodgings nt 137 West Fif
teenth streot.
On tho afternoon of Juno 20, whllo In Central
Park, ho struck up nn acquaintance with a
youth, who, on seeing tho badgo on Llpsey'i
coat and tho roll of muslo ho carried, told him
that ho had a piano lu his apartment, nt 274
Fourth atomic, nnd Invited the muslo teacher
to try Uio instrument. Ltpsoy wont along, and
when ho reached tho room took n scat with his
back to tho door, no had tecn seatod thore but
n fow minutes when two men entered, and, ap
proaching htm from behind, garrotcd him, while
Ids companion of Central Park rifled his pock
ets. They stolo a gold watch and chain valued
at 900, a pocket book containing $4, nnd Jewelry
valuod at $25. Then they fled from tho placo,
leaving Ltpsoy nearly strangled on tho floor.
Llpsey found bis way to tho West Thirtieth
strcot station, whero ho sa)s ho reported th)
caso to tho Scrgoa'nt at tho desk. The ol!ceman
said ho did not belloro tho story, nnd refused la
art In tho matter or entertain tho complaint.
Then Llpsey went to soo Superintendent Durr of
tho Parkhurst Society.
From tho description of the men Durr at one
recognized them as members ot n notorious
gang, tw o members of which, "Hobokcn Dick"
nnd John HUey, he had boon Instrumental In
sending for a year to tho penltcntlnry, where
tliov now uro, on chargos of robbor) and ex
tortion. Durr reported tho matter to President
Moss of tho Polico Hoard nnd Inspoctor Harley,
and snld that Llpsey's ansallanta were Arthur
F. Morton, alias Doyntnn, alias Little Venus,
18 years old: Willio Deiyle, 10 years old, and an
oldor man named Griffon. Inspector Harley
put Policemen Nugent and Wilson on the case,
and on Saturday night they arrested Morton
and Doyle.
In Jofferson Market Court yesterday Llpsey
Identified Morton as tho boy he bad mot in ths
Park, and Doylo as ono of his assailants. Hs
told his story to Magistrate Fiammer, and Mor
ton denied it, declaring that Llpsey had asked
him to take him to tho room on Fourth avenue.
Dotlo mado no Btatemont except to plead not
guilty. Doth were held in 81000 boll for trial.
According to Superintendent Durr, Morton
was tho bait used by a notorious gang of black
mailers that used to hang around the Fifth
Avonuo Hotel. Mon wore inveigled by them to
a room whero they wero robbed or accused of
crimes which made blackmailing easy. A Wall
street man whoso nnmo baa not been disclosed
was mulcted out ot $5,000 by tbo gang, and
when tho two referred tn woro arrested ho went
