SCHOOL NO. 62
TO HAVE NEW
BUILDING SOON
(Continued From Page One.)
school city now is within about $500,000
of the limit of its bonded indebtedness
Despite the fact he made the motion at
the last meeting instructing the finance
committee to report next week. Bert S.
Gadd, proceeded to denounce the finance
committee for what he termed a policy
of delay and said when he made the mo
tion he" forgot there were five Tuesdays
In the month, and he thought the matter
was due to come up at the meeting last
Bight. He then moved the business di
rector prepare the resolution without
waiting for the approval of the finance
committee.
Mr. Allison objected, saying this was
not in keeping with the instructions
given his committee and the action
showed discourtesy toward the commit
tee, but to the great Joy of the delega
tion the motion was carried by the votes
of Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler, Clarence
E. Crlppin and Xlr. Gadd.
Mr. Allison and Xlr. Barry did not
vote. Before the vote was taken an ef
fort was made to have the finance com
mittee hold a meeting in an adjoining
room, but the committee could not see
matters in that light and the vote was
taken after Xlr. Allison had told the
board to “go ahead and crack your
whip.” Xlr. Allison said he did not op
pose the new building at No. 62. but he
demanded the time given his committee
at the last meeting of the board on Mr.
Gadd's motion.
Delegations from schools Nos. 16. 36
•nd 38 also were present, but did not
press their cases when they found that
"new buildings or new additions for their
schools were provided for in the build
ing program, although a woman who
was interested In school No. 38 said
twenty -four years ago anew building
had been promised at that place and the
school had been holding Tialf day ses
sions for twenty years.
DEBATE AND CLOCK
STOP SIMULTANEOUSLY.
The wrangling and the big clock on
the wall stopped simultaneously at ex
actly 9:36. a coincidence that resulted in
considerable discussion on the part of
the spectators in the room, although no
two were able to agree on what connec
tion, if any, there was between the two
events.
Having got the usual fight out of its
system the board settled down to the
matter of considering repairs and Im
provements for various school buildings
during the summer months. Without ar
gument or dissension the expenditure of
4199,003.12 was authorized for this pur
pose. Os this amount $29,216 will be ex
pended on school No. 1) and $29,500 on
school No. 23.
Xlr. Dodglas told the board the ex
penditure of this money would leave a '
deficit of approximately $90,000 in the
fund, from which it must be paid.
Whether or not a bond issue will be
made to cover this will be decided at a
future date.
Mr. Gadd explained while this expen
diture might seem large, it was a neces
sary one and when completed woul*l
leave every building in good condition.
Contractors doing school work affected
by the recent s'trike of the building
trades, were given extensions of thirty
seven days, the duration of the strike,
on their contracts.
ASKS USE OF

A communication was received from R.
Walter Jarvis, city director of recrea
tion, requesting the use of playgrounds.

ing schools: Nos. 3, 58. 15, 9. 20. 22. 49.
50. 50. 63. 24 and 48. The request was

L. A. Snider, building advisor; Mr. Gadd
and Xlr. Douglas, for the purpose of
striking off the list schools where work
that will interfere with the use of the
playgrounds is in progress.
E. U. Graff, superintendent of schools,

75 TRIBESMEN FALL
IN AFRICAN BATTLE
LONDON, Xfay 25, —Seventy-five South
African natives, belonging to a fanatical
tribe, were killed in battle with the po
lice near Bullhoek, according to a Cen
tral News dispatch from Cape Town to
day.
Four thousand of the natives, who are
known in South Africa as “Israelites,”
attacked the police and violent lighting
proceeded over a front of a mile before
the natives surrendered. The total cas
ualties were more than 150.
PEGGY JOYCE
TELLS REPORTER
HER ROMANCE
(Continued From Page One.)
and besides I was too busy to think of
such things as wills.”
“Didn’t he make you beneficiary for
$400,000 in life insurance?” was the next
question.
“Not at my solicitation. He did take
out a lot of insurance. It may have
been $400,000.”
SIOO,OOO VISIT TO
PEGGY’S BOUDOIR.
Peggy then told of the SIOO,OOO visit
of Joyce to her boudoir. She had locked
herself in her room and turned a deaf
ear to her husband's entreaties with a
mahogany door intervening. Joyce
sulked outside. He finally telegraphed a
New York jeweler to send a representa
tive with a tray of the largest stones to
be found. It was a ceremony of the
genii rubbing the magic lamp- Joyce
selected two stones, one priced at SBO,OOO
and one at SIOO,OOO. But Peggy pouted—
she said so herself.
“If one is not large enough, take both.”
was the command. The door opened
wide. One of the two stones—the SIOO,OOO
one—now flashed on Peggy’s finger.
Joyce was permitted to enter the room.
He remained Just eight minutes in the
presence of his wife. Then she cast him
out.
“WIRE-TAPPING”
STORY IS AFFIRMED.
Asked concerning the “wire-tapping"
game which cost Joyce £IO,OOO in Lon
don. Pegy said the facts were correct.
“I had gone to Torquay. When I got
back he told me he had lost a lot of
money. It was the wire-tapping game,
whatever that is. He had evidently got
ten terribly drunk, lost a lot of money
and then squealed. A terrible piker trick,
wasn’t it—but then I guess any man
would squeal who lost that much to
confidence men—l mean, tell the police.
“That was what Joyce did —he told
Scotland Yard.”
Peggy was then asked her age.
“BELIEVE YOUR BA BY
OR BELIEVE YOUR EXES.”
“Believe your baby or believe your
eyes," she lilted. “I’m 80 years old to
day. I all of that. I’ve had rheu
matism aed a bad tooth."
Then she became serious.
“I told you X fibbed about my age at
my first marriage. I’ll tell you in confi
dence now and it's a fact; I’ll be 26 at
my next birthday, but after that I won’t
be responsible for what I say. That’s
the dead line, positively.
**’Now that's settled. Please listen. I
know nothing about plots and I’m no
money grabber. My husband was not
a piker in his gifts to me. The whole
world knows that. But he is terribly un
fair in wanting them back again. If he
insists, very well, I’ll go to court and
fight him.”
Peggy then touched on the charges
that she was intimate with a number of
other men.
AFFAIRS WITH OTHER
■MEN ARE REFUTED.
"As to those charges of affairs with
men.” she said, heatedly, “they're all
groundless. Barton French at Torquay,
Henri Letelller at Venice, E. James and
Maurice, the dancer, in London, and

THE Wm.H.BLOCkTxX
The natives had seized a large tract
of ground at Bullhoek, where they built
350 huts. They called this “holy ground”
and refused to recognize the authority of
the South African government. When
the commander of the police force de
manded the surrender of the atives they
attacked the police. The police, who
were armed with service rifles, waited
until the onrushing natives were only
forty rods distant and then opened fire.
Evans Spaulding in New York—the
charges are all terribly false.
“They were Just friends of his and
mine—merest acquaintances. Maurice —
why, I merely danced twice with him in
my life. The rest meant no more to me.”
“SEVER! NEVER! NEVER
ANOTHER HUSBAND.”
Peggy talked of her future.
“It will be either the stage or pic
tures. I have had offers from both. You
work too hard, though, in the movies.
But I can't do anything In this condi
tion. I want to get out of the country—
near Paris, where I can find quiet and
rest. I hope to have a few friends left,
a man or two among them, but "
“Maybe you'll marry again in time,”
ventured the interviewer.
“Never! Never! Never another man in
my life," said Peggy, and this with ve
hemence. “I should say not!”
Thus the interview ended.
