Mrs. William E. 'Gallagher, a mem ber of tho Chicago board of education who is spendins a. few days in Ashe ville as a Kuest at Grove Park. Inn, yesterday visited some of the Ashe ville schools and expressed a very fav orable opinion on the educational sys tem in this city. Mrs; Gallagher was especially pleased with the work of the special Instruction department at Park avenue school. The Chicago ed ucator stated to a 'Gazette-News repre sentative that Miss Carson, principal of the Park avenue school, under stands very thoroughly the conditions in her school district. In Stiuoritj. When Mrs. Gallagher was appointed by the mayor of Chicago as a member of tho educational board she had no idea that she would play a prominent part in nn . educational controversy which would be the theme of extended and sometimes. warm debate in Chi cago and would also attract national attention. Should the school instruc tors of the Illinois city be allowed to Join a teachers', association that was affiliated with the American Federa tion of Iibor" The majority of the board said no; a minority, of whom Mrs. Gallagher was one, insisted that the teachers had this right and the lower courts have twice sustained the arguments for the teachers. The case Is on appeal to the Supreme court of Illinois. Mrs. Gallagher stated this af ternoon, and it will bo two years be fore the matter is finally determined. The majority of the Chicago people. Mrs. Gallagher things; is with the . teachers. . The opponents of tho association argued in substance that the teachers were not employed in a class of work that entitled them to enroll under the banner of the federation of labor and have its protection;' the public school system of Chicago should not have the management of its affairs subject to intervention by a national organiza tion like the federation. Citizens ranged themselves on either side and the pros and cons of the contention furnished much newspaper copy and gave the lawyers of Illinois a hard problem on whi- h to match wits.

SECTIONCAVED IN A 40-Foot Span of Floor Tell in Swannanoa River This Afternoon. SMALL LOSS. . A forty foot section of the new bridge that is being constructed lacross the Swannanoa river at Bllt- riiore, gave way shortly before 1' o'clock yesterday afternoon, - the concrete and other material that had . been used in building that part falling In to the river. No one was hurt, tho nicii being oft the job for dinner at the time. When seen by a Gazette-News re porter shortly after the accident oc curred the contractor stated that ne believed the false work under the bridge gave way, probably caused by the water washing against it. He stated that the actual loss would not amount to over $150 and that the bridge could be put back by noon today In the same condition it was before part of it fell. Almost all the rough work on the floor of the bridge had been finished when the men knocked off for din ner today and no one was near when a crash was heard and men rushing up saw that a large section of the bridge was in the river. The bridge is being bu;lt by con tract awarded by the town of Bllt more and Charles E. Waddell Is the consulting engineer, a Charlotte firm having secured the contract for the building of the bridge. Several times during the early stages of the build ing of the bridge, trouble has been experienced by water washing away parts of thp works, it Is stated, but this Is the first that anv considerable loss has been experienced.

Senator Simmons denied yesterday that he had either written or dis cussed In any way with Governor Craig the turbulent conditions at the Soldiers' home at Italelgh. As a mat ter of face Senator Simmons said he did not know that there had been any trouble In liuleigh until he read the story by Tom Host in the Gazette Ncws today. Equally false, the senator said, was the statement carried In one or the state newspapers, that lie had been instrumental in starting an investiga tion of the affairs of State Treasurer Vncy. Mr. Simmons said he knew ab solutely nothing of this investigation until some one told him about it In Raleigh a few weeks ago. He declared that he had never re ceived a letter from Engineer Dave Wright, with reference to Treasurer Lacy, nor, so far as he knew, from any one else. Me said that he talked with Governor Craig when the latter was here several days ago but that neither the condition of affairs at the Soldiers home nor the proposed In vestigation of the treasurer's office was mentioned by the governor. lieprescntaUve Godwin has intro duced a bill providing for a survey of the W'accamaw. river from Sim mons landing across Brunswick coun ty to a point near Seaside, known as Jubbs landing. .The survey lis to de termine whether it is advisable tn dredge the river In order to make It navigable.

The Leae And the Landlord 0. (1) Some montht ago I teased a house. At the time the lease vat taken, paid the first month's rent and it was stipulated in the agree ment that the landlord would maka certain improvements, such as in Hailing sewerage, water, efc, which toere to be completed and the house ready for occupancy bu a certain date, the date being the time the lease began to be in force. It was, however, a month or more after the lease had been in force before these improvements were completed, through the negligence of the land lord. The house was not ready for occupancy, but we moved into it on' the thirty-first day of the month, be cause it was necessary for us to va cate the house we were then occupy ing. We had placed some of our property in the house about the middle of the first month of the lease, but the house was not ready for occupancy and by doing so then we were put to much inconvenience by reason of the unfinished work. In view of the above facts, would I be within my rights to deduct, now or : at the time my lease expires, the amount 1 paid for the first month's rentt (B) With the consent of the landlord, I had certain work done on his property. Neither of us knew what such work would cost and no limit for this expenditure was men tioned, but it was expressly agreed between us that I should pay for the work when finished, and he the landlordwould reimburse me for the full amount. .Has the landlord any right to raise objections now to ' the payment of this amount to me because he thinks the charge made by the workman excessive, it being the usual rate charged for such workT Will he be bound by our agreement? A. (i) If the landlord violated ' his agreement, and there was no act amounting to a waiver on your part, he should compensate you for such breach. (2) The amount ot the compensation would depend up on what could be considered a rea sonable and fair restitution. The Ambassador's Son Q. (7) May a person vote at t primary although not of age at that time, if of age before the election? it) .Can a United States ambassa dor's son hold the office of President of the United States if born in a for eign country? A. (1) No. (2) No. We Are In The Dark Q. How may a stockholder in a company know the financial re sources of the company and how may the stockholder know whether he or she is getting a square deal? If the company guarantees a certain per cent., isn't it obliged to pay, even though the concern is in debt? A. An answer to your question depends upon the character of the corporation. The facts are not stated In such a way that you could be definitely adylsed. Consult your lawyer and give htm detailed in formation.
