Council Session Livened I By Brisk Balloting Over School Board Vacancies J. C. B. KliringhaiiH un<] \\ . W. Woodley, Jr., Elected, Latter After Numerous Deadlock" AYDLETT LOSES SEAT Chairman of Board Elimin ated Through Seemingly 4 Unbreakable Tie Vote ij With D. G. Brocket! " . Strongly reminiscent or tin- last Democratic National convention was that part of la?t night's ses alon of the City Council which was devoted to the flection of two members of the Board of Craded School Trustees. After several deadlocks and much balloting. J. C. B. Ehrlnghaus and W. W. Woodley, Jr.. were elected to the board. The terms of four mem bers expire this month, but under an arrangement to reduce the per sonnel of the board, ouly two were elected In their stead. The retiring members are E. F. Aydlett, Sr., chairman of the board for many years, N. S. Lea r y and C. E. Thompson. The term of the Late W. Harney Jennings ex pired also, accounting for the fourth vacancy. At the start of the balloting. J. C. B. Ehrlnghaun, D. Ouy Brock It, W. W. Woodley, Jr., and E. F. Aydlett, Sr.. were nominated. On the first ballot, Mr. Ehrlnghau* received six vote*, constituting a majority and was duly elected. None of the others received a ma jority, and the Council voted again. Brockett got four voteR, Mr. Aydlett three, and Mr. Wood ley two, on the second ballot. Somebody had accidentally voted twice, this being apparent from the fact that, whereas there aro only eight members of the Coun cil, nine votes were cast. On the third ballot, and for eight successive ballots, the vote Mood solidly tied, four for Mr. I Brockett, and four for Mr. Ayd lett. Councilman Morgan suggest ed that Mayor McCabe break the fie, but the Mayor declared he pre ferred that the board settle the Anatter without his participation. When the eleventh ballot had pAsnlted like It predecessors. Coun Anian P. C. Cohoon moved that fc?>th candidates be dropped, and oth ers be nominated In the hope of breaking the deadlock. E. J Cohoon seconded the motion, and Messrs. Hughes, Armstrong and Morgan voted with the two Co boon.^ Councilman Kramer, I>a Yls and Bright voted agaiiiHt It. The motion was declared carried. At that juncture, Mayor McCabe reminded the Council of a recent request from the Woman' Club that at least one femlne member be added to the School Board. I'. C. Cohoon then nominated Mr*. Walter L. Cohoon. the club's Choice for the place. Mr. Arm Strong nominated C. P. Brown, ?nd Mr. Kramer renominated W. W. Woodley. Jr. On the first vote. Mrs Cohoon and Mr. Woodley received three Totes each, and Mr. Brown two. None had a majority. On the sec ond ballot, the vote stood 4 4 be tween Mrs. Cohoon ond* Mr. Brown. Then Mr. Woodley again was renominated, and on the next ballot, he received five votes to Mrs. Cohoon'n three, and was de clared elected. SUBMARINE S-51 ON WAY WITH VICTIMS New York, July fi. ?

Defendant Escapes Meshes of Net In Sprout Mystery A carefully apuu web of circum stautlal evidence failed to hold John Moore, colored, who faced Trial Justice Sawyer In recorder's court Tuesday morning on a charge of haviug stolen a quantity of mwhmi potato aproutn from It. (). Chappell. elderly resident of Maple street, on the night of June 12. last. At the close of the hearing. Judge Sawyer stated that, while Moore may have stolen the sprouts, as the Slate alleged, he i could not conscientiously find the defendant guilty beyond a reason - hle doubt. Mr. Chappell teat If led that on Sunday morning. June 11. lie dix covered that someone had made u raid ou a l?ed of choice llaymau potato sprouts In his garden, lie found two nets of footprints lead ing from the bed. lie declared, iuto an alley hack of his place and thence to Kallroad avenue. There, the wltneases staled, he diacerned evidence that aomeoue had turned around a home and cart. and. following the tracks. by a devious route he proceeded down Cedar street and thence by way of Locust to Parsonage. whence the tracks led weatwardly across the North South Railroad and into a lane leading to Moore'a home. The home whose tracka he had followed. Mr Chappell declared, apparently wan shod except for one front foot. At Moore'a home, he admitted under cross-examination by Waller L. fohoon. who repre sented the defendant, he found no evidence of any recently pulled po tato aprouts, but on a visit there several weeks later, he saw a mini her of "scalded" sprouts which lie believed were his own. lie oh vlously believed Moore had hidden the sprouts for several weeks be fore setting them out. Although positively declaring at the start that these latter sprouts were of the llayman variety, Mr. Chappell Inter admitted that he could not determine the species of a small hunch of specimen sprouts which Moore had carried into court. He admitted also that he had not examined the feet of Moore's horse to determine wheth er the animal had been shod in a faahlon to correspond with t lie suspected tracks. Police Officer Anderson, next on the stand, testified to having sef-n Moore driving out Ixicust street and Into Parsonage, obviously on his way home, towards 1 o'clock on the morning of June II, with a number of lard cans In his cart He said he did not see what the cans contained. Chief H nlmes then told of having examined the feet of Moore's gray mare, and of having found that only the left hind foot had been ?hod. Moore, himself on the stand later, testified that only the right hind font had been shod dur Ing the past ye^r, the other three feet having been "bare." The defendant claimed he bought the questionable sprouts from Carrie Harnett, colored, who Uvea on First stret. lie was cor roborated by her as to the pur chase of a quantity of them for <6 cents. A case la which P. H Small and Tom and Simon Storey were charged with aaaault. and with possession, transportation and pur-| chasing liquor, was continued to Wada?a4ay morning In the ab COUNCIL TO AID ON EXPENSE OF TAKING THE AIR 4 ily Kutlii*r> llonalc S "Ml Toward r.iM of I rip f'?
