gens, Assembled in Town Meeting
flaturday Afternoon, Vote to a Man
to Have the Session: of the
School Resumes.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

.Oontrary to all expectations, the spe-
olal town meeting which was held in
the Opera House at Westport, Satur-
day afternoon. was a rather tame at-
fair. it was expected that there would
belaome warm discussions, owing to
the fact that there were about one nun-
dred Poplar Plains voters present to
oppose the action of the Westport
school board in closing the Poplar
Plains school. They were fully primed
'xfor anything that might arise, out. ai~
though there were members . of the
school board present. they did notrlso
in opposition when the following res-
olution was unanimously passed:
"Resolved, That the school commit.
tee of this town is hereby directed to
ie-open and provide teachers for the
Poplar Plains school district immediu
ately, or as soon as possible.’

E. M. Lees, d populai Poplar Plains
man, presented the resolution, and he
was the only one who had anything to
say concerning it. He denounced the
actibn of the school committee in
strong terms and said that it had on-
ceeded its powers in closing the Poplar

‘ Plains school. "Why," he said. “that
school was built one hundred years
ago The most .;oi'. as present here to»
day were educated there and i think
that it is an outrage for the school

committee to compel our children to
go to théiWcst Singatuok school. , ..

. of hool committee can abolish

one district school i should think it
would hove the power to close all the
district schools in town. The commit
too has no such poorer and it seems
to me that it has made a serious mis
take in this mpttcr. for it is very evi-
dent that till embers do not fully
uiiderstauilid the galley: tmilitiafiling the
coax by are soon ltisa
sulfa who
his Plains distiict should be domineer.

‘ "ed ‘0ch' iii this manner. Every loyal
voter in the district should get up in
arms. and compel the cemmlttce to
once again open the school. The school
committee has Exceeded its powers and

.the only Way to rectify matters is for“

_ this'town meeting to instruct the com-
mittee to reopen the school.“

Mr. Lees was cheered loudly at the
conclusion of his remarks. A yes and
nay vote was taken for the adoption 01
the resolution. it seemed that the
cry of “you" came from every throat
It resoundcd through the hall and re-
minded one ol an enthusiastic political
demonstration. it would have been no
use to argue with such a determined
gathering. They went there to pass
that‘resolutlon favorably, and no per-
suasive Dowers could have made one
Poplar Plains man change his mind.

The meeting was not. called to order
imtll 3 o‘clock. Long before this hour
crowds of excited men“ assembled on
the streets of Westport, and discusseo
the situation from a prejudiced stand-
point. Thcre was considerable elec-
tioueering and they all agreed to sus-
tain the resolution to a man. Groups of
six or seven talked in undertones. and‘
when a voice would be raised, it woulu
invariably be in denunciation of the
school committee.

After considerable twisting and
turning. J. Chapman Taylor, of Poplar
Plains. was chosen chairman of the
session. Town Clerk J. Li. limit. of
Westpori. acted as clerk. The resolu-
tion was road and passed. Mr. Leos
delivered his remarks and the meet-
ing adjourned. hardly inking up ten
minutes' time. This Was contrary to
the usual run of proceedings in West.-
port. but then Poplar l’inlns people
were at the wheel and they do not
believe in many convontlonaiitics.

At the close of the session a Buntin-
.cl reported approached Professor '1'. ti.
bitearns. president of the committee,
and asked him no to the effect the pan
we of the resolution would hill") on
the committee. "To speak candidly, i
think it will have very little effect."
said Mi. Htoarns. ”Mr. Miss has said
that the committee closed the school
without first conauitlnu the law. I beg
to differ with him in this respect. We
have had legal advice on this matter
and we have done nothing that We are
ashamed of in closing the Poplar

, Plains school. i llfinlldm‘ we noted for
the best interests of the town. The
committee made a house to house can
vase and could only mi from six to
eight scholars who said go to the
Poplar Plains school. We thought that
it was about time to close one of the

, schools in the lava: and on the smallest
goreentagn of scholars went to the

enter Plains whom, that was the one
decided upon.

"i understand how the Poplar Plains

zooms feel idiom this matter. They

are bigoted opinions and nothing
could change their minds For that
reason i did not express my views in
the meeting. if i had arose i know
just how it would be. i would have has
to fight about. too men who came here
with set ideas This would not pay,
for i think the more you stir up cons
tendon of any kind. the worse it is.

,‘I‘iiil matter will be fully considered

tithe next meeting of the committee.

President NtoKiniey and VioeLproeident
Roosevelt Deliver Their Inaugural
Addresses Before; Thousands
Of People.

WASHINGTON, name .4—vWilliam
McKinley, of Ohio, today was inducted
into the presidentialolllce. being the
eighth in the illustrious line of preel-r
dents of the United States than hon,
ored by the American people with a
second and consecutive term. Simul-
taneously, Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York, became vicc~prcsldent of the
United States.

The ceremony that marked this sec-
ond assumption by President McKinv
lay of the cares of state was most im-
pressive and full of suggestion of the
development of the Republic during
the past four years.

The weather is a source of apple»
henslon on inauguration day. and it has
become almost a truism that never can
a president expect on two consecutive
inauguiatlous to have even fair weath-
er. The older inhabitants of Washing
ton shiver now when they think of the
terrible hardships sullered by the

odors and even the spectators on the
filghtful day when Grant was for the
second time inaugurated. A long spell
of remarkably fine weather added to
the probabilities that a change must
soon he expected. But the special
weathci bulletin issued last night ex
pressed absolute confidence of a fine
day today. During the early hours and
even well into the morning the pros
poet was certainly discouraging. At 0
oclock a m. a drizsiiiig rain was fall
ing and at sunrise hung so thickly that
the sun was scarcely visible. But about
8 o’clock the clouds began to break
and in the course of an hour broad
beams of: sunlight Went glow . ~
use, the variit'tioiis tram il‘ «
ow. as the clouds scildded rapidly over
the sky under the influence of a north
wcst wind. adding variety to the pic-
ture. 0n the whole the day promised
to be a glorious one.

With those younger veterans, and in
recent years had had its parade. all
ways creditable in size and Wristy and
usually having some distinctive feu~
lure. That which followed President
McKinley today on his return from the
capitol to the White House. and passed
in review there before him. was differ-
out. from all its predecessors in the
majestic predominance of the military
feature. The civil contingent was
quite up to the average in point if
numbers; yet by actual count mode by
the marshals the men in soldierly uni.
forms outnumbered the civilians in
line» by more than three to one. in
the serried ranks of blue were many
soldiers who had carried the country's
flag for out into the world, and had
Wagon a war which was all in the fu-
ture when the last inaugural proces-
sion marched along Pennsylvania ave-
nus.

thh those younger veterans, and in
the place of honor. as the president‘s
escort. marched another contingent
made up entirely of soldiers of the
civil war, all gray‘hairod and showing
in gait and bent forms marks of the
passage of years and of the lingering
effects of the great battles and cam-
paigns of the most stupendous struggle
that the world has seen, and it was an
easy prophesy to observe that never
again would they be able to make as
a showing in
their effort to escort a president. on
the occasion of his accession to oiliou.
At their head, to quicken their step.
marched the Rough Rider band, sug-
gestive of the extraordinary organise~
tion which marked one of the most
inspiring characters in the history of
the voluntary armies of the United
States. For the first time in a quar
tor of a century the president rods
from the White House to the capitol
without a successor beside him in his
carriage. Grant was the last of the
presidents of the United States up to
this time to occupy a similar position.
President McKinley had for his com'
punlons in his carriage members of the
committee specially chosen by Con-
gress to take charge of the inaugura-
tion. headed by Senator Mark Hanna.

"The fence is only 8% feet high and
ends noarlytweuty-livc foot from the
sidewalk. and is nearly three feet away
from the. division fence."

She showed the reporter a picture
of a spite fence. it was thirty feet
high and reached to the edge of the
sidewalk.

“Another thing the papers have
been saying," continued Mrs. Uiilo, is
that we have quarreled. This is not
so. The only time that I over spoke
to Mr. Wliitlock was when i asked iiiin
to have the boys stop shooting. Aftci
that i made all my complaints to the
