The acting visitors of the School
Board herewith make a statement and
announcement in regard to admitting
g pupils into the entering class ‘of the
' liorwalkzfligh School:
Complaints came to members of the
board that scholars had entered the
» class 'of last year who were not well
‘ prepared to go on with the studies
‘ of the course. an injustice, to the
scholars themselves, as well as detri-
mental to the school.
In the'lntqrest of a common stand-
ard of admission an examination was
pro tired and the acting visitors were
nut orised by vote of the board, April
18. 1906., to make all accesses-yaw
rangements to carry this examination
into effect. Such an examination was
held after due announcement. on Fri—
slay and Saturday, June 16 and 17_
This examination was very carefully
gotten up, covering the full range of
subjects, and was impartially and con-
scientiously conducted. As a result
104 applicants received certificates ad-
mitting them to the High School. Some
fplled to pass by a narrow margin.
Mails others were far below the stand-
O-l' .
' in view of these facts another ex-
amination had been planned giving
those who failed to pass. as well as
others who might wish to enter, an-
otheropportunity. it has been judged
best, however, not to field this second
examination. It would. necessarily
come Very near the time for the open-
ing of the school and would involve
some expense and a good deal of hard
and hurried work on the part of the
» oasmlners. ‘ Another consideration has
that the summer months are not

In this posture of affairs. it has been
decided to give up the second exam-
ination and to admit scholars on cer—
tificates from the different schools.
Blanks forms for these certificates have
been prepared and will be presented
to those teachers or school authorities
.who desire them. To those who passed
the examinations great credit is due.
The certificates they bold are marks
of honor that they may well prize.
The acting visitors believe that the
examinations held have fully justified
themselves in their tonic effect upon
the work in the schools that prepare
for the High School course. They
are an advance step sure of immed-
iate effect. They are also a timely
. notice of the early establishment of a
high and unlforin standard for ads
mission to the High School.
By vote of the acting visitors the
foregoing statement has been given
to the press,

Coroner Begins ills Examinat-

ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 24.—-’l‘be cor-
oner's examination of workmen who
were digging a collar under the Mey-
crs department store at the time of
its collapse two weeks ago, has shown
that the men were warned of the ap-
proaching disaster for nearly an hour
before the structure fell and crushed

Captain Thomas if.
awed ills lien *by Bringing
Cut a Revolver at the Proper
Time, and Probably Prevent-
ed Bloodshed ‘
With a mutinous crew on board.
Captain Thomas H. Salter. of the
three-masted British schooner Kee—
waydln, hailing from Flreborough.
Canada, arrived in this port with a
cargo of lumber brought from ,New-
port. Va.. and consigned to the Hub-
bell, Hall and Randall Company. On
his arrival here the mutlnous condb
tion of the crew was reported to the
authorities and N. C. Yohansen, a
Swede who appeared to be the ring-
leaders of the mutineers. was dis-
charged.
Only by the exerclse of good Judg-
ment was bloodshed averted while off
the coast of Maine and at one time
rohansen drew a rasor and threaten-
ed to kill Captain Salter. He said that
he had the backing of the crew and
would throw Captain Salter overboard.
The captain managed to overuwo the
crew with a .44 calibre revolver, and
made port safely.
He stated that he would have Yo-
hansen arrested on a charge of mu—
tiny, but he did not want the bother
and waste of time it would take for
a trial. He thereupon desired to dis—
charge the man, but under the articles
of the vessel which Yohanaen shipped
the dismissal was a difilcult affair.
Captain Salter also felred that if an
attempt was made to forcibly eject
rohansen fro the vessel the other
sailors, who are both disaffected.
would put up a fight which would
lead to bloodshed.
Officer Frank Raymond went to the
shore near the bridges. but within
South Norwalk Jurisdiction, accom-
panied by Constable Goodwin and lo-
cal press representatives. Officer Ray—
mond kept out of sight and Yohnusen
was sent ashore with the small boat.
When on shore he was not allowed on
board the schooner again.
Constable Goodwin and the Sentinel
representative went on board to see
how the other mutinous members of
the crew took the discharge of their
ringleader. They were called into
Captain Saiter’s cabin and accused of
being mutinous. Constable Goodwin
read them a very pointed and personal
lecture on their duties as seamen and
they were allowed to go to their
work. One of them was very suiky
but Captain Salter stated that he‘could
take care of the rest of them without
trouble.
The story of the mutiny was veri»
lied ‘by 'C. Salter. mate of the vessel
and Captain Snitcr's father. as Well
as by the cook. They told of how on
one occasion during the voyage Yo-
hansen had seized the captain and
lifting him bodily from the dock had
carried him to the rail and threatened
to throw him overboard.
On another occasion, when Yoban-
son had been talking to and annoying
the man on lookout. Captain Salter
had ordered him below. It was Yo-
hansen's watch below, but he refused
to obey the captain. and when re-
monstratcd with. drew a razor on
his superior. The other two seamen
also refused duty several times after.
that and last night again became mu-
tlnous. Captain Salter ordered the
yawl boat hoisted to the devils, but
Yohansen and the other Sweden in-
sisted on going ashore and refused
to bbey the order.
The schooner carried a complement
of six men, Captain Salter, Mate Sal-
ter, a cook and three seamen. Mr.
Saiter's father is old and broken down
In health, and the captain feared that
serious trouble would result.
When once on shore Yohansen com-
plained that Captain Salter had abus-
ed the crew and cursed at them. He
statedin regard to the incident of
the lookout toat‘ths man was trying
to learn English and hewas endeav-
oring to teach him. and that be had
,a right on deck.
‘ Yohansen has been a sailor since he
was sixteen years of age and was rai-
sd an able bodied seamen at the age
of eighteen. He has been at work on
square rigged ships until recently.
when he shipped on the Keewaydlll.
ills dunnsgs was packed in his bag
by the cook and bundled over the
side. Captain Salter went snare and
paid him off. Yohansen went to New
York to ship again on some other
craft where the condition would be
there congenial.

Closed Season on the llatursl
Beds is Extended from Sep-
tember. i0. is September 20
An act of the~recent general as-
sembly has extended ithe close season
for oystering on the natural beds from
September 10 to September 20, and
consequently it will be a misdemeanor
.0 work on the natural beds before
the latter date.
There appears to have been some
misunderstanding by oystermen on the
matter who believed that the amend-
.d law applied only to the llousaionlc
[liver beds. Clerk Perry. of the Shelf
Fish Commission, howeVer, has point-
ed out that all the natural beds are
meant.
The section in question reads as fol-
lows:
"Section 3254 of the general statutes
it hereby amended by striking cut
the word 'tenth' in lines four and five
thereof and substituting in lieu there-
of the word ‘tweatloth.’ so that this
section as amended shall read as fol-
lows: Every person who shall, be-
tween the twentieth day of July and
the twentieth day of September, gath-
er or take any oysters or shells from
any natural oyster had described. in
Section 3214, and any person who
shall, between the twentieth day of
Jilly and the twentieth day of Sep-
tember in any Year gather or take
any oysters or shells in the House-
tolllc River shall be fined not more
than fifty dollars. or imprisoned not
.llore than thirty days. or both; pro-
vided. that nothing in this.section
shall be construed to prohibit the
gathering or tailing of shells or.mus~
sels by the use of tools in the said
Housatonlc River below a line drawn
from a stake on the west bank of said
river. at Qulnmber's Neck Point, so«
called, and running thence in a north

east side of said river. .Ssld stakes
shall be located and maintained at
said points by the solectmen of the

Oscar ll. Banks Secures lil-
fiterest of Horace E. Calm in
the Firm of 'Ilalui fl Banks,
Norwalk, and Will Continue
the Business
An interesting Norwalk business
change has Just been announced. The
firm of Dean 1 Banks, who have con-
duoted one of the best known livery
and sales stables in Southwestern Con-
necticut for the past several years,
has dissolved partnership.
Oscar Ii. Banks has purchased the
entire interests of Horace Iii. Dunn.
and will conduct the business in the
future. The full details of the trans-
fer will probably be completed in a
day or two. when Mr. Banks will as-
sume formal control.
The firm has had a very prosperous
career and the business will, it is e;-
pected, be conducted along the same
lines as formerly. An important
branch of the concern for a long time
has been the sales department. many
carioads of animals being brought
here in the course of a year from the
Middle West.
It is stated that Mr. Dunn’s health
has not. been the best for quite a long
time. and that he will probably take
a long rest before entering into any
other active business ventures. Mr.
Dunn is. a member of the Norwalk
Brass Company and this enterprising
manufactory holds much interest for
him. He has been associated with
the business since its infancy.
A number of years ago Mr. Darin
conducted the stable business alone.
Later he sold out to Mr. Banks and
then a very short time after that re-
purchased a half interest. Since that
time the firm has been known as Dunn
i‘e Banks. ‘

“ulniurod shortly before 6 o’clock in

struck by W. A. Wheeler's automobile.
Mr. Wheeler was driving at the time
and one of his sons, Lester Wheeler,
was on the seat beside him.
Though the accident was an unfor-
tunate one. bystanders state that the
occupants of the machine were in no—

Mr. Jones, who started to cross the
thoroughfare, stepped out from behind
a horse and wagon and before pedes-
trian or automobilists could do any-
thing, the machine had struck the
former.
In addition to being severely shaken
up, Mr, Jones' left ankle was sprained,
the skin was scraped from his right
knee and he received a number of
bruises. The injured man resides ov-
