Last night the school was ransacked. The offenders have not yet been caught, nnd the clue is a lntii of burnt matches lying around the 1 floor of Principal William L. Pelter's office. It is thought that whoever entered the anteroom and office of the mind- lai or me eenoOl, did so with the OD" tahinu- some of the rent's ex- nation papers.

Chairman. -DECLARATION BADLY SPOKEN. "Mr. Elder Doc.s Not Vndrrstand," De clarcs William Hamlin Chllds. Prefacing the statement with sharp attack on the "declaration of principles" adopted by the National Committee at Chicago, at whose sea-sions he was present, Robert H.

Elder, chairman of the Kings County Pro. Blfaatva organization, announced hla intention today of calling a meeting-of the county committee for soma day next week for the purpose of getting an expression of views from tha members of the local organization. "In my opinion the 'declaration of principles' was badly spoken," declared Mr. Elder. "I don't agree with the declaration regarding preparedness and war hy any means.

I think that any proposal to increase our present annaincnl is mere folly, as I don't think any of the nations of the wo.1,1 are in a position to attack ua for fifty years or more. "I don't i lil ii cither, that the criticism of President Wilson and his policies was well founded. The declaration regarding business and the tariff I do agree with. I think that It Is tha right and only proper one for the people of this country to take." Regarding the proposal made by the Progressive leaders to fuse with the Republicans, the Kings County chairman refused to express an opinion. "Pll have something to say on that at the meeting of the County Committee," he promised, "I want to let the Kings County Progressives speak for themselves.

I don't pretend to spea for them." "Mr. Elder doesn't understand, that's all," declared William Hamlin Chllds, county leader of the local Bull Moose forces, when told of the chairman's attitude. "The proposal to fuse does not mean an amalgamation. It doesn't even mean that we're going to unite on a Republican. What's the matter with geiting behind some good, strong Progressive?" Mr.

Childs did not say who thlsj Progressive should be, but he hinted Ovster Bav. Other prominent Kings County Progressives were not so guarded in expressing their sentiments, however Charles S. Aronatatn and Jesse Ful. Ier Jr. both expressed the conviction in positive terms, that the "compromise candidate" would be Colonel Roosevelt.

As to what effect a fusion would have locally on the Progressive organization there Is considerable difference of opinion. Mr. Elder refused to express himself on that phase of the question. Mr childs stated quits t'rankiv that he did not know. Mr.

Aronstniu. while holding that the ac-. lion taken at Chicago did not. hava such an idea in view, admitted that it might be taken by many as an invitation to return to the Republican, fold, and Mr. Puller also thought IIP ould be a in that direction.

It was pointed out by the protesting doctors today that they had stood llrmly together in the tight, and that on Ihe now- staff there wore only eleven members of the old board of tifiy-two. four of whom were assistants, Frank Harvev Field, attorney for Commissioner Kingsbury, is busy rawing up uie papers ior me i libel suits.

the Commissioner made it quite clear that the proposed change is the result of a new and comprehensive plan for the reorganization of the medical service in all of the hospitals under this jurisdiction, and that It Is not to be considered In any way as a reflection upon the men themselves. "TH reciii male': inc pian is aiso one niai was immended bv the board of F.sti-e's Committee on Inoulrv into Uellevue and Allied Hospitals that conditions two or three years ago.

This letter was not In answer to the protest forwarded yesterday, but to the earlier protest of the doctors. The objections to the Kingsbury plan, as summed up in that protest, were as follows: 1. Centralization, as proposed for back-ward.

2. The plan for reorganization would put the hospital into politics. 3. The plan would waste public funds. 4.

There the game is shown under "starlight." "moonlight" and "day-night" by the clever use of electricity.

That is. they will practice under the conditions of timed and slow fire as at Peekskill.
