For the Accommodation of Soldiers ~ Victoria. School Pupils Will Be Cared For At Collegiate, 1 The Board of Education has plac- ed Victoria school, with the new ad- dition, at the disposal of the militia, department, for the purpose of houes- ing additional soldiers for overseas service. The pupils now in atten- dance at Victoria school will be trans ferred to the new addifion now be- ing built at the Collegiate institute, This was decided at a special meeting of the board held on Satur. day night, when the following resolu- tion, moved by Trustee J. G. Elliott, seconded by Trustee. W. J.' Renton was carried. "That this board cheerfully places at the disposal of the militia depart- ment, its Vietoria school building, that a special committee be named by the chairman to arrange all de- talls, financial and otherwise, with the military authorities, and that t property committee take steps complete the work in the Collegiate Institute building, so that the trans fer from. Victoria school may oscul after Christmas holidays," ~~ The special committee is composed of chairman W. I. Maeree, ana Trustees J. M. Farrell, P. B, Chown, J. G. Elliott and W. J. Renton. df. was necessary that the board deal with the matter at a speécia: meeting on Saturday, as the militia department had to have ag answer Monday on the guestion, gnd as other plates, including Brockville und Cobourg have been making a strong bid to secure the additional soldiers, this special meeting was cdalled by the chairman on Saturday night. The chairman, W. H. Maec- nee, presided, dnd the other members in attendance were Trustees F. R. Anglin, J. H. Birkett, P. B. Chown, W. J. Chapman; James Craig, J. (= Elliott, J. M. Farrell, Prof. A" Laird, Alan Lemon, Robert Meek, H. F. Metcalfe, F. Monk, T. W. Mills, A W. McLean, W. J. Renton, W. A Sawyer and J. R. Henderson, 'Mayor Shaw and Ald. R. E. Keni were present in regard to the matter ahd at the opening of the meeting the secretary read a letter from Ma yor Shaw in which he pointed out that Kingston had a chance to secure two meore battalions of about 2,500 more soldiers, but accommodation had to be provided for. He said that Ontario and City Hall would be offer- ed by the city, and the militia depart- ment had also been granted the use of the old Collegiate institute. It was felt that the hest accommoda- tion could be provided if the boara would grant the soldiers the use of Victoria school with the addition to it. : Asked about the present accommo- dation; Inspector Stuart said that of course the city was badly in need of the extra accomniodation which was bers at the last moment as it were. Trustee Parrel| said he would not want the school given for the use or 'the soldiers, if it would interfere with the health of the children if they would have to be crowded in sther quarters, He alsowanteddefin- Ate arrangements with the militia de- surtment regarding the use of the 'chool and the condition in which t would be left in. Trustee Meek did not favor giving he school over for an indefinite per- 0d. He said there were now three lasses in the old collegiate building ind that the scholars were suffering rom overcrowding. He did not hink it was right for the scholars to suffer just for the sake of a ma- erjal gain to the city. The board leo had a contract with Queen's Uni- versity to give them use of Victoria #chool .for the .classes in pedagogy. Ald, Kent said he could not see mything in the way for the board to give the militia department the use of Victoria school under certain conditions. Cobourg and Brockville rbwere doing all in their power to sé. cure the soldiers. This was a case of omergency and he thought the board should do something. Trustee Meek suggested that Cen- tral school be offéred to the miliiza department. There were ten rooms in this school and with the use of the old collegiate as well, there should be ample accommodation. Trustee Chown felt that to give up the school would be a great sacrifice on the part of the ehildren for which no amount of money could repay. He fett the school was badly needed and did not favor giving it up. Trustee Elliott favored giving up the school, believing that some sacri- tice should be made in this time of émergeney. 'The matter could be dealt with by a committee and ar- rangements made which would be suitable to all. Trustee Anglin sald he had not een convinced that it was necessary to give up the school for the use of militia. Trustees Metcalfe and tenton both favored the giving of the school bui Trustee Craig said that he was undecided on the question, Trustee Henderson favored landing over the schéol to help out the military authorities. He suggest- ed giving the school over to the city council to make all the necessary ar- rangements. The handing of the school over to the council, however, did not meet with the approval of the board. Trustee Mills favored the proposi- tion so long as the pupils did not suffer. Trustee McLean also favored the giving over of the school. As to Cen- tral school he did not think it would be satisfactory.

COMING TO THE GRAND. "The Appeal" Will Be the Feature To-night. During recent years plays present- ing scenes dominated by some great religious incident or thought, seem to have taken a grip on the thea- tre going public. Probably no play ever presented received the patromn- age awarded to "Ben Hur" while "The White Sister' and "The Gar- den of Allah" were also pronounced successes, While classed as a som- bre or religious play dealing with the present day divorce problem, not of the sordid type so often seen, but one full of great heart interest with plenty of wholesome comedy running through the whole plot. "The Appeal" will be presented at the Grand Opera House on Mon- day Dec. Tth. "The Chocolate Soldier." The phenomenal popularity of "The Chocolate Soldier" is due to thé fact that it is a radical contrast to the musical productions so com- mon on our stage, in which a single song is relied upon to offset.a hund- red other defects of libretto and score, It is a pure and rare speci- men of comic opera, and perfectly balanced combination of dramatic scenes, in which comedy, satire and romance are wittily blended, and su- perb songs, waltzés and marches, each typifying some passing mood of the action and each a genuine bit of melody. It will be at the Grand on Thursday, Dec. 10th. DEATH "ACCIDENTAL" INQUEST OVER REMAINS OF LATE REUBEN SPOONER, Who Met Death By His Rig Colliding With a Street Car on Princess Street, Saturday Morning. Glen- acci- That Reuben burnie, Spooner, of met dgath by being dently throwif* from the wagon in which he was driving, and that no blame could be attached to any one, was the verdict brought in by the coroner's jury on Saturday night. The deceased was an old man and driving a spirited pair of horses, and as his fur coat collar was turn- ed up, he did not see the street car until it was too late to avoid the collision that resulted. At 9.35 a.m., Saturday, Mr. Spoon- er was driving northward along Di- vision street with his daughter. Just at the corner of Princess street, car No. 21 in charge of Motorman Ovila Quesnel and Conductor J. wWilliam- son, was coming down at a moder- ate rate of speed. The frost in the rail caused the car to slip when the brakes were applied, and the car hit the wagon breaking the fender of the car-and the wheel of the wag. on. The horses turned sharply down Princess street and Mr. Spboner and his daughter were thrown out. Both were conscions when picked un, but before noon Mr. Spooner died in fhe general hospital of his injuries, the shock of being thrown heavily) on the road Coroner D. E. Mundell mn inquest, and the verdict tioned above was brought in Ovila Quesnel was the first wit- ness called, and among other things ¢itined that he reversed the mot-| «7 in his car in an attempt to s'up. ~ vert IL. Richards. a mail colie wor, was driving up Princess str .t at the time and gave his view of ' accident. J. Williamson, the conductor, felt! the brakes being applied by the mo- torman. Ernest Drawbridge, C. M Ross and Frank Langsford were standing on the back of the car and substantiated the conductor's evi-! lence. C. Martin, who was walking | near the scene of tlic accident, also gave evidence. Dr. J. F. Sparks gave the extent of the injuries to the deceased. There were three scalp cuts on the head and also bruises. He thought that the cause of the death was the shock] which a younger man might have withstood. Frank Heyman,driver for Andérson Brothers, who was standing on the corner at the time, spoke of the turned-up collar on Mr. Spooner's| coat, and showed that this prevenied the deceased from seeing the car. A. VanLuven, was driving behind Mr. Spooner and witnessed the acci- dent. C. F. Scott was walking down Division street and gave evidence ibout the accident. H..C. Nickle gave some technical, evidence about the power of the braking system used. During the inquest the question of | recommending that the cars stop on! the first crossing as is done in other cities instead of the second, was brought up. H. C. Nickle pointed] out that to stop on the first crossing would make the people get on and off the cars in the mud. The cor- oner reminded the jury that most of the: streets in the other cities men- ordered men- ay tioned had paved streets. A Good Programme Planned.
