JfiMMwiWHiw i Win im'i TESTS WILL BE GIVEN GUNNERS FROMMH F. A. First Section WiU Be Examined Sunday; Second, In May STRICT REGULATIONS! On Sunday afternoon at 'two o'clock in the Westmoor Armory, one section of those who have been attending the officers school of the 109th Field Artillery will be given examinations for the grade of first class gunner. Tho examination for hhe other section will be held about the middle of May. The" division of the school Into these sections was made several weekagdT" The Tfirsf which Is to be examined Sunday afternoon, has been under the direction of Captain Dominic J.

Sabinl. This section has been studying to make the grade with effecient work on the fire control Instruments with which the field artillerv is equipped. Under Captain Jamea F. Britting-ham, the other section has been preparing for the tests to be made for work on guns the grade of First Class Gunner being awarded in the two divisions. As speed of operation of the guns Is a prime requisite, the officers in this section will take ad-Vantage of several more weeks to familiarize themselves with the mechanism which must be used.

Examinations will be extremely difficult for both sections. They prove especially hard for members of the National Guard who have such a small amount of time to give the work. For thiB reason, for the past several weeks the officers school has been devoted to preparation for the tests and practice itl the work. Before It is permitted that a man take this examination for the grade of First Class Gunner, it is first required that he win the grade of Second Class Gunner. All the officers and most of the non-commissioned officers of the 109th have already done this.

Regulations laid down for the United States Army state that only one opportunity is. to be given each year for men to take this examination. However, due to the limited time in which members of the National Guard may work to prepare for them, it is believed possible to so interpret the regulations that another examination, may-iegiyen while the 109th is at camp this Summer at Tobyhanna, Politics Blamed For Charges Preferred (Continued from Page 1) just how low and contemptible men can be in desperation. It is a dastardly attempt to cast reflection on the present school board, but it will not succeed. "We will have a further statement later when time permits." Czajkowskl was appointed to serve untl' the first Monday of December, 1927, and was elected last November to serve a term of six years.

Adams was appointed to serve until the first Monday of December, 1929. Copy of Charges The petition charges that the said A. E. Adams, while serving as school director, received money for voting for the appointment of A. J.

Davis as principal of one of the township schools. This charge is backed by a copy of an agreement or receipt, alleged to have been signed by Adams which sets forth in part: "Witnesseth, that In consideration of the sum of $200, paid to the above named Anthony E. Adams, the re-' ceipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, Anthony E. Adams does hereby promise and agree to vote for A. J.

Davis for the position of school principal in the above named township schools." There is a similar charge against Stanley Cajkowski, with a copy of an alleged agreement or receipt signed by the defendant, alleging that he received $200 from Ralph DeHaven to vote for Mr. DeHaven as school principal. This agreement, which is set forth in the petition Is in part as follows: In consideration of the sum of $200, paid to the above named Stanley Czajkowski, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged. S. Czajkowski does hereby promise and agree to vote for Ralph DeHaven for the position of school principal in one of the schools in ths above named Hanover township." The petition further sets forth that both A.

J. Bavis and Ralph De Haven were appointed school principals In the Hanover township schools. Mr. Davis is still serving as principal and Mr. DeHaven is a teacher in one of the schools.

De Haven never served, although the petition savs he did. Mr. Cajkowski has been the secretary of the school board since his appointment iy the court in May, 1927. Both Mr. Czajkowski and Mr.

Adams are charged In the proceedings with unlawfully holding and exercising the office of school directors and the petition, which Is signed by District Attorney Lewis, asks: "The said Thomas M. Lewis, district attorney of the county of Lu-seren. makes this his suggestion and complaint against said Anthony Czajkowski, that a writ of quo-war-ranto ma ybe granted by your honorable court and be directed to issue against the said Anthony E. Adams and the said Stanley Czajkowski to show by what authority they claim to exercise the office of school director of the said school district of Hanover Township, in accordance with the Acts of Assembly In such case made and provided, Vtrdiet On Contrsot Two verdicts were returned late yesterday In cases tried before Judge McLean in common pleas court.

i Representatives Of Local 1703 Confer With Cappfclini 0ISTRICT HEAD TO ACT Complaining of not receiving recognition or consideration and that Sitrtaton police Interfered witk their latirnflance at the meeting, member of local union No. 1703, Pennsylvania Coal Company, Pittston, In Scranton today for conference with Rtnaldo Cappelinl. president, gave their version of the special meeting late yesterday when a vote was taken to remain idle. AntAvinp thn conference room It was said that an attempt will be made to withdraw the McGarry administration, now in control of the local union. This, however, was unofficial.

President Cappelinl was silent on the situation. "I have just returned from Mt. Carmel and did not hear all facts in the case," the district leader said shortly after noon. He admitted having been in conference this morning on the matter. "I will meet duly authorized committee men late this afternoon," he concluded.

The union leader stated he was -without full Information and could not comment on the situation before he gained all the facts. August Lip-pi, executive board member, explained there will likely- be a conference with A. K. Morris, vice president and general manager. He Intimated efforts were already being made to have this conference arranged.

Reports indicated Morris did not reply to such a request. Patsy Pagliacca, former president of te local union, is reported to have complained he was refused admission to the hall by police. He said he produced his credentials but was not able to enter because of the police officers. Further allegations 'are made if the Pittston police would keep within their authority and not attempt to interfere with the progress of the meeting there would be a restoration of peace and perhaps a resumption of work. Resumption of work at No.

6 colliery seems as far off now as it did -several weeks ago.Itia said motions to remain idle were rushed through without members of the local union granted permission to speak on the question. Only those favoring the motion to remain idle uptil the chairman, Frank McGarry, was recognized as check weighman, and James Lamarca as check docking boss at the colliery, were allowed the floor. Members of the local union, especially English speaking miners who ileman8d the floor with the exception of Thomas Griffiths were denied that privilege and the motion rushed through. The motion however was voted by an aye and nay. At the meeting last week when the vote to return to work was taken, the officers upon seeing they were defeated took three different kinds of votes before the motion was ordered carried.

Patsy Pagliacca, a former president of the local was questioned as to his membership in the organization and was ordered ejected from the building by one of the members of the grievance committee. The police saw that the order of the committeeman was carried out. Several other miners who are opposed to-staying the same route. Want a Committeeman English speaking miners today in commenting on the resumption of work at No. 6 colliery state that they liave not been granted any consideration at all, inasmuch as the grievances at No.

6 shaft consist of establishment of rates in the shaft and none of the miners are represented on the committee that is to investigate. It is made up principally of laborers they say. The miners question the right of laborers to enter negotiations for the establishment of rat as it does not effect the and they know very little as to whether the rates that would be arrived as could be operated at a profit to the miners. The situation as it now -stands at No, 6 Colliery is that the colliery will be idle until McGarry and La-msCa are recognized. On the other hand the company officials have taken tho stand that the same rates and conditions prevail at the colliery when work is resumed as when operations ceased on January 13, which includes the old check-welghman and check-docking boss.

Cappelinl declared "it is absurd that we are contemplating a court injunction to serve on the grievance committees from It was reported that the district leader, with Enoch 'Williams, secretary-treasurer, were planing such a 'move. Cappelinl made emphatic denial. INVALID GOES INSANE AND KILLS HIS WIFE Confined To Wheel Chair 14 Years And She Supported Him FIRED 3 SHOTS AT HER Miami. April 27.
