Toronto, Ont, July 19. Special.

Tha public School Board last evening took up and. debated until long after midnight Trustee Bell's motion to ask from the inspectors the names of all female teachers who have been riding bicycles "in male attire, commonly called bloomers." The storm of controversy that has raged around the subject since the notice of motion was put in might well have induced Mr. Bell to drop the subject, but be went ahead and said a good many things that were not pleasant to hear. Dr. Gullen, a woman member of the board, felt called upon to defend her sex against what 6he regarded as slanders, and got rather the best of the bout, the Bell motion being finally rejected by 13 to 6.

It was after 11 o'clock when Mr. Bell got a chance to move his resolution condemnatory of the wearing of bloomers by public school teachers. He charged the dress was not modest. The bloomer costume would never be worn by women generally because it must be worn by a well-formed woman, and three-fourths of the females of the country were not well-formed and would not care to wear a dress showing this to be the case. Woman to the Rescue.

Indignant and with flashing eyes Dr. Gullen sprang to her feet and asked the Chairman if there were no rules to require men to respect common decency in debate. To this Mr. Bell replied that he did not intend to go beyond the bounds of decency. Dr.

Gullen retorted she had not been educated in a medical college for nothing, but tha discussion was certainly not decent or timely. Mr. Bell said he was prepared to debate the matter with men, but there were females present and he would not proceed further. Mr. Roden took the floor, ridiculed the Bell motion, and said the bloomer would regulate itself.

The motion should never have been Introduced. The Chairman said Mr. Bell was entitled to some consideration for his courage at any rate. He then moved that to Mr. Bell's motion, "That the inspectors be instructed to report at the next meeting of the teachers' subcommittee the names of all female said the monthly expenditures exceeded the upon ner mind.

The condition of affairs near Ashland avs. nue and Diversey street is almost impossible to describe.

At the place menticied is aa old clay hole, the former site of a brick yard. Five acres had been excavated to a depth of thirty or forty feet before work was aban. doned, and the problem presented itself of how to restore the land to street grade. The problem is not a new one in the Twenty-sixth Ward, where numerous clay holes and btici yards have existed and still exist. The only solution found as yet has been to get tht Health Department of the city to declare the excavations a public dump.

In the first holej that were so filled the work was done with some regard to public decency and compli. ance with the ordinances and rules of the Health Department. Of late there appears to be no pretense of regarding public healia or of compliance with the law. The clay hole in question has been used as a dump for two years. A constant Btream of wazons loadea with foul garbage constantly dumping therein appear to make no impression on the size of the dump.

The attendants say th6 hole will be filled by fall the neighbors bay, judeing from the pat, it will be at least another full year before it will be ready for a light top roe sing of earth. At this dump yesterday was a swarm of flies which fairly darkened the atmosphere and for at least every dozen flies there was one dirty and ragged boy or girl delving shoulder deep in the filth for any article of apparent utility. The keepers of the dump say nothing Ls prohibited except human offaL Tee neighbors say after nightfall a generous fee will blind the eyes of the dump attendants. The odors discernible to the windward blocks away confirm the statements of the neighbors. Stench Is Unbearable.

Said a resident at the corner of Noble and Abhland avenues, half a mile away: After 8 o'clock at night when the wind is from the south we have to close every door and window in the house." Mrs. Heinrich Gehrcr, who sells beer within half a block of the dump, said: Ah, we are used to the smell after two years and do not mind it much. This dump is not as bad as in some of the other clay holes near by that have recently been filled. Thero is no more sickness in this neighborhood than any where else." Aid. Schlake lives at the northwest corner of Diversey street and Ashland avenue, almost directly opposite the dump, and is said to be in favor of filling the hole with anything that comes along, so long as it is quickly accomplished.

His constituents eay before his election he was opposed to the filling of clay holes with anything except earth from excavations and coal ashes. Charles L. Rafoth was seen at his office, AshWnd and Xoble avenues. He said They make a great hue and cry about some of the wealthy Aldermen levying tribute as small as $25 from individual ice dealers for the privilege of cutting ice from these holes unmolested, but if they would investigate the source of revenue from these damps they would find bigger game. The owners of the smaller clay holes pay the city $600 and $300 for having them filled, and I have no doubt the city will receive from John the owner of the site ot the present dump, $5,000 or For dumping ashes, manure, and other material the city exacts of teamsters hauling from outside the ward a fee of 25 cents a load.

As soon as he arrived and saw the condition of things, as he testified before the Coroner's inquest, Mr. Keith made up his mind they had been poisoned.

He went out into the yard and met Dollie and asked her what she had ben doing to the old people, and she denied everything. At last she led him out in a little strip of woods and got the box of poison and admitted to having put a small quantity of it into the coffee, but she said then it was not her fault and when asked by Mr. Keith whose fault it was named Josie Derringer. The Coroner and Sheriff Stillwell have learned since that Miss Derringer first revealed her plans to Dollie July 3, and Sunday following that day Dollie says she received two letters signed by Hayes Robbins. The contents of one she remembered, to the effect that he said to her if she could get the property willed to her they would get married, build a new house, and hire Josie Derringer to do their work for them while they rode around having a good time.

They crossed the ferry to Glen Island and applied for work, saying they were college students from Pennsylvania. To all appearances they were good young men with pleasing manners. They said they were John and Peter Carl-ston, brothers, 20 and 19 years old. Both wore glasses and were of light build. They were of dark complexion and had 6hort black hair.

The elder, John, was engaged as a waiter in the caf6. He refused, however, to take the position unless his brother was engaged also. This was done, and they were given a room together. The Carlston boys" park together. Outside they began to discuss the relative merits of their respective home teams.

considerable wrangling the Boston lad caught up a handful of dirt and threw it at his opponent. This resulted in a fight. A large crowd gathered and the city in the courts end has succeeded la securing injunctions against Ferdinand Heia-raann and Henry J. Liutter, owners of two offending excavations. After the injunctions cheered the combatants.

Finally the boy from the Hub got the worst of the fight and would have to be established that the bloomer was a modest dress. It was a question whether it was or not. Mr. Bell had a perfect right to bring forward his motion. Arguments Pro and Con.

James Burns opposed the bloomer. Dr. Hunter related a story of a fall of a young lady through her skirt catching on the wheel, and eaid it had converted him to the bloomer. Dress did not make immorality. He would rather leave the judgment of the bloomer to the 500 bicyclists of the city who passed bloomers without blushing than to the board.

He agreed with Dr. Gullon's indorsement of the costume aa a safe one. She was a woman respected by everyone in Toronto and a disrespectful word said to her would be resented by every member of the board. Applause. Mr.

Fitzgerald strongly supported Mr. Bell's motion, and expressed resentment at the tone of the Chairman's speech. Then Mr. Bell said the fathers and mothers in his ward had indorsed his action. In emphatic words he said the Chairman was no gentleman.

Mr. Hodgson, in the chair temporarily, refused to allow this attack on Mr. Hambley to proceetl any further. Some further sharp passages between Mr. Bell and Dr.

Gullon took place, in which the latter accused Mr. Bell of slandering the woman who wore bloomers. Mr. Rent regretted extremely the introduction of the motion. Dr.

Spence said what was now considered immodest would probably soon be regarded as modest. The matter should be let alone. He had never seen a woman in bloomers in Toronto, but would vote for information. The vote on Mr. Bell's motion was then taken and defeated by a large majority, as already stated.
