joined the '35 who walked out of school yesterday morning as their mark of loyalty to their principal Leander Jackson While the number of striking stu dents increased and the frame of mind of those oii strike already indicated that this number even would be in creased within the next 21 hours the principal of the school reported for duty as he had said he would do when he first was notified by the selectmeh that his services werd no longer required The deposed principal reported to rancis Harrington state education department supervise who after re ceiving Principal Jackson informed him that he would not be permitted to take charge of his duties at the high school whereupon Principal Jackson left the building It Is the intention of Principal Jackson to report for duty each day until the controversey be tween the school board and himself is brought to a head and definitely set tled While their principal was attempting to regain his berth the pupils hied themselves to nearby ponds

o'clock tomorrow morning when Gov Channing Cox in one of his last duties before retiring to private life will administer the oath of office to the elected members of each branch following which the Senate and House will organize for the year Preceding the formal opening of session there will be caucuses by members of each branch oivided cording to their political party for purpose of choosing leaders for sessions of 1925 and 1926 Choosing a leader by the members of the ma jority party the Republicans in each branch means the naming of the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House In the case of the minority party members the Democrats it means the selecting of Senate and House floor leaders Senator Wellington Wells of Boston at the caucus of Republican senators scheduled for 10 will be chosen as the new president of the Senate succeeding rank Allen who on Thursday will be inaugurated as lieutenant governor The Demo cratic senators barely a handful have not yet announced whether they will hold a caucus Being such a hopeless minority in a body of 40 members there is not much honor in the posi tion of Democratic floor leader If a caucus is held however and a formal vote taken Senator William I Hen nessey of Dorchester will probably be the choice Representative Jahn Hull of Iominster who has served in the House continuously since 1916 will be chosen by the Republicans as speaker The Republican House caucus is als scheduled for 10 o'clock and while there are many murmurings of op position to Mr Hull it is no secret that he has a large majority of the pledges of the Republican represents tives The House Democrats in caucus at 10 o'clock will probably choose Rep resentative rancis Coyne of Dor Chester as Democratic floor leader al though the

which he shattered three records and conquered decisively the pick of 'his American and innish rivals Ray' Battles Hard Nurmi opened his epoch making performance by racing to triumph in a mile race in which he defeated by a narrow margin his greatest American rival Joie Ray Less than two hours later he' returned to the boards to run away from his countryman Willie Ritola at 5000 meters in a race fought out exclusively between the two doughty inns Nurmi shattered two of his records in the mile' run and the third in the 5000 meter race and in each instance he displaced standards which Ray former king of American milers had put oii the record books His time for the 1500 meters was 356 1 5 as compared with for mer record of 401 3 5 made last year while at the mile time of 413 3 5 clipped a full second from the old mark Ray established in 1919 Nurmi concluded his unprecedented I right to while it is conscience what he believes to be a moral ground and then ho must subject himself to the penalty provided for violation if the regularly constituted authorities decide that(hls opinion is Mr Gary described what he said was an almost universal delusion even among well intentioned persons which sought to justify discrimination be tween laws upon the assumption that all laws should be obeyed except those which especially affected such per sons thought cannot be brushed ho said is vital If one man shall secure an exemption from prosecution or punishment for vio lation of the law which especially af fects him than another will insist that he is entitled to the same privilege in reference to another law If the idea is carried to its logical sequence all laws willbe disregarded and in the course of time we will return to the condition of olden times when mere might was substituted for absolute right course we shudder at the thought We consider many offenses less in moral turpitude and that the punishment should be less severe but tlie wrong in a lesser offense might

Discovered Near Water wheel at Warren Mill May Be Charles CzinLa Missing Since October 1 Warren Jan 6 badly decom posed body of a man was found at 530 this afternoon by Albert Gondek and Anthony Leska in the raceway near the water wheel at the Warren YVoolen mill The body' was discov ered as the men were about to shut down the water wheel At first they did not know what was in the water but after poking with a long pole the body wm brought tc the surface Medical Examiner Charles A De land was called and had the body re moved to undertaking room where he later made an exam ination The body was badly decom posed but was intact except that the feet had been cut off or torn off at the ankles There were no other apparent injuries The medical examiner could find no positive identification marks The clothing was badly torn and worn from the action of water or other The body had evidently been in the water for a long time possibly for a mouth or even more the medi cal examiner said He found $9 in bills and some in the pockets and a few small keys which may help to identify the body' Some think the man may have been struck on the railroad track and the body thrown into the river from thp railread trestle There Is a hole in he grating at the end of the raceway which would allow a body to pass through Others think it possible that he could have fallen into the tank near the water wheel As soon as the story was noised about various persons began to sur mise that the body might be that of Charles Czinka who disappeared about October 1 He was employed in the night crew in the picker room at the woolen mill It is claimed that he worked a short time the night he disappeared and had not been since he left the mill The general description as to size appearance and clothing appears to agree with that of the missing man The medical examiner however refused to accept the identi fication as final and others will be asked to view the Body tomorrow at 9 Mr Czinka lived at West Warren
