CHINESE TO EE DEPORTED DEALER IX XABCOTICS DRAWS 4-YEAR SENTENCE. Heated words were bandied In tumultuous meeting of city school directors hela yesterday afternoon to investigate tne charge that Dennis Galvin. janitor in the girls' polytech nic school, and an employe of the school department for more than 11 years, was discharged recently for religious reasons. George S. Edmondstone, superin tendent of school properties, declared that he discharged Galvin because he had been a trouble-maker, and had refused to sweep up crumbs left by ffirls eating their lunches. He assert ed that Miss Edna Groves, super- viser of domestic science in the city schools, had complained to him con cerning tiie crumbs, and that religion had nothing to do with the discharge. Teacher Denim Statement. Miss Grove denied that she had ever made any such complaint or that she had even mentioned Galvin's name to Edmondstone. George B. Thomas, chairman of the board, asserted that he was present at the time of the conversation be tween Miss Gloves and Edmondstone and th:it he distinctly remembered her remark. Thomas Mannix, attorney repre senting Galvin before the board, called attention to the claim that E. F. Stuart, superintendent of jani tors, had admitted in a conversation with Galvin that a "probable reason' for the discharge lay in the fact that Galvin was a Roman Catholic. Director Thomas Accused. "I accuse you of discharging this CTMnFIVIT fiFTQ PAI I PACT man because of his religious views ' u ut, 1 UtIO wHLL CHOI and for no other reason," declared Proceedings to Send Prisoner Back to China Will Be Inaugurated by Authorities Tomorrow.

These two years were In addition to a two-year sentence imposed upon him last Octo ber for a similar crime, making a four-year stretch, for Federal Judge Wolverton declined to have the sen tences run concurrently. For years Chew Sim played a prom inent part in the local Chinese quar ter. He served as a president of the Suey Sing tong.

Eighteen school teachers have signed a petition say ing his services are entirely satis factory." "You say I am unfair and biased,' retorted Thomas. "I know why you single, me out. It is because I have had the courage to speak my mind on other occasions I have no prejudice acainst any man for his religious views and would not deny him a live lihood because of them. Some of you who have been so infernally against me think I have. I want to tell y.ou I haven't.- But I will say that there are some organizations in which no one is given a job unless of a par ticular religious belief. Galvin Uood Janitor. "Galvin Is one of the best janitors ' we have had. but has had to be han- - died with gloves. He Is a fine janitor, but seems to have a chip on his shoul der all the time.- He is hard to get along with." ; Edmondstone announced to the hoard that since he had been In charge of the hiring and firing of janitors which was since last De cember -he had discharged several Protestants without protest from any one that he had acted on religious grounds, and he said he had numerous Catholics in his employ. Danny Shea, he said, was one.- Shea was present and was called forward. Shea declared that Edmonstona had told him sonic time ago that he did not care what religion an employe professed as long as his work was performed right. "I'm a Catholic but he's never bothered me," volunteered Shea, who said he was taking no sides In the : present controversy. Report Wanted Tbarsdny. A C. Newill, director, introduced resolution to the effect that the board found that religion had not been the basis of the discharge; that Stuart had talked too freely, and referring the matter back to Edmonstone for report to the board Thursday.

More than 1400 men and 20$ women received employment through the municipal employment bureau during the month of April, according to the report of Arthur w.

It was shortly after 10 o'clock Fri day night when a woman called the baby home by telephone and spoke to Miss Lenore Kane, a nurse. "I have just left a day-old baby on your front porch; it comes from a good family," said the voice over the telephone. Then the receiver clicked. Baby Home Inspected. Miss "Kane hurried to the front porch and there found the tiny infant. weighing but four pounds and five ounces, in a new market basket and covered with two newly washed baby blankets. A hot water bottle, witn the water still hot, was in the bot tom of the basket. Belief that the baby comes from a well-to-do family Is enhanced from the fact that earlier in the week a fashionably dressed woman of about 45 years called at the baby home and made a careful inspection of th premises, as though she were plan ning to adopt a baby. This woman, who was veiled and who gave no name, asked bo many pointed questions about the treat ment of- the babies that Miss Ka'ne. who talked to her, and Miss Lenori Bennett, superintendent, both believe that she must be the grandmother of the baby girl left on the porch Fri day night. " . Kervouaneas Is Shown. Officials at the home said the wo man would ask repeatedly if the ba bies received good treatment and it it would be all right to leave babies there. She likewise betrayed an ex treme nervousness during her visit to the home. The baby has been named Arlene by Miss Kane, who found her on the porch, it being the custom to permit the persons finding these little waifs to select a name for them. In spite of her abandonment late at night the little two-day-old youngste- was in good condition yesterday and seemed quite contented with her new home. Under the state law the baby girl cannot be adopted into any home for a year. Officials at the nursery said yesterday that the law provides that the babies must remain at the or phanage for at least a year after they are abandoned before they can be taken for adoption. For this rea son any Immediate requests for the adoption of Baby Arlene Cannot be considered. day that she had been robbed of her handbag, -containing a diamond ring and $5 In cash.
