ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 31. 1912. GITY WASTED 550.0000 N 1 SCHOOL So Declares Aiderman Warren. Built for Four Hundred and Has But Eighty Pupils. Alderman lames E. Warren explod ed a new bombshell in the bond issu* schools scandal today when he de clared that $50,000 had been uselessly spent for the Ashby street school in the First ward. The report of the principal of that school show? that during the past yea’ Its average attendance was only pupils, while its capacity is mor? than 400. When the school was being consider ed W. M Slaton, superintendent of schools, advised that the Walker street school would bp large enough to ac commodate hH the pupils of that sec tion. In other part? of the city man?' schools a'c badly overcrowded. The Ashfary street school v built over the protest of Superintendent Pla ton when are not enough pupils in that section Jo us* one-fourth of its » a pa city Education Board Blames City Council Indications tvdn; are that the join* meeting of the board of education and the bond commission Monday morning, called to consider the bad condition of the new schools, will be an extremely’ lively session. Members of the board of education have declared that all the schools avenin a terrible condition art! that the city has been robbed in prac tically every one of them. They’ re fuse. however, to take the responsibil ity*. denouncing the bond commiseion as a cumbersome body placed over them in authority. "If council had trusted the board of education as ft should have, each one of these schools would have been built from SIO,OOO to $15,000 less and they all would have been built well." said W. R Daley, president of the board today. Mayor Winn and member* of coun cil are thoroughly aroused over the gravity of the situation. Before the meeting Monday Mator Winn w ill hav ■ made a thorough inspection of all the schools. He w*lll demand that the con tractors and architects put these schools in satisfactory condition or ths* council immediately proceed to sue them for their bonds. The architects and contractors have been instructed to be present at the meeting Monday School Teachers Condemn Conditions Principals and teachers of the schools have been instructed not to talk for publication, but all declare the condi tions of the schools are disgraceful. Pieces of the plastered ceilings and walls ate continually falling <>n the pupils. On rainy’ days the rooms become al most untenable on account of the leaks. Because of this schdol officials are about to spend oil the money for re pairs. which w.as to have been used in beautifying the school yards. “Unfair," Declares Architect Dougherty. "Criticisms made public by the boat'd of education about the broken plaster at Lee Street school are manifestly un just and unfair to our firm and to Don aldson & Pearson, the contractors, In asmuch as we should have been given a chance to repair and make good any faults that had appeared,” said Edw'ard 1-”. Dougherty, architect of the school building, today in speaking of the. statements made by Colonel Walter R Daley, president of the board of edu cation. "The only trouble at Lee Street school came from broken plaster and that resulted from the natural shrink age of timbers in the structure. Had we been quietly notified we would have sent a man nut and had the plaster re paired in a day’s time." City Attorney Says Atlanta Can Sue. City Attorney May.won roHa> tilled that the city cnuld recover damages from both architects and contractors if the new school buildings uere not sat isfactorily repaired. Some nf th? of ficials doubted if the c ity cnijlfi for the bonds of the architects and con tractors sine? the schools had hern ac • cpted. Mi Max -con'* ruling means that if the contractors do not immediately r*» pair the buildings the Htx will demand in the < ou» ts that their bonds be for feited, and the architects^ill probably hr sued also.

Mrs. Bloomer today filed a new suit for total divorce from Jacob Bloomer in Fulton superior court. Tw’o weeks ago the trio appeared be fore Judge Bell and told the jurist a’ strange story. Bloomer, who started the court action to set aside his wife's decree granted here, held the center of the stage. He told the court that he had waited in Louisville for a year fnr his wife to return and had received from her many honeyed letters assuring him of her swift and loving return. Then be found she had obtained a divorce. This de cree was held illegal. Bloomer Expected Her To Return. Your honor." said Bloomer. "I ex pected her back, and bad prepared an elaborate home-coming. The date of licr return was the anniversary of my binhday. ’ Then Bloomer told the court of his great disillusionment. Hi« wife, while keeping him content with written cm -IPMFPS. had gained a dh on e decree in Atlanta and was la.vishing Iter affe' - tions on Nathan Froelich, whom site had married Imre. Judge Bell annulled the divorce de cree, pronoun'lng M r ” Bloomer really the wife of Bloomer. Oespite the court's decision the wom an left tlie court loom on the arm of Froelich, while Bloomer sat among his lawyers and started after her "I never expect to go back to Mi Bloomer." she said. "T do not love him. He always mistreat' d me If I live with either. It will be witli«,Mr. Froelich. "Bloomer never married me except by common law. and he always refused to introduce me as his wife. He called me his housekeeper iti public. I married him to get a home -that was all.” Since the annulment of the divorce, Mis. Bloomer, so her .tttorneys assert, has never communicated with the mar. the court pronounced her husband. She has clung to Froelich.
