THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
The Investigation of the Cipher Tele-
grams Begun.
ET4 VIVA TROY or SETERAL WIT
NESSES.

WtWNGroN, January p. The Potter
committee to-day began investigation of the
cipher kilograms.
Clarence Carr, attorney of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, testified to the
kilograms being placed IN his possession by
the telegraph company, to avoid delivering
IN response to feared subppa. Finally, BY
direction OF the Western Union Executive
Committee, he delivered the messages to
Mr.. Whitney, the telegraph manager at
Washington.
I. Grant testified he selected the dispatches
called for by the subpoena, and placed the re-
maindcr back in trunk.
They were about evenly divided as regards
party. \ number were sent by u. Chandler
from Fifth Avenue Hotel. There were some
signed Elavemeyer, some Harper and others
Noycs. He thought Chambers messages
went to Florida, Others to New Orleans and
Oregon. He thought -, 900 of the tclt grams
were ciphcr,.
Leonard Whitney, telegraph manager at
Washington, testified to delivering dispatches
to inycstigating committees, their return and
final sending to New York in trunk per or
der of President orion
f. j. Holden was appointed to translate the
cipher kilograms.
Mr.. Young testified to burning trunk full
Of kilograms in New York.
SOnC kilograms between John Tyner and
john W, Foster were collected prior 10 any
subp~nas and sent to Washington at request
of President Orton. He believed they were
in relation to some political office, but was
not sure. They did not refer, however, to
the Presidential election.
Representative Evin, testified to having re-
cciYcd Il package of kilograms from Clerk
Bullock of the senate election committee,
which he subsequently gave IL Assistant

Chandler, as stated in letter from Bullock,
and said he did not know Chandler.

between Chandler and Tyncr, and from Eos
ter relating to the same matter.
Tyner autographed Chandler he wanted two
in the interior department al
$3.50 each, for which appointments certain
sums Of money would be paid. Tyner wish
ed the money deposited to be drawn in Indi-
ana.
Chandler autographed the deposit of the
money.
Garry recalled, when much time was con-
sumed in discussion as to whether the com
mttee should investigate the dispatches
which did not relate to influencing electoral
votes.
lli>cork insisted that the resolution asked
for an investigation only of certain dispatches
which were published, and were known
throughout the land.
1t was finally decided to investigate such
dispatches a came to the knowledge of the
committee.
Witness could not remember contents of
kilograms other than those referred to- and
those related to some dirty piece work for
political ends.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
INVESTIGATION.


New York, January "a. Congressman
Lynde, Forney and Frye, of the Davenport
investigating committee, arrived here yester-
day.
The committee intended to meet to-day,
but they were unable to secure the proper
rooms.
Congressman Frye says he has not been
consulted in any way by the democratic men,
bers OF the committee or by Mr.. Davenport,
and did not know the plan of investigation.
There was no interest over the investigation
in Washington. He thought there was much
''buncombe' in it, though Fernando Wood
claimed about 200 men had been shut up in
a black hole by Davenport, and they and
their families starved, and about l6, 600 more
had been intimidated from voting.

Free High school Teachers.

In the House, Jan. l6, bill was introduced
providing that no free High School shall be
deemed high school within the meaning of
the free high school act, unless ifS teacher has
rseeired a collegiate education, or ats eq",ra-
lent"
What may be the exact meaning and in
tent of this is not quite apparent. \ 'col-
legiate education is a very indefinite term to
use as representing the knowledge and skill
needed by the successful teacher. While the
law requires school committees to ascertain
the ability, knowledge and skill possessed by
an applicant for a teachers certificate, moth
ing is said about collegiate education or
its equivalent" being sufficient. Indeed,
committees know too well that a ''collcgiate
education" often proves to be 4 very poor
preparation for teaching.
The people object TO making a "cnllegiatc
education or its equivalent" the standard of
fitness to teach free high school. Some
thing more definite and satisfactory is re-
quired. The free high schools are to benefit
the people at large, to elevate the character
of the district schools by supplemcnting the
instruction there given. The high schools of
the past were not popular, largely because Of
college influence over them They did not
offer the greatest good to the greatest number,
but were too largely used as preparatory
schools for a few boys who wished to fit for
college at the tonas expense. As the result
of narrow course of study consisting prn-
cipally of Greek and Latin, but 4 small per-
centage of our grammar school graduates en-
tered the high school, and II smaller number
completed the course. Our city high schools
have extended their course OF study Civ
ing less time to dead languages and their
increased value TO the people who support
them is very manifest.
Thst ''colegiatc education" ordinarily
enables man to fit boys for college. is
granted but the peoples free high school is
to prepare boys and girls for the practical
duties of life, for citizenship. Many college
graduates are numbered among our best
teachers but their success is due rather to
natural ability and experience, thanto ''co-
legiate education" The large majority of our
best teachers have had no colcgc training.
There are about 100 free high schools in the
State, less than % per cent. of which pay
sufficient salary to support permanent
teacher. Seventy-five per cent. of these ru-
raj high schools must be taught by teachers
who can and will work part of their time in
the shop and on the farm. The man who
has spent the amount of time and money
requisite TO obtain collegiate education,"
and who has the ability and knowledge to
teach will not take one of these three n,oaG
nigh schools.
We demand more than an ''equivalent' of
of a "cOllegiate education" in sound knowl-
edge and teaching power. aptness to teach
executive ability; a thorough knowledge of
the common and higher branches which should
form the course of study in our high schools
is the test, not a college dipiomG nor its
equivalent w.
