\ The census returns of manufactures in Rhode Island show that the per Acentage of capital invested in manu- facturing has increased 46.2 per cent since 1890, while the value of the pro- ducts has increased only 295 per cent. This Is not considered indicative of retrogression. The comparatively small increase in value of product is called due to the low prices of finished goods, and does not indicate corresponding Iy sfflall increase in the volume of pro- duct.

Wealthy Widow Refuses to Give
Up $4,000 Under Threat.
DETECTIVES TRAPS FAILURES.
Two Dscoys Sent TO Tho Lonely Spot Where
Money Was TO b Deposited, but No
Arrest Is Made.

Mishawaka, Ind. Jan. 2s.-Blackmaii-
ers. with threats Of blowing up her hons
and killing her. have made two attempts
TO extort money from Mrs. Wallace III.
Dodge, a wealthy widow who lives here.
Chicago detectives were employed on tha
case at the first instance, but so far
have failed to arrest the criminals.
Mrs. Dodge. whose husband was the
founder Of the Dodge Manufacturing
company and Mshawakas weaIthlest
citizen. received the first threatening LETT
ter week ago. II demanded upon pain
Of death to herself and wrecking OF her
home with dynamite. that she should de-
posit a box containing 5000 in bank
notes at lonely spot on the bank of tha
st. Joseph River.
The detectives were at once summoned
and one OF them. disguised as a woman.
carried a box to the designated spot The
trap failed TO work. Two men were seen
near the place. but they took the alarm
from those who accompanied the decoy
and dsa ppeared.
With the idea that the criminals might
be caught Mrs. Dodge and the detectives
kept the matter a secret.
second letter of the same import
came TO Mrs. Dodge on Saturday morn
ing. This letter repeated the threats to
blow up the house. and contained some
vague reference TO family secrets and
reiterated the demand for 5000 10 be de-
posted at a similar place. Again the de-
tectives arranged a decoy.
This time a Mishawaka man I'm wo-
mans attire took out the box. but hs
and the police officers failed TO catch the
blackmaiers. II is said that the indis-
cretion of the detectives spoiled the sec
ond attempt.
Mrs. Dodge has no idea concerning tho
identity OF the men who are attempting
10 blackmail her. She declares that she
has no enemy. and is in quite a state OF
fear that the local police officers are
now guarding her home. She insists.
however. that she will not pay cent to
the criminals.
According to the rumor here the same
gang OF blackmailers sent a letter like
those received by Mrs. Dodge TO another
wealthy man In the town, demanding
5000 He and his wife. II is said. paid
the money on Christmas evening, and
have not been annoyed.

SMALLER SCHOOL
BOARDS FAVORED.
An Interesting Report Made to Pub
lie Education Association by Prof.
Everett Last Evening.

Prof Walter G. Everett presented re-
port on the methods of school administra-
ton in the leading cities of the country,
at a meeting of the Providence Public
Education Association. held In Wilson
hall last evening.
The sum and substance of the report
went to show that there was marked
tendency throughout the country TO place
the administration OF school affairs In the
hands OF small boards and do away with
cumberson and unwieldy committees.
Several gentlemen participated in the
discussion that followed the report. and
all of them favored a smaller body. com
posed OF capable men, with the exception
Of Mr.. orsmus Taft. a member OF the
school committee.
Prof. Everett In his report said. among
other things:
"a recent writer In the Educational
Review found that out of 40 superintend-
ents OF schools in the larger cities of the
country only one expressed a preference
Tor large boards. The remaining 80 were
unanimous in the belief that the interests
OF education arc best served by small
boards.
Providence is apparently fourth on the
list OF cities which still retain large
boards, having 80. Cincinnati has 81 Grand
Rapids. %; Boston, "a Chicago and Mil
waukee, q each; New York. 10; Detroit.
II: st. Louis. 12; Baltimore. .: Cleveland.
8; ST Paul and Minneapolis, ! each: In
dianapolis and Toledo, each: San Fran
cisco. T.
"In Buffalo there is no independent
school board. The functions of such a
board are performed by committee OF
the city council appointed by the presi-
dent OF that body.
"A fact of significance is the growing
conviction that school boards should be
elected or appointed without regard to
ward lines. In not a single one or the
many proposed schemes for the reorgan-
ization OF school boards which have been
examined is this feature retained.
"It is universally acknowledged that the
influence OF ward politics is "a demoraliZ-
ing agency I'm school administration and
that tho limitation in the choice of MEM
bers which the recognition Of ward lines
imposes often prevents the best possible
selection I'm any city,
Inc report concludes by saying: We
unhesitatinply believe That " the present

taken away from the school COMMITTEES
