SERIOUS CHARGE.
indictments Against Teachers of Deaf
and Dumb Girls.

Fredericton, N. b., Jan. 16.-In cir
cult court before Judge Mcleod, this
morning, Hon. H. A. McKoewn, repre-
sentihg the crown, presented indict-
ments against Prof. Woodbridge, his
son, Norman and Ernest Powers. Prof.
Woodbridge and Powers were superin-
tendent and assistant superintendent
of the Fredericton Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb, and the indictments
charge them with immoral acts with
deaf mute girls who We're under their
charge.
The indictment against Norman
Woodbridge is the same except that
he was not in authority at the school.
None of the three were in court. this
morning, and the Woodbridges are
stated to have gone to the United
States.
The indictments follow charges made
against the institutions management
by the Daily Telegraph of ST John.
The grand jury is still considering the
matters presented to them.
The grand jury was out all the af-
ternocn and evening taking through an
interpreter, the evidence of eight deaf
mutes girls. AT 1915. tonight, the jury
returned true bills against Supt. Wood
bridge in two counts; against Norman
Woodbridge in one count and against
Assistant Supt. Powers in four
counts.
The jury also recommended that the
government establish and carry on a
school for the deaf and dumb in this
province instead of sending the affiict-
ed children to Nova Scotia school at
Halifax. The jury was discharged and
court adjourned, nothing being said as
to future action.
1t is understood that both Wood
bridges are in the States and Powers
Is in England on his wedding trip, hav-
ing been married only couple of
months ago.

New York. Jan. 16.-Word reached
this city, this evening, that the Ameri-
can line steamer st. Louis, from South
ampton, Jan. g. for New York, was
sighted off Nantucket Lightship at
$40 P. NJ, going dead slow.
Signals were made to the South
Shoal Lightship, but owing to the fact
that a heavy gale was blowing they
We're unintelligible.
The SLOW rate of speed at which the
st. Louis was travelling indicates that
unless she should be assisted she will
not reach New York until late Satur-
day night.
Appearances indicate that the ST.
Louis was short of steam power and
the signals We're thought to imply that
trouble with her boilers had been ex-
perienced.
Clement A. Griscom, Jr., said to-
night, that the agents of the line had
heard nothing of the St Louis beyond
the fact that she had been sighted 1t
was not considered necessary. he said,
to dispatch a vessel ITO her assistance,
rs if aid be needed, the st. Louis will
nave ample opportunity to signal for it
when she arrives off Fire island He
does not expect that the st. Louis will
reach Sandy Hook much before noon,

for such purposes, does not appear.

Seated behind two attractive young ladies was a goodnatured, fatherly-looking German enjoy ing a nap. The young ladies were engaged in an animated conversation, and finally one in- quired of the other:
 '" How many children have you?"

 " Oh, I only have eighteen, replied the first.
 "At this point the German, now wide awake with astonish- ment, leaned forward and with out any formality inquired in an audible tone:

COST OF LAND IRRIGATION.

What irrigated land is worth after redemption is the factor that counts in figuring up the cost. Some of the Washington dispatches have called attention to the expected increase in cost of irrigation of the western lands which the interior department designated the other day for the first construction under the na- tional irrigation law, pointing out that the cost is double cer- tain estimates made during the discussion of irrigation, which were placed at s an acre. Five dollars would undoubtedly be a low average to place upon all the reclaimable western lands. But whether the irrigation works which the government is to con- struct in the west will cost at the rate of s5 an acre or S13 or
