CHICAGO SCHOOL CHILDREN
DRAW THE COLOR LINE
Organize Strike Under Belief That
Dark Skinned kindergarten As
sistant Is a Negro.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Fifty boy
pickets stationed about the McAllis-
ter public school here prevented pu-
pills from entering to-day. None of
the pickets is more than Is years of
age.
Outside the picket Gordon a crowd
of 700 boys and girls hooted and
yelled at the teachers looking from
the school windows.
Every infant striker wore q badge
to show that he or she belonged to a
union" Some of the badges were
merely scraps of paper with the word
union scrawled across it. Others
wore union buttons which their faith
ers had worn. Many of the strikers
carried clubs. They threatened vio-
lence against any child daring to en-
ter the school yard.
After a detail of six policemen had
been sent to the school to preserve
order the strike" was settled" A
committee appointed by the youthful
strikers" learned that the rumor of
a colored teacher having been en-
ployed in the kindergarten class of
the school was false. About 80 per
cent of the strikers went back to
their classes. Truant officers began
a search for the absentees.

TEMPEST RACES
IN PUNCHBOWL
Growing ClamOr Over the
Disappearance of Kaiser's
Gift to the Kearsarge
INQUIRY BEING MADE
Captain Hemphill May Be
Subjected to Discipline
by the Navy Department
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-What is
now known as the ''punchbowl tenn
pest" in which Captain Jacob H.
Hemphill figures as an important fac
tor, has stirred the Navy Department
to amusement and no little concern. 1t
has been years since an incident of this
kind has created so much naval gossip.
Already an informal investigation has
been quietly begun in the Navy De-
partment and, although no protest has
been filed, and no orders issued bear
ing on the case, the inquiry may take
on a formal and official character.
Captain Hemphill will have to explain
why he took from the battleship Kear-
sarge the punchbowl presented to that
vessel by the German Emperor.
Assistant Secretary Darling, acting
as secretary in the absence Of Morton,
and Rear Admiral Converse, chief of
the Bureau of Navigation, both said
to-day that they knew of no record in
the Navy Department permitting Cap
tain Hemphill to accept gift from the
German Emperor Both officials, how
ever, were 10th to believe that Captain
Hemphill had committed any irregu-
larity, and it was suggested in the
office of the Assistant Secretary that
perhaps he had simply taken the En-
peror's gift ashore temporarily to ex-
hibit it to his friends. There was,
however, only one opinion at the de-
partment in regard to an officer of the
navy accepting for himself such gift,
and that was that it was unquestion-
ably in violation of the statute bearing
on the case.
If Captain HemphilI claims the punch
bowl as his personal property and has
his name inscribed on 1t, it is regarded
here that he has either taken it from
the ship without due process or he has
violated the statute prohibiting the &C
ceptance of such a gift from foreign
ruler. On either horn of the dilemma,
he may be liable to investigation and
discipline.

FEW ARE AGAINST PLAN
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO, Sept. 2S.-The residents
of Sausalito voted to-day to issue bonds
to the amount of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of constructing two modern school
houses and procuring necessary furni-
ture. Great interest was taken in the
election, as Sausalito has grown rap
idly in the last few years and has felt
the need of greater school accommoda-
tions. The result of the election was
23S votes for the bonds and AZ against.
The election was called by the Board
of Trustees of the Sausalito school dis
trict. Town Trustee w. J. Martin,
Father Valentine, Mayor Thomas and
other philosophical citizens led the
fight for the bonds, and 1t was due to
their efforts that the proposition was
carried by almost a unanimous vote.
Sausalito Is sadly in need of better
educational facilities at present. The
classrooms are crowded and vote
against the issue of the bonds would
have been detrimental to the town.

is perfectly willing to have his actions
in this respect fully investigated and
felt that the result would prove to
the public the business of his actions

q paralyzed condition from his eX-
perience in the straitjacket the War
den replied that Stroh himself could
best answer that question and or
dered Captain Swan to conduct The
Call representative to the incorrigible
cell in which the prisoner is confined.
Stroh is one of the seven who are sui
fering solitary confinement in the iron
y
building of the great penitentiary.

twenty feet to where the reporter was
standing and showed no signs of loss
Of power in any part of his body. His
carriage was erect and free and he
looked anything but A paralytic. When

lv shook hands and then very freely
answered the questions put TO him.
He stated that he had been in the
straitjacket on and off for about 12O
hours. When asked how he felt he
said.
oh, pretty good
He denied that he was carried from
the straitjacket TO his cell.
Why" he laughingly said, Il

Of stairs and when we got to the top

course suffered in the jacket, but
without evil effects"
This ended the interview and Stroh
was again locked up in his solitary
cell.

is = second termer. now serving TWEEN
ty years for burglary. For some time
he has been suspected by the prison
officials Of trafficking in drugs. Their
suspicious were confirmed when they
found upon him a vial Of morphine.
