SOME RAPID DEATHS
Army Officer Recltes List of
Special Fatalities

Army officers have an excellent OPP
portunity to observe customs and char
acteristics that obtain in various parts
of the country, and some of them are
more than surface students of the
curious things that are forced upon
their attention.
Il have observed said a captain Of
cavalry who is on detached service in
this city, and who has been stationed
all over the world within the past ten
years, that each locality or section of
this country has it's own pet fatality.
By that I do not mean that each sec
ton of the land has it's particular
method of homicide-what I intend to
show is that some one specific sudden
death is commoner in a given section
of the country than any other kind of
sudden death.
Tn the Philippines it is cholera be-
yond question. The yellow terror
strikes so swiftly that the patient is
scarcely aware of his illness before the
dead wagon drives up.
I'm China it is the black or bubonic
plague, which is. swifter and deadlier
than cholera. I have seen a Chinese
sit down on the curb in Shanghai and
in fifteen minutes be dead and turning
black.
In Japan it is beri-beri, which per-
haps is not quite as bad as either of
the foregoing, but bad enough in it's
way for all ordinary purposes.
Coming to this country, the great
cities are much more subject to streaks
of sudden death than the country. In
New York. it is apoplexy and organic
diseases of the brain, probably caused
by the strenuous life in that metropolis.
In Chicago it is WEAKNESS and pre-
senility, the result of living conditions
also.
I'm Kansas City on fine day, when
conditions are just right, one may OBJ
serve an epileptic on a busy corner
nearly any time.
During the heated season in New
Orleans, which, by the way, is about
nine months Of the year, people die of
physical exhaustion caused by efforts
to keep cool.
I'm Denver-but in charity I believe
/ will say nothing of Denver.
San Francisco has beautiful cli--
mate. 1t has the finest line of cold fogs
in the world and will finish any pull
monary patient in not less than ninety
days. But that is not the prevailing
form of sudden death in the city by the
Golden Gate. The air is dense and
moist because the city lies close to sea

CYCLONE A SLEUTH
Big Wind Turns Up Plant of
CounterfeIters

-Four counterfeiters' molds were un-
earthed by the cyclone a month ago
In the rear of the residence of w. o.
Beckwith, 626 Rondo street, and since
that time Capt. ]. w. Lawrence, agent
of the secret service, and Chief O'Con-
nor, have been quietly searching for
the owner, or owners.
Two days after the cyclone the
twelve-year-old daughter of W. o.
Beckwith picked up two small pack
ages which had been wedged between
the fence and tree in the back yard.
The girl examined the packages and
found three plaster molds for quarter
dollars. In the paper package was a
single mold. larger than the others, and
encased in wood.
Mrs. Beckwith sent her son with the
four molds to the Great Northern
shops, where her husband is employed,
and he Immediately went to the CEN
trail police station and turned the
molds over to Chief O'Connor... ..,..a
Capt. Lawrence assigned secret
service men on the case and the neigh
borhood was canvassed. Mr.. Beckwith
had been living at the house over two
years, and had no idea as to how the
molds had been placed in his back
yard. .a,, 80
''The case is one of the most peculiar
I have had for long time" said Capt.
Lawrence yesterday. 1.-THE only con-
clusion we can come to is that the
molds were planted where they We're
found, and it seems that they have
been there for about a year. 1t is pos
sible that the persons who used them,
becoming frightened, had hidden them
and had not returned for them"
The secret service men think that
the molds may have been used by a.
gang which flooded the city with
queer about a year ago.

acquiescence without reasonableness, and
that respect for authority and rightful
obedience are no longer required by them;
that teachers are too lax, exacting but
little by way OF careful attention to duty,
and thoroughness in results, and that
unnatural requirements and increasing
written work and examina tions are MAX
ing nervous wrecks.
JectS in clamorouS contention, in which
the chief arguments. seem to be You

and You are not We can treat all
this as easily negligible, except that we
cannot overlook the fact that the public
conservative members of the community
believe that whatever lies in the way
of the success Of the public school sys-
tenn must be recognized, and ultimately
work fails it will be because the teachers
could not rise to the plane of successful
effort.
Some Teachers Should Retire
There is another question, most deli
cate in it's nature, which teachers must
ask and answer for themselves, but they
should take the initiative; they should
never wait until it is propounded to
them. The period of retirement from the
work should be fixed by the teacher.
When should one voluntarily withdraw,
but particularly at what age. We easily
realize that if a teacher falls sicks. she

In brief, in order that the public school
system may be rescued from present
complications, and safely established, ably
administered and wisely improved, we
need great body of teachers, possessed
of excellent preparation, dominated by
noble purposes, sound Of body. strong of
intellect, in full sympathy with all hopes,

CITY NEWS
COURT SAYS ENGINE
MEN MAY WHISTLE
Judge Finehout Declares Oh.
soIete Anti-WhistIina Ord
nance Unconstitutional

The antiwhistling ordinance, passed
over twenty years ago and brought to
light recently by Health Commissioners
Ohage, was declared unconstitutional
yesterday by Judge Finehout. The
validity of the ordinance was cues
toned when three engineers of the Mil
waukee road, P. Doyle, C. A. Leckett
and Warren Search, were arraigned in
police court charged with blowing
their engine whistles within the city
limits.
Judge Finehout, in a written opinion,
sustains the contentious of F. w. Root,
the railroad company's attorney, who
defended the engineers that the ordi-
nance was class legislation; that it
placed. unlawful restrictions on rail-
roads, and that it contravened the pro-
visions of the charter granted the COM
pany by the legislature. The opinion
in part follows:
The Courts Opinion
The ordinance under which it is sought
to convict the defendant absolutely and
under all circumstances prohibits the

the city of Baltimore prohibiting the blow
ing OF the whistle of steam engine was

OF arms has been held unconstitutional,
but 1t has been held to be valid and con-
ing the carrying of concealed weapons.
such ordinances are regulations and not
prohibitions.
Second, this ordinance applying ONLY to
locomotive whistles is clearly and mani
testify class legislation, because the blow
ing OF whistles of steam and other en-
gines: factory buildings; etc, is more of
nuisance than the blowing of a loco
motive whistle.
The ordinance being in violation of the
company's charter by which the state
requires the company to blow their whis-
Ties before reaching any crossing in any
city Is in contravention of the require
ments of the state, and for that reason
is unconstitutional and void. 1t is IN
constitutional and void for the further
reason that the common council has no
right to absolutely prohibit without limi-
tation the blowing of whistle by loco
motive. 1t is unconstitutional and void
Tor the further reason that it is class
legislation in that the prohibition applies
only to locomotive engines.
can see no force in the suggestion that
because another section of the same ar
tcle requires a railroad company to have
f1agman at all crossings and that it
would not be necessary to blow the whis-
ties Whether or not it is necessary in
this particular case or any other case
would make no difference. The ordinance
is invalid and unconstitutional for the
reasons above stated.
The decision, it is expected, will
have an effect on the ordinance before
the board of aldermen which, if passed.

class legislation could not be brought

At the general meeting of the teach
ers of the public schools, held in the
Central high school yesterday, Supt
A. j. Smith delivered his annual adj
dress to the teachers. The head of the
school system pointed out a number
of weaknesses in the system, but con-
tended that the faults do not apply
to ST. Paul with any greater force than
to other sections of the country. He
held that improvements made must
come largely from the teachers. Supt
Smith made some pointed observa-
tons concerning the teachers. He
said in part:
System Is Expensive
1t is said that in no other country in
the world is there such an enormous ex-
penditure of money for school purposes.
And this leads business men to consider
whether it is within the power of the
municipality to support a system of pub

mands of civilization becoming more
and more complex.
plus money, and the demands made upon
the taxpayers are so many and so heavy
that an expenditure annually, of $3.50, 600
for schools seems an enormous sum. but
1t must ever increase, unless there be
radical change in school policy, or the
population decreases.
1t must be conceded that the schools
might be, if properly rearranged, managed
with less outlay of money, but we have
entered upon thoroughfare that closes
behind us and leaves US no option, in re-
spect to manag cement but to go forward
Another objection relates to the at
tempt to secure universal education. 1t is
claimed that from the first the under
taking to educate the promiscuous crowd
results in product below the average
possibility; that as the speed of, a fleet
is determined by the slowest vessel in
the fleet, SO the attempt to move the en-
tire group is determined by the slowest
among those forming it.
Cry Against FrIlIs. and Fads
We still have the discordant cry against
frills and fads-words long since obso-
lescent as applied to school work. On
the other hand we hear that too much is
required; on the other. that important
things are omitted; that overcrowding
the mind of the child is producing many
ills, otherwise avoidable, both durable and
incurable, and that the children have so
little to do in school that their heads
are filled with other things; that the
teachers impose heavy home tasks, and
that they allow no work whatever; that
they nag and wrong pupils, seeking blind
