tary Irwin Shepard Of the National
Educational association estimates
that $4,000 teachers are in st. Louis
for the annual convention Of the as
sociation. Twice that number are
expected to be on hand when the con-
vention gets under full headway to-
morrow. Every state and territory
from Maine to California has sent it's
contingent Of educators. Tile south,
though It has it's own educational as
sociation as distinctive from the ma
tional association, will be well repre-
sented at the convention Of the latter
organization. California, Washing
ton and Oregon will be in evidence
and even the Dominion of Canada
will be represented by score or
more Of its foremost educators. Gem
eral headquarters Of the convention
have been opened in the Missouri
state building of the exposition. All
of the other state buildings on the
fair grounds are keeping open house
for the teachers from their respective
states.
The National Council Of Education
began its sessions this afternoon
with Frank A. Fitzpatrick Of Boston
presiding. The prominent speakers
before the National council include

education Of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition; N. G. w. Lagerstedt.

MRS. BR|NGG0LD GETS DIVORCE
AND TW0-TH|RDS OF PROPERTY

Degraw street, between Columbia and

When Borough President Littleton.
in answer to sharp ring of hia
telephone. took up the receiver he
was astonished to hear feminine
voice, evidently In great distress. say;
"Oh, please sir. won't you have De-
graw street closed between Columbia
and Van Brunt streets? My baby is
very i'll and the doctor says the only
way to save his life is to give him
rest, Every time a wagon rattles
over the pavement the .oise sends
him into convulsions. Please, please
save my babys life"
"All right. don't worry" replied
Mr.. Littleton. and In minute was In

close the street was promptly given.

the first, will result from the opera
tion.
Before the actual work of shoveling
the dirt is begun, however, thousands
of dollars will be spent in making
preparations for handling the gravel
as cheaply and expeditiously n possi-
ble. and with that end in view a bed
rock drain will be constructed the full
length of the claim and extending down
stream far enough to effectually carry
of all seepage that may percolate
through the dirt and alos the water
that will be used for sluicing purposes.
But very few bedrocg drains have
ever been constructed in the Klondike
on account of the expense attached to
such when the ground is over a few
feet deep.
j. j. Putraw of Seattle, who has
acted as Lippy's manager ever since
the first year of the phenominally rich
strike, has posted in the gold commits
sioner's Office to the effect that at the
expiration of 10 days he intends to ap-
ply to the mining recorder for per
mission to run bedrock drain from
the upper line of l6 through Is and IA
for the purpose of carrying off the
seepage water and water which may be
used for sluicing purposes during the
prosecution of open cut work on the
claim owned by Mr.. Libby.
After the application is granted the
preliminary work will probably be
begun at once, but whether, the drain
will actually be built before winter is
not known, much depending upon the
conditions in which the old drifts are
found.
Should the undertaking of Mr.. Put
raw prove as successful as there is
every reason to believe it will. there
is but little doubt that other of the
presumed to be worked out claims OF
Eldorado will again be handled in the
same manner and one of the richest
creeks of the world will once more
be veritable beehive of industry.

the party.

Vromer, who didn't seem to fear the
men.
Then the holdup men commenced
to swear and ordered that the women
produce. But none could.
Search them for their rings" said
the big highwayman. One Of the
other men then examined the women $
hands. but finding nothing he told
the leader the women should be
searched for hidden articles. The
leader seemed to be a bit bashful or
frightened. so he said to let it go as
he didn't believe they had anything
anyway.
Admonishing the women TO go to
their homes and not mention that
they were held up. the robbers sent
them on their way while they ran in
the direction of the fair grounds.
One of the women had a roll OF
bills hidden. When the robbers had
allowed them to proceed she breathed
q sigh Of relief.
The matter was then reported to
the police. but they have not been
able to catch the highwaymen.
The police have been instructed
not to give out any more news about
the reign Of terror. but keep 1t all
from the press.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
WITH A ROBBER

An actress will do almost anything
to get a press notice. Every year
diamonds and jewels worth thousands
of dollars are stolen from this or that
actress. The newspapers get the story
and the actress gets the advertising.
In Spokane it is not necessary to have
your jewels stolen. just get some bad
looking man to hang around the house
and the rest is easy. Miss Frances
Mount is the discoverer of this
scheme. Miss Frankie has been on the
boards about FIVE times. She is doing
speciality act at the Auditorium this
week with the Shirley company. She
is one of the six girls who have been
trained at the George Stone academy
for this act. She lives with her
mother at El5l4 Third avenue.
Frankie hasn't been held up-yet.
But she expects TO be. Her mother
reported today that on Sunday evening
as they were returning home from
the theater they were followed by =
"tall and a short man." Now these
two men, from this description, tally
with the men the police are supposed
to be looking for. There is but one
conclusion to reach. They are the
burglars. They did not molest frankie
and her mother but they might have
done so.
The next narrow escape frankie had
was on Monday night, when a neighbor
saw young men talking and planning
in front of the Mount house. "They
were there for no good" said Mrs.
Mount. They did not rob the house
that night-but they might have done
so.
On Thursday night as the couple
were returning from the theater an
elderly man helped them on the car
at Howard and Riverside. The man
rode with them on the Union Park
car as far as Denver street. The
Mounts left the car few blocks far
ther on, near Perry street. Ahead
of them was the elderly man. He was
standing behind a tree trying to con-
ceal himself. But the sparkling eyes
of Frankie spied him. The couple

Mrs. Carrie Bringgold is now free

to his one time wife. Judge A. g.
Kellam today handed down n decision
In the divorce case which has been
pending against the ex-detective for
some time. 1t grants Mrs. Bringgold
her divorce and awards her two
thirds Of the real property.
1t will appear from this that Otto
did not get the best Of the argument.
1t may be that Otto and Mrs. Bring
gold can get along now without re-
sorting to the courts, but should they
be unable to divide the house and lot
to suit they may again be before the
public.
The divorce was granted on the
grounds Of cruelty. The court held
that tho charge of cruelty was sus-
tained by tho letters which were
found In the recesses of the ex-
detectives trunk. Besides the two
thirds Of the real property. Mrs.
Bringxold was awarded all of the

Much Of the testimony in the case
was decidedly warm. Accusation
after accusation was made that Otto
was unfaithful. Although Otto was
strong In replying to these charges,
he never proved any inhdelity against
his wife. The money matters also
caused much wransling. The Bring
Colds evidently had no faith in banks.
They kept their coin, hard-earned and
otherwise, In tin can buried In the
rear OF their house.
Several years ago Mrs. Bringgold
went east. She worked the combina-
zion on the tin can and took the
money with her. Now the trouble
arose over how much she took Bring
gold ala not know for . certainty how
much was in the can. He estimated
that there was between $4,000 and
$4,000. When Mrs. Bringgold return
