CHEATS ON THE LIST
Frauds That Are Practiced by
Would.Be Teachers of the

Trade and Wants to Rue
Indiana State News.

indianapolis, March 24.-During the
every county in the state for teachers
license the county superintenCents.
under instructions from State Super
intendent F. A. Gotten, will keep a
careful watch over the candidates for
license, to prevent fraud. The depart
ment of public instruction has discov-
cred, in grading manuscripts. that the
veriest sort of cheating is done in the
examinations. To prevent this, Cot
ton. in letter to the county superin-
teEdents, has instructed them not only
to keep careful watch over the ac-
tons of the teachers, but to seat them
at such distances apart as to prevent
one candidate from assisting any 9TH
er.
One Way of Cheating.
The manuscripts sent to the state
superintendent from the same coun-
ty are placed together. The state SUI
perintendent has found that in many
instances two manuscripts will con-
tain the same sentences, and even the
same para graphs, showing conclusive
ly that one candidate has copied from
another. When this is found both
manuscripts are thrown out, the de-
partment assuming that there is an
understanding between the person
copying and the one copied from. The
applicants, however. are allowed to
take another examination
The Substitution Dishonesty.
1t has also been shown that appli
cants from one county have appeared
in another county to take the examina-
ton for a county license, giving the
name Of another applicant who Is una
bic, presumably. to pass the examina
ton. The license is then sent to the
person for whom the better educated
teacher substituted.
In the Very Cradles of Education.
In college and normal school towns
where the number of applications is
large and the county superintendent
has difficulty in properly watching the
| teachers, the department of public in
structiOn has instructed the county su
perintendents to hire watchers.

RETRENCHMENT ON ROCK
ISLAND REACHES LIMIT
Officials of the Road State That They
Expect Soon to Be Able to Re-
instate Discharged Men.

Retrenchment inauguTated on the
Rock Island system by Presidents
Loree and Winchell last January has
nearly reached its limit. The results
are felt in every department of the
road. In the accounting and auditing
departments at Chicago the forces
have been cut down from more than
300 10 less than 700. y large reduc-
ton in the clerical forces also has been
made. The men at New Shops are
working but five days a week. The
heavy and cumbersome methods which
arose out of the quick consolidation
that made the Rock Island system have
given way to the most simple admin
.stration devices in the hands OF the
highest possible force. The net saw
ing in salaries alone during 1905 is ex-
pected 10 be more than $500. 600.
The economy has been carried much
further. Nearly $50 of the company's
locomotives are out Of service. The
.OlUme OF gross business moving is
around 10 per cent lighter than last
year and the operating department has
aid away a similar percentage of its
motive power pending better business.
The company's officials. however,
say they expect to be able soon to
~einstate many of the discharged men.
Business is beginning to move more
Freely and a large tonnage is expected

les of the road TO the utmost capacity

claims that he became angercd. and,

yer from his pocket simultaneously,
the woman says that her husband

by her mother who came to the scene
and succeeded in driving Coquit from

Mrs. Coquit claims that life has
been almost intolCrable at times while
living with her husband. She alleges
that he was inhUman in his trCatmena
toward her and has beaten her at diff
fcrent times and also threatened her
life. CoQuit is q moIdor by trade and
