SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nov. 7.-Rela-
tives of Arthur Lovemore, a 12year-
old pupil in the public schools at Cor
rectionville, will Immediately institute
criminal proceedings in the district
court against Professor Thomas, SUI
perintendent of the schools, on the
charge that he compelled the boy to
stand up in the presence of the whole
school, smoke twenty cigarettes one
after another and to swallow all the
saliva while he was doing it.
The relatives will set up in their pc
tition that Thomas compelled the pu-
pill to smoke the cigarettes, as punish
ment for the alleged crime of smoking
upon the schoolgrounds, and will
charge that it made the boy deathly
sick and permanently injured his
health.
The affair has created a sensation
in Correctionville and the charge
against the superintendent has aroused
much Indignation, the popular feeling
being that the punishment was wholly
unwarranted.

presence of mind of Mrs. Horace
Spaulding, residing few miles south
of La Crosse, saved the lives of a Bur-
lington train crew and averted prop
erty damage amounting to thousands
of dollars.
Mrs. Spaulding was awakened by a
passenger train in the night, arose and
looked out of the window. A bright
light north of her home along the route
of the Burlington attracted her atten-
ton and investigation revealed the
fact that a small bridge was burning
fiercely, presumably having caught
fire from the sparks of the passenger
engine.
Hastily saddling pony, Mrs
Spaulding urged it into mad gallon

darkness, arriving at the junction just
in time to stop an approaching freight
train before it reached the bridge.

Anna Held Admits her Beautiful Eyes
NEW YORK, Nov. Anna He1d's
eyes have involved her in lawsuit.
That they are beautiful there can be
no doubt, for the formal complaint in
the proceedings says so. Moreover,
the complaint is sworn to by Miss
Held herself
In May Miss Held loaned a paint
ing of her eyes for the purpose Of hav-
ing their beauty duplicated. When the
painting was not returned she held a
firm of photographers responsible. She
alleges that she has been damaged
$4,000 worth. In her complaint Miss
Held deftly throws the following bou-
quet at herself:
THAT among the other charms of
the plaintiff are her eyes, which are
considered extremely expressive and
whose beauty has been commented on
in this country and Europe for so long
a time as she has been appearing be-
fore the public upon the state in the
said countries

The school body asserts that the
fraternity orders are causing retro
ship of the high schools" The frater-
mites cause the creation of cliques and
factions which destroy the unity and
democracy of the high school life, it is
said, and it is stated that the opinion
of all the educators in Chicago is
unanimous in demanding the abOli-
ton of the Greek letter organizations
as injurious to the public school sys-
tenn. The societies have chapter houses
or club rooms, it is declared, and the
moral effect upon the members of the
society is characterized as injurious

The board of education also makes
the statement that while the athletic
teams, representing the high schools
should be composed of pupils who show
the most proficiency in the respective
sports in competition with their fell
lows, the secret societies have caused
