HIGH SCHOOL GRAFT.
Teachers Accused of Working "Back-
ward Students for Big Money.

New York, June 2O.-Remarkable
charges that several teachers in the
WadIeigh high school in West One
Hundred and Fourteenth street have
used their positions to increase their
incomes through unnecessary private
tutoring are being formulated, accord
ing to the World.
Parents of some of the girl students
assert that several hundred dollars a
week have been exacted in fees at the
rate of 81 an hour, it being intf1nated
that the students markings were pur-
posely tamDered with and that they
were purposely marked backward =
when they were actually proficient.
The school is a public institution.
Most of the pupils are prepared for
the teachers training school The
course was recently heightened by the
board of education from three to four
years.
The cherished hope of nearly every
Wadleigh student is to teach in Man
haitian. Unless they can get their
certificates at the school they are
compelled to take a course in the state
normal school and later pass a diff
hCult examination.
An investigation privately made by
the father of one girl whose "back-
wardn ess" in algebra required private
tutorship indicated, he alleges. that
out of $500 pupils 10 per cent have
been declared backward" in some
study and pay on an average of $1.75
an hour for private" tutoring. The
authorities in charge of the high
school Indignantly deny the charges.

by the Police.

rious collision occurred last night be-
tween the police and the popuIace of
Chlodwigsplatz. The police received
orders for the eviction OF a tenant who
was behind in the payment of rent for
his house. An enraged crowd, num-
bering thousands, Assem- bled and some
of the tenants of neighboring houses
threw stones and other objects at the
police from the windows, while the
crowd in front of the delinquent ten
ants made riotous demonstrations
Finally the police drew their swords
and dispersed the crowd. but not be-
fore the rioting had lasted six hours

ROOSEVELT HELD UP.
Police Stop His Auto for Exceeding
the Speed Limit.

Washington, June 20.-It developed
today that President ROosevelts
chauffeur was overhauled for speed
ing yesterday afternoon while carry
ing the president, his son Theodore,
and two of the latter's friends along
the Conduit road to Great Falls. Two
policemen, considering that the chauf-
feur was going at speed greater than
that allowed by law, gave chase and
overhauled the automobile. When
they learned who the occupants were
they hastily withdrew after the presi-
dent cautioned the chauffeur to slow
up a little. The two policemen had pur-
sued the automobile for half a mile
and, on catching up with it, charged
the chauffeur with running at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour when
the police regulations permit but fif-
teen miles an hour. The policemen
notified the chauffeur he would be re-
quired to appear in the police court to-
day. when the president, who was in
the rear seat, inquired the reason.
The latter's identity by this time be-
coming known, the matter was drop
ped. Because of complaints of reck-
less riding Major Sylvester, the chief
of police, had cautioned the officers
along the road to watch out for Of
tenders. When the policemen started
after the automobile the chauffeur, it
is thought, probably concluded it was
part of the programme for the pro-
lection of the president.

the president has not taken a positive
step in this direction The impression
here continues strong that Japan only
with great reluctance could be in
duced to foregO the advantages Of her
strategic position which, despite the
tone of the official advices from the
front, is regarded as being altogether
favorable for Field Marshal Oyama,
and agree to a suspension of hostili-
ties for at least six weeks during which
time thousands of reinfOrceme ents
would reach General Linevitch and
VladivOstok would be strengthened
with munitions and supplies to with
stand siege. Indeed, it is suggested
that Japan deliberately planned to
postpone the meeting long enough to
give Oyama a chance to administer to
the Russians a fresh defeat on land in
order to rob the war party in Russia
of their last card and facilitate ac-
quiescence to their terms. Consider
ing the situation, therefore, President
RooseVelt's triumph Will be all the
greater if he could now succeed in
crowning his work by an agreement
which would at least prevent another
bloody battle pending the show of
hands at Washington.
At the British embassy the Asso-
ciated Press was informed that Britain
had not offered Japan any advice on
the subject.
Brigadier General Barry and his
colleagues, in view of the prospects of
a general engagement, are Fastening
to get to the front in time to witness
something OF the fighting They have
already called on several of the minis
ters. Tomorrow the American officers
will be received in audience by the
emperor at Peterhof.

so is the Topeka candidate. Last year
the Congregationalists had the oppOr-

Railroad Work
Progressing

trip TO the end of the old flume
just beyond Major Gardeners home,
will convince the people that the new
railroad is on the move and coming
this way fast. The grading teams
are almost at the crossing and they
are busy set. \ dozen big teams
are ploughing and scraping, putting
the grade into condition to receive
the ties and rails.
The bridges across the river have
been about completed and by the time
rails are extended that far they will
be in the best of condition. The
finest material and workmanship
have gone into the structures. From
the appearance of the bridge CON
struction it looks like the extension
was meant for something more than
valley work.
Above the lumber yard the railroad
people have several immense piles of
ties, so that the work of transported
ing them to the scene OF operation
will be but a short haul. At the old
roundhouse there is another lot of
material and in the yard in this city
all the available space is covered with
ties and rails. The promise that the
valley road will be in operation by tn,
first of the year seems to be in order.
To the old timers who witnessed
the original construction of the V.
* I. the work to the south of this
city would be of interest. Traction
engines and modern equipment are
used. There has not been a pound OF
powder used in the grading, while on
the Y. q I. the powder bill would
make fortune for dozen men The
new road is being built on as easy
grade as could be found, so that the
expenses of transportation will fall az
light y as possible. In fact the new
piece of road is is being made on
strictly modern lines and principles.
The day of the dump cart and the
pick and shovel have gone along with
the other old timers.-A peal

Nevada, Richer
lllil fsii
and Better
Than Ever.

The Nevada of today is a richer
state, better mining state. than it
has been in the past. The new de-
velopments are in districts which
were over run by prospectors in pion-
eer years, and in the years that fol-
lowed.
1t is perhaps fortunate that the
richest mines of Nevada were not dis
covered in earlier times, for with the
advance of science and the improve
ment .of mining processes, a much
larger percentage of the precious
metals will be saved to enrich the
present age.
The richness of some of the mines
now being developed at Tonopah,
Goldfield, Bullfrog and other points,
is simply marvellous. Millionaires
are made in a day. Riches seem ia
exude from the sands. The mines
have even intoxicated the railroad
magnates and three or four separate
trans-continental lines are reputed to
be in a mad rush to get branches into
the new districts. And yet mining in
Nevada is only beginning-Stock-

WILL fight FOR
BCDIE FREIGHT

The business men of this section took
up a subscription this week and
sent a representative to Reno to
confer with the railroad people re-
garding the hauling of Bodie freight
by way of Wabuska. Upon his return
from Reno Mr.. Slingerland will visit
Bodie and see what condition the roads
are in and also talk the matter over
with the Bodie merchants. 1t appears
to us that the Bodie people would care
very little which way their freight
comes to them. The main question
with them will be, can the freight be
landed in Bodie cheaper via. Wabuska
than by any other route. AS the dis
tanee from Bodie TO y abnska is some
% miles less than from Bodie TO ar
son teamst' rs ought certainly to beat
