matters. His son testified that the elder
Squire was ailing In body and mind

leg following the rupture of an artery
some time ago. Young Squire and
other witnesses, under Mr.. Hughes
questioning, showed how the former
financial manager had got bonds from
the Equitable ut low price and resold
them TO the society at a handsome
profit. The committee hopes to get
full light on this and other points.
Mr.. Tarbell told how he had worked
up in twenty-six years from solicitor
in Greene, n. y. TO second vice presi-
dent of the Equitable. He said that
he had been in two syndicatcs only in
his whole life, adding that he made
nothing from them. He did not In

to young Hyde, Tarbell formed to buy
him out for ST 100000.

asked about some letters sent 90 him
by John A., Nichols. The letters re

Senator Depew did not know who this
mysterious person was, but he was
sure that he was not legislator

him to testify about the contributions
to campaign funds by insurance COM
panies.

the committee and said that he would

try districts. This condition, howeve,
does not prevail in all divisions of the
United States. In the north Atlantic
and north Central divisions the larg.
er cities are not so well supplied with
teachers as the smaller cities and
country districts, a fact which sug-
gests the inference that where an et-
fective educational system Is of re-
cent growth it has developed more
rapidly in the cities, but where it has
been established for generation or
more, IT has produced a larger ration
of teachers to population in the slow
ly growing rural districts than in the
rapidly growing cities.
The immigrant population contains
relatively fewer teachers than the
negro population. The children of
immigrants, however, have engaged
in teaching to such an extent that
the proportion of teachers among
adults of this class exceed the propor-
ton among the white children of ma
tive parents.
In continental United States, as in
all countries for which figures were
were obtainable. the greater part of
the teaching is done by women. The
excess of female teachers over male is
greater in this country than in any
other.
In the larger cities of every geo
graphical division in continental Unit
ed States about four-fifths or so per
cent of the teachers were women,
while in the country the percentage
of women teachers varied from 59.5
in the south central division to 77.2
in the north Atlantic division.

A. d. Sullman, head manager OF the
Woodmen of the World, returned to-
day from several weeks spent in the
middle west, mainly on business con-
nected with the order. on leaving
here he went first to Denver, where
he attended a meeting of the head
managers on August IA. At that ses-
sion he states that $14S,000 of reserve
fund money was invested in munich
pal bonds, thus bringing the invested
reserve fund to $1.040,000. All of this
amount, according to Mr.. Stillman, is
invested in municipal securities and
draws over four per cent interest.
From Denver Mr. Stillman proceed
ed to Mackinac Island, Mich, where
he attended the annual session of the
National Fraternal Congress. This
session lasted five days, and at the
meeting there were representatives
from so of the leading and most sub
Htantial beneficiary orders of the
United States. A total membership
of 100000 was represented at the
meeting. Among the orders aside from
the Woodmen that belong 10 the con-
gress are the A. o. U. W., X. o. T.
NJ, Royal Arcanum. Foresters and
others.
From Mackinac Island st. Louis
was next visited by Mr.. Stillman. From
there 1t was his intention to go south
on personal business, but owing to
the rigid quarantine that is in force
all over the Mississippi valley, he
abandoned his trip. He states that at
al places south of central Illinois n
close quarantine is made of all traffic
southward. Passengers leaving st.
Louis or other places for points south
must present health certificate be-
fore they are permitted ot travel The
same is also required Of them when
they leave the train at their destina-
ton, and in order to return north
ward the performance must be re-
peated. AS a result of the quarantine
travel into the south is made very diff
ficult and uncertain, and, of course,
there is little traffic into the lower
Mississippi country, and business is
almost stagnated. After he had de-
cided to forego his visit, which would
have taken him into Arkansas and
Texas, Mr. Stillman left for home
Saturday evening.

The census bureau at Washington,
analysis by Prof. Walter f. Wilcox of
Cornell University of the census of
statistics relating to teachers. CAL
culating the school age as from five
to twenty-four, the report finds that
taking the country as a whole, there
is an average of one teacher to every
seventy-one pupils. or 14O for every
10000. The computation shows that
the supply of teachers in proportion
to school population has more than
doubled in the last thirty years, and
that teachers exceeded the total num-
Der of clergymen, lawyers and physl-
clans.
In 1900 Nevada had the largest
proportional number of teachers;
Vermont ranked second. Maine third
and Iowa fourth. The proportion of
teachers was smallest in some of the
SoehAeih StatSS' DuTlilS the past de-
cade the proportion has increased
reaching a miximum in the state of
Washington. The states of the north
west showed a greater increase than
those of the south.
The bulletin continues:
The proportion of teachers in all
the United States is smaller than in
England and Wales, but greater than
in Germany, France, Italy, Canada,
Mexico or Cuba; but in the following
states the proportion is greater than
in England and Wales: Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont. Connecticut,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, Wash
ington, Oregon and California. Dur
ing recent years the proportion of
teachers has increased in this country
to a greater extent than in England,
France, Germany or Canada.
The proportion of teachers in cities
having at least $4,000 inhabitants is
greater than in small cities or coun-

Prof. E. B. Conklin. who stopped
In the city today on his way home
from the National Educational asso-
citation meeting in Portland, is de-
lighted with the meeting and feels
that it will be a lasting benefit to
Oregon educators who attended.
According to Prof. Conklin, who at
tended all the sessions of the meet
ing, Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president
of the University OF California, was
actually the brainiest, biggest, strong
est, stalwart thinker and worker pres
ent at the meeting. and he is inclined
to the belief that Wheeler is also one
of the very biggest, II not himself the
biggest man. intellectually, On the Pa
cific coast.
Professor Wheeler addressed the
meeting on the subject: "The occident
and the Orient" in which he COM
pared the virile, democratic, progress
i've American with the nations of the
far east. His address was masterful
and strong and the political doctrines
of clean government, anti-grafting
and law enforcement were emphati-
cally indorsed and advocated and the
aristocratic United States senate was
inactivity, corruption and class dis.
tinctions. 1t was characterized by
President Wheeler as mammoth in
cubus of stupidity and imbecility."
Few other public men would have
the courage to so bitterly censure the
greatest law-making body" in the
United States, but President Wheeler
declares that the time has come for a
general house-cleaning in the govern
ment Being warm personal friend
of President Roosevelt, he keeps in
close touch with the presidents fight
on the official grafters and believes
that the Roosevelt administration will
go down in the annals of the govern
ment as history making epoch.
Prof. Conklin says that Wheeler is
a democratic. approachable. broad
minded man. of wonderful magnetism
and infinite capacity for work. Since
hearing the great Californian, Pro-
fessor Conklin has cast aside his for
mer belief that Wheeler was aristo-
cratic or egotistical. He says that
anybody can meet and enjoy the COM
pany of Wheeler without the leas.

The above entry was found upon
the record of arrests at the recorders

of some of the ludicrous things that
may be seen around police station.

also states that Carney and Ken

The above case, with two more OF
similar nature, were the only ar

noticeable thing regarding the
articles that are found on drunken
Indians is, that 1t is now very sell
dom that any liquor is found on them,
whereas formerly, n bottle of some
description was nearly always to be
found on a drunken Indian. This
change Is said by some to be due to
the fact that Indians may now drink
from glasses like other citizens and
do not need to hide out with bottle
in order to slake their thirst.
