TEACHERS MOVED
TO APPREHENSION
OVER NEW ORDER
Wondering How Thew
Are to Teach Classics
and Use PhOnetlCS.

Had a bomb exploded among them.
the teachers Of the District could not
have been more surprised than they
were yesterday. when they read in The
Times superintendent Chancellor =
announcement Of his intention of in
augurating the phonetic system OF
spelling ia the public schools,
Coming as the announcement did,
from one in authority. and one familiar
with modern educational principles, the
surprise was all the more intense. The
teachers, as a whole. IL Is understood,
had not been seriously considering Mr.
Roosevelts order in connection with
the public school system, and some Of
them had gone 50 far as 81 openly ex-
press their disapproval OF the proposed
revision.
Bound TO Make Trouble.
Many OF the teachers contend that
were the phonetic system employed in
the higher classes. there would Ibe an
embarrassing hiudrance 20 the study Of
ancient and medieval literature, as in
many instances these works are trans
lated from the French, Latin, Greek.

contended that IN the translation OF the
work OF The old masters the phonetic
plan would be extremely detrimental to
The course In English.

JUDGE sHEAFoR ENJOINs CANON CITY
Declares Property Cannot Be Seized Ex.
cept for Violation of Law.

CANON CITY, Colo, Nov. 90
Judge J w, Sheafor, of Colorado
Springs, has perpetualiy enjoined
the auths rites of Canon City
from raiding, or in any way inter
fering with the sale OF liquor TO
members OF the Elks' social club.
This decision is a decided victory
for the organization and will have
the effect of putting a crrmp in
the no. license crusade recently
inaugurated here.
After reviewing the plan of the
organization OF the lodge and its
club features and the ordinances
OF the city covering the liquor
question and nuisances; Judge
Sheafor says in his written opinion:
"lt the object of the organiza-
tion is merely to provide members
with convenient method OF
obtaining a drink whenever they
desire it, or if the form of mem
bership is 10 more than a pretense,
so that any person. without dis
crimInation, can procure liquor
by signing his name in a book, or
by a ticket or chips, thus enabling
the proprietor to conduct an illicit
traffic, then it falls within the
terms of the laws.
But if the club is organized
and conducted IN good faith,
limited and select membership,
owning its property in common
and formed for social. literary and
other purposes to which the fur
nishing of liquor is merely in
it cannot be considered
as within the purpose or letter of
the law. 1t must be borne in
mind that within this state intox-
icating liquors do not come with
in the ban of the law. The sale is
not prohibited, but under certain
conditions is legalized "
The decision also holds that the
city cannot seize liquors and carry
them away without first having
the question judicially determined
such ordinance has been
violated. "A mans property"
says the Judge, cannot be seized
