RAISULI is LOSER EFFORT CENTERED|
State Teachers Will Go Before
Legislature United ON
One Measure.
WANT EXPERT COMMISSION
Idea of Governor Deneen to Make Hi.
nois School System Model Kept
Uppermost.

Springfield, H., Dec. 29.-The Illi-
nois State Teachers association yes
terday voted to go before the general
| assembly with but one demand-the
appointment of the commission of ed
ucational experts suggested by Gov
ernor Deneen to make a thorough in
vestigation of the whole school ques-
ton with a view to building up a mod
el system of public instruction in Illi-
noiS
The decision to concentrate all their
efforts to secure the passage of the
measure so strongly advocated by Gov
ernor Deneen was wrought with great
and a hundred different bills
that hal. de- 4ssli.fIy nurtured from
infancy by their proud parents are
gasping for breath in the waste bas-
kets of the arsenal
Came From Everywhere.
Some of the foundlings were born
in the Chicago Teachers federation,
some out on the plains of the rural
school districts, while some had sprung
full armored from higher thought
waves. Last night pedagogical doctors
who for years have been compounding
cure-alls mounfully returned TO their
homes with bands of crepe encircling
their coat sleeves.
The action of the convention to some
Of the pedagOgues meant personal ef-
facement, to others the destruction of
long cherished ambitions. To others
still it meant the parting with legisla-
tive children who have been lugged
down to the general assembly every
two years for a quarter of century
and have grown up in the service of
their fathers ambitions.
Action is Unprecedented.
The action of the teachers conven-
ton in voting to center its fire on be-
half of one measure was unprecedent- !
ed. 1t was brought about by the feel
ing of despair over securing any school
legislation by any other means. Only
those who had pet measures, with |
which they could not bear to part, of |
fered the slightest resistance to the |
sentiment of the conven-
ton.

Clark's New Arizona Road

The American Magazine of Mining and Investment in it's last issue prints report ot a new Arizona railroad that is de- signed to tap the rich mining dis trict in and about Jerome. The magazine says:
 Ut is reported that Senator w. A. Clark and his associates have decided to build a railroad south from connecting points on the Salt Lake line into Arizona to the United Verde. Jerome cop per mines, and connect finally with the Southern Pacific at Bowie. The proposed line is to cross the Grand Canyon at Lees Ferry, which is the only point at which the line could get through.
 "FrOm the canyon the road will run to Flagstaff, connecting with d ten-mile road originally started fl om that point to Glol e From Flagstaff the road would follow Oak Creek to Jerome, where it would join and absorb Clark's private line, the United Verde and Pacific.
 Thence the road will continue to Globe, where it will connect again with Harriman's Gila Val ley. Globe & Northern, which reaches the main line of the Sou thern Pacific at Bowie,
 The reason for establishing the new road Is to enable Clark to tap directly the Jerome mines, and tC open up the vast unde- veiop. d regions in Arizona"

Fort Apache to be Aban-
 dOned

It now looks very much as if Ft. Apache would be abandoned by the United States army, leav- ing only Ft. Whipple and Hua- chuca remaining to bring back to the mind of the old-timer the days of Geronimo and General Lawton, the man who captured the willy old Apache leader
 Fort Apache IS ninety miles from the nearest railroad and the wagon road to the fort Is very poor. All supplies are taken by wagon from Holbrook. It IS thought that Apache will be abandoned before [ he first of the year. In lhe meantime four troops of cavalry will be left at the old fort.

Woman's Work Assists Police

Mrs. Moahan was retiring at the time
she saw Maret. Her room is on the
third floor, faces OH Broadway and is
directly across the street from the
store. She noticed the suspicious ac-
tions of the lad and became interested.
Finally she was startled to see him
crouch beneath the window i'll order
to conceal himself from the glarng
rays of the electric street light, not
fifty feet ristant.
Suspecting his motive Mrs. Moahan
waited only until she saw him strike
the glass with stone and then called
Desk Sergeant Sparks on the telephone.
The sergeant detailed an officer to
Third and Broadway, Mrs. Aoahan III

Hardly had the officer left the sta
ton when Mrs, Moahan called and
corrected the error. Officers Mart and
Rose were detailed on the case and ar.
rived on the scene within remarkably
short time.
Parties claiming TO know Maret say
that he lives on North Broadway above
the tunnel. The police say he was
formerly employed as a messenger boy
and has worked in the vicinity of the
store that he robbed, They also state
they are positive that he has been ar
rested on the charge of vagrancy
