OLD WAYS MUST GO.
Brander Matthews Discusses Proposed
Reforms in Spelling.


New York, March 14.-Brander
Matthews. head of the board Of edu-
Gators which has been formed to in
troduce changes in spelling, expressed
himself yesterday to his classes in Co
lumbia as pleased with the way the
announcement had been received. He
said he had expected that the board
would be met by a storm Of criticism
and dissent.
Prof. Matthews said that It was an
atrocious inconsistency that the most
practical people in the world should
have the worst spelling. I'VE may not
do a great deal he added. but at any
rate we will have the dictionaries on
our side, and viii be able to change
DR.. Charles P. C. Scott. temporary
board. believes that the way to regu-
/ late Spelling that is the word
he uses-is by a campaign OF eduea-
ton rather than by forcing changes on
the public.
Some agency has been needed to
check the continuing error in our
spelling" he said yesterday. I'VE hope
that our board viii prove to be this
agency. We should place spelling on
the same plan with everything else. We
alter our houses, our clothes, and We
even change our religion. Spelling is
no more sacred than religion that we
should go on year after year with the
old pulling forms.
I'VE want to take the English Ian
guage and regulate and simplify Il
and remove the anomalies. We think
it wrong to be teaching the perverse
spelling that adde's the brains Of the
children. We expect in time to spell
definite without the e sphilosoDhy'
with two rs. and in general to do away
with the ph's and CHS that worry
children"

RAIDlNG THE JOINTS.
Police Rounded Up a Few Of the Lit
tie Ones.

The trouble has started. Four joints
have been raided and the chief of po-
lice still refuses to talk. This looks
very bad for the booze selling fra
ternity. AS a rule. two or three raids
and a large, strong talk from a chief
of police is deemed sufficient for one
time Hence the jointistS are becom-
Ing nervous, and a few of them are
liable to close their doors before they
can be caught with the goods.
The raiding began about 8 o'clock
Monday afternoon, and the first place
attacked was the resort run by John
PEARS at 2o8 North Kansas avenue,
near the south approach of the Melan
bridge, and was followed almost SIM
Ultaneously by a descent on the joint
of John Hettmann, at 212 Kansas
avenue. In a few minutes the wagon
was called to SIS North Kansas ave-
nue.. the North Topeka. place kept by
Hutch Cave. Things quoted down I'M
til late at night, when a force dropped
in at the Tenth street pharmacy, a
drug store without a permit, located
at 1901 Kansas avenue and cleaned
out the booze parlor annex. More
raids will be pulled off today unless the
places listed have closed their doors
and quit business.
The first two raids proved conclus-
lively that the attacks were not Of the
'phony" sort so frequent during the
latter and middle part of the Bergund-
thai administration, when a raid re-
suited in nothing but display while the
joints were known to have been doing
a rushing business ten minutes before
the officers arrived. Mondays raids
were a bowling success from the law
and order standpoint. A wagon load
Of fixtures and drinkables, consisting
of beer whisky, wine and other drinks,
were CAPTURED in the PEARS place, and
the keeper was caught with the goods.
It took two trips of the patrol wagon
to remove the kegs, bottles, bars,
