INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OPENED.
Institution at Columbus. Ga. Aided by G..
r.. Peabody Gives Good Promise.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. 10.-The opening Of
the new Secondary Industrial School to-day
marked an epoch in industrial education in
Georgia.
The school is the only institution OF it's
kind in the South. The object of the school,
which was established with the financial
assistance of the. Hon. George Foster Pea
body OF New York, is to educate young
people between IA and 20 and prepare them
for intelligent service in industrial occu-
p~ations.
While informal, he opening was at
tended by many educators and was marked
by a large attendance of pupils, many of
them former operatives in the Columbus
cotton mills, out OF employment through the
recently enacted child labor law.
IN efficient corps of teachers OF wild
experience in industrial training Is in
charge of the school.
For girls there is opportunity for train
ing in dressmaking, millinery and Office
work, including s~tenography, typewriting,
bookkeeping, filing and indexing and the
general care OF an office.
For boys there will be opportunity for
training in carpentry, pattern making,
management of woodwork machines. black
smithing and machine shop work.
All pupils decide upon the occupation
they want to follow before entering school
and get special training along that line.

UNrERMYER CHARGES FORGERY.
Says New York and Mutual Are Casting
FrauduIcnt Ballots.

Samuel Untermyer, general counsel for
the international PoliCyholders' Committee,
issued yesterday a statement that names
of policyholders are being forged TO ballots
in favor of the administration tickets. Mr..
Untermyer asserts that these forged bal
lots are being sent TO the Offices of the COM
panies to be counted when the election
closes a week from to-day.
Mr.. Untermyer's statement reads:
Information comes TO the international
p~olicyholders' committee from ma ny direc-
tons that the names OF pOlicyholders are
being forged TO ballots in different sections
of the country and that these forged ballots
are being forwarded TO the companies.
The forgeries have been rendered possible
by the action of the companies in placing
upon the ballots which they have sent out
the numbers Of the policies, which were re-
garded as confidential Information. without
which numbers nobody butt the policyholder
himself could have prepared the ballot. The
number was required to be placed on the
ballot as a means of Identification. That
means has been destroyed by the agents OF
the companies.
Some time ago the committee ascertained
that the New York Life Insurance Company
officials we're making lists of the names of
~policyholders who voted as their ballots
came to the company. The superintendent
of Insurance was thereupon asked TO give
the committee the same facilities, SO that
the committee might communicate with the
policyholders and ascertain whether they
were actually voting these ballots or whether
their names were being forged. After con-
siderable delay the Superintendent advised us
that the New York Life had now discontinued
the practice OF taking the ma mes from the
ballots that were sent to the company. 1t
was difficult for the committee TO UNDER
stand why it, should not he furnished the
same facilities for knowing who voted and
for verifying the vote az had been permitted
the New York Life; but like many other things
that have happened In this election 1t
has had no satisfaction. II we had some
thing of the methods that obtained in the
States of Tennessee and Kentucky we might
have had something approaching a fair cleo
ton.
Notwithstanding the frauds tina have
been practised and the attitude of the State
Superintendent of Insurance the vote is
going to be very CLOSE in both companies.

MORE CARS IN BROOKLYN.
Increase OF Traffic Facilities OF Twenty-Five
Per Cent. or More.

- W
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit COMPANY
put into operation yesterday en- increased
service on both elevated and surface lines.
While it was impossible 10 tell in a general
way just how many additional cars were
put into service, the officials say that the
service was increased from rs to 80 per
cent. The increase went into effect during
the midday o and was greatly appre-
ciated by the travelling public. Where
three car trains on the elevated roads had
been the custom four car trains were op-
Grated. Two car trains were increased 70
three car trains, and on the surface lines
additional cars were operated on all the
lines leading TO the Williamsburg Bridge.
the Brooklyn Bridge and the ~Thirty-ninth
street ferry.
-All these changes had been decided
upo by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany,' said one of the officials yesterday,
before the State Railroad Commission
had suggested them. One reason we could
not carry the changes into effect before
was owing to the fact that we did not have
the power. To-dgy for the first time we
had the power which Permitted the in
GREASE in cars, A new II, 900 horsepower
unit went into service. With that we were
able TO put on extra cars. Two months ago
we increased the service in the South Brook
lyn section south of the Thirty-ninth street
ferry lines. so within two months we have
given an increased service of at least "a
per cent.
There was a slight block early in the
day which undoubtedly was due DO the
extra number of cars being operated on
a new schedule. But this lasted only a
short time. The probabilities are that IL
will not occur again, as the new schedule
will be better understood"

With the passing of Joseph A.
Wheelock, editor of the Pioneer
Press, the Northwest loses it's
greatest editor. Mr.. Wheelock
has not been actively at the head
of his paper for several years on
account of declining years, but
up until a comparatively recent
date he has directed it's editorial
policy. The veteran editor came
TO ST.. Paul in the early fifties
and his influence in shaping the
policies of the state and the
nation have extended over half a
century. Joseph Weelock ranked
with j. J. Hill and few others
as one Of the intellectual giants
of the Northwest.
