CALL FROM CRANK
MAN INTRODUCES HIMSELF AS
A PLAYWRIGHT
Seeks Mayors Aid in Writing Play
and Is Turned Over to the
Police, Who Lock
Him Up

Mayor Harper spent an unpleasant
five minutes yesterday with man now
locked up at the county hospital sus-
pected of being unbalanced.
The opportune arrival of Major John
H. Norton, the newly appointed water
commissioner, doubtless saved scene
if not worse. in the inner sanctum OF
the mayors suite.
For a week man, who has since
given his name as E. Hirsch. tailor
has been making daily visits TO the city
hall He said to some inquirers thai
he was looking for materials for
drama, and no one paid much attention
to him. In the past few days he has
insisted on sitting near the desk OF
Private Secretary Herbert d. Kennedy
Last Saturday afternoon when the
mayor was alone in his office Hirsch
tried to pass Secretary Pitt P. Hand
of the Fourth of July committee, who
is something of playwright himself

Hand, who was waiting In the outer
office. seized him by the collar and
threw him out into the marble corri-
dors as he judged by the mans strange
behavior that he was irrational he
had confided to Hand that he was a
budding playwright.
After that the mayor gave orders that
Hirsch must keep outside of his private
offices. /.
Yesterday morning he managed to
mass the trocha by watching his chance
and the mayor Immediately recognized
that he had d troublesome visitor.
Hirsch is a big fellow, and as the mayor
said afterward, considerable planning
was done on the spur of the moment
as to which way to make an exit.
at want you to help me write a
drama" said Hirsch. II want you to
be in my play"
The mayor humored him, drew out
some details OF his past and edged
toward the side of the desk where there
was a push button. Finally as he was
about to press it Major Norton came
in. Both then persuaded the fellow 10
see Secretary Kennedy.
That fertile genius Immediately pre-
pared note for Captain Paul Flam-
mer, acting chief of police. 1t was a
message which Hirsch agreed to de-
liver, asking that the bearer be given
a chance to get play material from in
side the jail. Captain Flammer was
notified by telephone what to do with
his prospective visitor and he was given
a cordial reception and held till the
county hospital ambulance arrived.
Hirsch will be tried before lunacy
commission Friday.

opposition to the active protests of

to numerously signed petitions request
ing council to open up the street.
B. o. Kendall, one Of the Throcp
trustees, made a strong plea before the
council for a reconsideration of it's ac-
ton after the ordinance had been pass
ed, stating that the councilmen had
killed the enterprise, as opening the
street would take one-third of the
grounds purchased for the school, and
the trustees had not the funds to pur-
chase additional lots Considerable
money had already been raised for this
new institution of learning, and work
on the buildings was expected to start
very soon. The grammar school idea
is a new enterprise for Throop, and It

AWAIT BREEZE
MANY FLEET CRAFT TO START
IN BIG REGATTA
Chamber of Commerce of Seaport
Town Offers Trophies in All
CIasses-Three Glasses
to Contend
by JACK vIvARTTAs

Awaiting only a good breeze the rae
ing fleet of the South Coast Yacht club
is ready at San Pedro today for the
biggest regatta of the season.
For the A and B classes there is an
open race for the Times cup won last
year by Detroit and subject to a per-
petual challenge. In this race there will
be six starters-Detroit, Yankee, Col
umbine, Mischief II, Monsoon and
Skidoo
AS the chamber of commerce of San
Pedro offers q silver cup for the yacht
finishing second in the Times cup race
there will be considerable rivalry at the
finish.
For the c class the San Pedro cham
Der of commerce offers a silver cup as
first prize and a merchandise prize of
yacht hardware for the second place.
In this race will be Venus, twice win
ner of the Times cup, Valkyrie and
Merlin.
Even to the twenty-one footers does
the liberality of the chamber of COM
merce extend, offering, as in the larger
classes, a silver cup for the winner
Myth, Hilda and Portolis will start in
this class.
The course, which will be the same
in all classes except that the smaller
boats will finish at the whistling buoy
off Point Firmin instead of going to
the breakwater, will be from line be-
tween the lighthouse on Point Firmin
and the whistling buoy to and around
the whistler off Vincente, thence to a
flag off the eastern end of the San Pc
dro brealxwater and back to and around
the Point Firmin whistler, all marks
to be passed to port.
Detroit Unknown Quantity
In the open race Detroit is an un-
known quantity, having had fin keel
fitted during the winter, though as she
is but recently fitted with new suit
of sails even the wisest hesitate to pre-
dict that she will repeat last years
victory.
Between Columbine and Mischief IL
there will be a good race. Monsoon be-
ing somewhere in their vicinity, ready
to take advantage of any lucky chance
that might be lying around loose. Yam
kee. the scratch boat, will be handi-
capped by more than the time allow
ance. being the only centerboard boat
in the fleet. Yankee is a dangerous
craft in a light wind, however, and
can be expected to help herself to any
chances that might occur.
Among the mosquito fleet Venus
should add one more silver cup to her
already long list of trophies and in the
D class Myth will probably lead the
| little fellows home.
The start for the C and D classes will
be at 12:45, preparatory gun at 12:40,
while the larger boats will start fifteen
minutes later

LONG BEACH, July 3.-The phos-

most a week made night at the seashore
more beautiful than the day have dls-
appeared. This afternoon the muddy
pools of water which marked their pres
ence could be seen a mile from the
shore, and tonight the gorgeous spec
tacle of the past few days was no more
The duration of the phenomenon was
much longer this time than usual. US
ually the microscopic creatures Whlch
cause the spectacle appear for day OF
two, but this time they remained a
full week.
The sight was wonderfully beautiful
to strangers. During the day the water
was a dirty reddish yellow, rather disa-
greeable to sensitive bathers; but after
dark the sight was worth the incon-
venience. The dark stretch of water
was broken here and there by phos-
phorescent streaks and blotches of light
that appeared and disappeared like a
will-o'- -the-wisp.
Breakers Are Phosphorescent
Each wave as it came rolling in was
dark as the proverbial pitch until 1t
struck the breaker line. Then in an in
the crest of the wave a dull blush light
played along it's summit for almost a
quarter of a mile. Before the advancing
wave another line of light ran.
Thousands of Christian Endeavorers,
as we'll as many dancers whom the
beauty of the scene lured from he ball
room, lined the sides of the pier, giving
vent to expressions of delight and ad-
niration.
Farther out on the water, beyond the
line of breakers, little will-o they wisps
seemed to play. Where the waves
FLASHED against the pier abutments a
glimmer of light ran around the water
line of the dull iron casing. Where the
schooners and rowboats rose and fell
on the ripples their sides were outlined
with a subdued blush glare.
Along the sands the scene was scarce
ly less beautiful. AS the beach walk
ers strolled along the wet sand, every
football was outlined in fire for an i'll
stant like some fiashlight. When they
kicked up a heap of the damp sand
bright glittering pyrotechnics rewarded
their efforts.
But tonight the beautiful spectacle is
no more. The little animals have de
parted whence they came-to the deer
blue sea which hides countless Other
untold mysteries.

aEsUkED THE GREAT WRITER.
American Was Not Awsd by Grouchy
Poet Laureate.

A writer in Harpers Weekly brings
to light an interesting anecdote OF
Tennyson which well illustrates the
singular habits of the great laureate
in his intercourse with his friends.
The poet was not only brusque and
exacting. and most other men were
afraid of him. But an American
schoolmastar who for many years
maintained great intimacy with him
had no fear in his heart. and sat and
smoked on an equality ~uh the sover-
eign singer by Farringford 'ireside.
"One evening" says the writer.
when the two were thus together,
Tenny son said that he would depart
from his custom and natrate a per
sonal experience; but he had suffered
a good deal from repetitions of his
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would 'be obliged to ask
his friend never to repeat what he
was about TO hear The American
smoked on for few seconds while
Tennyson waited for the promise. and
then he said: My lord. in my coun
try gentleman would never make
that request Of another gentleman
T'H.h-m!' said the poet. and looked
out of eyes that wondered IL the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said. Then he told the story"

RURAL SCHOOLS NOT GIVEN
FAIR SHARE OF CONSIDERATION
So Says S. K. Mardis President ohe Ohio School Inn
provement Federation Country People are Entitled to
all the Educational Advantages Given IN the City
and Should Demand Them.

In circular letter sent through
out the entire state, 8. X. Mardis,
president of the Ohio School I'M
provement Federation in treating
on the subject "The Rural
Schoolsv writes as follows:
The rural schools have not re-
ceived their fair share of consid-
Grafton. Better educational oppor-
tunities as well as the Industrial
advantages are draining the rural
population to the village and cit
les. This depreciates rural prop
erty.
The number OF young people
entering teaching as an occupation
is growing smaller each year. be-
cause other occupations are yield
ing much better annual incomes,
giving more employment and much
more secure tenure of position. Not
few who are making teaching a
success are leaving 1t for more
desirable positions. in other voca-
tions. This is true in all grades
of educational work but particular
ly does this apply to the rural
schools.
Then the organized and supervis-
ed city and village schools are
continually demanding better pre-
pared and more successful teach
ers who naturally and justly re-
ceive better salaries. These condi-
tions attract the best teachers OF
rural schools to the villages and
cities, but cause the inexperienc-
ed. poorl y prepared and weak
teachers to drift to the rural
schools where the standards are
lower. which process lowers the
efficiency OF the rural schools. The
people in the country then move
to the cities to give their children
better educational advantages.
The last report of the State
school Commissioner shows that
there were. nearly 10000 (S,543)

ship schools in 1905 than in 1906
The difference in efficiency be-
tween the city and township schools
is due more to supervision than
to any other one thing. The ad-
vantages of supervision are seen in
almost any line of industry and
the school is no exception. The
difference between work being d.
rected by competent person and
not being directed at all and par
ticularly when the worker is
simply an experiment is very
great.

ments for an efficient system of

uniform operation of the laws of

Ohio cannot have either mandatory
single township supervision nor
mandatory Capitalization of the
township schools. The grouping of
two or more townships as an ex-
elusive system made mandatory has
many serious objections.
Mandatory county supervision of
the rural schools is the only plan
meeting the constitutional re-
quirements for an efficient State
system. This is the only plan that
can combine our 2.G29 separate and
independent school district in a
system.
The supervision should be con-
fined to the township schools be-
cause the rural school problems
are entirely different from the
city school problems and each
should have an educational expert
to master them. With the optional

with the local assistance of the su-

perintendents the county superin-
tendent can surely give as efficient
supervision as can be given by
the single superintendent of the
larger city schools having many
tines more teachers than the
township teachers in any county In
the State. A county superintendent
OF the rural schools, with specified
qualifications. elected by the presi-
dents of the Township Boards of
Education, and acting as the official
means OF communication between
the county and the State School
Commissioners fully meets every
geographical, constitutional and
educational requirement for an
efficient system Of education. and
effective supervision of the rural
schools.
The country people are in JUS

Mandatory county supervision
of the rural schools would be an
impetus to Capitalization township

Mandatory county supervision of
