BOYROUGHLY LYHANDLED
William Traurig Says He Will
 Prosecute MOultOD.

David Traurig, son of William Traurig of 529 North Leonard street, was roughly handled yesterday after noon by o. M. Moulton, employed by the city at the sewage disposal plant. It is said that Moulton thought that Traurig was one of a number of boys who knocked down one of his instru- ments with which he was working on the street. Seizing the boy he is said to have choked him into insensi- bility and then to have administered a couple of kicks on the boys stom- ach. The youth was so injured that physician had to be summoned when the boy was taken home. All night long the boy was hysterical and his father stated this morning that he would prosecute Moulton to the full extent of the law.
 It was shortly after 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the incl dent occurred and it created consid- erable excitement on the street. A number of boys were coming from the Barnard school and were playing chase so they say. They did not watch where they were going and a couple of them before they were aware of it had crashed into the in strument which Moulton was using in his work on the street. It seems that the other boys ran but young Traurig who claims that he was not in the crowd saw no reason to skip. So he stood. Moulton grabbed him and the boy says shook him like a rat, in addi- tion to throwing him to the ground. The boys father keeps a saloon on the street and it was not long before the news of what had happened to his son reached him. Rushing from his saloon he hurried down the street. Moulton evidently knew the elder Traurig for according to the story he picked up his instruments and pro- ceeded to make haste. Down along the river he beat it" with Traurig after him. The latter proved to be the better runner and when he cap tured the runaway he demanded his name. Traurig says that Moulton first declined to answer but when he saw Traurig's fist in the air and heard him say The would knock his block of then and there" if he did not make his identity known, he handed over his card. It is under stood that J. S. Taylor, who has charge of the work going on at the sewage disposal works and for whom Moulton works endeavored to have the matter settled this morning but Traurig would not listen to it. He said it was a case which he thought should be pushed.

The affair was gotten up in hurry py Manager Clancy of the Jacques, no arrange ments being made until the Me, Him and I" company, which played at Polls last evening dropped into own yesterday afternoon. As there are a number of the organization, which has membership of oyer one tl,su- sand, in the company someone pro posed having a racket at the house. MT Poli agreed to give the use of the theater and told Manager Clancy to go ahead and treat the Rats" white.
 After the close of the performance at Jacques the windows and doors were locked and the long tailed mem- bers had everything to themselves. First they sat down to supper. After the feed the up-roar began. It beat anything that was ever seen in his city before. Talk about actors and actresses going crazy. Ed Lee Wrothe, one of the leading members of the "Me. Him and I" company was the presiding officer and after giving a short address the fun began. Every body present sat in the orchestra cir cle and ascended the stage in turn and did thenr little act. Scream" Welsh, as usual, was one of the fun producers and those who think him funny in his act at Jacques during the week should have seen him last night. No wonder they call him Scream" One of the features was a six round boxing exhibition. One of the boxers was blackened. supposed to represent Jack" Johnson. the other was Sailor Burke. The original bout was noth- ing in comparison. After the program was completed dancing was enjoyed.

TOSHORTEN TERM
Educators Favor Promotion By Subjects and a Fifteen Year
 Course Instead of Sixteen
OPINIONS FROM MANY

New York, Sept. 13.-An investi- gation conducted by committee Of the Brooklyn teachers association, a report of which has just been pub lished, shows that educators through out the United States favor a system of promotion by subjects instead of by grades in the secondary schools, and believe that liberal education course should be devised to take fif- teen years in the completion instead of sixteen years as at present.
 It is likely that an effort will he made to lay the matter before the national education association at an early meeting and have that body take action. The reforms suggested would mean revolution of the school system throughout the coun- try.
 In the investigation questions were sent to educators throughout the country, and answers were received from 660. Every state and territory is represented in the answers, and also Canada, Mexico, England, Scot land, Russia, Turkey, China and Japan.
 The first question was as to pro- motion by subjects; the second on a course of liberal education to eXtead over fifteen years. At present the course is sixteen years, four being spent in each of these schools, prim ary, grammar, high, and college. The new proposition is to introduce an intermediate school between the primary and grammar schools, and to have the course in each school eX- tend over three years.
 The large majority of answers favored both propositions.

MASKED MEN ROB TRAIN.
Hishwaymen on Great Northern Help
 Themselves to Registered Mail.

Hishwaymen on Great Northern Help
 Themselves to Registered Mail.
 St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 13.-General Manager Elliott of the Great Northern Express company announced that the Great Northern Oriental Limited train, No. 1, which left St. Paul on Tuesday morning, was held up by two masked men six or seven miles west of Rex ford, Mont, at an early hour in the morning. The robbers crawled over the tender at this place and at the point of their guns commanded the en- gineer to stop the train. They ordered the engineer to go back with them to the express car and instructed him to tell the express messenger, mail clerk and baggageman to go back into the coaches.
 While this was being done the rob- bers kept up continual fusillade with their guns to terrify the passengers and keep them within the coaches. After the messenger. baggageman and mail clerk had left their cars the rob- bers went through the mail cars and robbed the sacks of a large quantity of registered mail. Then they went in- to an express car which carried an overflow of mail, baggage and express and which contained a regular through safe. After exploding three charges the safe was opened and found to be empty. On finding the safe empty the highwaymen helped themselves to the registered mail and after firing part ing volley disappeared.
