SIGNIFICANT ORDER.
Believed That 1t Will Be Of Far
Reaching Effect.

Houston, June 20-The executive
order issued by President Roosevelt
has been received here, which the
leaders of the Republican party in
Texas regard as of far reaching effect
and of the utmost political signifi-
canoe. The order says that no civil
service employee shall use the official
influence for the purpose of interior
ing with an election OF, affecting the
result thereof, and while said employee
may express his private opinion and
vote according to his pleasure, he shall
not publicly take part in the cam
paign for any particular candidate.
This is construed as aimed at the de-
partiment of justice by Texas Repnb-
lican leaders, in that the president is
believed to be growing alarmed al
the campaign policies of Senator Knox
in disseminating literature promul-
gated by the president of highly
Mandatory character after affecting
Senator Knox's administration as at.
torney general.

striking mayor of Narbonne, and, next
to MarceIine Albert, the most promi
nent figure in the winegrowers' revolt
in the south of France, was arrested at

found themselves surrounded by arm
ed forces of the government they did
not attempt any resistance.
When Nj. Ferroul appeared in the

be no conflict with the troops He

SAPPERS ARE DESPERATE.

stituted Vigorous Fight. but After
Having Number Killed and Wounded
Forced to Flee.

ST. Petersburg, June 20-Details of
the mutiny of Sappers at Kiev show
It was suppressed only after bloody
engagement at midnight of June IT
between mutineers and loyal troops in
which about seventy men were killed
or wounded. Kiev is one of the cities
where the revolutionary ideas have
made the great inroads on the army
and revolutionary military organiza-
ton is still powerful, containing
among its members dozens of officers.
The mutiny was planned to coincide
with the general political strike as
reply to the dissolution of parlia-
ment, involving railroads, telegraphs
and mails. In several southern pro-
vinces arrangements for the strike had
been made for months under the lead
ership of an experienced organizer,
M. Loskotj, who was member of the
first parliament The decision of the
to refrain from demonstrations was
disobeyed by hot-headed Sappers.
At midnight of June II, 500 men at
given signal left their beds, disarmed
the sentries, -hurriedly dressed, OBJ
tanned possession of their rifles, broke
into the armory, secured some load
ed cartridges, then marched to the
camp on the square and fired volley
In the air. The officer on duty. Cap
tain Akuloff, ran out and addressed
the mntineers, advising them to dis
perse. He then called out another
battalion, drew the men up and led
charge on the mutineers, ordering
them to surrender. On the refusal to
do so, Captain Akuloff ordered his
troops to fire and fell dead himself at
the first volley. The fighting contin-
ued for several minutes. Half dozen
others were killed and about sixty
wounded. Finally the mutineers, with
no officers. no leaders and no plans,
wavered and fled. Two hundred and
fifty were captured, but 1913 eiuded
pursuit and hid in the city
The mutiny at Kiev was arranged
by Shefhenkof. revolutionist of good
family. who entered the army as
volunteer Three bombs were found
In Shefshenkof's tent
All the mutineers will be tried by

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

II may be conceded that it is not pos
sible TO have in the public schools the
angelic harmony which is anticipated in
the hereafter, but not until recently has
there been SO serious an infection as
now seems to be visible on the surface
and through which has been singled out
FIVE teachers who have been cited to
appear before the teachers committee
next Monday afternoon.
What is their offending?
These teachers have not been reap
pointed, but the hope is held out to them
and their friends that they may be.
Why have these teachers been ex-
eeptsd from the reelected?
It is serious diseredit to these teach
srs, long in the service, faithful and
true, who are as competent today as they
have ever been, and who are beloved by
their pupils, to be discredited.
Notwithstanding the explanation OF
Prof. Blanton, who in his pleading SIN
eled out woman who has friends AMI
direct protectors, as being the sourcse
from which all the trouble he has ex-
perienced may be traced, perhaps, ar
impartial and thorough investigation
would develop other causes for irrita-
ton and the feeling of discomfort which
has been aroused.
It is true the board has invited the
teachers to file their complaints, but it
win be bold teacher who will venture
on such course.
Il IS TO be regretted that the School
Board has confined itself to its action of
yesterday There must be cause for
this detection, and that cause must not
rest on lady whose best years have
been deyoed to teaching.
# IL q trite saying that wherever there
is much smoke there must be fire. This
fire may be smothered for a while, but
it will blaze, perhaps into a conaagra-
ton, unless the irritating cause of the
smoke is removed
The School Board should be as fair
to the teachers as to the superintendent
There should be no favoritism, MOI
should any teacher be singled out as .
scape goat
