Perhaps no class of people meet with so much or so severe criticism as teachers. Much of this criti- cism is unjust and exists solely be- cause parents and others listen to unverified reports and do nothing to acquaint themselves with the real inner workings of the school room. Any person experienced with children knows that these reports, even when absolutely truthful from their point of view, cannot be relied upon. Again, any one who has the training of children, has experienced the mor- tifying that even the best trained children sometimes woefully lapse from their knowledge of good manners and courtesy when away from home and among other chil- dren. Some mothers will not tolerate any correction of their children's manners by the teacher, taking it as a direct insult to their home training, when it is but the result of childish heedlessness or self-will. No greater injury can be done teacher than to condemn her at home in the presence of pupils. There are many, they usually allude to a teacher as schoolmarm, who persist in believ, ing and encouraging that school teacher is never to be regarded other than suspicion.

NJ FIGHTING, BUT MOB FOLLOWS CARS Police tor First Time Busy in
 San Francisco STRIkEBREAkERS INJURED Rocks Hurled When Cars of Union Railways co., Manned By Strike
 Breakers, Make a Run of
 Cf~ Mfl.e Hnardad
STRIKEBREAKERS INJURED

san Francisco, May S.-The police for the first time since the beginning of the street car strike furnished actual protec- tion this afternoon to two United Rail way cars manned by twenty strike breakers and as result of this protec- tion these cars were run over six miles of track without the firing of a shot.
 Four men, one strike breaker, the other three members of the electrical workers union, were injured. There was intermit- tent hurling of missiles by union crowds at various points and for two or three miles mob of at least 1000 men and boys ran with the cars, yelling, calling epi- thets, daring the non-union men to get off the cars and fight, cheering vocifer- ously whenever, for any cause, the cars were brought temporarily to a standstill.
 About twenty police officers and patrol men, led by Chief Dinan, some of them in automobiles, a number mounted on horses and others afoot, accompanied the cars. Assistant President Mullally, Su- perintendent Chapman, and other officers of the railway, kept pace in automobiles with the cars. The route selected was through the better class of business and residence sections of the western addition and the Richmond district. The start was made at o'clock and the run completed two hours later.
 The police displayed decision, energy in dealing with the bowling crowds from the beginning to the completion of the run, using their clubs when necessary. As a result a number of heads were bruised
 The fact that cars were to be started from Oak and Broderick streets instead of from Turk and Fillmore streets did not become generally known until after noon. A few minutes after clock two covered wagons containing the twenty one strike breakers, who were to take the cars, emerged into the street car company's yards at Turk street and were driven at a gallop to Oak and Frederick, mounted policemen escorting.
 Capt, Gleason had instructions from Chief DtnaR to board the cars with a de- tail of officers as soon as any disturb ance was made and search the operatives for revolvers. He was to arrest and send to headquarters any of the strike break CTS whom he found armed The instruc- tions were conveyed to President Mullal- ly immediately after the arrival of the non-union men and after a brief confer ence Mir. Mullally gave his word that none of the men would be armed. This promise was rigidly kept and there was no search by the police.
 MT. Mullally stated that cars would be operated again tomorrow. majority Of the strike breakers who manned the cars today came from Kentucky
 Of the thirty odd persons who were shot or otherwise injured yesterday, two are expected to die. This would increase the number of deaths to six as a result of the riots yesterday
 Conference of union railroad officials and officers of the car mems unions were held with Mayor Schmitz in his office to- day
 They were productive of no results.

Parties Will Make Choice.

Toledo, O., May S-Walter F. Brown, chairman of the republican state cen- tral committee stated tonight that he will issue tomorrow call for a meeting of that committee at the Buckeye Re- publican club, Columbus, on May D. The purpose of the meeting will be to partic- ipate in party conference, to Whlcn will also be invited the members of the republican state legislative committee, the chairmen of the various county executive committees and the republican mem bers of Congress, to the end that a defi- nite expression may be secured in re- gard to the party's choice for the presi- dental nomination and that party har- mony may be restored.
 On being pressed for some definite ex- pression concerning the latest political crisis, Mr. Brown said:
 While various party leaders were urg- ing the wisdom of preliminary election to be conducted by the state central com mittee there was obvious impropriety on the part of a member of that com mittee who might be required to assist in formulating the rules governing such a primary, selecting the judges and clerks of election, fixing the polling places, deciding contests and canvassing the re- turns, in arrayng himself on either side.
 Now, that such primary has been definitely abandoned, l am very glad to put an end to any apparent mystery about my position. Since the state con- vention in 1905, which Secretary Taft presided over as chairman, l have be- lieved him to be the logical choice of the republicans of Ohio for the presi- dency in 1908, and l heartily favor the movement to secure for him an unequivo- cal endorsement at that time.
 Tn my judgment, the meeting of the party leaders and joint comrnittees, at Columbus next week, will result in an unanimous expression in favor of Secre- tary Taft"

Defeat Neqro Dlsfranchisement.

Tallahassee. Fla, May S.-Senator Boards resolution proposing the amend ment of the state legilsation limiting suf- frage to white male citizens. which pass ed the senate several weeks ago. was de- feated by the house today by a vote of H to IA.
 temala that his large estates had been embargoed on the grounds that he owed the government $600 600. This act left him and his family practically penniess. One of his largest plantations adjoined that of President Cabrera.
 Col. Orla was minister to Mexico from Guatemala up to a few weeks ago. One day Senor Giron arrived in the capital with credentials authorizing him to rep resent Guatemala in Mexico. This was the first intimation that Col. Orla had of the fact that he had been superseded.
 Dr. Obregon, who was at the head of the college of physicians, was compelled to leave Guatemala because he gained the enmity of President Cabrera.
 All three men declare they had noth- ing to do with the alleged attempt on the life of Cabrera. They claim they first heard of the incident through Associated Press dispatches.
 Mexico will not give up these men, as they consider thlS move or CaDfera a mere pretext and undignihed political trick.
 Revolution Will Break Out.
 That q revolution will break out in Guatemala within the next thirty days is the statement of an official who is well informed on the present lmbroglio. The signal for the advance will come when Mexico sewers diplomatic relations with Guatemala. Gen. Toledo will be advised and will cross from Honduras with a force estimated at from 1900 to 20.000 men. The promise of arms and ammunition for this force Is already assumed.
 At the same time a force which this same authority says will probably be led by Col. Francisco Orla will penetrate Guatemala from the Mexican border in the state of Chihuahua. It Is declared that this movement will be the first step toward the federation of the Central Americas and that the man who will sue ceed President Cabrera. as president of Guatemala, will act In the capacity for a short time, being later made governor of the state of Guatemala. which will be one of the federation. It has been learn ed on good authority that the revolution ists are amply supplied with arms to car " out their new revolution.

 Advices from Musquiz, Mexico, where Vice Consul Bennett went under orders of United States Consul Martin, of c. F.

Relations May Break.

What will happen in the event that the reply to this last note is unfavorable to the government. is matter which the state department refuses to discuss In detail. Minister Mariscal admitted that diplomatic relations between the two countries might be broken off. but even this, he said, would not be construed as a preparation for war.
 This was as far as the minister cared to be quoted. but from an official source as high as that of the head of the state department it was learned that this de- cIsion of the Mexican government un- raveled one thread of the tangle in the Guatemalan affair.
