Crowds at Pits Mouth
The pit mouth was surrounded all night.
In the shed where roll-call of miners shifts
are usually held the bodies of the dead are
laid out. The entrances are surrounded
by sobbing women, who, as their names
are called, go in to identify if they can,
the mutilated bodies. Numerous military
doctors and many nurses and priests are
attending the survivors.
BERLIN, January 23.-The appropriation
committee of the Prussan diet today
adopted a resolution asking the govern
ment to provide at once for the widows

be greater

Congress for the abolition of the school
board. and provides for vesting the whole
central authority in commissioner of edu-
cation. appointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate, at salary of $6,00O

framed it himself with some care in the
hope of rescuing the public school system
from the depi6raDle condition into which it
had fallen. The bill is based a good deal
on the systems Of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston. 1t aims to have centralized

Railroads Will Not Give Government
Cut Rates.

OMAHA, Neb., January 29-The Union
Pacific and Northwestern railroads have
refused to make any special rates to the
government for the shipment of soldiers

ing themselves in forceful language over
the action of the railroads.
Yesterday bids were opened in Omaha
for the transportation of 600 men, 500
horses and a large amount of equipment
from Forts Robinson and Russell to San
Francisco. Only the Union Pacific and
Northwestern submitted bids, and both
bids were for regular and full rates. Rail-

EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION.
Proposed Abolition Of Office of School
SuDerinteudeut

Mr.. Smith of Maryland has introduced a
bill in the House abolishing the office OF
superintendent of schools and the board OF
education of the District. The bill provides
that all powers hitherto vested in the board
OF education and the superintendent OF
schools be conveyed to educational commits
sioners, who shall be nominated py the
President of the United States. and con-
firmed by the Senate for term Of three
years at salary of $1,000 per annum.
The Capitalization of power proposed by
this bill Is directly opposite TO the plan pro-
posed in Mr.. Morrell's bf1l which was in
troduced yesterday. That measure provides
for separating the board of education into
subcommittee having jurisdiction over GER
tain geographical localities so as to relieve
the board as whole from some of the de-
tailed work.

TWO REQUISITES
OF A SWIMMER
Champion Daniels Says That
Knack and Confidence Are
Things That Are Needed.

NEW YORK. July &c. NJ. Daniels.
the champion swimmer of the world. says:
"Knack and confidence are two of the main
things to acquire in learning how to swim.
Strength Is of secondary Importance. and
physical stature makes little difference.
There should be absolutely no fear of dan
ger in entering the water. Swimming Is
natural accomplishment and form of loco
motion Even the four-footed animals have
this natural ability, for even the first time
they are thrown into the water they can
swim some distance. With no fear of being
under the water for few moments. the
first lesson Is learned. Keep every muscle
relaxed when in the water. 1t is when
the muscles are stiffened that cramps are
most likely to attack the swimmer.
The three best and most useful strokes
for all-around swimming are the breast.
trudgeon or double overarm, and the Aus
tralian crawl, which Is the fastest known
for sprinting. These should be learned In
the order named. and 1t Is best to thorough
ly acquire each before trying to learn the
others, or at least to gain the fundamental
and practical knowledge of them as one
goes along. Natural ability will govern in
the time required to learn these strokes.

usually expressed themselves as satisfied

As matter OF fact there is a good argu-

Everybody knows that the real race usual

as POSSIBLE over the lest mile. This makes
the race largely a test OF endurance ana

sane test cannot be made as fairly in three
miles without subjecting the odrsmen to
