NEW YORK. Aug. s1-That every
BODY works and everybody seems 10 be

that have impressed Prince Wilhelm Of
Sweden most during his present visit

Nowhere else in the world viii you
see people who seem 10 enjoy life so
much." said the prince today. NO
where else do the people dress so well.
Newport was quite a revelation TO
me. 1t far surpassed any resort that
have seen. saw the wealthy people
and the working people, and both were
happy and contented.
An the American women 1 have
seen were exceptionally good looking
and they dress charmingly and with
great taste. The slIyscrapers Of New
York are the most wonderful structures
Lave ever seen. Really, I never had
so much enjoyment in my life. What
stories 1 will have to tell. I am going
down to Coney Island again. There Is
no place In the whole world like it. I
leave Monday and sail from Boston on
the Fylgia September s.
When the prince left the Hotel Aston

Finally, standing on a table at one end
of the great dance hail on the Dream

crowded about bowling smiling. waving

He Drops.

LOWELL Mass. Aug 31.-Harry
Mainard, young aeronaut, fell 4e0 feet
to his death late this afternoon at Lake
View, a pleasure resort near nere, while
1000 horTlhed spectators held their
breath in sickening suspense. Mainard's
home was in Lynn. He was employed
to give an exhibition by the Stafford
Balloon Club. of Boston.
BIainard took two parachutes for his
downward flight. When nearly a thou
sand feet in the air he cut loose from
the balloon. He shot earthward like a
bullet more than half the distance.
Within 40 feet from the ground one
parachute opened. AIainard's employer,
Eugene L. Stafford, who had fired the
shot signalling the aeronaut to cut loose,
yelled Hold it. Hold iti' meaning that
Mainard should use only one parachute,
not depending on the second to open IN
the short distance he had to drop.
Mainard either took the risk or failed
TO hear. for he cut loose. The second
parachute did not open. and his body
shot down. falling on the roof of the
bowling alley. Every bone in the mans

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-United States
District Attorney Sims today declared

sentence would have been far more ef-
fective.
Mr.. Sims announced his policy in re-
gard 10 the trusts.
Keep right after them. he said
would be his slogan.
He added that. while the laws govern
ing great corporations were FAR from
perfect their strict enforcement had
already done much TO compel some re-
spect for the viii Of the people and to
renew confidence in the ability OF the
Government to enforce the statutes.
Sims Talks Confidently.
Sitting in his Office. where he was
planning his coming fight, he said:
The policy OF my office viii be a rigid
enforcement of all the laws. Violators

Large corporations which violate the
law will be treated in exactly the same

SCHOOL BOARD
DISPLEASED By
LONG ABSENCE
Superintendent Away
Since Monday and Did
Not Attend Meeting.

If Dr. William E. Chancellor.
of the public schools
of the District of Columbia, is not
able TO give a good and sufficient
reason why he was absent from the
meeting of the Board of Education
on last Wednesday, and absent from
the city since last Monday without
giving any explanation therefor, it
is highly probable that his resigna-
ton will follow in the course of the
next few weeks.
While the Board of Education has
not taken any action, it is known
that the subject has been fully dis
cuSsed by the different members.
and that a majority of them feel
deeply the apparent Slight to them
as officials of the school system.
and the subsequent injury to the
discipline of the schools.
Object to His Absence.
A careful canvass Of a majority OF the
members CT the School Board develops
these facts:
That members individually look with
marked disfavor upon the Su2erin.en-
dents absence at any time without
leave.
That they believe he has himself laid
down conditions for his absence by hith-
erto invariably asking and obtaining
leave of absence.
That in this case his absence without
leave is the more marked because he IS
believed TO have known surely that the
board expected from him at its meeting
last Wednesday-two days after fis de-
parture-specifc and important recon-
mendations for the order Of the system
next year.
That all efforts to reach him have
failed.
That the members consider it possible
that some special need may have called
Dr. Chancellor away and kept him
away
That accordingly, they wait TO aear
what statement he has 20 make.
