CONVENTION is OPENED.
Educators Meet for Five day Session
At Cleveland, Ohio.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 2y-The larg-
est and most varied program in the
history of the National Education AS
sociation marked the opening of the
46th annual convention of the organ
izaton which began 5-days SEES
sion here today.
The first session in connection with
the convention was meeting of the
National Council. This was followed
by a meeting of the directors where
the financial reports were made and
resolutions adopted The committee
on appropriations and investigation
proposed that their work be dropped
owing to the general financial condi-
ton of the association and the COM
mittee recommended that Congress be
urged to make appropriations and take
up the work of educational investiga-
ton under the government bureau of
education.
One of the interesting features of the
program although not a part of the
general convention routine. was a
spelling contest between Grade VIII
pupils in which a team of Is, repre-
Senting each of four cities entered. The
Cleveland schools challenged the
schools of the country. Pittsburg. New
Orleans and Erie, Pa, accepted the
challenge.
First there was written contest of
100 words and then oral spelling of
about $50 words when the scores We're
compiled. it was found that Cleveland
won with total of only SO errors
Pittsburg was second with AZ errors
New Orleans. third with Sc. and Erie
fourth with So. Two girls, Mae Thurs
by of Pittsburg and Marie Bolden of
Cleveland had perfect scores. Miss
Bolden is colored and when her record
was announced she was warmly APP
plauded.
The first general session was held in
conjunction with the national council,
where addresses of welcome were
made. responses heard and Charles F.
Thwing, president of Western Reserve
University. Cleveland. made report
upon the Educational progress for the
year"
The second general session met at

were conc erned in the attack on Las Va

if any of the ringleaders in the move
ment are captured in the United States
they are to be tried in the courts OF
that country on charges of violating the
neutrality laws.
At Las Vacas, where the first serious
attack was made, the government has
gained the upper hand. The troops are
now in complete. control of the situation
at that city, the rebels and bandits who
composed the attacking force having been
driven back to the fountains. They will
not be permitted to rest there undisturb.
ed. however, as the government pro-
poses to make an example of its foes
as an object lesson to others who might
join the movement in other sections. To
this end large force of cavalry has been
sent into the bills OF the heels of the
fusitiveS and the chase is now in pro-
SresS
1t is the view of the Mexican govern
ment that Mexican citizens who were
concerned in the recent raids are common
criminals and that the contention to the
contrary on the ground that their acts
were committed in furtherance of a revo
lutionaIy movement will not hold.
Investigation shows that the report of
the capture of Jimnez by bandits is I'M
true. There are no disturbances in the
vicinity of that city. The Mexican Cen
trail trains are running regularly and no
trouble of any kind is reported.
There are no new developments in the
situation. Quiet has been restored in all
of the places attacked and the bandits
have run away into the mountains.
