DOODLE D[[S FAIL
TO GET POSITIONS
Election Commissioners Deny
There Is Any independence
League Party
Hearst's Adherents Too Few to
Be Considered as Warrant
ing Representation

The ambition of the doodle dees to
have the election commissioners con-
slider them a real party and appoint
their members TO positions as election
officials at the coming primary and
special bond elections was thwarted
last evening at the regular meeting Of
the board. Seven hundred and fifty
ofhcials were recommended by Regis
trar Harry j. Zemansky and approved
by the board, but not a member of the
Independence league was on the roll,
the republicans and democrats evenly
dividing the places between them. This
was not because the commissioners be-
lfeved there were not enough Inde-
pendent leaguers to take part in count
ing the votes, but on the ground that
the league did not cast sufficient votes,
as ii claimed, to entitle it to consid
Grafton.
Il deny that there is an Independence
league party" said Commissioners King.
REFUSE SALARY INCREASE
The question OF increasing salaries
missioners' time. Miss Agnes L. Ken
drick. stenographer TO the board, Pc
titioned that her salary be increased
from 500 to $125. She claimed that
steno8raphers in other city depart
ments secure the higher rate. The
board decided that the petition could
not be entertained, as it had no power
TO increase a salary. Commissioner
Cameron King presented a resolution
calling upon the mayor and supervisors
to create the positions of assistant dep
uty registrars to be filled by the six
regular employees OF the commission,
whose length of service has made them
more efficient than are the temporary
clerks, but whose pay is now the same
800 month. King argues that the
increased wage would add only S1,S00
TO the yearly budget The commission
ers took the matter under considera-
ton.
w. Gleason. care taker of the voting
machines, was dropped from the rolls
of the board, owing to the nonuse of
the machines. A communication was
sent TO the chief of police asking that
detective be detailed to aid the board
in investigating alleged cases of false
registration in lodging houses and
questionable resorts.
SELECT ELECTION CLERKS
Registrar Zemansky submitted a list
of 10 polling places for the primary
and special bond elections. OF the ESQ
clerks nominated, one-fourth were

SOUNDS A WARNING
NOTE TO TEACHERS
Noted Educator Advocates More
Training to Fit Pupils for
Work of Life
Traces Divorce Evil to WaStefuI
Wives and Improvident
Husbands

The three day convention of the San
Francisco teachers institute came TO
a close yesterday after the most sue
cessful session held here IN many
years. DR.. James E. Russell. the noted
dean of the teachers college of Co
lumbia university, was. again the
speaker of the day, and before the
largest audience of the assembly he
sounded a sharp note OF warning for
more practical courses OF study for
boys and girls in the public schools.
Russell spoke on the subject The
Ethical Aspect of Teaching
Tracing in detail many of the great
national evils, he told the teachers
that superficial methods of instruction
were responsible in large degree for
them. and declared that until school
courses were so modified that boys
were taught how to make a living
and girls were trained to economy and
fitted to become frugal housewives the
republic was in actual danger of dis
solution. He said In part:
There should be technical training In the
schools rather than a dearth of less useful
knowledge obtained from books. Boys must be
taught 10 use their hands and made capable of
earning living through their own efforts
Manual training ought TO be & part of every
course. And the girls must be trained so that
Affairs of the home so 10 90 per cent OF the
available income. The tendency OF today on the
part or so many 10 spend all they make and
take no heed of the future presents & grave eco
nomic danger.
Divorce has been much dwelt upon as a ns-
toDsl evil. but IL cannot compare in its bad
effects 10 the evil Of desertion- Thousands OF
husbands desert their wives and families every
year. simply because they are unable to continne
the struggle 10 provide for them. and were
never taught in practical manner how TO
make living. Let this go on and we shall
be at the downfall OF the great American
nation. 1t took only few years to build it up;
it could decline in equally short period
But the question is raised, how could such
system OF Teaching l have recommended be
financed? Soon we shall be 80 poor economically
that cannot afford not provide it,.
DR.. Russelrs address made a pro-
found Impression on the teachers.
When he finished, they greeted him
with tremendous applause.
The Forward Look" was the sub
5ect treated by T. l.. Heaton, deputy
superintendent of schools. Heaton
followed all the lines advocated by
! DR.. Russell, and spoke for more at
tention to manual training and prac-
tical lines of scholarship.
DR.. Bernard Moses, professor Of
history and political science at the
University of California, made an ad-
dress on The Latest Phase OF Gov
ernment Making in the Philippines"
His speech ended the morning session.
and was the concluding feature OF the
convention.
Joining in a great chorus to the
tune of America" the 1900 teachers
who have been attending the sessions
of the institute, and displaying deep
est interest in every new phase of the
problems presented to them, fled slow
ly out. and the convention was ended.

effect on the market in general. but
nothing like a proportional rise being
noted.

management are being changed with
the spring thaw; that the mills are
about to operate more extensively ana
that the situation is looking bright gen

Woman, Prnised by Roosevelt, Great

Indianapolis, Mey 2S.-Mrs. Mary Stubs
Moore. who has served as State statisti-
clan nearly two years. and who con-
cluded to marry instead of asking the
Republican State convention to nominate
her for the office, has just returned from
Washington, where she was felicitated by
the President as being the only woman
who ever held an elective Office IN In
diana and doubly felicitated when he
learned that she had married and would
not hold Office again.
"Ah," she reports the President as
saying, that's fine, That is much bet
ter. l am delighted"
Mrs. Moore was greatly impressed with
Quentin, whom she saw playing baseball
and of whom she heard this story:
when the governors were in confer
ence at the White House Quentin was
seen to approach the chief dOorkeeper and
whisper to him. Quentin evidently was
making a request. but the chief door
keeper shook his head negatively and
frowned. Then the youngster went to
the office Of DR.. RiXey, the PRESIDENT s
physician A few minutes later he came
out with his left arm bound up as though
it had been broken.
I had to do something Quentin was
heard to explain later. My ball team
practiced that afternoon and had missed
school a whole lot anyhow. so 1 had TO

WABASH TERMINAL ON ROCKS
Directors and Officers of Gould
Roads Consider Grave Matters.
Notes for S7,OOO,OOO of the Wheel
Ing and Lake Erie Must BE
Met by August i.

New York. May 2S.-George J. Gould
and the directors and officers Of many
of the railroads that constitute the Gould
system held several meetings to-day.
They discussed generally the situation
OF the different roads, and in particular
the affairs OF the Wabash-PittsbuTg
Terminal Company. which has falling
due on Monday interest amounting 20
about 100000 on its first mortgage bonds.
Though no official staten mt was made,
IT was very generally believed in the
street that a receiver for the company
would undoubtedly be appointed within
a few days. II is known that steps have
been taken for the formation OF a re-
organization committee. It's chairman
will probably be President Wallace, Of
the Central Trust Company. and the
names Of several other prominent bank
ers were mentioned to-day as likely 20
serve on It.
Next 10 the Wabash-Pittsburg Term
inal situation. the most imminent factor
in the Gould situation IS the meeting of
the S.0o.000 per cent notes Of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie on August J.
These notes are guaranteed by the Wa
bash, and failure 10 pay them at ma
turty would mean a receivership for
both roads.
There is every reason TO believe that
arrangements have been made that are
satisfactory TO the holders OF the notes.
As indication Of this II is pointed out
that the notes have advanced more than
ten points In the last week, and there
were bids for them to-day as high as 80.
Both the Wabash and the Wheeling
would be much strengthened by re-
ceivership and subsequent reorganization
of the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Com
pany On this account a receivership IS
likely
