GRAND JURY is
EASY ON VICTIMS
BODY IGNORES MORE CASES
THAN 1T INDIcTs-FIvE TRUE

Criminal cases will be numerous in
this term of the district court accord
ing to the true bills returned by the
grand jury this morning. At this
time five indictments are made public,
all for minor offenses, and eight cases
were ignored by the body. The theft

answer in court for the larceny Of two
bolts Of cloth from the tailoring estab-
lishment OF Elliott Brothers. There

Gillespie to compel him to explain
satisfactorily to the district court for
breaking and entering the c., B. & O.
freight house. Charles Warren and
Robert Brady, arrested two weeks ago
in Eddyville for the theft Of eight
pairs of pants from Wormhoudt Bros,
must account for their actions before
fury.
The cases ignored by the grand jury
follow:
| George Jordan and Charles Young,
attempt to rob Max Pfeiffer; AL Scott,
cheating by false pretences in securing
some clothes from c. f. Halberg &
Co.; George Drake charged with de-
| sorting his wife, Lora; Joseph White,

SCIENTIST SCORES
AMERICAN SCHOOLS
Yankee Children Too Clean and
Pulled Up" Says Famous
Swiss Professor
Vanity and Fashion Are Bane of
Healthy Boy and Girl Hood,
Is His Criticism

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-"American chill
dren are too clean, too vain and too
.puned up American school teachers
are too much inclined to be fashion
able. American parents are too
anxious TO earn money"
This is the view of conditions in the
United Statess pictured by Prof
Fritz Koch OF the Lake Geneva new
school. Switzerland. His opinions
gained during a recent visit to Ameri-
can educational institutions, are stated
in an article on the Conservatism OF
childhood" in the November number of
the Elementary School Teacher, issued
yesterday from the University of Chi
ca go Press.
Professor Koch believes the children
would lose part OF their vanity if the
too fashionable school teachers were
banished from the schoolrooms.
Not least among the detriments to
a natural development of children is
fashion. a forced culture Of vanity and
extrava gance." he declares in discuss
ing the tendency TO place clothes above
learning. Not only do the parents
but also the teachers set the example
To follow slavishly all the extrava-
gances Of fashion appears to be a far
stronger tendency than the desire tC
be refined and simple.
Cleanliness is a virtue not demand
ed from the factory hand while al
work. but children while at play are
constantly reprimanded because OF
their dirty hands, spots on their
clothes and such things. So frequently
are they called away from their real
life because Of this and so dressed W
are many of them, because father can
afford and the mother likes it, that
natural. intense, wild play is gradually
replaced by occupations Of lesser value
or by systematic games, like tennis
basket ball and baseball.
Real boys and girls are rovers in
fields and forests, in alleys and dan
EerOus places"

URGES MARINE CORPS
IMPROVEMENTS IN ORIENT
General c. F. Elliott Recom-

at BremertOn Navy Yard

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Recom-
mendations that the United States
marines serving with the legation
guard at Peking. China. be credited
with double time for such service, as
is the case with those serving in the
Philippines; that legislation be secured
to establish school of instruction for
cooks. and that assistant adjutants and
inspectors of the corps be authorized to
administer oaths are made by General
q. f. Elliott, commandant of the
United States marine corps.
General Elliott in his annual report,
submits estimates OF improvements
as follows: Bremerton navy yard,
shington-Barracks. $3.50 900, Off
GERS quarters, 100000. Philippine islands
Barracks at Canacao, $4,000; officers
quarters, $4,000. The sum of s236, 800
to purchase for the army 10000 rifles
and 100000 rounds of ammunition is
estimated. General Elliott also asks
an increase in the personnel of the
marine corps. consisting of SIT marines
and number of commissioned and
noncommissioned officers. He recon-
mends that a ship of the Dixie or Pan
ther type be converted into a transport
ship for exclusive use of the marine
corps. He says that the work of en-
listing men has been very successful

SURGERY'S MARV[LS
Barred AT MEETING
Philosophical Society Hears OF
Wonderful Feats Performed
by Scientists
Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research Performs Remark
bic Operations on Dogs

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. THE won
ders of experimental surgery accom-
plished at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research, New York city, were
outlined yesterday before the opening
session of the American philosophical
society in much greater detail than
they have ever before been given to
the public.
Among the latest achievements of
science described by DR.. Alexis Car
roll, who has accomplished many of
the most difficult experiments at the
Rockefeller institute, was the trans
planting of one dogs leg TO another
dogs body.
The fox terrier patient readily as
sumed control of the new leg, which
had been taken from dead dog, and
within three weeks the wound showed
only a scar and the dog was up and
around on all fours, three that were
originally his and one of the late Ia
mented other dogs.
The transplanting of cats kidneys
into other cats even after the organs
have b0pn in cold storage 60 days has
proved entirely successful Human ar
teries and jugular veins have been in
terchanged and the patients have not
been able TO tell the difference.
Application of the experiments per-
formed on dogs and cats to the rejuv-
enating of ailing humanity is, in the
announced opinion of DR.. Carroll, en-
tirely possible.
Already the knee joint from the leg
of a dead man has been used to replace
the injured joint of a living person.
A woman too weak to undergo a ma
jOr operation has had her arteries
Joined to those of her husbands cir
culation and heart action has success
fully undergone the shock of the sur
geon's knife and survived an operation
under which she would have otherwise
died
