OF NO ASSISTANCE
Confident Of Its Ability to Han
die Venezuela.

The Hague, Aug. 21.-The govern
ment of The Netherlands has no in
tention of giving out the terms of its
reply to President Castro of Venezu,
ella until it's communication to the
chief executive of that republic is
actually delivered. This will be done
through the intermediary of the Ger
man minister at Caracas, who is
watching out for Hollands interests in
Venezuela.
The suggestion has been mooted by
some politicians that the other powers
having claims against Venezuela will
join with Holland in united action
against that republic. This proposal
however, does not meet with favor
here and no. such suggestion from any
other power has officially reached The
Hague
The government of The Netherlands
fs confident of it's ability to handle the
situation single handed now that it
has the sympathetic support of the
United States.

BATTLEsHIPS AT SYDNEY.
Australians Show Spirit of CordiaIity
in Various Ways.

Sydney, N. S. w, Aug. 21.-The
first day of the sojourn of the Amer
lean battleships at Sydney has passed
and while there have been compara-
lively few functions the spirit of cor
diality and whole hearted welcome
which fiNs the people of this city has
found opportunity for expression in
several ways. Numberless harbor
craft have circled all day long around
the white battleships anchored in the
bay and the shores and headlands
were crowded by thousands of inter-
ested spectators.
The admirals of the fleet and the
captains of the various battleships
came ashore and called officially upon
Lord Northcote, governor general of
Australia, and Sir Harry Rawson, gov
ernor of New South Wales. The Amer.
ican officers were saluted upon land
ing. Later the governor returned this
official call and was in his turn saluted
by the American fleet.
In the evening Lord Northcote gave
a dinner in honor of the American Off
GERS. There wree present sixty-six
Americans, including the admirals and
captains, as well as Sir Harry Raw
son, the British admiral, ministers of
the state and of the commonw eaIth
and a number Of judges and local ma
val and military officers of high rank.
The entire population is given over
to holiday making.

Daughters Of Wealthy Wisconsin Man
Probably Kidnapped.

Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 21.-Detectives
are trying to penetrate the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of
Gertrude and Dorothy Beihn, daugh-
tiers of Jacob Beihn, one of the wealth.
lest residents of Southern Wisconsin.
The girls, eleven and fourteen years
old, respectively, have not been seen
since their parents left them sitting in
hammock on the lawn at home Mon
day night. Many people believe the
girls were kidnapped and are held for
ransom.
Members of the household say that
Monday night a closed carriage was
driven up to the Beihn gate It is de-
clared that a man was heard sharply
commanding the girls to enter and
that they obeyed him. The horses
then were whipped and the victims
rapidly carried away.
After an unsuccessful search by
relatives and local authorities Mr..
Beihn came to Kenosha and engaged
detectives to work upon the case.

JOHNSON WILL

Minnesota Governor Accepts
Third Nomination.
REGRETS ACTION TAKEN

Better Judgment, but Duty to His
Party compeIs Him to Yield-Has
Been Declared the Nominee and
Will Put Up the Best Fight In His
Power.
st. Paul, Aug. 21-Governor John

can get away from making the race
without putting the party in a hole.

had happened.
"Had committee been named to
inform me of the honor conferred and
asked my acceptance my answer
would have been prompt, but no such
opportunity has been given me. The
nomination has been made, I have
been declared the nominee and so
there you are. 1t really leaves me in
an embarrassing position and with the
party in a similar position, so you see
the only thing can do is to yield"
An effort was made to secure the
governors opinion on the reception of
his acceptance by the public at large
following his original declaration to
the effect that he would not have the
nomination under any consideration,
but he could not be drawn into any
...
Il do not care whether it makes me

ernor Johnson. Il said I did not want

PICKED UP In MIDlAKE.
One of Yachts Crew of Two Perishes
During Storm.

Milwaukee, Aug. 21.-Beaten about
by a storm of wind and rain from Mon
day night until Wednesday night the
little schooner rugged yacht Juanita of
Milwaukee was picked up in midlake
by the steamer Helena and brought
here in tow, with David Beebe and his
dead shipmate, Philip Thompson,
aboard. The death of Thompson oc-
cured while the little yacht was in
midlake and in the height of the
storm. Thompson had been steadily
at the ti1ler for hours when he arose
to put on a coat. Without word he
dropped to the bottom of the boat
dead. AS the Juanita was being towed
near the Milwaukee harbor she sank

reading and study of the English Bible
as literary work of the highest and
purest type, side by side with the
poetry and prose which it has inspired
and in large part formed.
IS. The National Education AS
sociation wishes to congratulate the
secondary schools and colleges of the
country that are making an effort to
remove the taint of professionalism,
and other abuses, that have crept into
students sports. This taint can be re-
moved only by leading students,
alumni, aud school faculties to recog-
nize that inter- school games should
be played for craftsmanship and not
merely for victory.
II. It is important that schoo
buildings and school grounds should
be planned and decorated so as to
serve as effective agencies for educat-
ing, not only the children, but the
people as whole, in matters of taste.
The school is becoming more and
more community center, and its
larger opportunities impose new OBJ
legations. School buildings should be
attractive as well as healthful, and the
adjoining grounds should be laid out
and planned with appropriateness
and beauty.
IS. The highest ethical standards
of conduct and of speech should be in
sisted on among teachers. 1t is not
becoming that commercialism Or self
seeking should shape their actions, or
that intemperance should make their
utterances. A code of professional
conduct clearly understood and rig
orously enforced by public opinion is
being slowly developed, and must one
day control all teachers worthy of the
same.
49,. In teaching, as in every other
kind of work, the best service is Sc
cured by finding the Individual best
fitted to the particular place as in
dicated by training, experience, and
meritorious service; the National
Education Association therefore heart
lily approves a merit sytem of pro-
noting teachers and filing vacancies.
We assert, furthermore, that the
grounds upon which teacher may
apply for position are preparatory
training, experience, and meritorious
service,-in a word professional fit
ness, alone; and that tha use of other
personal and political arguments toll
secure appointment is deplorable in
high professional standard.

REFUSES TO LEAVE POST
Venezuela Recalls Consul at Island of
Aruba, D. w. |.

Willemstad, Curacao, Aug. 21.-The
Dutch island of Arabu has furnished
the latest incident in the existing diff
Guilty between The Netherlands and
Venezuela. Five days ago a VeneZu-
elan coastguard vessel arrived at Aru
ba for the purpose of taking away the
Venezuelan consul. AS soon as the
purpose of the visit became known
the people of the island started a
demonstration. They crowded around
the residence of the consul and want
ed to haul down his flag. The gov
ernor Of the island appeared however,
and succeeded in putting an end to
the disorder.
The consul refused to leave his post,
saying that illness made his going
away impossible and consequently the
coastguard vessel sailed away with her
mission unfulflled.

UNABLE TO FIX
RESPONSIBILITY
Witnesses Fail to Identity
Leaders of Mob.
TROOPS QUIT SPRINGFIELD

Only One Regiment of Infantry and
Eight Troops of Cavalry Remain on
Duty and This Force VIII Be Re-
duced Still Further-Negro Refu-
gees Continue to Leave Town in
Increasing Numbers.
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-The local
authorities have begun the task of
overcoming the handicap on their eff
forts to fix responsibility for the re-
cent riot caused by the failure of the
coroner's inquest to hold any one re-
sponsible for the death of Scott Bur
ton, the negro 1ynched in the 'black
belt" last Friday night. The open
verdict Of the coroner's jury was a
blow to the hopes of the states attor-
ney and other Off fcia1s, who saw in it
confirmation of the suspicion that wit
nesses to the rioting would fail to
recognize leaders of the mob when
called upon to testify in public pro-
ceedings. Of the four witnesses upon
whom Coroner Woodruff had depended
for the success of his first riot inquest
only one appeared on the stand. That
witness displayed an unusually poor
memory when confronted with incisive
questions and the absence of the e.other
three made the coroner's task futile.
The departure of all except two
regiments of the state militia caused
renewal of the threats that there
would be something doing after the
soldiers leave" and this feeling was
reflected in the anxiety which was
manifest in all circles of the city. In
fact renewal of the rioting is ex-
pected momentarily and the negroes
fear that once the mob is
started again no power of the state
can prevent the most serious disor-
ders.
Force to Be Further Reduced.
Only the Seventh regiment of in
fantry and eight troops of the state
cavalry regiment are on duty. This
force may be reduced still further, ac-
cording to common report, but none
Of the officials in charge would con-
firm or deny this. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the immediate return of nor
NAL conditions is the goal sought in
all quarters. This can be accom-
Dlished only by the withdrawal of the
;roops from the streets and the abro-
cation of the orders which, in many |
Instances, require the presentation of
special orders before citizens can pass
sentries stationed at certain street |
sorners. The regulations of the city

LATE ELECTION NULLlFlED
The Towns Right to Regulate Sa-

Law - The Prohibitionists Will
Make Strong Fight.

MEDFORD, Or, June 49, = Judge
H. K. Hanna this morning sustained
the former order enjoining the
County Court OF Jackson County from
declaring the city of Medford dry un-
der the state law as a result OF the
county having cast a majority in fa-
vor of prohibitionist at the recent
election. In his decision the court
practically decided that the late cleo
ton was nulliied, as far as this
county is concerned, and that the
County Court will be sustained in au-
thorizing the licensing Of saloons in
all precincts which voted in favor OF
saloons two years, regardless Of the
last election.
In effect, the Medford charter is
held good as opposed to the state law.
The demurrer filed in the case by Mr..
Colvig, counsel for the prohibitionists,
will be argued before the court tomor-
row, and if not sustained, an appeal
will at once be taken to the Supreme
Court, where the matter, being such
as affects public welfare, it is hoped
an immediate hearing can be had
1t is evident that long legal con
test will ensue. The Prohibitionists
being now before the court in the
contest, no effort will be lost to affect
their ends. 1t is evident today that
it will be impossible to enact an ordi-
nance by the present city council to
close the saloons under the city char
ter, The recent licenses issued with
the understanding that they would be
revoked in case the county was de-
clared dry, will now run until the
action of the supreme court in the
matter The. County Court adjourned
until June 80, but there will be action
when it reconyenes.
