the Second district, to have charge of
the publicity bureau, was a wise one.
Mr.. Adler is the head of the Lee syn
dictate OF newspapers and the editor
and publisher of the Davenport Times.
In the newspaper world he has been
a great success. The press of the
state will congratulate the committee
on the selection of Mr.. Adler. The
speakers bureau will be in charge of
another member of the committee,
either Mr.. Dewitt of the Sixth, or Mr..
Haskell of the Fifth. The executive
committee, consisting of s. D. RIM
ker of the Eleventh district; George
S. Wright Of the Ninth, and Carl r.
FRANKIE of the Third, was appointed.
The headquarters or the rooms for
the same will be selected by Chairman

n SCHOOLS.

The report of Secretary Wagner of
the board of education for the school
yea: just passed is an interesting doc
ument. 1t is shown that 4,640 pupils
were enrolled in the public schools
of the city. To teach these the des-
ignated courses 1872 instructors are
necessary, all of whom except six are
women.
The report figured down to a fine
point shows that it costs 50 per month
for each pupil but at that an enor
nous sum is necessary to run the
city's educational institutions.

CLAIM,

Uncle Sam wants to be reimbursed
for the jamestown exposition loan OF
81, 1000, 900. A petition was filed yester.
day in the federal court at Norfolk
to have the government claim OF
SS97,95 3 declared prior to all others.
1t would seem that since the govern.
ment furnished the biggest show at
the exposition with the navy that the
exposition management should have
been able to settle this little bill of

$3.50, 600, 600 to SAT- 900. 600.

An Increase of 1000, 900 spindles in
the cotton factories of the nation.
Another true statement made by
the senator should also be pondered
over well. With 20 per cent of the
civilized worlds population, the
United States raises annually 4S per
cent of the worlds total production
of corn, wheat and oats; furnishes ~
per cent OF the worlds iron, 81 per
cent Of the petroleum.; 81 per cent Of
It's copper; 81 per cent of its coal and
nearly 70 per cent of It's cotton.
A nation capable of such endeavors
is not going to fail no matter what
happens.
These are good figures for the OPP
timists and the real burden bearers
to jam down the throat of every pes
simist who is sitting tight and COM
planning about business conditions.

Governor Cummins Of Iowa, refuses
to confirm the report that he has
decided to withdraw from politics, al
though there is little doubt that he
could command more money by

attraction about politics that seems to
lay strong hold on some men.

man Edward M. Will, charged with
having contributed to the moral de-
linquency of a 15-year-old girl, is pla,
ed on trial Saturday others Of New
York's finest" may also be made to
bear the stigma of his disgrace.

Hoffman in her fathers fiat in West
Forty-fifth street, and was shot by
the girls brother, the bullet inflicting
flesh wound In the leg. Hoffman
was paroled and the policeman will
now have to submit to a judiciary in
quiry into his love affairs.
Relatives of the Hoffman girl de-
clare that Will is not the only police
man responsible for her misfortune
and that she is not the only girl who
has been led from the path of virtue
by the lure of the blue uniform an6
brass buttons.
Wilt has good record on the pc
lice force. Rosie Hoffman is in the
hands of the Childrens society At
the preliminary hearing she refused
to testify against the policeman and
would not admit her age until he,
twin sister testified that she was not
quite sixteen. Will said she told
him she was eighteen. He denied
that there had been any improper re
lations in spite of the discriminating
circumstances under which he was
found.

codefendant, was served at Hotel Lor
raine in the city.
Daniel O'ReiLly, counsel for Eve

ture to the papers in the case. AS
she left the Office Mrs. Thaw was
asked whether she would subsequent
ly make public the case of estrangs
ment which led to the suit. She re
piled:
"The public will never know"
The papers served today briefly re
cite the fact of the marriage and sc
forth that at the time of the mar
riage of plaintiff to the defendant
the defendant was lunatic and of
unsound mind and was incapable of
making a valid contract of marriage

"Our business into Los Angeles has
increased in a satisfactory manner dur
ing the present year." said j. B. Alex

hundred tons at the beginning of the
year to recent consignments of 1900 and
1909 tons for Los Angeles. We are now
getting goods consigned in bond direct
for Los Angeles from Great Britain,
France and Germany"
There is no indication that the Amer

at any Los Angeles county port. Deliv-
cries continue to be made at the old
Santa Fe freight station in Los An

steamers at San Diego and shipped by

however. is less than the charges from
