BECOMING EFFEMiNATE.
Iowa Educator Sacrifices chivalry to
What in His Opinion is the Truth.

Iowa Educator Sacrifices Chivalry to
What in His Opinion is the Truth.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 6.-President
G.. Stanley Hall, of Clark university,
stirred the delegates to the Iowa state
teachers convention yesterday, in an
address, In which he declared that
there were too many women teachers
in the schools, and that American
schools were becoming "effeminized."
There are 1,400 teachers attending the
convention, and nearly three-fourths
of them are women.
"The time has come" said President
Hall, "for a movement for mems
rights. For thirty years we have had
war for women's rights, and now the
pendulum has swung too far. This is
an age of REORGANIZATION especially
in the schools. Men should be prin-
cipals, with men under them, so that
they will be contradlcted once in a
while. In the schools now, where we
find men principals, they have only
women under them, and the men are
becoming sisses."
He also deplored the ban on corpo'
raj punishment and opposed co-educa
ton. He compared the schools OF
Germany with the schools Of America
to the advantage of Germany.
In the evening fourteen Iowa col
leges held alumni banquets. Former
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M
Shaw was the chief speaker at the
Cornell banquet. He did not discuss
politics.

vass of the city for support in tho
work of making an up-to-date direc-
tory for Norfolk. Norfolk certainly
needs a new directory If any town ever
did, as the one now in use is obsolete
and never was very accurate. Every
city in the state the size of Norfolk
has a city directory, and as 1t is an
article that is used every day OF a
business mans life Norfolk is in ur-
gent need of new one at this time.
The opportunity is offered by Mr.. Rob
ison to have such work compiled by
one who is thoroughly familiar with
directory making, and 1t is up to the
public spirited business men of the
city to give the enterprise sufficient
support to enable it to go through.

TRAINS CLASH
ELEVEN KILLED
Many More Are Injured in Col
lision, Some Of Them
Fatally.
IT OCCURS IN LOUISIANA
Great Northern Express Train Crash
es Into Rear Of a New Orleans
and Northeastern Local.
Error Of Trainmen.

New Orleans, Nov. 12.--It was
heavy price in human flesh and
blood that paid the penalty for the
errors of railroad trainmen when
Great Northern express crashed into
the rear of New Orleans and
Northeastern local train at Little
Woods station, a fishing and hunt
ing camp on Lake Pontchatrain, 12
miles from this city, yesterday. Elev-
en- dead and many more of them in
jured, some of them fatally, is the
record of the wreck, which was at
tended by unusually grewsome
scenes in the fog-bound swamps Of
the lake shore. To add to the horror
of the situation, the wreckage
caught fire, and only the heroic work
of the surviving passengers prevent
ed the cremation of those pinned
down III the debris.
Between Slidell and New Orleans
the Great Northern trains run over
the tracks of the New Orleans and
the Northeastern from Hattiesburg
and other Mississippi points is due
to arrive i'll New Orleans at S20 a.
m, and was followed by fast Great
Northern train from Covington and
other points in St. Tammany parish,
which is scheduled to reach here at
IS: 40 a M. Yesterday morning the
Northeastern train was late, and the
difference of twenty minutes between
the running time of the trains was
considerably reduced.
When Engineer Blackman of the
Great Northern train took the North
eastern tracks at Slidell he says he
was given the usual right of way
signal and proceeded to shove his
train toward New Orleans at a for
miles-anhour clip. AS the sta
ton at Little Woods was approach
ed he discerned the Northeastern To-
cal, which suddenly loomed up from
beneath the canopy of fog. Fireman
McCarty leaped from the engine as
soon as he saw the local, but the en-
gineer, Blackman, applied his brakes
and remained at the throttle while
! the ponderous locomotive plowed its
way through the train ahead, leav-
ing behind it channel of death and
destruction Blackman crawled out
practically unscathed, while his fire
man sustained painful injuries in his
leap.
No one on the Great Northern ex-
press was seriously hurt, but those
aboard the Northeastern local were
not so fortunate The nose of the big
express engine had torn its way en-
tirely through the two rear coaches
Of the local, and the crash and sound
Of splitting timbers was followed by
the walls and groans of those pinned
down in the wreckage wrought by
the passing of the huge machine.

ANNUAL FLOWER SHOW IS OPEN
A Magnificent Array of Flowers and
Decorative Plants Is to Be Seen.

Owing to; the drouth last year the
members of FSims-Watson Chapter,
United Daughters of the Confederacy
were not able to give their flower
show, ibut the event has been revived
this year on much more magnif-
cent scale than ever before attempt
ed.
Ever since the announcement was
made last spring that competitive
exhibition of flowers and decorative
plants would be given this fall the
people of the city have looked for
ward 20 rhe event with good deal
of pleasure, knowing that a treat
was IN store for them.
The fondest anticipation of those
V ho had the matter in charge has
been realized in floral display that
would be a credit to a city of much
greater pretensions than Waxahaha-
chic, and the show deserves the sup
port and encouragement of every one
who believes in home Identification.
The Trippet building in which the
show Is being held is we'll adapted
for the purpose ard the exhibits
have been arranged in a way to pro-
duce a pleasing effect. The allotted
space has been well taken up by ex-
bibEors. The profuse decorations of
i autumn leaves make suitable con-
! trast of the setting of greenery and
| gorgeous blossoms. The scene is
pretty by daylight, but with the
electrical illuminations at night a
wonderful picturesque effect will be
produced
1t would be difficult to enumerate
all the flowers and plants on exhibi
ton. In the show windows of the
building are lovely displays O

LEAPS FROM TRAIN
Negro Being Brought Here from Dsl-
las Makes Break for Liberty

While the Waxahachie-Garret
train on the Houston and Texas Cen
trail was speeding along at the rate
of about thirty miles an hour We'd
neSday afternoon on it's return from
Garrett a negro prisoner named p. L.
Lewis, who was being brought here
from Dallas by Sheriff Forbes, made
daring break for liberty by leap
ing through car window. Mr.. For
bes heard the window rattle and
looked around just in time to see his
prisoner disappear The train was
stopped as quickly as possible and
Mr.. Forbes got off to give chase.
He started back down the
track and soon saw the negro
lying in the weeds on the right of
way. Thinking that he had been in
jured in the fall Sheriff Forbes beck
oned for Conductor Winkler to back
the train so as to get the negro
aboard. While the train was backing
down the negro sprang to his feet
and executed a lively sprinting stunt
through a cotton patch. Sheriff For,
bes shot at the negro several times
but this only served to accelerate his
speed. Mr. Forbes then requested

ties and the bloodhounds out as soon
as he reached town with his train,
and then began a pursuit of the fleet
footed negro. Jack Neal, who soon
appeared on the scene and joined
Officer Forbes in the search
for the negro He was located in a
cotton patch about two miles from
the railroad and again placed under
arrest. He was too near tagged out
to offer resistance.
Lewis claims to be doctor A few
months ago he was convicted in the
county court on charge of practic-
ing medicine without license and
fined 500. He made a convict bond
and was paying his fine on the
monthly installment plan. Tuesday
the negro's bondsmen surrendered
him and Sheriff Forbes went to Dali
las that night to arrest him on an
alias capias. The negro was being
brought back to Jail when he attemp-
ted TO escape by jumping from the
train. His effort to get away wal
made when the train was about half
way between Boyce and Waxaha-
chic. The negro said he wanted a
drink and Sheriff Forbes told him to
go get 1t, never suspecting that, he
would try to escape. A few
moments later the sheriff heard the
window near the water cooler being
raised and just az he looked around
the negro dropped to the ground. Al
ter his recapture had been effected
Lewis was brought to town and
placed in Jail. He will go to the
county farm to work out the re-
mainder of his fine.

PLuNGEs To DEATH
Youngest Son Of Famous Ed

Story Window.
WAS PURELY ACCIDENTAL
The Young Lawyer Believed to Have
Stumbled as He Endeavored to
Close Office Window.
Badly Maneled.

New York, Nov. 12.-Harvey w.
Watterson, a lawyer, and youngest
son of Henry Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier-J Journal,
plunged to his death from the nine
teenth floor of his office building at
81 Wall street late yesterday after
noon. His body shot downward 110
feet and landed upon the roof of a
ten-story building adjoining. Almost
every bone was broken and the head
was crushed. Death was practically
instantaneous. While there were no
eyewitnesses to the tragedy 1t was
entirely accidental. Mr.. Watterson' 8
hat and overcoat were on his closed
desk. Presumably he had attempted
to lower the window, and either

was in front of the low sill, or losing
his footing in some manner unknown

on the roof below.
Mr. Watterson was 80 years old
and married He was a junior men,
Der of the law firm of Wing. Russell
& Watterson.
Shortly before 4 o'clock, after
having discussed case with a clerk
in the office, Mr. Watterson remark
ed that he was going home and
passed into the library through the
Office of F. B. Bagg, the managing
clerk, into his private Office, the door
of which closed and locked automa-
tically as he entered.
Bagg was the last person to see
the young lawyer alive.
A few minutes later the superin-
tendent Of the building rushed in
and informed Thomas Wing, senior
member of the firm, that he belieyed
Mr. Watterson had fallen from the
window and looked down from the
window. The mangled form was seen
lying on the roof below.
The body was removed TO the
Watterson home after the coroner
had declared that the death of Mr..
Watterson was due entirely to acct
dent. A peculiar feature of the case
was that Mr.. Watterson's watch and
cigarette case in one pocket and a
pipe in another pocket were not
damaged by the fall.

THE BUREAU OF COTTON OATH
Conference Of the Planters Believe this
Will Aid in Present Crisis.

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 12,-The
establishment OF central bureau
for'the gathering of data with regard
to the cotton crop was tentatively ap-
proved by the conference of planters
and others whose interests are asso-
ciated with the production Of cotton
here yesterday as means of en-
abling the farmer to keep In closer
touch with conditions throughout
the cotton belt and more judiciously
market the crop. The resolution,
which was introduced by E. H. Fra
zier of Georgia, was adopted subject
to revision by special committee.
Another plan for the betterment of
the method of handling the crop was
suggested by H. H. Rogers OF Mis-
sissippi, who proposed the formation
OF an association along the lines Of
the National Farmers Union, the
membership, however, to include all
those whose interests are allied with
the growth and marketing Of the
staple.f Although Mr.. Rogers re-
marks brought forth considerable
applause, action was deferred.
Yesterdays discussions dealt with
practically every phase OF present
conditions in the south as they affect
the farmer. The amendment of re-

ed the movement throughout the
south and declared that there had
been but few night rider depreda-
tions in the cotton belt. The posting
of gins, he said, was not by organi2-
ed bands. but by individuals under
the mistaken idea that ginners could
be intimidated and the ginning of
cotton stopped, causing the price of
the staple to advance. The posting of
gins, he declared, without question
was because of the low price of cot
ton. He reviewed conditions in the
cotton growing states from the sea-
son of 1908, and asserted that the
present low price of cotton was due
to manipulation.

REUNION Of WALLA
WALLA PIONEERS
What Ben Burgunder Has TO
Say of Early Days With
SChWabaCher Bros.
Came to Garden City When There
Was Nothing but Few Log
Huts and Scattering Tents.

The Walla Walla Pioneer A. ISOLATION
met IN force at the Garden City last
week, enjoying a notable reunion. The
Union OF the 9th has this to say Of Ben
Burgunder, q pioneer Of the Inland Em-
pire, now living in Colfax:
Ben Burgunder, one Of the oldest
pioneers of the Walla WaIla valley and
resident Of this city for many years,
but at present citizen Of COifax, arrived
here yesterday to attend the annual re-
union Of the Walla Walla County Pioneer
association, which will meet in the base
ment Of the Christian church today.
Mr.. Burgunder came to WaIla Walla
when there was nothing but few log
huts and scattering tents where now
some Of the most substantial business
blocks in the city are located. He is
typical member of that army Of staunch
men who blazed the way for present
prosperity and wealth. Coming here, as
he did when there was little to attract
the eye from the standpoint Of an Ordi-
nary observer, MFR. Burgunder began his
career with a determination which has
yielded good results,
Speaking Of conditions as they existed
when he resided in Walla WalIa Mr..
Burgunder said yesterday AFTERNOONS:
Yes, remember well the early settle
ment Of this city and was a constant oh.
server OF it's steady growth for many
years. In the early pioneer days | was
connected with the Schwabacher firm
when it was controlled by the Schwa-
bacher brothers. Later | went to Col
lax and was engaged in the mercantile
business in partnership with this com
pany for several years.
The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1908-08-14

go The first brick building in Walla
Walla was erected on the corner of Third
and Main streets by the Schwabacher
company in 1861, and was then the
finest and safest building in the city,
being fire proof. Since that time the
commercial progress Of Walla Walla has
been marvellous, until today far differ
ent appearance is presented than what
was expected at that time. Instead OF a
few wooden buildings and mere settle
ment, the city has grown to be one Of
the cleanest and most prosperous cities
in the state, and am proud to be able
to say that | was at one time resident
Of the Garden City.
"' Tomorrow the Walla WalIa County
Pioneers association meets here and we
are expecting big time. When we old
pioneers get together we are in some re-
spects like lot Of school boys, and live
over again many Of the incidents in our
early careers. On these occasions we
meet former friends whom we would not
see otherwise and the good fellowship
which exists among us is typical OF the
spirit OF union which prevailed in the
days when we were a few persons in q
vast unsettled territory and needed to
band together against possible dangers
from many quarters
