DECLARES WAR ON
SCHOOL "FRATS"
Chicago Board of Education to
Stamp Out High School
Secret Societies
Pupils Who Face Suspension
Probably Will Appeal to
the Courts

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Open warfare
was declared yesterday between the
Chicago school officials and the high
school fraternities and sororities, on
which the board of education has placed
its ban.
At the Lakeview high school two
boys Were suspended for refusal to
withdraw from the fraternity to which
they belong.
AT each of the city high schools the
boards ultimatum was served on the
boys and girls who have not signed
the anti-fraternity pledge. AS the pu-
pills entered the classrooms they were
handed card announcing that If the
pledges were not returned Monday
with the signatures of both parent and
pupil suspension for one month would
become effective automatically in each
case
Only public withdrawal from the Sc
cret societies and special appeal to
the board Of education, the pupils were
told. would obtain reinstatement.
1t seems probable that several hun
dred pupils will be suspended Monday.
Just how Far the fraternities will
carry on their fight will be decided at
conference According to present
plans arrangements will be made to
obtain either a court injunction pre-
venting the board from enforcing it's
rule until test case is decided, or a
writ of mandamus restoring those who
are suspended 1t is possible that the
Injunction will be applied for to fore
stall the wholesale suspension prom
ised Monday.

SMALL GAINS MADE
IN TRADE FIGURES
Pig Iron Production Is Greater
Than at Any Previous
Week in Year
Enlarged Movement of Grain
and Cotton at Good Prices
Helps JObbers

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Dun's Review
or Trade says:
Small gains are the rule in trade re-
ports, although changes are often IN
significant and il is only in the aggre-
gate that any tangible progress can be
discerned. interruption of holiday
made comparisons with the same week
last year unusually adverse. but indus
trlal reports indicate that much ma
chinery that has been idle for many
months resumed after Labor day. Pro
duction of pig iron is now at a hlgner
rate than at any previous time TINS
year and many hands have returned TO
work at the textile mills. while ship
ping departments in all wearing ap-
parel houses are beginning TO feel the
pressure demand for fall and winter
trade. Trade in domestic hides is light.
BradStreerS says;
The advance of the fall season and
the notable enlargement of the move
ment of cereals and cotton to market
at good prices have made for a further
moderate expansion in jobbing and re-
tail trade and collections. This is es-
Decially marked at western, Pacific
coast and southern centers. but the
point is made that agricultural sec
tions have done better relatively than
the large industrial cities in the mat
ter OF retail trade, possibly because of
warm weather or the reduced purchas-
ing power of city workers and the high
prices paid for farm products.

FIGURES ASKED ON
WASTED RESOURCES
National Conservation Commits
sion Makes Public Its Sched-
ule of Inquiries
Waters, Forests, Lands and
Minerals of Country Are to
Be Investigated

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE ma
tionaI conservation commission has
lust made public the first of it's sched-
ules on which the inventory of the
country's natural resources is being
conducted.
1t is evident from the inquiries be-
ing sent out that the commission in
tends to hunt down waste in all its
varied forms and to devise some means
to prevent it. This Is apparent in the
general schedules to each of the four
sections of the commission-wate
forests, lands and minerals.
For instance, the schedule relating
to lands inquiries into waste of soil
by erosion. That schedule also sug-
gests waste through bad agricultural
methods" The lands schedule likewise
goes into waste in the carrying ca
pacity of the public range in the west
The section on waters is inquiring
into how much land capable of irriga-
tion is wasted by not being irrigated.
More important still are it's suggestive
inquiries tending to show that we are
wasting our waterways to an alarm
ing extent by not using them as we
should.
Perhaps the greatest form of waste
that relating to water power. Two of
the inquiries are as follows:
Are existing developed water
powers put to their full use?
ITO what extent can coal be saved
by the substitution of water power?'
Under the head of flood waters, the
commission inquiries as ito what extent
are flood waters wasted"
The minerals section of the commits
sion is seeking to find out "the nature
and extent of waste in the mining, ex-
traction and use of mineral products
and methods of preventing or lessen
ing this waste"
The commission is also conducting a
census by correspondence to find out
the common wastes in "the wood using
industries"
The returns from the inquiries will
form part Of the report of the conser-
vation commission.

Changes in Mining StoCks for Week

There were only three business days
IN mining stocks last week, and they
were uneventfuL On Thursday, the
opening day after the holidays, there
was a break in Goldfield Con. from

$500, eastern selling orders being
given as the cause of the break. The

aroused by statement from Phila-

TOO BAD! TOO BAD!

We are sorry that the dailies OF
this city have given away to the
public the great financial snap OF
owning a newspaper. We have
studiously tried to keep up appear
ances and make the public think we
have the best business on earth, in
fact, that we are making money
hand over fist.
We have walked the streets with
our head up waen We had not q
nickel in our pockets and knew the
children wero hungry at home and
the good wife ready to take in wash
ing to support the family, yet we
tried to keep up appearances.
The dailies carried the deception
even farther. They have bought
machinery on time, contracted for
buildings and moved into more lux
urious quarters. They have essayed
to be political leaders and financial
guides. They have mingled with
the wealthy and smoked fragrant
and expensive cigars in public, in
fact, they have played it we'll, till in
an evil hour, in the heat of jealous
rage, they have given the whole
snap away and dragged US all from
the high pedestal Of financial pros
ps.ity we were seeming to occupy.
1t is really serious. Since this ex-
posure our butcher has notified US
that our liver bill must be paid in
advance and the miller has notified
US that his third grade dour is very
wholesome and good enough for
anybody. One man, of practical
nature, has even paid up q part of
his long past due subscription and
promised us some uVergrown rad
ishes on the balance.
Now it was shame for these
editors to show up one anothet's
financial standing in that way. We
admit that we have had aspirations
to control a great daily in Chanxte.
We thought, aside from the won.
derful power over public opinion,
that the editers had incomes be
yond the dreams of averiee. Our
idols have been shattered and our
ambitions thwarted. From what we
can gather from their own state
meuts about each other, each one
is in debt to an amount about twice
the value of his plant, and only runs
a paper by sufferance of his credi-

POWERS PARDONED

Coy. Wilson OF Ky, has granted
an unconditional pardon TO Caleb
Powers aud i'm Howard.
Howard was in the penitentiary
serving a life sentence, convicted
oy "a Ky. court of the murder of Gov.
Gobel.
Powers has had several trials for
completely in the affair.
Immense petitions from all over
the country were se~t to TIE Gov.
praying for the psrdon of Powers.
The public generally are reioiced
over the pardon and think the Gov.
only performed an act of righteous

tors. Neither denies the Statement
of the other, so we are constrained
to believe that each is about right
in the financial estimate of the
other. But, say, boys, what has all
this to do with the politica! sltua-
tlon? Personal abuse and an at
tempt to injure your opponent In a
6naacial way or any other but
creates sympathy for him and in
jurss the cause you would espouse,
The editor of the Tribune seems to
think that slander and personal
abuse Is about all there is to a
political campaign, and even the
Sun has been known to step over
the line of prOpriety. Personally
we haye come In, in times past,
for little of the venom of each, SO
we are just about as much interested
in the outcome of the fight as the
proverbial old woman when he hus.
band was engaged in deadly con
hlct with the bear.
However, we must be allowed to
commend the article in the Sun
Monday evening, wherein it sup
ported by affidavit its assertion that
the Tribune had branded as lie.
Other proof and statements are to
follow.
The Tribune tries to evade that
accusation about the phone message
to Thayer, by saying that it did not
phone to a committeeman. That is
but an evasion.
The message was sent to Harvc
Lowrance. ex-connitteeman, and
post master of Thsyer.
