PERRY STREET CITIZENS BEGIN
 ACTIVE FIGHT.
Council COmmittee Did Not Have { Quorum and Citizens Will
 Start n New Fight.

On the invitation of the chairman of the joint committee of the Montgom- cry City Council to whom was refer red the proposition to remove the street railway track from South Perry Street. a number of citizens met at the Council Chamber last night to dis cuss the matter before the committee It was apparent that those present were unanimously in favor of it's re- moval No quorum of the committees appeared and no action was taken. Af- ter waiting nearly an hour for an op- portunity to be heard, the citizens were told by the chairman that the committee would not consider the mat ter further because it seemed to be im- possible to get a quorum but would report 1t back to the City Council with out recommendation. and let the mat ter he settled there.
 Inasmuch as nearly six months have been spent in delays. and the matta' remains unsettled. a number of citizens met at the rooms of the Commercia Club and decided to call a meeting oi everybody interested to insist upon a prompt and proper settle of the prosposition. They adopted the follow ing call:
 For the purpose of considering the Improvement of South Perry street bN tue TeEnOVdl OI the street TdlIWdA track therefrom so that it may be made the beautiful driveway for which 1t is naturally adapted. we invite al residents and property owners on Soutf Perry street and all others interested in making Montgomery a City Beauti tul to meet at the Commercial Clul rooms at time to be announced lat CT, to urge the City Council to take i'm mediate action.

 It was the sentiment of those pre- sent that the public generally Is in terested in making Perry Street boulevard. and in order to give every badly an opportunity to express AT opinion, 1t was decided to invite tn' | writing of letters to the Secretary ol the Commercial Club to be laid befor, the Committee on City Development fo | it's consideration at a meeting to b, held at an early date.

But let me turn to a more conEe- nial topic-the changes that have ta-
 ken place in our system of education.
 Under the old dispensation, teaching was conducted principally within tho family by private pedagogues. The child from the very beginning was compelled to learn his books by rote. Each boy made a class by himself, and the primer consisted of tome In which moral and natural philosophy. with a few disconnected historical facts thrown in struggled to find a place in the mind of the child learner. Too much attention was devoted to the mennorizing of our classics which, while if produced the effect of mold ing the Chinese mind after the Com Tucian pattern narrowed and cramped at inc same time its mental view, Ger tsin powers of the brain were no doubt developed, but the system in the Tsca of modern civilization and mod ern struggle of existence and world . wide competition had become obsolete, and something more up-to-date and r,Datible with the principles of peda ~orie psych ology had to be. introduced. Tt takas some time to convince. our neonIe of the advantages of any new svstem We are slow in making a new
 denarture. but once the truth strikes horne ana it's praetleability ia demon. atratad we do not hesitate at the rad- Ical nature of the change ner are wa

is CHARGED WITH
SEVEN MURDERS
James Brimingstall Begins Career OF
Assassination When Sixteen
Years Old.
HIS WIFE GIVES HIM AWAY.
He Is Alleged to Have Killed Seven
Persons In Twenty-four
Years.
HIS WIFE GIVES HIM AWAY.

DOWAGlAC, Mich, May 22-Ac-
cused of seven murders in "a years.
James Brimingstall, 40 years old. is
under arrest here. His arrest followed
disclosures made to Prosecutor Bres-
nahan by BiImingstalls wife, who
feared she might become another of
his victims The police say the pris-
oner has confessed to two of the
crimes. AS to the others he is silent
or denies them.
His alleged victims and the date OF
the murders are:
Smith Hartium, killed in Oowagiac
in February, 1903.
David Huff, killed in Dowagiac, June
Z, 1903.
Two men in Missouri in 1900.
Railroadman in Missouri in 1899.
Man in Kansas in 1884
Cherokee Indian woman, date not
certain.
FIRST KILLS NEIGHBOR.
To the police the prisoner is said to
have admitted that when ne was in
Kansas at the age of 16 years he shot
a neighbor against whom he had a
grudge. This was his first crime. He
was sentenced to 10 years imprison-
ment. On finishing his sentence he
went to Missouri, where in a quarrel
with a railroadman he killed him with
coupling pin. His plea of self-de-
fense in this case gained the short SEN
fence of three years.
These admissions the man Is said to
have made to the police with uncon-
cern, though the further accusations
he either denied or evaded.
WIFE FEARS MURDERER.
Mrs. Brimingstall, apparently dis
tracted, appealed to the prosecuting
attorney for protection. She said that
Jim was going to kill her; she could
not go to sleep for fear he would break
into the house and murder her. She
gave hints that led to the discovery
that her husband had criminal record
David HUFF, ttu aged citizen of Dowa-
giac, went to the Brimingstall home to
live year and a half ago. He decided
them his property on their proposition
to support him for the remainder OF
his life. One night last June a scuffle
was heard in an upper room of the
house. Huff was found dead in bed
with the bed clothing very much dis
turbed. Brimingstall said that Huff
had some sort of violent illness ana
accidentally checked himself to death
with the bed clothing. The body of
Huff was buried next day and the ap-
parent haste occasioned comment.
In February of this year Smith Hor-
tium disappeared. There are several
circumstances tending to connect
Brimingstall with the disappearance Of
Hortium. Hortium's body was found
frozen in The ice of a nearby stream
His money had disappeared.
