EDUCATORS MEET
 IN MONTGOMERY
Association of Agricultural Schools Discusses Methods
COL. BULLARD APPOINTED
Alabama Man Is Supervisor of Depart ment of Public Instruction at Hs- vana-Good Work In First Dis
 trict Agricultural School.

Montgomery, August S.-(special)-T The extent to which the district agricultural schools should do scientific and experi- mental work and the adoption of a course or study for the school work proper were live wires In the meeting of the Associa- tion of Agricultural Schools in session at the capitol since Friday morning. A lively run of talk was let out on both subjects, the belief by many being that the life of the schools depend on further i development of the scientific and experi- mental work
 The course of study problem was rather one-sided, fighting on the one side being by J. J. Doster, professor of secondary education at the university, a speaker by courtesy, and heads of the schools. The plan of MT. Doster, adopted for the high schools contemplates a five-year course. The agricultural schools would of the studies are higher than that pro- posed by MT. Doster. However, many : of the teachers hope to get all the schools of high school class together.
 Many reports were made on experiments made. Soils had been Investigated and much breeding of plants done in every section It was found that a great deal had been accomplished in all lines of experiments and that the schools have had effect for better work by the farm CTS In their territories. In this Commits sioner Wilkinson sees great hope as 1t i is desired through the schools to enthuse all the people to a better and more im- proved manner of tiling the soils. The officers of the association are: President, J. A. Wilkinson, commissioner of agriculture; vice president, J. B. Hob- dy, Albertville secretary, W. F. Monk, Jackson. The following were present, the first being the president and the sec- ond the agriculturist of the school To- cated at the place named: w. F. Monk and w. F. Nichols, Jackson; H. T. Lille ,, and A.

vt was nearly noon of the next day
when Helen awoke to find that
Mcnamara had ridden In from the
i creek and stopped for breakfast
with the Judge He had asked for her,
but on hearing the tale of the nights
adventure would not allow her to be
disturbed. Later he and the judge
had gone away together
Although her judgment approved the
step she had contemplated the night
before, still the girl now felt strange
reluctance to meet Mcnamara. IL IS
true that she knew no Ill of him except
that implied in the accusations OF GER
tain embittered men. and she was
aware that every strong and aggressive
character makes enemies In direct pro-
norton to the qualities which lend
| him greatness. Nevertheless she was
aware of an inner conflict that she had
| not foreseen. This man who so con-
fidently believed that she would marry
| him did not dominate her conscious
ness.

her early rambles she had looked TIM
idly askance at the rough men she met
till she discovered their genuine re-
spect and courtesy. The most un-
kempt among them were often college
bred. although for that matter the
toughest of the miners showed album
dant consideration for woman. SO
she was glad to allow the men to talk
to her with the fine freedom inspired
by the new country and Its wide
| SPACES. The wilderness breeds chiv-
airy all its own.
Thus there seemed to be no danger
abroad, though they had told the girl
Of mad dogs which roamed the city,
explaining that the hot weather affects
powerfully the thick coated, shaggy
''malamoots." This is the land of the
dog. and. whereas in winter his lot Is
to labor and shiver and starve, In sum

runs mad with the heat.
Helen walked far and. returning,
chose an unfamiliar course through
the outskirts of the town to avoid
meeting any Of the women she knew
because Of that vivid memory or the
night before. AS she walked swiftly
along she thought that she heard faint
cries far behind her. Looking up, she

MANTELL In TWO
ROLES AT THE NEWARK.
An Excellent Macbeth and an In
teresting, Though Unin-
Spired. Hamlet.

An admirable performance of Mac
beth" and a creditable performance 81
Hamlet" constituted the days work
for Robert Mantell at the Newark
Theatre yesterday. Macbeth" was
given at the matinee.
In his tragedy that drips gore and
that relates of witches and ghosts and
murder, there is much to revolt the
spectator. in spite of its greatness and
universal significance. Yet, by acting
it in the right poetic spirit, Mr.. ManteH
relieves it Of much that might be re-
pugnant. He even gains for Macbeth
a certain meassre of sympathy, con-
veying the impression that, carried
away by the ambitions and infamed by
the haunting of his wife, he may have
thought himself justified in his cow
ardly role of the murderer of Duncan.
Mr.. Mantell did not spare the sanguin-
airy details of the murder scene, but his
fine reading of his lines robbed the
realism of a great deal of it's
unpleasantness. There were moments,
especially in the long soliloquies, when
interest Jagged, but they were not
many. In the tempestuous denouement
of the tragedy, Mr.. Mantell reached the
heights of his performance, and held his
audience as in a wise.

Brooding over the sudden death of
his best friend and closest business
associate, Alexander B. Morrison, a
wealthy realty operator and clubman,

Each was more than sixty years old,
and had been cronies for forty years.
When Mr.. Brewster died his friend was
present at his bedside. When Mr.. Nor
rison left the Brewster home he re-
marked to several persons:

Morrison had been a sufferer from
acute gastritis for years. His ailment
appeared to become worse yesterday.
In conversation with the Rev. James M.
Ludlow. associate pastor of the Mum
Avenue Presbyterian Church, he be-
moaned his sufferings and spoke in a
Respondent VEIN.
He retired to his rooms early last
night and asked not to be disturbed.
Shortly before s o'clock today. two shots
rang out IN his home. A maid going to
the door of his bedroom was Mortified to
find Mr.. Morrison lying dead upon the
floor. A bullet wound through the
heart told the story. The revolver, a
new .32-calibre double action weapon,
still remained clenched in his right
hand.
Eighteen months ago, the wife of the
suicide died. and he grieved deeply.
One daughter survives. He was a men,

Little Falls Property-0wners
Bring Injunction Suit in
Newark Court.
WANT CITY TO PAY FOR
HEAVY DAMAGE BY LEAK
IComplainants Say That Constant
Floods Have Made 2 Houses
Unfit for Occupation.

Alleged neglect in the construction OF
the Cedar Grove reservoir Is made the
basis of a suit brought by William
Small and other property owners of
Little Falls, which came. up for hearing
today before Vice-Chancellor Stevens.
The compliments allege that forty
three acres of their land have been
and ask hat the city be made to pay
for the damage done, and be restrained
by injunction from a continuance of
the evil.
Two houses on the property have been
made unfit for use, according to the bill,
to a barren waste. The flooding of the
land has beer going on, the complain
ants say. since before the completion Of
the reservoir, dating back to 1904. when
the water was first impounded. Nego-
tiations were opened with the city in
1905, and an offer for the purchase of
the property was made by the Common
Council in 1906.
The offer was not accepted within
the time designated. A month after
wards it was. but the City Counsel ad-
vised the property owners that the offer
had been withdrawn. An attempt to
have it extended was unsuccessful and
resulted in the bringing of the pres
ent suit.
Since the suit was begun, n of the
compliments, Mrs. Phebe Van Ripper,
of Orange. has died. Assistant City
Counsel Francis Child, jr. is defending
the suit for tho city; the compliments
are represented by John W. Harding, of
Paterson.

Assemblylnan Smith blocked a last

ment had been prepared to permit
dentists and veterinarians to prescribe
