WAGE WAR ON
CHICAGO FHATS
Women Not Connected in Any Way
With Schools Found in Frater-
mites Being Denounced.

Chicago, March THE gravest
indictment which has yet been drawn
against the secret societies in the
Chicago high schools is in the hands
of President Schneider Of the board
of education.
It is contained in a report of an
investigation made at President
Schneider's request, by the detectives
of the city police department.
In substance the police report
charges that gross immortality is
practiced at several of the frater-
nifty houses. Six specific instances,
are cited in which women (not con-
nected in any way with the schools)
have been found harbored in the
house, the boys in each case being
members OF the fraternity which
maintains the building
President Schneider has had the
report for several days, but has de-
c.ined to make II public.
At its meeting yesterday the
school management committee 20
which the "anti-frat resolution had
been turned by the board at its last
meeting passed the measure again
by vote OF I 10 2, thus making it
extremely possible that it will be
passed finally at the next meeting
Of the board

Receiver Appointed.

E. r. Tyler, receiver of the Citi-
zens State Bank of Brewster, accom-
panied by Frank Foster, his attor-
ney, came up from Brewster Tues
day, to interview the debtors and
creditors of the institution in this
valley. There is little to give other
than that t hey are proceeding with
the winding up of the banks affairs
as fast as possible. The fixtures of
the Twisp branch Of the defunct bank
were sold by the receiver at $3.50,
considered a very good sale for the
creditors of the bank. Mr.. Tyler
states the proposition of reorganizing
the bank is by no means dead, and
that it stands a good show yet OF
taking place. They visited Winthrop
yesterday and returned home today.

CROSS INSULT
OFFERED FLAG
Yakima "Reds" Attack Roosevelt, In-

Eggs.

North Yakima, March Com
pairing the Stars and Stripe with the
red flag of anarchism, D. Burgess, a
socialist street speaker, tonight asked
if Old Glory was respectable flag.
"No. no." shouted some of his lis
teners. The police were at the meet
ing, but no action was taken until
some other act was committed. Bur-
CESS has been speaking on the streets
for several days, and has caused un-
rest. A few nights ago red flag was
waved at street meeting besides the
Stars and Stripes. So much protest.
was entered that the speaker has not
dared to have the performance re-
peated. A dozen men attended the
meeting tonight to make a raid if the
red flag was shown. The speaker
charged the president with not re-
specting the flag and with violating
his oath OF Office.
Roosevelt trampled the flag under
foot himself" shouted one man, re-
ferring to the labor troubles in Colo

The police had to clear the streets
once today, and are watching the So
cialists closely to prevent trouble.
The meeting was broken up tonight
by a shower OF rotten eggs.

The contest grew rather fierce on
Saturday morning. 1t had been eX-

other, since practically united ele-

But TOR some reason they did not

Despite the counsel OF wiser heads

The cutting up and profuse settle
ment of this immense tract of valu-
able land so close to the city is of
immeasurable importance to Wenat-
chez; it means that one lone man

place to host of newcomers. who

Replying to this declaration, Mrs. John
S. Crosby, president of the Wonen's Dem
ocratic Club of New York, points out that
there is little in the training OF children
that the man, as well as the woman, ought
not to learn, and that if womankind were
restricted to the rearing and teaching Of
children she would be deprived Of many of
the best opportunities for learning how to
do that very work.
President Wilson of Princeton, in a
bold address before the convention of the
Association Of Colleges and Preparatory
Schools at New York, got after the pre-
vailing school and college methods with
sharp stick. He declared that educators
had missed the true inner meaning OF e9-
ucation, that we have forgotten to assem-
bic its elements, and that we have forgot
ten to simplify our methods" Education,
as distinguished from technical training,
should be based on three principles: En-
lightenment, orientation and discipline"
BY orientation he meant the power to or
ganize ones knowledge and see things
with perspective. What our age needed
MIST was the dreamers and creators. Mere
Information did not educate, and it might
iml ede the mind.

Expert Declares the Boosted Fight

Traps.
ARMoR BELT IS TOO Low.
Defects in Construction Pointed
Out and Promotion System

Henry Reuterdahl, associate of the
United States Naval Institute and
American editor of Fighting Ships"
is the author of q startling article ON
The Needs of Our Navy" in the Jan
nary McClure's Mr.. Reuterdahl's eX-
pertness on naval matters is not dis
puted and neither is his patriotism.
He agrees with President Roosevelt
that a navy must be built land all its
training given in time of peace" and
with this in view he exposes defects
In our tirst-class battle ships and ar
mored cruisers which all but make
them useless as a efficient units in a
fleet on heavy sea and in real action.
Mr.. Reuterdahls criticisms appear
to be the more amazing on account of
the contention that most, if not all of
the weak points he emphasizes, viii be
acknowledged by sea-going officers, "or,
If the reader is sufficiently interested,
by the testimony of his own eyes"
His principal points are the follow
ing:
That the shell-proof armor of the
American battle ships is virtually be-
low the water line where it will do no
good. leaving the broad side of the YES
sci exposed to the shells of the enemy
That this defect has been pointed
out time and again; that other nations
years ago recognized it as fatal and
now have armor wrapped around the
sides of their war vessels from five to
seven feet above the water line

In 1898 Davis was Attorney General

board our ships, the Navy Department
year after year has approved of plans
by which the greatest guns on the
ships are directly above an open shaft
leading to the powder magazine.
That other nations long since recog-
nized the criminal stupidity of thus en-
dangering the lives of officers and men
and have remedied the defect by use
Of common sense and ordinary precau-
tionary measures.
That, without regard to the protests

that American genius is stifie6 because

foregoing are by far the most impor-
tant. An afternoons fight on water

the same may well be true of the next
war into which this nation is plunged.
The issue is 80 important and the stake
