President Roosevelt on Schools.

Addressing the National Congress of
Mothers in the White House yesterday,
President Roosevelt said on the question of
public schools
As regards our public schools, especially,
want TO put in special word in behalf of
the right kind of Fairgrounds. No school
is good school il it has NOS q good play
ground. Help the children TO play, and
remember that you can often help them
most by leaving them entirely alone. I
misread them il they themselves do not
often know better how 80 play better than
we old folks can teach them. Is is the
gravest kind Of wrong, not only to the
but so the whole community so
turn out the boys and girls, especially in
the congested part OF she CITY, with no
place TO play 10 but the streets There can
he no more important form than TO provide
adequate Fairgrounds: and beginning
should be made here in the District of Col
umbia.'
The good people here who have been
instrumental in foisting neat little lot
on the Board Of Education, on which TO
build big school house, ought TO learn one
lesson on schools from their Presidents if
they refuse TO learn il from the Editor of a
local paper, and member Of tbe Board Of
Education.

one Of the most brilliant. honorable
and upright men In the Democratic
party In California. In detailing the
anti-convention maneayering Mr.. Ben
declared that he was for Senator San
ford and that Mayor Harper had been
imposed on. The secret intrigues or
the Craftsmanship fight led him to
plead to play politics in the OPEN.
I'VE read r. f. Goings out or the
party in that convention because ne
ought to have been read out, but /
want to assert that there was no other
name coupled with his''---
There ought to have been,' said
some one.
There was," shouted another. This
was repeated by many, and Mr.. Bell
was embarrassed by the distraction.
Proceeding, he declared that Chair
man Sanford had "ruled out" the pre-
amhle to the resolution and that the
other name Chat of Eddie Morris,
though Mr.. Bell did not name him)
had been ruled out, too. because ne was
not q member of the convention,
Mayor Harper. he said, could not
have been elected because the cards
were not in his favor.
In concluding he declared the con-
science of California is aroused and
the Democrats have only to extend the
right hand of fellowship, settle their
own differences and no power can pre-
vent victory.

BROOKLYN WOMEN PROTEST
AGAINST PRICE OF MEATS

NEW YORK, June 23.-Six hundred
women held a mass meeting last night
in Brownville, Brooklyn, and declared
their intention to fight against the IN
creased prices of meat and fowls. They
also paraded and several meat stores
were stoned. Yesterday about LOO
women marched through the streets,
stopping at butcher shops, calling the
proprietors to the doors and telling
them they must lower the prices at
once. The retail dealers protested that
thew were not responsible; that 1T was
the wholesalers who had forced the
price of meats up.
The dealers were told by the women
that the condition of affairs brought
about by the avariee of the big meat
men would not longer be countenanced
and If the dealers wished to act with
the people they would close up their
shops at once and refuse to buy meats
at the exorbitant prices they were
made to pay. Thus, 1t was argued,
the packers would be brought to sub
lection.

Tabriz, Persia, to Urumiah, through q
country sWarming with pillasins
Kurds
He declares that Urumiah is now
completely surrounded by Kurds, who
are ravaging the villages on all sides
up to the gates of the town. The sound
of firing is constantly heard. The mis-
sionaries at Urumiah have held meet
ing and sent out to their respective
countries a statement of the critical
position in which they find themselves.
Turkish regular troops are close be-
hind the raiding Kurds. Two bat
talions of infantry, two squadrons OF
cavalry and a battery of artillery have
occupied villages three miles from
Urumiah and six days ago one bat
talon of infantry and five batteries of
the sixth division of cavalry went into
camp in the region around Sujubulant
to settle the dispute between Turkey
and Persia.
1t is declared at the foreign office
here that Russia has made continual
representations to the porte about the
situation but without result up to the
present time. Russia has not yet de-
cided upon more aggressive steps.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-William F.
Doty, American consul at Tabriz, has
telegraphed the state department that
the missionaries at Ufumiah are anxi-

aries there will be no objection to his
going.
There has been repeated assurance
to the American government of its in
tention to protect our missionaries SO
far as lies in it's power. The Kurds,
nomads as they are. have long been
serious proposition for the Turkish
government to deal with, and their
pillaging on frequent occasions has
threatened TO lead to serious interna-
tional troubles.

Brentwood. cousin of the groom.
The brides dress was OF soft white

and was held by a wreath or orange
blossoms. The bride wore but three
pieces of jewelry. and these were all

ding presents of King Edward, Queen
Alexandra and Mr.. Ward, and looked
charmingly beautiful as she walked up
the aisle of the historical old chapel
on the arm of her father.
Miss Jennie Croker Of San Francisco
attended her cousin, and on account OF
the smallness of the chapel, which even
with all tho precautions taken. was
rather overcrowded, was the only
bridesmaid.
She wore a dainty costume of white
embroidered muslin with blue sash ana
a large picture hat trimmed with
flowers. There were also in attendance
five little children, two boys and three
girls. all in quaint costumes of blue
and white, taken from one OF Reynolds
famous child pictures.

ELEVEN DEATHS CAUSED
BY HEAT IN CHICAGO
Thermometer Climbs Above 80, but
Late in the Day Shift In Wind
Brings Some Relief to
Sufferers

CHICAGO, June 23.-Eleven deaths,
due to heat prostration or allied causes,
were recorded in Chicago today
The thermometer again climbed to
above 80, but late this afternoon shift
in the wind brought relief, and 1t Is be-
lieved the torrid wave has broken in
this section.
when thousands of persons were swell
tering under the burning rays of the
sun and the suffocating atmosphere In
the canyon-like streets of towering
skyscrapers, not a public drinking foun-
tain was to be found in operation in the
heart of Chicago yesterday.
Men, women and children painted
through the scorching thoroughfares.
There were cool, inviting saloons; there
were cafes where fountains splashed
gratefully, but in no place was water
to be had free except In the big de-
partment stores.
There the women and children were
crowded in rows seven and eight deep
waiting their turn at the cups.
The Drake fountain at the city hall
was as dry as a bone. The bronze
statue of Christopher Columbus glared
in the burning heat. The four drinking
basins were covered with the boards
that had protected them all through the
winter before.
At the Waman's temple the bronze
figure of a child held out cup invit-
ingly, but no water flowed.
This is the fountain that in 1902 was
given by the 100000 children of the
United States, each contributing 10
cents that the little children of Chicago
might never go thirsty on a hot day. 1t
was made by George Wade, famous
London sculptor.
Another fountain is just inside the
north entrance of the temple. The
basin is surmounted by little bronze
boy holding a trident, but the figure
guarded no precious water,
The only explanation obtainable for
the lack of water at the fountains was
that the pipes had been neglected.

DE sAGAN AND NINE. GOULD
MUST COMPLY WITH LAW

LONDON, June 23.-Prince Helie de
Sagan spent this morning in making a
tour of the registry offices In an en-
deavor to discover means by which his
marriage with Mime. Anna Gould could
be carried out without the delay which
under the law of England usually ac-
companies such ceremonies. At all the
registry offices he got the same re-
spouse. namely, that the only means
recognized by the law to avoid fort
nights residence here before marriage
Is the special license that can be issued
only by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
AS Nine. Gould is divorced 1t is not be-
lieved that this license can be obtained.
The couple were hopeful that the
wedding could take place at the end of
this week. but the authorities declare
that this is impossible without a spe--
cial license. Prince HeIie is reported
to have renowned Catholicism in order
to marry Mime. Gould. 1t is declared
that after the wedding the couple will
retire to the German estates of the
prince.

NEXT NAVAL WAR WILL BE
FOUGHT ON PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-Str
James Elphinstone Erskine, senior of
the six admirals of the British fleet,
arrived in this city yesterday on his
waysaround the world, accompanied by
his wife and family In an interview
he is quoted as expressing the opinion
that the Pacific will be the scene of the
next great ocean warfare-though he
would not say between what powers.
He also expressed the conviction that
still greater battleships than ever yet
have been planned would be laid down
in future naval programs--that the
vessels of the Dreadnaught type had
not yet reached their fullest develop
ment.
The tendency, he said, was to put as
many guns as could be on a. single
base.
