What Becomes of the Coke 2

A teacher was explaining to her
class the various ways in which gas
is obtained.
Much of the gas we use is ex-
tracted from COAL" she said, "and
after the gas has been taken out, the
coal becomes coke. In some parts of
this country gas is obtained by
boring deep holes in the ground and
such gas is called natural gas"
Does the natural gas come from
the fires down in the bad placer in

what does Satan do with all the coke
he has left?"

PENSION
TEACHERS
SUPERINTENDENT BABBITT Will
URGE THE LEGISLATURE TO
PROVIDE FOR THEM.

Among the matters on which Super
intendent Babbitt, of the Department OF
Public instruction is busy, and on
which he has asked the aid of the At
torney-General's department, is the
drawing up of teachers pension act
which will be along the general lines
of that which was presented to the Lee
gislature of 1907 but which was not
passed. There will be numerous
changes made in the new act, how
ever, the suggestions offered during
the debate on the bill two years ago,
being followed out by Mr.. Babbitt, in
order that there may be as little oppo-
sition as possible.
The bill which was submitted to the
Legislature two years ago, provided
that teachers who had been in the SER
vice of the public schools of the Ter
ritory for thirty years might resign
and become pensioners under the act,
or that the Board of Public Instruc-
ton might in cases where it saw fit
retire teachers after they had served
twenty-five years, when they would
be eligible for pension.
1t was also provided that no pension
should exceed $500 per year or more
than fifty per cent of the annual salary
last received in the work as teacher.
Babbitt is strong in his support of this
measure as he believes that the teach
ers who have grown in the service of
the Territory, and have become inca
pacitated for work should have some
thing on which to rely in their old
age

-. Finn HUT for second time ~
twelve DAYS was yesterday nominal
ed for alderman from the Second
ward over the present incumbent,
T. Harvie Hudson. He carried the
First, Third and Fourth wards, los
fng the Second ward by only "A
votes.> It was the only contest OF
the day, Especial election being
held to decide the winner in the
hotly contested race. MT. Hutt's
majority is Jas votes. In the race
between the same two candidates
on February /, when the city pri-
maries were held, Mr.. Hutt's major
ity was SO votes but charges of
fraud in the First ward, made by
Hudson, which was followed by
challenge to run the race over,
brought about the special election.
The aldermanic race yesterday
was an exciting one from the open
ing OF the polls to their close at
shutdown. Friends of the two candi-
dates worked like beavers all day,
there being more private vehicles
out for the respective candidates
than has ever been known before
in this city in an election where an
aldermanic position was sought.
The total vote yesterday fell short
IS compared with that cast at the
primaries twelve days ago, notwith-
standing the efforts of the friends
Of the two candidates to bring out
a big vote for their respective ia
vorites.
Mr.. Hutt's majority in the First
ward, where the charges of fraud
were registered by Mr.. Hudson in
the first election, was 2 votes less
yesterday than was given him there
in his first race. He, received So
majority on February 1. The total
v-te cast in the First ward on
Thursday was IS less than were
polled there on the former occa-
sion.
The Second ward, at present rep
resented in the Council by Mr.. Hud-
son, gave him a majority over Mr..
HUT Of "A votes. The HUT major
ity in the First ward alone would
have overcome this lead. Mr.. Hutt's
majority in the Third almost equal
led the total number received by
his opponent in that precinct. The
Fourth ward also gave HUT a fiat
tering vote.
Hudson's defeat yesterday was
brought about by the aiquor dealers
OF the city, who declared that his
attitude in the city's legislative
body in the past has been antago-
nistic to their interests. The voters
of the First ward openly declared
that they would resent Alderman
Hudson's charge of fraud there and
judging from the big majority given
his opponent Thursday, they made
good their word. The young DEM

Little Rock. Ark. Feb. l3.-lSpe-
cial. AFTER consulting every law
book which would give any light On
the question involved, and weighing
every point for a sufficient length of
time to satisfy himself as to the right
of the contention, Judge +, w. Win
field, of the Second Division of the
Circuit Court today at noon delivered
an opinion in the custer suit brought
by Wallace Bruce ct al, VS.. r l..
Matlock, ct al, to secure the seats Of
four members of the State Board of
Charitable Institutions, deciding in IA
vor OF the, board retaining it's sea-.
Only one of the interested parties
was present in the courtroom when
the decision was made, James Steven
son, attorney for the claimants. The
decision was very brief, Judge Win
field simply informing Attorney Ste
venson that he had decided against
him.
An appeal was prayed by Attorney
Stevenson, to the Supreme Court,
which was granted by Judge Winfield
and 80 days were given in which the
transcript may be filed.
Thus ends another chapter in the
fight over the superintendency of the
State School for the Blind, and again
those favoring Superintendent S. L.
Lucas, who is now in charge of the
institution, have won.
Why Suit Was Brought.
The custer suit was brought after
Acting Governor Pindall had appointed
Wallace Bruce, Aylmer Flenniken. A.
l.. Hayes and e. C. Parsons as mem
bers of the State Board Of Charities to
succeed E. G. Matlock, c. E. Bruce,
Joe L. Davis and T. J. Williamson,
who had supported Professor Lucas
in his contentious for the superinten-
dency Of the school. The members Of
the old board refused to vacate, claim
ing they hold the Office for two years
and it was not within the power Of
the governor to remove them. Both
sides then secured attorneys and the
suit was filed in the Circuit Court.
Charles Jacobson represented the sue
cessful contestants in the arguments
which took place before Judges Win
field, Lea and Martineau, several
weeks ago.
In delivering his opinion Judge
Winfield gave as his reason for sus-
tanning the contentious Of the defend
ants, that it was the evident intention
Of the acts of the legislature, which
created the Board of Charities, that
the board serve for the term for which
it was appointed, two years.
Judge Winfield acknowledged there
were technicalities which favored the
contentious OF the plaintiff, but he
had gone into the history Of the act
and found facts sufficient to warrant
his decision. He said the board was
created to care for the wards of the
State, which was most commendable
action, and gave the governor the
power to appoint the board, but no
other superintendency in him being
mentioned, Judge Winfield thought his
power ended with the appointment.
Others contend" said Judge Win
field, after he had delivered his opin-
ion, chat the appointment of the
board members to serve two years, as
