unknown here, but one which promises
to become a general favorite. Bakers
White Wyandottes are the Graves and

Graves is president OF the White Wyan-

The Beaumont White Rocks also are

RAILROADS BUY TIES
FROM HAWAII AND JAPAN
oHlA WOOD PROVES SUBSTITUTE
FOR OAK
Scarcity of Timber in the United
States Prompts Companies to
Send Agents to Old
World

A striking instance of the scarcity OF
timber suitable for railroad ties in the
United States is seen in the recent pur-
chase by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railay company of 2,SOo,0Oo ties of
ohia wood from lumber company operat-
ing in the Hawaiian islands.
It has been difficult for some time for
the railroads of this country to obtain
wooden ties satisfactory both in quantity
and quality, and many of them have
been looking about for an opportunity TO
purchase tie timber in other countries.
During a recent trip by representative
of the Atchison, topeka & Santa te Rail-
way company arrangements were made
for the purchase of ties not only in the
Hawaiian Islands, but also in Japan. 1t
is said ties from Japan will be made from
a certain species of oak which compares
in lasting q Titles very favorably with
the white oak of this country, considered
the most satisfactory wood for tie pur-
poses
About year ago, before the representa-
tive of the railroad had started on his
trip, the United States forest service
made a few tests on the ohia wood The
results indicate that In point OF strength
ohia wood will rank with the oaks. 1t
was thought from these tests the wood
was worthy of further investigation, and
the large order placed by the railroad in
dicates their agent is confident that Ha-
walian wood will prove to be satisfac-
tory material for railroad ties under the
conditions existing In this country.

CHICAGO TO
BAR FRA S'
FROMSCHOOLS
PRESIDENT OF BOARD HAS
DRASTIC PLAN
HGreek Letter Societies Have De-
moraIlzing Effect on Students"
lie Belief of Public
Educators

~ Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. A-Otto c. Schneider
president of the board Of education, it Is
announced today, will introduce a reso-
luton at the next meeting of the board
prohibiting the further existence of fra
ternities and societies In the city high
schools, and making membership in them
a ground for expulsion Of pupils from the
schools.
Professor E. G. Cooley, superintendent
of the Chicago schools, Is strongly In
favor OF the proposed action. He said:
1.-THE testimony of teachers seems to
indicate that the general moral tone OF
members is lowered by their experience in
this association; that idleness expense
trivial conversation, love of display and
the spread of gossip all go with the fra
ternity, and that, in the case of some
special boys organizations, we may add
to these the keeping of late hours, ribald
language, obscene songs, smoking, drunk
enness, gambling and social vice."
Since the enactment of the present
school board rule prohibiting members OF
fraternities from participating in school
activities and the recent unfolding OF
this rule by the appellate court, the or
ganizations have felt their fight to be O
losing one, but such drastic action as now
contemplated by the school authorities
surprises them.
What President Schneider proposes
however, is claimed to be in direct line
with a score of state decisions and state
enactments made within the last three
years. Minnesota, Indiana and Kansas
have prohibited fraternities in the public
schools, and in several other states Local
rules like the one proposed have been up
held by court decisions.

one of the important industries of the
town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker are well known
among poultry fanciers in Massachusetts
and Connecticut, having captured many
of the first and second prizes in the big
shows of those states. When they came
to California a few weeks ago they
brought with them several coops of their
choicest birds. From 800 prize fowls they
selected 70 of the choicest, which already
are at Beaumont and some of which will
be seen In poultry exhibits in Southern
California this winter. These birds have
won more than fifty first and second
prizes in competition with the best birds
of the east, and local exhibitors will
have to look closely to their laurels.

AS a sort of preliminary meeting to that
which is to be held by the national board
of engineers for rivers ana harbors Janu-
airy IA, members of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce and citizens of
Long Beach, San Pedro and Wilmington
met at the latter place yesterday to in

mington the party went to San Pedro,
where the members were taken to Point
Fermin in carriages.
General Chaffee said last night that no
decision as to what work should be done
was reached, but that personally he be-
lieved the situation a fine one for devel-
opment of a harbor. He declared that
such technical points as the amount of
dredging required and so forth must be
handed by naval experts, and he did not
feel qualified to pass upon such matters.
The most important meeting in connec-
ton with the improvement work Will be
held by a committee of the members of
the national board of engineers for rivers
and harbors January IA, at the San Pedro
city hall.
Discuss Important Subjects
The two things to be considered at that
time will be:
Wilmington harbor, with view to OBJ
tanning an increased depth.
San Pedro breakwaters, with view to
determining whether the same should be
extendeu to the shore.
This includes the entire inner harbor at
wilmington, as well as the lagoon, east
and west OF the railroad tracks. 1t is de-
sired that written statements especially

Mrs. Rustin and Hannah Dineen. a
servant in the Rustin home, were the
principal witnesses in, the trial today
of Charles z. Davis, charged with the
murder of DR.. Frederick Rustfn. Mrs.
Rustin had little difficulty in parrying
the severe cross questions of Attorney

which were incontestable in the event
of the person insured committing sui

Miss Dineen, however. lost the com
posure which characterized her testi-
mony at the coroner's inquest and pre-

during the direct examination by
States Attorney English and the ses-
sion of court was suspended 10 minutes
until she recovered.
