his Parker tract with a rifle in one

of the Parker country. Both men
say the berries are doing splendidly
and they look for an exceptionally ex-
cellent crop.

blossoms on the strawberry plants

BRICK VS.. BRAIN THEORY
Teachers Paid Less Than the JanitOrs
i'm Public School Service Not
Conducive to Best Results.

SPOKANE, WASH, May S.-Karl
Reidelsberger, prominent local mu-
sician, raised what threatens to as
sumo proportions of storm when he
declared in a signed statement to a
Spokane newspaper that he considers
the public school system of the United
States is one of the most inefficient
in the world, adding that by paying
the teachers less than the janitor and
putting the most money into build
ings instead of talent lit has been a
brick versus brain theory" He sug-
gests that teachers be taken out of
politics, making them government
officials with positions for life; giving
theree times their present salary, also
unlimited authority over the students
and responsible to his profession only.
"And," he adds, keep the teacher as
long as you can and then pension
him. Then you may be able to right
a lot of evils. Business is not always
unselfish; science always is"

SEWER EXCAVATION PROVED
DEATH TRAP

Sewer-Accidcnt Unavoidable
Peculiar Causes.

David Ryan, a laborer employed by

ton of a sub sewer in an alley between

Thursday afternoon about o'clock
Ryan's BODY was pinioned beneath
tow of earth and timbers, the limp
iifeless form was eXtricated two
S after the accident. The remains
e removed to the Flint-Shaw I'm
dertaking parlors. Coroner Rosser
will hold an inquest today.

Ryan failed to heed the warning is
sued by the city inspector. Just before
the cave-in. F. G. Aker the pipe lay

gagged in laying the pipe at the bottom
of the excavation. Both were ordered
out both started together but Ryan,
for some unaccountable reason, turned
back and while astride girder which

fellow workmen to rescue Ryan When
they reached him. his blackened face
told of his horrible end. Besides be-
ing buried beneath tons of loose earth.
Ryans legs end shoulders were held
beneath the cribbing.
Causes of Accident.
1t is the contention of Contractor
Pettijohn and the acting city inspect
or that the cave-in was caused by a
telephone pole, swung by high wind,
loosening the earth near the scene Of
the accident. On one side of the eX-
cavation where Ryan met his death
is gas main, and on the other a
trunk sewer The earth in which
Ryan was working was loose and
reacherous. having been removed
once before. The vibrations of the
telephone pole, loosened the earth,
which swept down upon the unfortun-
ate man, and crushed out his life. At
the time of the cave-in preparations
were under way for the strengthening
of the cribbing, and the men had been
warned of the danger.
Relatives in California.
David Ryan. the dead man, was be-
tween "a and 25 years Of age, and
had been resident of this city off and

of the past winter he had been en-
ployed in Ellensburg. He resided at

Heaven ranchers are feeling good"
From all sections of the hills come
glowing reports of the excellent con-
ditions of the crops. The recent
rains were worth many dollars to this
section and everybody was rejoiced to
see them. With the wheat crop prac-
tically failure last year a bounteous
harvest this season with prevailing
high prices will be doubly appreciated
and will give the ranchers a chance
to pull OUT of the hole they were
put into when old "Jupe" Pluvius

and adjutant general as a military
board is to act in concert both in or
dering and auditing this fund, but
Hamilton had inspired such con-
fidence and held the good will of his
associates to such an extent that soon
after his appointment in 1906 he was
given full powers.
Hamilton is So years old, the son
of a wealthy farmer of Whitman
county, and was educated at a mill
tary academy at Portland. He was
married in 1907 to Miss Mary Savage,
the daughter of rich Whitman coun-
ty farmer.
The legislature last winter made an
appropriation of $4,000 to cover a de-
ficiency in the military fund, Hamil-
ton having overdrawn his account to
that extent. Hamilton made a state
ment to the joint appropriations COM
mittee that was so satisfactory that
the overdraft was speedily covered.
Mead's Version.
BELLINGHAM, May ST am in
the position of banker who has ac-
cepted a bad check, if the charges
against former General Hamilton are
true" said Ex-Governor Mead this af-
ternoon, las either l or my secretary
for me, signed the forged vouchers
and approved them and thus l am di-
rectly or indirectly connected with the
matter"
Mead said he was surprised when
the charges were first made, but re-
called later that during the closing
days of his administration Hamilton
social life was somewhat irregular,
though the matter was of such a nat
ure that he could not take official
cogniZance of it. Now that the forg-
cries have been unearthed, Mead said
he hoped the matter would be probed
to the bottom.
Mead has been considered by Gov
ernor Hay to succeed Secretary of
State Nichols, but Mead said today
that under the circumstances he could
not accept the position.
