BAR FRATS
FROM THE
SCHOOLS
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. S.-Under the
new school code which is under
consideration by the joint senate
and house committee on educa-
tion, the fraternity in the grammar
school or high school will be a
thing Of the past. The code au-
thorizes school boards to see to it
that no fraternities are allowed
to exist in schools which receive
state aid. 1t is made the duty OF
the principal of all schools to dis
organize any frats that may now
be in existence and to prevent the
of others. Any stu
dent who insists in belonging to
a fraternity forfeits his right to
attend public school and 1t is
the duty of the principal to see
that he remains away.
Exception is made of the state
university, where frats are allow
ed to exist as heretofore.
There is little doubt but what
this section will remain in the
school code, no matter what
changes may befall other por-
|tions. The self-made legislator
has healthy horror of everything
that savors of aristocracy, and
the mere mention of Delta Theta
Phi, with all its Greek mysteries,
it's exclusiveness, the rumors of
branding irons, tortures, etc.,
make his democrats American
blood boil and he's ready to abol-
ish the frat at once.
The school principals are very
anxious to have this law go into
effect, as they say 1t will make
the discipline of the schools much
easier and bring about a better
and more wholesome intercom-
munication among the pupils from
all walks of life who meet in the
common ground of the public
school.

MOVE
IN KLEIN
CASE
DEMURRER FILED IN EFFORT
TO FORCE STATE TO "SHOW
IT'S HAND" - SENSATIONAL
DEVELOPMENTS PROMISED
by ATTORNEY.

A new move was made this aft
ernoon In the famous Klein case
when Attorney Charles George,
in an effort to exonerate Joshua
Klein, the alleged religious fana-
tic, who is in Jail for assault on
Miss Dora Culbertson, filed a de-
murrer with Prosecutor ]. l.. Nc
Murray asking for more definite
proof of the alleged assault.
Other developments In the mys-
terious case, which Mr.. George
states will be of a somewhat start
ling nature, are promised within
few hours.
The demurrer filed today asks
that the plaintiff produce all ex-
hibits to be shown at the coming
trial, and especially it show the
knife, or instrument, with which
Klein is alleged to have made the
assault.
1t demands that Miss Culbert-
son, the complainant, shall be
compelled to show her cuts,
wounds and bruises, and that a
physician be appointed by the
court to examine Miss Culbertson
in order to discover any wounds
or marks alleged to have been in
flicted by the prisoner.
The demurrer is accompanied
by affldavit of Klein, who states
that he cannot continue preparing
his defense If the exhibits are moi
produced.
Attorney George stated today
that he is hourly looking for WORD
from the German Embassy al
Washington, d. c., and predicted
that startling action would proba-
bly, be taken In Klein's behalf by
his rich foreign friends.

BILL aimed

SENATOR GRAVES WOULD
ABOLISH PARTIES IN MU-
NICIPAL ELECTIONS--MOV
TOWARD COMMISSION PLAN
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. S.-Senator
Graves of Spokane plans to do
away with the influence of parties
In all municipal elections. His
bill, just introduced in the senate,
provides for non-partizan prim-
ary election for all city officials,
and the two candidates receiving
the highest number of votes for
each office are to be the contest
ants for the office at the election
To bring about this change he
proposes blanket ballot on which
the names of the candidate shall
be printed in alphabetical order
without any reference to which
political party they may belong.
The election ballot will be of the
same kind.
Mr.. Graves municipal plans do
In6t stop there, as he considers
this to be only the first step to-
wards bringing about the commits.
Ision form of government. The
senator from Spokane favors the

municipal experience. AS soon
as party contests have been elm
mated, he believes it will be a sim
pie matter to change all city char
iers so as to permit of the city
being governed by commission
or board after the manner of any
large corporation.
Needless to say the senator from
Spokane is not going to have
any nice time getting this bill
of his through the senate or the
house. In the first place he is a
democrat, one of the infinitesimal
minority and any measure affect
ing parties that he may produce
will be closely scanned by his re-
publican fellows. OF course he'll
have the support of Senator Cot
terill of King, but with all their
personal weight and undisputed
ability the task is likely to be one
that will lead to a glorious but un-
fortunate finish.

MANCHESTER, England, Feb.
S.-Ten men are known to be dead

men were trapped by fire that

A dozen were seriously

The dodgers were asleep when
the flames suddenly swept through
the corridors. A panic followed,
in which men fought with each
other like demons to reach the
windows and stairs.
Scores jumped from the win
dows and from the roof. Most of
the dead were killed by having
their skulls broken by leaping or
by being trampled to death in the
stampede.
Twenty or thirty are missing
and it is almost impossible to gel
any accurate account of those who
were in the lodgings.
The house was consumed in an
hour and now is smolderine
ruin. Most of the men were pool
laborers and nearly all of then
lost all their clothes and whateve

Tacoma late Saturday night and is
now In st. Joseph's hospital where
he Is suffering from general ex-
haustion.
Doesn't Know Name of Ship.
Further than his word Cox can
give nothing to substantiate his
remarkable story. The name of
the vessel on which he was kept
a prisoner for seven weeks he does
not know, nor does he seem to
know whether it was a sailing
ship or a steamer.

Des Moines is little settlement
on the Sound between Tacoma and
Seattle. From that place, Cox
says. he walked to Tacoma, arriv-

then went to the hospital. Mrs.
Cox in turn telegraphed friends
here to look her husband up and
they found him In the hospital
late yesterday where he related his

Cox says he left Tuscon, Ari-

cisco, intending to leave on De-
cember 20 for Pittsburg to see
capitalists who are interested with
him in the mine. On reaching
the depot on December 20 he
found that he had missed his train
and while there two men, whom
he had met on the train coming
from Tuscon, approached him and
together they went to a cafe where
after positively refusing to drink
any liquor he finally consented to
take a lemonade. Cox declares
that the drink was drugged, for
soon after taking 1t he became
drowsy and remembered nothing
more until he awoke aboard a
ship.
At the time Cox had about
