believe that the $1,000 raised by
Gov. Hadley for a State song will

WASHINGTON, June 6-That men have

Ing IN the secondary public schools of
the United States than women, and that
they remain in teaching little longer than
the opposite sex, are conclusions reached
by Edward l.. Thorndike of the Teachers
college, Columbia university. after a care

sented by him in a publication arranged
at the request of the United States Blu
reau of Education and made public today.
Prof. Thorndike presents variety OF
significant facts with regard to the educa-
ton. experience and salaries Of teachers
In the secondary schools
lie also notes that there is not so much
difference in the pay for the same (or
ostensibly the same) work as the aver

believe. The average salaries are COM

pected to DO the lions share in the organ
ization and the care OF the school. All
these are much more often men than
women. Consequently Prof. Thorndike de-
clares, the most frequent or most typical
mans salary is only 1913 per cent greater
than that Of women.
The report develops the further facts
hat only one-fifth of the women reach
the median salary for men; more than
five-ninths Of the women have as long
an education as has the median man and
not quite two-fifths Of the women have
taught as long as the median man.
After pointing out that fun efficiency

secondary school Is reached IN this
case I'm three years. Prof. Thorndike
suggests. in conclusion, that II may be

Efforts of Companions Fail to Rescue
Seventeen Year-0ld Boy Swimmer
Who Ventured Too Near.

Attempting to swim through one OF the
most dangerous places in the Missouri

Of age, was drowned at noon Sunday IN
sight of his companions near the intake
of the Omaha Water company at Flor

with clifford Kierie and Tod Miller
the Martin boy was boat riding in the
Missouri river and concluded to take
swim. He started down stream and before
he knew It was In one of the whirlpools
which are created and change frequently
near the crib of the water company.
Even In the face of the rapids the boat
was started at once for the spot where
Martin went down and every effort made
to rescue him. From the very rapids
clifford Kierle has pulled out several boys
who have been drawn under. But this
time the boy was gone.
One hundred yards or more below the
whlring waters released Harry Martin
and he came to the surface. But 1t was
only for moment. Rapids at that point,
where the river is travelling twenty miles
an hour and Is thirty feet deep, drew
him under as soon as his arms and head
were fairly out of the water.
Since the last suction or lhe water ldr
below the boat the body has not been
seen nor could hooks and dynamite recover
Il after eight or nine hours work Sunday
afternoon and evening. Those acquainted
with the freaks of the Missouri river be-
iieve the body has been carried down the
river past Omaha, the whirling current
not permitting 1t to come TO the surface
for moment This has been the expert
ence in the past with many who have been
drowned near Florence.
year ago a young man named Sulli-
van was caught in the same rapids which
took the life of Harry Martin, Not long
before Sullivan lost his life a workman
was caught in the nav Of the whirlpool,
and Florence people believe at least half
a dozen have been claimed as victims OF
the current since the crib was built
| Friends of the young man who was
drowned Sunday watched the river from
the bridge in Omaha and below the. city,
while workmen were secured and dyna-
mited in the whirlpools near the scene
of the drowning.
The young man was in the Florence
schools and Is well known In the suburb.

P arjs to Have
Balloon Service
Lines of Dirigibles Are Projected to
Run to Several Other
Cities.

PARIS, June 6.--The French Aerial league
has perfected plans for lines of dirigible
balloons from Paris, respectively, to Nancy,
Lyons, Pau and Rouen. Five dirigibles will
be employed in this service. Their length
will be between sixty and eighty meters.
Two will have a capacity of $500 cubic
meters, one Of 5000 and one of 1000 cubic
meters. All will be capable of an average
speed of fifty kilometers (thirty-one miles
an hoIr)
One of the drigibles, which is named
willie Nancy" has been constructed, and
the PsFls-Nancy line, with a daily service
in good weather. will be inaugurated in
September. In this service stops win be
made at Meaux and Rheims Henry
Deutsch de la Meurthe, who offered the
prize of $4,000 which Santos-Dumont won
by circumnavigating the Eiffel tower in
1900. as well as many aeroplane prizes, has
contributed large sum to the enterprise.
The government is also giving material aid
with the object of having a practical aerial
fleet available in case of war.

II was suggested at Chamber Of Com

sifternoon that the President of the
United States appoint five men to CO.
operate with five men from Virginia. ap-
pointed by the governor, to consider the
question of the retrocession OF the por-
ton of Virginia at one time included In
the District of Columbia This came In
the form OF a motion from Amos B. Cas-
selman. The subcommittee Is to report
to the law and legislation committee,
which will transmit the sentiment of the
members to the chamber at a future
meeting.
Attention was directed To section =,
clause 3. Of the Constitution:
The Congress shall have power to dis
pose of and make all needful rules and
regulations respecting the territory or
other property belonging to the United
States. and nothing in this Constitution
shall be so construed as to prejudice any
claims of the United States or of any
particular states"
Many of the members believe that un-
der this clause the recession of the land
in question was constitutional and the
TetrocesSlon would be also constitutional.
Changes in District Code.
AT the same meeting the subcommittee
on changes in the District code made a
