HAVE AGREED TO DIE

LIVERPOOL, April 1.-THE sui
cides of Margaret Clark and Helen
Miller, the two young American women
who shot themselves on board the
Lucania on her trip from New York,
are now stated to have been not mere
ly result of death compact, but Of
drawing lots in an American suicide

believed to be the symbol OF this So
ciety Both the women left New York
determined to obey their obligation,
demanding the death of members at
fixed periods.

FRAZIER BILL
IS RE-INTRODUCED
DESIGNED TO PREVENT SHIP.
MENT OF LIQUORS INTO
DRY TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Frazier, re-interoduced his liquor trat.
fic bill in the senate Thursday. This
bill, il enacted into a law, will re-.
quire that all interstate shipments Of
liquor shall become subject to the
police laws of the respective state to
which they might be consigned imme-
diately upon their crossing the Dor
der.
Senator Frazier said that he really
expected that the judiciary commit
tee was going to give the matter Sc
rious consideration during the pres
ent congress as the people Of the pro-
hibition states are clamoring for pro-
lection.
The judiciary committee Of con-
gress, has been responsible for the
holdup of all legislation along this
line in the past, but they now seem to
realize that something must be done
in the way of making laws to protect
the states that have passed prohibit
ton laws or there will be a serious
swath cut in the republican ranks at
the polls next election.

gees. Then they took up the work
of the government in the matter OF In
dustrial peace, saying they would send
a delegate to the industrial peace con-
ference in Chicago. The members OF
the council asked the President to
provide means for carrying ont the
child labor law in the District OF Co
Iumbia. Commissioner of Labor Neill,
who was present, suggested that two
inspectors be appointed for the pur-
pose. and the President said that he
would suggest it, including authority
for the parent deficiency bill.
The labor men requested the Presi-
lent to have a report submitted as to
whether there was a disposition on
he part of Panama canal o6lcials to
lisplace Americans and employ for
signers in their places. The Presi-
lent said that while he felt certain
his was not true, he would have an
Investigation made. There was talk
It the conference also about proposed
amendments to the antitrust law. The
President said he would consider what
,ught to be done.
After formulating amendment which
le had in contemplation, he would be
lad to confer with the labor leaders

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Rem

ed by President Roosevelt through the
secretry of agriculture is a legally
constituted body and will continue in
business. Acknowledgement Wicker
sham, to whom the question of the
legality of the board was referred, has
decided that it was created and main
tanned in harmony with existing law,
and Secretary Wilson, on receipt OF
the opinion that the work of the
board would continue. The decision
of Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry that benzoate OF
soda as preservative for foods was
harmful led to the creation of pe
board. When DR.. Wiley reached t8s
conclusion the secretary of agricultGie
issued an order under the pure food
law prohibiting the use of benzoate
Of soda as a preservative. This
raised strong protest from Gamers,
bottlers and packers, and President
Roosevelt acting through Secretary
Wilson, appointed the board
Dr. Wiley reached his conclusion
that benzoate of soda as a preserya-
tive was harmful after tests extend
ing over several months on human
subjects.

ATLANTA MEETING
OF THE EDUCATORS
COMES TO CLOSE
MUCH SATISFACTION EXPRESSED
At AMOUNT or WORK Ac-
coMPLLsHED.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
improvement in Country Supervision
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Train
ing Of Teachers urged-compulsory
Education Along Certain Lines.

ATLANTA. Ga, April 17.-With
mixed feelings of satisfaction and re-
eret the Twelfth Annual Conference
for Education in the South closed Fri
day night. The satisfaction was at
the immense amount accomplished
during the scolastic year just termi-
mated. The regret was that the meet
ing, so pleasant and instructive, was
so brief. Every member of the con-
ference united in a declaration that
never had the members experienced
as satisfactory a meeting.
The early sessions OF the closing
day were devoted largely to women
and woman's work in the problem that
the conference is endeavoring to in
terest all good citizens in solving.
Women who have devoted their lives
to teaching or to the study of those
economic problems which every COM
munity has to solve some time or
other, gave to the conference mem
bers the benefit of their conclusions.
Before the conference adjourned
these resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, the. the Conference for
Education in the South recommends
for special attention in the work OF
the immediate future:
Il. Improvement in country super
vision as the strategic point in the en-
tire educational system.
"2. The professional training of
teachers to meet the just demand for
more efficient service, and especially
the strengthening of the department
of education in the higher institutions
for the training of men as teachers
and principals of high schools and as
Superintendent.
80. The extension of local school
Improvement leagues to carry to every |
community in the South and the earn
est effort to place the work upon a
self-supporting basis.
a. Continued efforts in behalf of
compulsory education in such manner
as may be deemed wise in each State.
IS. We recognize with delight the
increase in dignity and power of State
Euperintendents of Education, which
is attracting the strongest men among
us, and the growing recognition of
these leaders as the real shepherds of
the people.
sc. The National Bureau of Educa-
ton at washington has made such use
of its limited resources as has rem
dered II a valuable reinforcement OF
every good educational movement
throughout the land We are glad to
note that Congress has begun to make
distinct increase in appropriations, as
what has hitherto been made is totally
inadequate to the needs of the office
and painfully disproportionate to the
of the interests which it
serves. We respectfully urge upon
Congress that it undertake without
further delay the placing of this Blu S
reau upon a plane of efficiency such
as will enable it to render in full the
service which the States represented
in this Conference require and expect
from such a Federal Office"

Cost of Sugar Production in Cuba.

Some details as to the cost of sugar
production in Cuba are included in the
latest report of the Secretary of Agricul
ture for the island. On the average of
five years-which includes the plant cane
crop and four ratoon crops following
the average cost of preparation of the
land, planting and cultivating each year
is about $500 per acre. Over the same
period the average yield of cane is %
tons per acre per annum. The annual
expense of reaping and transportation of
the cane to the factories amounts to
about $1,000, so that the total cost of
planting, cultivating and reaping works
out at $500 per acre, or very approx
mately $l.70 per ton of cane. The aver
age return from one ton of cane is stated
to be 263 pounds of sugar of 96 per cent
test.
