NEW YORK SCHOOL
GOVERNED BY PUPIL 9

New York, Nov. ~. = There is .
school in New York where "self.gov
eminent" has so far progressed tha+
the institution is constituted into !.
kind of imitation municipality. Tho
faculty has, in fact, little or nothing
to say about how the conduct Of the
pupils is to be governed. So far tho
experiment has been a success and
while there are more than 1900 punils
in the school, there is none in the civ
where there is more respect for the
rules or where misconduct is moro
justly punished.
This school, No. ITO, is the center of
the most thickly populated tenement
house district of New York. OF the
$500 pupils, 60 per cent. are of foreign
parentage and 20 per cent. foreign
born themselves. The civil govern
ment has been in vogue three years.
and this week the officers for the pres
ent term were installed in office after
one of the most holly contested cam
paigns in the history of the school.
There are two distinct and separate
governments in the school. One is for
the boys and the other for the girls.
The administrative staff of each con-
sists of mayor, district attorney.
commissioners of police, street clean
ing and public works, and a presiding
and two officiating judges. There are
also numerous minor officials, includ-
ing special deputies, policemen, detec-
tives, inspectors and investigators.
Mayor Joseph Appel, aged 10, is a
strong believer in drastic punishment.
Any boy caught in a wrong act is sum-
moned before the judges or police COM
missioner and warned. The second
time the district attorney demands
sentence, which is perhaps to write
the name of the offense 1000 times on
the blackboard. Continued arraign-
ment naturally leads to loss of citizen
ship. Neither teachers or principals
are allowed to enter the courtroom dur
ing trial.
According to Miss Esther Salzman,
the girls mayor, who has reached the
age of Is, the girls government be-
lieves in the probationary system It
pays better to reform girl on the
honor system than to punish her. If
she breaks her parole she loses her
citizenship papers in the republic of
No. no. In this policy Miss Salzman
is upheld by her cabinet.

FIFTH OF COAL OUTPUT
CONSUMED IN LOCOMOTIVES

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-Ninety
million tons of coal, one-fifth of the
total production of the country, were
consumed by the $1,000 locomotives in
the United States in 1906, in hauling
freight and passenger trains. This
fuel cost the railroad companies $780,
100000
This enormous consumption of coal
by the railroads led the United States
geological survey, through it's techno-
logic branch, to conduct a series of
tests on locomotive, to determine
whether or not there could be a saving
to the country in the amount of fuel
used, and the results have just been
announced in bulletin of the survey.
Prof. w. F. M. Goss, now dean of the
University of Illinois, who had charge
of the experiments, makes the state
ment that of the total 100000 tons
used, 10,0S0,000 tons are lost through
the heat in the gases that are dis
charged from the stacks of the locomo-
tives; $4,000 tons are lost through
the incomplete combustion of gases. In
addition, 100000 tons are consumed
in starting fires, in moving the locomo-
tives to their trains, in backing trains
into or out of sidings and in keeping
the locomotive hot while standing.
Under ideal conditions of opera.
tion," says Prof. Goss, much of the
fuel thus used could be saved, and it
is reasonable to expect that the norm.
al process of evolution in railroad prac.
tice will tend gradually to bring about
some reduction in the consumption
thus accounted for.

SHERIFF MUST SERVE
ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNERS.

In a recent decision the State Su.
preme Court establishes rule that
in cases brought to foreclose tax GER
tificates, personal service must be had
by the sheriff on the defendant. The
ancient custom of having the sheriff
make a return of mot found on the
unknown owner" of the property
sought under tax foreclosure will not
do. The name of the owner must be
furnished by the plaintiff, and the
sheriff must at least attempt to make
personal service.
The case decided was that of A. N
Olson and wife against Paul H. Jones.
Jones secured tax title to two lots IN
West Seattle owned by Olson. Olson
sued to have the delinquency certifi.
Gates set aside on the ground that he
was never notified of the suit. The
sheriff's return of mot found" against
the unknown owner" of the lots in
question was Jones' proof of his claim
This the Supreme Court set aside, it
being shown that Olson lived in Bal
lard, his name was in the city direc-
tory, and he could readily have been
served
Il shall be glad if the Supreme Court
has ruled out this practice of suing for
tax titles against unknown owners,
said Chief Deputy Sheriff John String
er. ct is obviously unfair and makes
this office a lot of trouble. We have
been expected to swear that the 'un'
known owner of property could not be
found in King county, whereas the
owner, if known, might be any citizen
of Seattle.
81 have looked up numerous cases
of this sort and found that the prop
erty owner had failed to pay taxes by
some trifing mistake, and that some
one was seeking to seize his property
by this unknown owner process. II
was obviously unfair to property own
ers and put the sheriff's office in an err
roneous position. l would be glad il
we never had to make another not
| found return on an unknown owner.
The owner is always on record in the
| treasurer office, and in abstract Of
Ifces, and his name can easily be found
Then personal service can be had upon
him. If the Supreme Court has so de
cided it will help us out great DEAL

Whatever advantage there is in the
early start which the democrats have
in the race Is more
MIXING than offset, according
MORE. to the way the older
ones look at it. by the
opportunity of studying the weak
points in the ticket and framing up
to take advantage of them. The con-
vention had hardly adjourned last
night before the plans of the republic
cans were being shaped to meet the
declaration which the democrats made
in their selection. From now on until
Wednesday night. when they will meet
in convention, the republicans will
have their time well occupied. If they
do the right thing then there will be
nothing to it except waiting for the Of
ficial announcement Of the result,
Wednesday night is the last date when
nominations can be filed; the results of
the republican convention will have to
be filed with the city clerk after the
adjournment and before midnight or
there will be no republican ticket in
the field. In this respect the repub-
lcans have done all they could to make
the campaign short one, which Is
what everybody wanted. Three days
will not make a very long campaign,
but withal. it will be long enough for
everybody. The issues are well enough
understood and the candidates are well
enough known to make an extended
campaign entirely unnecessary, and
the republicans have won the appre-
citation of the city by cutting it short

sides politics which indicate more

OFFICIALS TRAVEL.

The county commissioners spent
yesterday, the first day of this weeks
session, in inspecting roads and
bridges
The Daily Missoulian., 1909-03-30

There were divided opinions in the
crowd that came down from the court
house last night after
FIXING the convention. That is
IT UP. not strange, as there
were a good many re-
publicans in the crowd, and as the
democrats are far from being a unit
in regard to their municipal policy. 1t
was whispered last night, just before
the convention met, that Mr.. Patter-
son would be nominated this morning
by petition If he was not named by
the party delegates, and that the nom
mating papers were all ready to be
filed; this may have had something to
do with the selection of the Third ward
ward alderman for the head Of the
ticket candidacy But he went through
flying there being nobody else who
could be induced to take the place. UP
to the last minute there was an indus
trious endeavor made to find somebody
who would enter the lists against the
gentleman from the Third ward, but
none could be found There was
boom for Pat Reilly which gained
strength and looked like a winner un-
til Mr.. Reilly appeared and heard
about it, Even when his friends in
sisted upon having his name placed
before the public he stood pat, and it
was he who made the nomination of
Mr.. Patterson so splendidy <unani-
nous that the old-time members won
dered what had become of the ancient
glory of their party. 1t was the old
Bloody Fourth that furnished the
only real contest. After years of slum-
ber the Fourth walked up to scrap
last night and it's performance was
the only thing natural about the con-
vention. But even that was not salts
flying.
