Brander Matthews Proposes

Indianapolis, Ind, April 3S.-Brander
Matthews, literary and dramatic critic
at Columbia University, calmly in
formed the members of the Southern
Indiana School Teachers Association
yesterday that he is an advocate OF
photographic anarchy" He ex.
planned what he meant before any OF
the budding young teachers from the
outlying districts had chance to wor.
ry. His anarchy consisted of a red
hot attack on the present methods oi
spelling.
II advocate photographic anarchy
l won't spell according to prescribed
methods. l think everybody else has
right to exercise the same sort ot
independence.
"A man said to me: How can you
expect any self-respecting cat to purr
with only one or an important hen te
lay an egg with only one e told him
the cat had been keeping warm all
winter with fur with only one r, and
most good hens managed to scratch
a pretty good living with legs contain
ing only one g.
To-day you think the bonnet of four
years ago ridiculous, if you were to
see one of three years to come, il
would probably seem ridiculous at the
present rate of expansion. 1t is the
same with photography. We want to
get away from the idea that there il
had years ago insisted on being con
servative we would have had spades
and horses instead of plows and wag
ons. If we go far enough back we will
find among our ancestors many SO con

City Committee Met Last Eve
ming and Decided Upon the
Date Which Insures a Four
Weeks Campaign.
DATE SATISFACTORY
TO THE CANDIDATES
Assessments Not Pro Rated
Last Evening Because
Some Minor Candidates Are
Not Yet Announced.

Monday, May was decided upon
as the date for the holding of the re
publican primary nomination in this
city, at the meeting of the city com
mittee last evening in the office OF
DIR. Ferling. chairman. Several other
matters of Importance were consider.
ed but no action taken by the com
mittee.
The committee, after hearing the
expression of the candidates at the
joint conference at the Pythian tenn
pie Thursday night was almost OF q
unanimous opinion that the date
should be the first Monday in May
Few of the candidates seemed to de
sire an earlier date and none a later
date. The committee feels that this
date will be very satisfactory to al
candidates concerned and the republi
can voters at large.
Four Weeks Campaign.
1t leaves but four weeks for the
candidates to make their campaign
and it is probable that all will jumr
into the fray with renewed zeal and
determination. Some Of the candidates
have not started their campaign con
vass actively while others have can
vassed the field thoroughly and viii
go over 1t again.
It is probable that there win be ont
more voting precinct than usual II
primary elections In the city. Tit
seventh ward is 30 large that thu
committee has under consideration
the advisability of creating anothel

Economy will be practiced by thl
committee as much as possible accord
ing to a statement of DR.. Ferlin1
this morning.
The probability that an extra off

cinct and the fact that meals for tn
officials will be 40 cents instead o
25 cents makes the question of econ

SAYS NAVY
No BLUFF
Declares 1t Equal to War;
Merchant Marine Is
Needed Ship
Subsidy Bill

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Defend-
ing with characteristic vigor the
American navy, Admiral Dewey to-
day asserted that not only is our
navy not a "bluff" but that he is
confident that it would give a good
account of itself should war ever
come.
The admiral's remarks were called
forth by a statement attributed to
Former Representative Lands of
diana, who, in recent speech at Gin
cinnati, Ohio, on advocating ship
subsidy, is reported to have said
that "those Americans who are in
formed consider our navy bluff >
Declaring that he saw no war
clouds gathering on the horizon, Ad-
miral Dewey discussed several phases
of the navy. He expressed himself
as heartily in favor of ship subsidy
legislation and made strong plea
for the ontinued upbuilding Of the
navy.
Referring to the remark attrib-
uted to Mr.. Lands, Admiral Dewey
said "Of course, what Mr.. Lands
meant was that the navy would be
comparatively useless in time OF
war without necessary auxiliaries
drawn from the merchant marine"
He" continued Admiral Dewey

COOK ASKS
FOR A FLY
After Great Ovation Re.
ceived in St. Louis,
Proposes to Curtiss
That They Make Trip

ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-Glenn Curtiss
made another trial fight in his twen-
ty-fve horse power byplane today. 1t
was conducted before small audi
ence.
Curtiss was in the air minute and
half, sailing in that time three
quarters of a mile against a fresh
east wind.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the Arctic
explorer, headed the most impressive
of the Centennial weeks pageants to-
day, when he rode at the head of
the military, historical and educa-
tional parade.
Cooks appearance was the occa-
sion for great outbursts of cheering
all along the line of march. Flags,
handkerchiefs and hats were waved
and the ovation was made exceed
ingly enthusiastic. Cook responded to
the outbursts with modest salutations
to the crowds.
1t is reported in an evening paper
that at a meeting between DR.. Cook
and Glenn Curtiss this afternoon the
explorer proposed to the aviator that
he take him up for night In his ma
chine. Curtiss Is said to have dis
scented from the proposition on the
grJund that he did not care to ZEN
danger the safety of Cook, but left
the proposition open fir further con-
sideration.
George Francois Osmont, who is
here with the Farman bi-plane
wrich won the endurance pripe at
Rheims, attempted three times at
dusk to satisfy the crowd that he
could fly. He circled the field sew
eral times, but not fast enough to
enable him to leave the ground.
Roy Knabenshue, Lincoln Beachey
and Thomas Baldwin made flights in
dirigibles. Baldwin made an en-
tended flight, when motor troubles
overcame him and he was forced to
land in the crowd. His second
flight, after repairs had been made
was successful. Knabenshue and
Beachey thrilled the spectators by
mounting simultaneously and flying
about two miles side by side. Knab-
enshue left Beachey's airship in the
rear when the latter's motor became
overheated. Knabenshue then swept
out over the park in a great circle.

CHEAP DIVORCE FOR POOR.
British Lawyers Would Have 1t No
Longer LuXury of Rich.

LONDON, Oct. 8-The incorporat-
ed Law Society, the authentic rep
resentative of the English legal pro-
fession, has adopted resolution
calling for change in the present
laws so that petitioners of small
means may obtain divorce DEGREES in
the local courts. At present divorce
cases are heard only in London,
which prohibits any but wealthy
persons from obtaining DEGREES.
It is the sense of the society that
elief from matrimonial unhappiness
and faithlessness should be within
reach of the poor as we'll as the rich.
Under present conditions ill mated
couples living at distance from
London and having NO means have
no way of bringing suit for divorce.
The society further recommends a
law prohibiting newspapers from
publishing anything about divorce
cases beyond mere mention of de-
cree granted.
