HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS REBEL
FOUR HUNDRED PARADE THE
STREETS OF CLEVELAND.
Demand for Reduction in Price of
Lunches and Abolition of
Afternoon Sessions.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, November Re
fusing to make any concessions. the 400
striking pupils of the West High School
began march today which included a
mob visit to every high school in the
city and ended in general meeting at
noon in the public square, in the center
ot the downtown district. This was fol-
lowed by visit to the school headquar-
terS on East 9th street.
Yesterday Principal Lynch of West
High offered to negotiate with the board
of education for the pupils if they woulu
return to school. At mass meeting
early today the boys and girls decided to
stay out of school until the board decided
to abolish the afternoon sessions and re-
duce the cost of lunrheons.
Proposed Reference to Parents.
The attitude of the members of the
school board is TO refer the matter of
double or single sessions to the parents
in a referendum vote and abide by the
decision. No action has been taken Off
c.ally by the school board. A special
meeting will be held tomorrow, proba bly,.
to effect d settlement. AS the strikers arr.
beyond the age of enforced attendance
at school they cannot be compelled by
law to return and the board Is more or
less at, the mercy of the strikers if high
schools are to be continued.
Pupils of South High joined the strik-
ers, but they did not meet with as much
success as the other schools.

Rumor Echoed All Over the World

CABLE CARRIED NO BAD NEWS
Former President Not Heard From
Since October 26. When He
Started on Hunt.

a rumor that ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt has been killed on his hunting
trip in Africa was afioat in Washington
this morning.
Diligent search failed to discover the
slightest foundation for it,
Inquiries from many parts of the coun-
try make It evident that the rumor is
widespread.
At the Smithsonian Institution not the
slightest word Of such a fatality or even
of an accident had been received.
The State Department, which would be
most likely 10 be notified by its con-
ceived no such news
No Bad News Over Cable.
Confidential information, from a source
whose reliability cannot be questioned was
obtained here early this afternoon, max
ing il appa rently absolutely certain that
no tidings of any mishap to Mr.. Roosc-
welt have reached this country by any
of the ocean cables
This seems to establish the fact that
the rumor is without foundation.
Unless the plans of the party have been
deviated from. Col. Roosevelt should be
now on the Guas lnSishu plateau. He left
Londiani with several companions October
~, arriving at -lldama ravine on the fol-
lowing day.
The last word from his Immediate party
was from Albania ravine. and was re-
ceived i'll this country by way of Nairobi
October q. At that time the party was
preparing To proceed immediately for
Guas lngishu plateau. 1t was planned to
return to Londiani in five weeks.
In Good Hunting Ground.
The Guas Ing.shu plateau is a vast open
plain in the north of kisumu province
II Is covered with grass and frnged on
all sides with trees. 1t affords some of
the best grazing lands in the British pro-
tectorate and is a hunting ground the
visit to which had been eagerly antici-
pated by Col. Roosevelt.
The direct route had not been deter
mined, so far as is known, when the
party left Aldama ravine: but working
westward by the most likely path. the
party would in few days be at Handi
Bona. British military station.
News of their arrival at this point
might be possible through native run
ners in the employ of the British military
authorities Nothing has been received
SO far as known through these channels.

do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her %neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made.
exclusively from a simple formula Of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's expert
ence with Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write:
and ask her.
Houston, Texas:a"When I first began taking Lydia 3. Pink
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. Ihad tried several doctors medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"FOr three years / lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisement of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued it's use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
IT advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
regret it, for it will surely cure you."-Nrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland St, Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

PROVISIONS.
$4,000 TO COVER EXPENSES

Heads the commission-ReynoIds
Of Massachusetts, and San.
ders, Of Chicago.

Beverly, Observation-Disclosures
Taft appointed the new tariff board,
which is to assist him in the execu.
ton Of the new tariff law with espe.
cial reference to applying the maxi
mum and minimum clauses to nations
which are unfriendly to their tariff
relations with the United States.
The new board consists of three
members-Professor Henry G. Emery,
of Yale, chairman; James B. Rey.
nolds, of Massachusetts,, now assist.
ant secretary of the treasury, and
Alvin H. Sanders, of Chicago, at pres.
ent editor and proprietor of the
Breeders Gazette.
In announcing the selection of this
new board, authorized by the Payne
tariff bill, the following statement
was given out at the executive offices:
"The president and the secretary OF
the treasury have agreed upon the
plan that these gentlemen are to con.
stitute the board and are to be given
authority to employ such special ex'
perts as may be needed in the investi.
cation of the foreign and domestic
tariff"
There has been much discussion
ever since the passage of the Payne
bill as to just what authority the
tariff commission shall have.
AS the measure left the house OF
representatives it provided that the
commission or board of experts should
advise both the president and con
gress on technical questions about
the tariff. The senate did not ap
prove of this broad authority and sc
amended the provision for the ap
pointment of the board as to prescribe
that the duties should be limited to
assisting the president in the admin.
~istration of the section relating tc
maximum and minimum rates.
No announcement was made as to
what salaries the three commissioners
are to receive. Congress appropriated
a lump sum Of $4,000 to cover salar.
les and the expenses of the investi.
cations of the commission.
