 The three sent a communication to the board, couched in polite and re- spectful terms in which they called attention to the benefits to be derived ] from these organizations. especially in parliamentary practice and in literary pursuit. and though there was no att tempt to take issue with the Board of Education as to the merits of the Clark case, it is understood that the communication intimated that the fra ternities and sororities considered themselves as institutions separate from the school and that the Board of Education . is going beyond it's turis- diction in attempting to regulate the conduct of the societies.
 There are nine secret societies con- nected with the Bridgeport High school, several of them many years old, few of comparatively recent origin. They are Gamma Delta. Psi. Alpha Delta Sigma.

Even more than that, while the investigation was in progress, men who ought to have known better by virtue of their ex- perience in the legislative life of the city, kept obtruding themselves most extensively into the questioning of witnesses. 1 can make allowances for fatherly interest in the girls who were in the extremely bad position of having brought about Miss Clark S condition, but there is a limit to the bounds that even gentlemen ought to be allowed to go.
 Yet the board sat supipely by and allowed the thing to go unnoticed. Why didn't I take a hand? Well, I was tempted to, but it didn't take a Madame Paladino to see where the board stood It was bound to pro- tect the girls at any cost. We would reach a critical stage in the question: ing, and then both the inquisitor and the witness would stop. There was sider an implied agreement to avoid certain phases of the doings at the Plumb home. I hope I may be ex- cused from going into the delicacy of the board members situation Col. Havens asked to be excused, and we allowed him to withdraw. He wish ed to aid the counsel for the defence. He proved I should say the most valuable ally the girls could have found.

Hundreds have been initiated and the same sort of pranks have been played. But it is just this chance that another Lorraine Clark will be initiated a girl of highly nervous temperament, of an age at which these things made a pro- found impression upon her.. that leads me to believe that hazing stunts should be done away with. We may have as surances that these things will stop, but in their very nature these secret organizations cannot exist without some sort of initiation. and I don't be lieve there are many secret societies in the world who have limitations with out their humorous sides.

ROOSEVELT TALK IS FLAYED

I.ondon.-Goyernme officials and

rebuked England's administration OF
affairs in Egypt, will greatly increase

But nothing could be palmer than
that the leading politicians fear that
Roosevelt's bold utterances will act
as a fuse that will yet touch on an
upheaval in Anglo-Egyptian relations.

Features Of Railroad Bill.

Observation-Disclosures as appears,
upon first reading the railroad bill
which as just passed the senate, it re.
solves itself, upon examination, to two
propositions.
The first of these is that 1t creates
a court of commerce to consider and
determine appeals from the decisions
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, and the second is that 1t amends
the so-called Hepburn law OF four
years ago so as to increase the powers
of the interstate commerce commits.
sion over railroads and the making
of railroad rates.
The progressives and Democrats
have in large measure been success
full in their efforts to liberalize the
measure. Thus, while the regulars
have won out on the matter of estab.
fishing a court Of commerce, the in
surgents and Democrats, aided now
and then by regulars, have succeeded
in Incorporating in the bill many fea-
lures of progressive legislation which
were not included in the original
measure.

CORN AND OATS ACREAGE Is
LARGER THAN LAST
YEAR.
OUTLOOK is VERY FAVORABLE
Cold and Wet Weather Had Retardine
Influence, But With Ordinarily Fa-
vorable Weather Harvest Should Be
as Large as Last Year.

Cincinnati, O.-Reports received by
the Enquirer from % states in the
Mississippi valley for the last week
of May indicate that these states will
this year produce approximately 49,
100000 mora bushels of corn than last
year, and 35,0O0,000 more bushels of
oats.
These states have planted 4,570, $40
more acres in corn, and 1,020,657 more
in oats. The average yields per acre
for 1909 were 25.5 bushels of corn and
80 bushels of oats.
Corn is later this year than last.
Because Of the cold weather 1t was
late in being put into the ground and
after it had sprouted the continued
cold retarded growth and with the
considerable rains encouraged cut
worms. Consequently replanting has
been necessary in many places. But
warm days are in sight now and with
ordinary favorable weather the crop
should produce Qually as well per acre
as last year.
oats have had an exceptionally good
start, and despite the cold are in bet
ter condition than last year practical
ly everywhere. Indeed, most reports
are so extremely favorable that there
is good reason to expect the oats
yield this year to reach 35 bushels per
acre in many sections.
