Louis Chevrolet the famous pilot, who

drive again this season. His injuries re-

enter active racing again this year. and
he has not definitely decided about his
career in 1911. While his injuries are not
serious, a sprained shoulder is causing
him considerable inconvenience, and will
preclude the possibility of his driving
again In the season Of 1910.

TRAGEDIES OF EDUCATION
IN 0VERCROWDED ENGLAND
Special Correspondence OF The Star.


LONDON, October Il. 1910
NNE or the most crying scandals
has just been revealed by the
council recently organized on be-
half OF the unemployed teachers in
London. Through the false economy
and mismanagement of the London
county council in overstocking the
training colleges. it is said, thousands
of qualified teachers arc starving
Six thousand teachers leave the train
ing colleges annually after five or sew
en- years special study, to find them
selves in an overcrowded market OF
this number only 1000 are engaged by
the educational authorities. Thus va
cancfeS could be filled a hundred times
over.
Most Of these teachers are out of
work: others have accepted any en-
ployment to earn L living This state
Of affairs is revealed in the letters that
have reached the committees Offices
Educated young women are serving as
mattresses i'm cheap restaurants. doing
laundry work. hawking needlework
from door to door. and are serving IN
saloons as barmaids. OF the highly
qualfhed man teachers. two have be
come farm laborers. A third is a clerk
in a clothing factory at S2.25 week
and works from I'm the morning until
in the evening; this man spent seven
years in a training college.
One girl, living at Islington, writes:
GLORIOUS news. After thirteen
months Of unemployment ] have at last
obtained post daily governess near
Regents Park at the enormous salary
of So a week. It's just enough to keep
me from starvation. for j shall have
to pay so cents q week car fare"
This girl was trained for FIVE years
as q pupil teacher. spent two years ut
college. then made ninety-eight appli-
cations for posts in London and 90;
for posts in the provinces
Some Of them have painful exper-
fences when In search OF work. One
girl went to a village in the north OF
England to interview q clergyman who
wanted a governess, and when leaving.
the vicar said to her. referring to the
question OF travelling expenses which
prospective employers are expected to
1T may be one month. or two. or
more. before I can pay you. ] believe
your train goes at 4:45. Good after
noon" The poor girl had Travelled for
miles and she was not offered even a
get the situation.
Another highly educated girl is ad-
dressing envelopes at 15 cents thou
sand. Before resorting to this she had
as teacher.
Some of the statements made in the
letters almost pass belief. One quail
fed teacher. who is a member of the
territorial army, was apparently just
saved from starvation by his camp al
lowance. Among the situations filled
by unemployed teachers, in addition To
those mentioned, are the following:
House painter. photographer odd
man, holiday governess tunsalariedp.
assistant governess at SIS year and
living out, printers reader and grocers
assistant.
The awful point about all these cases
is that through the curious policy Of
the London county council all these
young people were trained in the defin-
lite expectations Of entering a we'll paid
profession.

One method OF avoiding noise and the
explosion of unfired charges is to keep the
silencer clean. This will also obviate back
pressure. The surface of the silencer as
sists to cool theAexhaust to an appreciable
extent, and the cooler the waste gases
enter the air the less the noise. A little
mud on the silencer will cause a whole lot
of unnecessary noise.

STRIKE REACHES
 SERIOUS STAGE

Chicago, December 15.-The passing of all hopes of an immediate settlement of the garment workers strike threw many of the strikers into a frenzy of despair today and the labor controversy entered the most serious stage of it's history.
 In riots, which began early, one striker was shot and killed, another was prob- ably fatally wounded, four policemen were injured and another was badly hurt.
 The strikers were shot by the police during a riot in which the garment work CTS had attacked the blue coats with 'blackjacks."
 The rioting was precipitated when Annie Novjack, a strikebreaker, slapped a picket who had seized her. Private detectives interfered, the policemen went to their assistance and the rioting be- came general.
 As a result of the riot, every available policeman in Chicago has been ordered on reserve duty to be prepared to rush into the strike district.
 Another effort to devise means of ef- fecting settlement was begun by the city council committee, headed by the mayor, and long conference was held late today with representatives of the Chicago Federation of Labor and the clothing manufacturers. The result or kthe conference was not made public, but 1 all sides agreed an immediate settlement Nas unlikely.

ELECTIONS ARE
 ALMOST ENDED

London, December 15.-The latest re- turns announced tonight give the gov ernment coalition 353 seats and the union ists 257.
 The standing of the parties is now as follows:
 Government coalition:
 Liberals 240.
 Laborites 70.
 Nationalists 64.
 Independent nationalists g.
 Opposition:
 Unionists 257.
 Government majority 96.
 Clearly in the new parliament. as in the last parliament, the nationalists by combining with the unionists could over throw the government but the liberals, laborites and nationalists are all equally desirous of abolishing the veto of the house of lords, and may be expected to work together to attain that object.
 Chancellor Lloyd-George. speaking at Eastman tonight, predicted that when the elections wore completed the government. apart from the Irish vote, would have a British majority of at least 60 He said this election would make deeper im- pression on the history of the country than any election in modern times.

DEMOCRATS WILL
 MEET IN CAUCUS

Washington, December 15.-(Special.)- The House democrats are expected to meet in caucus tomorrow or Saturday. The meeting is called primarily to ar range for caucus early in January which will be attended by the democratic members who will sit in the next House. This second caucus, as heretofore stated, is to name a tentative ways and means committee, which will be ready to bring in tariff bills as soon as the new House convenes. It is realized here that it will be impossible to escape the subject of rules of the next House at the caucus tomorrow night. The question of the creation of committees Is the most inn portant feature of the rules discussion.
 It has been evident for some time that Representative Champ Clark, the pros- pective speaker, Is of the opinion that he will but serve his partys interest by renouncing his right to appoint the committee and he may make declara- tion to that effect tomorrow.
 There is little consensus of opinion over what method which will eventually be adopted for naming committees. One suggestion is that the democratic caucus of the Sixty-second Congress to name a nominating committee which will frame the House committees for the approval or rejection of the caucus and then a ratification by the House itself of the caucus action.
 Another suggestion Is that one of the regular House committees, such as ways and means, or rules, some committee that would. owing to its importance, naturally be supposed to include in it's member ship the strongest material available, name the remaining committees of the House.

.................................,

Washington, December 15.-(Special.) Two weeks ago Representative Under wood. prospective chairman of the ways and means committee. announced his belief in the wisdom of a revision of the tariff by separate schedules. It is a. rather late day for Messrs. Aldrich and Cummins to follow along. One of the political marvels of the day to older men in Congress is the equanimity with which the most ferocious 'standpat- ters" of other days receive the sug- gestion for the proposed revision of the tariff subject by subject.
 Time was when that proposition was met with hoots and jeers and when the mere preaching of the subject to a high protectionist was likely to throw him into fit on the floor.
 Everybody recalls the derision which met William R. Springer of Illinois when he introduced his bills for the revision of the tariff by schedules "Popgun tariff bills" they called MT Springer's tariff measures. They laughed him out of court and his bills died a-borntng.

MRS. MORSE MAKES
 REMARKABLE PLEA

Washington, December 15.-Charles W. Morses petition for pardon has been formally presented to the depart ment of justice. One section of the plea of the convicted New York banker came in a large express package and was signed with the names of thousands of persons of prominence.
 Mrs. Morse has made another peti- tion for her husband and this has been presented to President Taft by Sem ator Hale. The President sent it at once to Attorney General Wickersham who turned 1t over to the attorney in charge of pardons. ss
 The routine investigation which fol- lows the application of a federal pris- oner for executive clemency will now begin. All the evidence in the case will be reviewed by Attorney General Wick ersham, who will then make his rec concentrations to President Taft. It may be weeks or months before Morse's pardon Is granted or denied.
 Mrs. Morse's personal petition came in the form of letter addressed to the President It was typewriter and covered about two pages of note paper. In 1t Mrs. Morse made simple, bus iness-like plea for the release of her husband, calling the Presidents at tention to what she said was an '1ni- mense popular interest" in the case. She declared that the general sentiment of the many thousands of people who had signed her petition was the sentence imposed upon her husband was "out- ra geous;" that he had no intention of wronging the National Bank of North America: that no depositor had lost d dollar and that at most he had only been found guilty of technical vio- lation of the national bank laws. Her letter Is generally conceded to be one of the most remarkable of its kind ever received at the department Approximately 50,O00 names are signed to the petition.
