BOARD WILL WAGE
FRATERNITY FIGHT
President Bannerman Says 1t Is
War TO the KNIFE; All
Secret Societies Must Go

The problem of fraternities and so
rorities in San Francisco schools, flour
ishing contrary to the state law. came
Of education at its joint meeting with
representatives of the interfraternity
council yesterday afternoon.
BY d denunciatory resolution the ed
ucation board Will go on record at its
meeting today as determined to en-
ploy every means in its power to en-
force the anti-fraternity law and sweep
the societies from the schools.
In every respect the meeting yester-
day was in the nature of a truce. called
after months of skirmishng to decide
which way the inevitable battle will
wage. Attorney L. r. Weinmann, of
Weinmann, Wood & Cunha, which firm
represents the state organization of
fraternities, requested of the board
that the coming campaign be fought
with all friendliness. merely that the
constitutionality of the state law may
be tested.
SAYS WAR TO THE KNIFE
President Thomas r. Bannerman
speaking for his collea gues declared
that the war would be to the knife
Todays resolution will be followed by
UP the battle and the courts be called
upon to decide the victor
Under the provisions of the state law
any pupils in an elementary or sec
ondary school retaining membership in
or organizing a fraternity, sorority or
any other secret school organization
is subject to suspension or expulsion
by the school boards or by the prin-
cipals. and Attorney Weinmann re-
al ha ~
and that a test case thus be presented
for legal decision The fraternities be-
1ieved. Weinmann said that the state
law was unconstitutional and, .acting
on this belief, they were organizing
initiating members and carrying on
their society business just as if the
law did not exist
ASKS TEST CASE
IF you believed the tax law uncon-
stitutional." President Bannerman
asked. would you take action only by
telling the tax collector so?
Il q, nor believe Bannerman con
tinued. that it comports with the dig
nifty or this board to enter into such
an agreement to test the law"
Eve desire Weinmann a.-,.ined
that the matter should be brought to
a test. So far the board has instructed
principals to enforce the law prohibit
ing fraternities, and the principals have
endeavored to do this by denying some
school honors to members of fraterni-
ties or by other inadequate WAYS This
has not solved the problem by anv
means, but only driven the organiza
tions to meet and transact their busj-
ness secretly. test case will settle
the controversy for all time We be-
leve the law to be unconstitutional
The school authorities do not Let the
courts decide.
MANY PRINCIPALS PRESENT
Many of the school principals prom
inent in the skirmishing against the
fraternities and sororities of late were
present Yesterday among them being

they had shown courage and determine

DEN MARK.

The rigsdag convened a few days
ago.
J. c. Ferslew, leading pioneer in
the modern newspaper business in
Denmark, died at the age of "a years.
The population of Denmark was put
at 2,726,000, July 1. The increase for
the past year was $4,000, or about ia
per cent.
A company has been organized for
running airships at a resort in
Amager, near Copenhagen. There
will be space for the accommodation
of ten flying machines.
The government of the city of Cop.
enhagen has just published some in
teresting statistics on the income and
wealth of the people of the city dur
ing the decade 1S9s-1907. All incomes
ranging from $500 to $500 show a
very large increase, while incomes Of
$4,000 or more show a decided de-
crease. The incomes of the laborers
and the public officials show a sub.
stantial increase. The lawyers have
an average income of about $4,000,
the physicians an income of little
less than $4,000.
Copenhagen has had a smattering of
air flight excitement. Mr.. Thorup
started on his monoplane from
Amager early one morning. He rose
to height of ESQ feet, and when he
had circled the grounds four times
he started to cross the Oresund to
Sweden. Suddenly the machine
stopped and fell to the ground like a
stone. The machine was badly
smashed, but the aviator escaped TN
injured, as if by a miracle. He re-
ceived a few light scratches on his
right arm, that was all. Mr.. Thorup
claims that the accident was due to a
mechanical defect a in the elevation
rudder, which made the rudder break
It took only few days to repair the
damage.
