PERIL IN ELEVATORS IS
CAUSED BY PARIS STRIKE
People Are Warned to Keep Out oi
Lifts While Labor Dispute Is
In Progress

PARIS, April I'm. Pataud, the
secretary of the Electric Light Work
ers' union, is once more busy promot-
ing Industrial strife. Acting on his
advice, the employees of the various
elevator or lift factories in and around
Paris have ceased work. The men
met at the Bourse du Travail, and
presented their demands to the en-
blowers in the shape of an ultimatum.
Increased pay or no work." said they,
IN effect. OF the firms affected, one
alone. a German house, agreed TO ac-
cent the mans conditions.
The whole of the hands have been
called out from the other houses, and
in its manifesto to the public the strike
committee makes this threat "Bour-
eeois. If you have any regard for your
kin. do not enter lifts while the pre-
sent dispute Is in progress" To ap-
preciate the full significance of the re-
mark it must be explained that the
elevators at the principal hotels in
the city are examined weekly by an
employee of the firm that constructed
them. The strikers or their emissar-
les have it in their power to injure the
mechanism of the lift and bring about
serious accidents.

SACRAMENTO, April 1.-THE fol-
lowing note was found in the pocket or
an oVercoat which was found on the
engine No. 10, where it is supposed to
have been left by the bandits:
"Pete-You Will find map; study 1t

Tho detectives on the case are in
doubt as to whether the mote was in

on clews suggested by it. however. in
Sacramento.
After the engine of No. 10 had been
abandoned by the bandits and started
on its wild career, Switch Engine Fore
man Wells prevented it's collision with
the second section of No. by opening
a switch at the Tolenas siding, the en-
gine coming to a stop in collision
with string of empty box cars on
the siding.

ENGLISH EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM IS CRITICISED
German Draws Comparison in a
Treatise TO Be Published

BERLIN, April 17.-Prof. Rogozinski
of Culm. a German educational expert
who was formerly lecturer at the Uni
versity of Liverpool, is about to pub
lish long treatise dealing with the
differences between the British and the
German educational systems. His con-
clusions, based on an intimate knowl-
edge of English schools OF all kinds,
may be summarized as follows:
English schools and educational
methods are in every respect inferior to
German schools and educational meth
ods,
The organization OF English schools
is lacking in uniformity.
English teachers, to whom is en-
trusted the education of the young, are
wanting in thorough scientific peda-
gogic training.
The consequence of these defects is
that English children cannot be edu-
Gated with the necessary thoroughness.
Premature specialization and the eX-
aggerated system of value attached to
examination, as we'll as the one-sided
devotion to sport, tend to diminish the
value Of the English educational sys-
tenn.
Prof Rogozinslxl declares that young
English men and women, when finish
ing their education in school, have not
received the education and training
necessary to citizens of civilized ma
tion. He also declares that the exist
ence of different classes among the peo-
ple is repulsive to German feeling.

End of Session
LAUDS ENGLISH STATESMAN
.csnee!al cable to The Herald,

PRETORIA, April 17.-The annual
Congress of Het Volk provided Gen.
eral Botha with an occasion of making
his long expected staten It on the po-
litical situation. He began by paying
a tribute to the work Of his party since
its formation seven years ago, and
claimed that its moderation and JUS
tice were responsible for the good
spirit prevailing in the country today
He paid tribute also to the wisdom
of the imperial government, especially
of our dear friend, Sir Henry Camp
bell Zimmerman" In Fastening the
grant of self-goYernment to the new
colonies and thus assisting the work
of the union. The union of South
of the Eet Volk program. No colony
had sacrificed more to this cause than
the Transvaal had. but the sacrifices
would be doubly repaid.
Turning to the future. General Botha
said he hoped South Africans would
make good use of their great oppor-
trnity. The racial question was now
buried; let them not disturb the ashes
of the past. Never let us be wreck
ers; let US always be builders" The
peoples must be united as well as the
colonies. Moreover. the bonds must be
strengthened between South Africa and
the British empire, the protection OF
which was necessary to this young ma
ton.
Continuing, General Botha warned
his hearers against localism in the
forth coming union parliament. He ad-
vised them to reorganize the party on
the Droadest possible basis. so that
every one living in South Africa, what
ever his nationality. could become a
member. He concluded as follows:
1.-THE wise policy you have pursued
in the past has been a great success.
Let us continue with 1t. Let us grip
each others hand and assist to rule
South Africa in the same way as the
Transvaal is ruled at present. Then
we Jhall see content and happiness in
the country"
The speech was received with great
applause by the congress, but its
vagueuess probably viii prove a dis
appointment to those who have hoped
against hope that General Botha would
take this opportunity of announcing
his adherence TO the scheme of a non
party government on which he and DR..
Jameson were understood to have
found themselves in personal agree
ment at Cape Town.

DISCUSSES GRAND
OPERA IN LONDON
Beecham Expresses Views on the
Music from National View

LONDON, April E.-When Mr.
Beecham's season of opera at Covent
Garden closed recently he was asked
whether he was satisfied that there
was a public for opera in London out
side the grand season.
Undoubtedly there is a public" he
replied. 'T have never questioned that
fact myself. If 1 had 1 should not
have started the season, and 1 should
not have arranged summer season
at His Majesty's theater and another
season of three months at Covent Gar
den in the autumn. Undoubtedly there
is a field for opera. Why should there
not be? London has thirty or forty
theaters which during the greater part
of the year are very we'll filled, and
IL people will go to see melodrama,
pantomime and musical comedy, there
is no reason why they should not go
to see opera, which Is not an inferior
entertainment. l believe. Indeed, 1t is
very highly organized and is under
stood to be rather fine art"
HAS the season led us any nearer" !"
MIR. Beecham was asked Ito that
scheme for a permanent national opera
house, of which so much was seard
some time ago?"
"I am glad" he said, "you have asked
me that, because the whole idea OF
a national opera house is preposterous,
futile and idiotic. What does every
one mean by it? An opera house run
by some indefinite body called the
state and supported by the state? Can
you see.<the state supporting an En-
glish oDeratic institution, and can you
see the ratepayer contributing to 1t?
No, I absolutely believe in the individ-
ual; and opera should be interna-
tional.
but where I differ very much from
some of my predecessors is in the be-
lief that the services of very large
number Of English artists of as great
ability as many on the continent, and
possessing, for the most part, superior
voices, can be utilized, and that GER
tain number of native composers can
be encouraged to write fine opera. And
why not? 1t has been in the past a
too one side affair altogether. Opera
In this country has been all Italian
and German. There has been nothing
English about 1t. And yet we have, as
1 have said, excellent singers, who, If
they want to get on, have to go abroad
to make a success"
Mr.. Beecham is anxious to give
Richard Strauss "Salome," but the au-
thorities still forbid it's production.

BAY CITY URGED As
EXPOSITION CHOICE

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Tremen-
dous pressure is being brought to bear
on President Taft to take some part
in deciding the plans of rival cities for
the honor of holding an exposition in
1915 in commemoration of the compile
tion of tho Panama canal
During the latter part of next week
he will receive Governor Gillett of CAL
ifornia and large delegation of San
Franciscans, to urge the selection of
the Golden Gate city. New Orleans
and San Diego citizens have been here
already, and Washingtonians are
shouting their bids on every occasion.
The confidence of the delegations
the canal will be finished in 1915 and
the government will take part in the
celebration lis sublime. All the cities
named apparently are going ahead
with their plans for that date without
thought of what will happen if the
canal is not finished then.
Thus far the president has given
nothing, but kind words to the eXposi-
tion boomers.
1t is not impossible decisions may be
handed down in the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco company cases to-
morrow.

SUFFRAG|STs TOLD THEY
ARE LACKING COURAGE
Laura Clay, in Addressing Mass
Meeting, Declares New Char
aCter Element Needed

WASHINGTON, April 17.-With only
one man on the program, and he to
offer prayer, Ave prominent women ad-
dressed a mass meeting Of suffragists
this afternoon.
1t was a gathering incident to the
annual convention of the National
American Woman Suffragist associa-
tion.
Rabbi Raymond Simon offered prayer
at the beginning of the meeting, az
| which Rev. Anna II. Shaw presided
Laura Clay of Kentucky told the
women what they NEEDED was new
| element Of character-courage. e,
Harriet May Wills of New York told
of troubles of the suffragists in the
New York legislature.
Beatrice Forbes Robertson, British
suffragist, and Ella S. Stewart of Chi
cago, gave a classification OF the op-
ponents of woman suffrage.
While others spoke, Charlotte Per-
kins Gilman wrote poetry in behalf OF
the cause and then read 1t with the
explanation she meant not TO renect
on those who had preceded her, but
intended none should go away and say
they had heard nothing new on the
subject.
The British and American classifica-
ton of opponents of suffrage were rad
ically different.
According to the British speaker they
were really divided into two classes
those who are prejudiced and those
who believe it inexpedient to give votes
to women.
The American classification put the
opponents into three classes, designat-
ed as the ghosts, owls or hooters, and
the complacent sinners. Among the
ghosts, according to the speaker, were
the "ghost only bad women would
vote ;, the one that "the women would
deprive the men of their darling vice"
that the women would do nothing but
VOTE and that "they would not vote
at ALL"
The association will elect officers to-
morrow.

PARIS, April IA Paris news
paper claims for a magistrate who has
just died in the provinces that he was
the fattest and heaviest man in the
world. Be this as it may, it states
that he weighed 567 pounds, that he
was so stout that he could neither
walk or get into carriage. and that
he proceeded to and from his office
in a two-wheeled car, which was low
cred with the shafts in the air, so as
to enable him to place his back on the
floor and to be raised after desperate
exertion.
strong horse was then harnessed
to the car. and so the magistrate made
the little journeys in a recumbent
posture. 1t is added that a window
had to be demolished to get the coffin
out of the house for the funeral. and
that as no hearse could have met the
emergency a huge and very solid cart
had to be used to take it to the church
and the cemetery.
