BOARD OE EDUCATION MAY RE-HASH SECRET
 SOCIETIES TONIGHT

There is to be hearing Of the Board of Education this evening, and it is probable that among other mat ters to be brought up, is the mat ter of the secret societies at the High school which have been abolished by the Board. It is stated on the out side, and among those pupils at the High school who have not had the so-calIed honor to be a member of a frat that there are open viola tions of the rules laid down by the Board, even though there is a severe penalty attached.
 A member of the Board when asked this afternoon if such matters were to be discussed at the meeting this evening stated that he had heard of none. He was surprised to know that the pupils had the audacity to dis obey the orders If they did dis obey, the fact had not as yet been brought before the commissioners. eff there are violations, he said, stthe resolutions will be enforced.''
 Perhaps there is a good reason for the open infractions going on at the High school. A member of one of the frats said that his society had never received notice from the Board of Education of their action that all they knew was what they had read in the newspapers. That official mo- tice they were still waiting for, even though the Board caused printed pamphlets of their resolutions to be passed among the pupils last week.

 HIS SEAT ON SUPREME BENCH
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, Oct. 1O-The supreme court of the United States, presided ever temporarily by John M Harlan as senior associate justice, opened the October term today and prepared for what is likely to go down in history as one of the most important years in the record of that judicial body.
 Charles Evans Hughes took the oath of office and was seated at the extreme right of the bench in the place customarily occupied by the last commissioned of the justices When this impressive ceremony was completed, the court heard motions. Justice Harlan thereupon announced the death of Chief Justice Fuller dur ing the recess and the court adjourn ed out of respect to his memory. The usual practice of adjourning to call upon the President was dispensed with as President Taft was not in the city. The real work of the court will begin tomorrow when eases will be heard.
