Considering the fact that not all the

that some will have to be discarded, the
conclusion is that, according to the

 It was certainly a great Christmas in the Johnson family and among the black aristocracy of Chicago who called all day to present their re- spects to Johnson and to welcome him to Chicago.
 The greetings to the colored pugil- ist invariably took the form of Well, Jack, I sure hope yHu put that Mir. Jeffries away"

 Don't you let that Jeffries man worry you all. Next year this time he'll know where he gets off.

Jack Johnson's black nlammy moth CT, whose son as heavyweight pugilist of the world has gathered together so many shekels that it has fairly daz- ed her, was recently presented with an $11, ,000 home in Chicago and will spend her remaining years in luxury the like of which she has never dreamed could fall to her lot, that IS, unless Johnson lets go his grip upon the tidy fortune that he has acquired.
 On Sunday before Christmas the dusky plutocrat arrived at the new home to spend the holidays and this is what happened:
 Johnson drove up to his mothers home in his new $10,000 automobile. He got out of his machine and walked into the mahogany vestibule of his mothers 1000 home.
 He removed his silk-lined overcoat. x He stepped out into the living room and saw his son who was playing with a $10 toy automobile under beautl- \ fully decorated Christmas tree.
 He walked out into the kitchen, op- Nened the door of the new $150 range and took a sniff of the twenty-pound Turkey and the canvas back duck be- ling roasted for the great event.

spectacles for Soldiers.

In many cases the vision of third
class shots has been much improved
by the use of spectacles. In the First
Northamptonshire regiment third
class shot became a first-class shot. In
the First Queens man who just
missed being third-class shot be-
came first. In the First Oxfords one
failed and two third-class shots be-
came second class and one third class
became first. In the First Cameron
ians one improved from noneffective
to a second-class shot. In the First
Royal Scots fusiliers one third-class
shot became a second-class shot. These
results are due to action taken by the
medical authorities in 1907, when the
eyesight of several selected regiments
was carefully examined by army
medical specialists in ophthalmology.
recommendations based on these ex-
aminations were made, and the gov
ernment of India granted free issue
of suitable glasses to those men re-
quiring them.-Lancet.

DEFENDS OHIO SCHOOL HEADS
superIntendents Put Senator Yount
on Grill for Charges Against
Pedagoeues.

Dayton, O.-At the meeting of the
Western Ohio Superintendents' Round
Table held here last week, Senator
Yount, author of the Textbook Bill bear
ing his name and which is now under
consideration by the House of Repre-
sentatives, appeared on the scene. He
was at once recognized by Mr.. e. B. Cox,
Superintendent of the Xenia Schools,
and man Of prominence in school CIR
cles. Mr.. Cox called the attention Of
the meeting to the fact that Senator
Yount was present and said "this is
the man who stated before the Com.
mittee on Schools in the House Of
Representatives that 1879 Of the Su-
perintendents, teachers, and members
Of boards of education in Ohio were
under the domination of the Book
Trust, whatever that is"
Senator Yount Immediately arose
and demurred, stating that he thought
his position in this matter has been
misunderstood.
Il was present and heard you use
the language which l quoted" said
Supt. Cox, who then went on to say:
II do not impugn your motives In in
PRODUCING and supporting the measure
under consideration. assume that
you are honest and sincere in your
belief that this measure may be a
good thing for the school interests Of
Ohio. We do not propose to discuss
the question whether the superintend-
ents of schools, and the teachers, and
boards of education Of this State are
better qualified to express an opinion
on the merits of such a measure than
yourself, but do maintain that you
have no right to ascribe dishonest mo-
tives to the teaching body Of this
State. We have precisely the same
right to our judgment regarding the
practicability Of such measure that
any other citizens have, and the same
right to express our opinions freely,
without condemnation of our motives
In doing so, and resent on the behalf
of the educational body of this great
State the position in which you have
sought to place u.s."
Mr.. Cox is one of the older and bet
ter-known Superintendents of the
State, having been connected with
the public-school system for many
years. He is highly respected and
known to be independent and forcible
in the expression of his opinions. His
remarks were received with great en-.
thusiasm by the meeting, which
promptly and almost unanimously en-.
dorsed the position taken by the State
School Commissioner against the
Yount measure and State Uniformity
of School Books in general.

BOLD BANDITS ROB EXPRESS
CAR AND EVERY PASSENGER
ON TRAIN OF TEN
COACHES.
ALL THREE HEAVILY ARMED
After Completing Their Work the
hishwaymen Detaeh Engine, Run
It to Nearby Town, Where
They Leave It and Es-
cape in Launch.

Benecia, Cal.-Three masked men
held up overland train No. 10 on
the Southern Pacific between Be-
necia and Goodyear early in the morn
ing, robbed the express car and every
passenger on the train of ten coaches,
detached the engine, made their es-
cape on it to Sprigg, where they left
the engine and made their way aboard
steam launch, escaping in the dark
ness on Suisun bay. The robbed train
was left stalled on the track near
Goodyear, while the passengers, many
of whom had been held up while they
lay in their berths, dressed them
selves and made their way to this
city and Goodyear.
The holdup of the train was one
of the most daring and successful in
all annals of train robbery. 1t was
only by their quiet acquiescence to
the demands of the robbers, that some
of the passengers and train crew es-
capped with their lives. All three men
were heavily armed and threatened to
kill the first man or woman on the
train who offered resistance. AS soon
as the first news of the holdup
reached Benecia, which was within
15 minutes after it had been carried
out, telegraph messages were sent up
and down the line. Half a dozen
armed posses are in pursuit of the
daring highway men.
From the manner in which the
holdup was carried out there is no
doubt that it had been carefully
planned. The overland was travelling
fast on its way to Benecia when it
was tagged with light in the middle
of the track. AS soon as it came to a
standstill one of the masked leaped
onto the cab and covered the engi-
neer and fireman with a revolver, tell
ing them he would shoot If they made
a move. Before anyone on the train
had realized what was happening the
other two men made their way aboard
the first coach, the door of which had
been opened by conductor. Backing
the conductor into the smoking room
of the car and ordering him to keep
quiet the men made their way
through the cars.

TARIFF PLANT WILL
ENL|VEN PROCEEDINGS
HIS DESIRE TO ENLARGE SCOPE
OF COMMISSION TO COME
BEFORE CONGRESS.
FAVORABLE ACTION IN LOWER
BRANCH IS BECOMING
AoPARENT.

Washington, ID. Cone of the
liveliest skirmishes of tempestuous
session of congress Is still to come.
1t will develop when the plans are
laid to carry out President Taft's de-
sire to enlarge the scope of the tar
iff commission and provide the funds
with which to carry on that work.
When the tariff law was passed the
organization leaders refused a genu-
inc commission and clipped its wings
as closely as possible. Hale of Maine
has issued orders to the commission
and it has gone boldly across the line
marked by Senator Hale. The presi-
dent says 1t must go farther still. To
do so requires money. He has rec
commended an appropriation of $780,
600.
Indications looking to favorable ac-
ton in the house are becoming appar-
ent. Tawney, who holds the purse
strings in that body, is friendly
Payne, chairman of the committee
that constructs tariff bills in the
house, is saying nothing against the
presidents plan and organization
leaders generally are acquiescent. 1t
is in the senate that the row, under
the leadership of Aldrich, is antici-
pated
The insurgents have determined to
put Aldrich and his lieutenants on
record. Their opportunity will come
when the sundry civil appropriation
bill, carrying the $25000O asked for
by the president comes over from the
house. Then they will seek to further
amend by extending the scope of the
commission to make it an effective
agency in the gathering of informa-
tion and the preparation of material
to be transmitted to congress with
proper recommendation. If that is
done the day of Misrepresentation of
facts and juggling with figures rela-
tive to the tariff and conditions upon
which rates are based will be ended.

PITTSBURG IS SHOCKED AGAIN
Dsorderly Houses and Gambling Dens
Are Owned by Prominent Men,
Claims Real Estate Dealer.

Pittsburg, Pa.-That which prom
ises the crowning sensation in
the vice crusade at Pittsburg came
when it became known that Samuel
w. Black, the largest real estate
dealer in Pittsburg, has presented to
the Chamber of Commerce at Pitts
burg official complaint that many dis
orderly houses and gambling dens of
Pittsburg are owned by men high in
business, financial and political life.
Mr.. Black charges specifically that
two houses, 445 and 447 Third ave-
nue., now occupied by Chinese, are
and have been for some time Chinese
gambling houses.
He produced police records in sup
port of his assertion and declares
that these houses are owned "by
three most prominent and able attor-
neys, with national and international
regulations" and that "it is impossi-
BILE to cope with them successfully
in the courts" Records show that
the property in question is owned by
Hon. John Dalzell, member of con-
gress; Hon. David T. Watson and
George B. Gordon.
Il have repeatedly pleaded with
Messrs. Dalzell, Watson and Gordon
to do something with that property,
but they have declined" said Mr..
Black
George B. Gordon, speaking for Mr..
Dalzell and Mr.. Watson, as we'll as
for himself, said: 1--WE, own that
property to be sure. Yes, we have
been complained to and about by Mr..
Black. i believe Mr.. Black is excited
and has overdrawn matters. Yes,
believe we have property rented to
Cinnamon. 1t is rumored that these
people gamble some times, and it is
possible they may have been arrest
ed for gambling by the police, yet
we do not run disorderly houses"
