HORTICULTURE IN GRADED SCHOOLS
State Authorities Considering Establish
ment of New Course

Owing to the success that has fol-
lowed the introduction Of horticultural
courses in the high schools of the state
the school authorities now intend to
make such studies part of the cunicu-
lum of the grade schools.
Prominent teachers all over the state
have been requested by State SupeTin-
tendent of Instruction H. B. Dewey to
give him their opinion on the subject.
There is no question but that all of
the teachers, practically, will warmly
endorse the proposition.
At the last meeting Of the state
board at Olympia it was determined to
give to eighth grade scholars course
in horticulture, agriculture or forestry,
the selection of the particular study to
be made by each county board of edu
cation.
The board also decided to teach the
manual arts in the eighth grade, giving
one hour each week to manual train
ing and domestic science, and the
manual arts will also be introduced
into the other grades wherever found
practicable. The tendency of the
board leaned toward the relief Of the
strain in the upper grammar grades in
introducing the manual arts, which will
take the place of arithmetic, for one
day each week.
Hygiene is to be taught one day
each week up to the eighth grade, and
above it is to be given two days in
each week.
Nature study will be taught in the
first and second grades and home
geography in the third grade.
The continuation of instructions in
writing, with special reference to move
ment exercise, was favored through the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
The state board of education will
meet in Spokane this month to consider
changes in the courses of study in the
high schools of Washington.

fight will be between Congressman

mainder of the day was spent in his
cell. No visitors were allowed to see
him and today he resumed his work

Paris, July lS.-M. Lepine, project of

the police of France to watch for and
arrest upon discovery DR.. Hawley H.
Crippen, the American who is wanted
in London on the charge of having
slain his wife, known in the threatri-
cal world as Belle Elmore.
The police here believe that Crippen
is masquerading as a woman and the
descriptions sent out include this prob
able disguise.
The authorities of Dieppe, Calais,
Cherbourg and other coast towns have
been warned especially to be on the
alert. If Crippen is not already here
it is likely he will take advantage of
the first opportunity to enter port on
the continent.
The police are also learning of the
suspects visit here in recent years and

companion Ethel Clara Leneve, who
was employed by him as stenograph-
er and later. according to the British
police, supplanted Mrs. Crippen in the
affections of the husband.

Postal Savings Banks Will Not Be
Started for Several Months.

Washington, July 1S.-Several
months will be required to make pre-
parations for establishing postal saw
ings banks, according to the opinion
expressed by Postmaster General
Hitchcock before leaving the United
States recently for a brief vacation
abroad.
The desire of President Taft to have
the system operated in part as soon as
possible by the establishment of some
10 to 20 experimental postal banks
probably will hasten the work of open
ing them for business.
The trustees of the postal savings
bank system will hold meeting short
ly after Mr., Hitchcock returns to this
city, when it is expected both Secre
tary MacVeigh Of the treasury depart
ment and Attorney General Wicker

More Excitement
In Cotton Market.

New York. July ls.-There was
renewal of the intense excitement NOT.
ed in the cotton market toward the
close of last week at the re-opeuino
this morning. The demand for Ju,v
seemed to be much less active s,g.
costing that sufficient cotton had been
secured in the South or abroad to SAT-
isfy such contracts as remained ont.
standing. but that position made a
new high record for the season. selling
at 1856, while there was sensational
demand for August and September
with these deliveries selling anywhere
from "a to 36 points over the closing
figures of Saturday.
The excitement was not entirely con-
fined to the near positions for owing to
the bullish character Of many private
crop advices and rather unsatisfactory
weather over Sunday there seemed to
be a scarcity of foreign shorts in the
new crop months and with broaden
ing of investment demand also IN ev-
idence these deliveries sold about Is
to q points net high, without how
ever, reaching the record of earlier in
the season.
Cotton appears to be coming here from
all directions and it is said that South
ern shippers can even pay all rail freights
and send cotton here at profit as com.
pared with spot quotations in the South
But while shippers may be able to ship
here profitably, the original short interest
in the near months must be taken in
enormous losses while there can be little
doubt that the bulls are securing biz
profits from the sale of contracts.
Including the cotton from Liverpool,
over 23,O00 bales were reported as arriy-
ing in New York today, but while July
shorts seemed to be relieved by these and
other shipments pending the late posi-
lions continued very firm with August
