confession Of Joseph Abbott before the
Marin county grand jury on Wednes-
day
Enraged at Mayor McCarthy's order
virtually suspending him from the DO
lice commission, Flannery made YER
bal attack upon the mayor, denounc-
ing him as a coward and threatening
disclosures which, he hinted, would
throw an entirely new light upon the
case in which his name has been in
volved and would blast others with
the stigma of accusation.
Mayor Mccarthy remained yester-
day in the attitude which he assumed
Wednesday night, when he practically
suspended Flannery from his public
position. He declared that a thorough
investigation would be carried out, but
refused to discuss the attack made
upon him by. Flannery.
Fight for Control
Behind the whole situation which
resulted in the exposures of the last
two days looms the history of the fight
between Flannery on the one hand
and Chief Of Police Martin, backed by
Frank Murphy and his element, on the
other, for the control of the police de-
partment.
The trial OF Frank McSherry, Abb
.bots's cQdefendant, was continued yes
terday in San Rafael. but the jury was
not completed. The grand jury of

those whom he termed his political
enemies to prove him guilty Of wrong
doing.
The testimony Of Abbott before the
Marin county grand jury Wednesday
was Of much less importance to Flan-
merry than the action taken by the
mavor. He threatened that within "A

municipal government and the city at

highly interesting" His resentment
was keen and he served notice that as

A White Lobster.

From the London Globe.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. X. Blake
Of Nentnor, Isle of Wight, We are enabled
To inform our readers that the white lob
ster, an account of which appeared III the
Globe on the I'd instant, has not been
cooked and eaten, as was feared, but is
in safe keeping.
Mr.. Blake writes: "As regards the
white lobster mentioned by Mr.. Aitkin
it was quite right as to 1t being white,
but it was red underneath-a most won
derfui thing for we have not heard OF
another ever being seen. l might men

Farm and School to Divide Time.

The speaker advocated that farm boys
and girls during their teens spend six
months in school and six at home on the
farm each year
Under this plan he said, 1.-The con-
solidated rural school VIII have a full
attenda nee during the six winter months.
The children III the first six or eight
grades would start earlier in the au-
tuUn and remain in school later in the
spring. Under this plan the pupils who
are old enough to help on the farm not
only would assist in solving the labor
problem, but during their years Of youth,
when they can learn rapidly, would gain
the knowledge and the habits of the
farmer and the farm homemaker They
would require one, two or possibly three
years longer to finish their high school
course.
The last two or three winters they
could spend in an agricultural high
school. such as that here AT crookstOn.
And along with their schooling they will
have served d thoroughgoing vocational
apprentice They would be Far more
thoroughly educated than those youths
VINO now go to school almost continuously
untl. they are through the high school
course.
Il wish to express my gratitude said
NJ. HAYS. III closing, that Minnesota is
nor adopting the narrower plan of one
couEty agricultural high school in each
county. with only the one-room district
schools for the education of the great
bulk of those who are TO manage our
farms and farm homes.

bachelor cowboy dwelling was usually a
dusout or a tent. containing but two
rooms a bedroom, the other a
kitchen. Now it's comfortable house
with a wife to keep it clean. The aver
age ranchman's home today has paper on
the walls, well kept beds. chairs instead
of coap boxes, often piano, and nearly
always lots of books and other comforts.
The passing Of the cowgirl Is indeed at
hand. The gradually retreating frontier
life" is driving out of existence this ro-
mantle figure. Before long We will have
to be content with descriptions of her as
given by the travelling exhibitions that
depict early western life and customs
Like the cowboy and the Indian she is
fading into the past.
Five young women, now filling profess
SiOnal engagements with exhibitors that
describe the life of the cowgirl of the past
are Eileen Anderson. Pearl King, Alice
Lee. Hazel Moran and Lulu Parr. All of
these girls are crack shots and have given
evidence of their prowess in all the civil
lied countries Of the earth. Miss Parr
has a bulldog presented to her by King
George when he was Prince of Wales.

strength of character. which is absurd
