SHE DID NOT FIGHT BACK.
Mrs. Pribble says She Did Not Strike
Mrs. Maxwell.

Mrs. E.udorl Pribble, who Monday
had Mrs. Addie Maxwell, her tenant,
arrested for assault and battery, states
today that the report of a fight be-
tween the two was false and that she
did not strike.
Il went to my house at Alb West
Seventh at 1915 O'Clock Monday MORN
ing. Mrs. Maxwell was supposed to be
out by o'clock as she had been paid 50
by another renter to vacate at that
hour and had turned the keys over 1T
o'clock. The new renters had tele-
phoned me about the papering and 1
had gone down to see what was needed.
81 was standing in the dining room
looking at the ceiling when Mrs. Max
well rushed down from upstairs with
her arms thrust out. She grabbed me
and hit me in the face and pushed me
out of the room. You get out of here
This is my house. You have no right
in here, not even TO look around AS
for me I never did strike her.
Il always have had trouble with TINS
renter. Seven months ago, gave her a
three days notice to vacate but Law
Yer Waters came out and pleaded with
me to allow her to remain and asked
for year lease. I granted this When
it expired March 1, I asked her to sign
another and she refused. Johnnie Wa
tiers came out and persuaded me to al
low her to stay without lease L
agreed to this, too. Then she sold her
tenantship and 1 went down to make
what repairs the new people wanted.

CONSOLIDATION or SCHOOLS.
Changes Made by State Legislature
Being Sent Out.

The 1911 legislature made some i'm
portant amendments to the laws relat-
ing to the consolidation of school dis
tricts. so that graded schools may be
established in the country districts E.
T. Fairchild, state superintend ent, is
sending to all the county superinten-
dents the following bulletin explaining
the provisions of the new law:
Il desire to call your attention to
the provisions of the law passed at the
last session of the legislature relative
to the consolidation of schools. The
law has several feature that are an
improvement over the original law.
The petition for consolidation will
require 25 per cent of the voters of the
school district. but the proposition re-
quires majority of those voting upon
it instead of a majority of all the vot-
ers in the district. The proposition
may be submitted in such a way that
it will go into effect if it carries in two
or more of the districts voting. In
consolidated districts it is made man
datory on the part of the district
board to provide for the comfortable
transportation of the pupils living two
or more miles from school by the usu-
ally Travelled road. in safe and COM
Portable conveyances.
'Any district may be consolidated
with a district containing a graded
school by such district voting to be an
nexed to the graded school district and
by the district board of the district
containing the graded school approx
ing of such annexation. This provi-
sion will be found very convenient, as
districts containing graded schools are
in practically every case very glad to
admit other school districts Unfor-
tunately, the law does not go into eff
feet until it's publication in the statute
book, which will probably not be be-
fore sometime in May or possibly as
late as June first.
lowing to the much better eondi-
tions under which consolidation may
hereafter be effected, it will be very
desirable for a new impetus to be
given consolidation this spring. The
election could be postponed until the
new law goes into effect, if necessary

PROVISIONS DECLINE.

Chicago, March 30.-WHEAT-Effort at
covering by shorts of the larger kind led
to recovery today in the price of wheat.
Cables did not fully reflect yesterday s
decline here. Some attention was given
to report that green bugs were threat
ening crops in southern Oklahoma and
north Texas. Opening prices were Ac
higher to 1Ac Off May started at Sc cents
to S614Q5S63s cents and rose to S61h cents.
Professional spectators were inclined
to the bull side because of the market
having been a long decline. News of dust
storms southwest helped to further
gain. The close was steady with May so
&c up at $3.50.
CORN-Absence of pressure let corn
ascend with wheat, but demand was not
large. May opened unchanged to C UP
at 471ac to 1850 and rose to FLAG.
ScantineSs of sales by the country aided
in maintaining the advance. The close,
however, was easy with May at 47%c, a
net gain of Nc.
OATS-Commission houses afforded sup
port for oats. May started shade to &c

lied to 30ssc.

FOR PIRATING PLAYS.
Chicago Manuscript Company Raided
by Federal Officers.

Chicago, March S0-Federal secret
service men raided the Offices of the
Chicago Manuscript company in La
Sale street, charging the concern with
pirating copyright theatrical produc-
tions. Eight girls-stenograp pliers
working in the offices were subpoenaed,
each with the manuscripts on which
they were working.
Warrants were issued FOR Alexander
Boyer. who is said to be the owner of
the company, and for his wife, Mrs.
Anna Boyer.
The raid followed complaint by Attor-
ney Lignon Johnson, of New York
counsel for the National Association of
Theatrical producers who charges that
the Chicago company would send it's
stenographers to plays, have them take
down the dialogue in shorthand and
note the stage direction and that cop
les of this manuscript would be sold
far below the royalty price.

Sugar Cane and Bamboo Fibre Pro-
duce Excellent Paper.

Washington, March 3o.-Another
substance from which paper may be
manufactured has been discovered by
a manager of a sugar estate at Trini-
dad, according to Consul Franklin d.
Hale at that place. The new substance
is ground sugar cane, to which is add
ed bamboo fibre. The combination of
these two. the discoverer believes, pro-
duces a cheap and excellent paper. He
has made paper by this process with
out the aid of chemicals
The quality of the paper, according
