Will Become Commissioner
Of Education on and At
ter June I Next.
PUPILS OF SCHOOLS
OF the South Are to Receive
the Special Attention Of
Mr.. Thomas.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April s.
Parents and teachers in the south
.sern states viii be interested in the
fact that on June 1, James Shelby
Thomas, dean OF Virginia Christian
College OF Lynchburg, will 5ecor4e
commissioner of education for the
Southern Commercial Congress. His
work for the congress will carry him
into all states Of the South for the
PURPOSE OF bringing about a quicker
exchange among educators of edu-
eational ideas and OF school inn
provement suggestions. He will
also work out a plan for the South
ern Commercial Congress whereby
II can assist college and other stu
dents OF the South to secure or COM
plete their education along scien-
tific lines.
Mr.. Thomas is young man with.
an unusual educational record He
was born in saltville, Va, in 1880.
lie received his education IN public
schools, then prepared for college at
Tazewell. and the city high school
at Catlettsbarg. Ky. He took his
degree of master Of arts at M1Tiligan
college, Johnson City, Tenn, in.
1900. Immediately after graduation
he became an instructor in the same
college. In the years between 1900
and 1902. he took an active part in
improving Tennessee school condi-
ttons. In 1908. he moved to Lynch.
burg, Va, and was a founder of
Virginia Christian College. He was
one OF five men who borrowed 800
each to close an option for the col
iege property that is now worth
$250,OOO. In 1905, when the board
OF state school examiners of Vir-
ginia was organized, he became SD
and later was state supervisor Of
rural schools. During Mr.. Thomas's
tenure of this office, he raised by
private subscription nearly half a
million dollars to be used in the
erection of improved school bu>4l-
ings. In addition. he secured by his
direct efforts. an increase of school
tax in large number of Virginia
counties.
The educational purpose of the
congress is to work for the guidance
Of pupils in the common schools OF
the South. so as to prepare them for
useful careers. though unable to go
{ to high school or to college. II
also proposes that those taking edu~
cation above the public schools,
shall have their minds directed to-
wards technical studies, since the
approaching great &>y of the South
in agriculture, in manufacturing and
in general development will call for
thousands who are scientifically
trained. 1t also believes strongly
that the school growth and guild
ance of the South should be based
upon needs OF each community and
should not be artifcially forced by
those who do not know the educa'
tiouai problems the South faces.

STONE THROWING
BY SUFFRAGETTES
Parliament Stormed, but Po-
lice Repulse Women.

London. Nov. H.-The sufrragettes of
London made their promised assault on
Parliament tonight and were repulsed,
after they had done considerable damage
by stone throwing, by a large force of
police.
The suffragettes began assembling as
early as s o'clock, although the hour
for the demonstration had been set at
s o'clock by the leaders The crowd of
suffragettes and spectators assembled
to see the fun was of very large pro-
portions, and the police were busy try
ing to keep them within bounds. The
customary placards, borne by women,
were to be seen everywhere, and fire.
quent shouts of Down with manhood
Suffrage were heard. A few minutes
after o'clock there was a concerted
lament building, but the police were
ready and repulsed the women, who
fought vigorously and viciously.
The suffragettes, screaming, shouting
and struggling, were finally forced back
into the street by the police. They then
turned their attention to stoning Parlia~
ment and nearby buildings. Hundreds of
windows were broken, not alone in the
government offices, but in nearby resi-
dences. The situation grew so menacing
after the window smashing was begun
that the police reserves were called out,
and as they came dashing upon the
scenes in patrol wagons the crowd scat
tered and inside of half an hour had
dispersed.
The demonstration was planned against
the manhood suffrage bill, which is now
in a fair way of passing Parliament.

UNIQUE POINT RAISED.
Mcnamara Talesman Brings Up
Novel Question.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 2.-with two
challenges by the defense under advise
ment: with unique point Of law raised
by Attorney Davis under consideration;
with a ruling demanded by Attorney
barrow on another point also under ad-
visement, and with the open admission
of Capt. Fredericks that former Judge
Gray has been retained by the State, the
trial OF James B. Mcnamara to-day
passed the first day in two weeks during
which no prospective juror was selected.
The unique point raised by Davis was
brought TO the attention OF the court
late in the day, when the defense had
challenged A. J. Stevens, who said that
because of reading the Times he knew
of that papers prejudice against labor
unions and the unions prejudices against
the paper. He said because Of this. he
believed the building had been dyna-
mited by unionists or their sympathizers.
Davis argued that under the circum-
stances the knowledge that the tales
man had could not be considered to
have come through newspaper reports,
but was based on actual knowledge.
The court took the question under ad-
visement.

KELLOGG DURLAND
VICTIM OF CYANIDE
Magazine Writer'S Death Is
Surrounded by Mystery.

New York, Nov H.-The astonishing
news was telegraphed to New York late
to-day from Boston that Kellogg Durland
the magazine writer and social worker
had died in that city Saturday night
under suspicious and dramatic circum-
stances.
The police and hospital authorities OF
Boston suppressed the news of his death
until their investigation had revealed
that DurIand had been poisoned with
cyanide OF potassium. One of the
strangest features of the case is that
Mrs. Durland, who, as Genevieve Gre
Vile, is we'll known as an actress, writer.
and playwright. and who was supposed
to have sailed for Europe some ten days
after bringing suit for divorce, was with
her husband when he became i'll from
the effects OF the poison.
The first act of Mrs. Durland on Mon
day, before the death of her husband had
been announced and before the cause OF
death had been determined, was to file
with the office of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society, in Boston, her claim for
policy of $4,000 on the life Of Durland
made out in her favor.
Durland, when he went to Boston some
days ago, believed his wife to be in
Europe or on the ocean on her way there
How they met in Boston is not known.
However, they engaged a compartment
on the midnight train for New York Sat
urday and were in the compartment to-
gether while the train was still in South
Station, when Durland became suddenly
and violently ill.
Mrs. Durland called the porter and told
him to notify the police; also at the time
she said she had no idea OF the cause
of her husbands illness. Durland was
t. ffaI Tod
a few minutes after reaching the insti-
tuition.
His symptoms were those OF cyanide
of potassium poisoning, and the hospi-
tai authorities became suspicious. They
questioned Mrs. Durland, and she re-
called getting a drink of water for Mr..
Durland just before he became Ill, and
declared that he must have taken the
poison in the water.
Kellogg Durland was thirty years
old. He was born in New York, his IA
Their being J. II. Durland. He was grad
uated from Harvard in 1900 and took a
post graduate course at the University
of Edinburgh, 19OO-190l. and in the
Ecole des Hautes Etude Sociale, Paris,
in 1901-19O2. He worked as a coal
miner in Scotland for four months in
1901 to study mining conditions.
Mr.. Durland's advent in Washington
was his employment at high salary
by morning newspaper to do special
diplomatic work. During his stay in this
city he became we'll known through in
side stories" OF diplomacy that had MEM
bers OF the various legations constantly
visiting the Department of State.
ShortlY after his arrival, Mr.. Durland
left the newspaper and soon afterward
filed suit against the owner. charging
breach of contract and demanding s., 900
damages, besides a large item for ex-
penses. He declared that he had been
employed here at a high salary, and the
management of the paper had violated
its contract. This case was dismissed by
the court.

PLOT AGAINST GIRL
TOLD BY VICTIM
Tar Is Applied to School
Teacher by Neighbors.

Lincoln Center Kans, Nov. H.-Miss
Mary Chamberlain, the young school
teacher, to-day on the stand told of the
with tar Dressed in black and without
emotion, she related in detail events
leading up to the tar party" for which
Sheriff. Clark, a. n. Sims. and John
Schmidt are on trial. An attack upon
her character failed. the witness testify
ing that she rcpulsed all attempts at
familiarity.
After telling of her employment in a
store at Shady Bend. Miss Chamberlain
plunged into her story.
Did some one call you up on August
~ she was asked.
Yes; Ed Ricord," she replied.
What did he say
He jcked with me little, but then
said there was dance at Beverly, and
he wanted me to go with him. He said
We were invited, and l told him 1 would
60 He arrived at about $50 o'clock and
We started to Beverly
What did he say to you?'
He spoke about the people who were
to be at the dance"
What was his conduct toward you
His remarks were objeCtiona BILE"
What did you say"
Il told MIN II he was going to act that
way I wanted % go back home. We
talked a little and then we turned and
started back toward Shady Bend"
What happened at the top Of the hill
on the way back to town and a short
distance from where YOU turned around? -
Five masked men took me from the
buggy. Three of them carried me around
behind the buggy, threw me down, raised
my clothing, and smeared tar over my
limbs"
Did YOU recognize any of them?"
Not then"
Later. she said. while being driven back
home by Ed Ricord. they passed three
men in the road. These men she recog-
nized as Sims, John Schmidt, and Jim
Booze.
A murmur OF indignation and disgust
went through the court room when a
new feature of the attack on Miss Cham
berlain was revealed in the testimony OF
Edward Ricord, who lured her to the
scene of the tar party"
Prodded by sharp questioning, Ricord
made known a part of the plot against
the young woman that had not before be-
come public. He said that the scheme
Of the conspirators was for him to get
Miss Chamberlain out on the lonely
country road and commit an assault on
her close to the place where the masked
gang was concealed. The members Of
the party were TO be witnesses of the
assault and were then to disclose them
selves and apply a coat of tar to her as
a punishment. None of this tar, OF
course, was to be applied to Ricord.
Ricord testified that Miss Chamberlain
resisted his advances so vigorously that
he was unable to carry out his part of
the programme. However, that was not
allowed to interfere with the tar party.
On redirect examination Ricord testi-
fled that he made two attempts to as
sault Miss Chamberlain while they were
in the buggy, but was unsuccessful.
"She would not stand for me putting
my arms around her and said she wanted
me to turn around and go home" he
said.

REBELS COMMENCE
ATTACK ON NANKIN
Requirements Come and a
Fierce Battle Is Waging.

Tientsin, Nov. 1.-THE long expected at
tack on Nankin has begun. Adices re-
ceived here to-day show that the rebels
inaugurated a vigorous assault at day
light to-day. Requirements for ths
lrevolutionists are arriving almost hourly.
Pekin, Nov. 1.-THE reports OF a mas
sacre at Sian Flu, in Shensi province, were
confirmed to-day upon the arrival here
Of several Swedish missionaries. The
victims of the rebels, the missionaries
say, were Mrs. E. r. Beckmann, a school
teacher; five foreign children, a German
in the Chinese mail service, and a num-
Der of Chinese girls who attended Mrs.
Beckmanns school.
The Chinese girls were killed, the mis-
sionaries say, because their feet were un-
bandaged and they were taken for Man
chu girls. The missionaries in Sian Flu.
1t appears, had persuaded the girls to
remove the foot bandages.
The names of the Swedish missionaries
are Erickson ana DandDerg. They say
the magistrates Of the town offered them
800 each If they would leave the city
at once, and they accepted the offer.
Their party was attacked and robbed
after they had left the city. and their
money taken from them. One Of the
party was severely wounded by a high
wayman after they had fled Honan prov
ince.
They make the assertion that ShensI
province is strongly anti-foreign, and
that the foreigners there are in much
danger. They say that without a strong
invading force nothing can be done in
the way of protection, as the province
is practically out of reach of the gun
boats on the Yangtze River.
The national assembly at a session
to-day abolished queues and established
the Western calendar year beginning
with 1912. These two changes are re-
markable. and do away with customs
that have existed for centuries.
The situation at Hankow IS obscure.
Telegraphic communication has been
interrupted for two DAYS
