Bartlett's VaIedictory.
The Objectionable v~aledictory was
submitted for inspection to a reportet
today and was quite at variance with
the papers usually given by school chill
dren. Bartlett, in the address. thanked
the instructors for guiding the steps
of the children and acknowledged try

in the audience. He did not know how
to do the v%aledictory plan, he sail,
without anaesthetics, but promised to
be as painless as he could.

Just at present they are making I

The reason is not apparent why this
beautiful month of June should be
thus sullied with these immolations,

In this connection l could not help
thinking with deep sympathy during
these past weeks of a certain promi-

While we are saying farewell to each

might bid eternal goodby to this
hoary custom of commencement with
all its attendant horrors.
"These are days of reform; why not
reform commencement? Already we've
taken one step in the right direction by
enlisting the talents of Judge Jones,
who knows something worth saying,
and said it. If we can pull a tooth

SAYS ROOSEVELT
KNEW INSIDE OF
LOR|MER'S CASE
Editor Testifes That He Told
ex-President of Conditions
Last Fall.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-That for
mer President Theodore Roosevelt has
known since early last fall the entire
story of how Edward Hines is alleged
to have asked Clarence S. Funk, gem
eral manager of the international Har-
vester Company, for a $4,000 contribu-
tion to a $780, coo fund used to put
Lorimer across at Springfield. was
testified to today before the Senate
committee by Herman H. Kohlsaat,
publisher of the Chicago Record
Herald.
Mr.. Kohlsaat said he told the story
to Colonel Roosevelt just before the
Hamilton Club dinner at Chicago which
Roosevelt refused to attend until Lori
mer's invitation was withdrawn. 1t
was upon this Information, Mr.. Kohl
saat said, that the former Presideil
based his action in declining to sit at
the same table with the Illinois sena'
tor.
Mr.. Kohlsaat further testified that
he had written an account of the con-
versation between himself and Funk
but without mentioning Funk's name,
to Senators La Toilette and Root. This
was done at the request of Walter l.
Fisher. now secretary of the interior
and others.
The witness explained that he hed
given his word to Mr.. Funk that he
would not reveal his name, but he con-
sidered that he was free to tell the
story. In answer to questions as to
why he did not give the story to MEM
hers of the committee, without the
name. Mr.. Kohlsaat said, referring to
his experience before the Helm com
mittee, that the only time he had ever
done such a thing they threatened to
send him to Jail If he did not give the
name.
Mr.. Kohlsaat said that besides
| Colonel Roosevelt, he had only d.
vulged Mr.. Funk's name in connection
with the conversation to Victor #.
Lawson, owner of the Record-Herald,
and to Mrs. Kohlsaat.
The scope of the Lorlmer investiga-
ton was materially widened today
when the Senate investigating com
mittee decided to allow Lorimer's
counsel to question the motives which
might have prompted any official OF
the international Harvester Company
to oppose Lorimer's political advance
ment. This gave Lorimer's counsel the
latitude they desired in attacking the
statement cf General Manager Clarence
s. Funk, of the international Har-
vester Company, that Edward Hines
of Chicago. had asked that company
to contribute $4,000 on account OF
Lorimer's election expenses.

mencement is not yet an established
institution, so you politely listen to me
while bore you. Neither Of us wishes
to; it's customary, that's all. But do
not be without hope; perhaps the class

The trouble, friends Of the punished
lads say, dates back from the time,
last winter, when the criticism of the
school authorities and the %lampooning
of own officials when the committee
on advertising for a school program
was told to reject advertisements beer
sellers had offered. The publication Of
the programs caused no end of com
ment and when the fippancy again APP
peared in the paper of Bartlett and
likewise in a measure in Williams's es-
say, the drastic punishment was de-
cided upon.
The two pupils, while possessing tick
cts for the commencement exercises
and the dance which followed, did not
put in an appearance last night. Su-
p-erintendent Sherman, who was at the
dance, was asked by a reporter for
the STAR If the boys had passed their
examinations. He admitted they had.
but when questioned as to reasons for
Withholding their sheepskins. remarked
Il am not talking about the matter"
He said Bartlett and Williams both had
tickets for places in the audience.
The discipline of the boys was one Of
the chief topics among the group Of
dancers who enjoyed the social feature

Board Hns Secret Session.
The alleged INSTRUMENTATION was the
topic for a secret session Of the Board
Of Education on Monday last. The lads
we're not summoned and it was de-
cided to hold back their diplomas for
a year and not permit them to sit on
the stage with the other graduates.
Both were in the official photograph of
the class taken. but their names. did
not appear on the programs last night.
The start of the trouble over the grad
uation followed the requests of the lads
to beg off from delivering the talks,
as they were busy preparing for en-
trance to other institutions Of instruc-
ton in the fall. When the essays were
insisted upon they set to work and
submitted several papers, none of
which was satisfactory. The lads in
formed the faculty to take what was
submitted or prepare papers for the
youths.
There was no mention Of the un-
pleasantness at the formal program in
the CASTOR Street School auditorium
last night.
Twelve members of the class received
diplomas and were given advice on
their future problems by Benjamin F.
Jones. of South Orange, recently judge
of the Orange District Court. There
were floral bouquets for the young
women and a big CROWD enjoyed the
program and many stayed for the

Burn the Weeds, Leaves and Trash.

The city has a man at work burn
ing the weeds and leaves in the streets
and alleys. 1t is good move to burn
this now and not wait till spring and
warm weather Many insects hiber-
nate in weeds and trash. Burning the
weeds in cold weather destroys these
before they are warmed up and fly
or crawl away, as'they will do in the
spring Other insects hatch from
eggs laid on the weeds during the
summer As grubs they crawl into
the ground in the fall and remain in
an inactive condition during the win
ter, but alive and ready for business
when warm weather comes. Burning
the weeds in the fall or early winter
removes a protection from the ground
and permits the killing of the larva
by the extreme cold.
For these reasons it is wise to burn
all weeds, leaves and trash hefore cold
weather is over. Citizens should fol-
low the example set by the city and
burn the trash of all kinds that may
be found on their premises. The COM
mon house-hy. one of the greatest
disease distributors that exists, often
lives through the winter in leaves.
weeds and trash about the house and
barn. 1t is almost as important to
keep the premises clean in winter
as in summer, even from sanitary
standpoint.
Esthe etically il is even more import
ant. for this trash is hidden more in
the summer. In the winter it shows
in all its ugliness.
