LONDON. March 2s.-George Bernard
Shaw told an educational meeting in
London to-day what he thought chill
dren's schools ought to be. He promised
that secular education was absurd and
impossible. Moreover. he was of the
opinion that the subject of religion should
never be mentioned in schools for chill,
dren.
Continuing he expressed the belief
that the fact of religion being made one
Of the subjects TO he taught in school
was one Of the causes of the intense de-
testation for religion which now charac-
teriIed the English people. Prisons
never changed and the schools to-day
were exactly as they were when he was a
boy; namely. places in which to keep
children out of the way of their parents.
The schools OF the future, he predicted,
would be schools in the sense that theatres
were schools.

SOCIALISTS WIN N KANSAS.
Voters Of wichita Decide In Favor O
being Nilwaukecizcd.

WICHITA. Kan, March cS-"We will
Milwauk eeize Wichita" proved a winning
slogan for the Socialists of Wichita yes
terday, for they nominated their Mayor
atty candidate. A. l. Blaze. a shoemak er.
by nearly 1000 plurality, placed two OF
their candidates for city commissioners
on the final tickets. and have a fighting
chance for one other commissioner nom
inee. The extremely heavy Socialist vote
was the surprise of the election. Blaze
carried twenty out Of the twenty-three
precincts in the city and the two success
full candidates for commissioner. A. A.
Roe and J. W. Taylor. had a good margin
of votes over the twenty-nine other can
didates.
John H. Graham. Mayor OF Wichita
four years ago. was the other nominee
for Mayor.
Politicians here are at a loss to explain
the Socialist victory. Nobody expected
it. not even the Socialists themselves
although they asserted their candidate
for Mayor would be one OF the nominees
Political fcuds will so split the vote
here in the final election on April that
there Is an excellent chance for the Social.
lists to elect their candidate for Mayor,
and possibly two Of the four city CON-
missioners, which will give them control
The total vote was about $4,000 out OF
a registered strength OF slightly more
than 10000 About 10000 women voted
Their votes were divided, the wives OF
the laboring men generally voting like
their husbands for Blaze and the Social
ist nominees. II is expected more women
will vote at the election.

&. &. DODGE WILL STANDS.
Pretty Much All tho Estate at Present
Tied I'd fer Mission Work.

Surrogate Cohalan denied yesterday a
motion by Charles Stuart Dodge to have
set aside the probate Of the will OF his
father, Gen. Charles Cleveland Dodge. on
the ground that it is invalid because Of its
provisions relating to the formation Of a
CORPORATION to administer the trust estate
for the benefit of many religious and
missionary organizations.
The will was made in 1903, and in his
petition TO the Surrogate Mr.. Dodge said
that conditions had 30 changed that after
having all the debts and testamentary
expenses the trust estate will comprise
possibly the whole or at least the greater
part of the estate. The will directed that
The CORPORATION to administer the estate
have short. simple and impersonal
name" and that the income be used to
further Christian work in the world. |"
The trust fund is composed entirely Of
securities Of the Cape Cod Canal Com
pany, having a nominal value OF $3.50 900.
but the real value is problematical.
Is too indefinite and it's provisions unen-
forceable. but the Surrogate rules that
the beQuest may he completely effectuated
i'm the manner prescribed by the testator.
and says that the Legislature has power
to create corporation to administer the
trust estate -
The Surrogate did not determine
