WAKE UP SAYS McKEEvER.
Kansas Professor Gives Michigan
Pointers on Home Influences.

Lansing, Mich, March 2.-Millions
of public money is being spent an
nually in support of scientific soil
culture and animal culture, while the
home training of children is intrusted
to debating societies and purely spec
ulative methods. This was the state
ment made last night before the
Michigan Agricultural college by
Professor William A. McKeever of the
Kansas State Agricultural college in
plea for the better home training
of children.
Professor McKeever declared that
the public schools, no matter how
we'll conducted, cannot reach or con-
troll the character forming influences
that originate in the home.
What a splendid service there
could be rendered to the many an
xious and earnest parents, who for
lack of instruction and intelligent
guidance are laundering so fearfully
in child rearing, if committee of
trained experts would simply gather
the facts regarding the methods of
thousand SO called successful pay
ents and an equal number of unsuc-
cessful ones and then summarize and
interpret these results SO that all in

TRACK AND FIELD.
The Program for the Fifth Oiympiad
Is Out.

Chicago, March 2.-The program
for the fifth Olympiad, to be held at
Stockholm, Sweden, next year, was
made public today. Many events un-
familiar to American athletes are on
the card. New conditions, for instance
govern the javelin throw and the shot
put. In addition to the free throw,
there will be throws by the left and
right hands alternately. The Swedes
and Germans are said to be adept at
this style, but it is sure to be handi-
cap to most of the Americans. Com
petition will start on June 80 with
lawn tennis and target shooting. On
July 7, the real athletic competitions
will begin with the 100 meter race.
Wrestling occupies a prominent place
on the program and water events vie
with those of track and field
The big event of the meeting-the
Marathon race-will be run July IS
The distance has been made 24.85
miles instead of the regulation 20
miles 3S5 yards.

Attack Is Feared.

Ell Paso, March 2.-Telegrams from
Chihuahua say that, owing to the rail-
roads being cut north and south, pro-
visions are taking skyward jumps and
foreigners and natives alike are suf-
fering owing to stagnation of business.
The troops dare not go outside of town
for fear of being trapped by insur-
rectos, one band being rs close as four
miles. The town is alarmed that the
city,s surrender has been demanded.
One estimate places the number of in
surrectos west of the city at fifteen
hundred, with Madero and his force
advancing from the north. A com
mand of cavalry was sent to the sta
ton last night to entrain. but taken
off the cars and sent back to the bar
racks. This gave rise to the rumor
that officials had information that the
town would be attacked soon

POWER OF COURTS.
To Examine Books of Corporations
Argued at Washington.

Washington, March. 2,-The extent
of the power of the courts to examine
the books of corporations was the
question raised in a series of cases be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States today for argument.
William Dreier, secretary of the
Lichtenstein Millinery company of
New York and Christopher c. Wilson,
president of the United Wireless Tele-
graph company, a Maine corporation,
have both been declared in contempt
of court in New York because they
prevented the grand jury from ex-
aiming books of their respective cor
porations. In the former case the
grand jury was investigating certain
alleged violations of the custom laws.
In the latter, the grand jury was in
quiring into alleged violations of the
postal laws.
