Fagin heard them coming and took
his boots from the table, and sat up
straight in his chair; the preacher
pushed his back until half concealed
behind the door; Grant never looked
around. Jones came into view first,
and behind him walked Claire. her
cheeks flushed, her head held high. At
the door she paused. refusing to enter.
her eyes calmly surveying the occu-
pants.
"You sent for me. sir" she said
coldly. May ask for what purpose?"
Even Fagin's cool insolence was un-
able to Withstand unmoved her beauty
and her calmness of demeanor. Ap-
parently he had never met her before.
for, with face redder than ever, he got
to his feet. half bowing. and stam-

BAR ASSOCIATION HEARS
THE COURTS DISCUSSED

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 29.--Today' s
session of the American Bar Associa-
ton convention her was devoted to
discussion of the American ]ndiciol
system aud nomination of officers of
the association Senator Geo ge G.
Sutherland of Utah discussed Courts
and Constitutions"
Report of the committee on uniform
state laws:
The committee on uniform state
laws recommended adoption by the
conference of resolution approving
three proposed new laws, which it is
suggested be adopted by all the states.
They include a uniform marriage
law, child labor act and legislation by
the states adopting as their standard
the standards laid down by the federal
pure food statutes.
The uniform marriage law recon-
mended leaves to each state the quail
fications of parties to marriage;
requires two witnesses; provides that
application for license must be made
five days prior to delivery and also
abolishes the old common law mar
riage.
The child labor law suggested is
practically a composite of existing
state laws, prepared by a special COM
mittee. 1t prohibits employment of
children under IA years of age in
mills, factories, workshops, mercan-

GRADE SCHOOLS OPEN
SOON; II. S. ON OCT. Is


While the fall term in the Moscow
public schools will open Monday Sep
tember 8, the fall season in the high
school will not be under way until
about October Is, when it is hoped to
have the new high school completed.
This plan has been adopted by the
board of education to avoid the con-
fusion due to moving, and to the over
crowding of the schools had any other
plan been adopted. The high school
work next year will continue later in
the spring to make up for any defic-
iency caused by the delay.
The grades up to the sixth Will be
taken care of in the old high school
building. The corps of teachers in
this building will be:
Isa Whitworth, beginners; Mrs. R. R..
Tiffany, 2B; Clara Wethered, 3B;
Lena Whitmore, ABB; Mollie Carlson,
5B; Jeanette Funk, 1st grade; Myra
Brown, 2B and 2A;; Nettie Peterson,
3B, 3A; Margaret Keane, 4A.
There will probably have to be some
changes in these assignments. The as
signment of new pupils always neces
states certain changes which can not
be determined until after the new
pupils have been classified.

GOV. WILSON In TALK TO
PENNSYLVANIA FARMERS

WILLIAMSGROVE, Pa, Aug. 29.-
The opening speech of his campaign
for the presidency was delivered to-
day by Governor Woodrow Wilson, the
democratic nominee, at the opening
annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
State grange. His address was enthu-
siastically received
He attacked Colonel Roosevelt and
the republican party, asserting that
the democrats should concentrate
their efforts in Maine, Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Ohio.
Governor Wilson said in part: ut
it generally supposed that we are con-
Quoting the national business along the
lines laid down by Thomas Jefferson,
but as matter of fact we have been
conducting it along the lines laid
down by Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton believed the common run
of men had little qualification for such
business, asserting that such matters
could be comprehended by only those
who led in commercial ami industrial
enterprise.

A general prohibition against stage

Miss Cora Campbell will have the 5A
and division of the 5B in some room
yet to be secured. Miss Emma Madison
will have the 6B in the annex. The
remaining grades up to the high school
will be taken care of in the Irving
building.
The Irving faculty will be as fol-
lows: ]. P. Brakeman, principal and
teacher of arithmetic; Miss Blanche
Clark, grammar, Miss Georgia Fotte,
history and civics; Miss Jessie Har-
ter, geography and agriculture; Miss
Whittier, reading and penmanship.
The janitors have been at work
nearly all summer and will have the
buildings in excellent shape when
school begins. The whole school has
been carefully reseated and. enough
adjustable seats have been provided
for each room to seat comfortably
every child in the district.
Everything looks good for a splen-
did school year. The corps of teachers
is undoubtedly as strong as the school
ever had, the enrolment promises to
be large and when the new building. is
completed the conditions for handling
the school will be as good as can be

today covering the alleged agreement
between Taft representatives and Will

company will be seen in "A Romance

Most of the comedy is furnished by a
