Others Should Go.

''If the Board of Education wishes 10

In it's method and abolish all such
offces.' said J. J. o'Donnell. who has
always retained a keen interest in the
AFFAIRS of the southwest section. today.
THE place has not been filled since
the death of Mr.. Fairbrother. and 1
understand that the board regards the
existing vacancy as an opportunity for
retrenchment.
1.-The Eighth. district is the third
largest in the city 1t has some Of
the largest schools and the only pub

can be eliminated there he could be
abolished elsewhere as we'll"
Mr.. o'Donnell said the teachers in
the southwest district were UP. in
arms, but that they were afraid to
make their complaint known because
II might endanger their positions.
THE real trouble seems to be that
the southwest section of the city is not
represented on the school board. As
result that section OF the city. Is
likely to feel the brunt OF changes that
are made.

Will Fight Against
Military Conscription
Throughout Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 17.-Leaders OF
the independence, Catholic, and revolu-
tionists political parties concertedly
served notice upon President Madero to-
day that they would oppose legislation
by congress establishing military con-
scription throughout the republic.
However, as the opposition in the
chamber of deputies numbers only
ninety-three out of a membership oil
243 1t was not considered likely that
the Madero program would be retarded
Ranch owners throughout Sonora are
complaining of the raids of rebels.
There was an anti-Madero outbreak
in the streets here early today. which
required the efforts of a dozen police
men to quell. A number of students
from the military academy marched
through the streets shouting, Down
with Madero!'' and viva Biaz!'
When ordered to disperse the students
refused to do so. Instead, they armed
themselves with clubs and stones and
attacked the police. For time It look
ed as though 1t would be necessary to
fire upon the disturbers, but the officers
used their batons with such effective
ness as to put the youths to flight.

COWBOYS DO HONOR
TO CAPITAL HEROINE
Girl, Travelling Alone in West,
Stops Runaway and Wild West
Show Is Reward.

A Washington girl, making a trip by
herself through the great West has
won the admira ton of the inhabitants
Of Double X ranch, in Granite Canyon,
Wyoming. Miss Leila McGrath, daugh.
ter OF Capt J. G. McGrath, president of
the Park View Citizens Association, Is
the young woman.
Miss McGrath has always expressed
a desire to see the great Western coun-
try. After much persuasion her parents
agreed to let her go. Two months ago
she began a long trip alone through
States beyond the Mississippi river.
When she reached Granite Canyon she
met some people there who took quite
a fancy to her. and she was invited to
spend a few weeks.
The wife OF a neighboring rancher
was visiting the home where Miss Nc
Grath was stopping last Tuesday, and
when the woman started to return the
horse pulling the vehicle in which she
was riding became frightened and be-
gan mad runaway race. Miss Nc
Grath grabbed the reins and held on to
the frightened animal. which stumbled.
Miss McGrath was pinned to the
ground, but fortunately was not in
The cowboys, in her honor, the next
day gave a real wild West show, riding
wild ponies, lassoinG, and performing
other feats that only a cowboy can do.
Miss McGrath has written her parents
mensely, and II is probable that II she
can find a suitable position she will
make her home in Wyoming for some
months to come.

Reaches Montana Party
Drenched.

That a demure Washington society

Maddox. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
who. with Miss Abbie Hamilton. a
Junior at VassRr College, surprised folk
In the vicinity of Great Falls. Mon, by

country in a violent electric storm to
attend a dance.
Details of the feat accomplished by
the young Washington girl, whose
father is a solicitor for the Interior
Department, preceded her to this city.
Miss Maddox, who has just finished a
visit at the Montana University, is on
her way home, and Is expected to ar
rive here about September 20.
With several other girls, Misses Mad
dox and Hamilton were enjoying life
In the open at the Webber camp in
the Belt mountains, about fifty miles
from Great Falls, Miss Edmee Des-
champs who lives about ten miles from
the camping grounds, arranged a dance
in honor Of Miss Maddox. When the
time came to start for the Deschamps
estate, no conveyance could be had.
Miss Maddox and Miss Hamilton
agreed to walk and started across the
mountains in the dusk OF the evening
They had got but short distance from

President Oyster Favors
Supervision of Plan to
Combine Public Utilities

President James F. Oyster, of the
Chamber of Commerce and Board of
Education, Is not disturbed over the
proposed merging of the public utility
interests of the District. He regards
the proposition as a business one which
should be watched to the extent of
vlsing the securities issued by Congress
of public utility commission.
r II have repeatedly stated my position
as to a public, utility commission" he
said. II do not think the Commission
ers should be saddled with this extra
duty, but l do favor the creation of an
independent commission"
Asked whether he thought the pro-
posed consolidation portended any dan
ger of continued high utility rates
through the issuance of additional Sc
curities. = he said that such issuance
ought to be regulated by Congress or
a commission, but he did not see how
the regulation could otherwise be eff
This is a business proposition" he
added. The present companies to a
large extent are consultations of for
mer smaller companies, and I do not
see how we are going to stop the
project, or. why 1t should be stopped. 1
