New Alphabet.

horizontal dash. for instance, placed
in front OF the stem would mean q
simple vowel, while the back position
would be represented by a vertical
dash and the intermediate position by
an inclined dash"
The alphabet Is said to have the ap
proval of type manufacturers and
typewriter houses. The system is to
reduce the modern English alphabet
by nine characters and do away with
combinations. which, Prof Scott con-
tends, are cumbersome, wasteful and
complicated and do not express clear
ly the thought of the speaker or
writer"
The design Of the new alphabet is
to take the place of the old code, but
no attempt-at least not for a time
is to be made to adapt 1t to ordinary
or to stenographic writing.
The professor asks this question:
"Since We have devoted-and do de
vote-so much energy and thought TO
time-saving devices. why not save
time in that which would benefit every
man and woman. especially those in
business?"
Prof. Scott argues that his new al
phabet, when firmly established. would
be hundredfold more beneficial
than even simplified spelling.
What tired business man at some
time of the day or other has not laid
down a long letter because the long
words and sentences we're firing his
brain?" asks Prof. Scott What jurist
has not at some time or other been
entangled In the maze Of verbiage I'm.
I'll his eyes swan?
yet all Of this could be so simplI.
fed that writing would take only half
the time that It does with the old
alphabet. We surely need a simpIi.
fed method Of writing English.
Some will argue that the system |
have obtained is too complicated for
the lay mind and that It Is more or
less Of a scientific proposition. To
these critics ! win answer that the
elements Of the system are simple
far more so than those Of our present
language. In the code l offer there
are two kinds Of sounds, q voice and
q breath sound. the former being des.
ignated by a heavy stem and the lat
ter by light one.
For instance. q thin perpendicular
column or stem with dash at the ton
Of the stem stands for r as IN fat.
which you win see is only a sound Of
the breath and lips
by widening the column and max.
ing It heavier and thicker ! get the
voice Of " as In vat a vibration Of
the vocal cords and purely a voics
sound. The same a. IN thin. the tn
e . breath sound. while TIE IN us1d
a there becomes q vocal sound.

Of Virginia to call out for organiEa-

TYLER ATTACKS
PAGES FIGURES
Challenges Statement Comparing
Funds Used to Retire
State Debt.

Major S. Heth Tyler, of Norfolk.
- HuCH exercised over an article
headed Paying State Debt" which
appeared In The Times b is patch in
the issue of September Z He thinks
II does his father. former Governor j.
ioge Tyler. an injustice. Major Tyler
says the article "perverts the facts"
Further on in a letter to this paper
he says 1T is hard 10 understand why
any ono showing such monumental
ignoiance should hold the position Of
dispensing news on paper as wide
ly read as is yours. for the facts arc
directly TO the contrary from what is
stated in the article" Still further
on he refers to the misleading and
untrue statement"
The portion of the article 10 which
he objects is as follows:
Under the administration OF Gov
ernor Tyler. the state bought bonds
10 tho value of S11ll.5O0. For the
four years from January /. 1902. TO
February /. 1906 during the admin
istration Of Governor Montague. the
purchases were S2o4.5o0. while during
The term OF Governor Swanson they
were S5Ss.40o. L, is recalled that
Governor Tyler found a large balance
in the treasury when he came in.
while Governor Montague had none
to work with"
Inasmuch AS The Times Dispatch has
had no actuary to examine the rec
-ords in Inc oiicc of the Second Au-
ditor. +, must refer the cpi,hots OF
Major Tyler regarding monumental
ienorance.' gross perversion' and
misleading ard untrue statement TO

whom the figures were secured &C

Mr Page and reiterated Yesterday

STUART DID NOT

Baltimore Sun Story Puts Can

Not one word of truth exists in the

effect that Henry c. Stuart had writ

The whole story according to Mir
Stuart is false. and 1t seems it was

him regarding the matter has re-
ceived Il reply.
MIR Stuart cannot see why he should
not write to Senator Martin if he
desired. but the Baltimore sun article
puts him in rediculous position in
the matter Of his candidacy. since he
made formal announcement I'm the
Times Dispatch nearly "a year ago and
to have it stated that he makes an
