present one man, has too much
ground to cover. His work can
not be efficient.
Mr.. Wright closed with an appeal
for better sanitation and heating and
ventilating in the rural schools. He
pointed to the fact that when pris-
ons and jails were built, the plans
for heating and ventilating had to
be passed upon by the state board
of health, but that when a bill to
have plans of schools come under
the same supervisors, was presented
to the state legislature, it was de-
feated.

DOUCHE FOR HIGH HOPES
Official Statement in Berlin In
dicates That Optimism on
Subject Is Premature.

Berlin. Feb. PA highly optimistic ac-
count of the recent visit to Berlin OF Wis.,
count Baldane, Secretary of state for War
in the British Cabinet. and of the Anglo
German negotiations generally is given
to-day in an article published in tho
'Lokalanzeiger" and attributed TO an au-
thorItative diplomatic correspondent
The result of the conversations" be-
tween Lord Haldane and the German min
listers is declared to have been more IA
vorable than either side had dared to hope.
The world for long time has had no such
good reason for looking forward confidently
TO a peaceful future.
The credit of putting an end TO the diplo-
matte tension between the two countries
IS asCribed TO King George personally. II
was realized by the British monarch that
the atmosphere was without doubt capable
Of being cleared up by frank discussion
OF the situation between the two powers.
and took steps toward this end before his
departure for India. Upon his return TO
England he found the subject ripe for dis
cussion. and Lord Haldane started for
Berlin after receiving an unmistakahle In
that his visit would be acceptable.
The aim of the present negotiations ap-
pears to he the drafting of a sort OF pro-
tocol which will set forth the views or
both parties on all great questions OF
world politics and serve as a guide I'm their
future relations. The protocol will contain
mutual loyal assurances as to the peaceful
and friendly motives Of each nation ana
clarity the wishes and plans Of both par
hntf o.
spective interests will be rendered avoid
al BILE in the future by timely discussion.
Neither the African colonial nor the dis
armament question figures prominently In
the negotiations. which are still going on.
Tho colonial question was already regu-
lated in 1S99 and the question Of the future
ornaments Of the two countries will de-
pend largely upon the effect the Anglo
German understanding has upon the gem
eral peace OF the world.
The German Foreign Office issued a state
ment this evening that the article in the
'Lokalanzeiger" had no official basis. and
added These assertions are based solely
on conjecture and are therefore only cal
culated to awaken false hopes or false
fears"
Some Slgnincance atta'hes 7" NV lHc'

fice gives not the least suggestion OF any
ground for comfort on the chance that the
Conjectures might be

entity is anxious not 10 permit the hopes

lations with Great Britain 10 reach too

FAMINE PRICES FOR COAL
London Pays So a Ton in Antici
patton of Strike.

London, Feb 2i--Conditions throughout
Great Britain, particularly in the manu-
featuring districts Of the North OF Eng
land, are becoming rapidly worse as II re-
suit OF the threatened coal strike. At
many OF the iron works and other big fac
tories the men to-day received notices from
the employers that their services would
not be required after February 70 should
the coal strike be decided on, Most of the
factories have supplies of coal, but these
are required for the most urgent work in
hand.
In London and other cities the price Of
coal has already reached IS a ton. and the
poorer classes OF people are paying almost
double this rate, as they purchase only in
small quantities.
Both the coal owners and the miners
have signified their acceptance OF Premier
Asquith's invitation to meet him and a
number Of his colleagues in the Cabinet at
the Foreign Office tomorrow.
The committee of the international Min
ers' Federation adjourned their session un-
III tomorrow. 1t is known that both
French and Belgian societies have assured
the British miners that they can rely on
their active cooperation.

CAM0RRA TRIAL NEAR END
Last Witness Heard and Sum-
ming Up Begun.

Viterbo Italy, Feb. 2l.-The cumming up
has at last begun in the trial Of the SrOup
of Camorrists. charged with the murder Of
Gennaro Cuocolo and his wife In 1906. For
NAL proceedings in the case were begun
more than eleven months ago, and the last
witness, II was announced, was heard to-
day. lie was an engraver. Argenio hy
name, who engraved Cuocolo's initials on
the ring alleged to have been found hidden
in the house occupied by Giuseppe Salvi.
which has been one OF the important ex-
hibits in the case. Argenio denied en-
phatically having confessed. as the defence
maintained. that the engraving was done
after Cuocolos murder.
Signor Rota then began the preliminary
summing up for the prosecution. His ad-
dress occupied the entire afternoon. He
pointed out that the importance of the case
was greater than the matter of bringing
the murderers Of two criminals 10 justice.
The case, he said. represented the study
of a great social evil by a people desirous
Of shaking off a criminal yoke.
