NEW ENGLISH ALPHABET
PROPOSED BY MICHIGAN

Special to Daily New,

Chicago. m. Jan. 9.-Now a new
alphabet,
Prof. Fred Newton Scott OF the
University Of Michigan is the father
OF the system. lie calls II simple. AMI
predicts It's adoption by the English
speaking world on the theory that Il
will meet the modern demands OF
scientific management.
The new code OF letters is intended
TO save time. TO shorten words and to
make spelling more rational "
Prof. Scott. a bearded, bald-headed
studious man, just past middle axe.
after many months OF patient study.
has completed the system. which he
outlined In detail in lecture before
the Modern Language Association IN
Mandel Hall at the University OF Chi
cago. He has Jest completed the
preparation Of series OF papers, In
which he discusses the subject from
the technical standpoint These. he
promises. will be made public In a
few weeks. after which he expects 10

Two Meanings May he Given.
The elements OF the new alphabet
are so simple that a child easily can
comprehend them In two hours. % said
Prof. Scott. For a cOnsonant 2 per
pendicular stroke, stem or column
will be used. TO which may DE added
horizontal projections at the top,
middle and bottom. while a dash or
broken circle should represent VOW
els. Each OF these marks will have
, one meaning when they are light and
another when they are heavy
Simple vowels are represented by
a dash, while rounded vowels would
be marked by a circle with the open
novels heavy and closed ones light 4
horizontal dash. for instance. placed
In front OF the stem would mean a
simple vowel, while the back posi-
ton would be represented by a yerti-
cal dash and the intermediate posi-
tion by an inclined dash.
Prof Scott pointed out that the
adoption Of the code would save much
time for the stenorrapher. Besides
more space would he placed at tho
disposal OF the letter writer ana
thoughts would be expressed direct
without waste.
The alphabet is said to have the
approval OF type manufacturers and

SHAPING OHIO
CONSTITUTION
Many Delegates Assemble
in Columbus to Com.
plete Task
Spoeial TO Daily Newa

Special to Tally Newa
Columbgus, o., Jan 2.-The one
hundred and ninteen delegates select
ed at the November election to frame
q new Constitution for the state OF
Ohio assembled today 10 organize In
preparation for tho important task
before them. The preliminary work
OF the clerks and committees Will &c
cnpy considerable time and II viii
probably be the end OF this month
before the real business OF the con-
vention is taken up. II Is expected
that four or five months, perhaps
more. will be required to complete
the Constitution.
Three big issues will occupy much
of the attention CT the convention
These are liquor legislation. taxa
ton and the initiative and referen-
dun. The last mentioned probably
will be subjected to an even more
seyero fire than either OF the other
two owing TO the feeling that has al
ready been manifested by both sides
A determined effort will be made
In get the LIQUOR question out of the
way in advance Of the other impor'
tant matters that will come before
the convention. The course that will
be pursued in regard TO the liquor
ouestjon cannot be forecasted accur-
ately. When constitutional delegates
were elected in November there were
few candidates who pledged them
selves on either side. and In some
counties voters found il impossible
To indicate their choice OF delegates
with the liquor issue in mind.
Wayne b. Wheeler, superintendent
of the State Anti-Saloon League, as
serts that the majority of the dele
gates favor the Temperance cause.
The majority he asserts will oppose
any submission OF the liquor question
which will destroy existing temper
ance laws or take away from the
General Assembly its present power
10 prohibit the llQror traffic.
Sixty-one of the re delegates are
pledged in writing for the Initiative
and referendum with the followiae
percentages: not more than ~ PET
cent. Of the electors for the submits
sion OF constitutional amendments;
not more than 10 per cent. for tha
submission of other initiative mea-
sures. and not more thar per cen.
for referendum petitions. Several ol
the delegates are pledged to th'
principles @. the initiative and refer
endum without specific percentages
The taxation problem promises "a
bo bo;hcrsome one for the convcn-
tion to solve Many students Of thi
suhie of taxation have been trying
for years 10 provide for the classifi'
cation of property for purposes OF
taxation The matter came mp dur
ing the last constitutional conNeu-
ton, and after extended discussion
and many compromises II was left
In substantially It's old form. The
business interests are in favor Il

was submitted TO the last constitu-
tional convention and was defeated.
