BLETHEN'S CHIMES STIR UP
CHORUS OF REAL DISCORD

phlets were distributed about the
campus, students handing them
out from every turn and corner.
They made vivid statements OF
the students attitude and con-
tanned a cartoon, a satirical poem
and copy of the notorious letter
to my Dear Wap."
Editor Eldred was temporarily
canned" and the Issues of the
Daily Washingtonian held up for
a time.
To a letter of protest there
were signed the names of 81 stu
dents. Whether or not the board
of regents will dare suspend so
large a number, remains to be
seen, as 500 more are said to be
ready to follow their fellow stu
dents out of the institution IL
such an order is given.
While the board OF regents
were accepting the Blethen
chimes, the Seattle Commercial
club was passing a resolution ap-
pointing a committee to take up
the question of endorsing the at
titude of the students. This COM
mittee will report next week as
to whether or not money should
be raised to reimburse Blethen
the amount spent for his chimes.
Meanwhile Mr.. Blethen's $12,-
900 worth of music Is falling dis

The Central Labor council is
investigating complaints to this

the municipal bureau Is being

Men Over As Need Not
Apply

There's the sign that's gettin g
to be common thing in America.
Corporations are retiring men
at SO. They are not hiring any
one over 40.
A baldheaded man often looks
10 years older than he is.
A man with gray hair always
does.
1t is important nowadays that
a man looks as young as he is; it
is vastly important that a man
having a family dependent upon
him should take care of his hair.
If you have dandruff, get rid
OF 1t by killing the germs.
II your hair is falling out, stop
It.
If your hair is fading, don't

This was the statement of Po-

placed in the hands of a jury here
today.
At 1920 o'clock the doors of

and seek the job.
Thus when a ship comes in the
office will tack up a sign: Forty
men wanted at Eureka dock"
This sends horde of men
down there and the stevedore pro-
ceeds to pick his men leaving reg
ular longshoremen who live in Ia
coma and have homes here out
many times and picking up float
ers.
This the longshoremen object
to. They say they have plenty
of men to handle all business on
the docks and they run an en-
ployment office of their own to
supply all men wanted on the
waterfront.

WOMAN SLAIN
AS A REAL
WARNING

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct. "a.
Despite the confession of Jo-
seph Buonnomo that he, while
with four other men, shot and
killed Rose Bruno near here Tues
day night in a fit of drunkenness,
the police today are still firmly
convinced that the woman was
slain as a warning to other white
slaves to re~Sal nothing of the
operations of clavers.
The police assert that the wo-
man, before fleeing from Chicago,
informed against certain white
slavers under indictments there
and that her murder at the hands
of Buonnomo and his gang was
the result.

CITY HEADS FAVOR
USE OF SCHOOLS
Commissioners Make Favorable Re.
port on Bill to Open Buildings
as Social Settlements.

At the request Of the Board OF Educa-
ton, the Commissioners have sent to
Congress, with a request for its early
enactment, the draft OF a bill providing
for the utilization Of the public schools
OF the District as recreation centers.
The measure, should 1t become a law,
will enable the board to obtain the serv-
ices Of settlement workers who are will
ing to work for no salary and to accept
contributions OF money which would pro-
vide fr supplementary education.
The Commissioners, in their report 10
Senator Gallinger, which accompanies
the bill, call attention to the fact that
the school buildings under existing law.
are open only six hours a day during a
school period OF thirty-sIx weeks, or ap-
proximately 1,OS0 hours year.
"As there are approximately 5000 hours
in the year" states the report, during
which the proposed activities could be
carried on. it seems advisable and ex-
pedient that the sphere Of usfulness OF
this expensive plant, representing an in
vestment Of about SO, 900, 900, might be en-
Iarged by permitting its use for games,
reading. gymnastics, athletic sports, folk
dances. &c, and for meetings Of literary
or social clubs. The proposed bill has
the approval OF the Board OF Education
Of the District"

State Department of Opinion that
Backbone of Mexican Revolt
Is Broken.

Despite continued reports Of serious
disorders in Mexico, faith in the ability
OF President Madero eventually to sup
press the revolution is growing stronger
daily at the State and War Departments.
The conviction is growing that Madero's S
generals have the rebels IN the run, espe-
cially In Northern Mexico, where the only
real revolutionary army is assembled
under Gen. OroZco.
Reports to the State Department to-
day state that Gen. HUerta has arrested
Gen. Villa for robbing an American
plantation. Gen. Villa is being taken to
Mexico City for trial Details Of the
incident are lacking.
From the American Embassy II is re-
ported that the government successes in
the north have produced a noticeable
improvement OF local feeling in Mexico
City. The agitation OF the textile work
ers has subsided. Further Improvement
in conditions IS reported from Durango.
MOrslos, and Oaxaca.

THIEF LOOTS HOME
As SOLON SLEEPS
Representative Taylor of Alabama
Is Victim of Daring
Burglar.

While slumber and quiet pervaded the
household of Representative George w.
Taylor of Alabama, whose residence is at
1913 P Street Northwest. in the small
hours of yesterday morning. a thief
found the front door unlocked and en-
tered, ransaCking the rooms and escaping
with property valued at nearly 800 and
SO in cash.
Most of the stolen property was taken
from the front room on the second flBJr,
and a pair Of Mr.. TAylor's trousers, from
the pockets of which the cash was taken,
was found in the parlOr. Detectives
found evidence that the thief had in
vaded nearly every room IN the house.
When the robbery was discovered word
was at once telephoned to police head
quarters and Inspector Boardman de-
tailed several detectives to the case.
At a late hour last night no promising
clue had been unearthed and the police
fear the thief will escape. It is believed
the man has committed several small
robberies recently.
Among the property stolen was a gun
metal watch, gold cufI buttons, set with
diamonds; gold collar buttons. a black
watstcoat. a white shirt, and the wallet
containing the cash.
