TEACHER MAKES
NEW PRONOUN

CHICAGO, January 6.-"He'er" for
''he or she"-"his'er" for his or her"
thinner" for him or her."
This is the manner in which Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of
schools, simplified' the English Ian
guage at meeting of school princi-
pals in the Board of Education rooms
today, Her subject in part was on
simplification of the course of study,
and throughout her talk she used the
simplified form of third person singu-
lar personal pronOun.
I'VE are in need of a personal pro,
noun, third person, singular number,
that will indicate both genders," said
Mrs. Young. Some years ago at a
university class the subject came up
Tor discussion and l remember we
were two hours and a half thrashing
it out. Now most of the personal pro
nouns of feminine gender end in 'er,
and if you take a masculine pronoun
and put 'er at the end you have it. "
Here are some of the sentences
used by Mrs. Young and containing
the 'simplified pronouns":
"A principal should so conduct
hiser school that all pupils are en-
gagged in something that is profitable
to him'er and where the pupil is re-
quired to use knowledge in school in
accomplishing his'er task"

the work for the fifth or sixth grade
when he'er has always done the work
in the grades above or below"

assistant treasurer of the Republican
National Committee. When Mr.. Up
ham had concluded his argument
someone proposed that he be made
an honorary member of the Demo
cratic committee. There was more
applause, but no vote on this sugges-
ton.
J. Hamilton Lewis closed the argu-
ment for Chicago, dwelling on the ad-
vantages of that city and its expert
ence in handling national conventions.
Chicago, in addition to defraying
the expenses of the convention, of
fered a contribution of $4,000 to the
Democratic campaign fund. Fhis an
nouncement caused a stir and appar-
emily increased Chicago's chances ma
terially.
Baltimore's bid followed chicagos
Representative Talbot of Maryland
made the opening speech and Sena-
tor Rayner followed.
C. F. Hershy spoke for Robert
Grain, chairman of the Baltimore
committee, and called out a storm of
cheers when he drew from his pocket
certified check for 100000 and laid
1t upon the table. The claims of st,
Louis were presented by e. F. Goltra,
former Governor David r. Francis,
Rolla VOLS and James r. Smith. st,
Louis offered to be more liberal in
appropriations for the convention
work than ever before, but no defn-
ite amount was offered.
Edward M. Tierney then spoke for

York bid was in, the committee began
balloting.

GENTLEMENS AGREEMENT MORE
EFFECTIVE THAN FEDERAL LAW

San Francisco Bulletin: Our schools
teach that our Federal Government is
all powerful within the great republic
known as the III ted States. The
trial of the barons of the beef trust
however, has not yet produced any
evidence in support of the theory of
the pedagogues. According to undis-
puted evidence, adduced, ELECTED and
dragged out, the beef trust made it's
own law and knew no other law,
either local. State or Federal. A law
of Congress forbade combinations in
restraint of trade. The beef trust ig-
nOred this law 1t not only formed
combinations to control all branches
of the trade in which it was engaged,
but it imposed fines on all members
of it's combination who failed to live
up to their Understanding agree
ment. In short the beef trust was
a law unto itself.
Evidence introduced at the trial of
the indicted packers shows that the
Federal Government has not yet sue
ceeded in impressing it's supremacy

Honolulu, T. H., Jan. 20, 1911.
| desire to call your attention to
certain regulations of the Board of
Health recently enacted and to ask
your cooperation in the efforts of the
board to remove possible causes of
sickness by remedying insanitary con-
ditions in the city.
The Board of Heath, for many
weeks past, has been engaged in
campaign to thoroughly clean Homo
lulu. This work has, for the most
part, been carried out by the board
at its own expense. On and after
this date the policy of the board will
be changed and in future every owner,
occupant or tenant of any premises
which, in the opinion of the Board of
Health, are insanitary will be called
upon to promptly remedy such insau-
itary condition, and upon refusal, will
be liable to immediate prosecution.
Aside from abating and removing
actual nuisances, this campaign will
be mainly devoted to the eradication
of mosquitoes.
BY certain regulations adopted by
the Board of Health on November 9,
1911, it is provided (under Section ~
that any gutter, drain or roof within
the area to which the regulation APP
plies shall be kept thoroughly clean
and so constructed or perforated that

NEW YORK, January 9.-The great
marble nine-story building of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society at
100 Broadway the home of the Mer-
camille Trust Company, the Equitable
Trust Company, the banking house Of
Kountze Brothers, the Mercantile Safe
Deposit Company and the Hartman
lines, was destroyed early today by
fire. Three men lost their lives by
leaping from the roof, and Assistant
Fire Chief Walsh is believed to have
been burned to death in the building.
Four men are known to be dead and
five injured in the fire, and several
persons are missing, including Battal-
ion Chief Walsh.
The fire was still burning in the
debris in the basement of the building
this afternoon. Conservative estimates
of the damage this afternoon placed
the loss in the neighborhood of $10,-
100000, while others say the loss will
run as high as $15,000,000.
According to an officer of the Equita-
BILE, the great safety deposit vaults IN
the building contained last night Sc
curities aggregating between $780,
100000 and $3OO,oOO,OOO The vaults
are believed to be intact.
William Giblin, president of the Mer-
camille Safe Deposit Company, was i'm
prisoned with three other employees in
the vaults and was rescued after the
firemen had sawed through several
two-inch steel bars. One man is be-
lieved to have lost his life in the
vaults.
Fought from Roofs of skyscrapers.
The fire was in the heart of the
financial district and the flames were
fought mainly from the tops of sky
scrapers. Business was brought al
most to a complete standstill among
banking and brokerage houses, whose
employees could not reach the scene of
their daily activities. Financial firms
stopped business to care for the fire
men.
Most of the vital records of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society were
kept in the branch Offices of the So
ciety in the Hazen building, several
blocks from the main offices.
The big Equitable building was also
the home of the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads, the banking house Of
August Belmont e Co., the Mercantile
Trust Company, now a subsidiary of
the Bankers Trust Company; the Mer-
camille Safe Deposit Company, to-
gether with a number of New York
financial firms.
Millions in the Vaults.
Millions on millions of dollars in Sc
curities and cash were cared for in the
immense vaults of the Equitable COM
pany and in the vaults of the Trust
and Safe Deposit companies, but it is
not believed that the heat of the fire
can penetrate the safes or that there
will be any loss from this source.

on the beef trust. Among the exhib
it's of the prosecution is a copy of a
resolution adopted in May, 1900 by
the packers pool This resolution
fixed a penalty of one and ope-half
cents a pound on all overshipments
to competitive points in excess of 49,
900 pounds a week above the maxi
mum allowed by the packers agree
ment. Such was the law of the pack
ers. 1t did not have an army or a
navy or a string of courts behind it.,
but nevertheless it was enforced,
which is more than can be said of the
law of the land, with all it's backing
of army and navy and courts. Posi-
bly,, despite our early teachings, the
courts do not back up the laws of the
land. If so, that explains why the
beef trust organized it's own govern
ment and its own court, adopted it's
own laws and enforced it's own penal
ties for failure to carry out to the let
ter it's plan of annulling a Federal
statute that interfered with it's bust
ness arrangements.
