extremely difficult for men to under
duction in mems salaries has made it
take the work unless they have In
dependent means.
Two years ago, mems salaries we're
more than third greater than they
are today. Before the equal pay law
went into effect a man teacher start
ed at 5000 and went to $3.50 in II
years; now he starts at $3.50 and may
hope, to reach $500 after Is years
With the withdrawal of the men
from teaching it seems probable that
a few years more will see the decline
of the Public Schools Athletic league
unless thousands or more women
come forward as coaches of baseball,
basketball and track athletics.

Perpetual Youth.

IT'S yet high day. Thy staff resume
And fight fresh battles for the truth.
For what is age but youths full bloom,
A ripper, more transcendent youth?
A weight of gold
Is sleVer old.
Streams broader grow as downward rolled
At sixty-twa life has begun;
At seventy-three begins once more;
Fly swifter as thou nearest the sun
And brighter shine at eighty-four.
At ninety-fve,
Shouldst thou arrive,
Still wait on God and work and thrive

New York, Oct. 25.-The public

and that dress.
1t is not necessary to spend a
great deal of money to be well
dressed, but one must wear a suit
able gown for ones time, place
and circumstance-that is the Sc
cret of good dressing.
l always feel sorry for the girl
whose station in life does not per-
init her to wear the fluffy ruff
flies and delicate coolrs that all
girls love, but it is very foolish for
the girl who works either in a
store or an office to attempt to
wear something which she fond
1y thinks will pass as the same
kind of a dress worn by Miss Mil
lionaire.
Whatever you do, dear girls,
don't wear imitation things. A
pretty, we'll made gingham is
much more to be desired and will
look better than near-silk, and a
plain sailor hat of a good straw
with a simple band will look much
prettier upon young girl than
lot of fimsy roses and imitation
lace that the dampness of the first
rainy day will ruin.
A great many girls are anxious
to know what colors they can
wear becomingly. A good way
to decide this is to take some of
the material of the color you adj
mire and hold it up close to your
face, placing yourself in strong
light. You can Immediately tell
if it will become you or not.

Guarding Pontico Hills.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Aug. 28.-John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., came back to his
fathers Pontico Hills estate today af-
ter spending the night in his New
York home. Before he arrived, the
special detectives, designated to put
the Black Hand out of business, were
put on patrol through the big estate.
Some amusement was expressed by
friends of Rockefeller over the fact
that he refused to spend the night on
the estate after giving out an inter-
view declaring that he and his father
were on the best of terms with their
employees; that they feared no further
trouble, and that petty jealouaes
among his men had been exaggerated
by envious neighbors.
Sheriff Doyle and a squad Of bis
men were today searching the Italian
settlements here and in North Tary-
town to locate fire arms or high ex-
plosives, and the sheriff declared that
he intended to see that order was pre-
served by every one in the county.

American Bar Association.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 28.-Inter-
est in the delegates of the American
Bar Association convention here to-
day centered in the report of a spe-
cial committee which denounced the
recall of judges. The report which
was presented early in today's ses-
sion urged that the recall was "dang-
erous, Objectionable and subversive Of
good government"
Predictions of the leaders were that
the report would be adopted, and the
committee continued to do missionary
work among the recall advocates.
Strenuous efforts were being made
today to prevent the discussion of
the question of negro members of the
association. Attorney General Wick
ersham said that the resolution adopt
ed yesterday presumed that the three
colored attorneys over whose men,
bership the fight was started, were
actually members, although the exc
cutive committee declared in a report
that they were not.
1t was likely today that some of
the members who We're displeased with
the steam roller methods employed in
putting through the resolution of
Jacob Dickinson, former secretary of
war, would insist upon bringing the
question up on the convention floor.
The prediction was freely expressed
that full discussion of the negro
question would cause friction that
would require years to heal.
Frank B. Kellogg, the trust bust
er, who made the principal speech at
today's session, is being urged for
president of the organization.

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 28.-"He per-
mitted me to play only sacred or clas-
sical music on the piano, and l can't
live without playing ragtime," said
Mrs. Jessie Koenig today in defense
of her suit for divorce and alimony
on grounds of cruelty filed yesterday
against her husband, City Forester
Julius Koenig.
"When we were married in 1902
Koenig had So and l had $4,' his wife
said 'We both worked but were hap
py. When he was appointed City For,
rester at $4,000 year two years ago

me-"
Koenig went on a vacation early
this month. Returning, he found his
home devoid of furniture, Mrs. Koe
mig said she had to sell the goods tc
keep from starving while he wa:
away. She still loves him, she sale
today, but can't put up with his con-
ceit. Koenig protests he wants his
wife back.

Wedding Declared Legal.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2S.-1'he vote
stands four to two, the magistrate at
Wilmington declares everything legal,
and the wedding of John Schoenherr,
72, wealthy real estate man and curled
hair manufacturer to Miss Julia Klein
bach, %, nurse in his household, is
done beyond undoing. Three of Scho-
enherr's daughters all of them older
than the girl he married, are disposed
to sustain their father and approve
his marriage. Another daughter and
a son, William, do not like it at all,
but can do nothing. They have re-
turned from Wilmington, Del, where
they went to see if the marriage
could be annulled. 1t cannot. The
elder Schoenherr tried to keep the
wedding secret, until he was ready
to announce it, but official records had
to be made, and these disclosed his
matrimonial adventure.

May Probe Bank Deposits.

Richmond, Aug. 2S.-Another phase
of his coming activities in the mat
ter of tax reform was announced yes
terday by State Auditor C. Lee Moore.
This is that he will inquire into the
amounts of money on deposit in banks
as returned by the citizens of Virginia.
Mr.. Moore states that The will call
upon the State Bank Examiner for a
statement as to the amount of morley
on deposit in each State bank in Vir-
ginia on February IS, 1912, the date
on which the call for statement
nearest to February l, when the eaxes
are levied, was made. He will also
make similar request of the Comp
troller of the Currency in Washing
ton for the total amount on deposit in
national banks on the same day.
Fortified with these figures, the
Auditor will compare them with the
totals given in as bank deposits in
each locality in the State. For in
stance, it will appear that one coun-
ty returned in all S25, 1000 of money on
deposit. The bank statements will
show that $750,0OO was on deposit in
the banks of that county on February
Is.
These two statements will be sent
to the judge of the Circuit Court of
the county or the Corporation Court
of the city, with request that the
figures be brought to the attention OF
the grand jury.

1000 FIGHTING MEN.
To be Supplemented by Large Naval
Force of Two Cruisers and Sew
eral Smaller Vessels.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-President
Taft today ordered the Tenth In
fantry, which is stationed at Panama
CITY, to sail for Corinto' Nicaragua,
Immediately. The Presidents action
was taken on the direct request of
the State Department and it is the
first time in many years that Amerl-
can soldiers have been sent to Cen
trail America to quell rebellion
There are now over 500 marines in
Nicaragua who were dispatched there
to guard American life and property
and with the arrival of the Tenth In
fantry, under Colonel Henry R. Greene
the Cated States will have a force Of
1000 hg .!ting men, in the revolution
ridden country. This will be supple
mented by a large naval force con-
sisting of the cruisers Denver and Cal
ifornia, and several other smaller YES
sells.
The State Departments action in
requesting the President to send
troops to Nicaragua, although it does
not amount to a declaration of war,
s,S3 an important precedent in the
relations of this country with the Lat
in-American republics. AS far back
as the early part of July the United
States was requested by Nicaragua,
to aid in maintaining peace, protect
ing American life and property, and
helping otherwise to restore normal
conditions. The Nicaraguan govern
ment plainly confessed it's inability to
cope with the Mena rebellion.

ALLEGED RESUL 7 Of
WALDO 5 EXPOSE
May Weaken Investigation
of Owners of Resorts
Now in Progress.
ANXIETY APPARENT.
List of Patrons of a Series of "Un-
raidable" houses Catered TO Young
Girls in Teens.

New York, Aug. 28.-The direct
charge was made at the Offices of the
district attorney today that the ac-
tion of Police Commissioner Waldo in
giving out last night the names of the
various owners of places on the Do
lice suspect list was for the purpose
of beclouding the issue. It was as
serted that it was hoped by the police
that in thus showing who were the
owners of the various places where
gambling went on they would force
the owners to act and make as mild
as possible the various Investigations
now in progress.
In the list as given out there
were well-known names and in
one case that of Congressman Levy
The latter sent an immed-
late and caustic Letter to
Waldo declaring that after he had
failed by law to dispossess the tenants
he sold the place for far less than it
was worth
There was CONSERVATION in certain
circles today over the report that the
district attorney has been able to Sc
cure possession of the list of patrons
of a series of "unraidable" houses and
flats in this city which catered entire
ly to girls only in their teens. This
list was marked by the managers OF
the resorts with data much of it un-
printable. Because OF the prominence
of the patrons wnose names are now
in the possession of the prosecutor
the report that they are to be sub
poenaed and forced to testify has
caused alarm among them.
District Attorney Whitman will go
to Millbrook, N. ", tonight to confer
with Justice Golf who has been as
signed to conduct the graft prosecu-
tions. At that visit it is expected an
arrangement will be made whereby
the graft probe, with Golf sitting as a
committee magistrate will be made as
broad in it's scope as possible.

Half the city is completely cut off,
Public buildings are inadequate to
