KAISER SUFFERS THROAT TROUBLE; MUST HAVE REST Subjects Fear Indications Point to Development of Late
 Fathers Ailment Physicians Reports Show Him to be Somewhat Em-
 proved Today

Berlin, Aug. 27-Anxiety lest Chief Marshal Count Eulenberg, of the Im- perlal household, was preparing the public mind for graver news when he announced that the Kaiser must take a complete rest for some time,'' was widely expressed today
 His Majesty's symptoms, as describ- ed by his physicians and by Count Gutenberg Suggest quinzy, but if it is qulnzy from which he is suffering, mo- body can understand why the an- nouncemeqts do not say so plainly, the complaint not ordinarily resulting fatally and the news being conse- quently calculated to reassure the Im- perial patients subjects.
 Inasmuch as the Kaiser's father died of cancer of the throat, any indica- ton of a throat complaint in His Mai esty'S own case naturally gives rise to serious anxiety. If the ruler has been stricken by. malignant disorder, it Is considered extremely probable that his attendants will conceal the fact as long as possible and for this reason the official announcements concerning him are not entirely trusted.
 Accepting his physicians reports, the patient shows improvement today. but is still in considerable pain, some what weak and feverish.

Chicago. Aug. 27-The old saw that a woman ''is as old as she loole'' has not found favor in the eyes of the di- rectors of the Chicago Young Women g Christian Association. They declare that 25 is the dead line between sprightly youth and sober maturity. The boards opinion in this delicate question was Tyetalized in 21 pink slips to as many lodgers at the local r. W. C.. A. The slips invited the girls to leave.
 An indignation meeting was held and the busted ones visited the directors in body. They were told they had passed the dead line and would have to move to make room for younger girls.
 This is no old ladies' i1ome." said Mrs. N. I. Carpenter, the superinten- dent The building cannot be enlarg- ed When q girl reaches the age of 25 she should be perfectly able to take care of herself and we have dozens of applications every day from girls who are young, inexperienced new in the city and who need protection.

BOARD
 DEvOTES ENTIRE MEETING ID BOOKS

Save for few exceptions the recom- nendations made by the special com mittee on text books at the meeting of the board of Education last night, were laid on the table until the next meeting. This action came after the entire meeting last night had, been given over to a discussion of this vital and important subject. And after discussing the various recom- mendations for about two hours there was grave danger of the whole re- port being land over indefinitely, un- til Attorney John J. Cullinan came forward with an amendment to a mo- tion which had been made, which amendment was to have the report laid over only until the next meeting.
 The special committee on text books comprises: Dr. D. H. Monahan, J. J. Cullinan, W. R. Webster and N. w. Bishop, and was appointed in July. This committee met with com mittees of teachers who had made special studies of all the text books on the various subjects during their vacation days. The report was con- the teachers to very large extent. though some of the books recom- mended by the teachers were not rec commended by the committee.
 Superintendent Charles W. Deane in his monthly report spoke of the CIOWuSO COAO1I1O11S LII IIIG SCIlOOl6, particularly the Map1eood and the high school. He explained that pupils in the Washington school district have requested that they be allowed to attend the Maplewood school and that member of the board have ask ed that these requests be granted, from time to time. MT. Deane said that the Washington school was now overcroWded as was the Maplewood school and for that reason he thought the Washington school district chil- dren should be required to go to that school. He asked the board for in- structions on the matter. The board deferred action until the next meet ing.
 Attorney Cullinan presented a reso- lution which makes an important change in the matter. of selecting which pupils shall attend the fore- noon or afternoon sessions at the high school. There have been com plaints from parents of High school pupils to the effect that Bridgeport pupils were made to attend the after noon sessions of the High school in- stead of the forenoon sessions, where as out-of-town pupils were privileged to attend the forenoon sessions, It appears that the pupils prefer to at- tend High school in the forenoon. The selection as to which pupils will at- tend the forenoon or afternoon ses- sions is made by drawing lots. Tn this drawing the out-of town pupils have been included with the local pupils. MT. Cullinan's resolution was to have the drawing first done among the local pupils so as to give them the first opportunity to attend the forenoon session. The motion was carried.
 The rules which have long been de- layed were again deferred.
 The schools will open for the fall term, Sept. 10.

JURY EMPANELLED,
 TESTIMONY BEGINS IN
 DANBURY MATTERS CASE

Hartford, Aug. 27-with the selection of a jury and the decision of Judge James L. Martin that trial will be carried on five days week, the talk ing of testimony in the Danbury Hat ters' case was commenced. today. It is not expected that this trial will con- sume as much time as the first hear ing of the case, one reason being that several of the witnesses have died since the opening of the original hear ing in 1902
 The last trial of the case occupied jury duty for the present trial are:
 Daniel N. Porter of Thompson, Luzerne c. Holcomb of Granby, A. W. Bristol of Canton. Edgar F. Grid ley of Southington, Ernest K. Tait of Stafford, George O. Stead of Norwich, Samuel Alexander of Hartford, Ever cit L. Kies of Hampton. George Glow CT of Windsor Locks, Thomas P. Nor man of Ledyard, Herbert F. Hunting ton of Mansfield, John Gemmill of Hartford
 The action is brought under that provision of the Sherman antitrust law which makes boycott illegal. The claim of the plaintiffs is that the product of their factory was boycott ed by the members of the matters un- ion and the action is to recover for the losses that were alleged to have been suffered because of the alleged acts of the members of the unions. The case was tried once before and a Judgment was entered for the plain tiffs to recover $222, 900. That judg- ment was set aside by the United States circuit court of appeals, on an appeal. Judge James P. Platt pre- sided with jury at the former trial and that disqualified him from acting in the present trial, which is the req son that Judge Martin is presiding.

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF.

Woodrow Wilson made his first
set speech as a presidential nominee
few days ago, and happily enough
it was to a gathering of farmers in
Pennsylvania.
He journeyed there especially to
meet and talk to the farmers. His
words gave evidence that he has a
quite clear understanding of condi-
lions that interest and affect the
farmers of America, and of what the
government might do to give the
farmer a little fairer show in the
struggle of life. Governor Wilson
has found out, for example, that
some agricultural implements and
machinery, after paying freight to
Europe, are sold in foreign countries
about as cheap as the farmers in
Georgia or New Jersey can buy these
same products. That is where the
American protective tariff gets in its
work and hits the American farmer

THE BLUE RIDGE CONTEST.

The contest over the judgeship of
the Blue Ridge circuit was settled in
favor of Hon. H. L. Patterson by the
democratic state committee, and that
gentleman will succeed Judge N. A.
Morris. The election in Gilmer coun-
ty was declared void. The revela-
lions of Irregularities and fraud
as practiced by political bosses there
were amazing, and without hearing
the evidence given under oath one
could hardly believe that such things
were possible in the good state of
Georgia. The action of the commit
tee is in the interest of fair and
honest elections, and will no doubt
do much towards purifying the poll
tics of Gilmer county as well as have
a beneficial effect throughout the
state The vote of the committee
ton illegal and fraudulent was 20
to 8.
