DUNNE OPPOSES SEX HYGIENE
Illinois Governor Would Bar Its Study
From Schools.

Champaign, H., Dec 12.-Governor
Edward t. Dunnes announced oppo-
sition to personal purity" courses in
the school! contained in a letter re-
ceived by President James of the Uni.
versity of Illinois gave promise of a
fight in the next board of trustees
meeting, when the proposal to estab-
lish a sex hygiene course in the uni
yersity Is considered
Il would not permit my young and
innocent daughters to be sent to eth.
er public or private school where
sex hygiene is discussed in public,
wrote Governor Dunno.
Il honestly fear that if sex hygiene
be taught in schools and young boys
and girls in the open classroom are
made aware of things which may be
taught in the line of sex hygiene, it
will probably create in their young
minds prurient curiosity, which will
induce rather than suppress immoral
ity and unchasity."

South African Magnate Shot
Down in Street.
EXPECTED TO RECOVER
Attempted Assassination Believed to
Be Outcome of Bitterness Aroused
of Recent Strike.

Johannesburg, Union of South At
rica, Dec 12-An attempt was made
to assassinate Sir Lionel Phillips, the
leading gold mining magnate of
South Africa Three shots were fired
at him. One bullet lodged in his neck
and another in one of his thighs. His
condition is declared to be not grave.
The would-be assassin was arrested.
The attempt was made while he
was walking on Commissioner street
1t is supposed to have been an out
come of the bitterness aroused
against the mine owners owing to
the dissatisfaction of the miners in
connection with the conditions of
settlement of the strike movement in
September.
AT that time series of riots oc-
Cured in which about 100 miners
were killed and many wounded.
The grievances of the men were
chiefly concerned with the great NOR
tality in the mines and the refusal of
| the mine owners to recognize the
unions. They were eventually forced
| to accept the owners terms.
Sir Lionel Phillips was closely iden.
titled with the late Cecil Rhodes and
Alfred Belt and he is a partner in the
firm of Wernher, Belt a. Co. He has
| lived in johannesburg since 1889.
In 1896 Sir Lionel was sentenced to
death at Pretoria for participation in
| the Jamestown raid, together with
John Hays Hammond, George p. Far
rar and Colonel Frank Rhodes. The
sentence was later commuted to a
| fine of $125,000 and Punishment.
The assailant of Sir Lionel Phillips
was later identified as a Dutch store
keeper named Nissun.

ed the possibility of strike of teach
ers and a gigantic parade of protest
but it was understood that Mrs Young
herself was opposed to any move to
obtain her reinstatement and frowned
upon the proposed strike.
Though Mayor Harrison issued a
statement expressing surprise and re-
gret at the action of his appointees
on the board of education in forcing
Mrs. Young to quit by secret ballot,
Dean Walter T. Sumner, who led the
fight for Mrs. Young's retention,
places the blame squarely upon the
mayor.
