sufferers of the worst cases of

Dr. Thomas J. Kemp. recently convicted
OF sending non-mailable matter through

tlce Stafford in Criminal Court No. 1 to

Tertiary. The physician noted an appeal
and was released on s.. 500 bail pending
action of the appellate court. Senator
Duncan L. Fletcher qualified as surety
on the bond.
Kemp was arrested last November. when
post office officials made a wholesale raid
in several cities Of the Union on persons
charged with sending improper literature
through the mails
In disposing of the case. after over
ruling motion for a new trial, Justice
Stafford said the testimony showed that
the physician was not the victim Of a
decoy letter. which might have tempt
ed him to a sudden lapse from virtue,
but that he appeared to be willing to
perform unlawful operation, and
answered the letter telling the cost and
giving other details. The court express
ed regret that the case was not one call
ing for the imposition of a fine. but stated
that the circumstances required that
term of Imprisonment be imposed.
Attorneys John E. Laskey, w. T.. AM
brose and Alfred d. Smith appeared for
the physician. United States Attorney

UNIFORM ACCOUNTING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Gathering of Statistics Discussed at
Meeting of Government
Officials.

That progress is being made toward the
by the public school systems of the
United States was the statement today
of local government officials, who. yester-
day. attended a conference in the office
of Commissioner of Education Philander
p. Claxton. for the purp ose of considering
uniformity in school statistical accounting
and reporting.
Effort is being made to have the bu-
reaus. of education and the census gather
school statistics concurrently and along
identical lines in order that comparisons
in cost of operation of educational sys-
TENS may be made by municipalities of
the same size.
The plan is of particular interest to
local educators and District officials. in
asmuch as a uniform accounting system
will enable the Commissioners to present
to Congress data showing the exact cost
of the operation of Washington's schools
as compared with the cost of the main
tenance of the educational systems of
other cities.
Those in attendance at yesterdays con-
ference were Commissioner Claxton,
Henry r. NJ. Cook, auditor for the board
of education of New York; DR.. William
NJ Davidson, superintendent of schools of
the District: DIR. W. S. Small, principal of
Eastern High School: LIE Grande G.

This Ships Cat Was Saved.
pondence of the London Spectator.

Correspondence Of the London Spectator.
About twenty years ago. when I was
resident in North China, the British
squadron then in far-eastern waters was
steaming out of the port of Chefoo when
a little black cat fell overheard from H.
NJ s. Wanderer At once the ship stop
ped, signaled to her consorts Cat over
board" and the entire squadron came to
a standstill. A boat put off from the
Wanderer and rescued puss, who was
swimming for dear life after the ship.
The officer who told me the story said
the sailors would have been furious IL
the little cat had not been saved, for
not only was she great pet. but they
firmly believed that disaster would follow
if a black cat was allowed to drown.

RECORD PRICES ARE PAID
FOR SIX ALLEY HOUSES
Real Estate Market Being Affected by Clauses
in New Excise Law

or change in the uses will take the
alley out of the resident class.
Another Clause in Law.
The real estate market is affected by
another clause in the new excise law.
After the first of next July no license
for saloon or bar can be granted on a
street where less than 30 per cent of the
frontage is used for business purposes.
This provision has an important bearing
on streets which for the most part
are given up to business, but where some
residences are still to be found
This situation has led to demand for
Such residence property. One plan
winch rs being carried out to some extent
is to buy up the houses with the view OF
turning them into business places, thus
placing the street in the list of those
available for the issue of licenses.
But even with such increases in the
available area ii is thought by those who
nave studied the law that the number Of
saloons will be very much less than is
now anticipated In addition to the zones
or exemption from saloon and their ex-
clusion from resident streets there are
other restrictions which Will be largely
prohibtory.

Simplifed Spelling.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The simplified spoilers are at it again.
1t Is their fourth offense--and defense.
The simplified spelling board and it's ap-
purtenant advisory council have the sup
port of many learned philologists, pho
nologists and etymologists. They have
not yet won popular support. and many
leading academic authorities are still ar
rayed against them.
The human mind-like the human phys
ique-can get used in time to q wide va
riety of discomforts and altered customs
Every new language that is proposed
finds some one willing to learn It's gram
mar; every new religion eSta blished wins
to its standard host Of devotees 1t is
a poor cause that cannot flourish on Bos-
ton Common II nowhere else. There are
ments of learning that were ridiculed
when our grandfathers cultivated the
muse on little oatmeal"
But when violent hands are laid upon
to protest. We spent years of durance
vile in the little red schoolhouse learning
to spell chaos. mechanic" "school"

Now, it seems. if we would be abreast of
these piping times we must write '-caos,'

rangle." We could have misspelled that
way by nature: what was the use of all
the laborious drudgery. if we are now to
unlearn 1t all again? Where is the mirth-
fulness of "laf" the goodness of an

majesty of the ''sfinx.'' the symmetry of

Meetings are to be adjourned ''yung'
people are to be taught to be ''curteus"
it is hereafter my cuntry, tits of thee"
OF course, there is saving Of printer
ink and white paper. But there is loss
of good old friends in familiar words In
these changes which sometimes obliterate
the derivation and the life-history of a
noun or a verb-taking away the family
tree of the language; for words, like peo-
pie. have their proud genealogy.
This particular reform has need of
guile. and patience and deliberateness of
method: to issue an arbitrary list of tele-
scoped spellings every now and then
arouses the combative instinct in those
who cling steadfastly to the spelling of
their fathers as good enough for them.
Maybe the clipped, mutilated, amputated
language will prevail in time, but its tri-
umph is far distant

Cummins Commends Move.

IF senators have before them lists of
names they will be able to ascertain
whether persons claiming to he from their
state, but who really are not. are en-
ployed in the civil service said Senator
Overman.
Senator CLmmins of Iowa commen6ed
the move on the part of Senator Over
man to improve the civil service. He de-
cared that the laws relating to the exc
cution of the civil service needed revi-
sion. and that they are at present in dire
confusion.
Il want the law to provide that the
executive shall have no power to exempt
any class of employees from the civil
service, or to place any class of employees
of the government under the civil serv-
ice, said Senator Cummins. "Any
changes of this kind made in the civil
service should be provided for by law
enacted by Congress.
Senator Overman's resolution, with a
number of proposed amendments, was
finally referred to the committee on civil
service and retrenchment.

CIVIL SERVICE LAWS
CRITICISED IN SENATE
Senator Overman's Resolution
Demanding Data Is Finally
Referred to Committee.

The civil service laws and the manner
in which the civil service has been con-
Quoted came in for much criticism in
the Senate today. A resolution intro
duced by Senator Overman requiring the
civil service commission to furnish the
Senate with information concerning the
number and names of employees under the
civil service, who have been covered into
the service by executive order without
passing examination and for other pur-
poses, was under consideration.
Senator Overman requested that his
resolution be amended so that the num-
Der of civil service employees promoted
for causes other than efficiency be given
by the commission, and also the number
and names of laborers promoted to clerk
ships without regard to their record for
efficiency to do clerical work.
i'Senator Overman had read to the Sen
ate a letter addressed to him by the civil
service commission in which it was shown
that to give the names of $4,000 individ-
uals as required by the resolution would
cost for clerical work about 1900, and
for printing about So7 600
