ERADICATION OF LEPROSY
RETARDED BY POLITICS

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Politics
is retarding the eradication Of lep-
rosy in the Hawaiian Islands, all
though the dread disease is gradually
growing less common through the
dying off of the natives, according to
= report received today by the United
States public health service from
Surgeon George w. Mccoy. Recon-
mendation that periodical examina-
ton be made of every one in the
islands, says DIR. Mccoy, cannot be
carried out because the increased tax
that would have to be levied is fought
bitterly.
DIR. Mccoy describes Molokai. the
leper settlement, as a veritable gar
den of Eden. in which the inmates do
not toll and around which no guard
is thrown. He recites, as proof of the
happy situation of the unfortunates,
the remarkable fact" that frequent
ly when a member of the colony is
cured and authorized to leave, "a re-
quest to be permitted to remain is
frequently made"

WHO REJECT PUPILS
Prof. Weiner Declares They

High school teachers who reject
certain pupils because they do not
alive up to the recommendations of
sesthose who declared them eligible for
the school were roundly scored today
by Professor William Wiener, princi-
pal of the Central High School. The
principal spoke at the semi-annual
meeting of the New Jersey High
School Teachers Association. held in
The Public Library.
-. Il should say that teacher is heart
sibless who would reject pupils who
income to them recommended as capa-
- bic of taking up high school studies'
said Professor Wiener ut seems to
me that these are the very pupils to
whom the teachers should devote the
bulk of their energies.
IF ! were a member of the Board
Of Education" he continued, II would
ssssay that such "a teacher is not doing
shis or her duty. | should say you are
stalking your money under false pre-
q. lenses. The most important asset we
have is the child. and | think it is
fsBn unnecessary waste if we do not
obtain the most of this asset"
Professor Wiener was scheduled to
bpeak on "Home Study" and declared
> that through system of presenting
i the various studies under the most
Favorable circumstances at the Gem
Ea4tral High School the period of home
study had been greatly reduced for
some of the pupils and wholly abol-
ished among the brighter pupils The

and declared that the entire 1,5O0
pupils looked after themselves during

too many. DR.. Stevens asserted that
during these visits she estimated

POISONED AFTER
EATING STOVE BLACKING

Mrs. Martin Berry. of 124S Broad
street. polished her stove a few days
ago. There was nothing unusual
in that But her two-year- old son
martin with the inquisitive eyes of
childhood. watched the operation.
His interest was more on the polish
than on the stove. and when his
mother wasn't looking he managed
to get hold of it. Then he ate the
contents.
Martin today is in a serious con-
dition at the City Hospital. After
eating the polish, Martin was taken
suddenly ill., The family physician
was called but was unable to relieve
the child because he was at a loss
for an antidote. not knowing the in
gradients of stove polish.
He has responded to the treatment
at the hospital and the physicians
believe he will recover.

ORDER OF A MASTER in

that the pupils should have taken
more part in the discussion.
Herbert w. Dutch, principal of the
Montclair High School, who was
scheduled TO speak, was unable to be
present, and his place was taken by
Superintendent Bliss, of the Mont
clair public schools. He declared
that criticism of the public schools
was welcomed, but held that such
criticism should be founded on actual
knowledge of the problems discussed,
and not on hearsay and guesswork.
Mr.. Bliss quoted from a periodical
which condemned the practise of
home study, and pointed out one case
where a pupil had been given seventy
problems to solve There is no ques
ton that such method of home study
is unjust and outrageous said Mr..
Bliss; "bnt the only way, in which
home study can be abolished alto
gether is by lengthening the school
hours.
IT should say that the pupil who
spends several hours in the evening
at a moving picture theatre, having
his mind infamed by lurid scenes, is
in far less better condition for his
work at school the next day than the
boy who had spent several hours at
home study" declared Mr.. Bliss. He
concluded with the statement that he
believed home study is necessary for
the progress of the present school
system.
DIR. W. A. Wetzel, principal of a
Trenton high school, ended the dis
cussion on Home Study" by telling
what means have been taken in Tren-
ton to solve the problem. About 100
members of the association were
present.

FEDERAL CANNONS

Ell PASO, Tex, April 19.-The Mex
lean federal garrison at Juarez found
itself in predicament today Some
daring person had made away with
the ammunition and the breach
blocks of all cannon and machine
guns, rendering the pieces useless.
Complaining the situation was the
fact that during the siege of Naco.
Sonora, a large shipment of amuni-
ton, was sent through the United
States for the relief of General Ojeda,
and now Colonel Juan N. Jacquez finds
himself IN command of plenty of men
at Juarez. but with virtually no ar
tlllery and little ammunition.
Jos Pierce, who was a Madero Off
cial in the border town, was arrested
but the breach locks, which may be
duplicated only after much expense

lean consular officials declare the am
munition was shipped to Naeo by per
mission of the United States customs
and military officials here. But the
car was not permitted to cross to the
Mexican side at Naco, Ariz., and re-
mains held there by order of ammu
milton officials. Juarez, it is predict
ed. soon may need the ammunition,
as well as the breach blocks.
Pesos fluttering around the forty
fiVe-cent mark have caused somewhat
of a panic along the border not only
in banking. but in mercantile circles.
Foodstuff prices are soaring in Chi
huahua City and Juarez.
The Eel Paso banking exchange is
keeping one point below the Mexico
City peso mark. Uneasiness, which
has brought the price of the silver
certificates lower than in many years,
is blamed on the growing revolution
and the bankers misgiving of the re-
serve fund at the Mexican capital.

Polar Plunge Is the Greatest Dance of the Day

M EW YORK.-Some folks say that

They are all wrong. The greatest

into a tank where the ice is begin

Silver King, the dancing polar bear
of the New York geological park, dis
covered the new dance and immediate

how the new fad had taken hold on
him. For a time Matilda liked dane

latest steps in the tank she was not

In fact, to show her resentment, Ma
tilda "walloped" Silver King a few
times on the chin, but finally he in
duced her to get into the tank with
him and try waltzing in three feet of
water.
At first Matilda did not like the new
dance, but finally she decided to try
and be agreeable. After the first les

the tank dancing was far superior to
that on the. hot concrete of the den
