mitchell RESIGNS POST
IN LETTER TO WILSON
Port Collector as Leader OF
Fusion Cause Would Still
Possible Criticism.

John Purroy Mitchell, the fusion can
didate for Mayor, rendered his res
ignation as Collector OF the Port Of
New York 10 President Wilson in a
letter forwarded to Washington yes
terday.
It is understood the Collector took
that course in order that the President
might, If he wished, relieve himself OF
any embarrassment due TO criticism
from any one because a federal office-
holder was devoting his time TO politi-
cal matters.
AS will be noted, the resignation is
not a formal document, but personal
letter 10 the President which the Pres
ident may use as a resignation II he
sees fit. Collector Mitchell points out
that the office is so well organized as
to make II improbable that the gov
ernment's interests would suffer during
the month that remains OF the cam
paign. However, he feels ii duty TO
cffer his resignation 10 the President
under the circumstances.
If the President expresses a desire
that Mr.. Mitchell remain in office he
will undoubtedly not press his resigna-
ton. There was a feeling here last
night that the President might take
Just that attitude. So far as could be
learned here last night the President
had no one in mind for the place.
A friend Of Frank l.. Polk. who was
mentioned for the post at the time il
went to Mr. Mitchell, has told friends
that under no circumstances would Mr..
Polk take II now.
Collector Mitchers letter, which was
made public at the Custom House last
night, follows:
October s. 1913.
"The President. Washington.
MY Dear Mr.. President: / beg
hereby to tender my resignation from
the Office of Collector Of the Port OF

SLAYS SON AND SELF
Wife of Queens County Jail
Warden Ends Two Lives.

Seized with a sudden attack OF
mania, Mrs. Julia Schleth, wife OF
Henry O. Schleth. for several years
warden of the Queens County Jail at
Long Island City, shot and killed her
four -year-old son, early this morning,
and then took her own life.
Warden Schleth had finished a late
round Of the institution and was near
his apartments when he heard two re-
volver shots. He ran in. to find his
child dead on n bed and his wife lying
on the floor unconscious from bullet
wound in her forehead. She died within
a few minutes.
No reason was assigned Tor the
woman's act beyond the fact that re-
Gently she had been victim OF ner-
vous trouble, and the Jail surround
ings had seemed to have depressing
effect upon her. Schleth recently was
informed Of his promotion to the post
of warden Of the Raymond street jail
in Brooklyn, and was to have maue
the transfer within a few weeks.

NO PLUMAGE TO COME

I'm view Of this prohibition, says
the statement, the collectors OF GUS
toms have been instructed TO direct IN

ellers who arrive with aigrettes or
other prohibited plumage in their hats
that such trimmings must be removed
from the hats and turned over TO the

Secretary McAdoo said he was

From The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington, oct. S.-Gay millinery
received an awful blow from the
Secretary Of the Treasury to-day. when
he decided that even plumage worn on
hats must be barred from importation
and issued orders that customs in
spectors must divest women of their
plumage before permitting them to
leave the docks.
II was pointed out by Secretary Nc
Adoo that Paragraph 34I Of the new
tariff law prohibits the importation or
"aigrettes. egret plumes. or so-called
osprey plumes. and the feathers quills'
heads, wings, tails, skins or parts or
skins Of wild birds. either raw or man
ufactured, and not for scientlnc or
educational purposes" and that there
was no way to avoid a strict inter-
pretation of the law.

the efficiency Of the teacher is impaired.

City School Heads Dismiss Mrs.
Bridget Peixotto After Eigh-
teen Years Service by
Vote of 27 to 5.
HER LAWYER WILL APPEAL
DR.. Ira S. Vile in Protesting
Against Action Says Only
Business of Body Is to
Employ Efficient
Teachers.

Found guilty OF the high and mex
cusable crime of motherhood by the
Board Of Education yesterday, Mrs.
Bridget NJ. F. Peixotto, a teacher for
eighteen years, was dismissed from the
department. She lost her pace by a
vote of 81 10 ..
Undismayed by the decision, Mrs.
Peixotto's attorney, Alfred J. Talley.
of No. l65 Broadway, former Civil
Service Commissioner, said yesterday
he would take the case into court.
This decision is vicious. 1t is
against public policy and public moral
ity," said Mr.. Talley.
Until yesterday Mrs. Pcixotto was a
teacher in Public School II. in The
Bronx. She was married in April,
1912, to F. r. Peixotto. an insurance
broker, whose office is at No. % John
stree. and his home at No. Al ST. Mich
Clas Terrace.
Advised Leave Of Absence.
Her last day in school was February
8. The day following she notified Dis
trict Superintendent Joseph r. Taylor
that she was i'll. This illness had moth
ing 20 do with maternity. Two days
after that the teachers physician COM
municating with the Board Of Educa-
ton. advised an indefinite leave Of abb
sence.
Within a few days, Mrs. Peixotto
says. she sent word through her ply
sician that a child was expected.
The district superintendent lost no
time in formulating both complaint
and request for resignation. II was
stated that the first report TO the board
gave the cause Of illness as ear and
nose trouble. Whatever the merits OF
that feature of the case. on April I
Mrs. Peixotto became a mother.
She was summoned TO trial, set for
May 2S last, on charge OF neglect OF
duty in remaining away from school
The case was put over TO June lo
Then the committee on elementary
schools recommended her dismissal. but
final action was postponed until Sep
tember
This move caused DR.. Ira S. Vile 10
characterize the action Of the members
as cowardly, but what he said did not
have the effect OF bringing the matter
TO a head at that time. II went over
from the date set in September until
Yesterday, when DR.. VILE. speaking in
behalf OF Mrs. Peixotto. made this
appeal:
The issue in this case is whether
married woman who becomes a mother
is TO be dismissed from the service
You cannot discharge her for being
married but you want to throw her
out because she has borne child. Lit
orally, you seek TO penalize motherhood
"a condition that is strictly not Board

TO DESTROY STOMACH WORMS
Drenehlng Of Ewes 10 Recommended
by Many az Effective cure-Head
In Normal Position.

Many have advised the drenching of
ewes for stomach worms before the
flock goes out to pasture In the
spring, so as to destroy the parasites
that have been harbored through the
winter in the sheep themselves. In adj
dition a few have insisted that the
sheep be drenched in a standing posi-
ton. We have found that getting an
efficient application Of the remedy for
very heavy sheep In this position is
not an easy or even practicable mat
ter. We generally dose our lambs in
a standing position, but for strong
mutton ewes we have found 1t just as
safe to set them on the rump, says a
writer in an exchange. The point In
both positions is that the head must
be thrust back, but held In a normal
position. Authorities who have slaught-
cred sheep Immediately after dosing
have affirmed that the position Of the
sheep while being drenched has prac
tically nothing to do with the rem
edy's going to one stomach or another

of remedy without much Struggling

GOOD LAW FOR COOPERATION
Essential Feature Is That Any Num-
Der Of Persons May Associate
Themselves as Society.

By A. d. WILSON, Minnesota Agricui-
tural College.)
Wisconsin, which may truly be
termed a progressive state, passed a
law recently which should be dupli-
Gated in other states at once. This
law governs the Incorporation of CO.
operative associations and the fees to
be paid for them. An essential fea-
ture of the law Is that any number OF
persons, not less than five, may asso-
ciate themselves as a cooperative as
sociation, society, company. or ex-
change, for the purpose of conducting
any agricultural, dairy, mercantile,
mining, manufacturing. or mechanical
business on the cooperative plan. 1t
provides for the drawing up Of articles
of incorporation and the filing of them
with the secretary of state and regis
ter OF deeds in the county In which
the association is to have Its head
quarters. The fee for filing with the
secretary Of state is $40, with S. addi-
tional for the filing Of amendments.
The fee for filing with the regi7ter Of
deeds is Is cents. The law provides
for the distribution of profits on the
basis Of patronage, that is, only fair
rates Of interest are paid on capital
invested, and profits are distributed
In proportion to the amount of bust
ness done by each individual In the
association. The amount Of stock
that may be held by one person is
limited and each stakeholder is limited
to one vote. The law further pro-
vides a penalty for the use of the
word cooperative" by any organiza-
ton that is not based on true CO
operative principles; that is, any com.
pany that pays profits on capital stock
instead OF on patronage. or does not
comply with the requirements Of the
act, cannot use the term cooper
alive"
Minnesota needs such law: First
to protect It's citizens from being mis-
led by the term cooperative; second
to provide some simple and easy
means of legalizing cooperative asso
Citations; third. to legally establish 6
basis for true cooperation.

Premature Burial.

NJ. Thoinot, professor Of forensic

Medicine, has been lecturing upon
premature burial, an accident the fear
of which is, perhaps, not 80 prevalent
as 1t was In the days Of Edgar Poe.
He gave an interesting description OF
the many inventions devised for the
avoidance of this, including the inser-
ton OF a breathing tube in the mouth
Of the corpse, which Is brought
through the lid Of the coffin and pro
jected from the grave. But he declared
that no precaution was so satisfactory
