Dear MIR. Editor
Allow me through your valuable papers
to publish the following remarks.
Some time AGO in @'St. Croix Avis l saw
~ advertisement, signed by Mr.. Th0s. Ash,
Principal Of the Ch]ristinnsted Higher Grade
School. and telling that be was securing
the services Of q trained, experienced and
competent teacher to collabogNte with him"
etc.
That of course may be a very good idea
and | can't have amy objection to the carry
ing out Of thus plan. But Mr.. Ash adds IN
his advertisement, TINT he is doing 50 '.mjh
tie uppyordI Of the School Bourd," though
he has not asked for and of course also not
pot permission to refer to the School Board
though the Board has nothing ut all to do
with the appointment of teachers ut private
schools, and though neither the Board nor
the School Director, before this advertise
mcut was published, had any ldea that NJ
Ash was gong 10 increase the teaching staff
at his school.
have therefore twice asked Mr.. Ash TO
recall III the papers those words about the
School Board, bul us he has not done so, ut
least not IN Il satisfactory way, [ hereby huve
TO state, that MIR. Ash had no right ut all to
refer to the Board, thorely giving the pub
lie the impression, that the Board took over
the guarantee for the teacher he is intend
In9 to appoint.

suggestion; as [ had no previous Intention
OF going to the press, nor Of referring ter

The notice embodies the impressions re-
crived at those interviews.
That I misunderstood the Chairman and
have, at least, attempted to satisfy him, can
SO | suppose-be inferred from what he
has written.

THE AVIS.

Wednesday, 2olh October, 1913.

Saturday TIE 25th inst. being the day
appointed as q Day Of Thanksgiving for
preservation during The hurricane 8enson,
the usual services We're hold in the ch urches.
The weather on Saturday was not very
favourable for outdoor sports. a drizZIing
rain falling for q good part Of the day, mep-
suriDg, however, IN Cbristiansted only one
line. This small quantity contrasts with
what was measured here on Monday morning,
namely 1873 lines. Nearly the whole Of this
fell between half past 6 and s on Sunday
evening. There was also Il good deal Of
thunder and lightning.
limo of rain was measured in Chris
tianstcd yesterday morning and G8 TINS
morning. At Est. Sally's Fancy II lines
was measured on Monday morning and 2
lines yesterday morning.
We are indebted to Mr.. Jean Petersen,
Flederiksted, for the following 5 lines of
rain measured sunday morning, 9 lines on
Monday morning, II up to ) .. m. We
hope to learn that tins encouraging fall or
something similar, has been pretty general
throughout the lslard.
Tho $. s. st. Croix arrived at Frederiksted
at 6 O'Clock on Monday morning. Among her
passengers was Administrator Schmicgelow
from Donmark.
In another column will be found an article
on motorculture reprinted from the Times
Weekly Edition Of 10 September.
1t will be seen that the writer OF The arti-
Gle has q vGy high opinion of the advantage
to agriculture which the general introduce
ton OF internal combustion engines in shat
branch of industry would involve.
1t is surprising to read that in a country
like England such engines, though they "hayo
received some amount of attention for farm
ing purposes have not been seriously stu
died. The writer describes the immense
use that is made Of machines moved by
tractor engines in Canada and urges the en-
eouragement of their use in England by the
adoption of cooperation OF by pecuniary aid
from the Government.
In reading this Qrticle we were impressed
by the similarity in position between the
English farmers and planters in st. Croix,
the difference being that what is only aaciS-
ed in regard to them has already passed that
stage among US, and has been actually
adapted
In referring to this matter we have no
desire to reopen q recent discussion in this
paper, which indeed referred to q simple
question, the measurement of certain pieces
of land, a question which had been settled.
The introduction of the motor-plough here
in St. Croix was undertaken after full discus
sion ly the Agricultural Society and after
discussion in the Colonial Council in re-
gard to the n cans advanced for pro-
curing it, as also the recommendation

CHILDREN FREED HIM.
Brooklyn Tailor Released From Jail
by Little Appetites and Lungs.

New York, April 14.-Louis Druck-
er. a ladies' tailor of Brooklyn, owes
his release from jail to the appetltes
and lungs of his eight children.
Samuel Cohen, who won a judgment
for SIS against Drucker and had him
sent to Jail to anguish for fifteen days
because he refused to pay, lost the
joy of his triumph a few hours later
when Mrs. Drucker, wife of the i'm
prisoned father, appeared at the Cohen
home together with her eight chill
dren, demanding that Cohen feed her
family.
She left her clamorous brood to
howl at Cohen's door. After hours of
this Cohen, half in pity and half in
desperation, was forced to send for
bread and milk to feed the children.
Driven to further discontinue by
neighbors who maliciously congratu-
lated him on the sudden addition to
his family, Cohen gave in and led the
children home with the promise he
woul get their father out of jail.

PEOPLE TO BLAME
"Turkey Trot" and "Tango''
Made Immoral by Public.
Illinois Vice Commission Try
ing to Clean Up Chicago.

Chicago, April 14.-Opinions that the
dances We're ''just what people made
them were expressed by witnesses be-
fore the Illinois vice commission to-
day. Roy ]. Jones whose license as a
cafe proprietor was revoked because of
dances permitted by him in his places.
testified he saw no objection to that
form of amusement
you consider those dances an art? %
Jones was asked.
We'll, they are artful, if not art,
1t depends largely on what people make
them"
Jones agreed to eliminate suggestive
dancing from his place if he were per-
mitted to resume business. He said
dancing and cabaret shows were the
result of competition between cafes.
and if all tango dancing was pro-
hibited the cafes still would prosper.
Lieutenant Governor Barratt ONHara
chairman of the commission, said it
was the purpose of the investigators CO.

rid Chicago of immoral cafes and to
keep watch on conditions for the next
two years William F. Boiler, a po-

BOOM SOUTH AMERICA
Chill, Peru and Bolivia All Clamoring
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is Cause.

New York April 14.-"I believe that
nowhere else in the world, the United
States not excepted, such intense in
terest is taken in the progress of work
on the Panama canal as in the western
republics of South America. Chilli,
Peru and Bolivia all are clam oring for
railroads to bring the mineral re-
sources from the interior to the coast
Get ready for the Panama canal:
get ready for the biggest boom South
America ever had, seems to be the
watchword, especially through Bo-
livia.''
James L. Rawlinson, an American
civil engineer, who recently returned
from Bolivia, expressed himself thus.
He was one of the engineers closely
identified with the building of the new
railroad connecting the rivers of Bo-
livia with the headwaterS of the
Amazon.
st tell you,' said Mr.. Rawlinson at
the Waldorf-Astoria, nobody has any
idea of the enormous mineral re-
sources of that country. Until a few
years ago the only commerce carried
on there had to be done on muleback
or on the backs of natives, who were
the only ones that could scale the
passes and ravineS. Now We shall be
able to get necessary machinery into
the country and develop the mines
has just been completed, viz, the
Ororo, which reached a height of 49,
600 feet, the highest railroad in the
world

coming into the country"

.Bedford's Hope at the Gem.

A big Cole motor car piloted by H.
J. Pink featured last week in the
making of a thrilling film of a wild
14-mile race with one of the fast
Southern Pacific trains between San
Fernando and Tropico.
The story of the picture play, which
is entitled "Bedford's Hope" hinges
on the necessity of the hero and hero
inc beating a fast train by machine in
order to foil the cunning villain of the
play. Barney Furey and Miss Alice
Skinner were the hero and heroine
who took part in the dangerous ride.
The setting for the play is ideal.
ward parallels the Southern Pacific
tracks. A speed of IS miles an hour
was necessary to outstrip the train, but
nevertheless the car won.
Pink has the highest praise for the
nerve of Miss Skinner, the plucky lit
tie woman who rode in the car. I'VE
took a chance at the crossing just
above Tropico that I would never
have taken in the world if she had not
urged me to try it, said Pink after
wards. I'VE had only the barest lead
on the train and of course it was nee
essary for me to slow a little on the
curve We went across the track on
two wheels and I honestly believe the
engine brushed our rear tenders. The
engineer told us afterwards that he
never dreamed that we would make it
and it was a closer call than 1 ever
want to take again, but it did not seem
to worry Miss Skinner in the least"
The films were given a private run

CONTEST IN D. A. R.
Candidates for Presidency of Associa-
ton in Sharp Fight.

Washington, April 14.-Before the
twenty continental congress of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton was called to order today it was
evident that sharp fight was to mark
it's proceedings. The exchange of
notes between Mrs. VIM. c. Story, a
candidate for the presidency of the
organization and Mrs. Mathew t.
Scott, retiring chief, in which the first
named asked that partisan methods
be abandoned caused a stir. There
were other divisions of opinion and
altogether, stormy session was in
prospect.
Mrs. John Miller Horton and Mrs.
Charles B. Bryan of Memphis, are
the other candidates.
More than 1900 state chapters are
represented and As state regents are
present. The delegates when they
gathered, looked forward to the ad-
dresses of President Wilson and Sec
retarV Bryan.

ROBBERY SOLVED.
Ottawa Mystery Fathomed; Burglar
in Jail.

Ottawa, April 14.-Goods of the
value of about 500 of the haul made
from the Armstrong jewelry store,
Monday night, have been recovered.
The greater part was found in this
city; about two hundred dollars worth
were recovered from the suspect ar
rested at Kansas City Wednesday.
When ]. G. Armstrong and Sheriff
Nick Johnson went to Kansas City
Friday to identify the goods he found
on the paroled man Chas. Devine, they
carried with them the information
that jewelry valued at $500 had been
recovered here. 1t was known that
5000 worth had been found in De-
vines possession, leaving about three
hundred dollars worth unaccountSd
for 1t was hoped that the prisoner
might be induced to divulge its where
abouts. They returned last night,
having Devine in custody, but without
the desired knowledge as to the dis
posal of the missing jewelry.

GREAT ROUND BUILDING
New Yorlx's New Court House Will
Suggest the Coliseum.

New York. April 14.-Plans for New
York county's new court house which
became public today made It appear that
the metropolis is to have its first great
round building. Pictures of the proposed
structure suggest the coliseum with a
replica of the Pantheon in Rome about
the central court or main lobby, which
rises to the height of three stories.
To the relief Of the sQuare-cut skyscrap-
er of downtown New York this immense
circular structure, 500 feet in diameter,
will be erected over site covering four
city blocks, which center at Worth and
Center streets, within stones throw of
the new municipal building and City Hall
Square. The building will contain 81 court
rooms and will cost approximately s1o,-
600 600.
