POLICE IN FIERCE
FIGHT WITH STRIKERS
Two Dying and Is Seriously
Wounded in Syracuse.

Two men are at the point of death
in the hospital, twenty-five others are
seriously wounded, while many are
under arrest, and Syracuse, N. Y, is
under martial law, as the result of
street riots in which the police clash
ed with frenzied Italians among the
275O union workmen who are on strike
for increased wages.
It was in the shadow of the great
tower of the Cathedral of the Immacu-
late Conception that the rioting had
its beginning. The old rectory Of
Bishop John Grimes is being razed to
make way for a new Episcopal resi-
dence.
Striking Italians started a demon
stration, and fifty policemen were sent
out in response to a riot call. The ar
rival of the officers seemed to be the
signal for an onslaught, and in a few
moments a bloody battle was in pro
gress. The Italians welded clubs and
hurled stones. The policemen fired
first over the heads of the strikers tc
frighten them Then they lowerei
their weapons.
Patrolman Mannheim was the first 70
fall. He was hit on the head with o
brick. Officer Britbeck was close to
Mannheim, and he dubbed Joseph Coco.
the man who had wounded Mannheim,
and arrested him.
For a time it looked as if the Ital-
ians might overcome the officers. They
we're determined and they were almos
crazed But the police fought them !
hard and the strikers began to retreat |
The police, many Of them cOverc- |
with blood, and some Of them 50 bad |
ly wounded that they were disabled |
in about twenty-five Of tn
rioters. OF these twenty-five arreste
ten ow them were hurt.
At least three Italians were shot, one
IN the abdomen and two in the thighs
We're called and the police
Kept the strikers back with drawn re
7olvers while the wounded men were
.aken to hospitals.

SCUTARI GIVEN
70 The POWERS

tuTsd Fortress.
TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION
A Continental Crisis Is Relieved by
the Change of Attitude of King
Nicholas.

Al the close of the ambassadors
conference in London an official com
munication was issued, reading as fol
lows:
The fact that the king Of Monte.
negro has placed the fate of Scutari in
the hands OF the powers is a matter
of great satisfaction. The governments
of the powers will now consider what
arrangements shall be made in the
immediate future in regard to the
town.
The ambassadors will meet again
on Thursday"
King Nicholas of Montenegro, in his
telegram to Sir Edward Grey an
nouncing his decision, says Of Austria's
threats of coercion:
My dignity and that of my people
do not permit me to submit to iso.at-
ed imposition. For this reason the fate
of Scutari is left in the hands of the
great powers"
Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign
minister, made the announcement that
Mon enegrO had Internationally placed
the question of the future of Scu. ari
in the hands of the European powers.
The decision reached by King Mich
oas at the last moment had the effect
OF relieving Immediately the tension
in European politics. 1t caused un-
bounded satisfaction to diplomats and
the general public.
It is hoped that this action of Mon
teuegro will do away with all neces-
sity for military incursions into AL
bania such as Austria and Italy were
contemplating against Essad Pasha,
david Pasha and other independent
leaders.
On the other hand the German for
eign office says there is no evidence
that any concrete step in this direc-
ton has yet been taken, and doubt is
expressed by German officials as to |
the veracity of the reports that Monte
negro has already evacuated the city |
No date for the evacuation of Sou
tari by the Montenegrin troops wGs
given in the communication received |
from Cettinje, but there is reason tc |
believe that the German minister in |
the Montenegrin capital received as
surances from King Nicholas that the
first steps would be taken within
twenty-four hours
When King Nicholas took possession
Of Scutari on April 23, after a six
months siege, which cost the lives of
thousands of MoDtenegrins and Turks,
he declared that he would hold the
city until the last drop of Montenegrin
blood had been split.
As the European powers had decid.
ed that Scutari was to form part of
the future autonomous state Of AL
bania, a crisis was brought about that
Is now ended
It was suggested that the king of
receive territorial com
for giving uo Scutari and
that his majesty would accept this
)ffer.

I desire to quote Just two letters on
this subject in conclusion. DR.. \, ..
Winship, the famous educator and lee
turer, says:
Have you ever heard OF any educa-
tional argument for state uniformity III
text books other than that of ~cheapness:
"Have you ever known any state to
adopt a set of books in which many or
them were in use in any city educational
~ prominent where the school board was
free to adopt the best?
Have you ever known a board which
selects books under state uniformity on
which were not political officials and in
which several of the board were. not APP
pointed by political officials and where
politics were not mixed up in the re-
suits?
"Have you ever known a state adop-
tiCl in which it was not customary for
the publishers to be urged to employ po-
lit cal lawyers to influence the board in
the interests of their looks? %(Signcd):
"A. e. Winship." r.
This from the state of Washington:
State uniformity has proved anything
but satisfactory in this state through a
period of years. l am positively and un-
qualinedIy opposed to the system. (Sign-
ed r. E. Bryan, superintendent of Ed
%ucation, state of Washington

ticle dealing with uniformity by the edi-
tor of that publication. 1t Is from TINS
article that my Information Is derived
and it does not parallel the
Mr.. Husband has in any respect. Two
ex-statc superintendents. Messrs. Ira G.
Hoyt and j.. W. Anderson, say that. uni
formity and state publication were mis-
cradle failures. Pupils pay as much for
books in California as they do for first
class books purchased from private con-
Germs elsewhere and in addition the state
constantly loses money on the venture.
We are told tina in a single year the
state has had to appropriate the sum
of $405, 0G3 .23, and this did not include
the cost ,of the buildings to keep the
plant running. Figures given in that
article prove that the cost to the pa
irons is as much in California as they
are in North Dakota for the same grade
of text books and that the state is los
ing many thousands of dollars annual
ly.
Every statement made in either of my
articles can be absolutely backed up by
competent proof.
No higher authority Is wanted on ed
ucational topics than the men who OPP
pose this scheme and l name just these
few; all of whom are so well and favor

GENERAL QUESTIONS

with reference to it's membership as the
authority in adopting grade text books?
Yes, G2; no. 90

Can anyone deny, now, my statement
that uniformity is not viewed with favor
by Il large majority Of school people Of
Indiana?
My proposition that it is not an eco
nomical proposition must stand until bet
ter figures than have been given are pro-
duced.
That it is unsuccessful is in accord
ance with the strongest kline of evidence
and the testimony Of people who know,
not politicians who want to make an i'm
preston by appearing to champion the
cause of the laborer and tenant. No
body, in this state, I hope, would make
harder the conditions or life of the la
boring, or poorer. people. But we think
it is not a favor to force upon this or n
other class a lot of cheap, inferior books
which instead of a help will be a real

ucation worth while.
IF you desire, sincerely, to give re-
lief where relief would be appreciated,
pass a free text book law. but in the
name of common justice and real econo-
my we ask that you do not place an i'm
passaDle barrier between the children
Of North Dakota and the hundreds of
superior books that could never be adopt
cd under uniformity, where cheapness in
price has always counted for far more
than merit. .
Mr.. Husbands suggestion hat other
motives than the best interests of the
schools of the state may have influenced
the persons who oppose his bill. This
is very poor taste. The integrity Of the
men and women who constitute the Of
ficers INC executive committee of the
North Dakota Education association IS
unimpcachable. They are opposed to
this bill to a person. In my former ar
ticle, which Mr.. Husband has criticised,
l quoted some state superintendent and
men Of national reputation. l do not
now what interests may or may not
be working fur or against this bill at
the capitol, but / have in my possession
a letter from a party at Bismarck assur-
ing me that his support would never be
given this bill which seems to be SO sat-
(naming a certain publishing housed. The
fact, if it be a fact, that certain interests
favor this Measure should not mitigate
against the, bill if it has merit behind it.
That it is lacking in merit, many affirm.
Mr.. husband has much to say about
California and how We have been mis-
representing conditions there under uni
formity. In writing o different parts
Of the country for information, | obtain

EGYPT'S GREEN SUN.
A Phenomenon That Was Commented
Upon by the Ancients.

UPON ny tTC
Tie appearance of n green light ut
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly 50 because In the
clear air OF Egypt the tints OF sunset
are peculiarly distinct.
As the sun there dcsccnds nearer
and nearer to the. horizon and Is i'm
mcnscIy enlarged and flaming it sud
denly becomes for an instant n bril-
]iantly green color. and Immediately Il
series OF green rays Suffuses the sky IN
many directions, well night to the &c
NTH. The same phenomenon appears at
sunrise, but to q smaller extent. Some
times, Just as the last part Of the suns
disk vanishes, its color changes from
green to blue, and SO also after it has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often is green. while toward the zenith
1t is blue.
This was alluded to in Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem OF life
and night that Of death, and the noe
turnal sun. being identified with Osiris.
thus rendered Osiris king OF the dead.
The setting sun w:Is green; therefore
Osiris, us the nocturnal deity OF the
dead, was painted green. The splendid
collins Of the high priests Of Ammoh
frequently depict the green sun II
the funeral deities are all cOlored
green.
There are innumerable instances in
the Egyptian relies Of representations
relative to death being cOlored green.
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints Of sunrise and sunset.
