LOCKED HIMSELF IN TRUNK.
Police Claim in Case of Man Who Says
He Was Robbed.

New York, Nov. AFTER losing an
election bet of 500 and finding himself
unable to pay it, Joseph Cohen, a fur
importers clerk, took the amount from
his firms safe, according to his alleged
confession to the police yesterday, and
then locked himself in trunk in an eff
fort to stage successfully robbery in
which he was to play the role of victim.
A member of the firm, who rescued CO.
hen from the trunk shortly after the
supposed robbery. thought it strange
that the thieves" left behind $4,000
worth of fur, taking only the money in
the safe, and Cohen was closely ques-
toned by detectives about his story that
two well-dressed foreigners had attacked
him and forced him into the trunk, which
locked automatically.
The clerk was arrested and finally adj
mitted, the police say, that he had tried
to obtain money to pay the election
wager made at odds of 4 to | that Aaron
j. Levy, chairman of the assembly board
of managers that impeached Governor
Sulzer, would be defeated.

TELEGRAPHIc CROP NEWS SERVICE
To Be Extended To All States by De-
partment of Agriculture.

Washington, ID. O., Nov. s.--As re
suit of requests from editors and edi
torial associations in many states, tbs
U. S. department of agriculture has an
nounced that the November crop report;
for each state will be supplied to the
newspapers in all states through tht
central we.ther station located in eaet
of the states.
| This is an extension of the experiment
OF telegraphing the state crop returns
to the central weather stations in eacl
of nine states, and having these tele.
grams duplicated at once and mailed t.
the newspapers and agricultural publ
cations. Under this plan newspapers in
80 additional states will now receive full
details of the state crops far more quick
ly than would be possible if these state
crop details were put in the mails in
Washington and had to travel by train
long distances to the more remote states
Under this plan the general summary
of the crops for the United States will
as heretofore, be issued in Washington
for telegraphic distribution. 1t has been
found, however, that the conditions OF
crops within their particular states are
of especial value to the farmers and pro-
ducers, to whom the conditions in their
own state are important in the market
ing of their produce.
Under this plan the department sends
one telegram to the central weather bu-
reau in each state, and within few
minutes after the crop figures for the
state are completed in Washington, the
weather bureau is enabled to mail copies
of the figures from a central point with
in the state to all papers in that state.
Under the code system used, the de-
partment is under the necessity Of tele-
graphing only a few figures, as the fig
ures of previous crops for comparison
are supplied to each weather bureau sta
ton by mail. The cost of the telegram
for each state does not exceed rs cents.
The crop data thus circulated by mail
to the newspapers will give (al full
list of the crops; (b) the average con-
dition of each crop for l0-year periods
in that particular state; lei the eondi-
tion of the state crops for November @.
In the adjoining column will be given
the same data for the United States, so
that the farmers who read these notices
can compare the crops in their state as
of Nov. with the l0-year averages of
their own state, and in the same way
with the average condition throughout
the United States on Nov. 8 and for 10
years.
These state crop reports are not sup
piled to individuals, and are mailed only
to editors of regular publications. The
November state crop reports for the 80
states newly added to the list will be
sent only to the daily papers, the coun-
ty seat papers, and agricultural puBl-
cations. Meanwhile, the department is
preparing lists of small-town weeklies.
and in December the crops reports will
be sent also to the smaller papers.

as firm as a rock. Madame Bernhardt,
who is an enthusiast about the moving
picture, said to me not long ago that
the supreme human value of the stage,
the very question of warm personality,
with which the mechanical can never
compete, will always bring the pendulum
swinging back in favor of the theatre.
There is much to be said for an
amusement which poor man can have
for ten cents. But that is no reason why
the galleries of our theatres at the pres
ent time are empty. As theatre man
ager of some experience / have never yet
found the question of price debated as
reason for empty seats when the play
was really wanted Our galleries are
largely empty because the people are not
getting the plays they want. What the
average theatregoer has always objected
to was paying disproportionate price
for poor seat and poor play together,
when for ten or twenty-five cents he
could sit downstairs in moving picture
house and get something he may be
really interested in"

May Make Suffrage Part
of Their Pro-
gram
NEGOTIATIONS
FOR THIS PURPOSE
Reputation of Militancy,
However, Is De-
manded

| London, Nov. S.-Efforts are being
made to induce the British government
to come to an agreement with the suf-
| fragettes on the basis of a measure Tor
the enfranehisemcnt of women through
means of section of the official pro-
grom of the dominant Liberal party.
Some of the suffragist leaders admit that
this movement has obtained considerable
Roadway, and significant feature OF
the conferences which have been held is
the presence at them OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick William Pethick- Lawrence,
who left the fold of the woman's social
and political union, the militant organ
ization, at the request of Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst and who took with them their
paper Votes for Women. 1t is known
that the government will consider only
compromise based on an unqualified re-
pudiation of the Women's social and
political union and of all its militant
methods. Hitherto the constitutional
suffragists have refused to criticise
formally the actions of their militant
sisters, declared that it was bad taste
in the faces of the common enemy to
question the actions of the militant or
ganization: but several of the prominent
constitutional suffragist leaders express
themselves as willing to abandon their
former attitude in regard to the fighting
section. They have, they declare, be-
come convinced that suppression of the
militants is the only hope of securing
the parliamentary suffrage for women,
which is the only form of political ac-
tivity denied to them in the British
Isles, where they possess the municipal
suffrage and may hold civic office out
side of parliament.

Famous Theatrical Manager Says Nov.

In the November Woman's Home Com.

clear his opinion that moving pictures
are not going to hurt the theatre, but
help it, He-says in part:

The Boy Who Was Whipped Because H,
Couldn't See.

In the November Woman's Home
Companion, Mary Heaton Worse writes
a second Of a series OF articles entitled
'The New Freedom for Little Children"
in which she shows how the Montessori
principle of education may be applied
by the American mother at home. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the article in
which the story is told of one of our dis
carded theories about children:
at is a terrible story, and it seems
strange now to think that we ever could
imagine that we could beat little chill
dren into being less stupid. A friend of
mine, of my own generation, who had
been an unusually clever and studious
child, found suddenly that he could not
see the words upon the page OF his book.
He was asked ii he could see other OBJ
jects. He could; so this boys grandfather,
who was religious and loved his grand
son, beat him.
"The boy couldn't read his lesson in
school next day and was punished again.
After long course of beatings they be-
gan to realize that this was perhaps
not all the boy needed. A famous doc
tor happened to hear about the boy who
wouldn't read, and he found that the
child was suffering from word blind
ness caused by overstudy. Such case
couldn't happen to-day in any OF our
big city schools, but it was the rule
generation ago. Ii a child was more
stupid than his fellows, he was either
punished or told to work hard
The enforced task, enforced idleness,
checking the spontaneous action, the
failure to see the Importance of the cry,
"Let me help or i want to do it my
own self" the school desk, and the inn
of the schoolroom and perhaps
even the schoolbook viii yet seem to us
as irritational and unkind."

A School for the "Hand- Minded"

81 like this school because / never coulC
have learned anything, and | am more
use in the world" This is the way q
girl pupil in the elementary industrial
school OF Cleveland, Ohio, describes hel
impressions of the new kind of school
work, according to a bulletin just is
sued by the United States bureau OF ed
ucation.
The elementary industrial school was
established to give "hand- minded" boys
and girls as good chance as the 'lan-
guage- minded" have always had Cleve-
land was one of the first cities in the
United States to make a distinction be-
tween the two types of children-those
who take to books and those who do not
In Cleveland, as in most American cities,
about half the children have been leav-
ing school in the sixth grade. The
Cleveland school authorities saw that
much of this waste was due to the at.
tempt to force abstract intellectual eff
fort on boys and girls whose interest
was in doing things The elementary in
dustrial school was meant to meet this
situation. To it boys and girls were adj
mitted if they were over Is years of age
and were two or more years behind their
grade in school.
In this school one-half of the time is
devoted to English, mathematics, geog-
raphy -history--the two in close connec-
tion--and to hygiene OF a thoroughly
practical character. The remaining
periods are given to manual and indus
trial work including shopwork-to do
nestle economy and gymnasium prac-
tice. A poll of the pupils showed that
with the girls cooking and sewing were
favorite SUBJECTS; with the boys, me-
chanical drawing and woodworking. In
other schools of the same type which it
is proposed to have in Cleveland, it is
probable that the course will be extend
ed to include a year or more of definite
ly vocational or trade school work, in
preparation for specific employment.
The school has been successful, even
in the face of adverse conditions. The
enrolment has doubled in the past four
years. Pupils who had long since lost
interest in school work of any kind,
some to the extent of being known as
"dullards and ineorrigibles," have be-
come eager and alert, not only in the
hand subjects, but in the academic work
as WELL
In speaking of the Cleveland work,
Prof. w. n. Hailmann, author of the
bureaus bulletin, says: "The ordinary
school was born among and for the Ian
guage minded. Intellectual and physical
culture-not manual self expression and
economic insight--was it's aim. The in
dustrial worker was practically excluded
from it; he had no leisure for it, no
time to engage in it's play. This one
sidedness still clings to the school, and
it is hard to eradicate.
"The Cleveland elementary industrial
school may not offer the best general So
luton, certainly not the only solution,
of the problem: bu. it does offer solu-
ton that lies in the right direction, and
one which is at least a promising be-
ginning"
