Milwaukee, April 1.-THE public
school authorities propose to de-
clare a war against the wearing of
corsets in the public schools. Physi-
cal Director George Witch today an
nounced that every teacher in the
grade schools would be instructed t.
urge young girls to sToid the use of
stays until they are more mature In
years. He declares that the wear
ing of stays decreases mentality in
young girls. The physical instruc-
tors in the high schools have been
instructed to order all gir's to re-
move their stays before taking their
phys:..sf CULTURE lessons. The school
authorities realize that they cannot
forbid the wearing of corsets at
other times, but will try to accom-
plish their desire by education.

Two Routes Open.
After Thaw left Stormville he had
two routes open to the Connect cut
line, one by way of Luddington, Oar
mel and Brewster to Mill Plains live
miles beyond Brewster. The other
way by way of Pauling to the ST ate
line. The latter is the best road lfor
an automobile.
The road by Brewster would have
taken him over rough country part
of the way and would have been more
liable to have caused his halt by teIe-
phone. Just before Brewster is
reached, however, there is a back
road leading to the Connecticut line
and which would have taken him
away from all observation until the
Connecticut line was reached. Which
road he took no one knew.
According to the account given by
DIR. kieb, when 4Barnum opened the
gate to allow the milkman to enter.
he let IL remain open and, far as
DR.. Xieb could judge, had quietly
stood by and allowed the prisoner
to walk out. 1t was impossible today

for Thaw's apprehension, in addition
to the $50 usually given by the State
