MOVEMENT LAUNCHED
FOR NEW EASTERN HIGH
Citizens of East Washington Hear DR..
Davidson and Others
Sneak.

A movement in which DR.. William NJ.
Davidson. retiring superintendent Of pub
lie schools, participated was launched
last night for a new Eastern High School
at a meeting in the assembly room OF the
school. The meeting was attended by
citizens of East Washington who are
deeply interested in this project.
DR.. Davidson recalled his first visit to
the Eastern High School and the favor
able impression 1t created upon him. He
referred to the inadeQuacy OF the present
buildings to accommodate the number OF
pupils who wish to attend. He pointed
out that Washington. in proportion to its
population. has more public school pupils
than any other city of its size or larger in
the country. He declared that 1t was
with great reluctance and deep regret
that he was leaving Washington.
Henry p. Blair, president of the board
of education, urged the erection of a new
high school to supplant the present one.
He said he believed that IL the proper ia
cilities were offered the enrolment would
be increased to 500 or 1000 pupils. Mr..
Blair stated that he believed there was
splendid chance of Congress appro-
priating the S1JO, 900 which has been re-
quested for the purpose of purchasing
the site for the new buildings.
Others who spoke were DR.. willard S.
Small, principal OF the Eastern High
School; D. c. Roper, First Assistant Post
of the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. and NJ. F. ODonohue.
Representative Smith, of Idaho, who
was prevented from making a speech be-
cause of official business, stated in a let
ter that was read before the meeting
that he would support the appropriation
both in and out Of Congress

KIDNEY AND BLADDER
TROUBLES DISAPPEAR
Chronic Sufferers Always Find Relief
from Few Doses.

II you are bothered with backache
or rheumatism, have disagreeable,
annoying bladder or urinary disorders
to contend with-or suffer with any
other of the many miseries that come
from weak kidneys, here is a guaran-
teed remedy you can depend upon.
1t is positive fact that Croxone
promptly overcomes such disorders.
1t soaks right in, cleans out the
stopped up kidneys and makes them
filter and sift out the poisonous waste
matter from the blood. 1t neutralizes
and dIssolves the Uric acid that lodges
in the joints and muscles, causing
rheumatism: soothes and heals the
delicate Innings of the bladder.
More than a few doses of Croxone
are seldom required to relieve even the
obstinate, long-standing cases.
You will find Croxone entirely dif-
ferent from all other remedies. 1t is
SO prepared that 1t is practically inn
possible TO take II without results. An
original package costs but trifie. and
your druggist is authorized to return
the purchase price II Croxone fails to
give the desired results the very hrst
time.

the postmaster at Princeton, asking
for his removal
Inspectors were sent to Princeton to
investigate the charge. They were sur
prised at the Princeton postoffice to
see at least a bushel of letters a day
going to the Ferris family. An in
vestigation was started, resulting later
in a raid on Ferris place. It is said
Mary Louise" alias Susan Meyers"
made a mysterious escape by disap-
pearing through a trap door.
Later she was brought to Washington
by her father and placed in the care of
a friend" 1t is believed by the police
that the 1900 in money and the dozen
or more expensive rings found in the
girls possession were obtained from in
nocent young men, farmers and noun
taineers, who paid court to her by mail.
and sent valuable presents to her
Princeton address.
Thus her story about saving the money
she made by sewing and selling eggs
that she might go to Manila, p. l., to
live in happiness with a sister, is dis
credited.
After seeing it all but impossible to
prevent extradition, MARY Louise"
changed almost in a flash from IAN in
nocent little inexperienced girl" as she
styled herself in an interview, to a
woman of the world. Turning upon De-
tective Burlingame in United States Com
missioner Hits office, she shook her fist
in his face and said:
You dirty beast. Had it not been for
the police of Washington I could have
got through"
Then she admitted she was Mary
Louise Ferris" that her age was
twenty-five, and not seventeen, as she
claimed when arrested.

SAYS ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Is THE BEST FOR SONG
So Just to Prove II, Mile. Teyte Sings
Several Pieces at Press
Club Reception.

Observed of all observers at the Ma
tional Press Clubs ladies day recep-
ton yesterday afternoon, Maggie Teyte,
prima donna of the Chicago-PhiladeIphia
Grand Opera Company, paid her hosts the
double compliment OF declaring that their
language is ''the language of song and
proving it by singing several pieces in
English.
They tell you that English is not the
language for song" said Miss Teyte.
''They tell you that foreign languages
are musical; and that the English Lam
guage is incapable of high, artistic, musi-
cal expression. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth
'tOf course, almost every weli-known
opera is written in Italian. French, or
German. And most of the European
teachers of singing are of those nation
alitIes All this has kept the English
language in the background. This is
wrong. English is the real language for
song"
The affair at the club yesterday was ar
ranged to give the women friends of its
members an opportunity to whisper good
byes to the present home before the club
enters its new quarters in the Riggs
Building. When Mile. Teyte was told
this was a farewell performance" she
added Tosti's Goodbye to the generous
program she had already rendered.

SAYS NEEDLE POISONING
is DUE TO DEGENERACY

Degeneracy is responsible for the num-
erous cases of needle poisoning OF
women that has been reported to the
police of New York. according to At
torney General McReynolds.
While the agents of the Department of
Justice are investigating reports that an
organized band of white slavers are op-
Grating by this method, the Attorney Gen.
eral stated yesterday that he felt the
work was done by degenerates rather
than illegal traffickers in women.

I'VE are in this work for the protection
Of all helpless creatures, both human

Explains Good to BE Accomplished.
Speaking of the good to be accom-
plished by the congress. its president.
Edward H. Clement. Of Boston, Mass.
said:
"This congress has brought together a
strong body Of people, strong in the hope
of regulating vivisection in the United
States OF America. For my part would
like to see IL abolished, but Of course a
strict restriction, SO to speak. will satisfy
us for the present. The anti-vivisection
movement has taken great hold in Eng
land, and is winning strong and wonder
full support in the United States.
Most of the vivisection practiced to-
day is perfectly barren work and incurs
useless torture. Every practitioner OF
vivisection should be known to authori-
ties, and his efforts closely watched for
illegal and inhuman practices.
There can be no doubt but that human
vivisection, so far as experimenting with
serum. germs, and vaccines are con-
cerned, is extensively employed on the
quiet in hospitals all over the world. The
evidences Of this can be found In the
reports Of medical and other learned So
cieties which the general public seldom
reads
For every triumph of a serum there
has been scores of failures at a cost
OF human and other life"
Many interesting delegates are here
from foreign countries. Among them
is Miss Lind af Hageby. of London.
England, who recently conducted a IA
nous libel case for the purpose of VEN
tillating the subject OF vivisection.
Speaking of this case last night, she
said:
This trial, at which acted as my
own lawyer. lasted sixteen days. 1t
stirred all England. Although l lost
the case technically. l expected to do
SO, and II barred the cold facts to every
one who could read the newspapers in
England. Newspapers can accomplish
much good in this work"

ARMY OF HUDSON
suffragettes on Thelr Way to Wash

METUCHEN, N. j., Feb. 13.--It was
a tired, frost-bitten army OF the
Hudson that sailed forth from
Metuchen to resume the hike to Wash
ington today. General Resale Jones,
commanding the suffragette march
ers. picked the name OF the army
while the colonies, surgeon generals
and the few mere private troopers
were thawing out before a fire last
night.
The march today is to Princeton,
the home of President-elect Wilson,
where the army expects to arrive late
this afternoon.
Setting out from Metuchen, the
suffragette marchers found roads In
much the Same condition as yester-
day. AS the sun came out, the ice
and snow melted, and then the women
plowed through slush and water
which made walking difficult.
Longing eyes are being cast on
the army wagon at the head of the
marchers, which is carrying nothing
more than a boy bugler and big boxes
of suffragette literature, but the first
day went by without single mem
Der of the army asking for relief.

AT the recent meeting of the
daily newspaper publishers of the
state in Des Moines the sentiment
was against premium and contest
methods to increase circulation, and
discouraged as a proper method of
building up newspaper. 1t was sug-
gested that the circulation obtained
under such conditions was in the ma
ture of bonus, temporary and not
calculated to be of permanent benefit
either to the newspaper or the pat
ron of the newspaper. James Kelley,
manager of the Chicago Tribune,
which is considered the most power
full and leading newspaper IN the
United States, deprecates the use OF
any method to secure business other
than the most legitimate kind 1t is
