GIRL PUPILS
PARAD|NG TO
HELP STRIKE.
PITTSBURG CHILDREN STAND
PAT IN REVOLT AGAINST
SUPERINTENDENT UNDER
CHARGES.
By Hubert Kotterman.

PTTTSBURG, April 2S.-When
a mothers letter, In which she
declared she would not send her
children to school while Sylvanus
Il. Heeter was superintendent,
was printed in a Pittsburg news
paper, a pupils ''strike" was be-
gun which is resulting in scenes
probably never before witnessed
An an American city.
Thousands of children marched
through the principal streets of
this city, shouting and singing
denunciations of the school SUI
perintendent. Placards and BAN
ners are borne aloft upon which
were inscribed these sentiments:
ssDown with Heeter!"
"Heeter must go!"
"We want a MAN at the head
of our schooIs,"
Little girls have had as active
a part in the demonstrations as
the boys. So many of Pittsburgs
10000 school children joined the
strike that in many of the schools
It was found necessary to give up
holding classes. Supt. Heeter
was burned in effigy many times.
In most cases the parents of the
striking children encouraged
them in their refusal to attend
school.
Heeter came here shortly over
q year ago from st. Paul. Two
months ago 17-year-old Ethel Ivy
Fisher, a pretty girl employed as
maid at Supt. Heeter's home,
went to hospital, suffering from
the effects of criminal operation
she said she had performed on
herself. She unfolded a story
blaming Heeter for her condition.
He was indicted, tried and acquit-
ted of the charge, but there was
general dissatisfaction over the
verdict when it became known
that a young woman, who had
been employed as stenographer in
Heeter's office, was in the court
room ready, it was declared, to
testify that Supt. Heeter had
forced his attentions upon her,
and had practically forced her to
give up her employment as a mat
ter of protection.
Another girl who had been en-
ployed as a maid at the Heeter
home, it was declared, would be
produced in court to tell a SINH
lar story reflecting on the school
superintendent name. This evil
dence was barred out by the
court.
All Pittsburg is breathlessly
awaiting future developments.

MOTHER TRIES
To POISON 8
CHILDREN

PORTLAND, April 2S.-Under
a spell of emotional insanity Mrs.
Lillian Strang, 26, administered
poison to her three children and
herself, then shot two of the
children and herself, the shock
of the wound evidently bringing
her back to normal consciousness.
She then proceeded to try to save
the children, administering enc
tics and binding up their wounds.
The mother will die and five
year-old daughter is in a critical
condition. Two of the children
may recover.
The husband returning home
after the tragedy secured prompt
medical attention.

1t Can BE Done.

Who says that the Mcintosh hill
can not be gone up on motorcycle?
On Friday afternoon Rev. e. A.
Place started out for the big hill
with the determination of going up
that hill and he had the satisfaction
OF going up it twice. He then came
to town and told about how he had
made the ascent without an effort.
The boys did not like to doubt the
reverend gentleman's word and the
result was that six machines again
started for the big hill and he clearly
demonstrated to the skeptical motor
list that the trick could be done and
easily. Others tried it with their
machines but they failed to reach the
goal for which they sought.-Davis
