Furnishing Marriage.
. New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The excuse of the board of educa tion
for d:smissing woman school teachers
who marry and have children is that the
children at home take the teachers.
minds off their work in the schools. The
board, SO it is said, does not penalizs
marriage or motherhood. but acts only to
secure efficiency. Why, then, does the
board punish woman teachers who
merely marry and do not have children
to distract their minds from teaching
To such teachers promotion is refused
They may remain in the schools, but ALI
opportunities to rise are denied to them
unless they conceal from the board the
fact of their marriage. That is a plain
penalty for marrying. The excuse is
made that it is applied only to teachers
whose husbands are able to support them
all other married woman teachers being
permitted to rise. 1t strikes us that Ii is
none of the boards business whether a
teachers husband can support her or not.
The whole policy of the board in pun
fishing marriage and motherhood Is med
dlesome. immoral and anti-social. The
board is two generations behind the times
in its treatment Of woman wage earners.

FATE OF TWO OFFICERS
INTERESTS NAVY CIRCLES
Believed Potts and Andrews Will Be
Promoted Despite Daniels
Recent Statement

Naval circles are deeply interested in
the action of Secretary Daniels on the
cases of Capt. Templin NJ. Potts. aid
for personnel. and of Commander
Philip Andrews, formerly chief of the
bureau of navigation, and now serving
as member of the naval general
board. The main point in both cases
lies in the possible application of the
doctrine recently enunciated by the
present Secretary of the Navy that Of
ficers coming up for promotion shall
have had sufficient sea service in the
grades from which they are to be pro-
NOTED to insure beyond doubt that they
are fully qualified and experienced at
sea to perform the sea duties of the
next higher grades.
Both officers named have been exam
ined for promotion in the regular rou-
tine of the service. since Secretary
sea service was requisite to promo
ton. The reports of the examining
board in each case are now before the
Secretary awaiting his action. Both
officers are reported to be profession
ally, physically and morally fit for pro-
motion. The records show, however,
that Commander Andrews was ap-
pointed commander in March, 1909, and
since that time has had two months
service at sea, and that Capt. Potts
has had ten months sea- service since
his appointment as captain in July,
1908
There is considerable speculation as
to what Secretary Daniels may do with
respect to these two cases, but the i'm
preston prevails that both officers will
De commissioned in the next higher
grade in each case and assigned in the
near future to sea duty.

BACON MAY BE FIRST.
Georgia Senator Likely to Lead in
Election by the PEOPLE.

Senator Bacon of Georgia may be one
of the first senators elected under the
amendment to the Constitution providing
for the direct election Of senator's. Geor.
gia is the only state which voted to reject
the constitutional amendment Senator
Bacon was nominated at a direct pri-
mary election last year, and the legisla-
ture of the state. under the old law
would have elected him to the Senate
when it meets next June. The change In
the Constitution. however, will make a
direct election of Senator Bacon by the
people necessary. and it is expected that
the state legislature will provide for such
an election.
The Georgia situation is unique because
of the summer session of the legislature
Although nominated at a popular pri.
mary last year, Senator Bacon is now
serving under an appointment by the
governor. his term having expired March
T. AS the new amendment takes away
from the legislature the power to elect
a senator, it may direct the governor tC
again make an appointment until spe-
cial election can be held.

ASKED FOR RESERVATIONS.
Treasury Officials Planning to Reor
ganize the Customs Service.

Secretary McAdoo announced late yes
terday that he had requested the resig-
nations of the collector Of customs, the
surveyor. the appraiser and the naval
officer at the port of Philadelphia in
order that their places may be filed
by persons in sympathy with the present
administration. and because 1t is con-
sidered vital in the interest of the pub
lie that new blood shall be brought into
the service"
Treasury officials contented themselves
with that brief statement, which was the
indication that sweeping reorganiza-
ton of the customs service was about to
begin Officials were reticent as to pos
sible future moves In this direction.
1t is known that the Secretary has his
eyes on the Boston office, where alleged
customs irregularities are being unearth-
ed. Close attention is being given to the
general question Of reorganization in con-
nection with the radical redistricting of
the service July 1.

The Indian Yields an idea.

rEoH Tue lineage POSt.
The preference Of several Indians for
sleeping on the roof of a New York hote
is good aboriginal idea White mer
might take 1t up to advantage-those that
have to stay in New York through some
of its fearful reaches Of summer heat.
For there are uptown spots in the big
city that seem at times to be miles away
from ocean breezes. Nights when the
lower East Side takes to the street. the
fire escape or the park for a rest in the
open find the hotels sitting except for
the agency of electric fans. Heat settles
blanketwise not to be dislodged behind
great barriers Of buildings.
Then does the burgher take the sur
face line down Broadway to the Battery
and make several round trips. to Staten
Island. the longest ferry journey avail
able. He goes back to a residence dis
trict which Is isolated from air currents
The ocean is not a far-reaching friend
But the roof of modern hotel is a
lofty spot and superior to the sleeping
porch in being accessible for any vagrant
breeze. With due precautions for the
against rolling of, it might
readily be life saver.

schooner Morris. who is marooned on
Big Diemede Island, where he was left
by other survivors of the wreck of the

kittiewake by John E. Thayer of Bos-

made their way across the ice from the
island to the Alaska mainland last
month. but Capt. Schroeder was too
weak to accompany them.
Capt Schroeder is subsisting on beans
and sugar. Reports received here say
the flesh is falling off his hands and
feet, and 1t Is feared he will die If res
cuers do not reach him soon.
Native boatmen are making every eff
fort to take him off, but the ice foes
prevent them from landing. A fastddog
team is held ready at Cape Prince of
Wales to bring Capt. Schroeder to Nome
as soon as the boatmen get him across
to the mainland.

The Ghost Haunted Desert of Cobb


Slowly we travelled across the great
waste Of Dzungaria, the contemplating
Gobi' of some writer's but to us a land
Of beauty, even If of a somewhat terrffy-
ing character. For here. more nearly
than in any other land, is beauty allied
to terror.
These silent steppes, the natives be-
lieve. are the haunts Of 'genii'' and the
rendezvous of evil spirits. AS recent
writer has said: 1.-The great sandy desert
of Cobb has been looked on as the dwell
ing place Of malignant beings from the
days of hoary antiquity" All luckless
travellers in this region, from the days
of Marco Polo onward, have recorded
strange stories of weird beings that in
habit the depths of the wastes. Mysterious
singing and wailing, beating OF drums and
distant music are said to beguile the
traveller and lead him off the track until
he is hopelessly lost in the wilderness. A
recent Russian explorer gives quite a de-
tailed account Of the wild men Of the
desert. Listen to the strange story told
by Kosloff, who traversed the desert OF
Dzungaria in it's widest part not long
ago: These wild men. the KyZ-Kyks. as
they are called, are covered with short
wool similar to the fur Of a young camel.
They have long black hair and black
eyes. They are of ordinary size, but
rather long legged They roam the steppe
in pairs, and when harassed by man they
scream, whistle and snarl as they run
away The native Kirghiz claim to have
caught them occasionally, but the cap
tives refuse food and drink, and die after
a few days."

PREDICTS DEFEAT OF BILL.
Senator O'Gorman Sees Little Hope
for Panama Canal Act.

Senator Roots amendment to the
Panama canal act, which would remove
the exemption of American ships from
toll payment will be brought up before
the interoceanic canals committee again
during the present session Senator
O'Gorman, chairman of the committee,
said today that. he expected to call a
meeting next week.
The Root amendment may not be taken
up at once, but will be disposed Of prob
ably before the tariff bill is brought over
from the House.
Senator OGorman declared today that
he is just as much opposed to the bill
as he ever was and expressed the belief
that it would fail to be reported to the
Senate by vote close to that by which
1t was defeated at the last session-1O to 3.

Told All Their Friends.
From Harper's Weekly.

FROM dafpers weekly
The fact that dogs have way of COM
municating news to one another was dem
onstrated in a very singular and anus
ing fashion in a certain district in south
Georgia, where as yet little provision is
made for the comfort of domestic ami
mails.
One bitter night, such as "coId waves
frequently bring to that locality, Geor-
gian heard at his front door the unmis-
taxable sounds of scratching and whin-
ing. He found, upon opening the door,
two of his neghborhood friends, a pug
and little terrier. asking admission.
In the face of the cruel scold II was
granted them, and they were made well
come to share the comfortable quarters
OF the two household dogs. In the morn
ing they took their leave; but great was
the establishment of the Georgian to see
them return the following cold evening.
this time accompanied by large Irish
setter, who likewise wagged admission to
the warm quarters of which he seemed to
have knowledge.
these hospitable night lodgings were dis
cussed among the shelterless dogs of the
the doubts were removed
on the third night, when the three tramps
returned their number further augment
ed by another pug and an old pointer.
The mute but eloquent language of their
wagging tails, the humble appeal in their
eyes were at once amusing and pathetic.
With his own two pets and these five
tramps the Georgian had now seven dogs
stretched out comfortably before his din
ing room CRATE; but their irreproac liable
behavior and many ingratiating ways had
insured for them welcome at his house
as long as the cold wave lasted which
was a week. After the cold subsidized they
returned no more.

SEA MONSTER CAUGHT
Shark Second of Kind Ever
Captured on Eastern
Coast of Continent.

The capture off Miami, Fla Of a mys-
terious sea monster. the like Of which
has never been known before in any
waters. has just been brought to the no.
tfce of the Smithsonian Institution Like
the most mysterious and heretofore un-
known monsters presented to the notice
of the institution, the big fish was a,
once identified. 1t proves to be a shark
of the genus Rhinodon. 1t Is Interesting
however. in that it is one of the only two
specimens of this shark ever captured on
the east coast of this continent. The
other was caught off the Florida coast in
1902. The fishermen who captured the
spotted shark were headed by Capt c.
II. Thompson Of Miami
The shark was only thirty-eight feet
long when killed, but 1t has been growing
ever since and at last accounts had at
tanned a length of forty-five feet 1t
was mounted by J. S. Warmbath, a tax
idermist. and Capt. Thompson has put il
on exhibition.
The main popularity of this shark is
that 1t has terminal mouth"-that is. a
mouth in the end of its head like any
other fish instead of an undershot mouth
like the rest of the shark family Capt
Thompson has issued a pamphlet on the
monster Of the Deep" in which he SAYS
it has 1000 teeth. A a matter of fact ex-
perts say 1t probably has more than that
but they are almost microscopic in size
and are set on a band Of gristle around
the edge of the mouth SO they feel to the
touch rather like sand paper
The shark probably is Identical with tn,
leopard shark, to which reference IS
made by many authors of travel stories
The scientists of the institution saw that
in the Indian ocean and other tropica!
waters it probably reaches a length OF
fifty. or sixty feet. This is enough to
make it rather formidable looking, bu;
in common with the other basking sharks
1t is lazy and harmless.

Brotherhood.

From the Kansas City Star.
Brotherhood and optimism are the fin
est things in the world when they really
express the meaning that is ordinarily as
cribed to them. But there must be dis
crimination.
There was an ideal Of democratic broth
erhood under the empire-an ideal held
by the fierce Ghibelline poet. Dante. who
wrote SO beautifully and at times SO ten
derby. The inconsistency between the
central ideals OF the middle ages and the
practice of Its civilization Is noted in
James Bryces Holy Roman Empire"
Some advance the mistaken ideal of
brotherhood sincerely as Dante did.
Some exploit it hypocritically. There is
a strong tendency in men who are well
off with things as they are to preach
contentment to those who are not we'll
of. Abraham Lincoln said that the white
man who sat under a tree while his black
slave worked in the sun had strong mo-
tive for supporting the doctrine that that
was a good arrangement.
Brotherhood is frequently preached by
those who, consciously or unconsciously.
have similar motive.
Perhaps the best test of whether fra
ternity" is sterling or not is whether it is
linked with liberty and equality or
not.
