NINE. cAILLAUX, DENOUNCED,
HAS DAILY FAINT
7 Paris, July 26.-Cringing before
the denunciation of Maitre Chenu
and finally fainting in the prisoners
box, Nine. Joseph Caillaux was
again today carried unconscious from
the courtroom where she is on trial
for the murder of CASTOR Calmette.
Judge Albanel suspended the argu-
ments of attorneys summing up for
the prosecution Wnlle SudruS cdrrleu
her from the room.
Maitre Chenu violently attacked
the contention of the defense that
Nine. Caillaux did not intend to kill
Calmette. He assailed the testimony
introduced to prove that the shoot
ing was not premeditated, and finally
declared:
mime Caillaux went to the Office
of LIE Figaro with but one purpose in
mind. The revolver which she pur-
chased lay naked in her muff when
she entered the Office. She went there
determined to kill"
Throughout the address of Chenu,
Nine. Caillaux had wept softly, en-
deavoring to hide herself from the
view of the spectators. With this

that the schools OF the different wards
in the city are run. This county
board will then have the power of
electing the county superintendent.
Included in this last recommendation
was that this question be put to the
voters Of the county for final deci-
sion
Another recommendation which
passed was that instead of raising
the school funds on tax OF GER
tain number Of persons at the aggre-
gate number Of - necessary to
operate the schools be estimated and
the tax be so levied as to raise
this specific amount. 1t was also rec
commended to tax the wealth OF the
state to help maintain community
high schools.
A permanent organization was ef-
fected and standing committees APP
pointed to meet current problems. w.

school child of $31 900. The richest
district in the state has an assessed
valuation Of $4,000 for every child Of
school age in that district
Most of the states that are as pro-
gressive as Idaho have state tax;
for example, in Washington, the state
contributes a sum equal to $40 for
every child of school age, and the
counties raise an equal amount This
makes the district tax very light
The convention recommended that
the state levy a small tax, enough to
raise the state contribution from about
$3.50 per child, the present amount
of the interest fund to $500 per child.
Also that the county levy instead of
being from liz to 5 mills, a very un-
certain amount, should be fixed at an
amount equal to $500 per child of
school age. At present the county
commissioners fix the levy withinSthe
legal limits, pressure Is often brought
to bear on them to fix the minimum
levy where the interests Of the school
demand the maximum.
Not Increase of Cost but Better Distri.
button Of Burden.
These recommendations do not in
volve an increase in the total eX-
penditures for schools, but effect a
more equitable distribution of the bur-
den. AS 1t is now, some counties and
some districts have far more than
their share Of taxable property, espe-
cially Of railroad and other corporate
property; while others are poverty
stricken and find it impossible to
maintain decent schools
The convention elected Supt. J, M.
Markell, Bull, as president; Supt. R.
G. Egbers, Occur d'Alene, vice-presi-
dent; and Miss Harriet Wood, Fremont

EDUCATORS PLAN IMPROVEMENT
New Course Of Study of the State APP
proved.

Prof. Walter R. Siders has return
ed from the conference of the county
and city superintendents held in Boise
all of last week. Prof. Siders was
chairman of the convention and brings
back the report of many beneficial
resolutions adopted by the members,
for passage at the next session. Be-
tween seventy-five and eighty of the
leading educators of the state were
present and some of the more vital
necessities of the educational system
Of Idaho were taken under advise
ment
One of the most important recon-
mendations passed was to raise the
minimum school term in Idaho from
five to seven months. Another mat
ter Of Importance discussed was that
of the qualifications of teachers. Here
tofore there has been from eight to
ten pages of hard and fast rules on
the statute books to which the teach
ers must conform and even with this
it is entirely inadequate. The rec
ommendation agreed upon was to
place the latter qualification in the
hands of the board of educators who
would study the conditions and de-
pend largely upon their best Judgment
as to the fitness Of applicants.
Idaho being new state and receiv-
ing teachers from so many eastern
states, presents harder problems along
these lines than does more settled
territories.
Subjects taken under advisement
were: High school problems; certi-
i fication of teachers; county unit;
school revenues, course of study, and
additional problems and questions A
committee was appointed to make any
recommendations it deemed necessary
in regard to the course of study of
the state. After taking three days for
consideration it returned with the
report and no improvement could be
made, which Is rather flattering to
Prof. Siders, who is the author of the
course.
Taxation for the school funds re-
ceived much attention and it was
finally decided to work along the
county unit plan. In brief this plan
provides for the raising of funds by
taxation levied as a state tax and
distributed on the basis of per CAPITA
of school census. An illustration may
be seen in the fact that while Clear
water county has an assessed valua
ton of $7,129 per school student
Cassia county has but $1,S23. The
proposed method equalizes the bur-
den throughout the state.
Anfther important change recon-
mended was that county board of
education be appointed and the coun-
ty schools be run on the same plan

WHY WISCONSIN
EXCELLS IN DAIRYING

When an attempt is made to connect
men with the growth and development
Of the resources of state there Is
danger that it may be so inclusive as
to be forbidding or so exclusive as to
be unfair. In the case of Wisconsin,
however, there are certain outstanding
men whom all recognize as having
been the pioneers in dairying and the
builders Of the solid foundations upon
which has been erected superstruc-
ture of which the sons and daughters
of the state are justly proud. 1t is in
no measure to be considered that the
men featured in the accompanying IL
lustration of Wisconsin's exhibit at
the national are the only men who
stand out prominent in the develop
ment of the dairy resources of the
state, but they are representative.
For those interested in following the
reading matter on the charts that does
not show up clearly in the illustration

ceding the quotation referring to the

WAR TAX BEGINS
New Law Taxing Telephone Users is
Now i'm Force.
Especial to the Times. J

Denver, Nov. 30-The far reach
ing effects of the European war will be
felt in no small way by telephone US
erS, according to the annouuc ement
made today by the United States Inter-
nal Revenue Department. The new
federal revenue tax on telephone and
telegraph messages goes into effect
December LIST all over the country, and
a government tax of one cent will be
collected for every message amounting
to fifteen cents or over.
Officials of the Mountain States Tel
| ephone and Telegraph company, oper-
ating in the seven mountain states,
have been busy for the past month
notifying exchanges in all parts of the
| system of the manner in which this
| tax is to be collected and turned over
| to the government. Notices have been
sent to each of the 100000 subscribers
! in the system and placards containing
| the provisions of the new law are to
| be posted in every pay station. Ac-
| cording to the law, all long distance
messages amounting to fifteen cents
| or over are taxed one cent, whether
from private telephones or from pub
| lie or pay stations Toll calls from pri-
! company and taxed in a lump sum on
| the monthly bill. Pay station custom
ers will be required to drop penny
in the coin box of the telephone when
their call is made There will be no
tax on local messages where no toll
charge is made.
The effects of the new law will be
interesting in this western country,
where the number of pennies in cir
culation is proportionately small. Ac-
cording to officials of the United
States Mint in Denver, all pennies are
coined in Philadelphia and shipped
through the local mint and subtreas-
ury for distribution. No shortage of
pennies is anticipated, as the banks
throughout the country have been sup
piled in the last few weeks.
In some cases, according to the Off
Gals of the telephone company, the
cost of collecting the tax from the
public pay stations will exceed the
tax itself. but the new law is stringent
and requires the collection to be made
on every call

FARMER FATALLY SHOT
Was Carrying Weapon on Hay Rake
When 1t Slipped.

Frank Neilhouse, dry land farmer
was brought into Minidoka late Tues
day with his left shoulder almost
blown off as a result of the accidental
discharge of a loaded shot gun. He
was on hay rake about four miles
from home when the gun which he
had with him slipped. In endeavoring
to catch the weapon and keep it from
falling to the ground, it became en-
tangled with the teeth of the rake and
the entire load went into his arm.
The injured man then rode mile and
quarter to the home of Fred Blatz
for assistance. He was Immediately
brought to town to await the arrival
Of east bound passenger train No. 4.
In the meantime everything was done
to relieve the sufferer and to keep up
heart action, which was very weak be-
cause of loss Of blood. On arriving at
American Falls Mr.. Neilhouse was
speedily taken to the hospital and am
putation was performed. But before

THE actors are not Interrupted as
often as they are here. The managers
sit around and take notes OF course
they do It the same here too, but much
more quiet IN England. Granville
Barker and Bernard Shaw both re-
hearsed THE Philanderer." You see, their
personalities are so entirely different
that II was very interesting. Granville
Barker takes many notes-uses up a
whole pad during the performance
whereas Shaw has his neat little book,
bound in Morocco leather. In this he
makes all the notes regarding the re-
hcarsals. He writes whole long SEN
fences where others would just jot down
word or two. He puts down phrases
in this almost copperplate writing Of
his and at the end Of the rehearsal or
the act. as the case may be. he will
have four or Ave pages Of very neatly
copied notes. Then he will turn around
and say:
"JuIid, sentence so and so should be
said so and So and he will read off the
two from his book. Then he will turn
and say. Grace. this sentence. read in
this way. should be read like this and
he will show how II Is to be done The
whole thing Is very calm and poised.
He always begins the rehearsals-the
very first. mean-by reading the lines
himself. Shaw Is a wonderful actor.
He reads each character With unusual
ability. The changes In his voice are
stupendous. You could almost swear
that several people were reading the
parts. He has a dramatic instinct and
the qualities Of the actor. And II Is
easy to get his meaning. II you say n
line and make an attitude which he
wishes changed he has no difficulty
whatsoever in showing you how TO do

and lets himself fall. Then Shaw puts
