Favors to Foreign Imports
Are to Be Consid-
cred
DISCRIMINATION
is CHARGED
This Allegation Causes Ac-
ton by the Com
mission

Washington, Feb. 2l,-No step could
be taken of more interest to the ship
pers Of tile country than that of the
Interstate commerce commission yester-
day, in its announcement that of its
own initiative it viii undertake an in
vestigation of the discrepancies between
import and domestic rates. The condi-
tons alleged to exist III this respect
have been the subject of sharp criticism
on the floor of Congress many times. An
example cited is that of the rates on
raw wool. Senator Cummins. during
the tariff debate, pointed out that wool
coming from Australia was carried
across the continent to Boston for
eighty cents hundred, while wool
originating in the sheep,growing re-
gions of the Rocky mountains was com
PEELED to pay freight rate of 81 a
hundred. The senator urged that it
would do little good for the Democrats
to reduce duties to help the farmers
while they were discriminating with inn
port freight rates in ways OF which this
was only one. That the interstate COM
merce commission has taken up the sub
ject voluntarily may be regarded as evil
dence that the commission believes some
readiustment should be made. 1t is OBJ
vious that these changes, if any, may
exercise far-reaching effects upon the
business OF Boston and the Atlantic
coast generally.

GOOD ROADS HELP TO
BUILD UP SCHOOLS
According to Findings of Office Of Pub
lie Roads of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.

Washington, ID c., Feb. 2l.-The riIr-
al population is more willing to sup
port better schools to-day than at any
previous time. 1t is being realized that
all educational activities or agencies
must be more or less correlated, and.
more than all else, that they must be
made accessible to the children. In
many counties where bad roads prevail,
most of the schools are of the antiquat.
ed one-room variety. They are usually
located along bad roads, which, during
the winter, when the schools are usual
ly in session, become so nearly impas
sable as to make it difficult for the chill
dren to reach them. This condition
causes irregular attendance and restricts
the educational opportunities of the
child. Not only this, but it often inn
pedes the economic consolidation of
these smaller schools into larger, strong
er graded schools, with high school
courses, directed by competent prin-
cipal and cofps of teachers, according
to the office of public roads, L. s. de-
partment of agriculture.
On the other hand, in counties which
have improved their roads, the schools
are easily reached, the average attend
ance greater the efficiency largely i'm
creased and economic consolidation made
possible. Regular attendance at school
means consistent and regular growth OF
both school and pupils, and consolida-
ton of schools means a maximum of
efficiency at minimum of cost. 1t is
also noteworthy that there is a marked
tendency for the consolidated school TO
become the social and intellectual center
of the community.
Most modern rural schoolhouses are
so constructed as to serve the eommu-
nifty as gathering places for various
kinds of public meetings, and where vans
are used to convey the children to school
during the day they are frequently
pressed into service to haul the farmers
and their wives to institute work, lee
lures or entertainments at the school
house. The consolidated school becomes
a sort of community center TO which all
educational and social activities con-
verge, and in order that it may proper
ly perform that function all of the high
ways leading to it should be so improved
as to render it readily accessible through
out the year.

MURDERS MAN
BEFORE CROWD
Alleged Slayer of Woman Fatally
Stabbed in Gotham Street--A1rest
Follows.

New York. Feb. 2l.-Murder in the
street while hundreds of Mortified pass.
Iersby looked on was the latest fruit
here yesterday Of the vendettas Of East
side gunner. Yesterdays crime came
when man, said to be Angelo Lasco
ran up to Luigi Lazazzari in East One
Hundred and Eighth street, thrust a
knife three times into his body and
lied, while his victim fell dead to the
sidewalk.
Within a minute typical crowd had
collected from all quarters of the com
pass, and police, who came running to
the shouts, feared that a wholesale out
break was in the wind. Reserves were
called out, and the throng dispersed by
the club Then the police, able to turn
TO the hunt for the slayer, were in
formed that he had fed into a nearby
wine cellar. Pistols in hand, they en-
tered the place and there found Lasco
who, they said, had handkerchief bear
ing the bloody outlines of hastily
wiped knife. He was overpowered and
taken to cell.
Lazazzari's murder climaxed series
of three killings in the neighborhood
within a short time and is expected to
result in more slaughter. The dead man
was accused of having stabbed TO death
a woman partner, Mrs. Spinelli. as the
result of quarrels over the operations OF
I. horse stealing band. He was dis
charged for lack of evidence, but has
since been known TO be marked man
and was usually accompanied ON the
street by an armed bodyguard. Lasco,
the police believe, took advantage of the
temporary absence of Lazazzari's guards

a gas jet for her because she was too
short to reach it. he declared, when he
saw her with knife in her hand.
II took hold of her to make her put
the knife down. Then there was "A little
fight and ] don't know what happened"
"Show us just how this struggle with
the woman began" suggested Asst. Dist.
Atty. Wasservogel.
Vogt, with a surprisingly swift mo.
ton, grabbed the knife, which was lying
close to the witness chair, and moved
toward Mr.. Wasservogel.
mo, not with that!n said the law
yer backing off. Here, III take this
lead pencil and impersonate the wont

Vogt suddenly jumped forward and
grabbed both hands of the attorney, and
forced his right, in which he had the
pencil, against his side. Then he Kept
pushing against Mr.. Wasservogel and
forcing him backward. In the unlocked
for struggle both tripped over chair
and went sprawling. Court attendants
grabbed the prisoner and forced him
back INTO his chair.
Let me do it again" he begged. iii

''He won't show me, said the assist
ant district attorney ruefully.
The state contends Vogt killed the
Guth woman for her money. He had
been living upon her earnings, after his
wife had refused longer to support him.

New Hampshire's Need Is
State University.

| Manchester. Y. H., Feb. 2I.--Henry G.
! Morrison, state superintendent of public
instruction, addressing convention OF
the teachers OF the Merrimac valley yes.
terday attacked what he termed the "ar-
bitrary and unreasonable standards set
lup BY the New England College
Entrance Certifcation board, which lat
ter he characterized as a college trust,
following out the natural course of eyo-
lution OF the industrial trusts by com
polling small institutions to come with
in its membership for self protection.
Because the high schools bend their
energies to meeting the requirements of
this board and because the grammar
schools merely prepare for the high
schools" he said, you can begin to de-
teet the influence OF the New England
board at about the fifth or sixth grade,
and, therefore, public education in the
New England states to-day is dominated
by an irresponsible body OF men of
whose very existence the great mass of
our people are ignorant"
Mr.. Morrison declared that the pres
ent educational system was entirely
wrong in leading ups from the lower

TO the work done by the lower schools

chief educational officer Of the state, to
say to the people of New Hampshire
that Eve cannot afford as free COM
monwealth TO have our educational in
terests governed by q body of 10 men

the only solution of the proniem the de-
velopment OF the state college at Dur
ham into state university.
"New Hampshire" he said, must have
an Institutional life distinctly her own.

FEARS LOSS OF KARLUK.
Crew Probably. Would Escape, Writes
Stefansson.

London, Feb. 2l.-In a despatch to the
Daily Chronicle from Point Barrow. Alas
ka, Y. Stefansson, the leader OF the Ca
madam Arctic expedition, gives further
details of the disappearance of the kar-
lux, which was announced in December.
Though far from sanguine that the Kar-
lux will be saved, he has little doubt
about the ultimate safety of those on
board. If the vessel should he crushed
by winter ice there will be little trou-
Bile about the men getting ashore safe
~, but whether any of the material
aboard the Karluk can be saved depends
upon its distance from shore and the
roughness of the ice.
If the KarIuk is crushed during the
coming summer the danger to life win
be somewhat increased, although it can
not be considered serious, for the Ksr-
lux is equipped with three skin boats,
any one of which could carry the en-
tire ships company. In the event Of a

She Tells How She Did 1t

A well known resident of Kansas City,
Mo-, who darkened her gray hair by a

stimulate its growth and make it soft
and glossy with this simple recipe, which
they can mix at home To half pint
of water add ! OF. of bay rum, | small
box of Barbo Compound and u OF. OF
