The Passing of Kingeraft


Editor Henry WattersOn, than whom
there is no more brilliant journalist
OF the old school in America today,
discusses ~editorially in the Louisville
COurier-Journal the Passing of King

the prophecy OF his paper some years
ago 10 the effect that after fifty years
there would be no crowned heads in
Europe.

French Electrician Declares
VOlturno Disaster May Have

PARIS. Feb. IA startling sug-

a French electrician, which the Jour
nal publishes this morning, while ex-
pertmenting at the wireless station at
Anche, in Touraine, noticed repeated
ly that the most delicate instruments
were deranged when the wireless sta
tions at Rochefort and the Eiffel
tower were exchanging messages. 1t
appeared that the waves when cross
Ing one another caused a certain in
reference. By means of Hertzian
waves he even exploded little glass
bulbs filled with gas.
Anche is exactly half way between
Paris and Rochefort. The electrician
continued his researches, and now
makes the following suggestion:

Glaze bay, Clifden, and Bizerta be
Joined on the map by straight lines

some catastrophe has occurred, due
either to an explosion or a fire.

Federation Wants Age Limit
for Leaving School Changed
Especial to the Newark star. /

TRENTON, Feb. THE State Fed
Grafton of District Boards of Educa-
ton met at the State House today,
Charles P. Taylor, of Newark, presi-
dent, presided The question Of legal
izing the federation will be acted
upon by the members. Modification
of the tenure OF service law compul-
sorry education law and the pension
fund will be discussed.
The federation is known to favor a
change In the compulsory education
law making the age limit of pupils
sixteen instead Of seventeen, as at
present Bills embodying the views
of the federation will be presented to
the present session of the legislature.
Professor William Wiener, of the
Central High School, Newark, pre-
scented to President Taylor a hand
some silver mounted gavel, made by
the manual training boys in his
school. It was an artistic piece of
woodwork. The silver band had the
inscription, New Jersey State FEEDER
alton of District Boards of Educa-
ton" Even the engraving was done
by the pupils.
Mr.. Wiener explained the new policy
which is being tried out in this school.
Specialization in books under the plan
is incidental to the training of the
pupil. The studies from texts run
concurrently with manual training,
the claim being that this gives better
preparation for life work.

ORDER NEW HAVEN
PROBE CONTINUED
"lnfany of PIunderers," Says
Senator Kenyon, of Rail-
road Exposures.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-senator
Norris's resolution directing the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
continue its investigation of New
Haven railroad affairs was passed
today by the Senate in a modified
form. He said he had been informed
that by paying Paris bankers COM
missions as high as IL per cent,
Speyer e Co. induced the French
people to buy the securities a few
months before the railroad went into
bankruptcy.
The result was that American
credit was given a greater blow in
France than 1t had ever received be-
fore" declared Senator Lodge.
Senator Kenyon characterized the
published exposures of New Haven
affairs as tale OF the infamy of a
gang of plunderers.
Senator Oliver put into the record
the appointment of Speyer & Co. as
nscal agents Of the navy department
OF the United States In London last
April.
The modification In the resolution
was TO specify that the commission
need not duplicate any of it's pre-
vious work and leaving 1t to the dis
erection of the commission of whether
its previous investigation had devel-
oped all the information it desired.
Commissioner Prouty, who made the
first investigation, recently declared
he could see little to be gained by
further work of the commission,
but that something might be brought
out by a committee of Congress.
This information was called for
by the resolution:
What became of the funds of the
New Haven invested in various en-
terprises and corporations mentioned
in the recent report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission?
"Wheth her the person or persons au-
thorizing investment of those funds,
and the person or persons receiving
the benefit, are liable to punishment
under existing laws.
Whether, under existing laws,
these funds can be recovered on be-
half of the stockholders of said COM
pany.

essary to prevent the recurrence of
similar transactions.
