He stated that he had made 167 in
spections ia the past week alone.
1t was announced at the meeting

GREY DEPARTS ON EVE
OF PROTEST BY U. S.
British Foreign Minister Be-
IieVed on Way to Paris
For Conference.

LONDON, April News Of the de-
parture of Sir Edward Grey, foreign
minister for England, upon the eve
of the American protest against the
order in council blockading German
ports, caused intense surprise here to-
day
AS a result of the departure of Sir
Edward there can be no reply to the
American protest for at least a month
as the foreign minister will probably
be away for about three weeks.
Although the notice of Sir Ed
wards departure spoke of his absence
as a vacation, it is reported on reIa-
bic authority that he is going TO Paris
where he will hold a conference with
the French foreign minister, and the
Russian ambassador. a. p. Ivolsky
over important and unexpected devel-
opments which have just arisen. Ir
this connection significance can be at
tached to Petrograd dispatches which
say that Austria is on the point of su-
ing Russia for peace.
Friends of the foreign minister de-
clare that only illness or affairs of the
utmost moment outside of England
could drag Sir Edward away from
Downing st. at this critical juncture
in British history.
Another report in circulation was
that a conference of various ambassa-
dOrs would be held in Paris when the
near eastern and the future status OF
ConstaHtinOple would be discussed.

SHOWS NEED FOR
SINGLE STANDARD
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
State Inspector PearCy, Ad-

Convention, Says System
EquaIizeS Amount of Work.

Standardization of high schools
has become one Of the big problems in
our educational work today" said J.
B. Pearcy, state high school inspect
or Friday morning in his address be-
fore the high school section Of the
convention. "It is the aim Of the
state TO place a minimum amount of

allowed commission.
"A standard for all high schools
in the state must be set" declared Mr.
Pearcy. "If this were not the case.
some high schools might accomplish
less than others, which would result
in an unfair division of the work TO
be done by the various high schools
in the state 1t would be manifestly
unfair to let a small commissioned
high school to slip along doing less
work than the larger institutions
which are accomplishing much more.
1t is TO avoid that difficulty that the
prescribed course of study as outlined
by the state has been made out. This
course of study entails upon the high
school a certain amount Of work and
the smaller schools in order TO receive
a commission must conform strictly TO
this program.
Prescribe Reference Works.
"One other movement of the state
board OF education has been TO pre-
scribe the kind of libraries and refer
ence works that the schools shall
maintain. Each school must have the
minimum number of books as pre-
scribed by the state ruling, but may
If it so desires have more than this.
In this way the larger high schools
are not handicapped by the smaller.
Many changes in the course Of
study for next year will probably be
made by the state board. but as yet /
am not cOnversant with the proposed
changes. However, ! am seeking sug-
gestiOns for the changes in the courses
of study, which will eliminate any diff
ficulties which it now seems 10 con-
tain. Only through the prescribed
course of study are we able to stand
ardize cur high schools. and it is to
wards a better Standardization that

act The Elkhart K Western railroad

years.
John G. Yeagley. representing the
BuCklen interest in the road eX-
planned Friday that the taking over OF

OF the New York Central in acquiring
all divisions of the New York Centrals
Much confusion has arisen over the
New York Central and New York Cen

TENS. said Mr.. Yeagley. The New
York Central operates solely in New
York state while the New York Cen
trails was comprised OF the Lake
Shore, the Michigan Central, the g. l.
* :. and the Elkhart * Western.
About two months ago the New
York Central acquired the New York
Centrals and is now taking over each
individual branch The Lake Shore

STOLE TO GET IN JAIL;
NOW WANTS FREEDOM
Kennedy Changes Mind About
CeII-"NOt Smart Enough
For Crook" He Says.

Even though he did steal a suit
case from the waiting room of the
Grand Trunk station Wednesday af-
ternoon for the simple purpose of Civ
ing the police cause for sending him
to Jail, James Kennedy Friday morn
ing, from behind the bars at the cOun-
~ jail. declared that he would rather
be free than behind prison bars.
MY God, 1 hope they don't send
me back to that place" said he when
he was asked if it was a fact that he
preferred prison to freedom. Eve
been up there most Of the time for
nine years and / sure don't want to
go back. What do you think they will
do with me? / want another chance .
And then he told briefly the story
of how, now that he was 61 years old
he was not SO strong as he used to be
and not so able TO stand the labor of
a steel worker which had been his line
of work since his youth. He said that
he had been working steadily since
he was paroled a year ago from the
penitentiary at Michigan City, but
that he had not been able TO leave the
drink alone during the long days OF
hard work in the rolling mills at
Cleveland.
"Why. 1 don't think of doing any
thing wrong when 1 am sober" he
continued. but when 1 get drunk
then / don't know what 1 am doing.
They know me down in Cleveland
where / was born and raised and when
1 get in trouble they just put me in
the work house for a while and then
let me go again. But I've got to quit
the hard work and if they will only
let me go now I will find some light
job and l sure viii leave the booze
alone.
Not Smart Enough for Crook.
LII tell you" he concluded, I'm
not smart enough TO be a crook. Do
YOU know. when I was sent up for
the first time in ST ii was for petty
larceny. 1 stole an overcoat and then
went and put il right on and lay down
in a railway station and went to sleep
and Of course they caught me right
away. And that is just the way I've
always done. I'm not smart enough
10 be a crook"
The man was sentenced to the pris-
on at Michigan City nine years ago
but within a year or so he was pa
rolled. Four times he was imprison-
ed and parOlled and, at last, a year
ago, he was discharged. He went
back TO his work in the rolling mills
and did all night until finally again
he got drunk and wandered TO Gary
and then 10 South Bend. He says
that his only relatives are two nieces
who live in the west.
Kennedy says that he will plead
guilty when he IS arraigned. The
law provides that in such a case where
a man is found guilty for the third
time on a felony charge he may be
deemed an habitual criminal and be
sent to prison for life. Rev. A. G..
Schafer OF the Lasalle av. mission.
however. has taken an interest in Ken
nedy's case and il may be that the

for the mission and prove that he will

EXPECTED ID BUILD ROAD
 ID DRY FARM
IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED THROUGH THE GRANITE DELLS AND ON TO THE LOOP.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Work on road through the Dells
 to the Dry Farm and on to the loop road is expected to be started within
 the next week. At lively session of
 the board of supervisors yesterday a
 committee of over dozen prominent
 business men and members of the
 Chamber of Commerce made re-
 quest that the S3.500 which has been donated for the purpose of construct ing road from the loop to the Dry Farm be used to better advantage by having the road made into a continu- ation of the loop rather than branch from it to the farm.
 It had been intended to construct the highway as branch from the loop road northeast of the Dells be- cause it was feared that it would cost large sum to build it through the point Of rocks. L. L. Bates. as one of the committee. presented a let ter he had received from Nancy Brothers & Company, in which they declared that they would construct the road to the farm through the Dells with proper drainage and 6 per cent grade at cost of $3,l00 They also stated in the letter that they would build the rest of the road to the loop for the sum of $400, talk inG up the full amount of $3,5O0.
 If Nancy Brothers & Company will back the letter up, work on tht road is certain to be started in a short time, for the supervisors agreed that the proposition, as 1t stood, was one of the best that could possibly be 1 offered. The concern is to start 6 | out on the work of lining | ID the road today and give specified ions for its building. After the sur Ieyor completes his work a contract s expected to be formed and work started.
 Those on the committee were: I. J. Norris, F. C. Whisman, L. L. Bates, O. A. Hesla, Dr. R. J. Roper, 2. NJ. Buehler, H. D. Aitken, W. A Drake, Ed Kastner, NJ. B. Hazeltine. d. Meek, R. \. Fredericks and J. A Hope

NEW YORK WILL WAGE
 WAR ON WASHERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 4-Police de
 partment officials are waiting with
 much interest the construction the courts will place on an amendment to the penal law, which became effec-
 tive last week and which is designed to rid the city of mashers. An order was sent to every precinct two weeks ago by the police commissioner direct
 ing that the amended section be strictly enforced. The subdivision, as amended, applies not only to mashers but to any persons lettering about the streets, shops or factories with evil intent, and it is believed that it will be Of great service in ridding the city of white slavers.' No test case has been made under the new law, and the police have not as yet announced how they intend to enforce it. It is rumored around police headquarters, however, that police matrons will be sent out to gather evidence and to trap annoyers of women. The amend. ment is in that section of the penal law devoted to vagrancy, and its strength lies, the police believe, in the fact that it is obligatory upon to impose a work-housc sentence, not fine. on conviction.

RAISE IN FOOD PRICES CAUSES
 NEAR PANIC

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Oct. A.
 Correspondence of the Associated
 Press).-Something very close to a panic is spreading over both Nor
 way and Sweden, as a result of the alarming scarcity of provisions and the unprecedented prices which are demanded for the simplest kind of food. Norway is now on the point of following Sweden's leadin prohibit. ing the export of all provisions of which there IS present shortage, in order that prices may be brought down within reach of the poorer classes.
 The advance in prices in Norway is approximately the same as in Sweden. but in some cases it has been even more marked. Herring, which is one of the main articles of diet among the peasant population, have risen from two cents to four and a half and five cents apiece, and the pres ent price of oatmeal is 25O per cent higher than it was before the war.
