Emmett Man InventS
Death Dealing Device

A. P. Stubblefield, barber, res
tauranteur and inventor of this
city, has designed a shell for use
in rifles, machine guns and can
mons so deadly that officials OF
the government war department
have become interested and have
requested him to make a demon
stration of his new invention,
says the Emmett Index.
This instrument of death con-
sists of a shell inside of shell
and loaded with materials that
will not be made public until the
contents are protected by pat
Tents. Mr.. Stubblefeld has
spent nine years developing the
new shell. He claims for it that
the missile can be thrown Il
miles in a 16-inch gun and is 81
effective that one shell will de
s.roy every person in radius O.
25O feet. AS a destroyer OF al
craft it is perfect and none cal
escape it's deadly power. In
cost is quite an item, too. In

The presidents letter to Mr..

my Dear Mr.. Bryan:
Il accept your resignation only
because you insist upon its &C.

much more than deep regret,
with a feeling of personal sorrow.
Our two years of personal as

full to me. Our judgments have
accorded in practically every
matter of official duty and OF
public policy until now: your
support of the work and purpos-
es of this administration has
been loyal and generous beyond
praise, your devotion to the du.
ties of your great office and your
eagerness to take advantage Of
every opportunity for service il
offered has been an example tt
the rest of us; you have earned
our affectionate admiration anC
friendship. Even now we art
not separated in the object WI
seek but only in the method by
which we seek it.
1t is for these reasons tina
my feelings about your retire
ment from the office of secretar.
of state go much deeper than re
gret. l deplore it. Our object
are the same and we ought t
pursue them together. / yiel'
to your desire only because

Secretary of State Disagrees
With President on Method
of Preserving Peace and
Quits His Job.

Washington, June S.-William
Jennings Bryan, three times
democratic candidate for the
presidency of the United States
and author of nearly thirty peace
treaties with the principal ma
tions of the world, resigned to-
/ day as secretary of state as a
4 dramatic sequel to his disagree
ment with President Wilson
over the governments policy
toward Germany.
The resignation was accepted
by the president. The cabinet
then approved the response which
had been prepared to the German
reply to the Lusitania note. Act
Il ing Secretary Robert Lansing
will sign the document and to-
morrow it will be cabled to Ber-
Il lin.
4 Secretary Bryan will return to
private life tomorrow, when his
resignation takes effect. 1t was
\ learned that he intends to con-
tinue his political support of the
president.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might possibly
draw the United States into war,
Mr.. Bryan submitted his reslg-
nation in a letter declaring that
"the issue involved is of such
moment that to remain member
of the cabinet would be as unfair
to you as it would be to the cause
which is nearest my heart
namely, the prevention of war.
The president accepted the
resignation in a letter OF regret
tinged with deep personal feel
ing of affection. The letters
constituting the official announce
ment of Mr.. Bryan's departure
from the cabinet to private lift
were made public at the White
House at 6 o'clock tonight.
Secretary Bryan's letter o
resignation was as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. President:
1t is with sincere regret tina

that should return to you tn

TRIED TO HAMPER
 WITH IFS STlMONY ] OF STATE WITNESS
Police Apprehend Women Believed to Have Received
 Request to Perjure.

An attempt to tamper with a state witness is believed to have been frus- trated when the local police today again aDprehended Mrs. MAry. Hof- man, recently paroled by the city court upon charges of infidelity in connec- ton with the case of Michael Allen, a resident of ]. 1.256 Main Street, who is to appear at this session of the criIni- nal superior court on similar charges.
 Allen and the Hoffman woman had been arrested following complaint made by Allen that she had kidnapped his child. In the city court he was bound over and she was paroled as a material witness.
 Intinaat1ons brought to the police to4 day indicated that an attempt to pro- cure change of her testimony before the court has been made and this re- suited in her again being brought into have tearfulIy made a. full confession, and later to have made sworn state ments as to the facts she testified to ibefore the city court
 She was removed to the office of the assistant prosecutor this afternoon and while it could not be learned defi- nitelv what further plans are being
 made by the court officials, it is likely that arrests may be ordered by the su- peTior court justice.
 Previous accounts indicted that Mrs Mary Hoffman conducted boarding house at one time at 96 CourtIand street where her husband. in
 Hoffman, is a, boarder. These state merits are today denied by those who live at that address, who also ask that kthe woman be not confused with an- other HoHnan family living at q Courtland street.

Many School Teachers will Lose Salary Advances
 Under fsMerit Rule
fcontinued from Page 1.)


 When the board of education mem bers appeared this year before the board of apportionnent and presented their budget they were thrown for a loss. Dr. Robert J. Lynch and others scored the tendency of the board to prepare a budget and then come be- fore the body and ask for more money for this and that. No expense should be spared in building school houses and educating the children, it was e17 plained, but more business aD1l1ty should be shown Year after year, one meInber of the tax board said, ssyou do the same thing
 The board of education didn't get all the members wanted. Economy was forced upon them Then, the assun1p- ton of many is. the board decided upon the merit system as an economic asset.
 S The merit system isn't really a merit system. according to those who have studied it. It's a proposition where heads won't get you an nytfairag and sstailss' make you lose. The teachers will get what is due them if they att tain new standards and if they don't they lose There is nothing to gain by being extra meritor1ous.
 The teachers who have mot attained their maxtrna are eIlfit1ed to a $50 raise according to the schedule. At the last meeting in May each year it is ctls- tomary to adjust the salaries accord ing to this schedule. but this year about 90 will receive the same salaries as last year although they have not attained their maxina-
 By saving $50 on almost 100 teachers, S, 600 yvln be left in the hands of the board Much may De done with this in meeting the customary expenditures that the board of app rtionment dep recated.
 The merit system economy is signif1- cant in yisw gof the fac that at the meeting of the board held Monday night, it was found that expenses are crowding the available cash rather closely. It was admitted that the par ing knife will have to be called into service
 The merit system is based on re- ports received from the snperintend- ent of schools the principal of each school, the grade supervisor and the department supervisors An average struck with these, determines the nner- l iE of the instructor
 The board of education admits thai many. teachers will suffer disappoint-
 ment this year, but it is explained thai the time is not opportnne to announce 1 the numbers.
