was subscribed for the unions work
and pledges of personal as well as fl
hancial support were given by several
suffrage leaders.
According 20 a report published this
morning, Mrs. Blatch. president OF the
New York Women's Political Union. has
determined TO throw her support 10 the
Congressional Unions work. New Jcr-
scy leaders, too. are swinging into line.
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle. president Of the
New Jersey Women's Political Union.
and Mrs. +. +. Feickcrt, president Of
the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Asso-
cation, having both pledged their ac-
tive help.
The work Of organizing and prepar-
ing for the meetings in both New York
and New Jersey will be in the hands
Of Miss Doris stephens, who already
has opened headquarters in New York.
A new feature Of the Congressional
Union campaign, which has been begun
on the suggestion Of Miss Anne Mar
tin, long an active suffrage worker in
Nevada, and a recent convert from the
state-by-state plan, will be the organ
ling of all state campaigns from now
on by Congressional districts. This, Il
is hoped. will enable the Congressional
Union to pick up many votes among the
Representatives, for it is not believed
that a member Of Congress will dare
vote against the desire Of his district
expressed at the polls.
The plan is TO have the unions work
in the state campaigns in cooperation
with the state organizations. The
union will ask that one or two Con-
grcssional districts be assigned to H.,
and will then concentrate all the
strength 1t has for that particular state
on those districts. The state organiza-
ton, II is expected, will also send work
ors into these districts.
BY this means the total vote Of the
state viii be as great as II the unions
efforts had been scattered, while there
Will always be a strong chance Of win
ming one or two votes for the Anthony
amendment. This work viii be in
charge Of the Woman Voters Cam
paien Alliance, Of which Miss Martin is
chairman and Miss Jane Adams hon
orary chairman.
Jersey Trial Success.
This method was, in fact, tried In a
tentative way In the LIST District Of New
Jersey, and reports indicate that IL did
result In better showing than in
other parts Of the state. Figures are
now being compiled Of the vote by dis
tricts in all the states where suffrage
was an issue in the hope that il will be
found that some districts were carried,
and that the Congressman from them,
when the facts are presented will be
convinced that 10 represent their dis
trict they must now vote for suffrage.
Several Of the New York leaders al
ready have promised their help for the
convention. which will begin here on
the day Congress opens. At this con-
vention plans for the winters campaign
viii be pressed. Among those who viii
ocme down for work, both in prepare
tion for the convention and through It,
are Mrs. John Winters Brannan, Mrs.
John Rogers, Miss Eleanor Brannan,
Miss Mildred Taylor. who won fame by
her long campaign with the suffrage
van"; Mrs. Adolph Clay Bartlett. Mrs.
John Dewey, Mrs. Charles A. Beard,
Mrs. Evans Dick, Mrs. Tiffany Dyar.
Mrs. Frederick II. Howe and Mrs Crys-
tai Eastman Benedict.

TEACHERS In GARY
PLAN DISCUSSION
Sentiment at Free Synagogue
Forum Opposed to Intro.
ductiOn of System.

About two hundred persons, mostly
New York women school teachers, dis
cussed the Gary school plan at the
Sunday evening forum Of the Free
Synagogue, 36 West Sixty-eighth
Street, last night. Several speakers
suggested that the Gary plan be lin
tied TO a practical tryout in one or two
schools. The audience appeared 0p-
posed to the Gary plan generally.
DR.. Ira S. Wiley, Of the Board Of
Education favored the new scheme. He
said the religious subjects and
parochial instruction might be sacri-
feed and that the only reason che
churches had been included was 90 d.
vert the children from the Playground
and the schoolhouse on their Off time.
Angelo Patri, principal of one OF
The Bronx Gary trial schools. criti-
cised the old half-time system, and
said every moment Of a pupils time
was occupied in interesting study oy
the new plan.
Miss Matilda Lemlein, a teacher,
said the Gary system brought in very
few things that are new; that the chill
dren were patronizing public libraries;
that the Museum Of Natural History
was crowded every day with childre 81.
and that the public parks are being
patronized by children, who -.udy
geography and other things. In h'r
opinion, it is unnecessary for any one
to come in from the West TO tell New
York teachers what is necessary.
Then Miss Lemlein told Of having
followed one of the Gary classes for
eight periods. For the first two
periods the children were out Of
school; the third they were assisting
teachers; the fourth they were helping
children; the fifth they were at lunch
con; the sixth was spent in the audi
forum. and the seventh and eighth
periods were at academic work. Sh
said It didn't look as if the pupils had
learned much that day

our conceptions Of discipline have been
wrong. As Professor John Dewey
points out in his latest book, schools
Of Tomorrow" Forcing a child TO
carry through a task which did not ap-
peal 70 him was supposed 90 develop
perseverance, and strength OF charac-
ter. There is no doubt that the ability
% perform an irksome duty IS very
useful accompl shmcnt but the useful
ness does not lie in the irks0mcness OF
the task. Work that Appeals 20
pupils as worth while, that holds out
the promise Of resulting IN something
for their own interest, involves JUST as
much persistence and concentration az
the work that is given By the sternest
advocate Of disciplinary drill
The pupil presented with problem the
solution Of which will give him an i'm
mediate sense Of accomplishment and
satisfied curiosity viii bend all ms
powers 10 the work The end itself will
furnish the stimulus necessary 20 carry
him through the drudgery."
The work-study- programme
constantly presents such problems 20
children, and therefore results IN the
best kind of seIf-discipline for them.
The opponents Of the Gary plan con-
stantly refer 20 the fact that Elizabeth,
y. j., and Syracuse find IL difficult 20
assimilate the ideas in the Writ plan.
But why do they not at the same time
refer to Troy and Chicago, and now
Cleveland? A recent editorial in a
Cleveland paper says: "The Cleveland
Gary double platoon test will be easily
the most important work that the
Board Of Education will have in hand
in the next year or two. The success
or failure of this acknowledgements
economy will depend largely upon the
attitude of the school board toward Il.
DR.. L. p. Ayres realized this when he
said in a speech: The work Of putting
this system into effect can't be done un-
less the people who are doing 1t want
to do it and want 20 see il succeed ~

PRISONER TOTES SLOP
TO make HIS ESCAPE
Urt0n Supposed TO Have Had Ac-
cOmplice Who PurIOined Horse
TO Aid in Getaway.

John Urton, %, an inmate of the
county Jail, charged with adultery
made his escape Tuesday evening.
Another prisoner, a trusty at the
jail, was emptying slops and asked
Horace Chiffon, who was tempor-
arlly in charge of the bastile, to
allow Urton to assist with the work.
Chiffon granted the request and Ur-
ton helped carry tub of slop out
side. When short distance from
the Jail Urton dropped his end of
the tub and set sail for the tall pines
and at last reports was still sail
ing.
When Urton abandoned his end
of the tub the trusty shouted that
John was ION his way" Horace,
evidently thinking that one bird in
the cage was worth a two hitting
Tor the bushes, escorted the trusty
back to his cell and then went for
the official artillery. When he re-
appeared on the field prepared for
action the bird had fitted away.
Chiffon Immediately notified Dep-
uty Lon Cash who made preparations
to give chase. Officers went out in
an automobile and continued to
search all night The hunt was con-
tinued all day Wednesday, Deputy
Eliseo Martinez relieving Mr.. Cash.
Co-incident with the escape of
Urton, horse belonging TO Clarence
Holmes which was tied in front of
Johnson's pool hall disappeared
shortly after dark. Different parties
saw the horse with an unknown rid
er headed toward the fair grounds,
travelling in high. Holmes, upon
learning of the disappearance of his
horse began search. The animal
was found Wednesday morning tied
in the alley at the rear of Hoover's
blacksmith shop. The horse showed
signs of having been ridden.
Supposition has it that Triton had
an accomplice on the outside and
that Urton had the getaway plan
ned, even to carrying out the refuse.
Hence the episode of the missing
horse and unknown rider.
. Urton was arrested about two
weeks ago at the instigation of Chas.
Durbin, who brought the charge of
adultery against him.

could laugh no more, but at some
new sally, or we'll turned point OF

ENGINE WENT THROUGH BRIDGE

A man whose name no one seems
to be able to learn, narrowly escap-
ed injury and perhaps death when
the engine and tender of a thresh-
ing outfit he was moving went
through the timber bridge on the
Corrumpa northeast of town on the
kenton road Monday evening.
1t seems that the engineer debated
with himself as TO the safety of the
bridge, but as he wanted TO get
across, the affirmative won and he
made the venture. The engine ad-
vanced well onto the bridge before
the structure gave way. The engine
crashed through TO the bottom leav-
ing the separator nicely balanced on
the bank. The engineer crawled
out from the wreckage with nothing
to show for his experience but few
bruises according TO report.

FALL FROM WAGON CAUSES
PARALYSIS

Frank Gillworth was the victim
of a peculiar accident Tuesday even
ing which occurred when he was re-
turning to the Rob't Lane ranch
from Clayton with a load of sup
plies. The wagon on which he was
riding struck a chuck hole and Mr..
ciillworth was thrown to the ground.
Aside from slight shaking up he
seemed to feel no i'll effects from the
fall at the time. He climbed back on
the wagon and drove on 10 the ranch.
When he got off the wagon to open
the gate he discovered that his
right side was paralyzed. He called
for help and was brought to town
by DR., Slack who happened to be
passing at the time in his automo-
bile.
Frank seems to have been born
under the star of accidents" as
he has been the victim of breaks,
fractures, punctures and almost ev-

this accident seems to have awaken
ed dormant case of innamatory
rheumatism. He is contemplating
