DUAL SCHOOL SYSTEM FIGHT ON
IN SPRINGFIELD

The long fight for and against the
dual system of vocational training
has at last reached Springfield. Be-
fore the house and senate commit
tee on education, hackers and OPP
ponents of the plan, engaged in a
wordy battle yesterday.
John Walker, head of the State
Federation of Labor and Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, Sup't of Chicago
Schools, fought the measure propos-
ed by the men who want two systems
of education, one for the children of
the wealthy where the higher arts
can be taught and another for the
offspring of the workman where they
can spend their younger days learn
ing a trade.
The dual system, which would take
the schools from the control of the
board of education, and it is claimed,
put them in the power of big bust
ness, would make beasts of burden
out of our children" according to
Walker Adoption of the system
would sound the death kneel of union
labor.
Mrs. Young pointed out that voca-
tional twork was necessary but that
it was not fair to give one class men
tai and the other manual training.

child? Has it a mortgage on its life
10 or Is years? No! but for life Has
it no rights that we are bound to re-
spect? Had it any choice as to birth
or parentage? Was it consulted as
to it's prospects in life? On the con-
trary, it was conceived~in shame and
born to a life of humiliation and dis
grace; a legal and social outcast,
cursed by its parents folly; robbed
of its good name; deprived of its right
of inheritance; fatherless, homeless,
nameless, guiltless of evil itself, yet
this innocent soul comes into the
world with the mark of sin on it's
forehead; barred from any pride of
ancestry; branded a bastard"
The proposed law raises the age of
support from 10 to Is years; it makes
the, act misdemeanor to make ex-
tradition possible, as under the pres
ent law men found guilty in bastardy
cases frequently leave the state, leav-
ing their illegitimate children charges
on the county or other persons, and
places a penalty of not to exceed
$4,000. or Imprisonment in the county
jail, house of correction or work
house not to exceed three years or
both fine and Imprisonment in case
of failure to provide for the child.
Judge Goodnow has had copies of
the proposed law and arguments for
it's adoption printed and sent to every
woman's club and to the lawmakers
of Illinois.

He joined a Line regiment in the
early days of the war, and being an
excellent shot and a good mechanic,
was put in charge of a machine gun.
He and his gun were left by accident
in an isolated trench position when
his battalion was withdrawn, and he
had a continuous spell of forty-three
days in the forward trenches, much
of the time. completely cut off from
his army, before he regained his regi-
ment. By that time he was a physical
and mental wreck, and he was sent to
a hospital to recuperate. When his
leave was up, he confided to the Off
Ger in charge that his nerve was SO
shattered that he simply couldn't
bear to go back to the trenches. 81

FIND A DEAD MAN.
Suicide Near Santa Fe Tracks One
Mile East of Tecumseh.

Section men reported the discovery
of the dead body of a man, evidently a
suicide, found on the Santa Fe right
Of way about one mile east of Tecum-
sch. A revolver lay near the body and
a bullet hole in the temple showed
how his life had been taken. Those
who reported the find to the sheriff
stated that no identifying mark was
to be found upon the body and that
the man was stranger around Te-
cumseh. 1t was assumed that he had
selected the railroad right of way as
a sufficiently isolated place in which to
take his life.
Ed Carver, deputy sheriff, left this
morning in response to the notification
and later called an ambulance with
which the body was being brought to
Topeka this afternoon, and will be
held at the Shellabarger undertaking
establishment.

JOHNSON UNEASY
Rumor Says Negro Champion
Has Cause to Worry.
He Has Trouble Putting on the
Final Edge.

Havana, March 31-Arrangements
have been completed for affording po-
lice protection for the crowds during
the Johnson Willard fight next Mon
day. The race track and Havana
streets leading from stations of the
electric line to the track will be pO-
Iced by a double force. The mayor OF
Marianao, where the ring is Situated.
made arrangements with Colonel He
via. secretary of the interior, for
guarding all parts of the track and
ring with police, in addition to which
regular troops will be held in reserve
nearby.
The trolley company is arranging
fast service from the center of Havana
to the ring, using extra cars on this
lipe and lines from nearby towns as
the demand warrants.
Sentiment in favor of Willard seems
to be increasing rapidly and is affect
ing the betting odds. Plenty of mon
ey is till being offered on johnson,
but at shorter odds. Quotations now
are generally less than to l.
Willard hackers are holding off in
the hope of getting the former price

johnson Uneasy?
Reports are being heard with in
creasing frequency that Johnson is
having difficulty in putting on the
final edge. The drying out process is
said to be extremely difficult for him
on account of his age and he finds it n
constant struggle to deny himself wa
ter.
1t is now evident that johnson will
go into the ring heavier than in any
previous fight, probably at 22O or 225
pounds. Otherwise he appears to be
in fine condition. Nevertheless, DOUBT
is expressed quite generally that he
can go more than half of the is
rounds. His best chance appears to
be to beat down Willard during the
first fifteen rounds.
Willard is likely to attempt a slow
holding fight during the early stages.
The hot weather of the past few days
has made the pugilists cautious in
their work The temperature this
forenoon was above so. The road
work of both men was easy and their
public exhibition work later was to be
several rounds shorter than hereto

NOT AS MANY JACS
Topeka Is Better "LiquOrallyo
Than Last Year.
Eight Fewer DrunkS Than for
Quarter of 1914.
NUMBER OF ARRESTS, 1874
Decrease of More Than 100 in
Three Months Time.
Only Two Minors Into Custody
for Smoking.
NUMBER OF ARRESTS, 1894

Three hundred and ninety-four ar
rests were made by mem pers OF tne
Topeka police department In the LlfsI
three months of 1915. one huno[eu Z.
and thirty-one arrests were made for
drunkenness.
For January February and March
of last year the police docket SHOWS W
1914-a decrease of more than nun
dred for the first quarter of TINS year.
A decrease in the number OF arrests
for drunkenness is also shown IN
1914 the number of arrests for drunk
enness was 1879.
The docket also shows a decrease in
the number of freak arrests. Last year
was a bumper year for special Off
GERS and spoilers in arreStIng boys
smoking cigarettes and persons vlo-
lating the petty ordinances OF the city.
The pOlicewomen could easily count
the arrests made by them on their
fingers. This is probably explained by
q statement of city officials that it is
policewoman's duty to avoid hrlnglng
Juveniles and social V1olators INTO
court if possible.
In the first three months of this
year only two minors We're arrested
for smoking. Either the police are
allowing the citys famous anti-nico-
tine ordinance to rest awhile or
cigarette smoking youngsters are TAX
ing their "drags'' in private.
An Opium Joint.
The first arrest make in months for
keeping an opium joint was made
Tuesday night. Armed with liquor
warrants, a raiding party from head
quarters bagged big game and OBJ
tanned one of the most complete pipe
Iayouts that has been found in Topeka
for many day.
Although several Topeka merchants
have been ''stung' by passers of bad
checks recently the police blotter
shows only one arrest for forgery. In
March one arrest was made for keep
ing swine in the city.
FriSky Indians.
An unusually large number of In
dams have been brought before Judge
Huron in the last three months
Eleven were arrested. Invariably the
charge against the braves is drunken
ness.
One arrest for violation of the Sun
day labor law was made in February.
A local theater manager undertook to
open his house on Sunday, taking a
silver offering at the door instead of
charging admission. He was prompt
ly pinched by Joe Ross, chief of police.
Not a few of those arrested this
year were charged with more than
one offense. In this respect drunken
ness and disorder1y conduct orr
drunkenness and wife beating are
synonymous.
