IMPORTANT MEASURES AT
MAY SCHOOL ELECTION

At the regular May elections
this year, in addition to the usual
questions to be voted upon. there
will be two questions of extra i'm
portance to come before the peo-
pie. These questions are County
uniformity of text books and
County superintendency. l deem
it unnecessary to discuss the i'm
portance of these two questions
with the people of Hampstead
county, but | take this method of
reminding you Of them and re-
quest that you call the attention
of the voters to them on or before
election day, May Is, 1915.
County Uniformity: The pres
ent six-year contracts for books
over the county, valid since 1909,
expires this year and unless
Uniformity is readopted, t h e
present system Of having the
same books all over the county
will b discontinued. County
Uniformity means a great saving
to the parents and great con-
venience to the 6lldren, so let us
maintain our Nv them efficient
school system g,he can l.g to re-
adopt a unifolfAsm i of text
books over thee dSto~rlr
Co. Superint q; There
are a number Of NJ Is in the
state which have a COUNTY, super
intendent, and there has been a
marked change in the progress
and educational development of
those counties over those which
have no superintendent. What
has been beneficial to other
counties will also be beneficial to
Hampstead. Let us get aboard
the band wagon of educational
progress and. adopt County SUI
perintendency this year at the
regular school election.

Special to the TELEGRAPH.

Fulton April 3O.-Although the

the government gauge here reg.
istered 1872 feet at noon today
(Friday), no breaks have occurred
in the Fulton, Shuts plantation
or Barney Bend levees, though
they are being closely watched.
The situation in Little River
and Miller counties, however, is
becoming grave, as seriou $
breaks have occurred there and
large territory is inundated.
At the Homestead place, three
miles above here, break in the
levee has occurred and another
serious break ten miles above
here, at the Temple farm, is re
ported. Practically all the coun-
try from the Frost plantation to
Buzzard Bluff is under water.
Most of the planters have needed
the warnings and driven their
stock to safety, so the loss from
that source will be light.

PANAMA CHANNEL
; MONTHS AWAY
Yards of Earth Slide
Faster than Dredges Can
Remove II.

Panama, Oct. 10-A careful survey
Of the slide area In the Galliard cut
reveals that there probably are TO-
100000 cubic yards of earth in motion,
which must be taken out by dredges
before q permanent channel is possible.
This is the conclusion reached by the
canal engineers, who concede that there
is little hope Of opening the waterway,
even for temporary use, much peIore
the first of next year.
The present rate OF wet excavation
is a million yards month, whlcn
which would require not less than ten
months to remove the mass now slid
ing into the canal faster than the
dredges can take it out. 1t is said that
the canal bottom often bulges up
fifteen feet above the water. due 10 the
tremendous weight of the hillsides.
The area of motion is about l75
acres. the greatest in the history OF
the canal. Ii extends $500 feet along
bo.h banks, with an average Of prob
ABLY 1 500 feet back TO the centre line
Of the canal prism.
Major General George W. Goethals,
Governor of the Canal Zone, has not
vet made an official announcement con-
cerning the opening of temporary
channel. but it is believed shipping In
terests have been told of the situation
and il is probable the most of the one
hundred ships now awaiting passage
will be ordered to their destinations by
other routes.

TREATING CEASES
AT LONDON BARS
Each Person Must Hereafter Pay
for His Own Drink.

London, Oct. 1.-The new anti
treating regulation in the use and sale
of alcoholic drinks goes into effect in
London and the surrounding district
to-day.
It Is the most radical and far-reach-
ing effort for the curtailment Of drink
ing yet tried, for it agects nearly
100000 persons, and violations Of the
regulation are punishable by fine of
$500 and six months in prison. The
authorities have given notice that these
penalties will be inflicted without
mercy on offenders.
The law will curtail the consumption
of alcoholic liquors by 80 per cent, and
unless 1t is effective it will be followed
by an order curtailing the hours Of
sale. The recent report that order al
ready had been drafted for a curtail-
ment of hours was premature" ac-
cording to officials, and there will be
no such curtailment until the Board Of
Control has time to observe the effects
of anti-treating.
All cafes, hotels. clubs and liquor
dealers are compelled to exhibit promi-
nently a copy of the anti-treating
ordinance, which says plainly that
"each person must give his order and
pay for his own drink" The only ex-
ception to the rule Is that drinks or
dered with full meal may be paid for
by host.

STEAM GEYSERS WET
FIFTH AVE. STROLLERS
Service Pipe Bursts, Ripping Up
Asphalt-BlOcks Traffic.

The bursting Of q steam service
pipe below Fifth Avenue, at Fifty
third Street, last evening, ripped five
holes in the asphalt, and sent jets
of vapor roaring skyward, accompanied
by a dirt shower. For half an hour
the spurts of steam played like foun-
tains in the centre of the avenue,
soaking crowd Of spectators with
the condensed drops which fell in
showers. All traffic on the block was
cut Off.
Until the pipe was turned off Fifth
Avenue resembled Yellowstone Park
when the geysers are especially busy.
The vapor swept eighty feet into the
air, where IL was caught by the wind
and distributed for several blocks IN
the shape of q localized shower. Shale
and dirt, thrown high in the air, fell
rafting on the roofs of nearby build
ings.
Immediately after the steam burst
forth reserves from the East Fifty
first Street station were ordered out
and the block was closed At its
Fiftv-fourth Street end big crowd
of spectators gathered 10 watch the
displav. They did not linger long,
however. for the south breeze changed

Cattle Disease, Rare Among

Within a Week.

George T. Stackpole, seventy-one. q
lawyer and former school principal,
Of Riverhead, Long Island, is dying in
Bellevue Hospital of anthrax. a pc
culiar disease which frequently affects
cattle in tropical South America, but
rely attacks man. A few days ago he
noticed a small infection on the back
Of his neck. DR.. II. NJ. Silver, of 276
Madison Avenue, sent him to the
French Hospital, in West Thirty-fourth

Physicians observed Saturday that
the boil-like eruption had grown larger.
Remembering that John Miller had died
in Bellevue last Wednesday of anthrax,
they invited Bellevue doctors TO look at
the patient He was taken TO that in
stitution, where he was placed in an
isolated ward Last night he was told
he had not more than twenty-four
hours to live.
Shortly after midnight a telegram
from the dying mans son, at Dart

he was. speeding TO New York. Mr..
Stackpole, knowing he had only few

also recited to his wife and daughter,

CAR APPOINTS
DUMA MEMBER
TO MINISTRY
Leader of Extreme Right
Gets Portfolio of
Interior.
tBy Cable 10 The Tribune.l J

London, Oct, 10.-For the first time
in the history of the Duma one Of It's
members has been appointed to the
Ministry.
Prince Cherbatoff, Minister Of the
Interior, has been allowed 20 retire.
He will be succeeded by Alexei Khvo-
stoff, Court Chamberlain and leader OF
the Extreme Right in the Duma, ac-
cording TO Reuter- dispatch from
Petrograd. Alexander Samarin, Proc
urator-General of the Holy Synod, has
also retired.
In the appointment Of Khvostof OBJ
servers here see another defeat for
bureaucratic circles. The decision to
convoke the Duma after 1t had been
prorogued through the influence Of the
reactionary party was blow at the
Goremykin following.
That decision was reached only after
a vigorous plea by representatives Of
the Zemstvos. Goremykin and his ad-
herents fought to prevent the move.
They had succeeded in having the
Duma prorogued, for they had objected
TO the reform programme put forward
by the majority in the chamber, COM
prising the liberal and progressive ele-
ments, and had threatened to resign.
Measures were taken TO still popular
Indignation.
Khvostoff now enters the Cabinet.
Prince Cherbatof was the most pro-
gressive member of the Ministry, but
his resignation has been expected for
some time. His appointment was cln-
cession to the critics OF the bureau
cracy With his resignation, foe OF
the reactionaries was eliminated from
the Goremykin Cabinet.
But another, a member Of the popu-
lar assembly, has been appointed to
the place. Khvostoff was at one timc
reputed reactionary, but In the Duma
he has often expressed sentiments
strongly in opposition 70 the govern
ment.
The measures Khvostof has urged
have not found favor with the bureau
cracy, despite the fact that &c has
been the leader of the Extreme Right,
one Of the parties that have not joined
the progressive movement. While I e
appointment might be considered in the
nature of q compromise, the fact that
the new Minister is Duma member
and has not been hard and fast re-
dictionary is considered another defeat
of the bureaucratic circles.
