FAkEN / 3 MASS NEE l
BOARD AS STO
About $50 mothers, fathers and
children of the McAlIister school dis
tTict met last night in their public
school and organized the McAlister
School Protectice assn. Speakers
accused the board of education OF
plans to abandon the school in the
interest of manufacturers and the
stockyards. A delegation is to visit
the school board tomorrow and pre-
sent demands.
Aid. Thomas Doyle said he is an
old pupil of the school, that it was
the first Chicago school in which
Sup't ShoOp was a principal, and it
isn't the quality nor location Of the
school that has put it in bad with the
board of education. He said:
IF they are allowed to get by with
what they have already done, the
school will be abandoned entirely.
Somebody in the central manufac-
turing district is interested in getting
the school removed; that is clear.
"Sup't ShOOp and Pres. Loeb deny
this. They say they are interested
only in cutting down the per capita
tax. I will meet your delegation at
the school board rooms and we will
ask them again at the school board
Offices what they mean.
-Four classTOOms have been tax
en- away from this school and trans
ferred to the Armour and McCleIand
schools. There are 213 children who
are now compelled to walk longer
distances to school and to cross Hal
sted, Racine and Union av. street
car lines. Those who go to the Nc
Cleland school must pass corner

where four children and one adult
have been killed by automobiles in
the last two years"
THE attendance at this school
ten years ago was 5O8," said Chair
man Arthur Gerber of 1851 S. Hal
sted St 1T is now 5O6 Not school
interests, but other outside interests,
want to remove this school, When
we see what is going on in the school
board we have a right to ask wheth-
er there is graft in this. While they
talk to us about reducing expenses
they are going to spend $4,000 for
an automobile. The highest-pTiced
car I know anything about is $4,000.
That will leave $1,000 for Smiling
Charley, the Chauffeur, and the rest
of it for gas to run the school board
through the year"
Mrs. George F. Tierney of 37O9 S.
Morgan st. said that with the City
Hall and the school board taking or
ders from manufacturers and stock
yards interests, about all that's left
for the people of the MCAlIister
school district is smoke, ashes and
taxes"
Why should the school board pay
81, 100000 for a North Side high
school and not have money enough
to repair the rickety wooden stairs
of this school in a working class dis
trict?" asked Mrs. Tierney. They
always say they haven't enough
money. If Armour paid his taxes as
you people do there would be enough
money to pay for school repairs.

Scare About Crop Loss Boosts
Corn Market.
Oats Also Up a Little-Farmers
Hold Them in Bins.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Weekly corn,
oats and provisions. Frost scares have
largely dominated the corn trade dur
ing the last week AS result prices
this morning showed gains of 3 Is to
s. h cents compared with week ago.
Oats were up 1 5s to II cents. Pro-
visions finished at range all the way
from 95 cents down to a rise of SIS
cents.
Buying of corn broadened out at
times in wonderful fashion when
danger appeared imminent that crop
maturity had been too long delayed to
escape killing frost. Active demand
from the seaboard did much to give
strength to the oats market.
Besides many farmers were said to
be holding back on sales of oats until
they are assured of the safety of corn.
There was also fear of wet weather
delay to threshing.
Arrivals of wheat. altho finally
showing some enlargement, proved
altogether too meager to satisfy an
urgent demand from mills.
Provisions averaged higher with
corn. Profit taking on the part of
holders, however, counted in some
cases as much more than an offset.

U. S. STANDS PAT
Peace Bait in German Reply to
Pope Not ,Alluring.
Kaiserism Must GO-Germany
ChOked by Embargo.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The central
powers reported reply to the vatican
peace proposal aroused only curiosity
here today.
Inasnuch as vague forecasts of it
gave no hope of fulfillment of Presi-
dent Wilson's demand for elimination
of kaiserism, authorities here showed
little interest.
The single possibility it offers is
that it will create new peace discus
with Americas war
work-and perhaps inspire the pope
to further proffers- That the United
States will stand pat on it's declara-
tions to the pope is certain; and the
allies will be with her.
The United States government is
positive that the tide can be turned
against Germany by both military and
economic blows and hence is not in
terested in any halfway peace offers
of Germany. Kaiserism must go
that is the sum and substance of
American demands.
Meantime, Germany is being choked
by the embargo.
Germany and Sweden at Outs.
This will become even more aggra-
waited by the Swedish German Mexi-
can exposures. One of their purposes
is to break up the alliance between
Germany and Sweden. Between the
embargo and the likelihood of a gov
ernmental house-cleaning in Sweden,
there is little chance that Germany
will get further supplies from her
| friend, the Swedish government. And,
with Argentina and other Latin
American countries now fully aware
! of German methods and aims on this
! continent, it is inconceivab BILE that any
gold or credits will be obtainable for
Germany in the south.

TO DIVIDE MEET!
Committee Would Split Teachers, Com
venfion in Quarters.

The committee for the State Teach
ers' association to investigate the mat
ter of splitting the annual state con-
vention, recommended in their report
to the directors today that the con-
veation be divided into four districts.
The committee also asked that the
membership fee in the association be
raised to 80.
Late this afternoon the directors had
not voted on the report but were still
discussing IT.
The report of the committee is the
result of what is claimed to be a con-
dition that has arisen because the
convention as whole is too large to
be held in any one city.
The report of the committee is not
effective until adopted by the board
Of directors and then adopted by the
teachers in the form of amendments
to the state associations constitution.
The vote of the teachers, providing
the report is adopted by the directors,
will be called at the convention in To-
peka this fall

"Luxury Industries" Get Fuel
After Houses Are Supplied.
Emergency Bureau to Handle
Acute Shortage Cases.
NO HOME SHALL FREEZE
But Situation Is Worst Ever
Faced by United States.
Fuel Dictator Will Revise Fig
ures, Raising Some.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Prompt ac-
ton was taken by the fuel admins
tration today to relieve serious coal
shortages and stimulate production.
So-called luxury industries will be
forced to wait for fuel until house
holds and necessary industries are
amply supplied.
Coal export to Canada has been put
under license restriction. Tentative
increases over the presidents prices
will be granted next week to certain
bituminous mines with high costs.
An emergency bureau in Admins
traitor Garfield's organization is ar
ranging immediate relief for acute
cases.
Garfield Optimistic.
Serious tho the situation is, Garfield
is certain the country will pull thru
the winter without any shutdown of
munition plants or public utilities.
Some luxury industries" may be
forced to close temporarily. He also
announces his determination that no
home shall freeze.
Investigation has revealed that
some bituminous miners were unfairly
scheduled in President Wilson's price
fixing. These will be given tentative
increases as soon as the president has
approved new schedules drawn by the
fuel administration and the federal
trade commission. These increases
are designed to show the government
means to be fair to the operators, re-
lieve uneasiness in the industry and
stimulate production.
| An eight per cent decrease of pro-
duction for the week ended September
8 accentuated the shortage somewhat
| but the falling off is believed due tc
| the Labor day holiday. Production tc
| June 80, this year, was the largest ir

Garfield's emergency bureau has beer
! formed to work with Judge Lowell

committee of the American Railwa,
association.
The fuel administrations actor
coupled with decreased car stora g
