CLAYTON ASKS
EX-PEDAGOGUES
TO COME BACK
Hopes to Recruit Depleted Ranks
of Teachers From Re-
tired Veterans

The bureau Of education states that
Commissioner Of Education Claxton
is now appealing to the patriotism vi
former scnool teachers to NIL the rank
of the teaching profession depleted
by the war, and to school and state
authorities to repeal the existing laws
which prohibit married women from
teaching in the public schools.
The following statement is author
lied by the Commissioner:
Prom every part Of the country
come reports of large numbers OF
teachers leaving the schools ot county
and city to enter some branch Of the
military service of the country or tu
engage in clerical, commercial or in
dustrial occupations at salaries much
larger than those received as teach
ers.
Reports from normal schools indi
cate that numbers of students gradual
ed from them this spring will be less
than las year. Unless something can
be done to relieve the situation the
places Of many trained and experience
ed teachers will be taken by young
teachers without experience or profes
sional training.
There are, however, In the country
scores Of thousands Of persons, most
ly women of good scholarship and
training, who have had successful ex
perience as teachers but who have
retired from active service. Many Of
these might render valuable service
again In schools, as a means of relief
in the present crisis. recommend
that they be called again into active
service and that laws, ordinances and
regulations of school boards prohibit
ing married women from teaching in
public schools be suspended or repeal
ed." =.
The Commissioner urges that norm
al schools give special courses this
summer to former teachers, to en-
able them to enter the work again

DUAL SLAYER
HAS HEARING
Preliminary Examination to Be
Held at Linton This
.... Afternoon

Linton, n. D., March 20-Clarence
White, charged with the murder of
Charles D. Sloan lid r. S. Piatt at
Hazelton on March 4, was brought
here today for preliminary hearing.
Immediately following his arrest,
White was transferred to the Bur.
leigh county Jail at Bismarck, because
of the local prison being in an un.
sanitary condition. ..uas
White will be arraigned on two
charges of murder. He first shot and
killed his former employer, Charles
D. Sloan, following brief alteration
on the streets of Hazelton. Later, af-
ter White had given himself up to the
t1azelton village constable, but be.
fore the latter had deprived the killer
of his gun, Il. S. Piatt, brother.in-
law of Sloan, met his death at Whites
hands while endeavoring to avenge
the murder of his brother-in-law.
White Is sOutherner and crack
shot. He has taken the tragedy and
subsequent arrest and imprisonment
very calmly. At Bismarck he was re-
ported to have been a model prisoner
during the two weeks of his incarcer-
alton there. A great number OF Haz-
eleton people will appear at Whites
hearing as witnesses. Some of the
evidence which has been brought out
since the killing appears of damae-
ing nature, but 1t will not be known
until today's hearing how we'll SUBJ
stantiated these reports are. White
is single man. Sloan was the father
of large family, having married
daughter residing near HazeltOn. Pi.
att, who was but 20 years old, repre-.
senting the Standard Oil Co.. at Hazel
ton, leaves q young widow. The Sloan
estate is sone of the largest in Em-

Milwaukee, Wis.,, March co.
Outstanding features of yester-
days loyalty primary were a
five-fold increase in the socialist
vote, the overwhelming victory
of Joseph E. Davies, for the DEM
ocratic senatorial nomination,
and the close race between Irvine
L. ,Lenroot, the loyalist candi-
date, and James Thompson, who
carried the banner Of the LaFol-
lette republicans in the senator
ial. race Of that party.
Lenroot's supporters main
tanned that what advantage
there was on returns up to II
o'clock rested with Lenroot.
With ID counties missing, scat
tered reports from 81 gave Len
root 56,696, and Thompson 54,-
763. The missing counties and
precincts are so: situated as to
make an accurate forecast i'm
possible, although it appeared
that Lenroot's home district
which is always slow to report,
would give him majority suffi-
cient to overcome that of Thomp-
son in the city and county Of
Milwaukee. 1t may be days be-
fore the deciding votes are in
from the backwoods.
In Milwaukee,, Berger cut
heavily into the Thompson vote,
and polled practically as many as
Lenroot and Thompson together.
The Milwaukee vote on fairly
complete returns was Berger,
1896; Thompson, 9,917; and
Lenroot, 6,181.
Socialist Vote impressive.
1t was generally conceded that it
was only the heavy socialist vote
which prevented the nomination of
Thompson by an unmistakable mar
gin.
In the state legislature, the Socialist
members ordinarily vote with the La.
Toilette faction. 80. ,.... ...... -.
In Milwaukee the socialist vote for
municipal officers in the non-partisan
primary was even more impressive.
Mayor Hoan, socialist, received the
highest number of votes Of any Of
the four candidates. estimated close
ly at 2O,S23. Under the nonpartisan
primary system, the two receiving the
highest number of votes become the
candidates at the regular election.
The socialists also nominated all their
men for all city offices and six of the
aldermen at large.
Narrowing Lenroot's Lead.
Returns from scattered precincts up
to noon, with IA counties missing, mar.
rowed Lenroot's lead, according to
computings by the Milwaukee Journal.
1t showed Lenroot 6O,643, Thompson
60.1O9; Berger 1899.
OF the missing counties, all but
Waushara and Marquette were claim
ed as normally favorable to Lenro0t,
by the Lenroot leaders. Five of them
are in Lenroots congressional dis
trict.
