Superintendent Todd Off
To Attend Teachers Meet

Superintendent John Todd, of the
city schools, leaves this afternoon for
Spokane to attend the three-day ses-
sion Of the Inland Empire Teachers
association. He is accompanied by his
assistant, Miss Margaret Cosper, and
by Miss Edna Sterling, head Of the
English department. Miss Sterling is
also member of the Oregon Text book
commission and her visit to Spokane
is partly for the purpose of gathering
ideas and data with regard to the text
book problems, which will be dealt
with in the sessions.
While Supt. Todd is not assigned to
any subject on the program it may be
expected that his voice will be heard
in discussions and in enlightcning oh
sarvations from his work in this city.
The program issued shows a most re-
markable scope as it takes up cduca-
tion in its relations to postwar prob
lens, its relation to the future of de-
mocracy, the operation Of the Smith
Hughcs act, economics, manual train
ing, club work, extensions of scientific
training, and other subjects which
twenty five years ago were scarcely
thought of in connection with the pub
lie school.
On the program appear the names
Of some Of the foremost educators of
the northwest. Oregon being represent
ed BY twelve speakers. In addition to
these, there are number Of promi-
nent leaders from the middle west and
from the Atlantic cities.
Besides the scientific and pedagogie
discussions, the committees have ar
ranged a generous number of musical
and entertainment features. Altogeth-
or the association is cultural treat |
that is to be envied for any one who |
can attend.

TEMPORARY INSANITY
MISS GARRISONnS PLEA
Trial Of Girl Who Poisoned
Wife Of Man She Loved
Opens In Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, April Temporarily
insane when she poisoned Mrs. Grace
Storrs two weeks ago, sur sane now.
This VAS the plea entered this after
noon in Judge Tallman 5 court by Ruth
Garrison. the ls-year-old girl who con
fessed she had placed stryehnine in the
fruit salad eaten by the wife OF Dudley
StOrrs, the man with whom she was
enamored.
The Garrison girl answered "Not
guilty" when the question was put to
her by the judge.
When court convened & large crowd
had gathered in the Railways and court
room to catch a glimpse of the youthful
I defendant.
''Not guilty bv reason of insanity at
the time Of the commission OF the
crime" was the technical wording of
I the plea. Accompanying the oral state
ment was also a written plea setting
forth that since the date Of the crime,
Ruth Garrison has been sane and would
be safe to be allowed at large"
The extraordinary plea is made neees-
sary, the lawyers explained afterward,
under the laws of the state, in oruei ~
give Ruth Garrison fighting chance
for liberty. The law requires a written
statement at the time of entering a plea
of insanity in which the court must be
apprised as 10 whether the defendant
still claims to be insane or whether san
ity has been recovered.
1t will be up to the jury when she is
tried, to determine first whether Miss
Garrison is guilty Of murder, notwith-
standing her plea of insanity, Or wheth-
er she is innocent by reason of insanity.
In the event she is found "nOt
guilty." the jury viii have to answer
the specific question of whether she is
still insane If the jury says "no,"
she will go free. If the jury believe
eyes" and that she is still unsafe to
be at large, Miss Garrison viii be sent
to the insane ward of the penitentiary

WOOL COTTON
Anderson County Man Grow. Staple
Worth 81 Pound. ~,

worth " FOUND. {fysf
w. B. Jones, of Brushy Creek town.
ship, Anderson county, brought TO the
city Friday morning several bolls Of
wool" cotton, the fibre ofHwhich re-,
sembles wool very closely. both In
texture and in length. The fibre Is
several times as long as staple cotton
and is said to, be normally worth in
the neighborhood OF 81 per pound. I
The historyof the wool cotton
grown by this, anderson county farm
er is interestipG Beginning with the
seed from only one lock of the cot
ton, which had been imported from
Australia, Mr.. Jones handpicked the
lock and planted the seeds in a fer
tile spot near his home. All Of the
stalks with the exception of four
were killed by the cut-worms, he
stated. .r, l!,
The surviving stalks are higher
than mans head, Mr.. Jones stated
and each contained more than 15e,
bolls. Farmers for many miles about
came to view the strange cotton while
bolls were put on exhibition at the
Pickens county fair and at a number
of other fairs in the Piedmont section.
Many bolls were readily sold by Mr..
Jones at 10 cents each at the various
fairs, while many others were given
complimentary to farmers throughout
Anderson, Pickens and Greenville
counties. ,,,. '
Mr.. jones thinks that there Is q
wonderful future ahead Of those who
plant the cotton, although he says the
seed will be scare for a number Of
years to come. His object in scat
tering the seed through this section
was to have, sufficient farmers inter-
ested as to encourage the cultivation
of the new cotton. Mr.. Jones has re-
tanned sufficient seed to cultivate one
fourth an acre Of the cotton.-Green-

character of the soil that had been
used upon it. The soil had come out Of
the fields adjoining and in Mr.. Smiths
judgment the packing qualities of 1t
were just about the right thing. He was
evidently quite proud Of the work along
here; but he did not say anything to
indicate the fact. He was rather In
clined to leave the road to speak for

The heaviest work. so far. 1t appears.
has been done between Bethany church
and Glover. over what is known as the

completed. There are six miles of It
and there was considerable dirt to
move along here. The total expense
averaged about $1,000 or $1,4oo a mile,
and the improvement over the road as
1t originally stood. Is easily reckoned at
from so to ) per cent.
According to the estimates of Mr..
Smith. the expenditures 80 far have
averaged about ST. 100 per mile on each

where the expenditures were several

very small. aiGl
So far as information can be OBJ

Railroad Bill.
Representative w. F. Stevenson, of
the Fifth District, has made the fol-
lowing statement explaining why he
voted against the Esch railroad bill:
Il. Because it provided for gov
ernment guaranty to railroads for six
months after they were returned,
which, it is estimated, would cost the
taxpayers $5OO,OOO,0O) and was merely
a gift to the railroads.
80. Because it provided that a rail-
road, 10 get the benefit of the guaran-
~, must apply in sixty days for a
further raise in rates which it is ex-
pected will be % per cent and this
will annually cost the people in freight
and passenger service around $780,
100000. The people expect a reduc-
tion Of rates, not an increase. They
were inceased 25 per cent on freight
and 80 per cent. on passenger traffic,
and to add 25 per cent. more to that
is indefensible.

This is untrue. The president already

that he expected to return them De-

legislation or not. l am opposed to

BRITISH WAR DEBT.
Proposition to Pay il by the Sale Of
Church Property.

Proposition to Pay it by the Sale of
Church Property.
Observers Of Great Britain's financial
problems says a London dispatch, at
tach some significance made recently
that the main burden Of paying off the
huge national debt created by the war
should be laid upon the Church of
England and the Church Of Scotland,
more particularly on the former. The
proposal is that all their property, in
cluding Westminster Abbey, should be
sold and converted into cash for the
relief of the debt-afflicted country.
The attention attracted by the idea
is due largely to it's source it being
brought forward by "The Statist," one
Of the widely read journals Of finance
and trade. The writer Of the article
asserts that the annual interest charge
of 100000, which he estimates
will hang like a milestone around the
nations neck unless some means Is
found to get rid Of it.
Hence the necessity Of making a
large hole in the debt "by one large
sacrifice" with those who have the
most money contributing the most in
the emergency.
There is no reason" argues the
writer, "why the Church of England
should be supported by the whole pop
ulation. 1t is not believed in BY the
whole population, and therefore II
has lost all right to extract support
from those who do not attend its SER
vices What is wanted now is that
the whole property of the church
without exception, should be used for
the freeing of the country from debt.
1T has been suggested that very lit
tie could be forgot Westminster Alb
! bey. We differ entirely. We believe
that very large sum could be got for
Westminster Abbey. The wise course
would be to put the Abbey up at auc-
ton and allow every great church to
bid for it as much as they please"

ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT.
State Game Warden Makes Interesting
Ruling.

Persons caught in the act of violat-
ing the game laws of the state may
be arrested by the game wardens with
out warrants, but in cases Of informa-
tion no belief warrants are necessary.
This is an opinion rendered by Chief
State Game Warden of Columbia. Mr..
Gibbes says in a letter to Dan T.
Woods, York county game warden:
"A game warden has right to make
an arrest where the party is actually
caught in the commission Of an offense
against the game laws. In cases Of in
formation and belief or in catching
up with party after ne has once got
ten away, it is necessary to swear out
a warrant We are sending you some
prosecution records and law pam
phiets under separate cover"
"A man does not have to post his
land in order to make it unlawful for
parties to hunt on it. No man has right
TO fish or hunt on the lands of another
without permission, but whenever a
man buys a license from us and we
find him hunting on the lands of others
we take it for granted that he has per-
mission and do not molest him unless
the owner of the land asks us to help
protect his property. In such cases we
insist that the owner of the land shall
prosecute the case himself. The fines
for trespassing do not come to this of
fee tc be paid into the game protec-
ton fund and where cases are brought
by the owners one-half of the fines
goes to the owners and the other half
either to the county or state"
