GiUen S Minutes Sentence

Los Angeles, Sept. 26.-United
States District Judge Trippet yester-
day sentenced Mrs. Agnes Jeffries to
spend five minutes in the custody of
the United States Marshall on her
plea of guilty of sending scurrilous
postal cards and letters through the
mails. The woman said she had been
deserted with her four children at
Tucson, Ariz., by her husband, who
came to Los Angeles with another
woman. The letters and postal cards
complained of were written to the
woman who had wrecked her home,
she said.
The story of Mrs. Jeffries made a
deep impression on the court. "Many
a time l have washed clothes for my
neighbors at night and been COM
PEELED to wait until the moon came up
to hang them out, to get money to
feed my children" she said. She
showed where she had been cut by a
knife she said her husband used on
her.
81 think you have arrested the
wrong person, Mr.. Crane" said the
court to the assistant United States
district attorney.

To Teach English
to Foreigners

Americans need to learn to speak
English. This is one of the outstand-
ing facts brought home to all Amer
leans by the great war. Free institu-
tions can not be built upon illiteracy.
Slovenly English, moreover, is not
compatible with either good business
or community living.
As step toward repairing our ma
tional linguistic shortcomings the Ma
tional council of teachers of English
proposes to set aside the first week in
November for a celebration to be
known as American speech week. This
celebration is intended to develop a
powerful sentiment in favor of greater
clearness, correctness and appropriate
ness in the speech of all our people
a speech which shall be English and
not a foreign language. In schools
particularly will this celebration be
appropriate. Principals and teachers
are urged to appoint committees and
make active preparation for the cele-
bration.
Such a celebration has already been
carried out in large cities like Chicago
and in whole states as in Alabama.
The results of these experiences are
summed up in pamphlet called "a
Guide to Better American Speech
Week." compiled by the secretary of
the American speech committee of the
National Council of Teachers of Eng
fish and distributed at cost from the
office of the council, SOC West Sixty

New York, Sept. 26.-Last Wednes-
day was hot day for the month. APP
parently Edward Young of SO w.
136th St, didn't think so. Wearing a
fur overcoat, he wandered from the
cool basement where he worked, to
the subway station. "Hey, old man."
shouted Joseph Heller, broker living
in the house, whats the idea of the
wrapper. Where did you get it ?"
Young started to run and threw the
coat into an ice wagon. At Broadway
he was captured by Heller and later
charged with larceny of the coat.
In court Young admitted guilt by
saying, Judge, took the benny from
Mr.. Heller's place." and was held in

White Terrorists
Brighten Hungary
Hangings, Floggings, Buria
Alive and Prosecutions
Incriminate Noblemen.

Vienna, Sept. 26.-Circumstantial
accounts of brutality Of the Hungarian
white terrorists, which they allege
continue unchecked in the Trans-Danu-
bian region, are printed today by such
conservative newspapers as the Neue
Freie Presse and Arbeiter Zeitung.
The latter says that meetings are held
nightly to perfect the organization of
white groups to protect Premier Fried
rich in case civil war materializes.
The party is known as the "Awak-
ening Hungary" party, and is alleged
by the Arbeiter Zeitung to be centred
in @ movement headed by such men
as Counts Szechenyi, Esterhazy, Pom
grace and Salm, Baron Pronay and
other noblemen. According to this
newspaper, numberless hangings, whip
pings and extortions have taken place
against Jews and persons suspected
of Bolshevist tendencies, or of former
affiliations with the Reds.
Towns mentioned as places where
outrages have occurred are Simontorn-
va, Enyeng, Czelldomolk, Duna-Fold-
var, and Cali. In the latter place
twenty-five persons are alleged to
have been hanged summarily, nine in
Lengyeltoni, eight in another village
and four more in another. Numerous
instances are cited of the alleged fog
ging of Jews and the imposition of
fines amounting to the entire fortunes
of the victims, the money being ex-
tracted under threats of death. In
one town, the Arbeiter Zeitung de-
clares, a Cotholic priest appeared be-
fore the terrorists and swore on the
cross that the Jewish prisoners were
innocent. His oath was not needed
and the executions took place. A we'll
known Hungarian woman artist,
named Kukovicz, is said to have been
buried alive on suspicion of being in
sympathy with the communists.

BELLS MAKE SPLENDID MUSIC

Great Writer'S to Record Their

The lovely carillons Of bells In Bel

Victor Hugo, Longfellow, Macdonald.
Henry VanDyke and others have writ

46 bells In the tower Of st. RombOld
at Mechlin, or Malines, which wore
heard by Victor Hugo In 1916, gave
birth to poem which tradition says
he wrote with his ring upon the win
dow pane of little inn in the middle
Of the night. The theme Is 4 descrip-
ton Of the wonderful carlton music
at Malines. Another writer, william
Gortam Rice, who heard the great
master Of bells, Josef Dsnyn, play on
the carlton Of st. Rombold. has given
q splendid description Of the effect ct
this music upon him. He says:
"Sometimes In winter, after icicles
have formed, there comes thaw, and
one by one they tumble down gently at
flrst, then bolder In a mass they come
till, like an avalanche. they crash
down with a mighty roar. All Of this

It was simple. And every note seemed

DANGER IN CLASS-MINDED MAN

= Gov. j. p. Goodrich Of Indiana, in
a recent address welcoming returned
world war service men, referring to
the steel strike said he believed many
of the strikers were foreigners who
were unacquainted with the American
principles Of government.
"This is q government of laws and
not of men, or 1t Is not government
at all," he said. "And we have to stand
for obedience to law and respect for
established institutions. You are not
going to see the government torn
down by impious hands. which have
done nothing to build it up. The instl-
tutions of our country are challenged
as never before. The great danger
today is the class-minded man. he
