81 1915 900 were announced in the an
nual report Of the General Education
Board, issued yesterday. The board
was founded by John D, Rockefeller to
promote education in the United States
''without distinction of race, sex or
creed"
A half million dollars was appropri-
ated to the Harvard graduate school.
Drury college Of Springfield, Mo, and
Tulane university, New Orleans, re-
ceived $500, 900 each. Others included
were Agnes Scott college, Decatur, Ga,
Sl75,0 900; West Virginia Wesleyan col
lege, Buclthannon, w. Va, $4,000,

Referring to Mr.. Rockefeller's recent
gift of $4,000 900, Of which $4,000, 900
was for medical education, the boards
report says that it will now be possible
to aid medical schools whose clinical
departments are not on fulltime ba-
sis. The system of university clinical
teaching organized at Johns Hopkins,
Washington university and Yale will
be introduced at the University Of Chi
caRo and at Vanderbilt university.
As result Of the boards survey of
public education in Delaware last year,
the report says that a comprehensive
school code modern type has been
adopted A similar survey is in prog
ress in North Carolina and appropria-
tions have been made to supplement
funds provided locally for surveys in
Virginia and in Alabama.

'WAD MULLAH" LONG
4 TROUBLE MAKER
He Began Stirring Up Discord in Soma
Hiand in 1896 After Making
Pilgrimage to Mecca.

New York, March l-Mohammed Bui
Abdullah, the Mad Mullah' Of Soma
liland, against whom British and ltal,
ian forces recently have been successful
with tanks and aircraft, but who HIM
self escaped, has caused trouble Tor the
British for many years.
He began stirring up the natives OF
Somaliland in 1895, after making phi
grimage to Mecca and his holy wars"
sometimes have attained considerable
success. In 1899 dispatches said he
was leading an uprising in the interior
Of Somaliland. and it was suggested
that "a military promenade be taken
against him That promenade grew
into a desultory campaign which took
three wears and cost the British govern
ment Sl5.000,000 Even then, his pow
err was only temporarily broken by the
battle of tidballi, for he fled with the
remnant of his forces to Italian terri
tory, destroying wells az he went and
thus making pursuit impossible.
While he was only one of the lesser
religious chiefs of his country, his pill
grimage to Mecca and his zeal in
preaching the Moslem faith augmented
his influence until he had collected a
large army, in which were some OF the
best fighting tribes in that part of
Africa
He preached war for the protection
of Islam and advocated the eXtermina-
ton of whites, and with the increase of
his power began a crusade, aided by
dervishes, which finally extended over
II - Ga,,,a lS1ap
As the result of an agreement
reached in December. 1905, between
Great Britain and Italy to offer the
Mullah an assignment of a settled
sphere in Somaliland, together with
grazers' rights in certain parts Of Brit
ish and Italian territory he undertook
to observe peace toward Britain and
Italy.
His next outbreak of consequence
was in 1910, when he started fero-
cious campaign against the sultanates
under British protection, and slaugh-
tered hundreds Of tribesmen friendly to
the British Wide areas were laid
waste and towns ra2ed, The natural
obstacles Of the torrid desert country,
combined with the Mullah's fanatieism,
won out, and the British decided to
evacuate the country, for the time
being In 1915 he was again reported
to be stirring up the tribesmen against
the British, and his adherents were
scattered by British forces.
"Mullah" in Somaliland means lead
en-" and because OF Mohammed Bui Alb
dullah's fanaticism and his campaigns
for determination Of whites, hs re-
ligious gained the title OF Mad
Mullah"

ONLY ONE CHILD EXEMPT.
From the Application of the Child La
Dor Law.

In the United States one child in
one factory may be legally employed
for more than eight hours day. This
privileged individual was granted his
exemption from the federal child labor
law BY Judge James Z. Boyd through
an Injunction preventing the employer
of the child from discharging him or
limiting his hours of work. To all IN
terested in children. this will be a
gratifying piece of news, for It had
been generally thought that Judge
Boyd's decision affected the employ
ment OF minors in the entire western
judicial district of North Carolina,
In a letter to the national child la
Dor committee, Miss Mia F. Allen,
head OF the child labor tax division
Of the treasury department, says.
Unlike the situation under the fed
eral child labor laws, declared uneon-
stitutional June 3, 1913, the injunction
secured in the case OF the federal child
labor tax law applied only to the EN-
ployment OF one child in the Anterior
mills, Charlotte, \. c.
The child labor tax law has been
and is being enforced in all sections
of the country, including the western
judicial district of North Carolina.
II should be remembered that the
federal child labor tax law applies only
to mines, quarries, factories and sim
liar establishments. It is estimated
that IS per cent Of the working chill
dren in this country are in industries
not covered by the law.

NEW HAVEN SYSTEM
ADOPTED PLAN
Boston & Maine Is Nearly
Dug Out of Snow
Blockade

Boston. March New England rail
roads inaugurated their return to pr"
waite ownership to-day by curtailing
passenger train service on several lines
as means of expediting needed fuel
and food deliveries delayed by the re-
cent storms and freeze-ups. Firty one
trains were taken off the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, ane
although the other roads made fewer
cuts in service, they changed their
schedules to give freight transporta-
tion the preference.
Nearly normal service. consistent
with the new schedule, was possible
on most of the lines as result OF
the efforts of thousands of railroad EN-
ployes and volunteers to dig out the
snow covered freight yards and june
ton points on Saturday and yesterday
Several branch lines were operated to-
day for the first time since last
Wednesday and it was announced that
with continuation OF favorable
weather, normal conditions would be
possible before the end of the week.
Officials of the New Haven road an
nounced the start of a concerted drive
to move the 1000 freight cars stalled
in wards and on sidings. The sending
of these cars to their destinations will
remove the danger of the food short
age already being felt in many Of the
smaller cities and towns in this dis
trict. The passenger trains taken off
to-day will be restored as soon as the
freight congestion is overcome, 1t was
said.
The Boston and Maine, which was
most seriously affected by the storm
of last week, was reported sufficiently
clear for operating purposes except at
isolated points. Residents OF cities and
towns along the lines turned out in
large number yesterday and cleared the
tracks and sidings and in several in
stances cleared up branch lines several
miles in length. Most of them had vol
unteered their services and were con-
siderably surprised when they were
given a wage order calling for the days
pay of track worker
Railroad officials estimated that more
than $4,000 men swung picks or welded
shovels yesterday in the concerted ef-
fort to help the roads out of their diff
ficulties.

WILSON SIGNED RAILROAD BILL
In Face of Determined Opposition By
Railroad Workmen.

Washington, D. c., March Pres
ident Wilson Saturday night signed the
bill restoring the railroads to private
ownership at 1901 a. M. to-day. The
president attached his signature in the
face of determined opposition by organ
lied labor, which had gone to such an
extent that the American Federation of
Labor. the four great railway brother
hoods and also the Farmers National
Council had asked him to veto the
measure.
In a letter to the railway unions and
the brotherhoods the president refused
to grant their request to appoint spe-
eial wage tribunal to pass upon the
pending demands for increases in pay,
Instead, he declared that he believed
the bipartisan board as provided in the
legislation enacted by Congress would
not only be fair and just, but will be
found to be particularly in the interest
of railroad employees as a class"

NAMES VANISHED
GRANITE INDUSTRY
There Are Only Two Places Where
Operations Are Being Carried On
Will the Industry There
Come Back?

Will the granite industry OF Maine
once pointed to with pride by every
native orator. ever come back asks
the Boston Sunday Globe. Dwindled
from more than half hundred active
plants, each employing from 30 up To
hundreds of men, to only two granite
towns where a good man can probably
get a lob, the ruins of Names once big
thriving and profitable industry are
mournful to contemplate.
Abandoned works are found all over
the state, quarries filled with water,
tumble down cutting sheds, weather
beaten and battered boarding houses
and perhaps few derricks still stand
ing like skeletons.
The products of these once busy
places are lasting monuments scattered
all over the eastern United States.
Every city has many buildings OF
Maine granite. There are thousands OF
memorials in stone, many beautiful
works of art are to be found almost
anywhere in the white, gray, pink, red,
brown and black of Maine granite, for

Success in the
Carnival

Mortified, March l.-EXultant from
The victory over Mddlebury of AZ to "a
in the first basketball game of the state
championship series, the cadets OF Nor
witch university enthusiastically opened
the second day OF the winter carnival
with toboggan and skiing. Over a doz-
en- men tried out on the new ski jump,
built by the committee near the base
ball diamond. There was great com
petition in the jumping for distance,
which was won by i. A. Holder, ri, ~
feet being his best. Ten toboggans
were in constant use on the slide next
to the ski Jump. As much sport was
made in the spills as in the long fast
ride one got if everything went we'll.
About noon a large party OF cadets,
faculty and friends left on snowshoeS
for steak roast-off in the hills The
capacity of the smallest eater was
greatly increased by the long hike, the
smell of the pines, the cracking OF i've
big fires and that non-resisting odor
of sizzling steak, cooked in the open
AT 3 o'clock, two picked teams
cIashed in very exciting, ii not sci
entifc, game of hockey. The rink, be-
cause of the continual fall of snow Of
the past weeks, was not in the best OF
condition. The windows on the parade
side of the barracks were crowded with
cadets and friends watching the game.
An inter-class meet was then held
on the lower parade There was much
excitement and mirth in the series of
events, some of which We're 200-yard
and Il mile snowshoe race, obstacle,
three legged potato, and relay snow
shoe races. A 20O-yard ski run was
contested.
At 8 o'clock the class Of 1922 pro-
duced its great minstrel show, featur-
ing its zone and only jim Whitney,
Northrop, its six-piece orchestra, and
one fine circle of comedians. There was
hardly time to breath between the
bursts of laughter. The minstrel show
was by far the most entertaining and
enjoyable part of the carnival pro-
gram.
The winter carnival of Norwich uni
versity came to close to the regret
of all Sunday afternoon in the sleigh
rides, hikes and open house at all the
fraternities The class Of 1922 are to
be congratulated upon their success.
