PARIS, March 24.-The use one
French school teacher made of the
treaty of Versailles was revealed
today when Stephen Moret. a for
mer soldier, complained to the min.

to sit up all one night copying the
long document, as a punishment for
truancy, because the teacher de-
manded that the task be completed
by morning.

of the spirit disturber.
At 2 o'clock in the morning tie
agonizing voice of a woman an
nounced the arrival Of the ghost.
and when two wagonloads OF
police arrived, they found the
twenty negroes huddled on a
street corner in their night-clothes,
sobbing and praying. They were
taken to the nearest station and
locked up on a charge Of disturb

Ice Sale Is Stopped

In Chicago

of people who attempted to buy ice
yesterday were met with refusal.
The companies say they are for

Union to sell any ice on holidays
or to individuals. The union heads
retort the companies are in trust
whose rules forbid any of the
twenty-six members to sell on
holiday. Unions and companies
agree that there is a contract
whereby union drivers are not re-
ouired to work on a holiday fol-
lowing a Sunday, and people who
desire ice must stock up on the
previous day. The poor suffered
consequently.
One dealer defied all rules and
sold ice to every applicant who
could prove there was a sick per-
son in the family or that ice was
wanted for babies. If the alleged
"fine" of 5000 for each violation
of the rule is inflicted upon him it
