Fairview Notes

These glorious October days make III
glad, One day last wee K the teacher
and children decided to go scalcybarA
hunting for the weather was too fine tC
stay indoors or to follow ordinary per
suits. There had been stiff little
wind from the north and great flocks OF
wild geeseshad been seen winging their
ways to the warmer climes, There
was just enough hint of Jack Frost in
the cir to make our blood tingls, And
then too we knew where number OF
scaly trees were and we were sure that
the ground would be covered with rich
brown nuts. So with one accord we SET
off at noon. The boys ran wildly ahead
playing Hare and Hound while the
girls went skipping along laughing and
singing snatches of the Bonnie Blue
Flag" Even the teacher forgot his
dignity and became one of US. An hour
later we all returned, not empty hand
ed. Each had a nice bay of nuts.
After we rested while we were ready
foi good afternoons work. We felt
that 1t was great just to be alive.
The pupils are doing tee janitors
work comparatively. We take turns ct
sweeping and are using our money thus
earned for our own good. All ready. we
have bought new pencil sharpner
and have subscribed for number Of
magazines, Among these we have the
Youths Compsnion." ''Girlhood and
Boyhood Days."
We mean to buy more msgsziens,
ETC., il our funds will justify. We
hope to add some books to our library.
Then, too, these magazines, when they
have been read, will be filed away to
be read over again. Our teacher says
we must read and read and read.
We are to bring up composition
next week entitled 'How | hope to
spend my next four years." We have
not been accustomed to writing com.
positions but feel sure that If we take
pains with 1t we willsucceed in writing
a very good one. SECRETARY

DIES IN CHICAGO WARD PEUD.
Licari, Political Lieutenant of Mur- dered D'Andrea, Is Slain.

Chicago. May 27.-Michael Licari. political lieutenant and intimate friend of the late Anthony d.Andrea, and a member of the Italian-Ameri- can Educational club, a d'Andrea po- litical organization, was shot to death yesterday at Thirty-seventh street and Wentworth avenue. The shooting is believed to have been a resumption of hostilities in the Nineteenth ward political feud that had already cost the lives of four men, including that of d'Andrea himself
 Licari told friends he feared for his life and moved from tho trouble zone to the South Side. where he purchased a saloon in the Black Belt. A day or two after Ltcari retreated, his chief, d'Andrea, was murdered on his door step by two gunmen.
 After Licari's murder the police ar rested seven persons on suspicion but later they were released. We are working principally on the theory that it was Licari's former affiliations in the Nineteenth ward that caused his murder" said Chief of Detectives Michael Hughes.

 New York, May 27.-Although at torneys for both plaintiff and de- fendant in the Stillman divorce action declared yesterday that they were preparing for the hearings scheduled to take place before Referee Daniel J. Gleason at Poughkeepsie next Wednesday and Thursday, it was learned from a person friendly to Mrs. Stillman that a settlement of the suit appeared more probable than it had the day before.
 The hitch in the negotiations has been reported to be MT. Stillman's in- sistence that Mrs. Stillman bind her self to go abroad and remain for at least five years. Word was received by Mrs. Stillman's attorneys from MT. Stillman's friends yesterday that the former banker would not insist upon a five years exile for his wife, in the event of settlement, but might be satisfied with two years sojourn abroad or possibly even one.

Washington, May 27.--American participation in international discus sions about economic relief for Aus. tria would be rcgerded by the Hard ing administration, it wns indicated today. as nothing more than the ex- ercise of tho right of ono of Austria's s creditors.
 Formal invitation to join in the con- ferenccs is understood not to have boen extended to the United States. but informal information is to the effect that the question will be con- sidercd soon by the League of Nations council and then be submitted to tho supreme council for final considerab- tion.
