St Louis, March 1O.-Charges made
by President Victor ]. Miller. of the
board of police commissioners. that Ia
a certain unnamed high school Of this
city. there Unquestionably exists a
boys club membership in which Is
predicated on improper Relationship
with girls, was the sensation of the
homes of st. Louis today.
In speech before fashiouable
church audience, Miller declared there
was more danger in the private home
dances of the younger set than in the
public dance hall. Il am reliably in
formed there exists in one Of our high
schools an organization of girls. to
become a member of which a girl
must have had improper relations
with a boy, and ] know-it has been
proved-that a similar orga nization
exists among the boys"
John c. Tobin. president OF the
board Of education. chaFa acterize9 the
charges as the most ridiculous he had
ever heard II shall most certainly
call on Mr.. Miller to substantiate hia
charges before the board Of educa-
ton
A number of American Legion
posts last December adopted resolu-
tioDs condemning Mr.. Miller for e
speech he made December befors
the East st Louis (Ill.) junior Cham
ber of Commerce. in which ne was
reported as saying 20 per cent Of the
criminals of today are former service
men. Mr. Miller in a formal state
ment answering the ex-soldiers pointed
to the fact that he himself was an
ex-service man and that his remarks
were to the effect that IL was not sur
prising that a large number Of criu1i-
mails were former soldiers, as virtually

ON EDGE
Earl of Derby Is Offered Indian
Secretaryship.
Premier Leaves as RumOrS of
Resignation Grow.

London March 1O.-The Earl of
Derby, former secretary for war, has
been offered the secretaryship for
India in succession to Edwin S. Mon
tague, who resigned yesterday, accord
ing to reports in the parliamentary
lobbies today. In the event of Lord
Derby's refusal, the Duke of Doven-
shire is mentioned as the likely ap-
pointee.
London, March 1O.-Premier Lloyd
George. i'll and depressed over the po-
litical situation, started for Wales to-
day, leaving behind the blackest state
crisis since war days.
According to the Saturday Review,
the British premier has handed his
resignation to Austen Chamberlain.
government leader in the house of
commons. for presentation to King
George when the Irish free state act
is passed by the house of lords.
The newspaper said the premier de-
cided not to wait for the Genoa con-
ference because the United States
and France had torpedoed his hopes
of big things from that meeting"
A stiffened Indian policy is expect
ed to follow the resignation Of e. 5.
Montagu, secretary for India, accord
ing to information in official circles
Sir Hamar Greenwood. secretary
for Ireland, was mentioned as pos
Sible successor. Sir HamarS oIIlce
will be abolished when the house of
Lords passes the Irish free state act
Apprehension is felt here that the
ousting of Mr.. Montagu may result
in fresh disorders in India. The for
mer secretary was very close to the
MosIem element of the population.
Dispatches from Delhi said that feel
ing was running high.
The London Times predicts that
the resignation of Montagu will hasten
the resignation of Premier Lloyd
George.

Scranton by 20 to 12 Score.
BY HAROLD HENDERSON.

Topeka high school completely out
classed Alta Vista in the opening
game of the Topeka district tourna-
ment. which is being held at Thomas
gymnasium today, and won by a score
of 81 to 3. The Alta Vista five put
up a game fight but was unable to
cope with the superior playing of the
Topeka team. The score at the end of
the first half was l3 to 2. Alta Vista
was also handicapped by the loss of
its star forward, who is i'll with infIu
cnza.
The Topeka five was overconfident
at the opening of the game and did
not hit its stride until the end of the
first half. Breithaupt and Darrow
starred for Topeka. The guarding of
Brewster and Blankenbecker was eff
fective in checking the offensive of
Alta Vista Boyd, Carr, and Ed

the problem of preventing such
outrageous profteering as compels
the farmer to pay much more for a
pair of shoes than he receives for
an entire beef hide. The Republi-
cans are not tackling these prob

they are merely attempting to sat-
isfy the farmer and he can not be
satisfied with bunkum. The farm

approval a real breaking up of the

him upon high pedestal of glory
