Decision to proceed with the es-
Establishment of the platoon system
in Schools Nos. 9 and "a, was reach
ed at a special meeting last night OF
| the Board of Education.
Owing TO the work OF remodeling
the boards own assembly room for
use as offices. the meeting was held
in tho quarters of the Park Com
mission, in the Public Building.
On motion Of James T. Chandler
It was decided TO increase the amount
OF insurance carried on school
building and contents by 100000.
making a total amount of s2,i5i.-
900 and increasing the annual pre-
MUM 5000 a year. and TO pro-rata
the insurance among all general
agents through Gilpin. Van Trump
and Montgomery.
The increase was opposed by Pres
tdent Souder on the ground that II
was not justified. II was pointed
out that schools, churches and
|asylums. according TO statistics. are
,the greatest risks from an insur-
lance standpoint. The increase, Il
Was said. will bring the amount OF
Insurance carried on the school

value.
Shermer II. Stradley called at

starting the new fiscal year with an
apparent deficit OF approximately
$4,000, but the board decided to
take chances with the future on the
ground that conditions make the

Although the amount allotted in
the budget for salaries is ss53,000.

of the opening.
"The Alton is picked to make the
test case because it is in the hands of
a receiver and the ability to pay has
been a prime factor in previous decis-

Railroad executives here would not
comment on the Alton ease, but ad.
mitted they were watching the out

While individual railroads have filed
similar petitions in the past before
the board, they did not have the back

take me away from her, said Mrs
Gilmore Flannery, wife of Lewis Elan
merry of the Brawley police department
at the cOrOner's inquest this morning
to determine the reason for the shoot
ing of the IL months old baby and
Mrs. Flannery's attempt upon her own
life, yesterday afternoon at the Elan
merry home in Brawley.
According to the woman s story.
told today to Deputy District Attor-
ney Don @. Bitter, several members
OF her family have suffered from in
sanity, and of late she began to fear
/ that she too would fall a victim to the
dread malady. Yesterday she deter
mined to end her fear that she would
be separated from her baby by killing
the infant and then ending her own
life.
Shortly after 3 clock, her husband
left the house to obtain an automobile
to take his family riding, before it was
time for him to report for duty at
police headquarters. AS soon as he left
the house, Mrs. Flannery took his re-
vOlver and fired two shots into the
baby's body, both bullets entering the
heart and killing the little one in
stantly. Then she fired two shots in
an attempt to end her own life, one
of which missed her body entirely and
the other penetrated the left lung.
NelghbOrs hearing the shots, rushed in
to the house and found both bodies ly-
ing on the floor. The woman was
rushed to the Brawley hospital where
she is reported today as in critical
condition, but will probably recover.
Loved Husband Dearly
She told Bitter that she had planned
her terrible act some time ago and in
tended to carry it out yesterday morn

her husband left the house, as she
loved him dearly and did not wish
hlm to be connected with the shoot
ing in any manner. She told her story
without any hesitation and showed no
indication that her mind is unsound,
Mr.. Bitter says. She said she hopes
to die as that will end everything and
she can again be with her baby.
After hearing the evidence in the
case, the cOroner's jury returned YER

and that the baby met death at the
hands of its mother. In the event she

murder would undoubtedly be placed

Mrs. Flannery was formerly Gilmore
Nelson and married Flannery about
two years ago. Her husband is said
to be popular with Brawley residents
and bears an excellent reputation in
the Brawley police department.

AMERICA To
REMAIN OUT
Of LEAGUE.
America to Protect All of
Independent Rights and
Aid World Peace
III ARDIN G'S PLAN
Secretary Hughes Active to
Bring About Solution of
League Problem
BY A. L. BRADFORD
wright. 1922. by the United Press.)


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The United
States intends to remain independent
of the League of Nations.
This is one of the prime considera-
tions that this government has In mind
as President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are conducting negotiations de-
signed to make America an official
party to the permanent court of in
ternational justice, commonly known as
the World Court.
Before the United States will become
"a signatory power to the world court,
Secretary Hughes must secure an agree
ment of the powers members of the
League of Nations and the court TO
such changes and notifications in the
protocol of the court as will insure
American independence of the league,
it is believed in informed quarters here.
Even so, the negotiations which
Washington has initiated for making
the United States an official member
of the World Court are already being
interpreted and probably will continue
TO do so, as at least n moral sictory
for the League of Nations principle
and as an evidence of this country re
lenting in its attitude of strict al0of-
ness from the concert of nations rep
resented in the League.
To Ask Senate Approval
Even after an agreement may be
reached with the other powers for the
membership of the American govern
ment in the world court, the proposed
adherence of the United States to the
protocol of the court must be ratified
by the senate, us is the ease of any
treaty arrangement This, of course,
is being taken fully into consideration
by the President and Mr.. Hughes.
1t was not long after the Harding
administration came into office that
the question of the United States be-
coming a member of the World Court
came to the fore in the attention Of
Secretary Hughes. In answer to heck
ling from abroad because of alleged
disregard of invitations for this coun-
try to become member of the court,
Hughes ATTITUDE was explained as fol
lows:
That while formal invitations had
been received, this government could
not take any action such as becoming
a member of the international court
unless it had treaty authorization from
congress.
The World Court is admittedly a
" child' of the League of Nations. Its
creation was provided for by Article
IT of the league covenant. The name
League of Nations is scattered through
out the text of the protocol of the
court. The judges of the court are
elected by the council and assembly of
the league.
The secret has long been out that
Hughes favors the adherence of the
United States to the World Court in
some form or another and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that he can secure an
agreement to this end that will thor
oughly protect the interests and policies
of the government.
