the hands of one of a pair of auto
mobile thieves, whom he surprised at
the entrance to his garage, E. NJ.
Clark, 515 Mason street, Thursday
morning, pulled his own gun and fired
twice at the gunman.
Without returning the fire. the au-
tomobile thief fled down the alley
through which Clark has to drive to
reach his garage.
Less than five minutes after Clark
had put his car up following the
shooting, he heard the pair in his ga.
rage again.
As he stepped to the door to in
vestigate. the thieves turned on the
lights of his automobile.
BROTHER HELPS
With his brother F. l.. Clark, he
routed the thieves again, this time
without firing.
Detectives Harris, Herbst and
Emergency Officer Grove took up the
search for the pair after a call had
been sent in from the Clark home.
Clark drove down the alley half a
block before the lone thief was sight
ed.
As he swerved his automobile to
make the turn into the garage, the
man appeared from behind a post.
Stick 'em up" the robber ordered
CURLY.
GRABS PISTOL
He was advancing toward the auto
mobile when Clark jerked his gun
from a pocket in the door.
The man retreated and Clark fired
twice at him.
With the shots the bandit turned
and fled.
His companion in the garage where
the automobile of Clark's brother also
was stored, is believed to have hidden
himself until Clark went into the
house.
When the Clark brothers advanced
upon them the second time with guns

Public Hearing
Is Demanded

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-It is
reported here that both Secretary
Weeks of the War Department and
Secretary Wilbur of the Navy De
partment will demand that the court
martial of Colonel William o. Mitch
ell shall go further than a trial on
the mere charge of INSTRUMENTATION.
The navy in particular, it is assert
ed. u anxious that the charges shall
be 90 drawn that Colonel Mitchell will
be called upon TO prove his allega-
tons of criminal neglect in the naval
aviation service.
It is anxious also that the trial be
held in the open, that the public may
have full opportunity to know pre-
cisely what is developed.
RESIGNATION IN AIR.
According to one report, Secretary
Wilbur will feel called upon TO resign
unless the Navy Department is given
an opportunity TO clear itself Of the
charges Colonel Mitchell has brought
against it. This report could not be
verified.
The situation that will confront
IrcciutuI SOOHuse upon MS TtluEu W
MORROW 80 far as the army and navy
are concerned will, however, be with
out precedent.
The President faces the crucial test
Of his public career in dealing with the
accumulated vital problems piling his
desk when he returns TO Washington
tomorrow. The standing of his ad-
ministration and probably a second
elective term for Mr.. Coolidge rests
upon his success in disposing of a
score of situations, each loaded with |
political dynamite.
COOLIDGE MUST DECIDE.
The President. even If he would, |
will be unable TO avoid the issue
raised BY Colonel Mitchell. While he
is expected TO remain aloof so far as |
the court-martial of the flying gen
eral- is concerned, he must ultimately |
decide whether aviation is TO have a
more prominent place in the national
defense.
Other pressing problems calling for
action are: The shipping |
board row. provoked by Commissioner |
Bert z. Baney's defiant refusal to re-
sign.

NEED CHANGES.
S. A. GETS 1925 MEET.

This plan Of 6-3-3 however, demand
ed a modification in the requirements
of the college and university for en-
trance credits 10 those institutions,
and such modification must be de-
manded in the best interest Of the
pupil, be asserted.
At present the junior school can, Of
necessity, be a part only of the large
and small city until such time as a
working plan for the installation of
the junior school in a rural community
can be worked out, be said. Such
plan he had in mind.
This was, he said a joint senior
and junior school in one building en-
bracing the curricula Of both schools,
having course Of three years in each
school, supervised by a superintend-
cnt who would function over the
whole.
This plan was feasible, he said, in
those communities which could afford
II and would complete the plan Of
rural education 10 that point where
a college or university education could
be taken up by the pupil.
The speaker urged Texas boards Of
education, superintendents and teach
ers 10 work for a modification Of col
lege and university entrance require
ments and 10 free the schools from
the domination Of strictly academic
requirements embodied in the junior
and high school curriculums.

ASH 7 ON SAYS.
US. ROADS IN
GOOD SHAPE
Tends to Show I.C. c.
Suggestion Fails to
Solve Problem.

CHICAGO, Sept. DISTRIBUTING
to show that the Interstate Commerce
Commissions suggestion of 1922 that
the railroads look to deficiency and
economy in operation" offers no solu-
ton of the problems Of the West
ern roads, President K. III. Ashton of
the American Railway Association, to-
day described the conditions of the
roads as the best they have ever
been.
He was testifying in the Western
freight rate advance case.
so far in 1926" Ashton said, "the
railways of the country have handled
the largest number of carloads of
freight ever transported in any sim
liar period of time. and with this peak
traffic the carriers are operating with
the greatest economy and efficiency
ever shown.
AMPLE SURPLUS.
From January l, to August Is,
1925, 81, 345, 900 cars were loaded with
revenue freight, as compared with 90
$4,000 cans in 1924, 30,993,0O in
1928 and 2T,951, 900 cars in 1920. And
yet, despite these record figures in
1925, despite the fact that loadings
for several weeks past have been in ex-
cess Of 100000 cars a week, there
has been at all times an ample surplus
of both freight cars and locomotives
valuable for use, remarkable evi
dence of efficient distribution and
utilization of equipment, and of eff
cheney in operation in general.
Other figures show this same in.
crease in the efficiency and economy
of operation. Considering the West
ern railways alone, it appears that
these lines in 1924 reduced their fuel
bill in the freight service by almost
S1S,O00,O00 as compared with 1920.
PRACTICE ECONOMY.
"In the passenger service there was
a corresponding saving of almost S4,-
100000 in the 1924 fuel savings. These
figures do not include savings due 10
traffic or to reductions in the price of
coal, but cover only those savings re-
sulting from increased efficiency and
economy in the use of fuel.
Loss and damage payments of the
Western railways have heen cut al
most two-thirds since 1920. These
1920 payments amounted TO approx
mately S5j,000,000.
This amount was reduced to $780,
100000 in 1921, to S20,OO0,OO0 in
1922, TO S21 100000 in 1923. and. fur
Their. to less than S19,000,000 in 1924. |

Quacy of TRANSFORMATION and progress

S. A. GETS 1925 MEET.
The Southwest Texas Institute will
be held in San Antonio again next
year. This was unanimously voted By
the teachers and superintendents at

in the auditorium of Breckenridge
High School Wednesday morning.
Superintendent Marshall Johnston

Bradley, Gonzales county; W. v.

A tentative report BY the secre-
tary showed that receipts were $1,000
and expenses $500 for the present in
stitute. The executive committee will
meet at 10 a. m, Thursday to out
line a tentative program for the next
institute in 1926.
DR.. Glass told of the growth of the
junior school idea and explained its
relations to the rural. small city and
large city schools. The idea Of the
junior schools was the outgrowth Of
the restrictions on building curing the
war resulting in congestion in the
elementary and high schools, and the
necessity Of providing for pupils of
both schools after building restric-
tons we're removed.
This gave birth to the idea Of the
junior schools, he said. an informed
late school between the elementary
and the high school, partaking of the
nature of both until now it had be-
come an established branch of public
school education fixed upon the ratio
Of six years in elementary school,
three years in junior school and three
years in high school, as the best
plan.
