Col. George NJ. Bailey,
Houston Editor, Dies

HOUSTON, Tex, July 4 R)--Coi-
onel M. Bailey, one of the outstand-
ing old-school newspaper editors Oh
the southwest and editor OF the
Houston Post-Dispatch, died here to-
night.
The courage he had given for near
ly half q cenCuIy to his newspaper
work had carried him through an
extended illness, which slowly sap,
ped his strength.
Three months ago, when he was
chosen one OF 80 outstanding Amerl-
can editors to make a tour OF
Europe, studying its political, finan-
cial and sociological aspects Tor a
Carnegie foundation, he was given
an elaborate testimonial banquet
here, attended by scores OF promin..
cnG men of this section.
The tour was to start in July. But
nearly a month ago the acuteneSs
of Colonel Bailey's illness forced him
to announce he would be unable. to
go. For several weeks he had been
confined to his bed.

GUARDS STOP
CONVICTS FROM
SAVING LIVES

OSSINING, NJ. Y, July 4-tP--Pris-
on rules today held dozens of willing
rescuers in check as three young
canoeistS drowned in the Hudson near
Sing Sings gray walls.
The canoeistS, whose identity was
not known, and whose bodies have
not been recovered, we're thrown into
the river when their canoe, ral1ed by a
stiff wind capsized near the SlEg Sing
wharf.
Sing Sings 1900 prisoners watched
the three men struggle to save them
selves. Some wept and others be-
seeched guards to allow htem to leap
over the fence that protects the
dock. The guords, however, covered
the men with rifles and threatened
to shoot any man who went to the
assistance of the drowning men.
The wind had blown the canoe near
the wharf and one man was reported
to have drowned about Is feet from
it. The tragedy upset the prisoners
and some refused to eat an Ildepend-
ence Day dinner later.
Warden Lawes said that previous
faithfulneSs OF prisoners had actuat-
ed the guards who feared prisoners
permitted to aid the drowning men
might attempt to escape.
. Prison officials said that no one,
save Warden Lawcs is authorized to
release prisoners in such an cmer-
gency, and before the warden could
be reached, the CanoeiStS had been
lost.

JUPE
NEVER MISSES
Us ON FOURTH

Has there ever in history been a
Fourth of July on which it didn't
rain? Every year great celebrations
are planned and then comes the rain
spelling the plans that have been look
ed forward to almost all year.
The scheduled events usually are a
failure due to the dampness of the
day. In future years perhaps, the
competitive events will provide for
transforms and showers. For instance
instead of the usual forty yard dash
there will be raft race Children will
spend the week previous to the fourth
making their rafts, incidentally there
might be prize offered for the best
raft.
People will realize the futility of a
weekend camping trip, and those
who can afford to do so will have
yachts beside their respective tents
in the various summer resorts and
then when it rains they will enjoy a
delightful yachting trip. In fact they
will not have to depend on their fam
lily automobile to bring them safely
home. And those who are not SO for
tunate will have canoe and will pad
die their way home on the grand and
glorious Fourth. A case, perhaps, of
Padding Madeline Home"
But what is one to do
when for days one has seWed on
that new dress and it just matches a
French bonnet and there were so
many plans. Then comes the rain and
the new dress fades as well as shrinkS,
and all the flowers on the bonnet
wilt and just everything goes wrong.
The only solution that suggests it
self at present is for the public to
appeal to the weather man and ask
him to have heart at least one the
Fourth of July.

TIGER FLOWERS FIGHTS
TEN-ROUNDS TO A DRAW

CHICAGO, July 4 @-"Tiger'
Flowers and Make Rosenbloom,
fought ten rounds to draw in the
Windup of the Fourth of July fight
card at the White Sox park tonight.
The first eight rounds were fought
in a steady rain. which failed to slow
up either boxer. They started fast,
neither paying much attention to
boxing, and both putting plenty OF
power into their punches.
The slippery condition of the can
vas bothered Flowers considerably. He
lost his balance more than once,
and in the last round, just before
the gong, fell on his back. In his
efforts to retain his balance one OF
his feet struck Rosenbloom, flooring
him.
The only knockdown of the fight
came in the sixth round, when
Flowers went down after hard right
to the chin, but he was up without
a count. Ringsiders were unable to
tell whether it was the force of the
blow or the slippery canvas that
downed the deacon.

Rojas Beats RenauIt
In Slow Ten-Round
Bout in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY July 4 R-Quintin
Romero Rojas, South American n
heavyweight boxer, won over Jack
Renault of Canada, by Slight mar
gin in slow uninteresting ten
round bout mere tonight.
Rojas weighed 1874 and Renault
1913.
The bout was the first in Kansas
City under the new state law pei
nlitting ten round no-decislon bouts.
Renault, who had announced a
comeback campaign in pursuit OF
the heavyweight title since h. re-
tirement from the ring some months
ago to enter the movies, showed more
speed and cleverness, but Rojas
forced the fighting and landed a
number Of stiff blows with his right.
In the third round, the South
American knocked Renault through
the ropes with a. right to the head.
The Canadian, however, was not in
jured and was pushed back into the
ring by newspapermen.
Renault played for his opponents
body, scoring many stinging rights,
which did not seem to both the
Chilean Indian.
The Rev. Earl Blackman, former
national chaplain of the American
legion, refereed the bout and con-
tinually called upon the men to show
some action. They wound up in
the tenth round with sharp ex--
changes, of which Rojas had the bet
ter, but neither boxer exhibited much
damage at the final gong.
Walker Rich, Kansas City, put
Joe Stangle of Portland, Ore. out
in the fourth round with hard
right to the stomach The fight was
slow and both men repeatedly swung
wide of the mark Rich weighed
212 and Stangle 1876.

OF DEMOCRACY

SEATTLE, July 4 R)-The 10000
delegates and visitors attending the
65th annual convention OF the Ma
tlonal Education association here to-
day heard themselves referred to as
the master workmen" upon whose
efforts depended the future OF DEM
ocracy in America, and also were
.exhorted to declare the independence
of education from political control
In his presidential address DR.,
Francis G.. Blair CT Springfield, lis.
speaking on THE American Melting
Fot," declared the American school
system was "the very pit" OF the
melting pot, and the school play
ground was the greatest kindergar-
ten of democracy ever conceived
DIR. Henry Suzzallo, former preSi-
dent OF the University OF Washing
ton called upon the educators to OPP
pose the movement toward central1.
Zation of control in education. He
urged that active direction OF educa-
tional matters be left to the educa-
tional profe sSion, much as engineer,
ing matters are left to engineers, and
health problems left to doctors OF
medicine.
DR.. Suzzalo deplored the control
exercised by politicians over higher
education.
Education cannot be declared free
CT partisan politics until the great
national profession Of educators and
the public which understands the
true relation of public education to
government, has effectively turned
its attention to the state control of
higher schools and to the municipal
control of common schools in some
of our larger cities" DR.. Suzzallo
said
Chicago is an example OF a, city
where the most disgraceful dema-
gogy OF Nrecent days has dragged
the school management through O,
campaign of Misrepresentation which
is almost unparalleled The mayor
Of the city should have nothing
whatever to do with the control OF
the schools. A special board OF edu-
cation elected directly by r-4e people
from q Chicago school district should
be charged with their management.
There are other less dramatic in
stances which might be, cited.''
DR.. Blair asserted the teacher is
the greatest force in the progress
by which the diversified races of
the earth are moulded into the
American nation.

fields, buildings, laboratories, librar-
les, courses OF study, rises supreme

AS the last great rockets of the
fireworks display at the Fifteenth

the crowd noticed a growing glow
against the eastern hills some three
miles from the city. This glow grew
and broadened out into that SYM
bolic image, the fiery cross, the en-
blem of tho invisible empire,
This cross glowing away in the
night surprising the people OF the
entire district for it was visible for
a long distance. 1t is said to be the
largest cross ever burned in any sec

can be learned is the biggest ever
burned anywhere. a.

In the meantime 1t is understood on

mand for big cruiser strength under
the projected Geneva naval treaty. 1t
is likely that the Japanese will for
mally tell the British that they con-
slider the British demand excessive
and as making treaty exceedingly
difficult to elaborate.
Hugh S. Gibso1f, head of the Ameri-
can delegation, is determined not to
sign any treaty which would lead the
American people into increased cruiser
construction instead of reduced, and,
supported by Washington, may cOnfine
his adherence to the treaty to the
clauses concerning the limitation OF
destroyers and submarines.
Presumably the American delegation
will subscribe though reluctantly, to
maximum total tonnage in cruisers
of 100000, but will reject the British
proposal, which still is, reported to
be about 100000 tons more than this
figure.
It is understood that the preliminary
provisional agreements among the
naval experts show that there will be
no great difficulty in finding an ac-
cord on the total tonnage of destroy
ers and submarines, The figures al
ready tacitly approved in these two
categories of warships are within both
the maximum and minimum figures
advocated by the American delegation
III its original proposal and in the
case of destroyers approximate the
American minimum figures, which
gave the U. S. and Great Britaion 2O0,-

The American maximum estimates
for submarines was 10000 IONS each,
for the United States and Great Brit
ain and $4,000 for Japan.
