The Intense Interest among educators
on the subject of teaching economics
In the public school systems of the coun
try was reflected In the attendance upon
this morning's session, which was devoted
to it. Although the L.Ight Guard Armory
was very close when President Green
alled the .session to order, there were
S0M teachers present. Talking extempo
raneously. Professor George 12. "Vincent,
of the University ot Chicago, made a
Bplendld and enthusiastically applauded
address on "Social Science and the Cur
riculum." "All subjects in the present curriculum,
particularly literature, lend themselves to
the social point of view," said Professor
"Vincent, after announcing that he did
not want another subject added to the
l curriculum.
t Prnfocenr T' TTT 3rtnT-e nf 'PVlllnrlol-
phia, spoke on "Ideals and Methods of
Economic Teaching." He emphasized the
Importance of economic training for the
great mass of citizens and declared that
effective instruction in economics de
mands high teaching skill.
Professor George Gunton, of New York,
followed with a paper on economics in the
public school. He said: "Economics is
an equally Important study with history
and is even better as a mental training."
A paper on the "Teacher as a Social
4 and Economic Power," by Reuben Post
AHalleck, of "Louisville, was the last one
jtt the session.
' The afternoon was occupied by meet
ings of 12 departments. In the depart
ment1 Of art education, Frederick W. Co
burn, of New York, read the paper of
the afternoon on the "Economic Value of
Art Education."
Following the president's address in the
department of business education, I. O.
Crissy, of Albany, N. Y., read a paper
on "Business Education." He said:
"The term "business education1 means,
in a broad sense, any and all education
that will aid ontln business, either in
planning and transacting It or In recording
at when transacted. Business education,
therefore. Includes everything that adds
to Its possessor's stock of knowledge,
stimulates his faculties or Increases his
thought power. It also includes those
things which help to develop the body
and the senses. In this broader sense the
process of education begins in infancy,
and ends only with life Itself. The agen
cies for imparting it may be any of the
echools, from the kindergarten to tho uni
versity, or they may not include any of
them. We find occasionally an individual
call him prodigy, genius or what you
will who has obtained his education for
business and won what the worH calls
success without the aid of the sc -ols
"sad with almost every condition that can
be conceived of apparently against him.
But let none make the mistake of believ
ing himself such a genius, and therefore
'ebla to make his way without the sound
fend systematic training of the school.
"Within the past 10 years, following
Somewhat the example of Continental
Europe, there has been established in the
"United States, largely through the report
of Professor James to the American Bank
ers'. Association, a distinct grade of sec
ondary business education, of which a
typical exponent is the four-year com
mercial course throughout the "country.
This course alms, not only to train the
youth Jn the most improved methods of
recordlng business transactions, but also
to teach him in. a broad, general way how
business originates and how It Is done.
Recognizing that 'knowledge is power,' it
recognizes also that the getting of knowl
edge by independent investigation and
study develops the higher power of think
ing. The commercial course becomes. In
mind development, the peer of any course
in, the school, and the special training is
grounded on a solid formation of general
education. For business education no
less than general education, the hope of
the masses of the people centers in the
high school. But for such as are able to
ko further, the colleges and universities
of the country are fast opening their
doors."
The address of Professor N. A. Harvey,
of Chicago, on the Department of Science
Instruction was as follows:
"If there has been one advance In edu
icatlonl truth better demonstrated than
any other it is that in schools for general
education the knowledge of the fact ac
quired is not the chief value to be de
rived from- a-particular study. Just as the
benefit derived from the study of Algebra
is not to bo looked for In the answers to
tho problems that the student so labor
iously solves, and the value of the study
of XAtln comes not from the knowledge
of the historical facts that the student
learns while reading the Latin language,
eo the value of the study of science does
not depend upon the knowledge that the
pupil acquires, but upon the power the
student acquires while gaining that
knowledge.
"In our work in zoology we study the
structure and life of animals, but If my
classes, fall to see and to recognize the
processes ty which the general concept
of a group Is formed; if they fall to dis
criminate and compare: If they do not
get Into the habit of analyzing a speci
men before them and of examining It
part by pari; If tbey do not learn what
is Involved In a logical definition; and
more than this, if they do not carry this
habit of mind into every subject In school,
I feel that my work has been a failure,
no matter how many animals they have
"studied, or how neat their notebooks,
and how artistic their drawings. The
results obtained from the pursuit of scien
tific subjects under the influence of such
a conception as this are likely to
be very different from what they would
be If It Were believed that the knowledge
of a few animal forms or a few experi
ments In physics were the purpose of
scientific study. The teacher must look
beyond the mere facts of a subject to the
true content that furnishes tho reason
lor Its Introduction into the -curriculum."

President Springer's Optimistic View
of Livestock Industry.
DOUGLAS, Wyo.. July 1L Today's ses
sion of the Eastern Wyoming Woolgrow
ers' convention was occupied with ad
dresses by Governor Richards, President
Springer, of the National Livestock As
sociation, Professors Foster and Nelson,
of the Wyoming University, Secretary
Snow, of the -State Board of Sheep Com
missioners, Hon. B. B. Brooks, Hon. C
W. Burdick and others.
President Springer took an optimistic
view ot the livestock industry, which was
never in a more prosperous condition than
now. He urged the election of members
to Congress who will be favorable to the
greatest of all industries, the growing
of livestock. He said that Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson had acceded to the
wish of the association and would main
tain a livestock statistical bureau, statls
tlon to be gathered semi-annually. He
also said that the association would urge
tho passage of a bill at the next session
of Gongress compelling manufacturers to
tag all clothing so as to show the per
centage of shoddy material.
Governor Richards showed that It is
not only possible to run sheep and cattle
together, but it is also more profitable
than conducting the two Industries sep
arately. He said that the idea that sheep
ruin a range Is a mistake and cited, many
Instances where sheep grazing had Im
proved the range SO per cent.

Mayor as a last resort, after tho Dowleltes
flatly refused to withdraw. He, first. In
order to protect them from the mob, at
tempted to disperse them with police
force. They, however, stubbornly stood
their ground In the face of a police charge.

ton, upon whose advice Mayor Patten
acted, when he directed the hose be turned
upon the "Dowleltes," said:
"The 'Dowleltes' were arrested not be
cause they came here to preach, but be
cause they blocked one of the streets
with their meeting and refused to move
on when told to do so. They clearly vio
lated a city ordinance."

hurt during tho melee: Overseer J. G.
Spelcher, cut on shoulder; W. O. Demius,

been arrested by the police reached the
courtroom, they broke out Into song, in
spite of their plight, and continued shout
ing their exhortations, so that those who
had collected on the ouuMde could hear
them. Overseers Piper and Spelcher were

MODIFIES HIS- CRITICISM.
Scnrocder's Latest Order to the Ma
rines at Guam.
WASHINGTON. July ll.-The Navy De
partment has taken ho a'ctlOn In the cas"e
of Commander SchrOeder's criticism of
the United States marines at Guam 6ince
Assistant Secretary Hackett wrote him a
letter of Inquiry about two weeks ago con
cerning the proclamation hB had issued.
In this connection the Navy Department
today gave -out -an order issued by the
Governor, May 14, supplementing his pre
vious order and, In the opinion Of Offi
cials, mitigating the reflection on the ma
rines, as follows:
"The Commandant of this station Is
congratulated upon the promptness with
which, in less than two days, evidence
was found which apparently tends to the
discovery of the perpetrators Of a theft ot
private property alluded to In naval sta
tion order No. 4. This confirms the belief
that members of an honorable profession
do not wish to harbor thieves In their
midst. It Is hoped that American man
hood will continue to assert itself and re
fuse to permit the reputation and" prlxl
leges of all to suffer In order to screen a
few criminals who do not deserve much
leniency."

LEPROSY STATISTICS
Indicate There Are 1O0O of the Un
fortunates in This Country.
NEW YORK, July 11,-A Washington
dispatch to tho Tribune says:
The Surgeon-General of the Marine Hos
pital Service Is not ready tfa publish the
results thus far obtained under his direc
tion In the attempt to enumerate tho
known cases of leprosy In the United
States, for the returns are far from com
plete. But sufficient material has already
been secured by the experts who have
been Investigating" for the last two "years
to indicate that there ate at least 1000
lepers In this country, most of them im
migrants from abroad, and to warrant
starting recommendations to Congress
for their segregation.
The commission, consisting of Surgeon
J. H. White, chairman, and Passed As
sistant Surgeons G. T. Vaughan and M.
J. Rosenau, have been working under
Congressional authority since 1899. They
sent circular letters to physicians, health
officers, hospital superintendents and
others In GOO localities; covering1 the entire
country, asking for repprts and Informa
tion regarding leprosy patients. Eight
thousand circulars have been sent out and
only 2000 replies have been received. From
these 277 lepers have been located and
their names and addresses obtained.
About 100 are known to live in New Or
leans, many of whom are well-to-do per
sons of good families. Jn New York seven
cases have been reported. Ip San Fran
cisco 15 cases are known, 12 'helng con
fined in the pesthouse. Owing to the fact
that three-fourths pf he . circulars have
brought no replies, especially from sus
picious districts, the authorities, estimate
that only About one-fourth ol the cases
of leprosy have bpen reported.
The commission wll almost certainly
recommend to Congress In Its forthcom
ing preliminary report that National laz
arettos he estafcltshefl in several parts of

Result.
WASHINGTON, July 11. An order of
the War Department provides for another
increase of the artillery Under the last
Army law, to take effect on the first of
the fiscal year, July 1. The arrangements
provide that the Increase shall be made
as fast as the enlistments are completed.
For convenience, the total increase Is
divided Into sixths. The new order author
izing an increase on the first of this
month is for one-sixth, amounting to
about 1800 men. As the Increases are
made In the. number of enlisted men, there
Is also an increase in the number X Of
ficers, which results in promotions of ar
tillery officers now In the service. Under
the new order, the following promotions
will occur, all advancing one grade:
Lieutenant-Colonel D. H. Klnzie, to be
Colonel; Majors G. G. Greenough and S.
A. Day, to be Lieutenant-Colonels; Cap-

ants will he filled by selection from the
other arms of the service, and from the
men appointed from the volunteers and
the line. The new batteries to be or
ganized will not be made Up fully from
the recruits which have been enlisted, but
the older organizations wilt, be divided so
that about half of each new organization
will be composed of experienced men.
. Olympiads Battle Ornaments.
NEW YORK. July 11. The stem orna-
f ment, designed to commemorate the cruls-
er Olympla's great victory at Manila Bay,
is being attached to the hull of the ves
sel, says a Boston dispatch to the Times.
The stern piece was set up a few days
ago. Naval Constructor Willjam J. Bax
ter, head of tha Department of Construc
tion and Repair, at the Charleston Navy
Yard, first conceived the Idea of these
ornaments, and at once set about obtain
ing the consent of the Navy Department
to put them on. After this has been ac
complished, he had the designs made, fol
lowing his own ideas.
Some of the bronze used In casting tho
two pieces was taken from the Olympla,
and this gives added value to them. The
stem ornament Is the more elaborate. A
winged "Victory" holds high above her
head an eagle which is about to launch
Into the air. Victory's wings He against
the sides of the ship's prow. The stem
piece consists of a shield, with a mass of
scroll work on each side.
Escaping jDnty on Coffee.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Under the
ruling of the Treasury Department, coffee
shipped from the United States to Porto
Rico will be admitted Into Porto Rico free
of duty as soon as free trade Is pro
claimed between the United States and
that island. .This In practice will result,
It Is likely, in all coffee shipped Into Porto
Rico from any country being admitted
free of duty. Although tho Porto Rlcan
tariff provides for a duty of 5 cents a
pound on all coffee Imported from a for
eign country. It Is expected that coffee
importers will take advantage of the fact
that coffee Is admitted free Into the Unit
ed States, and ship their coffee into the
United States, and thence to Porto Rico,
thus avoiding the duty which would be
imposed if shipped from a foreign country
direct to Porto Bico.
The Pan-American Congress.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Secr-ary
Hay received calls today from Several of
the South American representatives in
relation to the congress of American Re
publics. Some of tHem. suggested that as
the cohgress represented a number of sov
ereign nations, It should exercise author
ity over Its own deliberations, and should
not be restricted by the enaction of any
committee outside of the congress. There
appears to be no desire among officials J
nere to nave wasnmgton exercise any
controlling Influence over the congress,
but It Is thought that Mexico, being the
host, should have much to say as to the
preliminaries.
Troops Transferred to Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Acting Adjutant-General
Ward Is informed that
Troops D and D, of the Eighth Cavalry,
formerly stationed at Fort Rlsley, Kan.,
have been transferred to Fort Reno, O. T.,

term bonds as follows: J20.500 Ss at
109,0264; $20,000 5s at 109.1372, and $24,500 4s
at 112.9879.
Jamaican Emigration Stopped.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 11. The Gov
ernment of Jamaica has issued an order
against the further emigration of Ja
maican laborers to Ecuador to work on
the Guayaquil-Quito Railroad, which Is
being constructed by the McDonald syn
dicate. This action Is taken In conse
quence of the reported ill treatment of

George S. Bosworth, of San Francisco,
who was conducting a. party of Epworth
Leaguers to San Francisco, says:
"The train was making a fine sprint
and everybody was feeling pleasant and
happy, when all of 6. sudden there was
an awful crash, and It seemed, as .though
a tremendous fist hadetruck the train
In the 'face. In an Instant the air was
filled with cries and screams; cars were
smashed into splinters and rolled down
the huge embankment and disappeared
entirely. In an Instant that splendid train
was reduced to a mere mass of debris,
with human beings crawling, screaming
or lying In mangled heaps on the ground.
Fire Immediately added Its horror to the
scene, and above all the terrible clamor
of our train were, heard the almost hu
tnan cries of the burning cattle of the
-freight train. The Marseilles French
opera company, on its way to Ban
Francisco, comprising 17 people, lost every
bit of Its scenery and baggage. None
of the passengers escaped with more than
his hand baggage, and was lucky to
get away with that much."

Perjury Caae Against a Honolulu
Editor Came to Naught.
HONOLULU, July 3, via Victoria, B. C,
July 11. The perjury charge against Ed
itor Walter G. Smith was dismissed to
day at the Instance of the prosecutloh.
Attorney-General Dole entered a nolle
prosequi In Judge Gear's court, declaring
that there was no evidence to warrant the
supposition that -a jury would convict.
Smith was Indicted by the recent grand
jury Oh account of testimony he gave re
garding alleged attempts to secure bribes
from Legislators for their support of a
franchise for a railroad In Hawaii. Smith
testified that he did not know of any Cor
poration that had been asked for bribes,
though 'he had previously testified that
he knew of suoh a circumstance. The Attorney-General
stated to the court that he
had Investigated the matter and had come
to the conclusion that the testimony ot
Smith was correct, except as to confu
sion arising from the fact that the rail
way company In question was not Incor
porated. " The fact that it was not lncorpo.
rated made Smith's testimony that he
knew of no corporation that had been
asked for bribes correct.
In dismissing the case, Judge Gear took
occasion to criticise the action of the Attorney-General.
He declared that the
grand jury had brought the Indictment
under thp advlcs of the Attorney-General's
department thSf there Was sufficient evb
dence to warrant such a proceeding. The
Attorney-General stated that hernia' not
wanted to take charge of the case and
had asked the late Hon. Paul Neumann
to act for the prosecutloh in the matter.
Neumann had consented and a commis
sion making him Deputy Attorney-Gen-eraf
had beeh Issued the day before Neu
mann's death? Dole at&ted that he did
not know of any other attorney in Hono
lulu as free from bl&s as was Neumann,
who" had kept aloof from the bitter fac
tional nghti of recent days, whom he
could ask to act In life case. He felt that
he might possibly be Unconsciously biased
himself, but, under the circumstances, he
had decided to take hold of the case and
the result of nlB 'investigations 'was the
withdrawal of prosecution. Judge Gear
discharged the accused and thus ended
the most sensational case growing out
of the recent grand jury row following the
charge that there had been bribery In the
Legislature.
The funeral of the late Paul Neumann,
held yesterday afternoon under the aus
pices of the Masonic fraternity, Was one
of the largest ever seen in Honolulu.
Flags were at half mast on tha Govern
ment buildings, and the entire commu
nity took part in the obsequies. The Su
preme Court, the United States District
Court and all other courts adjourned for
tho .day on hearing of Neumann's death,
and in the United States District Court
a- committee of the Hawaiian Bar As
sociation presented resolutions which were
spread on the record Of the court. Judge
Estee delivered an eloquent eulogy of the
deceased. Acting Governor Cooper and Attorney-General
Dole addressed the court,
paying tributes to the dead lawyer, and
a number of other attorneys spoke In the
same strain. The remains were tald away
In Nuaanu cemetery. A company of the
Hawaiian National Guard and a Irum
corps accompanied the cortege b the cem
etery. The cases of a number of Chinese who
have Just Teturncd from China too late

WILL BUY COTTON OIL PLANTS
rians of VlrglntnCarollna Chem
ical Company.
NEW YORK, July 11. The Journal of
Commerce says: ,
A special meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Virginia-Carolina Chemi
cal Company has been called for the
near future at Jersey City to act upon
a resolution of the directors providing for
an Increase of $26,000,000 in the authorized
capital of that corporation, thus making
the totar capital 550.W0.O00. This action is
a result of the current plans of the com
pany In securing cotton oil properties,
with a view of securing supplies of cotton
seed meal from which ammonlates are
derived.
A circular sent to the stockholders by
the directors set forth that the Company
has been figuring a long time on some
plan -by which it could secure the am
monlates, of which It consumes about
$2,000,000 worth annually jn tho most eco
nomical manner. It is pointed out that

tfte quantity of ammonlates alone would
Justify the company In going into the cot
ton seed oil business, but aside from that
it Is, when properly conducted, Intrinsic
ally a profitable business, and would
have the further advantage of placing the
company more closely in touch with the
fertilizer trade. It is for the purpose of
buying up established cotton oil plants,
or establishing new ones, that the capital
stock of tho Company Is to be Increased
to $50,000,000. The United Cotton Oil Com
pany was recently incorporated under New
Jersey laws with $12,000,000 capital sfock.
Presumably this concern will be turned
over to the Virginia-Carolina Chemical
Company. The cotton oil plants which.
SO far as is known, have been acquired
by the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com
pany, Include the Southern Cotton OH
Company, a $2,000,000 concern; the At
lantic Refining Company and the Inter
state Refining Company. Several crude oil
mills are also said to have been pur
chased. It Is understood that the com
pany has options- on several other con
cerns, but formal announcement of pur
chase has not been made. The local rep
resentatives of the United Cotton Oil
Company are not prepared to make any
statement about that organization.

FOUND 'CALAMITY JANE."
An Eastern Home Offered to the
Noted Frontlersvroraan.
ANACONDA, Mont., July 11. Mrs.
Josephine Wlnfleld Brake, of Buffalo, N.
T? authoress and Washington correspond
ent for the New YOrk Journal, has been
In Montana for the past week searching
for "Calamity Jane," the noted plains
woman. Yesterday Mrs. Brake discovered
Calamity Jane in the hut of a negress at
Horr, near Livingston. The poor woman
was suffering with fever and was broken
in spirits. The scene that followed the
offer of Mrs. Brake to take Calamity Jane
to her own home In Buffalo, where she
could spend the remainder of her days in
luxury, was pathetic In the extreme, and
the noted frontlerswoman wept like a
Child. Calamity Jane has been on the
frontier since she was a young girl. She
was In the Black Hills at the time of the
killing of Wild Bill (William HickOk).
and 'it la said that It was she who cap
tured his murderer. She rendered valu
able services to Custer, Reno, Egan and
other Indian fighters. Of late years sho
has drifted about the state from place to
place, making a livelihood as best she
could. During the Summer she sold pic
tures of herself to park tourists. During
the past couple of. years she has been 111
a considerable portion of the time. Thox
newspapers printed columns about her, '
through means of which the attention of
General Egan and many other friends of
the woman was called to the plight of
their friend of early days. The result Is
that Mrs. Brake took the step mentioned.
The two women left Livingston for Buf
falo today. Calamity Jane Is about 50
years old. Her maiden name was Can
ary, and sho is said to be from New York.
The last man she married was a drayman,
of Livingston, named Burk.
The Montnna Cloudburst.
HELENA, Mont., July 11. Debris Is
piled everywhere In the gulch In which
are located Wlckes and Corbln. Great
damage to property was done by the tor
rent of water which poured down the nar
row valley after the cloudburst Tuesday
night. The concentrator ot the Peck Min
ing Company at Corbln will have to close
down because of damage to the machin
ery, A wave six feet high and 200 feet
wide swept down the gulch. Within half
a mile of Wlckes. toward Corbln, a fill In
on the Great Northern formed a dam.
The water was backed up for a quarter of
a mile before tho embankment gave way
with a roar.
Mrs. Charles Turner and six small chil
dren were In their home in Twin Gulch.
The torrents of rain started a landslide
and before the occupants suspected any
danger the entire side of the house near
est the mountain was crushed In like an
egg-shell by an enormous boulder. That
no one was struck by the shower of great
rocks and earth which struck the house
seems almost miraculous. As the great
wall of water tore down the gulch It prac
tically demolished the Northern Pacltlo
trackB and bridges.
At several points great sections of rails
and ties were picked from the roadbed and
bent and twisted into a mass of debris.
The Great Northern suffered only a wash
out of the fill near Wlckes.
It Is Impossible to estimate the loss at
present.
