ST. PAUL, July 6. AJbout 30 people -were injured, one seriously, in the wreck of the Great Northern westbound flyer at Spring Brook. 21 miles east of Williston. N. D. Seven cars were burned by a flre which broke out immediately after the wreck, presumably caused by the explosion of a gas tank under the smoking-car. The mallear and the special car Jollet, con taining Dr. Frank Billings, of Chicago, and a party of physicians on the way to Portland, did not leave the rails and were unharmed by the flames. The officials of the road here say that it was a miracle that numbers were not killed, as the train was running at a high rate of speed when it left the rails. According to their report, there was no spreading of the rails, and they are un able to accdunt for the accident. As the cars left the track they partially up ended, but did not break In two. Most of the injured suffered from burns, the flames spreading so rapidly that many were scorched before they could be re moved from the wreckage. Dr. Billings and the physicians in his party at once took charge of the Injured and dressed their wounds, pending the arrival of a relief train from Willlston. All of the Injured were able to resume their Journey today except C. H. Strieker, who is reported to be in a serious condi tion. He was in the baggage-car, on his way from St. Paul to Boise, Idaho, and was badly cut and bruised. All mail and baggage was saved.

SEATTLE, July C Russian Tefugecs being taken from Shanghai to Odessa on the Seattle steamship Garonne became so riotous between the Chinese port and Singapore that Captain Robert Lawe. master of the ship, was forced to place the ringleaders in Irons. Upon arriving at Singapore. Captain Lawe appealed to the Russian Consul to have the more turbulent of his passengers taken from the ship. His request was refused, and he promptly purchased enough rifles and ammunition to arm his crew. Then he clapped more of the dis turbers In irons, and. subduing the rest by a show of arms, continued on his voy age. Reaching Odessa, the Garonne found the town in a state of siege, and accordingly went to Theodosla, where she arrived in safety, according to a dispatch received today from Captain Lawe by Frank Wa terhouse, owner of the Garonne. ' RUSSIA WILL MAKE PROTEST Take Up Charge of Using Dumdums. Japan's New Demand. ST. PETERSBURG. July 6.

In The Oregonlan this morning there Is a discussion of the probable effect of the di rect .primary law upon the question of elect ing United States Senators, and it is sug gested that the Legislative candidate who pledges himself to vote for that man for Senator who receives the man votes at the primaries will be sure of success. Let us suppose that there are two candi dates for the Legislature from Multnomah County. One candidate pledges himself to support that man for United States Senator who receives the largest vote in the state at the Republican primaries. The other man! says. I am not answerable to anybody out side of Multnomah County, and I shall sup port for Senator that man who carries th l&rgest vote In Multnomah County without reference to the vote in the state at large. Other things being equal, does anyone sup pose that the man who takes the latter po sition will not be elected? The direct primary law will not obliterate factional lines. Multnomah County may strongly favor a man whom Clackamas County bitterly opposes, and the represen tatives of the two counties going to the Legislature to represent their constituents cannot harmonize upon the favorite candi date of either county. Thus, working at cross purposes, these two Representatives will be faithfully representing their re spective constituents, and either one. or both. Is safe In defying the sentiment of the state at large, so long as his own constitu ents Indorse his course. Whatever effect the direct primary law may have In other ways. It has not, ap parently, made the Senatorial problem any Jess complex, C S- 3. WOMAN T PLUCK! FIGHTER (Continued From Page 1.) and pensions of public school teachers reported as follows: One of the most striking development! of recent years In connection with city schools is In the exacting nature of the requirements for teachera. Such requirements are becom ing more and more- revere. The idea that any high school graduate can teach school has quite generally been succeeded by the conviction that no person, however well edu cated generally, can properly teach without special preparation for that duty. The high er standards which are being InMsted upon for the teachers must lead logically to better compensation. The Inadequacy of the sal aried in eame cltlta, after the training that la . necestory to secure the positions, has been usfd successfully as an argument for their Increase, and In some cities it has been admitted where financial reasons have stood In "the way of granting the advance. The fact collected relating to salaries rep resent c5 per cent, of the cities and towns of SOCK) or more Inhabitant. uch cities and towns In the United States number 547 and employ nearly 1CO.OOJ teach ers. From 492 of the, or 00 per cent, salary data more or les complete were secured, and for 467, or k5.4 per cent, complete reports were received. The total number of teachers and supervis ing officers in the 467 cities and towns was 92.S02. Of this number, 70.230 or 75.0 per cent were teachers (not Including principals) in elementary schools, and all except 15ou of the latter number were women. That i to nay. the women teachers In the elementary schools constitute 74 per cent of the enttte number of persons employed either as teachers or In supervisory positions In connection with the schools of these 467 cities. High school teach ers (not Including principal!) make up SC25 or 8.6 per cent of the whole number, and prin cipals of elementary schools 6213 or '6.7 per cent. The average salary of high school teachers (not Including principals) was 41046. the aver ago for the women being $?03 and for the men (1303. This large difference Is due to a considerable extent to the fact that such a large per cent of the men are In the cities of 200.000 population or over, where salaries are high an compared with those In the city of average size. The average yearly nalary of principals of elementary schools was 11163. the average for women being ?970 and for men $1542. The greater percentage for men is to a considera ble extent due u the fact that such a large portion of the cutlre number of men are In the lrer cities. The average yearly salary of the teachers la elementary schools was $061. the average fc-r the women being $650 and for the men $1101. More than one-half of the men teach ers In elementary schools are In the three largfrt cities, with population of 1.000,000 or over New Tork, Chicago and Philadelphia where salaries are relatively high. The average salaries of all the classes of teachers for all the cities decrease steadl'y with the decrease In the size of the cillra. The tendency of rec-nt jears has been to make the requirement for teachers In city ochoota more and more ievere. The candidate without experience, unless a graduate of the city normal or training school, stands small chance of securing a cit position. At the same time the salaries offered are low, but to offset this In a measure provision bi made in many cities for a regular Increase with each year (or perhaps two or three) of service for a definite period, the increase with satis factory service being practically guaranteed. The school authorities can unquestionably hire teachers for country schools for ?25 to f30 a month, or even less, and pay by the month for only the lowest number of month desired, but such a policy is a sacrifice, not of the Inteicsts of the teachers primarily, but of that of the pupils. Experience In a teacher add as greatly to the value of the services rendered as In any skilled occupa tion. A movement towards establishing a minimum .fttlary law by state enactment has had up port In several states, and in Indiana. Mary land. Pennsylvania and In WVst Virginia, such a law haa already been adopted and put Into operation. The teachers of long service, from Informa tion gathered by the committee, constituted a considerable portion of the total number. 3 5 per cent of the men and .6 per cent of the women having taught 10 years w over, while 10 per cent of the men and 4.5 per cent of the women had taught 30 years or over. Of all the teachers In 333 cities of 8000 popu lation or over. 51.7 per cent had taught les than lo years. Hardly a beginning ban as yet been made In the United States towards creating a system of pensions for teacher. In making this statement the committee desires to emphasize the distinction between a pension system prop erly so-called, and all the various arhemes of mutual aid. Including retirement funds and old age stipends that have been organ ized, and are maintained primarily by the teachers themselves, and at their own expense. In this matter the United States, which might have ben expected to go far In advance of other countries If 'the general Interest In public school education alone had been made the basis of prediction, has In reality fallen behind.

St. Louis, de livered an address on "Secret Societies in Secondary Schools." He said: The committee, after carefully reviewing former Investigations on secret societies In secondary schools, report that these socle ties should be discouraged for the following reasons; Because they are unnecessary In high schools; because they are factional and stir up strife and contention: because they form premature and unnatural friendships; be cause they are selfish: because they are snobbish: becnuse they dissipate energy and proper ambition; because they set wrong standards of excellence; because they art narrow; because rewards are not based on merit, but on fraternity vows; because they Inculcate a reeling of self-sufficiency in the members; because they lessen frankness and cordiality toward teachers; because they are hidden and Inculcate dark lantern methods: because they foster a feeling of self importance; because high school boys are too young for club life; because they foster the tobacco habit; be cause they are expensive and foster habits, of extravagance; because of the changing membership from year to year making them liable to bring discredit and disgrace to the school; because they weaken the efficiency of. and bring politics into the legitimate or ganizations of the school; and because they detract Interest from study. Secret fraternities are especially con demned In public schools which are essen tially democratic, and should not be breeding-places for social differentiation. The committee believes that all legitimate ele ments for good, both social, moral and In tellectual, which these societies claim to possess can be better supplied to the puplls tinousp tiit choal at large la the form ot OPERATION AVOIDED EXPERIENCE OF MISS KERKLEY Ehe Was Told That an Operation Was Inevitable. How She Escaped It When a physician tells a woman suf fering -with ovarian or -womb trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for ovarian or iromb operations. There are cases where an operation Is the only resource, but when one con siders the great number of cases of o-arian and womb trouble cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Thjrd Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkbam: "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said I had ovarian trouble and ulceration and advised an opera tion. To this I strongly objected nnd decided to try Lydia E. Pinkh&ft's Vegetable Com pound. "The ulceration traickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am once more strong, vigorous and well." Ovarian and womb troubles are stead ily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing -down pains, leucor rhcea. don't neglectyourself : try Lydia E.

The seventh in ternational convention of the Epworth League was opened today with three simultaneous meetings, which taxed to the utmost the capacity of Coliseum Hall, Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church and Central Presbyterian Church, the largest auditorium in this city. Fully 20.CO0 delegate? - and visitors have been attracted to Denver by the convention. With a single change, the programme was carried out to the letter today. Bishop Isaac W.

"Our church, as well as other churches, is so permeated with the spirit of com mercialism that the spirit of Christ Is crowded into the background. Thirst for wealth and social position seems to have a strong hold on the minds of our young people and heroic measures are necessary to keep them from being swept away on the great wave of commercial ism. I am optimistic, however, and am hopeful for the future." The league has now about l.C0.0 mem bers. Bishop Berry said, and Is con stantly growing.
