President of Chicago School
Board Says It Would
Soon Work Reform.
USES VIGOROUS LANGUAGE
Cava High School Boys Who Belong
to Secret Societies Are Insolent
Beyond Belief Students
Take Case Into Court.
CHICAGO. Sept. 15. (Special.) Ot
to C. Snyder, president of the Board
of Education. believes that If corporal
punishment were restored In the Chi
cago high schools the much discussed
"frat evil" would disappear In just
about the proverbial number of shakes
of the dead lamb's tail.
Now, don't be frightened. He Is not
thinking of putting his belief into Im
mediate practice- He merely expressed
his opinion on the subject today ex
pressed It vigorously too in comment
ing on his experience of the day be
fore with 51 Hyde Park high school
recalcitrants who were barred from
the school building for the day.
"Since our conference with those
boys and girls yesterday afternoon, I
have become pretty clear as to what
they need." he said. "The boys I mean.
If they could be taken out behind the
school building and given a good old
fashioned spanking, it would do more
real good than all the rules the board
can make.
Iaw Does Not Korbld.
"Oh yes. we could do It. The Illinois
state law does not forbid corporal pun
ishment. It would simply be a matter
of annulling our own rule. I don't
say that I am going to advocate any
such measure, but I am convinced that
It would be a good thing.
"The conduct of the boys who at
tended that conference showed exact
ly why we are stamping out the fra
ternities. They were impudent and
ill-mannered. When we went into the
committee room It was a general rush
for seats and It was almost Impos
sible for Superintendent Cooley and me
to find chairs. When we gave them
an opportunity to state their case they
were Impudent and cocky. I never
raw such an exhibition of demoraliza
tion In youngsters In my life."
Superintendent Cooley did not advo
cate corporal punishment, but he
was even more emphatic than the
president In commenting on the boys'
conduct.
There was enough evidence right on
the floor of the committee-room to con
vict everr High School fraternity In
Chicago." he aald. They were not only
Impudent they were Insolent."
So far as the "frat fight" is con
cerned, the day brought a grateful Iu!l
In the hostilities. At the Hyde Park
High School, the pledges of the recal
citrants were accepted, signed "under
protest." and all returned to their
classes with the single exception of

her who was selected as plaintiff In
the test case In the Circuit Court. Mc
Donald today filed a mandamus suit
seeking to compel the School Board to
reinstate him.
As each pledge was presented. Prin
cipal Loomls told the signer that the
promise would -be Interpreted to mean
that all connection with secret organ
izations had been abandoned, except
such connection as might be necessary
for prosecuting law suits In the courts.
No visible evidence of Identification
with the societies, such as the wearing
of "frat" pins, will be tolerated. The
same rules will be Insisted on at the
other High Schools.
So far as the various principals knew.
all the secret society members signed
the pledges and returned to their
classes during the day.
Students Gain Point.
At two points the fraternities ap
pear to have gained a possible point
over the Board of Education. Neither
President Schneider nor Superintendent
Cooley would commit himself on the
question as to whether membership in
National organizations will be permit
ted, and in the matter of the signing
of pledges by parents, it has been an
nounced that there will be no attempt
to compel those who decline.
"We are not going to be bumptious
In enforcing this rule," said Mr. Cooley
"I want to find out Just what Is meant
by this plan of keeping National mem
bership before I decide anything. If
the boys and girls will meet us half
way. we shall accept their action in the
spirit in which it is offered, but if this
is merely an attempt to evade the
spirit of the Boards' rule. It will not
be tolerated for a minute. If they are
going to wear pins and belong to
alumni associations, they might just as
well have their own chapters."

Denies Report That Followed Ad

consin Defendants New In
dictments Cure All Defects.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. (Special.)
The Department of Justice, contrary
to a published report, has no Intention
of dropping the prosecution of the
Southern Idaho land-fraud cases. When
Judge Quarles, of Wisconsin, recently
refused to order the removal of Barber
and Moon to Idaho for trial on the
ground that the Indictment was insuf
ficient. It was reported that other par
ties Indicted with ' these defendants
would not be prosecuted. As the Attorney-General
was then on his vacation,
no authoritative information could be
obtained. It was given out at the de
partment today, however, that both
Barber and Moon have been re-arrested
under a new indictment drawn by Spe
cial Attorneys Gordon and Rush, who
were sent to Idaho early In the Sum
mer, and that it was believed that this
new indictment would hold.
The department, however, is not
ready to proceed with the prosecution
of these cases this Fall, as had been
expected, and a postponement will be
asked. Frank Martin, of Boise, one of
the defendants, bas been demanding an
Immediate trial, but Peyton Gordon,
who Is now In'Idaho, will move a post
ponement when the cases are called.
Trial Is not probable before next
Spring.

The result of the Maine election, Mr.

"The whole question at Issue," he
added, "was the re-submission of the
Prohibition question. Two weeks ago
I was informed that for this reason the
Republican majority would be reduced
to just about the extent It has been."
Replying to the resolution of con

convention, Mr. Taft today sent this

States, who were assembled here to
day in conference with Chairman
Hitchcock, of the Republican National
committee, expressed their gratifica
tion at the re-nomination of Charles E.
Huirhes for Governor of New York.
Without exception the leaders declared
that tho action of the New York con
vention will aid the Republicans in
their campaigns in all of the debat
able states of the West.
Requests that Mr. Hughes be sent
into Western states to make campaign
speeches have been received In great
numbers, and many of the chairmen
of state central committees have been
Insistent in their demands. He will be
asked to visit as many states as he
can in the time he has to spare from
his own campaign. It Is said that he
may be scheduled to speak in Kansas,
Nebraska and other Western states
where his popularity Is strong.

He said that the small ma

bearing upon the National election. He
thought ,that the return of the entire
Republican Congressional delegation
was an Indication that the party in
Congress meets with the approval of
the state, regardless of local differ
ences. He predicted that In the Na

majority would be given Taft and

SCHEME FAILS TO SLAY
Explosion Flings Guatemalan Ty
rant Against Wall, but Only
Bruises Him America Saves
Suspects From Death.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15. (Special.)
Death by telephone Is the most recent
method of an Invention devised for Pres
ident Cabrera, of Guatemala, according
to the statements of the officers of the
City of Para, which arrived here today.
The revolutionists In the plot hit upon
a new way of accomplishing death when
they attached a wire to the telephone In
Cabrera's office and connected the other
end with an infernal machine hidden fc
another part of the room. This Js" sup
posed to have been accomplished during
the night, and there was nothing in the
appearance of the room to Intimate that
sudden death had been so cunningly
prepared for the dictator.
Soon after Cabrera entered the room the
telephone bell rang. Whether the plotters
had themselves called the President's
number or had left that to chance and
the ordinary routine of the day has not
been discovered. Answering the call,
Cabrera took the receiver off the hook
end on the instant came an explosion that
shattered the desk and flung the presi
dent against the wall. The device of the
would-be assassins had worked as they
had planned, but their victim escaped
with a few bruises.
For want of a better clew the police ar
rested Ave Salvadoreans on suspicion.
Their Immediate execution was ordered,
but the American Minister at Guatemala
intervened and the sentence was com
muted to banishment and the five were
placed on board the City of Para and
taken to Acajutla, where they went
ashore.
