New Law, Requiring Instruction Given in Both Dutch and Eng lish Causes Trouble. ' JOHANNESBURG. Julyy 4. (Special.) An educational crisis is threatened In Orangia. As was predicted, a great deal of friction has been created, and general dissatisfaction has been aroused among the British section of the population over the working of General Hertzog's act, which provides that instruction must be given partly in Dutch and partly in Eng lish, and that teachers must be proficient In both languages. Rigid insistence upon the letter of the law has brought the Education Department into collision with various local authorities, and so strong Is the feeling that it has been suggested that in the interests of their children the Eng lish colonists should set up schools of their own. The situation is thus summed up by a Cape journal: The act has not been in force five months, and already it Is fulfilling the gloomiest predictions. Expiring racialism has been fanned anew into flame; some of the best teachers are quitting the serv ice in disgust, and poor substitutes are taking their place; confusion has been Introduced into school classes, and the children are sufferers; the work of the teachers, the school committee and the Director of Education has been rendered extraordinarily difficult, and both Dutch and English-speaking parents have been forced into a condition of discontent which threatens to bring about just such an other school disruption as retarded educa tional progress for some time under the Crown Colony government." It is added that at present there are not nearly enough certified teachers of fering themselves for vacancies in the colony, and that the average standard of attainment of the staff is falling Instead of improving year by year. The imported teachers, mostly English and Scottish, who were the backbone of the service, are gradually being lost. In five years their numbers fell from 240 to 90. Resignations are constantly occurring, and In one year, according to the last report of the Di rector of Education, more than one fourth of the entire staff left the service.

Worcester, Insular Secre tary of Interior, Says Filipinos Under ' Stimulus of Sporting Rivalry Forget Hatreds. MANILA. July 5. Dan C. Worcester, Insular Secretary of the Interior, re turned today from his annual visit and tour of Inspection among the wild moun tain tribes of Northern Luzon. He reports that excellent result have thus far attended the efforts of the Philip pine Commission to stop head-hunting among the mountain tribes and to bring to an end the inter-tribal wars that have kept the interior in a constant state of ferment and unrest. The Ifugaos, the wildest and most tur bulent of the mountain tribes, who num ber over 100,000, have not taken a head In the last 21 months, according to the Secretary's report, although they were among the most frequent offenders be fore the present campaign was under taken. Secretary Worcester discovered that the mountain men were exceedingly fond of athletic competition. In furtherance of his desire to bring the tribes into more friendly relations with each other, he held a series of fiestas and field meets, encouraging the natives to enter in the contests. His plan was well received and members at tribes that have been at war with each other for centuries engaged in races and strength contests on friendly terms. The tribes are now engaged in con structing mountain trails between their settlements, the larger towns planning to build highways for this purpose. The mountain men are engaging more general ly in farming and weaving and other peaceful pursuits, and the whole section Is more orderly and less turbulent than it has ever been known to be before.

IICOMINBTO STUDY DIRECT PRIMARY i New 'York Legislature Sends Junket Party to Learn of Oregon Idea. ! RABBI WISE HELPS HUGHES I Governor and Supporters Begin Educational Campaign, hut Par ty Leaders Give Little Serious Heed to Reformers. BT LLOYD F. LONERGAX. NEW YORK. July 4. (Special.) A state-wide campaign is on, designed to bring the question of direct nominations to the front, but up to the present time it has failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the rank and file of the voters. Governor Hughes has taken a strong position in favor of the "reform." Much to his surprise he has found that many of his former friends have declined to follow him in his crusade. The machine leaders have made the Governor's fight an excuse for a Junket. A joint legislative committee has been appointed to investigate the entire sub ject of direct nominations. Now that the weather is warm they are "Investigating'' in New England. Later they are going to Seattle, the Fair, of course, being a mere Incident. They will probably visit Yellowstone Park en route, and may drop in at Portland. Anyway they have planned a most in teresting and expensive itinerary, and will undoubtedly absorb much valuable information concerning the United States before they return to Albany. All that the taxpayers are sure of is that they will have big bills to pay. and that the report of the committee will be In line with the decision of Herbert Parsons. Timothy L. Woodruff and United States Senator Elihu Root particularly Root. Pressure Used on Candidates. The Governor does not expect any as sistance from the Legislative committee, but pins his hopes on the work of the "State Direct Primary Association" which was brought into being in the closing days of the Legislative session. Its mem bers then advocated the enactment of a direct nomination law, having the gen eral features of the defeated Hinman Green bill. Since the law-makers went home the "S. D. P. A." has been busy preparing for its "state-wide campaign." William H. Wadhara?, a former Judge of the City Court, is president of the as sociation. Judge Wadhams was named to fill a vacancy on the bench, due to death. He was nominated for a full term, but lost out, and even failed to make an impressive run. Judge Wadhams, in his new sphere of activity, believes the best thing to do is to bring influence to bear upon candi dates for the Legislature who will be named this Fall. He declares that all the Influence of-the organization will be swung against those candidates who re fuse to pledge themselves to support a direct nominations bill. This will not be done by the associa tion as a state league, but by the county organizations which are being formed as a part of the work of the state organiza tion, tt any of these county leagues desire to support an independent candi date against a "machine" Republican who has refused to bind himself to the sup port of Governor Hughes On the direct nominations question, the state associa tion will help that campaign as much as possible. Movement Is Nonpolitical. "This is not a partisan movement, nor is . it an antl-organizatlon movement," Judge Wadhams explains. "Of course the regulars of the machine call us sore heads and kickers, but we can stand for that. We already have in this or ganization men of both big political parties, and we believe in responsible party government and in organization. "But on the other hand we believe in having primary laws which will assure each citizen, of whatever partyv that he may vote at his party's primaries with a certainty of having his vote counted and without having his will discounted by machine manipulation in the pri maries, or by manipulation of delegates after the primaries. All we want Is a chance to select our officials without the intervention of middle men. who may understand our desires, or may not, and who may or may not carry out our direc tions." Judge Wadhams explains that already his association has subordinate organiza tions in the following counties, New York Kings, Queens, Richmond (these being In SfattT :few Jork a"d in Westchester. ,e?neida' ntario- Cayuga. Onondaga and Monroe. In the last named county, there Is an organization in each of the three assembly districts. The work of organization is pro gressing in the other counties, and be fore September it is expected that each will have a body of earnest, direct worners. xne active work Is in charge of an "advisory council " which In the course of time will in clude men from every section of the state. At present the bulk of the members are from Greater New York It cannot be denied that there are some mighty good meu in .the advis ory council. v Rabbi Wise Active Leader. o F7. examP'e. there tn Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, well known in Portland, and now rapidly becoming prominent here Oscar Straus, who has a record as a diplomat; William Chllvers.

Brooklyn contributes County Regis ter W. H. Prendergast. ex-Congressman George Waldo and Darwin R. James president of the Young Republican Club. Among the upstate representatives are F. N.

Mott. a former superintendent of Banks; Frederick R. Hazard, one of the important manufacturers in Syracuse and Stephen C. Clark, of Coopeistown' a son-in-law of the late Bishop Potter! "It Is a classy committee," said a Republican district leader today, "but the trouble is that it is too classy. It is not able to reach the rank and file of the voters, and it never will." And this seems to be the jceneral opinion. Hunt as you will throughout the city, it Is impossible to find any public sentiment In favor of the latest of the Governor's reforms. The general sentiment is one of In difference. Voters believe that the present election laws are good, and do not need improvement. Consequently thev are not fnllfnir afa. v. . i i to join the State Direct Primary Asso ciation, and they really lack interest in the movements of ex-Judge Wad hams and his associates. While legislators are not anxious to go on record as yet, in private they de clare that they do not give a hoot for the work of the new organization. And they believe that they will be able effectually to spike the reformers' guns. "The regular candidates this Fall," said one Republican assemblyman who has served four years at Albany, "will j De named oy tne two Dig party organ izations. . Suppose in my district that I refuse to subscribe to this pledge? Then, of course, my opponent would be Indorsed In the natural course of events. "But suppose, and it Is a supposi tion that will probably become a real ity, suppose we both ignore the re formers? What are they going to do about it? They are not strong enough in any district to elect an Independent candidate. No matter what they do they lose." And this is the answer to the direct primary fight, for this year at least. "No matter- what they (the reform ers) do, they lose." For we do not want any Oregon ex periences down here, thank you. CUSHMAN IS STILL LOW (Continued From First Page.) terests that might do him some good In a campaign. He is principal owner of one of the largest shingle mils in the West, located at Kelso, but makes his home in Tacoma. A. S. Ruth, of Olympia. preslden ef the State Senate, is also an aspirant for Cush man's job. It is said that Ruth has been laying his wires for some time in antici pation that Cushman would run for the Senate. If anything would cause Governor Hay to take an active part in a congressional election in favoring one candidate above another, it would be the fact that Ruth was seeking the election. Ruth is the leader and brains of the anti-administration faction in the Washington Legisla ture, and does not hesitate to express his opinion of Hay in uncomplimentary terms. Ruth is one of the backers of an anti-administration weekly newspaper that made its initial appearance in Olym pia last week. The object of this news paper, it is believed, is not only to rep resent the forces in the Southwest op posed to the policies of Governor Hay, but to boost Ruth for Congress as well. Clajpool Would Oppose Ruth. Ruth, however, it is promised, would have opposition in his own county. Charles E. Claypool. of Olympia, it is said, has been planning to try for Cush man's position, if for any reason, Cush man is out of the running. Claypool is one of the best known political stump speakers in the Southwest. In recent years, he has been engaged in the law practice in Fairbanks, Alaska, coming to Washington for the Winters and cam paigning for the Republican ticket when an election is on. For the purpose of running for Congress, it is said, that Claypool lias given up his Alaska resi dence and already claims Olympia as his home in fact. Should a special election be called, the Grays Harbor country might also be fig ured in. Aberdeen and Hoquiam have been growing some during the last few years and in George Emerson, of Aberdeen, is another likely candidate. Mr. Emerson has often been told he was good timber and he has reached the point of believing it. Emerson is the head of a big lumber ing concern, which operates in the Grays Harbor country, and will likely be noticed somewhat, should a special election be called. The men mentioned are the only ones so far as known here who have been watching Cushman's course with the view to succeeding him, but if death should remove the Congressman at this time it is practically certain that others would immediately enter the contest. If a vacancy should occur and Governor Hay should call a special election the state would likely find itself embroiled in an administration and anti-administration row, for it is hard to see how Hay could keep out of the fight that would be waged in view of the fact that the nom inations would be made by the old con vention method. The primary election law of this state does not apply to spe cial elections held for the purpose of fill ing unexpired terms. It apparently, however, would not be obligatory upon the Governor to call a special election, but if he did not the state would lose part of its representation in Congress during the remainder of the present special session of Congress and during the next regular session. Pressure would undoubtedly be too strong for the Governor to resist calling an election If death Is the result .of Cushman's illness. Scramble on Next Election. But In the event either of Cushman's demise or retirement at the end of his present term there would be a scramble for his shoes in the next regular election similar to that which occurred In the Eastern Washington district in the last primary campaign. There undoubtedly would be more than four candidates In the field, making necessary voting for second choice candidates. So long as Cushman is alive and retains his present popularity In his district he is not likely to have much opposition in seeking re election. He Is too strong with the voters and too good a campaigner for any new man to hope to oust him. A successor during the unexpired term could not hope to gain Cushman's popularity and would have opposition in the regular election. For years Mr. Cushman has held the right of way in Congressional nomi nations at the hands of conventions. Ever since the days of populism Cush man has had not even a near-rival. Of course when the new primary law was placed in effect last year there was a belief that someone would come out against him and carry off the nom ination. But even this belief was dis pelled when the last day for filings came forth and it was found that no one would take up the gauntlet thrown down by the new primary law.. Four years ago B. W. Coiner, of Lewis County, was an active candi date for the office in oposition to Cush man. For many years the Southwest figured it out that they should have a representative in Congress for the United States Senator and a Congress man came from Tacoma. The division of the spoils did not seem altogether right, and Coiner received much en couragement, but the Southwest, which has always had a chance to break every combination in a Republican conven tion, failed at the last minute, and Coiner lost. Cushman In the last primary election polled 19,812 votes In his district, his nearest- and only competitor, B. D. Brown. Democrat, polling 1704. In the general election following the prima ries Cushman received 29,850 and Brown 12,006. Of course, Tacoma would not wish to relinquish its hold in Congress in the event of Cushman's death, and aside from Senator Metcalf and George T. Reld, Senator Paulha mus Is regarded as Congressional tim ber. Both Cushman and Humphrey had a walkaway in the last elections, but as Republican politics have developed in this state within the last few months following the scandals that have been brought to light. there Is no sure thing that matters will stand as they are at present. As a matter of fact it is pointed out the elecion of two new members of the Legislature, Democrats from Republican strongholds, has set politicians guessing. The future of the party's progress depends greatly, so It is declared, upon the consequences of political housecleaning, which is now under way in the State of Washington.

(Special. ) Henry Gable, the chief Franklin County horseman, who has figured prominently in connection with the arrest of several men in Whitman County and two in Franklin County, charged with stealing his horses from the ranges In the vicinity of Con nell and Eagle Lake, and the subsequent excitement created by his sudden disap pearance under conditions that gave rise to the belief that he had been murdered, was in Colfax today making arrangements to redeem the horses belonging to him that were sold recently by Baize, Watson & Blankenship to Endicott and La Crosse parties.
