tion of the sexes In Chicago High Schools
Is to be put to an eleborate test in the
near future. If the plans" of B. G. Cooley,
Superintendent of Schools, are carried
out.
The Superintendent's newest plan,
which will come before the Board of Edu
cation at its meeting Wednesday evening.
Is for a system of three technical high
schools for girls, to be located in each of
the three divisions of the city ajid to
correspond to the present technical high
schools for boys.

liKf, cooking and general housekeeping,
theso schools will give instruction in the
various trades which have been invaded

tion to turning out skilled mechanics and
sliopworkors. the public schools will have
to their credit a body of "sweet girl
graduates" who can make gloves, super
intend a weaving room or enter a down
town office as an expert stenographer or
accountant.

to the Board. Mr. Cooley says:
There is undoubted need of schools for

I Kri9 SHIIIIill l Srtm -
I technical high schools which the Board
already has provided and to the third
technical high school which Is projected
for the South Side. It is the opinion of
the Superintendent that a technical high
school for girls should be established first
on the West Side and that in time similar
technical high schools for girls should
be established on the North and South
sides of the city."

PROVES UNHAPPY

DERLAND OF DIVORCE.
If Forced to Choose Between Helle
and Children, Will Keep Lat
. ter and Move Out.
LONDON, Nov. 14. (Special.) Let
ters have been shown The Oregonian
correspondent written by Princess de
Sagan, formerly Miss Anna Gould, to a
friend In London, declaring as untrue
the rumors that her second marriage is
unhappy. She says, however, that if
she must choose between her children
and the Prince, she will keep the chil
dren. She thinks this can be done by a
divorce or legal separation from her
present husband
In fact," one of her letters implies that
the Prince is willing to demand such a
separation In order to defeat Count
Bonl de Castellane's efforts to recover
the children. The Princess declares
herself to be in a "distracted condition"
owing to an apparent probability that
Count Bonl finally will succeed unless
her second marriage, because of which
he demands the children. Is annulled
through divorce or a separation. .
There is a report current today that
the Prince has already taken steps
towards securing the divorce.

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 14. Prince
ton closed an Inglorious football season
vritrf "eeTeifS&tKe hands of Yale to
day, 11 to 6. Outplayed in the first
half 8 to 0, Yale came back determined
for the second and simply carried
Princeton off its feet. Working; like a
piece of machinery In the opening; half,
the Orange and Black returned for the
second. session to show only spasmodic
flashes of the brilliancy displayed
earlier In the day. With Yafe It was
a different story.
Dillon Breaks Down, Cries.
Entering: a contest for the first time
since the sweeping switch of the men
after the Brown game last Saturday,
there was some anxiety in the Yale
camp as to the outcome today, but
as the contest progressed the work of
Yale improved.
Princeton fought -bitterly to avoid
the impending disaster, but the flesh
was weak. When, near the end of the
second half. Captain Dillon, -Princeton's
great little , leader, was carried
from the field fighting and crying
like a child, the. heart seemed to be
taken out of his followers. One by
one the weakened and battered Orange
and Black warriors were replaced by
fresh men until seven substitutes had
been brought Into the game.
Probably not in the history of the
games between these two universities
have two men shone so brilliantly or.
their respective teams as did Coy of
Yale" and Tibbott of Princeton today.
Tlbbott by his brilliant runs around
ends and his wonderful work In open
field made possible Princeton's only
touchdown, while Coy, with bulldog
tenacity, tore great holes In the Prince
ton line and many times It required
the"combined strength of at least four
Princeton men to stop this player.
Dillon Knocked Senseless.
If Yale has anything new In the
football book she religiously kept It
hidden for the Harvard game next
Saturday. She rarely tried the forward
pass and as infrequently resorted to
the on-side. Yale relied almost wholly

HOT CONTEST FOR
HEMENWAY'S SEAT
KERX" LEADS FOR SENATOR
WITH BRYAN'S SCPPORT.
Xo Such Struggle In Indiana for
-Twenty Years Taggart Also
May Enter Scrimmage. v
IXDIANAPOLIS, Xov. 14. (Special.)
Indiana Democrats are putting forth a
large crop of senatorial aspirants and
the contest for Mr. Hemenway's seat is
the liveliest in many years. In fact there
has been no such struggle since 1887. John
W. Kern, the defeated candidate for
Vice-President, seems to have the l4?ad
and has the backing of W. J. Bryan.
Benjamin F. Shlveley, with a creditable
record In Congress and a very strong
following, is his chief competitor and a
formidable one. He has been Democratic
candidate for Governor and has been
nominated for Senator before. John B.
Lamb, of Terre Haute; "George V.
Menzies, of Mount Vernon, and I B.
Slack, of Franklin, are also active candi
dates. There is also a possibility that Thomas
Taggart may enter the contest. No one
believes he could be elected, but he could
so weaken the Kern forces that Mr.
Shlveley would have a walk-over. Mr.
Taggart and Mr. Kern have been such
close friends, however, that this con
tingency Is not greatly feared.
SON SUES HISAGED FATHER
Claims Parent Refused to Give Him
Land as He Agreed.
HILLSBORO,' Or., Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) William Bell, of Tualatin, has
sued his father, Bernard Bell, for spe
cific performance of contract, which
was verbal, and entered into In 1599.
The father, who was then 70 years of
age. agreed to give the son. according
to the complaint, a deed to a tract of
land if the boy would keep him and
improve the farm.
The son claims he has faithfully kept
his end of the bargain, and that some
few years ago a deed was made out.
Last August, however, the plaintiff
says, the father found the deed and
burned it. He now asks the court to
prevent the father from selling the
place, and wants his equity and rights
determined.
He alleges that he has spent about
11200 In labor and money in Improve
ments, and that' the place is now worth
about $2000.

LITTLE DANGER OF OUTBREAK

VICTORY FOR REFORMERS
Choice of Prince Chan as rttrkasr
Introduces Modern Element Into
Government . and ' Respects
Rule of Succession.
PEKIN. Nov. 14, 8 P. M. The Emperof
died shortly after 5 o'clock this after
noon. Kwang Hau's later life was a pitiable
spectacle to his attendants. His feeble
ness had rendered him a mere puppet and
he had suffered long from ill health,
which was combined with fear and
despair. Latterly he showed marked
signs of mental disturbances and even
went so far last August as to declare
himpelf mad.
The Emperor had been 111 for a lon
time and during recent audiences with
foreign representatives he was unable td
sit upon the throne, or even in an erect
position. It was evident for a long tiin
that he would be unable to withstand
a crisis whlcn sooner or later must de
velop in the disease from which he was
suffering. Recent climatic extremes
caused fatal complications.
Dowager Critically III.
At the moment of the death of th
Emperor, the Dowager Empress' owo
death chamber chair was waiting in tin
courtyard. She, too, had been in a seri
ous condition and word was brought to
her earlier In the day that the Emperof
was dying, caused her to collapse. TIili
has prevented her assuming the relation
ship of grandmother .to the successor to
the throne, which according to the Chi
nese, would enormously augment her au
thority. There is little Indication of emotion
among the people. The Emperor's death
and the probable death of the Dowagei
Empress within a short time, have had
very little effect upon the Chinese, who
are pursuing the even tenor of their way
without signs of mourning.
The report of yesterday that the
Dowager Empress of China was mor
tally ill was today confirmed by the
Foreign Board of the government.
The edict promoting Prince Chun to
the regency and his infant son, Pu
Wei, to be heir presumptive, made a
good public impression. It satisfies
the reformers and appeals to the senti
ments held by the people for Kuan
Hsu, because It respects the close blood
ties In the matter of succession and In
troduces a new and more modern ele
ment into the government. It Is an
evidence of the victory of the re
formers. Prince Made Regent, .
The government today notified the
American Legation officially that
Prince Chun had been made Regent
and that he was to be the head of the
state. This is recognition of the re
tirement of the Dowager Empress,
One of the edicts issued in the nam
of the Emperor said:
"Since last Autumn we have been
111. The physicians recommended by
the government have not been suc
cessful In curing us. We are weak and
without spirit, racked by pain, without
appetite, cold and feverish, and it hag
been Impossible for us to sleep. We
are anxious to permit the Viceroys and
the Governors to send other physicians
to us quickly and we will give extra
ordinary rewards to the physicians or
officials who help us."
The foregoing dispatch from Pekln
sets at rest the conflicting rumors of tin
last two days that have originated In
