, . J , 8Year-OId Boy Gives Up His Life to Save Pet Doff

FORT PAYNE, Ala., Jan. 12. Johnnie Long, eight-year-old son of Mrs. Homer Adams, sacrificed, his life here to save his dog. With two other companions, the lad was walking the tracks of a railroad. A fast train bore down on them and

the boys leaped to safety. Johnnie noticed that his dog seemed unmindful of the approach of the train and he jumped back on the rail to save his pet. He tossed the dog from the track, but was himself caught under the train.

Theaters for Children

INDIANS ABANDON TEPEES WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The 2,500 Indians living on the Ft. Apache reservation in Arizona have been persuaded at last to abandon their tepees for the modern home. The department of the interior has announced it had completed plans for the erection of frame houses for this

tribe, described as the most back

ward of all civilization.

CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 12. A national children's theater to bring poetry and literature to juvenile audiences and offset the cheaper pernicious forms of entertainment, is one ol

the dreams of E. H. Sothern and his wife, Julia Marlowe, Shakespearean performers, they have disclosed. In carrying out one of their hobbles in giving free matinees for children, they discovered the fascination oi the play for children and gradually

the idea that there should be a national .theater for the boys and girls

took hold of them.

"Such a theater, I think, will come

in one way or another," said Sothern

"It should come for every city. Most important, it should come nationally." And such theater, he and his wife

agreed, should have a repertory ol not only juvenile fantasies but adult

masterpieces with only one specinca

tion that it shall be of tfye best that

drama affords.

What i3 said to be the largest Klan funeral ever held In 'Washington County, Ohio, was on December 21, when funeral services were held for Jake C. Gilcher, 29 years of age. The services were in charge ot Washington County Klan assisted by the American Legion, Odd Fellows and Grange. There were more than one hundred robed Klansmen and approximately thirty members of the Women of the Ku Klnx Klan appeared in regalia. A Klan quartet sang at the services which were attended by many hundreds ot persons, both members and non-members of the Klan organization.

It was Edmund Burke who remarked: "The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion." And it might be added that all delusions, political or religious, come up after we have forgotten the rights of all and, their several connections with God's obvious plans.

TEACHER WHO DEFIED

PULL IS TO RETURN Chicago Is to Pay William McAndrew $15,000 Year as City Superintendent

Anti-Alien Land Laws Not Product of Prejudice

CHICAGO, Jan. 12. William McAndrew, associate superintendent of schools in New York, yesterday was chosen to succeed Peter A. Morten-

son as superintendent of Chicago's public schools. More than thirty years ago McAndrcws was ousted as principal of the Hyde Park high school because he refused to obey a school trustee who sought favors for a relative. He obtained the votes of all

except one of the the trustees. The formal meeting at which he was selected was preceded by a caucus of the board of education that voted 7 to 4 in his favor. The decisive vote was 10 to 1. Dr. John Dill Robertson, former president of the board, was the trustee who prevented an unanimous

vote. When his name was called

he rose "and said:

"Mr. President, I pass my vote be

cause I am not convinced we must go

outside Chicago to find a person ca pable of filling this position."

The salary of the superintendent i was fixed at $15,000, an increase, of .$3,000 over that paid Superintendent

Mortenson, but ?3,000 less than the

$18,000 salary voted Charles E. Chadsey four years ago, when he

filled the position for a, few months

According to the law and the terms

of the school board motion, Mr. Mc-

Andrews was elected for four years.

WOULD DEPORT ALIEN

DRY LAW VIOLATORS

CINCINNATI, O.. Jan. 12. A OQy of the bill which Representative

John L. Cable, of the fourth Ohio

district, will introduce in congress

asking that aliens be deported for

violation of state and national pro

hibitioa laws, has been received by Municipal Court Judge Meredith

Yeatman. The measure is said to

have been suggested to the congress

man by Judge Yeatman, who says

such a law is needed to curb viola

tions of the liquor laws. The bill

prepared by Cable covers all points

he said.

Judge Yeatman has found that a

largo percentage of prohibition ot

fenders arraigned In bis court are aliens and he believes deportation

is the only solution of the problem

DRIVE AGAINST VICE

IN COLUMBUS ACTIVE

In considering the anti-alien land laws, we may be sure that they are not the product of blind and malicious racial prejudice. They must be the sane thought of people striving honestly to solve a difficult local problem a problem which the middle west and east can not wholly understand. In the final analysis, it is apparent that the social system

or tne country and the racial character must determine the resulting

condition, because it is the social

system of the country and the racial character from which the main bulk

of the population ipf any country

must come. The weakest point in the California position has been the

concentration of land in large hold

ings. These holdings have been farmed largely by Japanese tenants. The owners of the land have basked

in the opulence of a perfect climate

and have forgotten the debt of man to the soil. Somebody else has done

the work for them. "Somebody else" has been the Japanese. Now the ef

forts of the workers to rise toward

social equality by purchasing land themselves have suddenly jarred the

wealthy land owners out of their

paradise. And it is obvious that

the problem has been brought up originally by carelessness and self-

indulgence.

The best type of American farm

er looks with no favor UDon the

California system, nevertheless he

deplores the drift of things that has

got the California landholder into trouble. He knows that under such

system the aericultural iMtmla-

tion and eventually the general pop

ulation will be almost certain to deteriorate. The Japanese tenant

farmer has worked only a small

proportion of the state, perhaps.

but he has represented the system mentioned at its 3&g. worst, and

anybody should be abieTtb see where

the current of the river will run.

The Japanese must be eliminated from California soil that elimina

tion is exactly as essential as the Californian believes it to be. Whatever the Californian's mistakes in

the past, he must be helped out of

his present difficulty.

With this fuss on, it is obvious

that the Japanese government will be invited cordially to go away back

and sit down. In sunny Nippon it

should be easy to forget sunny

California, particularly when one

remember what was pointed out in the Fiery Cross several months ago

namely, that there is very much tillable soil in fair Nippon which has not yet been touched by the Japanese farmer.

Reorganized Police Squad

Makes 400 Arrests in Month Much Liquor Confiscated

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 12. More

thaii four hundred arrests were made

by the reorganized .te squad of the

uoiumous ponce department in ue

cember, according to the report of

Sergeant James W. Baker to Chief

of Police French. Two hundred and

fifty gallons of whisky and two hundred gallons of wine were confiscated and a total of $21,857.70 in fines was .assessed. The list of arrests shows that ninety persons were arrested for illegal possession of intoxicating liquor and the majority of these were persons who had previously been convicted of similar offenses. Gambling was second in importance, according to the report. Chief French is said to have instructed the vice squad to enforce the law against all alike -and, since

the reorganization of the crusading

body, the results indicate that his orders are being obeyed.

NO PRIZE FIGHTS IN

KLAN'S MARION HOME

MARION, O., Jan. 12. Although

the ring was up and all preparations

had been made for holding a boxing

bout, the equivalent of a prize fight,

in the new. Ku Klux Klan building in this city, the proposed fight was called off by the Exalted Cyclops as soon as he heard of it In taking over the new building, the Klan intends to clean up the place in a moral sense as well as in its physical appearance. Prize fights, therefore, under the pretense of a boxing match will be prohibited. In taking this stand, the Klan not only backs up its professed principles by action, but makes it possible for the Christian churches to co-operate with the Klan's efforts for a bet

ter understanding of the people of

its purposes in cleaning up Amerl can life generally.

KNOW THE CHILDREN, JUDGE POWELL URGES

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 12. "Get out of your office and inspire the people of your community to take an interest in the young folks and keep them out of the courts," advised Judge Reed M. Powell in addressing the Association of Probate Judges of Ohio at a session here. The Ohio plan for carrying on

relief work among crippled children

was indorsed by Edgar F. Allen, of

Elyna, president of the International

Society for Crippled Children. T. O. Reed, chaplain of the Ohio State

Penitentiary, spoke of the educa

tional work being carried on among

prisoners ot that institution and

asked" the judges to support a move-

mint tor legislative appropriation to

extend the work.

Woman Lawyer Can Not

Budge Men to Reach Court

NEW YORK, Jan. 12. "Women." said a court attendant, "make some

funny excuses."

He was watching Hortense Lera-

ner leave the courtroom of the ap

pellate division of the Supreme court after having been informed by

justices injur, lutuutn ana iyaonmat the case la which she was interested

had been adjourned until the Feb

ruary term: Miss Lersner was not on hand when it was called and

when asked why she said;

"I was there, hut, being only a

woman, I was jhk able to force my

way through crowd ot big men

who were standing In the doorway.

Miss Lersner left saying she

thought the faithful performance of

the daily doses would probably in

crease her ability as lawyer.

(Kansas City Star) Digging away with gouges and

paddles, probably made of buffalo bones, prehistoric men, who lived in

Meade and Clark counties, Kansas, skillfully constructed great artificial embankments which diverted the waters of Four Mile creek through an ancient canal.

Such is the conclusion of a field

party representing the Arkansas

Valley Archaeological Survey, head

ed Dy warren K. Moorehead, direc

tor of the Andover, Mass., Museum of American Archaeology. The ex

pedition spent several days in the

late spring of 1920 examining one

of the ancient channels, according to

J. B. Thoburn, secretary of the Oklahome State Historical Society, a

member of the party. More recent

inspections have been made by Tno

burn.

"The builders of these ancient arti

ficial waterways evidently possessed engineering skill of no mean order, as some of their cuts, fills and meanders on sloping ground abundantly

prove," Thoburn said. "when running along the face ot a declivity at right angles to the slope they invariably piled the excavated dirt on the lower side. When one looks at such a piece ot work and reflects that

not only was it accomplished without

tne aid of teams or plows or scrapers, but also that even the archaic

shovel and wheelbarrow were lacking, he is bound to admit the magni

tude of the task.

The actual work of excavation

seems to have bees done by means

ot gouges and paddles made of but

falo bones, while the earth doubtless was transported by means ot wicker

baskets." .
