THE OILY SCHOOL BOOK AGENT WILL SOPH BE HERE

TIMES Bl'REAF, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., June I. School authorities In the country and smaller towns of the state may expect the enterprising and oily school book agents to drop in on them In a short time and urge on them the advisability of supplying their pupils with supplemental geographies for use in the lower grades. The state board of education has decided on the adoption of a onebook course in geography for the public schools of the state instead of the two-book course which they have had for so many years. This was the culmination of a fight started two years ago by Governor Marshall In favor of the one-book course. ' He based his fight on economy. He held that the people should not be obliged to buy two books if they could as well get along with one book. He said that the saving in this way would amount to many thousands of dollars. He made his argument so

strong that It carried other members of the board and they came around to his way of thinking. Some of the book publishers fought against the one-book Idea, while others supported It. Nearly all of them had both kinds to offer, and both kinds were offered to the board, and the board finally decided on the one-book course. There is a story to the effect that Charles Greathouse. state superintendent of public instruction. sent out

thirty-four letters to leading school men of the state asking them to express their views on the one-book and the two-book course In geography. He wanted them to tell him whether they preferred the one-book or the two- : book course. It is said that thirty-three of the : answers were in favor of the two-book , course and only one In favor of one . book. But In spite of this showing on the part of the school men the one book was adopted. . The school men who favored the twobook course did so, they said, for the reason that this would leave the first one or two of the elementary years of The school without a course In geogra-

A El

phy. They said that the common school

teacher, generally, was not able to frame a course of geography for these one or two years, and that, therefore, the child would be without geography for that length of time. They said this would be detrimental to the pupil and that It ought not to be permitted. One of the school book - men said after the decision of the board had been announced, however, that the adoption of the one-book course would mean practically a two-book course, anyhow, for, he said the school book agents would go out among the school officials in the country and in the small towns and show them that a one-book course was all right for the large cities of the state because In the large cities the schools have a good line of supplemental geographies for the children to study in the early grades, while In the country and smaller places they have no supplemental books. They will urge these officials, he said, to buy supplemental books for their schools, and, he said, many of them will buy

at the expense of the township or the town or city. If this plan is followed it will mean a heavy expense on the school corporations for these books. It will mean, further, that the school book companies will make about as much money on the supplemental books as they would have made on a two-book course

In geography. Very little was heard about the school book adoption this time, and it seemed to have gone along without the least bit of anything to arouse suspicion. School book fights are generally hotly contested and make a big show, but this time there was nothing of that kind. The board took plenty of time to consider the matter, and it is conceded that the board used good Judgment In making the selections, although the wisdom of adopting a onebook course in geography Instead of two is still open to discussion, and will not be settled until the thing has been tried out. In any event It is a victory for governor Marshall.

Two doctors were called and Dr. Graham and Dr. Young worked over her from 8 o'clock until 4 o'clock this morning, when she died. Every effort was made to save her life, but the acid had worked on her system for two hours before the medical men arrived and nothing could be done to keep her alive after she became unconscious. Mrs. Comlskey often complained to her husband of severe pains In her body, which were caused from the effects of a serious operation that she underwent about a year ago. Whether

this was one of the causes for her suicide or whether it was something else Is not known, as she left nothing to tell why she had committed the rash act. Mr. Comlskey said this morning that he always treated her well and that she never complained of his actions, as he always got her anything that she asked for. It could not have been family trouble that made her commit suicide, said Mr. Comlskey this morning. Mr. Comlskey is a painter and was employed by A. B. Carrlgan, where he

Walter Stevens, the alleged labor fluggr of Chicago who was captured by the Gary police near Black Oak last Thursday night, is still being held at the local police tsation. Chief Martin and the local police are all interested in the case, and unless the .Chicago authorities get busy Chief Martin will be compelled to turn Stevens loose as they can not hold him much longer. No charge has been preferred against Stevens, and as he was arrested as a suspect the law does not give the authorities any right to hold a prisoner longer than 24 hours without some charge being preferred against them. Chief Martin is vexed at the delay of th Chicago police department In not securing a warrant for Stevens and for

this reason the police have seemingly lost Interest In their efforts to capture William (Red) O'Connors and his two associates who are believed to be hiding along the Calumet river. Chief Martin stated this morning that he would telephone Chief McWeeney regard Stephens and Intimated triat unless somt? action was taken soon Stevens would be turned loose. Today only three officers are watching the possible avenues of escape that P'Cnnnors and his associates might use. AH day yesterday plain clothes defective scoured the woods and river .banks In search of O'Connors but not .the slightest trace of the labor slugger could be found. Detectives McMullen.

East Chicago, Ind.. June 3. Nick Bruson was arraigned before Judge

Walter J. Riley yesterday on a charge of assault with intent to kill Veronica Croence, his land laly, and was held

to the superior court under $500 bonds which ho was unable up to last even

ing to furnish.

Bruson's wrath against his land lady was inspired by a gentle reminder on the part of her husband that Bruson owed a board bill which he would like

to jee liquidated.

The Croences, Jacob and his wife Veronica, conduct a hoarding house at One Hundred and Thirty-seventh and Cedar streets over the Casa Roumania

saloon. Bruson had heen their boarder for some time, but had been in arrears with his board money. Jacob Croence undertook to remonstrate with him whereupon Bruson grabbed his landlord and hoked him. Mrs. Croence, hearing the- scuffling of the pair as

they fought, ran into the defense of her

husband. Bruson thereupon seized

carving fork from the table and went after the woman. He stabbed her with this In the arm, the point of the fork

being arrested by the bone, but making

a very vicious looking wound.

Nelgnbors notified the police and

Officer Steve Keri came on the run to the scene of the trouble. This was still on when Keri arrived, but the officer yanked Bruson down stairs n a hurry and by this time Officer J$hn Lazar

came up. The two officers took Bruson kicking and struggling, to the station.
