CIMPLFID SPELIN
3 MUCH IN FAVOR
The four divisions of the department
of secondary education of the educa
tion' association, met yesterday after
noon in separate rooms of Golden Gate
hall to discuss the pertinent problems
of the teaching of English, mathemat
ics, classics and modern foreign lan
guages. ' -.-•.. ■:[':,,/
The meeting of the English division
was presided over by James Fleming
Hosic of the Chicago Normal school,
mathematics by Mellen W. Haskell of
the University of Chicago, classics by
Herbert O. Williams of the Sacramento
high school, and modern foreign lan
guages by Abram Gideon of the Colo
rado teachers' college. '.:.,.-'
The discussion took the form of
symposiums upon assigned topics.
In the division of English, "College
Entrance Requirements In English"
was -discussed by Henry W. Dewey,
superintendent of the Oregon schools.
Mrs. Henry Hulst of the Grand Rapids
high school, Charles Mills Gayley of
the.University of California, Miss Em
ma Breck of the Oakland high school,
Lewis B. Avery of the San Jose high
school and Samuel Seward of Stanford.
The general tendency of the opinions
expressed took the form of a revolt
against the exclusive j entrance re
quirements of such institutions as Har
vard, Amherst and other eastern uni
versities. ■..l'j,r i* ;'*'•-'.-".;-:'.
The work of the mathematics divi
sion was concentrated upon a report of
a committee of fifteen upon a syllabus
of geometry and the discussion was as
technical as is Implied In the topic.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler of California
university, James T. Allen of the same
institution. W. Scott Thomas of Cali
fornia, Charles B. Gleason of the San

Lowell high school, this city, and
Walter.H. Graves of the Oakland high
school and H. C. Nutting of. the Uni
versity of California were the contrib
utors to the discussion in the classical
division and the general trend of their
papers was an explanation of the val
ues of the various branches of classical
instruction In the secondary schools. *
In the modern language division the
topic ]of the literary appreciation of
foreign languages as they are studied
in the secondary schools was discussed
by J. Henry Senger of the University
at California and A. L. Guerard of
Stanford. . The former emphasized the
necessity of a thorough knowledge of
the* forms and elements of a language
for appreciation and the latter dwelt up
on the difficulties of getting any appre
ciation of the literary merits of writ
j Ings in a foreign language under the
limitations of-a high school course.

CAMORRA POLITICS
ATTACKED IN TRIAL
Detective Describes Influence of
Society at Elections and
With Judiciary
VITERBO, Italy, July 12.—Captain
Fabronl, who. if not the star witness
for the crown in the camorra here, has
at least made the prisoners more un
comfortable than they have been made
at any other period, today went deep
Into the political influence of the ca
morra and mentioned names with a
boldness that caused the judge to cau
tion him to be moderate in his state
ments. The witness replied:,
"I must say all and give an exact
picture of the prevailing atmosphere in
order to strike a deadly blow at this
criminal association."
Fabronl. In the guise of a clerk of
the ministry of justice, devoted years
to learning the alleged connection be
tween the camorra and the Neapolitan
Judiciary. -'/>♦_'% '<."-'■
TOLL PAID TO CAMORRA
Along this line he said in substance:
"The Camorrist has no political
Ideals. He exploits the elections and
the elected for gain. The leaders dis
tribute bands throughout the town and
they have recourse to violence to ob
tain the vote of the electors for the
candidates they have determined to
support. Those who refuse to vote as
Instructed; are beaten, slashed with
knives or kidnaped. All this Is done
with asurance of impunity, as they will
have the protection of successful poli
ticians, who realize that they can not
be chosen to office without paying toll
to the Camorra," :'.-:-
Asked to be more specific, Fabronl
said he had especially In mind former
Deputy Gargyllo and Count Ravas
chleri. C-'X -■.-'•'. ■:,
"The latter,* 'he continued, "in 1904
hired the Camorra, which at that time
surpassed all precedents In co.vuptlon,
abuses and crime. During the election
of Ravaschlerl Enrico. Alfano and Gio
vanni Rapi promenaded, the streets of
Naples, wearing large tricolored ro
settes, and, as masters of the town,
ordered all kinds of lawlessness to ob
tain their object" ;
' "The camorra was then at the zenith
of Its power, but within two factions
were fighting secretly, but ferociously,
for control of the criminal body. V En
rico Alfano. because of recent electoral
successes, was in the ascendancy and
the influence of Gennaro Cuoccolo, who
had been the king receiver of stolen
goods, .was waning. Alfano wished to
establish jan undisputed empire with
Rapi and Ferdinando di Matteo as. his
lieutenants. The murder jof Cuoccolo
was necessary, as he interfered with
the gains .of. others who we're in a
hurry to make a fortune. Alfano
trusted in his Immunity from arrest"
MEMBERS OF BRANCHES
The .detective described special
branches of the Camorra among the
harbor workers In the towns near Na
ples. - There was a branch, he said, at
Castellamare, of which the leaders were
Giuseppe I Chirrico, -Alberto Frauheno,
Pasquale Cargiulo and Ferdinando di
Matteo. All these are among the de
fendants. -
- Chirrico, he said, - received, $30 a
month as a tax |on the camorra, which
was still paid him, although he was a
prisoner. ' Women made monthly .col
lections 'of dues i from I the ' camorrists
for. Chirrico and the other prisoners.
The lawyers- for the "defense at
tempted to create :an ' incident that
would result in Interrupting; the'wit

LETTER FROM SECRETARY
The North American commercial com
pany obtained the lease on the Alaskan
seal Islands In 1890 and continued Its
occupancy'until* 1910. In" support of his
statement that the company always
conducted its affairs in a legitimate
manner Taylor exhibited the following
letter sent to the company by Secretary
Nagel of the department of commerce
and labor January 28, after the expira
tion of the lease:' :
Gentlemen— is acknowl
edged of your communication of the
2*"d Instant, stating that your com
pany, the lessee during the last 20
years of the seal Islands of Alaska,
having closed all Its transactions a*
lessee and finally adjusted its ac
counts with the government, is de
sirous of having | the department
furnish it with a statement relative
to the performance. of all Its obli
gations under the lease for the oc
cupancy of these islands v
Pursuant to your request, the de
partment hereby advises you that
- all rentals, taxes and dues accruing
to the United States by reason of ;
.the" lease above referred to have '
been finally adjusted, and that, so
far as at present appears, your com
pany has. abided -by .and observed
the laws and requirements of con
gress and -the regulations of the :
department in ,the taking of fur
seals, and has performed all cov
enants and agreements under the
said lease. Respectfully,
CHARLES NAGLE, Secretary,
In regard to the charges made by
Elliott, Taylor said: . -.T~-
, "The charges are absolutely without
foundation. During all the years we
occupied the Islands we were under
the constant supervision of agents of
the treasury department, four of whom
always were stationed on the'islands.
Every drive was under their personal
direction and every killing was made
within their view. The . government
always had a complete check upon
every seal killed. As a matter of fact,
the confidential report of a special
agent sent to the' islands to make a
secret investigation j was to the effect
that we were conscientiously and scru
pulously obeying the ' laws - in every
particular." ..;.- -v '
CT. PAUL RULES
V • THE FAVORITE
A careful canvass made of the states
last night Indicated that the 1812 "con
vention of the National -Education", as
sociation would be: held in St. Paul.
Although it appears that St. Paul has
won -; the ; fight against Chicago . and
other,cities of the east, the campaign
will be'vigorously waged until the final
vote has .been i cast this . afternoon.
There was considerable feeling in the
corridors'of the St. Francis hotel last
night when pictures were shown boost
ing the, cause of St, Paul, and the Chi
cago delegation protested to the hotel
management. St. Paul, however, of
fered to share the space with the con
tending.city, but? the Chicago; people
did not avail themselves of .- the i offer.
The hotel management * declined to
deny St. Paul" the* privilege. •
"Among the delegates and visitors at
large the feeling seems to be quite
general that ; St. Paul should have the
next convention. The Chicago interests,
according HpJL the, St,, Paul j people, are
being pushed more by. commercial or

SENATORS REJECT
BAILEY FREE LIST
Amendment to Canadian Reci
procity Agreement Defeated
by Large Majority
Hey burn Opposes Entire Meas
ure as Inimical to SystemV.
■*".* of Protection
?; WASHINGTON; -July 12.—Senator
Bailey's free list amendment to the
Canadian 1 reciprocity bill was defeated
in the senate today by a large majority.
So evident was the margin against it
that Bailey did not ask for a roll call.
, Pursuing, the policy , of forcing the
opponents of reciprocity to proceed
without delay, Penrose urged Bailey". to
Introduce his wool tariff,amendment at
once.' The latter did So and the senate
adjourned with the amendment pend
ing. It is a modification.of.the wool
tariff hill recently passed by the house
and places all duties on raw and man
ufactured wool at a general average of
30 per cent, .;;;'• v. •
The, consideration of the reciprocity
bill is expected to move with .rapidity
from now on. "The wool amendment
probably will be disposed of tomorrow
and La Foliette. and Brlstow are ready
with their amendments and their
speeches against the bill.
, "Semidemoerats." "borrowed' demo
crats" and like terms were applied to
the republican senators supporting the
bill by Heyburn of Idaho in V speech
against the measure. He said that
when the vote on , the bill was taken
all real republicans In the senate would
be opposed to It, while the "semidemo
crats" voted for It, along with.the,"free
simple democrats." He declared that
he opposed amendments to the bill, as
well as the hill Itself, "because every
amendment Is a splinter off the repub
lican flagstaff: of protective policy."
He added that he believed the repub
licans would come together again ul
timately on protective principles.
Asked by Bailey as to how he would
classify the Insurgents, Heyburn said
they, were "mavericks," waiting to be
branded. -
"This Is not the deathbed of the re- !
publican party," said Heyburn. refer
ring to the split In the republican
ranks, "but It will be the deathbed of
many of the men who are supporting
this • reciprocity bill, when the people
realise that it means the pulling down
of the protective system."
Dixon of Montana said that he would
vote for the Bailey amendments to the
reciprocity bill, and "that if the" reci
procity bill passed he would be willing
to ."stay until December and go
through the whole tariff list."
La Follette's Tariff Plan .
WASHINGTON, July' 12.—Senator La
Follette's long promised wool and cot
ton tariff revision amendment to. the
Canadian reciprocity bill, proposing
duty reduction, which he calculates
would save the consumer $169,000,000
annually on cottons and $172,000,000 on
wooleens, will be introduced tomorrow.
In a statement explanatory of the
amendment, and made public, tonight.
La Foliette" said that against this sav
ing to the consumers, which assumes
that the price to 'the consumer would
be reduced to the same extent as the
reduction of duty, the loss of revenue
to the government under the two
schedules would approximate $30,
--000.000. •',* *
"The change for the woolen schedule
as a whole," said La Foliette, "would
represent a reduction from an average
ad valorem of 61.74 per cent under the
present law to 38.24 per cent, or a re
duction of 23% ad valorem and over 38
per cent below the present rate. I The
average ad valorem rate on cotton
goods, including artificial silk, is to be
reduced under the proposed amendment
from 55.59 per cent- under the present
act to 29.45 per cent, representing a re
duction of over 26 1 per cent ad valorem
and over 47 per cent below the present
rate."..' ' '■" " ..' :.".'„',' -'' -v '-'• >■■.■'
■ La Foliette says that the duties pro
posed were still greater than' neces
sary | to protect American maufacturers
from European competition. However,
as this Is a temporary measure he pre
ferred, he says, '"to be on the safe side"
and i make sure ."that no legitimate
American Industry can be Injured by
any of the proposed changes."
