CARNEGIE FOUNDATION COMMIT
TEE SAYS STATE CANNOT
AFFORD UNIVERSITY.
OUrPICA1ONN PREVAILS
Investigators Advis. Withdrawal of
Subsidies Prom Institutions of Pri
vate Nature and Uurge That Aid Be
Extended to the Public Schools,
Which Need Funds Greatly.
New York, Feb. 14.-The first criti
cal investigation of all the educational
facilities of any state in the union
has just been completed by the Car
negie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching. The state selected
was Vermont, and the work was un
dertaken at the request of a commit
tee bf the state legislature, which de
sired to examine and improve its en
tire educational syytem.
A summary of the foundation's re
port was made public today. One of
the recommendaions is the transfer
to' the public schools of the money
that the state inow gives to colleges.
The University of Vermont, Middle
bury college and Norwich university,
no one of Which is owned or con
trolled by the state, have recently re
ceived itcrea ;il.g state aid, a total of
$20,000 a year in 1909; $50,000 in 1911,
and $100,000 in 1913. The report rec
ommends the withdrawal of these sub
sidies because Vermont cannot afford
a regular state university; because it
is unwise to give public money and
public prestige to private corpora
tions; because th'e colleges have pot
used their subsidies wisely, and be
cause they got along very well be
fore they were given state aid and it
is evident that they will be cared for
through private benevolence .
Neglected Agriculture.
The report says that the Univer
sity of Vermont neglected agriculture
ahd used its appropriation for a medi
cal school that can never be successful
with the small amount of clinical ma
terial that is available in Burlington. a
Norwich university used its appropria
tion for engineering in a location and
with an equipment far inferior to
those of the University of Vermont,
Middlebury college also used its ap
propriation for subjects already pro
vided by the other institutions and for
a department for training high school
teachers, of which the state has an
oversupply. The effort to gain these
subsidies from the legislature, more
over, according to the report, involved
the institutions in an unfortunate
educational and financial rivalry.
The public schools, on the other
hapd, need money. They provide the
entire education of more than nine
teniths of the children in the state.
Half of the teachers, however, have
had no professional training and are
paid only nine dollars a week or less.
The report recommends that the state
spend on the common schools bwhat
it now gives the colleges and as much
more eas it can afford, giving the
teachers better training and better
salaries; providing them with more
aid and guidance through better sup
ervision and a mq.e helpful state ad
ninistratidn. It is recommended
that the dozen training classes for
teachers that were established in the
high schools in 1910 be multiplied, so
that every new teacher in the state
shall be a high school graduate with
professional training. These classes
graduated more than a hundred such
teachers last year, and soon will be
able to supply the entire 400 that the
state needs annually. The two state
normal schools, the abandonment of
which is recommended, have proveded
less than a dozen such teachers each
year.
Reforms RePommended.
It is further recommended that the
teachers, together with a new state
cotnmissioner of education, several
deputy, commissioners and a number
of supervisors, gradually work out a
new program of studies for the schools

RIGHT OF COUNCIL
TO LOWER RATES
IS DENIED
ATTORNEY GENERAL KELLY
HOLDS THAT ALDERMEN
EXCEEDED AUTHORITY.
Helena, Feb. 14.-(Special.)-The a
action of the city council of Helena in a
passing an ordinance reducing water
rates .25 per cent, Is null and void, be- r
cause the public utilities commission
has not concurred in the action. e
Attorney General D. H. Kelly to
day advised the commission, "that the
ordinance stbmitted by you is invalid,
and one which is beyond the power
of a city council to pass, without the a
concurrence of the commission, since c
the passage and approval of chapter
52 of the session laws of the thirteenth
legislative assembly."
Mr. Kelly holds that the public
utilities commission brings municipal
ities dealing in utilites within its pow
er, the same as private companies are r
brought; that no changes in the
schedule of rates charged can be made
without 20 days' previous notice to the
commission, and that no advance or
reductions shall be made without the
concurrence of the commission.
In another opinion to the commis
sion Mr. Kelly holds that contracts
with hotel runners to ride on passen
ger trains between certain points so
liciting business, are illegal and in
valid, but that such contracts with
transfer agents are legal and valid.
CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED.
Forsyth, Mont., Feb. 14.-John H.
Burgess will be tried in Miles City
on the charge of murdering Sheriff
William Moses at Rosebud, Mont., in
January last, the change of venue
asked for being granted. Nearly 200
atffidavits were presented to the court
by attorneys for the prosecution and
defense as to the sentiment in Cus
ter county. The attorneys agreed that
it was beat not to try the case in Rose
bud county and the prosecution desired
the case tried in Yellowstone while
the defense desired it tried in Custer.
NEW POSTMISTRESS.
Washington, Feb. 14.-(Special.)
Alice M. Hall was today appointed
postmistress at Alice, Dawson county.
BEAR'S BONES FOUND
MAY MEAN A TRAGEDY
Al Helena, Feb. 14.-(Special.)-WVord
reached Helena today of the finding
h on Jackson creek, 10 miles south of
Helena, in the mountains, of the
b skeleton of a bear with a bullet hole
through its head, nearby the skeleton

h A prospector named Pierce was the

FADS AND FOIBLES
AT WINTER DINNER.
Guests of Gridiron Club Are Entertained With "Quips and
Jests and Wanton Wiles" Based on Administration
Policies and On Some Political Hopes.
Washington, Feb. 14.-Saint Valen
tine was the patron of the Gridiron
club at its mid-winter dinner tonight
and in witty verse in delicate strain
and in laughter-provoking caricatures
sketched by famous cartoonists, were
the pet vanities and foibles of the
many distinguished guests disclosed
for mutual edification. The range of
entertainment provided was wide, and
at one time or another the diners were
transported to Santo Domingo and
Mexico; made interested spectators of
picturesque inauguration ceremonies
and admitted to the secrets of the war
on trusts. The favorite policies of the
new administration were exhibited in
such garb as to startle at times the r
authors who were present in person. T
A cabaret show comprised a scene t
of jollity and care-free gayety, as pre- I
sented by the "Band of hope," the c
most optimistic crowd of hopers ever I
gotten together, and introducing per- r
formers of world-wide fame, including I
Huerta, Uncle Joe, The Colonel, I
Charles Murphy, Miss Democracy, Mrs.
Grundy, Dame Chance and Suffra
gette. Here the musical talent of the
club found full opportunity as the
various characters entered the show.
Murphy's Woes.
To the air of "Curse of an Aching
Heart," Chief Murphy poured oft his
woes as follows:
"They made me think I was a Big
Chief,
And I believed them, too.
They told me things to swell my pride
And made me think them true;
I played the game of politics,
I hacked my man and lost,
And now I am a derelict,
Alone I pay the cost."
The Colonel.
The Colonel also appealed to the
sympathies of the band by a plaintive
appeal in song to the air of "Take Me
Back:"
"Take me back to your ranks once
again, boys,
Once again let me run the big show.
Take me back and you never will lose
me,
For I am a winner, you know;
I am tired of living outside the ram
parts,
You need ME just as I've need of
you,
I need you, I want you, I need you,
Take me back and I'll always be
true."
Mrs. Grundy identified some of the
"watchful waiters." There was Albert
Jeremiah Beveridge "waiting for the
people to appreciate true statesman
ship." And John Lind, "the original
watchful waiter" who never gets tired
of his job, though "some other people
do." Asked whether Lind was a visitor
in Mexico, Huerta replied: "Visitor?
He's a regular boarder."
Uncle Joe-What is he doing down
there?
Huerta-Me; I guess.
Uncle Joe--Are you nearing the end
of your resources?
Huerta-Not a bit of it. The print
ing presses are working overtime and
the output of government bonds ii
good.
And then he burst into song to the
air of "ge Rambles:"
"A year 've been prealdent down In
16·oo,
But now an inti~tion comes that I1
will have to i.
A kind friend on the north has stimu- I
lated this deman4,
Until I'm forced to think at last I1t
will soon be canned.
"Oh, then I will ramble, ramble,
I'll ramble all arotfid,
Till Safety I've found.
Oh, then I will ramble, ramble,
I'll ramble, but not on my native I
ground."
The Anti-Trust Plans.
In thrilling melodrama was told the
story of the anti-trupt plans of the ad
ministration, concluQlng with an im
pressive tableaux of the formal signa
ture of the Constitution of Peace, put
ting to the test of merriment the poli
cies and prospects "of the dominantf'
party. "Trusting the Trusts" was the
name of this melodrama and the pur
pose was disclosed in eloquent pro
logue:
"IHere then tonight we'll strive to make
most clear,
That busting trusts may go with
kindly feeling.
That sentiment and all that gives
good-cheer,
Are not apart from what once
a seemed raw-dealing.
From busting trusts we return to trust
the trusts,
g Thus runs the new Wilsonian dis
pensation:
A trust that's trusted; it no longer
e O busts,
Or In its heart can shelter that soen
sation."'
The plot opened with Father Trust
and Daughter Industry in hiding.
Trust is startled at the likeness of In
dustry to her dead slste', "Infant In
dustry," who was so beautiful that
O "her face looked like 85 per cent ad
e valorem."
e Industry-What happened to her?
Trust-The democratic acid throw
e era got her.
Industry-Did they get you, too?

NEW YORK SUFFERS
IN A STRENUOUS
BLIZZARD
STORM RIVALLING THAT OF 1888
HOLDS THE WHOLE STATE
IN ITS GRASP.
New York. Feb. 14.-A snowstorm
said to rival in severity the great
storm of 1888 raged to the acnompant- p
Inent of zero weather in tho tipper
Hudson valley, the Mohawk valley
and the northern and western parts
of the state all day long, tieing ilp
many of the smaller railroad atnd
trolley lines, and paralyzing com-,
mnunication generally. All malls
were delayed.
Late today the fall of snow ceased
in, many districts, only to be followed
by a return to the zero weather and
high winds which have held the state
in their grip for the last four days.
Four deaths were caused in this city
by the storm. and the total fatalities
due to the recent cold spell and
stormy conditions numbered 17 to
night.
While the snowfall in the metropo
lis was only 10 inches and at other
points in tlhe lower Itudson valley as
low as 12 inches, districts in the up- p
per valley reported a fall of 24
inches. At Albany the blanket was
14 inches In thickness and from
points north and west of that city
phenomenal falls for those sections
were repotted, the snow ranging fromll
24 to 36 i1nches in depth.
Reports fro inmost of those points
tonight said that a further (decded
drop in temperature had taken place
and that at biting wind reaching a ve
locity of 70 mliles aln hour in somen'
places, was adding to the discomfort
and suffering. The southern tier
of counties were affected by the
storm as well as the mlore northerly
districts.
