DELEGATES LEAVE
FRISCO FOR HOMES
San Francisco, Cal., July 14. Dele
gates to ihe annual convention of the
National Education association today
held their last regular meeting and
tomorrow they will all be on their way
to their homes or summer resorts,
where they will spend the remainder
of their vacations. The exodus of the
7000 began in a mild way today, when
members of those special sections which
had completed- their work took their
departure.
At the departmental meetings today,
there "were several addresses of inter
est. Some of the most interesting were
"Growing Children." by Cyril A. Steb
bins, Instructor in agricultural educa
tion at the University or California;
"Art as a Cultivator of the Imagination.'
by May Gerbart, supervisor of drawing
in the schools of L.os Angeles, Cal.;
"How to prevent Backwardness and
Mental Deficiency in Children," by Hen
ry H. Goddard, director of the New
Jersey School for the Feeble-Minded ;
""What Constitutes a Subnormal Child,"
by Vlnnie C. Heeks, special psycholo
gist of Oakland, CaL, schools, and "The
Kindergarten of the Future," by Dr.
Frank E. Parlin, superintendent of
schools of Cambridge, Mass..
Dr. Parlin's remarks drew forth great
approval in the discussion by the dele
gates of "the section on kindergarten
educationt-He declared the present type
of kindergartens is more harmful than
beneficial to the child, when compared
tovwhat should be done, Dr. Parlin ad
vocated outofdoor kindergartens and a
larger policy in their administration,
giving to the children a greater oppor
tunity to exercise their individuality
and inventiveness.
Kindergarten Systesi "Wrong1.
"Although a friend of the kinder
garten," he said, 'T believe the orthodox
type Is neither sacred nor perfect, that
the position of the conservative kinder
gartners is unwise and "untenable, that
they emphasize the most defective parts
of Froebel's system and neglect his
most valuable principles.
"The brain of the child at the kin
dergarten age is r-eady for sensbry, mo
tor, and language training only.
"The kindergarten of the future "Will
he true to Its name, a garden of chil
dren, vwlll generally be out of-doors, in
the sunlight and ope.n air, among the
trees and flowers, and associated with
birds and animals, providing healthful
conditions for the bodVj appropriate
food for the senses, aoundant exercise
for the muscle, ample scotfe for the
Imagination, and unfailing topics for
conversation. The healthy growth of
the child will be the prime considera
tion, large lungs, good digestion, a
strong heart, and steady nerves out
ranking peg-sticking and a meager
knowledge of sphere, cylinder and cube.
Real Play of Value.
"It will recognize the sifpreme value
of all kinds of real play,' which call
into well timed and well measured ac
tion both mind and body.
"It will give much attention to oral
language, ea'ch child naving frequent
opportunity to tell his -stories and to
ask questions.
"There, will be wise supervision, hut
little of that direction which robs the
child of original thought and Inde
pendent action; more Individual effort,
less uniformity and concert work; more
appeal to the sensibility, less training
of the Intellect; more natural growth
and development less precocity and .self
consciousness. It will "be more of a
nursery, less of a school. It will stand
for the rights of the child; the right to
be a child, to think as a child, to speak
as "t-a child; the right to un
derstand as a child, In order that
when he becomes a man, he may put
away childish things and be as much
of a man as possible."
St. Panl Is Selected.
Carroll Gardner Pearse, superintend
ent of schols of Milwaukee, was elected
president. "With him were elected all
candidates on the insurgent slate, of
which he was the head. The insurgents

Defence Asks Longer Time
But Court Thinks Date a
Compromise.
PROSECUTION SAYS
READY AT ANYTIME
Los Angeles, Cal., July 14. John J.
McNamara, the! labor leader, and his
brother, James B., will be brought, to,
trial October 10 on the first of the19
murder indictments found as a result
t r
of the explosion which wrecked the
Times newspaper building In October
of last year.
The date was set today by judge
"Walter Bordwell of the superior court
as a compromise between the contend
ing claims of .the defence and prosecu
tion.. The defence wanted the case de
layed until next Decerauer, while the
prosecution insisted upon trial not
later thanAugust 1.
Prosecution; Ready.
As soon as the case'. was called John
T. Fredericks, district attorney, an
nounced that the prosecution Tas ready
to go to trial at any time.
Joseph Scott, for the defence, argued
in favor of setting the , trial for not
earlier than December 1. He referred
to the case as one of peculiarities,
called attention to the fact that the
transcript of evidence taken before the J
grand jury filled 2300 pages and said
that aside from the alleged .information
of Ortie McManigal, the defence had
only remote Ideas relative to the evi
dence the prosecution intended to ad
duce. He said he knew of no reason,
judging from the transcript for the
Krst indictment against John J. Mc
Namara and then declared that the
"procedure followed in bringing the
accused brothers to Los Angeles was
a disgrace to tjie court."
Rebuke From Court.
That brought forth a protest from
the prosecution and a rebuke from the
court. "There. Is no reason for your
making that remark, Mr. Scott," said
judge. Bordwell. I am sorry you made
it" v
Scott then said that the prosecutibn
had taken days and weeks to obtain
the views of experts1 on the explosion
at the Times plantwhere 19 person
lost their lives. He said the defence
wished to make scientific investigation
and urged that the trial be not set ue?
fore December 1. Fredericks said the
prosecution wished to be as fair as was
consistent with the duty but thought
the best time for the trial was about
September 1.
ParroTT Asks Time.
Clarence S. Darrow, for the defence,
said? the grand jury deliberated seven
months before the indictments were re
turned and declared it his belief that
the defence, in view of the large quan
tity of evidence it wished to produce
and the distance from the defendants
home, sjiould have a longer period of
time In which to prepare. He said he
would agree, however, to November 1.
Judge Bordwell stated that he. must
consider both sides, set October 10, and I
It was agreed the first case to be tried and rendered destitute in the fire de
would be that in which the McNamaras Tastated Porcupine district, where the
Reeves, a Times stenographer, who met '
death in the explqslon. There was some
discussion as to whether the brou:ei
would be tried together or singly.
Followine- the settine of th. "MV;i-
niara trial date It was said by the dls- 1
trict attorney that some action would
be taken late today on the contempt
proceedings against Mrs. McManigal,
who recently declined to answer ques
tions asked her by the grand jury.
THIRTY INJURED

persons were wounded last night during
encounters between the strikers and
civil guards In the streets of the city.
The strikers armed with revolvers at
tacked the police from different
quarters and the city was thrown Into
a state of terror.
The shops this -morning are closed,
and no newspapers appeared on the
streets. A state of siege probably will
be proclaimed.
Just a Tale of a-"Hot
Dog"&nd a Hungry Cart
Thursday afternoon a hungry cur
-was trotting down San Francisco
street in his daily search for "eats.1' He
looked as if some one had cruelly
shouted "square meal' at him, and he
had neyer recovered. However, as he.
journeyed on, he chanced to pass a
hamburger joint, and the delightful
aroma from the frying "hot dog"
sausages on the skillet beckoned the
hungry pup, so he 'proceeded to investi
gate the source. He walked nervously
up to the stand with the worn air of a
"weary "Willie" and touchingly placed
his paws on the counter from which
the German delicacies are dispensed,
gave the sputtering meats an appetiz
ing look, and wasted no time in taking
unto himself a hot square meal.
The dog was, gone before the bpss
was aware of the act of vandalism, J
and he was rolling up his sleeves to
climb the guilty robber, when he saw
the pup' running down the street lick
ing his oily chops with renewed vigor.
The dog paid no attention to the plain
tive whistle of the sausage owner, but
kept his eet in the well beaten path,
and was soon out of sight.
The Herald will issue for street
sale at 5:30 Daily an Extra Edi
tion containing the returns from
all the big league games.

dence about "jack pots" or general cor
ruption funds for the benefit o recal
citrant legislators was sought today
from Gov. Deneen of Illinois, when h
resumed the witness stand before th
senator Lorimer committee.
JThe governor entered into an analysis
of the Hlinois legislature with a view
of demonstrating the existence of a. fer
tile field there for corruption. After a
discussion qf the legislature organiza
tion. Gov. Deneen was turned over for
cross-examination to Elbridge Hancey
counsel for " senator Lrorimer. Mr.
Hancey first sought fo show that sena

the witness testified,., he procured, in
salary and fees in .the eight years of

A Iongfline of questions about th

also evoked protest by senator Tones
that the testimony was immaterial. Mr.
Hancey Inferred that Gov. Deneen had

laws as a reform measure in, the face
ofthe opposition of others, and yet the
governor had continued to yield power
in making slates in caucus and confer
ence. . v- ,
Attorney Hancey soughtr to show thai

Governor Deneen denied this, al
though he. supported speaker Shurtleff
for head bf'the house In 190?.
"The speaker's nonularity which led?
I to his receiving 60. Democratic votes Ix
1909." said the governor. was hecaue
he "had agreed to an investigation at
state Institutions to get campaign ma
terial against me, and other reasons."
Mr. Hancey wanted to know if his
popularity arid his Democratic support
were not because speaker Sntrrtleff was
regarded by Democrats and all others
as the fairest speaker for years.
"I don't want to make any Invidious
comparisons," replied governor Deneen.
