Strikes of Chicago School Children Must Cease. Chicago, May 17.—Strikes of school children who have quit their desks by hundreds in sympathy with the team- sters’ strike are to Dbe dealt with sternly, according to President Clay- ton Mark of the Chicago board of edu- cation. The children’s strikes have followed the use of nonunion teamsters by boycotted firms in delivering coal at the public schools. It is alleged that in many cases the parents rather than the children are responsible for the strike. Arrest and prosecution is threat- ened by the board of education as pun- ishment for parents who permit chil- dren to go on strike in schools. Many inspectors are to be placed at the dis- posal of Superintendent of Compulsory Education Bodine to report cases where parents have v: # ed the law. After a conference wita Bodine offi- clals of the board issued this state- ment: *“The law requires parents to keep their children at school. It also re- quires the children to attend school and obey the rules thereof. The law will be strictly and promptly enforced against the parents for failure to send their children to school and against children for failure to attend and obey the rules of the school.” The strike of school children as- sumed larger proportions during the day, when 5,000 pupils of the Graham school refused to enter the building. According to school officials no “un- fair” coal has been delivered at the Graham school. The authorities de- clared that there was no apparent rea- son for the strike. Pupils of the Fallon public school went on strike when two loads of coal from the Peabody Coal company were delivered al the building. The pupils stood at a distance from the nonunion teamsters and jeered at them. Sev- eral policemen were sent to the school to maintain order. SAYS NAN PATTERSON LIED. Opinion of Trial Judge in Celebratéd Murder Case. New York, May 17.—Justice Vernon M. Davis of the state supreme court, who was the guest of honor at a din- ner of the Phi Delta Phi club, an or- ganization of lawyers, defended the conduct of Assistant District Attorney Rand in the Nan Patterson trial. Justice Davls, who presided at the first two trials of the former chorus girl, said that she lied from beginning to end and it was his opinion that the majority of the community now be- lieved that Miss Patterson held the pisto] by which Young was shot and that J. Morgan Smith bought the weapon and gave it to her, charging her at the time with the duty of “scar- ing” Young. Justice Davis sald he thought Miss Patterson showed the revolver 1o Young to_scare him and that when Young tried to take it away from her it, was accidentally discharged. He said he believed that if Miss Patterson had told the truth the second jury would have acquitted her. .WOMAN IS HOTEL THIEF. Convicted of Robbing Duluth Hostelry of Cash and Jewelry.
