They became friendly and Legge took a room in Brighton, where they used to meét. “After awhile,” said Sir Ellis, “the girl informed him of her con- dition, and consequently they were married secretly at Brighton.” Almost immediately after that General Legge had to return to his duties in Africa, where he remained until 1902. When he returned he went to Morley’s hotel in London, and telegraphed his wife to mect him ,there. “Even at that time, she began a series of scenes which has marked this unhappy life, she appears to be a woman of uncontrollable tem- per and nervous disposition,” con- tinues Sir Elis. “Throughout their married life, she has been in the habit of scream- ing and having seizures of temper.

James Thomas, Methodist, sprang to his feet and engaged in a heated alter- cation with the prohibition, commis- sioner here today. The open break came during an address Haines was delivering be- fore a sectional conference of ministers held in conjunction with the Christian citizenship conference in progress here. “I have seen no finer evidence of harmony and co-operation anywhere in the enforcement of the prohibi tion law than that which exists be. tween the federal and the state, county and city officers of Denver and Color “Color: do,” Haines had said. Jo state officers have abso- lutely no confidence in federal pro- hibition officers and will not K with them,” the Rey.

Mrs. Legge was in the habit of walking about the house, dressed only in a thin night dress, but occasionally with a fur coat over it. “Mrs. Legge was in the habit of undressing before Landolf and at one time suggested that her young daughter should do the same. On occasions the child was made to sleep in the bedroom in which her mother and Landolf also slept.” Mrs. Legge, however, appeared to vary her indiscretions with free fights with the German-Swiss. nm more than one occasion, she had a free fight with him in the area of the hotel,”. Sir Ellis said, “she attired in a night dress and he in trousers and shirt.” One morning the son Leslie, who was at Eton, went into Mrs, Le bedroom and found his mother and Landolf in bed asleep. Mrs. Legge apologized to the boy and assured him there was nothing “wrong.” The jury granted the general a divorce, finding his wife guilty of misconduct with Landolf, and awarded him custody of the chil- dren, except the oldest son.

Pritchett, president of the Carnegie Founda- tion with providing the “enemies of the public schools” wtih their am- munition. Fear of high taxes is the reason for the opposition, Crabtree de- clared. The last report of the Carnegie Foundation, prepared by Pritchett, gives a powerful weapon to the op- ponents of the public schools by de- ploring the cost of maintaining the system, Crabtree said. “The report expresses amaze ment at the expansion of the pub- Ue school program,” Crabtree said. ‘It sounds alarm over the increased high school enrollment. It contends that the eguntry cannot afford to e Pritchett was educated in private schools and never had any active gonnection with the public school system, Crabtree said. “We must stand adamant against the doctrine of the men of the type of Dr. Pritchett, who would lmit educational opportunity to the few and whg would pay the debt of the war by discounting the educational privileges of American boys girl: Nicholas Murray Butler, whose life record is more or !ess similar to that of Dr. Pritchett, is also widely quoted to discredit the work of the public schools.
