Welcome Any Change Which Might Disturb Others. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. CHICAGO, Aug. 24. — President Roosevelt's action in the matter of spelling aroused considerable discus- sion in Chicago today. > “I'm agalnst it,” said Superintendent of Schools E. G. Cooley. “Whenever I see one of those confounded words on a page it haunts me four or five lines ahead and as many after. It gives me a pain.” “I'm against it. I don't go into any such rot,” sald School Trustee George Duddleston today. “The good English spelling*is good enough for me.” “It's~ a subtle question,” said Dr. Cornelja De Bey, who is also a school trustee. “You see, tne whole point is that the present method of spelling is not reasonable. ® To determine the orthography of word the aural sense instead of the 1 am a poor speller myself and therefore an ad- vocate of any system which would attitude of these compa- ng to the officials of the npany, that caused the Lon- ! ncashire to commence shav- | They declared that these | 3 companies are not paying| .onden and Lancashire in full, and of them, they assert, deny total | ¥. | Hendry alleges that if these five com- | panies would settle with the London and | his company would be pay San Francisco policy- r for dollar CLAIM LARGE SUM DUE.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The capi- tal is discussing little else tonight but the President’'s order directing®the use o# the reformed spelling advocated by the committee appointed by Andrew arnegie. Nearly everybody in the ity is affected. The only exceptions are the Justices of the Supreme Court, | Congressmen and employes of the | legislative branch of the Government. | There are about 300 words in the | list, and every person in the executive branec.a of the Government service must learn the new spelling. Justices of the Supreme Court and Congressmen may spell in any way that seems good to them . There is opportunity for a conflict between the President and the ex- ecutive and judicial branches of the Government. The question immediate- ly arises, Will. the pubdlic printer fol- low the style ordered by the President, or will he “follow copy” sent him Congressmen and Justices of the Su- | préeme Court? The new opder has not been re- | ceived yet, but the public printer ex- | pects to receive it in the morning. He has had several talks with the Presi- dent on the smubject and is personally in sympathy with the scheme. Princeton Professor Takes Stand Against the Reform Dr. Char?es I\—A-c.!—\/[i“an Believes That the Old Spelling Should Be Retained. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. PRINCETON, N. J., Aug. 24.—Pro- fessor Charles McMillan of Princeton University when told of President Roogavelt's plan to adopt the phenetie system of spelligg said: “Why, that alfhost takes my breath away. 1 can hardly belleve it pos- sible. As far as the practical side is concerned you know that we American people do not chapge our methods very easily. It usually takes us some time to accept an extreme such as this. “For my part I do not think it would be of any value, for when we change our words to spell them phonetically we lose their origin. When we do this we will have to begin all over. Surely the English language is com- plicated enough . as it I8 now without making it still worse. I belleve we should by all means retain the old methods of spelling.’ Change Not Radical Enough For Rochester Educator Professor John B, Slater Would Go Further Than the President In His Modifications. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. | ROCEESTER, N. Y., Aug. 24.—Pro- fessor John B. Slater, Ph. D., agsistant professor of English at the University of Rochester, said of the Carnegle- Roosevelt spelling: “The spelling reform taken up by the Brander Matthews committee is all right, but it does not go far énough to be efficient. Reform in spelling must come gradually, but even the few words proposed are not epough to begin with. It is the general opinion, I think, among e4ue‘.ton that spelling reform must come Booner or later. “Prejudice existing against reform is mostly among the instructors in Latin and Greek, who dislike to part with the old forms.

Nephew of “ Pittsbux;g ?hil ” Is Defendant ‘n a Sensational Suit BROKEN PROMISE SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. DENVER, Aug. 24{—James C., Mc- Glll, nephew and heir of “Pittsburg Phil" has been made the defendant in a breach of promise suit filed here by Miss Estella Frances del Poso, whose home is in New York City. The plain- tiff is a beautiful Spanish girl. She avers she lived with McGill as his wife under his promise to make hfl' his bride when George E. Smith (“Pittsburg Phil") died. She says Me- Gill claimed the wedding could not oceur until after his unecle's death, because the latter, who left Me¢- Gill $500,000, stipulated that he must remain a bachelor to get it. Service has been had on McGill, who is at Elk- horn Lodge, Hstes Park, but who has a splendid home here. The principals met in San Francisco In January, 1902. In..ovember, 1904, the plaintiff says she was deserted. “Pitts- burg Phil” died in February a year 2go, and McGill came to Denver from Pittsburg soon thereafter. He owns more automobiles than any other man in Colorado. The plaintiff is about 26 years old. Exposure of the methods of the noted racetrack plunger are prom- ised If the suit is brought to trial. sk el S STREET CARS COLLIDE AND THREE ARE HURT Motorman’s Misunderstanding of Orders Causes Accident on Santa Crus Electric L SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 24.—Two electrie cars of the Union Traction Company came together on a curve opposite the St. James Hotel last night and injured three persons more or less seriously. E. A. Noyes of Marysville, who was on the north bound car with his wife and daughter, was severly cut on the face, and Mrs. Noyes sustained a bruised leg, while a young man named Thomas, from Capitola, . was cut on the fore- head.

Have Ammunition in Plenty, It Is Said. - General Rabi Is Moving Against Insurgents. HAVANA, Aug. 24 — Unofficial ad- vices received from the west- ern part of the province of Pinar del Rio tonight are to the effect that the insurgent forces now concentrating west of San Juan de Martinez are far more formidable than had been supposed, and also are bet- ter supplied for campaigning. A prominent resident of whose word is beyond question, Havana, re- tour in the vicinity of San Luis and San Juan de Martinez. He informed your correspondent that Pino Guerra's following in Pinar @el Rlo now is cer- tainly from 1500 to 2000 men. He sald the idea of his not having sufficient ammunition was ridiculous, and that he {s abundantly supplied with every possible necessity. The behavior of his force is excellent. FLY AMERICAN FLAG. All the tobacco plantations owned by Americans and American properties are flying the American flag, this gentle- man declared, and are not being mo- lested. He said the insurrectionists had eight mules loaded with dynamite, and that lately they had received sup- plies from unknown sources. He posi- tively declared that fully a hundred members of the Rural Guard had de- serted and joined the insurrectionists gince the trouble began and that prac- tically all the Cubans in Western Quba were sympathizers with the movement. turned this evening from a three days'| ~ Than at First Supposed. THE insurgent forces They are well supplied - concentrating west of Sar Juan de Martinez, in Cuba, are far more formidable than had been supposed. for campaigning. Pino Guerra’s forces in Pinar del Rio number from 1500 to 2000. They have abundant ammunition of the most critical situation which has| developed in Cuba since it became a free republic, the attitude of the United States Government is regarded as thor- | oughly mystifying. The most notable feature of the situation here Is the studied indifference which officials pro- fess toward the crisis. This is the more remarkable because before this Cuban events of slight importance com- pared with the present revolution have caused apprehension in the State De- partment. Underlying the professed indifference there are signs of activity in the State and War departments which may have bearing on the possible intervention of the United States under the provision of the Platt amendment. Robert L. Bacon, Assistant Secretary of State, quietly left the department today and it was later said that it was believed he had gone to his home on Long Island. He lives at Westhury, and if he does go there it is likely he will | go also to Oyster Bay. The Cuban sit- yation is the only cloud now visible on the diplomatic horizon which would | seem to require a consultation with the President, who wishes a quiet summer. General J. Franklin Bell, chief of! staff of the army, returned this morn-| ing from his trip to Oyster Bay. Al- though it is insisted that he went there to talk to the President of the situa- tion at Brownsville, Tex., where colored troops have been ill-treated by white | citizens, some persons cannot rid them- | selves of a thought that the situation In | Cuba was also under consideration. | It the President wished to know how quickly a force could be thrown into |Cuba and where it could operate to | best advantage General Bell is the |man he would naturally ask about it. | There has been absolutely no develop- ment in regard to Brownsville as a re- | sult of General Bell's conference with | | the President.

For that reason the proposed new spelling will not be phonetic, but will consist merely in the cuttg of unnecessary letters, as ‘program’ for ‘programme.’ “No great revolution will follow in any event, because at the ontside only between 200 and 300 wirds will be affected. 1 think that the change should be made very gradually.” Proposal Not Looked Upon With Favor by the British English Newspapers Denounce the “Carnegie Jargon” Given Birth in the United States. LONDON, Aug. 25.—President Roose- velt's deecision to adopt the reformed spelling In his messages and dxecutive correspondence is commented on by the newspapers of London this morning in anything but a sympathetic spirit. The Standard bluntly declares that the President overrates his powers, adding that it declines to believe the scholarly and cultivated Americans will sacrifice the history and meaning of the language by adopting the ‘varnegie Jargon.” Other newspapers deal with the mat- ter in a humorous vein. The Dally News points out that if American pub- lishers wish to ikvade the British mar- ket they should be conservative in their orthography. The Chronicle, which ‘has more sympathy with some of the changes, says: / “Whether we like the new tpelling or nat it probably will be farced upon us, because the United States iz com- ing more and more into control of the printing presses of the glish-speak- ing world.

Thils, however, is not confirmed. The Government's extra expense since August 19 has been $270,000. The critics of the Government pri- vately ridicule its plans to bring rapid- fire guns to the island, asserting that the experiences of the Spaniards with these guns in Cuba proved their use- lessness in the fleld. They admit, however, their value for the protec- tion of cities and highways. SENDS TO TEXAS FOR HORSES. The Government, it is understood, has sent to Texas to buy 2000 horses for the army. It has already bought 500 horses here. The Government has cabled to Gen- | eral Rius Rivera, Minister to Central and South American countries, to re- turn immediately to Cuba. General Jose Miguel Gomez, at his formal arralgnment today, denied the allegation that he had engaged in a conspiracy against the Government. ‘There is no foundation in fact for the rumor in circulation tonight that the Government has begun negoti- ations with Pino Guerra. More troops will be forwarded to the western districts tomorrow.

There thas been no interrup- tion of railroad communication by in- surgents. FEAR GUERRA'S STRENGTH. There is grave doubt whether the force of Government troops now at San Juan de Martinez ‘will be able to withstand an attack by the forces of Pino Guerra. Aside from slight encounters in the provinces of Havana and Santa Clara, nothing of importance has transpired there today. The enlistment of rural guards and volunteers is going on very slowly in the provinces, but in the city of Havan enlistments are some- what better.
