NO Ml. THEN What Council Says to Illinois Street. NO WEST MAIN ACTION Change In Double Track Ordinance Not Expected. As long as property owners around the territory at Illinois and Bast Main street, that district which Ig submerged each spring, want to go without sew- erae, they will also probably have to go without any sidewalks. This seemed to be the Idea of the city council Monday morning.

Recently, a walk was ordinanced on the North side of East Main from Illinois west to the present walk. This ordinance came up for final passage this morning. WHAT DINNEHK? SATS. "There has been a complaint made to me (his walk," said Mayor Din- necn. "by the man who has to put It in.

He is complaining about building the the walk so much as the fact that the walk won't be of any use with no sewer. Every year, just when that walk is really needed, the water stands over It, deep enough for a boat to pass over, and In dry weather the walk isn't needed. Sort of like the Arkansas traveler and the shingles on his house. 1 DELAYED ACTION. The others of the council entertained about the same opinion but instead of voting the ordinance for the walk down, as the mayor suggested, simply delayed action on it another week mill the members could investigate the matter more fully.

MAY CUT OFF SERVICE. Commissioner Ruthrauff brought to the council's attention, the fact that on petition of T. C. Buxtoil, one year itgo. the city had permitted the extension of water service outside of the city into a territory known as lots 1 to 15, block 1, Snell and Lafferty addition In Riverside.

This was granted on promise to nrlng that section into the city as soon as possible. It has never yet been brought in and the council will notify the people that unless they file a petition by Sept. 30 for annexation at the next special election, the water service will be cut- off. The board of local improvements recommended that the final payment be mode by the city to Contractor Tuttle for the North Morgan street pavement. The pavement has been completed and accepted.

The total cost was about J8.905. NO ACTION WEST MAI.V. The petition of the Decatur Railway and Light company through its attorney, C. C. Leforgee, asking for some changes In the proposed double track ordinance, was received and filed with no further action, which practically means no changes will be made.

NEW WALK. The ordinance for the twelve foot concrete walk to be built on the West side of State street from Enst Main north to the present stone walk, was passed. The payroll of the street department last week was 1342.10 and of the water department, $203.95. MAYOR ISSUES A PROCLAMATION of Colored People to Grant Holiday.

Representatives of the three fraternities Involved In the published charges that a combine or "trust" had been formed to elect a member of a certain Mrlllkin fraternity captain of the football team for the season of 1913 have carefully investigated the charges and have made a statement to The He- view denying them. The statement comes from official representatives of the three fraternities. It follows: WHAT THEY SAY. 'We, the members of the undersigned committee, have carefully and to the best of our ability investigated the charges which have been published to the effect that a political deal was entered into by three fraternities at Millikln for the election of a football captain for tlie beason of 1913. We have found that these statements are false.

We have found that there was absolutely no deal entered into by any cf the fraternity men who have a vote the election for football captain to elect any one man and we know that the election will come off on a fair and I square basis. "We wish to state for the benefit of the general public that the policies of the fraternities Is to for the man In every case who is most deserving of the place." (Signed.) A. STARKEY, S. A. E.

HOOVER THE MAN. The charges were to tne effect that the two other fraternities had combined against Hoover, the Kappa Delta Chi candidate. Hoover Is the man to whom the honois riglitly belong. He, is an oltier player in point of service than the other candidate and will In all probability be elected. Each of the two fraternities have six men entitled to vote in tlie election.

The third fraternity has one man. The charges were that tills one man, who hud the balance of power had promised to vote against Hoover, for which he was to receive the captaincy or designate the man who was to receive it the next ear.

There Is more than ordinary interest In the school because It It expected to have national prominence. T.he weather, the fine, large class ot young hopefuls, the background of enthusiastic mothers, the staff of Inspiring helpers, all combined to make It as happy a beginning as any new school could wish. That the fates conspired to start the movement well Is evident In that this morning was chosen as the beginning; Instead of last Monday morning. FJFTT-FIVE PUPILS. Fifty-five pupils were present this morning.

They kept coming until the first exercise was nearly finished and additional chairs had to be recruited to seat them. There were perhaps thirty mothers present, most of them with children In the class and some who were curious to know what the new school Is. Including; Mrs. Hughey and Mrs. Price there were an even dozen teachers and.

LOCATION OP SCHOOL. The color school is located in the basement of the Millikln Conservatory and the entire basement has been assigned to It. The rooms are well lighted, well ventilated and cheerful. The room chosen as the assembly room this morning is in the southeast corner where the sun was breaking in through the windows, making It an unusually cheery place. The room was seated with small chairs arid there was a row of larger ones at the back for visitors.

At the front of the room were a piano and a pivoted blackboard. There were more visitors than chairs and they crowded the doorways and were more or less in the way. Of course the visitors, especially the mothers, were necessary to the opening session of a school of this kind. MARCHED IN. The children were assembled in another room where their wraps were removed.

Precisely at 9 o'clock they were m.irchc'd intu the assembly room to the air of "Old Black Joe." Naturally there was not much order in the marching, although with teachers scatteiod through the ranks, King- Ing the Improvised words they kept creditably. LOOKED LIKE A PUZZLE. The beginning Is always difficult and to the spectators the task seemed hopeless. There were nearly sixty little folks varying in age from less than two to more than five. A half dozen of them, perhaps, had been in kindergarten a little.

Many of them were lost the moment they were away from their mothers' knee. Many had not the slightest notion of why they were there. To bring order out 01. the chaos of these assorted youngsters looked mpossible. MRS.

HUGHEY'S BEGINNING. Mrs. Hughey seated serself before them and began to talk. She has a voice hlch charms the adult or the child. She began by mentioning the beautiful morning.

"How many of them told your papa 'good morning' when you woke up this morning. Hold up your hands and let me see how many Most of them held up their hands, some of them no doubt, not knowing Thy. "How many of you told your mamma good morning?" Again there was a showing ot hands. She now had the attention of three-fourths or more ot them. THE RED B1KD.

Then Mrs. Hughey talked to them about birds and she showed them a picture of a brilliant red bird and another of a brown one. She asked which bird they liked the best and ot course it was the red one. Then she told them the story ot the red bird, how it came from music land, the home of the mtisic farles. She told them that it had been left there a pure white bird that had flown through rainbow land and chosen the color red.

Miss Requarth drew a picture of the white bird on the board but their attention was centered on the red bird. The red bird has a name, she said, the name is "doh." The assistant at the piano struck the note, middle She asked them to sing the name ot the bird. The assistants and the piano maintained the pitch and they sang the bird's name, "doh." Some of the little ones were a bit off key. They sang It again and again until tl.ey were singing It well In unison, they sang it with a prolonged note, holding It as long as they had breath. TWO FUNDAMENTALS.

This exercise did ot last long, but the two fundamental principles of the color scheme had been Introduced, the natural color note of chlldhodd, which is vermilllon red, and the natural music note, which Is middle the tone midway between the base and treble elf. There was no dismissal at the end of the exercise but the children marched through the doorway, down the hall and Into the large playroom where successive games were played, as drop the handkerchief, hide the handkerchief ryhmic exercises, Including marches and hind and arm It was astonishing how quickly the children entered into the spirit of the thing They were for the most part strange to each other and were eTMTM 1 strange to things they were asked to Two little playmates, a boy an ad a girl, stopped. In the midst of a rythmic circle to kiss. Another little two year old was overcome with grief and hid her face In her mother's skirts while she wept but this did not mar the games and she will be a part of them tomorrow. ALWAYS COLOR AND NOTE.

The bis group In the large play room was soon broken Into smaller groups which were taken to other rooms. The games anad exercises were continued. Always the movements were to music and always tbe basic music ton waa middle Always too, basic col.n vermilllon red, appeared. handkerchief dropped or Idden was that color. Three-fourths of the chlldrsn un- premedltately, wore It In hair ribbons ties or elsewhere.

Attention was demanded In the rhythmic concentration was required In th games, and ordVt was everywhere two things were being fixed haul and fast, the basic tone and basic color This basic tone is always played In pitch and the pianos used In the various rooms are In absolute unison There will be no mistaking that lorn: when the foundation of the color muKl" training Is laid. ACTIVITY. Each of four different w.i* scene of activity nnd It was Impothlbli- for one person to keep up with them all. Each room was the scene or different kind of activity though they all tended toward the same end, nt. tention, ronrenlratlon, the a a color note and the a a muni-- note.

In one small room four children sprawled uj a rug were bending their energies toward things of Materials them.
