THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. WEDNESDAY. JULY 17. HUERTA FAMILY WILL GO TO EL PASO A.

Z. Ratner, Ex-Dictator'sFriend, Says Start May Be Made Tomorrow. BUT CHEF DOUBTS STORY. Says Forest Hills Will Not Be De. serted -El Paso Friendly to Huertas.

In obedience to an order from General Victoriana Huerto, former president of Mexico, now under arrest in El Paso, Texas, the entire family, consisting of fifteen members, with servants, is expected to leave Texas City either tomortheir, row or Friday evening. The house at Forest Hills, it stated, will and the original plan to poutiven colony in the pretty Brooklyn suburb is abandoned, according to Huerta's friend. Abraham Z. Ratner. The party will travel to Chicago over the Lake Shore Limited, which leaves at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

From Chicago they will journey by way of the Rock Island. Although several former officers of the Mexican army, who served under General Huerta, will be in the company, none apparently fears molestation by the United States authorities at El Paso. Mrs. Huerta will be escorted by her five brothers, two sons and one sonin-law. Two sisters of the captive General will also be in the company.

Jorges Huerta, another son of the former Mexican dictator, and a colonel on the staff of his father. will take Mrs. Huerta and their two children with them. Victor Huerta, who recently arrived from Cadiz, Spain, is the most active member of the company. To him will be assigned the general direction of its movements.

Although Mr. Ratner said he was certain that the programme AS outlined had been a arranged, the family chef--the only one in the household who speaks English--declared that General Huerta would return in three weeks and that the house would be retained beyond September, the time when the original lease expires. The chief, however, admitted that he wasn't taken fully into General Huerta's confidence. Mr. Ratner said he knew the was going, because to him had family assigned the task of arranging for transportation and other little cial detailmily is going to El Paso in obedience to a summons from General Huerta," said Mr.

Ratner today. "This summons was conveyed by telegraph two days ago. Naturally, little was left for them to get ready, but that the command of the general will be obeyed there is not the slightest doubt. I have not had any direct communication with the general for ten days and don't know how he is faring in Texas, but I am acting for Mrs. Huerta." Mr.

Ratner said it had been the intention of General Huerta to found a colony in Forest Hills and options were taken considerable property in that section, but certain things have transpired recently, ne declared, to make such a settlement impracticable. "You can see from the number of relatives of the general who temporarily settled at Forest Hills that he could have established a big community there," said Mr. Ratner. "But that project has been abandoned and now they are all going to the Southwest." Mr. Ratner denied that the family was going to "start something" near the Mexican border.

He said one of the reasons for going to El Paso was its large Mexican population. Mr. Ratner declared that every Mexican in El Paso was friendly to General Huerta. "And naturally," declared Huerta's confidential "people like to live where a fellow feeling for them exists. They have been treated very well in New York, but they will like El Paso better.

Besides, Mrs. Huerta has a daughter in that town to whom she is much attached." OBITUARY Mrs. Ann Creighton Janes. Mrs. Ann Creighton Janes, 89 years old.

HERRICK SPEAKS. Addresses Fertilizer Convention on "Rural Credits." Hot Springs, July 14-In address on "The Need of Rural Credits' before the National Fertilizer Association Convention here today, Myron T. Herrick, former Ambassador to France, urged, as a remedy for whatever trouble exists in rural communities, the establishment of co-operative organizations of farmers. He asserted that not one of the successful systems in operation in this country or in Europe owed its existence to the intervention of the Government and that agricultural progress was not keeping pace with the expansion of industry and population. A co-operative system to be successful, according to Mr.

Herrick, be built up by the farmers themselves without outside assistance of any sort. 100 DEGREES IN ALASKA. Forest Fires Rage and Sun Shines 20 Hour Dally. Juneau, Alaska, July 14-Extreme heat during the last ten days has caused weather conditions hitherto unknown to. the oldest inhabitants of Southeastern Alaska.

Forest fires are raging along Lynn Canal and the glaciers have been discharging ice at an extraordinary rate. At this time of the year the sun shines 20 of the 24 hours each day, and to the absence of the usual southwest winds is attributed the excessive heat. SOLDIERS ESCORT LIBERTY BELL Seattle.

JR AUCTIONEERS A 111 BROADWAY WOULD MAKE PUPILS BUY ALL TEXT BOOKS Continued From Page 1. Educationally, there would be distinct advantages to the high school pupils themselves. 2. A uniform system of free books or books purchased by pupils is most democratic. Whether the establishment of a fund for the provision of pupils unable to purchase their own supplies would be undemocratte or nut would depend upon the methods of administration.

A large proportion of the public school children would require tree textbooks for economic reasons, there would be no economy in the proposed plan, because, in consonance with the educational benefit implied, it would be necessary to give the hooks to the pupils instead of merely loaning them, as under the present system. This would increase the per capita cost of the books to the city for books thus given to such an extent that it is doubtful whether any actual economy would be achieved. If the annual cost of school books is 000 and the life of books is, roughly speaking, four terms, the total cost of books in use in the high schools is $600.000. If, therefore, it were necessary to give books outright to 25 per cent. of high school children for whom it would work a hardship to purchase their books, the cost, to the city would be $150.000 merely for supplying books to these children, which is approximately the amount it now costs the city to loan the textbooks to all the pupils attending our high schools.

4. If the purchase of books by pupils would in any way tend to bring about a closed text-book list, it would undoubtedly be educationally disadvantageous. I am of the opinion, however, that our text-book list at the present time is too extensive, and that some limitation of it might reasonably be secured without lessening the educational effectiveness of high school teaching. Inasmuch as the number of pupils who would be unable to purchase their text is merely a matter of conjecture and opinion, I am unable to arrive at any conclusion as to the degree of hardship that would actually be worked upon the parents of high school children. Inasmuch as the system prevails in Chicago, where the population is not greatly different from our own, I am inclined to believe that the economic difficulties are unintentionally greatly overestimated by solicitous principals Asks That Board of Superintendents Make Investigation.

In view of the indefiniteness of our information, I am disposed to make the following recommendations: Resolved, That the board of superintendents be requested to investigate in so far as may be possible the tinancial ability of pupils in the high to purchase their own books. Resolved, That the board of superintendents be requested to suggest a plan for reference to the Committee on Supplies and the Committee on Bylaws whereby it may be possible to decrease the loss to the city incident to theft. mutilation and loss of high school text-books. "(3) Resolved, That the board of superintendents be requested to consider the possibility of decreasing the list of high school text-books without the sacrifice of any educational benefits contingent upon a liberal textbook list. "I am strongly of the opinion that text-books should no longer be supplied gratuitously in the training schools for teachers.

The overwhelming proportion of training school students graduate without owning a gle pedagogical book. I believe it to be in the interests of the teaching efficiency of our system that every graduate of a training school should have at the time of graduation a working library of pedagogical books, particularly those which they themselves have studied and annotated. The principals of the New York Training School for Teachers, the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers and the Jamaica Training School for Teacherg believe this to be an educationally sound policy. "A summary of the views Miss Emma L. Johnston, principal of the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers.

is pertinent. "Miss Johnston-Students should be taught their books in such a way as to make it unnecessary for them to write outlines as part of their preparation for the lesson or for purposes of review later. Teachers as well as students would set a higher value on books that have been paid for. Text-books would make an excellent beginning for a library for teachers. Teachers would train children to take better care of text-books owned by the public if they themselves had some experience in paying for text-books.

"While it is true that the training schools form a portion of our free educational system, I believe that they may be construed 88 professional schools, and that the books which are therein utilized are to be regarded as educational tools. It is therefore advisable that the graduates of our training schools should purchase their own text-books. This conclusion is urged not only for reasons of economy, but as a plan suggested for the purpose of promoting the teaching efficiency of the graduates of these training schools. I therefore make the following additional recommendations: Resolved. That beginning with the class entering February, 1916, the provision of free text- In our training schools for teachers should be Resolved.

That the Board of Superintendents be requested to take matter of requiring students in training for teachers to purchase their own text-books with the representatives of other schools supplied from the public funds, with a view to securing uniformity of action in this direction."

U. S. WILL DEMAND RELIEF FOR PACKERS Will Make Formal Representations to Britain to Release Cargoes. Washington, July 14-After conferences with eight representatives of the leading American meat packers today, State Department officials said formal representations would be made to Great Britain for the release of neutral meat cargoes detained by British naval authorities. The character of the representations has not been decided.

The delegation of meat packers at the conference today was headed by Arthur Meeker of Armour Co. The packers explained that at the end of their last conference here in May, they expected that the situation would be settled, and their expectation had not been realized. In the prize court in London their cases were postponed on June 6 and still are awaiting adjustment. The packers say they have been somewhat embarrassed by the British censors withholding certain matter bearing on their presentation of the case. The results of the conference today may have an important bearting upon the preparation of the gen(eral note which the State Department is soon to present to the British Government in regard to the order in council.

WAR IN EUROPE IS BLAMED. Goods Which Would Haave Been E- ported Form the Present Excess in Supply, The prices of vegetables at wholesale have fallen to the lowest level in years. In the past three weeks Wallabout Market dealers have reduced their prices over 40 per and many popular varieties are now being sold below actual cost. The supply is far out of proportion to the needs, and with the market already laden with goods for which there is no outlet, each succeeding shipment arriving further adds to the growing overplus. Simultaneous shipments from all parts of the country have produced this condition.

Beets, beans, carrots, turnips, rhubarb, radishes, scallions, parsnips, parsley and other garden truck abound, and the farmers who daily market their wares in the square in Wallabout Market say the supply on the Long Island farms approaches the size of a glut. Potatoes which sold at this time a year ago for $4 per barrel are now $1.50. Cabbages are sacrificed at any price, a recent sale being made at $5 for 1,000 heads, a record in the business. The flush production of New Jersey will hit the market in another fortnight, and this will bring another flood of vegetables. It is reported that tomatoes and, peppers now in readiness for market are in such immense quantities that the farmers are unable to procure a sufficient number of crates or containers to ship them in.

The fruit market is also heavily loaded down with more goods than there is call for. California has opened its flood gates, and all the small fruits are pouring into the market. The fruit men say they have never before experienced similar conditions. In spite of the hot which should send the fruit skyward, the prices are down to the low water mark. Produce merchants blame the present state of the market on the European war.

They maintain that in times of peace tons upon tons of goods are exported from this country, but that with the ships idle, a the goods intended for shipment kept here, and represent the present excess.

"Notwithstanding the voluntary character of this council." said Mr. Hillquit, "whatever definite conclusions you reach, we will abide by them. if there is the same willingness ion the part of the employers." Mr. Cohen said that any decision the council might make at the sion of the hearings must be absolutely definite, or the manufacturers could not see their way clear to abide by the decision.

"No makeshift judgment will be of any value in this situation," he said.
