Yesterday, not realizing what a whirlwind he was to reap, Schepp announced that he planned to distri- bute most of his millions and sought counsel from the public as to the best means of doing it. He sought help--and to-day he received up- wards of 8,000 offers of it. . Schepp was astonished by the great response to his simple an- nouncement that he was about to quit business and go into philan- thropy. His principal objections to ow tide of publicity that engulfed m were statements in some of the papers that he is 85 and their characterization of him as the *"'co- coanut king.". "I am not the cocoanut king," he announced with some heat, "and I don't want to be called thsf. And I'm not 85; I'm 83. That's old enough." PARENTS INDIGNANT WHEN PUPILS FAIL nip h Trustees Forced to Abolish Kindergarten and Lighten Principal's Load. Havelock, July 24.--Because so few pupils passed the entrance ex- amination this year the school board | was forced by public opinion last night to make changes in its system, chief among them being the reliev- ing of the principal and the abolition of a kindergarten. A public meeting of citizens will be held on Thursday night to further consider the case. Last term Principal Yuill had 55 ! pupils in his room, béing required to | teach junior fourth as well as en- trance candidates. Next term the | number will be reduced to 38. The | stir was caused by the failure of all | but nine of 35 candidates to pass the | entrance examination, and of those | nine, four were passed only after | special and liberal consideration, the inspector said. Woman Kept Out of Hotel Because She Had a Dog Chicago, July 24.--Millicent, dow- ager duchess of Sutherland, widow of one of the largest land owners in Europe, was refused admittance at the Blackstone hotel. Finko, a tiny Pekingese dog, was the cause. When the duchess registered at the hotel she was told that she would have to send the dog to the basement ken- nels of the hostelry. Smilingly, the former leader of London society, moved on to another hotel where there is no such harsh rule against the chow. The duchess is on her way to To- ronto, fresh from Hollywood, Calif. She is just completing a trip around the world. Toronto Women Hurt. Victoria, B.C., July ' 24.--Miss Blanche Burton and Miss J. Arnold, of Toronto, are in the Jubilee Hos- pital here suffering from injuries re- ceived in an automobile accident when six ladies,» occupants of a car, were hurled over an embankment on the Malahat Highway, a distance of fifty feet. The car turned over several times, and its fall was checked by trees which prevented it from plunging another 150 feet into water below. Miss Dorothy Burton, of Toronto, was badly bruised. Floods in Colorado. Trinidad, Colo., July 24.--A flood in the Purgatoire river which swept away half a dozen bridges and in- undated parts of the business and re- sidential districts of Trinidad caused approximately $100,000 damage last night. The river, which divides the city, was still swollen to-day although danger of another flood had practi- cally passed. No injuries or loss of life were reported, although definite reports from outlying agricultural communities are lacking. Killed At Cobourg, Ont., July 24 Clifford George, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William George of Toronto, was instantly killed about five miles east of here at noon yesterday, his neck being broken and his head Jerumed when he was rum over by one of the gravel motor trucks of the Paving and Mastic Company of Toronto, which was drawing gravel for the paving of the Cobourg and Grafton highway. THE LATE JAMES CLARK. | | Ho Was Worthy and Esteemed Resi- dent of Cherry Valley. | On Tuesday, June 30th, the death of James Clark, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Athol township, Prince Edward county, occurred after only two days illness. Although Mr. Clark was in his eightieth year, and had been fafl- | ing in health for some time, he had been able to continue his work al-| most to the last. All his life he had followed the calling of a fisherman and it seemed fitting that his last call should come while busily en- gaged at his life's work. He had been staying at Salmon Point light house and died there | right at the scene of the labors of a life time. James Clark was born in Lennox county where his parents, who came Drumfries, Scotland, set- tied on their arrival in Canada. When he was a small boy the family mov- ed to Salmon Point where the father followed his trade as blacksmith. He died some years ago. After James Clark's marriage to Amanda Spafford they settled at | Salmon Point, Mr. Clark engaging | in fishing and farming. During re- cent years they had spent part of the time in Picton, returning to the farm and fishing for the summer. James Clark was a man of ex- ceptionally fine character. To few men is it given to gain in so great & degree the universal respect and esteem of all who knew him. Early in| life he joined ¢he Methodist church, | and through all the years, he con- tinued a steadfast and consistent member and worker. For many years he was the superintendent of the | Salmon Point Sunday school. He was | a local preacher and his work in|, this capacity was always most ac-| ceptable. He was gifted with usual ability as a public speaker, and his personal life added the weight of a worthy example. Surviving are his wife and one son, William, who is Overseer of | Game and Fisheries for Prince Ed-! ward County. One son, Lewis, died in Lowell, Mass, in February last. | The funeral was held at Salmon | Point church, on Thursday, July 2nd, | a large congregation gathering to do honor to the memdry of one they had learned to love. Manly Duetta, South Bay, was the preacher. Interment at Cherry Valley. un- | Rains Enhance Crops.
