THE ISAKI SCHOOL HOUSE.
lage near that reached by the seven sail
ors. All were nearly dead from exposure
and famine, but the Japanese islanders
treated them with such skill and kind
ness that all recovered, and ON arriving
at San Francisco were earnest in asking
that something be done to reward their
benefactors.
Mr.. Horace F. Cutter, of San Fran
cisco, prepared memorial, which was
extensively signed, and presented in
congress by Senator Jones, of Nevada.
The government sent gold medals to the
principal rescuers, and $1,000 was voted
to the two villages-Anjio and Isaki.
By advice of Minister Swift the money
was used to endow these two schools,
and photographs 10 by 20 inches in size
of the two buildings have recently been
forwarded to Mr.. Cutter. The island is
Tanega-Sirna, thirty miles from the main
island of Kiu-Sin, and the native pho
tographer had to travel seventy-fve1
miles from Kagoshima to take the pic
lures. They are very fine, quite up to
the standard of San Francisco art, and
were paid for by the Japanese govern
ment.
In each village the people have set up
little monument by the school house
.'to commemorate the goodness of the
people of the United States" Although
everything about these little frames is
cheap and simple the artistic sense of
the Japanese appears in every detail.
The japanese flag flies over each build
ing. as in some American states our own
flag does, and the surroundings are all
quite attractive. 1t is pleasant to CON
clude with the statement that boys and

As rector of the Episcopal Church OF
All Souls, corner of Sixty -s1xth street
and Madison avenue, New York, his
liberal or latitudinarian utterances have
long attracted attention, and little
over a year ago twelve Episcopal clergy
men of that diocese waited on Bishop
Potter with request that a commits
sion be appointed to investigate charges
of heresy against DR.. Newton. That
commission has recently made rather
curious report.
They acquit the doctor of heresy, but
add that he breaches very much accord
ing to his moods, and that many of his
utterances are therefore liable to grave
misconstruction, and conclude with q
charitable hope .sthat he, upon consid-
GRAFTON, will see his way clear to reyok-
ing the utterances in question" DR..
Newton declares that his health has
been very bad ever since the epidemic of
grip, and that he would have asked leave
of absence long ago had there not been
charges pending against him. In his alb
sence his duties will be performed by
Rev. DR.. Samuel HI. Bishop, who has for
some time been assistant minister of the
Church of the Incarnation, of which
Rev. Arthur Brooks is pastor.

already been erected on the fats, occu-

shown on the map, is owned by the PORT

the space across the marginal way ana

propose to fill this fiat very soon and ul-
timately will erect on the left OF Deerlng

will also extend spur lines to WinsloW's

bring track across Forest avenue to
give access to the land which will be
made by filling the fats owned by Messrs.

The plan contemplates the construct ton

Saturday the Harbor Commissioners,
Messrs. Farley, Kelsey and Fox. held q
hearing tDeering bridge to sanction some
important Improvements which are about
to be made in that vicinity. The fillingin
of the flats near Deering Oaks, the con,
struction of the new sewers and the re-
cent fills made by the Portland & Roches-
ter railroad, have greatly changed the
topography of this part of the city. There
was time when the tide of Back Bay
flowed back as far, or farther than Grove
street, and small vessels used to go up to
a wharf on that street. But that was
long ago, for Deering bridge must have
been built in the first decade of this cen
fury, although Forest avenue was not
laid out until 1924 or whereabouts. A
tide mill stood atiDeering bridge within
comparatively recent years, and the tide
flowed back good distance. But within
the last year the flats on both sides OF
the railroad have been filled, and two
sewers have been constructed, which
take all the water which formerly flowed
in the creek, SO that on the right side OF
Deering bridge, as one approaches Port
land, practically solid earth has taken
the place of water and fats. On the
other side. however, water and flats still
remain, and the left hand side of Deer

fishermen. Rut the days of smelt fishing
here are numbered. Saturday the Har-

SWAMP LAND CASES.
An Important Decision Rendered by the

An Important Decision Rendered by the
mississippi Supreme Court
JACKSON, Miss, April 26-The case ofthe
state against the Delta and Pine Land
company was decided by the supreme
court to-day in favor Of the de-
PENDANT The effect Of the decision is
to settle th3title to most Of the swamp and
overlooked lands hereto ore sold py the
states. The act of 1877 providing for tn e
sale ofthose lands contained proviso that
no more than 24O acres should
be sold to any one person.
In this case it was shown that
an Englishman named Byron Coers and
furnished the money to various persons
who bought for his firm each 24O acres and
Immediately conveyed the land to
the firm, by which they came to
own about $4,000 acres. Later
the legislature required suit TO be
brought Tor the cancellation OF all such
patents. The court decides that it is not
material how much land was obtained by
one person, so long as one patent did not
contain more than 24O acres. Over 500, 900
acres are held in tins way by persons scat
tered all over the United States .-.9 r., F..

Bar bosa,s statement Denied

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Gen. Foster, of
the state department. who assisted in the
reciprocity negotiations with the Brazilian
government, said to-day that there were
several errors in the dispatch from Rio
Janeiro concerning the reciprocity agree
ment with that country, the principal one
bsing that this government had pledged
itself not to make similar agreement with
any European government. -
"Senor Mendonca." said he. ''has frequently
denied the correctness of that statement him
Sell. This government never was asked by Bra
I'll to make such a promise and OF course never
made it. Moreover. 1t could not have legally
made such a promise for the reason that such
action would have been in direct conflict with
the reciprocity provision of the tariff act
A copy o. Gen. Fosters statement was
subsequently sent in to Secretary Blaine at
his home and he returned it with a simple
remark that it was correct When the
dispatch was shown to Senator Mendonca,
the Brazilian minister, he said that he had
already denied similar statements emana-
ting from eX-Minister Barbosa. There was
nothing in the correspondence between
the two governments to sustain his state
ment that the United States had promised
not to make similar agreement with any
European government. Senior MendonCa
said these reports were being circulated by
the enemies Of the present government
solely for political purposes. 1t is said
that the present minister. Of foreign affairs,
Col SerzodelIa. intends to open active
negotiations Tor the revision of the treaty.

His imprisonment.

A case was on trial in a Kentucky
courtroom. An old man of some
what disreputable appearance had
just given important testimony, and
the lawyer whose cause suffered by
his statements strove in every way to
confuse and trip him, but in vain. The
witness stuck to his story, and did
not loose his temper in spite of the ir-
ritating manner in which the cross
examination was conducted.
Finally, in the hope of breaking
down the credibility OF the witness,
the lawyer at g. venture asked:
"Have you ever been in Prison?''
II have,' replied the witness.
"Ah," exclaimed the attorney, with
a triumphant glance at the Jury. II
thong ht as much. May I inquire how
long you were there?"
"Two years and three months"
answered the witness quietly, with a
manner that was interpreted by the
lawyer as indicating chargin at an un-
expected exposure. E
"lndeed, said the delighted lawyer,
feeling his case already won. 'That
was a. heavy sentence. I trust the
jury will note the significance of the
fact. Now, sir, tell the jury where you
were confined"
"1n Andersonville," replied the old
man, drawing himself up proudly.
There was moment of silence, the
jurors looked at each other, and then
the court room rang with cheers which
the court officers we're powerless to
check, and in which some Of the Jury
joined.
The too inquisitive lawyer hardly
waited to hear the verdict against
him. "

this case Wheeler made homestead entry

cumstances, and shows unusual facilities

Afraid of Anarchists

PARIS, April 26.-The trial of Ravachol,
the anarchist will begin tomorrow A
big demand has been made for tickets of
admission, but the desire to hear the pro-
ceedinys has been somewhat dampened by
the statement that Ravachol's friends were
plotting to prevent sentence from being
carried out. Fears are expressed that
bomb might be exploded in court, but this
is not very probable None OF the Judges
are anxious to preside at the trial, as the
anarchists have threatened vengeance against
the judge who sentences Ravachol.
