Many Cenveniences Needed

The committee on buildings Of the city
board of education, who have for the
past day or two been inspecting the new
school houses recently turned over to the
board by the city council, find that many
little conveniences and comforts will
have to be provided before they are what
they should be. So far the Twenty
eighth, Boyd. Sixth. Sentous and Vernon
street buildings have been inspected.
No water facilities are provided in the
yards for the children. Only MIGRANTS
inside the buildings are arranged for,
which is a great inconvenience and will
cause much trouble when school opens.
The yards are without fences, shade,
pavilion. or any place where the chill
dren may eat lunch or be at all protected
from the heats Of the sun or the rains of
winter. Only the bare ground. desolate
and dusty, surrounds the buildings. At
Twcnty-eighth street, a few inches OF
sand, intensely hot and delightful for
fieas, covers the ground. At Fourth and
Olive the children are turned almost
into the street. On two sides high wall
of earth of indefinite height surrounds
the building. In front is the street On
the fourth side a little patch of bare.
dirty. rough ground gives a narrow space
for the 500 or 600 children to play.
AS the schools will open September
14th. there is but little time in which to
supply the many deficiencies.

EXAMINED FOR ENLIGHTENMENT
Grocery Clerk Charged With Misappropriatins
Ills Ernployers' Funds


Before Justice owens yesterday at
ternoon the examination of Will p. To-
bin on a charge of embezzlement was
taken up, but not concluded. Tobin is
a well built young fellow with shock
of sandy colored hair which sticks out
around his head like that Of Circas-
sian woman in a dime side show, and
which would be the envy of any football
player.
He formerly worked for the grocery
firm of Wynnes q Fleishman on South
Spring street as a delivery and collection
clerk. on the afternoon of July Sd To-
bin left the store with a load of groce-
ries to deliver and never came back
His employers found that he had deliv-
cred most of the goods and collected
something over $50. with which he had
skipped out. His horse and wagon were
found two days later in stable on San
Pedro street where he had left them.
Tobin was caught in San Diego by De-
tective Steele and brought back to an
swer for his crime. A good deal of tes-
timony was heard yesterday. but, sew
eral material witnesses being absent,
the matter went over until today to be
concluded.

Back From Ills Vacation

Councilman Kingery returned yester-
day from his vacation at Catalina. He
mas only been away week, but he says
that he has had fun enough to last him
for year. He is loud in his praises of
the island resort, and says that every
thing was done to make his stay pleas
ant one. Like everyone else he went
fishing. but his early religious training
prevents him from taking those fragrant
liberties with the truth which pass cur
rent as stories among fishermen. He
CO. fesses to have slain but a single
yellowtail. but that was whopper He
thought at first that he had hooked
whale. or at the very least, a Jewish. and
he was much disappointed when he
weighed in. The catch tipped the beam
at Just five and half pounds. Mr. Kin
gerry says that it was the biggest little
fish that he ever tackled.

PUBLIC MORALS
The Council Commit tee Failed to Meet at the
Appointed Time

The committee on public morals OF the
city council failed to meet yesterday
afternoon according to program. Chair
man Kingery cut short his vacation,
and came all the way home from Cata-
lima to be present. He did not arrive I'M
til about noon. but went to the city hall
shortly after, and at 1870 o'clock was in
the committee room waiting for the Dali
to open. Messrs. Stockwell and Savage.
1.-THE other members were both absent,
and it was stated that the former was
out of the city. AS Mr.. Kingery did not
feel equal to tackling the proposition
single handed, he notified the represen-
tative of the clerks association, and one
or two others who were present that no
meeting would be held. and that he
would adjourn until this afternoon at
the same hour. Mr.. Savage came in
very shortly after the adjournment but
as the people who were to do the talking
had departed, nothing could be done.

general than formerly. more Of this
work being now done on public ac-
count. The article remarks that the
contract system has become offensive
during the past few years and legisla-
lures have sought to change their plans
from that either to the pu~blic-account
system or to the picce-price system.
Perhaps the best way or showing the
extent of the change Is by giving the
production under the several systems in
1888 and in 1895. Under the public
account system there were produced in
the United States in 1850 goods to the
value of S2.OG3. S92, but under this syS-
tenn in 1875 there were produced goods
to the value of $I,SSS.563, being an in
crease of more than 100 per cent. Under
the contract system there has been 4
decrease of about 30 per cent, or from
$1T.OT1.2G to SIS. 100. 100. Under the
picCe-price system the production has
increased over $50 per cent. while under
the lease system there mas been II de-
crease of about 10 per cent. In 1885
the total wages paid by contractors ami
lcSSccS to states and counties for the
labor Of couvicts. from which resulted
a product of the value of $2S. ~. 800.
was only S3,5l2.0TO. or 81 of convict
labor wages to $50 of finished product
of convict labor. Labor Commissioners
Wright says there is reason to believe
that the ratio at the present time is
less than that for 1855 and that in all
probability the total value of the labor
expended by the convictS in the state
prnitcntiarirs and prisons of the coun
try does not exceed S2.5OO.00O.
OF course the labor commissioner does
discuss the question of convict
labor, that being Il matter wholly apart
from his investigation. but the facts
presented cannot fail to suggest to those
who TAX an interest in the question, |
it is one of no inconsiderable I'M
portance. 1t is seen that convict labor
is something of Il factor. though not a
very large one, in the work of produc-
ion.

The scholarly address on international
arbitration, delivered before the Amer.
lean Bar association by Lord Russell
must be Regarded as expressing the
se"ntimeAts2on this subject of the best
people of England and so regarded it
is r%eassuring of continued peace and
friendship between the English-speak-
ing nationS. Lord Russell is not of
those who believe that the millennium
of peace for the world has arrived. The
adjustments are still maintained and
that ingenuity is still being directed to
the invention of more effective wcap-
ons and instruments of destruction will
not permit the thought that the world
is to witness no more wars and that
all controversies among nations are to
be peaceably settled by arbitration. AS
Lord Russell said. there are some things
which cannot he SO settled-things
which can be decided only by appeal
to force and this will continue to be
so until there is IL very radical change
Ill human nature.
But nevertheless international arbi-
tration is not impractiCable. That has
been demonstrated Experience has
shown said Lord Russell, that over n
large area international differences
may honorably. practically and usefully
be dealt with By peaceful arbitrament.'
The fact that there have been some
sixty instances of effective international
arbitration in the last eighty years suf-
ticicntly t~estifies to the practicability
of what is 10Y proposed. Such being
the case. every consideration affecting
their well being and the interests of
civilization dictates that the United
States and Great Britain should join
hands in furthering this great principle.
In reference to this Lord Russell said:
"Who can doubt the influence they
possess for inSuring the healthy prog
rcsS II the peace of mankind? But
if this influence is to be FULLY felt they
must work together in cordial friend
If they have great power they
also great responsibility. No
cause they espouse can fail; no cause
they oppose can triumph. The future
is, in large part, theirs. They have
the making of history in the times
that are to come. The greatest calamity
could bcfail would be strife which
divide them" All this will GER
tainly appeal to the most intelligent
American sentiment and find Il hearty
response from all men who are not
controlled by prejudice or hope to adj
vance themselves politically by foster
ing hatred of England. IF the English !
speaking nations shall agree upon Il
plan of international arbitration they
Will do much for the maintenance of

II NOT TIP UIOMING

1t is announced from Chicago that
the well known millionaire packers,
Michael ana John Cudahy, are about to
embark ms competitors of the Standard
oil octopus The CudahyS have al
ready acquired the entire plant of the
Northern Indiana Oil compalN. in the
heart of the Indiana oil region, and
propose to construct q pipe line to con
meet the fields with refinery works near
Chicago. While this new enterprise is
not likely seriously to embarrass the
Standard oil monopoly, which has for
years had undisputed control of the
petroleum traffic of America, it will
be hailed us the forerunner of Il di-
vided empire in the oil business.
The most promising undevelOped oil
field is in Wyoming. There is there an
almost i~neXhaustible supply of both
Illuminating and lubricating oil. All
that is needed to place it at the com
mand of the commercial world is the
capital, plants and pipe line facilities.
a pipe line from the Wyoming oil
fields to Omaha would prove ii most
profitable investment. Omaha is
naturally the distributing center for the
Rocky mountain petroleum product.
With retineries located in this vicinity,
Omaha would become for the Wyoming
oil fields what Cleveland is for those
of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Some of
the best Wyoming oil lands are owned
by Omaha men, but they have remained
undeveloped for want of the requisite
capital. 1t is not TO be expected that
any steps will be taken to tap the
Wyoming oil fields by pipe line to the
Missouri river until the money question
shall have been definitely settled, but
this is as good n time as any to ar
range the preliminaries.
