fastened to ST. Paul to see what could
be done in the matter. Not knowing
his sons address, Postmaster Sands
called. at the police station to learn if
the police had been notified of the rob-
berry. Capt. Rouleau informed Mr.
Sands that no such case had been re-
ported to the station to his knowledge,
and the chances were that the young
man was mistaken about the robbery.
Mr.. Sands seemed quite surprised at
this information, and said that his son
Joey" who was seventeen years old,
had been attending the teachers train
ing school at Winona. Last Monday
the young man came to st. Paul, hav-
ing seen an advertisement in the paper
that young men could be furnished
with good positions by calling at
certain address. According to the let
ter he had received from his son the
robbery had occurred the day follow
ing his arrival in St. Paul. A postal
card was dropped in the postoffice last
night by Mr.. Sands directing his son to
meet him this morning at police head
quarters. The fact that Joey" is
without money will probably result in
his keeping the date with his father

STATE HIGH SCHOOL HOARD
MAKES FITS ALLOTMENTS
FOR 1.-THE YEAR.
LIST INCLUDES NEW ONES
FOUR FOR ELEMENTARY NORMAL
TRAINING, THREE FOR PRO-
MOTION TO HIGH CLASS.
GRADED SCHOOLS PICKING UP
Over Hnlf of Them Are Now En-
titled to Share in the
State Funds.

The state high school board held an
interesting meeting at the office of w.
w. Pendergast, state superintendent Of
public instruction, yesterday afternoon,
President Northrop and Supt. Fender
CAST being present with the governor
absent. Inspector George b. Alton, of
the high schools, and Inspector j. S.
Rankin, of the graded schools. were
also present to make their reports.
On the representation of Mr.. Alton
four new schools were added to the list
entitled to receive $500 from the state
annually for elementary normal train
ing: Hastings Red Wing, Rushford and
ST Paul
Three graded schools were added to
the list of high schools entitled to the
annual allotment of $500, to wit: How
ard Lake. Renville and Shakopee. The
other schools which have been so re-
ceiving the allotment were all relisted.
A number of additions were also
made to the list of graded schools
which meet the conditions required by
the state before permitting them to
share in the $500 allotment. The schools
added were as follows: Park Rapids,
Two Harbors, Fertile, Lamherton,
Grand Rapids, Mountain Lake, Royal
ton, Chaska, Belgrade, Cambridge,
Evansville, Carlton, Stephen and Win
throp. This makes 81 schools, out of a
total of 175,which are entitled to the al
lotment, but of these perhaps 10 or a
dozen manifest a tendency to fall be-
hind the standard required of such
schools, and it is possible that some
changes may be made in the list at the
next melting of the board unless there
is visible Improvement in, the work Of
the schools at an early date.

ing, but the report was evidently sat-
isfactory to all exhibitors.
This closed the convention, but the
members gathered in the exhibition
hall to spend several hours in pleasant
social conversation and to receive the
many visitors, who had called to in
spect the artistic display, the hall being
open to outsiders yesterday. Most of
the photographers left last evening to
return to their homes-ard to turn out
a finer class of work at their respective
studios than they ever did before
Some of them, however, will remain in
st. Paul over Sunday, to view some of
the many points of interest in this vi
entity.
The third annual convention has
proved a splendid success, socially, and
from an educational standpoint. The
exhibits, while not SO many in number
as last year, were far more excellent
from an artistic view, and show con-
siderable Improvement over a year
ago. The members are enthusiastic in
their work, and look forward to even a
bigger meeting next year.

RIXBY VISITS AT HOME.
Comes Up From His Home to Spend
n Month.

Tams Bixby. of the Dawes Indian
commission, returned yesterday from
down the country, to remain until next
month with his family, pending a re-
sumption of the deliberations of the
commission. The Cherokee Indians
are quite dissatisfied with the work of
the old commission, it seems, and ap-
parently a majority seem to favor
such treaty with the government as
will permit them to take lands in
severalty. The new, or Dawes, COM
mission hopes to straighten out the
tangle ultimately. Mr.. Bixby says
that nearly all of the Indians Of
mixed blood are in favor of the treaty;
the full-bloods, on the other hand, be-
ing bitterly opposed to it. Feeling
runs so high at times that If a treaty
were concluded the persons of the
Cherokee commissioners might not be
safe from violence.
From what Mr.. BiXby says, it
seems clear that the work of the
Dawes commission will not be brought
to a conclusion in a hurry. The senti-
ment in favor of a treaty, however,
seems to be growing, and it will only
be a question of time when it will be
brought about. The work of the
Dawes commission undoubtedly hur-
ries it along.

BRAAK'S BAD BREAK.
He Arrests Cyclist While Pursuing
q Thief.

Andrew Moe local wheelman, had
one case of alleged violation of the BIZ
cycle ordinance pending in the police
court yesterday, when he was again
arrested for scorching. Wednesday he
was captured on the Summit avenue
cycle path by Officer Braak, and when
tried in the municipal court, set up the
defense that one of the pedals on his
wheel had broken, thus making con-
troll of the machine impossible. The
case was continued.
Yesterday Moe was informed that a
stolen bicycle in possession of strang-
er, was proceeding toward Minneapolis
on the Summit avenue path. He OBJ
tanned permission at police headquar-
tiers to chase the supposed thief, and
was bowling along at a three minute
clip, when Officer Braak again appeared
on the scene and placed him under
arrest. The policeman refused to be-
lieve Noes explanation, but he was
subsequently released upon an order
from the central station. The IS bail
deposited in the first case was declared
forfeited on Noes non appearance in
court yesterday.

NOT OFF TEACHERS.
School Board VIII Try to Cut Other
Expenses.

Whatever the school board does with
regard to the reduction of its appropri-
alton from the amount which it asked.
it seems probable that little, if any,
reduction will be made in the amount
to be used for teachers salaries. In
its division of the money, the ordi-
nance which passed the assembly
Thursday night follows the lines sug-
gested informally by Inspector E. o.
zimmerman at the meeting of the
school board Monday. This division
allots 1927, $50 for teachers salaries,
$43,95O for other salaries, and $4,000 for
general expenses. Mr.. Zimmerman's
idea Is that it is from this third item
that the greater portion of the reduc-
ton must be made, and his suggestion
was made in accordance with that
view. There may be some minor re-
auctions in teachers salaries, but he
does not think they will be important.
The suggestion is significant, as Mr..
zimmerman is supposed to be close in
the councils of the controlling faction
in the board.
