Protest Against German Intcr1er-
ence with Hayti.
City Of Mexico. November lei Mundo
tonight comments on the probable German
intervention In Hayti. and condemns 1t as
un1ustifiable and a high-handed act of the
stronger power against the weaker. and
instances the action of England in landing
troops In Corinto. Nicaragua, compelling
that republic to incredible humiliation,
having to accede to the demands of that
powerful nation. Eel Mundo asks who will
dare to protest against the action Of Ger
many, which intends to humliate an OBJ
scure and almost unknown Latin Amerl-
can nation? The paper asks for arbitration
in this matter.

Medal Funds Are Not Under the Control
of the Board of Educa-

Since the Board of Education stopped
the giving of medals in the public schools
for meritorious work the question OF what
should be done with the funds that
had been donated to purchase trophies
has been q vexed one.
Some of the memb ers of the old board
desired to return the funds to the donors,
inasmuch rs they were not IN use for the
purpose originally intended.
The most i'm portant of these funds are
two of $1,000 each. given by Samuel j..
Bridge and James Denman.
In order to ascertain its rights in the
matter the board referred it to the City
and County ATTORNEY. who rendered an
opinion yesterday. He found that as the
funds were placed under the control of
the Mayor, Auditor and Treasurer the
board had no right to dispose of them in
any way.
With regard to the medal funds of the Lin
coin Grammar, John SWEET Grammar, Broad
way Grammar and other schools, raised by ex-
hibitions and entertainments given by such
schools, the Board of Education would not, in
my opinion, have any authority to dispose OF
such funds. These funds are under the man
agement and control of the persons having
possession of them and are trust funds, for the
benefit of the pupils OF the particular schools
for which they were created. They could not

dead mariner as his own. On the 23d OF
November he shipped on the Swanhilda
as an able seaman still going under the
name of Lee Weller and exhibiting the
latter's discharge in order to secure his
berth.
Detective McHattie does not believe
that Butler had any money to speak of
when he set sail. He was shabby and
gave evidence of being almost destitute.
Butler had been some time on his way
before the crimes were traced to him, and
it was not until December II that Nc
Hattie and Conrov set sail. They, how
ever, went by a fast mail steamer, and
hence have time to spare. Since their de-
parture they have learned that another
man named Lessa is missing and is sup
posed to be victim of Butler.
The detective does not believe Butler
has am chance whatever to escape. 1.-THE

and strong ship. 1t is very unlikely that
she will touch at any port on her way
up" In case she should, however, the
officers at every point where information
could be transmitted have been notified to
be on the alert The story which appeared
in the Hawaiian Star to the effect that
Butler had been seen there soon after the
arrival OF the Mariposa McHattie declared
to be without any probable or possible
foundation.
OF Buffers antecedents little is known.
He is thought to have visited the colonies
in 1893, where he arrived from Cape Town,
Africa. He did not remain long in sgd
ney on that occasion, and he is known to
have been in West Australia for some
time. Several mysterious disappearance
which occurred in that region are now at
tributed to him. The murderers per-
sonal appearance is said 10 be repul sive
in the extreme. The photograph of him
brought by the detectives they declare,
flatters him greatly.

said McHattle, the senior officer. Every
thing will be left to his judgment"
This man who speaks so modestly OF his
plans is by no means q novice in the pro-
fession of criminal pursuit, and there is
determined CLEAN in his small deep-set
eyes that suggests bulldog tenacity.
He is regularly attached as detective to
the Sydney police department, but he is
stationed at Newcastle, N. S. w. This
seaport is much frequented by the crimi-
nal classes and it is from this port that
fugitives from justice most often attempt
to escape. For this reason the post is
considered an important one.

many others who have for some years
given their attention to Horticulture. The
usual routine of business was entered upon
and completed.
There was considerable interest ma nj
tested in the next floral show and already
it is the desire OF members to make it the
greatest that has ever occurred in the
State. The meeting, though largely in
formal in its character, was calculated to
arouse deeper interest in the culture of
flowers.
