yesterday, Hallidie, in a burst of magnifi-

question whether the war is over. Halt

a contrary opinion, citing the recent call
of Admiral Dewey for reinforcements.
The matter was patched up by giving
Hayne a leave of absence until the war
closed or until he was mustered out of
the service. Meanwhile Meinecke will

One of the guards, followed by a howl

Grant avenue and stonped in front of

Suffer streets. Several of the guard
went inside, and after a short search
they found one of their number secreted
in the rear of the saloon. He was hauled
out and subsequently sent 10 the Preside

of the provost guard they lost no time in
making their escape.
The guard discovered another one of
the Tennessee Regiment hiding in a sa-
loon on Grant avenue. He was placed
under arrest and taken to O'Farrell street
and Grant avenue preparatory to being
sent to the Preside. After being placed
on an O'Farrell street car under a guard

Albert S. Emmett, another of the gang,
was found in a saloon, and when placed
under arrest he struck the sergeant of

Two policemen followed him, and after

MORE TROUBLE FOR
SAN JOSE HIGH SCHOOL
Teachers Salaries Will Have to Be
Cut for Lack Of
Funds

SAN JOSE, Cal, Sept. 13-The City
Board Of Education held star-cham-
Der session this evening. Trustees
Graham, Kenyon, Wemple, Langford
and ONeil were present.
The sole topic discussed was how to
conduct the High School on the 5h
cents levy allowed by the City Council.
There are but $11,425 in the High School
fund for the coming year, and in all
probability the High School will have
to remain in the old building for
another year and salaries will have to
be cut ell around. The board asked for
a cents levy.
The salary list in the old High School
building amounts to $12,600 per year.
In the new school 1t would amount to
$14,700. This does not include supplies,
which amount to several thousand
more. IF the school Is moved to the
new building at least $4,000 will be
necessary to run it.
Those who will be affected by the
cut in salaries are: A. e. Shumate

Mrs. Mary Gleason, s140O; Mrs. E. A
