TIE CALLS ENTERPRISE
 EVERYWHERE COMMENDED.
the Hard Working Officials of Solano County.

VALLEJO Feb. 4-Nothing but words of commendation for the man. agement of the San Francisco Call was heard on all sides this morning upon the enterprise shown in being the only city paper to give the news concern ing the arrest of the murderer of the Belew brother and sister at Dixon. All of the officials are well known here. and are accorded much praise for their efforts in bringing the human monster behind the bars.
 The Vallejo Chronicle says: "The San Francisco Call was the only paper this morning to publish the details of the arrest. and The Call gives due credit to the authorities. District At torney Devlin. the Sheriff and the de- tectives for their work in running down the criminal. When the mur- derer believed the District Attorney was as good as pie and was looking for his support at the next election the latter was all the time engaged in getting testimony which would bring him to the gallows. The Chronicle would like to know what the murderer now thinks of the District Attorney. The Call has scored a splendid victory in its great scoop of this morning."

 Now that Bird has relieved his con- science, now that the man who looked on his life as constant menace to his own, is in custody, he at least enjoys a feeling of safety that was not his so long as Belew was at large.
 What influence has silenced the tongue of J. w Bird? It is found in this one request, which was handed to The Call correspondent tonight. It was a note in the ndwriting of Bird himself and which contained a request that The Call correct the statement that Mrs. Bird was a sister of Belew. Herein lies the secret of Birds silence. While his wife was not related by blood to Belew, her sister was the wife of the murderer, and to protect her. Bird carried the secret as long as he could. During the investigation immediately following the crime, Mr. Bird sent for The Call correspondent and in a room of the building where MT. Bird now re- sides. he introduced the wife of Frank Belew, who wanted to contradict statement made to the effect that she had returned to her husband This statement was corrected in The Call as she requested and at the time MT. Bird manifested a great desire to see the name of his wife's sister forever severed from that of Frank Belew.

MUST ADD TO
 THE TAX RATE No Money to Complete the San Jose High
 School.
Serious Condition Which the Board of Education
 Faces.
Without Funds Wherewith to Fur nish the Building When It Is
 Constructed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 2.-There is no money on hand with which to furnish and complete the new s75,0O0 High School now nearing completion in Nor nal square. and the City Board of Education is in a quandary as to where the funds are to come from.
 In November, 1896, the city voted bonds in the sum of s75,00O for the erection and completion of a high school building. A portion of Normal square was ceded to the city by the State for site. Bids were called for and the erection of the building com menced. But the cost of furnishing the building was overlooked, and now the question is, Where is the $13,oS0 need ed to furnish the school to come from? ?
 On about May 1 the building will be turned over to the city with the base ment unfinished and with many extras needed for the other floors. No work has been done on the basement. The walls will have to be plastered, the floors cemented, cloak rooms and laboratories finished, and doors, win dows, etc., put in. To do this it is es- timated by the supervising architects, Jacob Lenzen & Son, will cost about $4000 Without the use of the base ment the school would be seriously harassed.
 Aside from this $95S0 will be needed to furnish the school rooms and build ing. These are the items:

 Another.

 Cotton.
Almost Precipitate Riot Between Catholic and Protestant
 Citizens.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Feb. 4.-In a fight at Col ton yesterday between pupils of the public school and those of Catholic parochial school, Gregory Yunck, aged | Is, who attends the Catholic school, was fatally injured, his skull being badly fractured.
 Yesterdays trouble was the outcome of a difficulty of long standing be- tween the two sets of pupils. Walter Singleton has been leader of the public school boys, who, while passing the Catholic school, have been subject to many taunts. These, though begun good naturedly, have gradually become unpleasantly severe.
 Yesterday the public school pupils re- solved to be prepared for an encounter and armed themselves with clubs. Yunck stood just inside the gate, be- ing foremost among the Catholic boys, when Singleton passed on horseback. Infuriated by the jeers of the boys Sin gleton hurled his club into the crowd, striking Yunck on the right side of the head, back of the ear.
 A physician was hastily summoned and pronounced the wound very seri- ous The skull was depressed and frac- tured and bad cut inflicted which re- quired several stitches. The boy has been unconscious ever since and may die at any time.
 Young Singleton, who is F years old, turned about and went home. Later a warrant was issued and he was taken before a Justice of the Peace. He waived examination and was put under $500 bonds to appear in the Superior Court. A large crowd congregated in the justice room, among them the father of the injured boy, who had filed the complaint His indignation at young Singleton's coolness nearly car ried him beyond bounds. For a few minutes it looked as though riot was imminent between the Catholics and Protestants. After parleyIng, both sides agreed to let the law take it's

This makes total of $13,5S0 that will have to be raised in order to furnish the building. This year 51a cents was raised by taxes for the support of the high school, and for next year con- servative estimate would be cents.
 A levy of 13 cents was made for the grammar grades this year, which, with 51s cents for the high school, makes a total of 1872 cents for the School De- partment.
 When the apportionment was made the Council stated that this was all that could possibly be allowed the School Department and still maintain the other city departments. If this be so it is not known where the s13.5S0 will come from, because it would re- quire an additional cents to raise $13,5S0.
 Of the $75, 900 of bonds issued to build the school only S400 will remain when the building is turned over to the city to be furnished. The contract for the building, plumbing, etc, was awarded to D. J. Byron for s61,357, and George H. Fay of San Francisco secured the contract for heating apparatus for $S996. This makes a total of S7O,253. The supervising architects, J. enzen & Son, will get $3512,. or 5 per cent of the two contracts. The balance has gone for extras and changes, and but $400 re- mains The building must be ready for occupancy by August 2s..
 A meeting of the board and City Council will be held in a few days for the purpose of discussing ways and means for carrying on the work The money will have to be raised by taxa tion, and as the new charter limits the tax rate to $1 on each S100 valuation, it will be necessary to take this amount from the other departments. An addi- tional cents will have to be added to the school fund apportionment, making that levy for next year about 2S cents.
