SCHOOL SIZE QUESTION.
City Council Committees Favorably
Inclined, But Moving Slowly.

On Monday morning the city council
committees on waterworks and public
grounds will inspect the proposed loca-
ton for the city stables near the gravel
beds in City Creek canyon, and as soon
as the question of location is settled,
negotiations with the board of educa-
ton for exchange of the 12X12 rods ON
State and First North streets viii be
renewed From the trend of opinion
expressed at the committees meeting
last evening, the city council Will in
sist upon the school board giving fifty
feet of the Thirteenth ward property,
east of the Grand theatre, and the
Eighth ward site, for the shop and
stable grounds, which the board desire
for a site for the proposed twenty class
room school building in the north CEN
trail part of the city. The committee
agreed last night that it could utilize
the Eighth ward property for STORING
waterworks supplies and as an emer-
gency station. but that the Sixteenth
ward rock building would be unserv-
iceable. The matter of choosing an aSo-
praiser was, however. deferred, but the
school board will be expected to pay
all expenses of moving the shops and
stables.

PLACERS ARE NOT RICH.
Official Report As to the Lower Cali

San Diego. Cal, June 22.-Seventy-
five returning miners came up from
the San Rogue placers on the steamer
ST Denis, arriving here today. All are
united in saying that the placers are
poor. the average yield being not over
81 so per day 10 the man.
Captain II. L. Swain, the official rep
resentative of the chamber of COM

who visited the mines under instruc-
tions to send the exact facts regarding
the placeas. sends the chamber of COM
merce a letter, in which he says:
The placers cover ten miles square,
but in this space the actual workings
are very limited, being confined to the
river beds dry that find their source
in the range of mountains to the north
east Daily the prOspectors are, OF
course, finding new fields. but their eX-

SEWAGE FOR FARMERS.
Water and Fertilizer to Be Extended,
Preventing Foul Odors.

The city council committee on sew
ers made a move last night toward ex-
tending the utility of the irriSating
water and fertiliZing matter from the
sewer farm to the farmers north OF he
outlet. AS soon as the ditch is eX-
tended the revenue from this source
will increase. and the city engineer
and a subcommittee was appointed to
negotiate for right of way for the
ditch.
During the discussion Councilman
Margetts said complaints of the foul
doors from the sewer farm came city
wards with every northwest wind, but

sey and Councilman Fernstrom. VINO

WEAPONS OF WARFARE
Discussed at Yesterdays Session of
Peace Conference.

The Hague, June 22.-The American
demand for the protection of private
property at sea has not yet been pre-
scented to the peace conference. An
drew D. White, head of the American
delegation, on Tuesday requested the
president of the conference, NJ. de
Staal, to submit the question to the
conference, at the same time suggest
ing that the proper way to bring the
matter up for discussion would be TO
assemble a plenary conference, submit
the question and have it referred to
commission for examination. NJ de
Staal has not yet arrived at a decision,
as the American proposal has not been
translated into French.
1t is the general opinion that the
delegates of the great powers are ab
solutely opposed to raising the ques-
ton. arguing the incompetency of the
conference to do so under the terms of
Count Muravieff's circular NJ. de Staal
having declared at the opening of the
conference. with the approval of the
delegates. that under no circumstances
would the conference discuss any ques-
ton not contained in the circular. Sew
eral delegates declare there is little
chance of the question being discussed,
but that if it is discussed, America will
be opposed with the utmost energy by
Great Britain and all the great pow
ers.
a number of delegates are suffering
from mild form of malaria, caused
by the ematations of the canals which
receive the sewage.
Use of Explosives.
After short sessions Of the sub-com-
mittees of war and navy. at which re-
ports by Major General Dendeer Por-
tugael of the Dutch delegation and
Count Zoltyk, the Austrian naval ex-
pert, were respectively adopted, the
first committee met to discuss the
same in the above order. The delegates
declared in favor of any state using
any explosives or new inventions for
ordnance, Russia and Bulgaria alone
refraining from voting.
The question of dumdum bullets was
discussed, Major Sir John Ardagh of
the British delegation declaring that
Great Britain did not desire to use any
projectile Inconsistent with the prin
ciples Of modern warfare. and that
dumdums should only be used against
an uncivilized foe.
The conference finally resolved in ia
vor of prohibiting the use of bullets
which spread or flatten out in the hui
man body. such as explosive bullets,

not entirely cover the point, or bull
lets with an incision. The British and
American delegates alone voted in the
negative.
The use of any new explosives in
projectiles from balloons was prohib
tied for five years.
The question of restraining the in
PRODUCTION of new types of rifles was
deferred.
Count Zoltyk's report was then
taken up. 1t declared that the sub
committee. though unable TO agree re-
garding the proposed abolition of naval
rams. submarine torpedo boats and
the use Of explosives, had declared
against the use of asphyxiating gases.

proved.

locked up the house containing the Mil
Ter furniture and refused to let them
have the key. Miller complained to
the county attorney, it is said, and was
advised to kick in the door and take
his things, which he did, incidentally
smashing a window pane. Prior to
this the warrant for assault and bat

the hands of Officer Davies for service,
and when Miller started to carry out
his things the police were sent for.
They arrived about the same time as
Davies with the warrant. Miller was
arrested and will be heard today His
parting with Mrs. Miller as he went TO

GRAPHOPHONE IN COURT.
Used to Produce Dying Statement of
Murdered Man.

San Francisco, June 22.-In Police
Judge Conlan's court today, a graphic
phone was used TO present a statement
made by George Frederic Trueworthy,
a young man accused of numbering
one J-andsman, during a fight some
weeks ago. The statement was made
by Trueworthy in the presence of wit
nesses. and was also taken by stenog-

The attorneys for the defense argued
against admitting the talking machine,
but the court ordered otherwise, and
the statement issued from the trumpet
in clear. distinct tones. The statement
was a long one, but every word was
understood by the listeners. This is
believed TO be the first instance In
which a recording machine of this
character has been used in q criminal
