Salem, Nov, 4.-Superintendent
of Public Instruction J III Acker-
man has rendered the following de-
cision, which declares THAT the re-
sidence of the parent or guardian
rather than the place where the
pupil is enumerated, determines the
place where child is entitled to
attend school without paying
tuition.
"School boards shall admit free
Of charge to the schools Of their re-
spective districts all persons between
the ages of 6 and 81 whose parents
or guardians reside in such districts
at the time of making application
for free admittance to such schools;
even though such persons may have
been at the last enumeration legally
enumerated in some other district.
This ruling will make a change
in the practice in this state, for it
has been generally held that if a
child is enumerated in one district
and school money is drawn from
him there he cannot attend else
wherewithout paying tuition.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 5.-Pe-
ter Ivor, of Wilmer, in East Koot-
enay, was lost in the mountains for
nearly a week, and when found
was nearly insane. He was almost
naked, was badly frostbitten and
had been without food for nearly
five days. He had to have four of
the toes of the left foot amputated.
The searching party found him
quite close to creek, under some
logs, with his head resting on a
rock. He was lifted onto a horse,
but was so weak that he had to be
held On all the way to Wilmer.
Thanks to a splendid constitution,
however he is likely to weather the
hard ships.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 5.-The elec-
ton yesterday proves to have been
much more Of a Republican land
slide than the reports last night
indicated. The Republican state
ticket has carried the state by a
majority close to 600. Burton L
French, for Congress, has little
larger majority, and some of the
candidates will fall a little less, but
as rule the ticket went through
straight. The Republicans have
18 of the Fl members of the Senate,
and 35 of the 46 members of the
House. This gives them a total of
35 on joint ballot of IA for the Dem
ocrats.
This result disposes Of all the
Democratic candidates for Senator,
and brings the Republican aspi-
rants into prominence. These are:
W E Borah, of Boise; Judge D w
Strandrod, of Poe atella; w B Hey
burn, of Wallace, and ex-senator
George L Shoup.

1NHUMAN TREATMENT
For United States Navy Officials IL
Venetian Prison.

Washington Special.
Much light is thrown on one of the fea
lures of last winters Venetian incident
which has heretofore beeT. obscure, by q
letter published prominently in The Army
and Navy Register.
1t will be recalled that after the Ital
ian Government, as an "act of grace,
had released the American naval officers
who had been summarily treated by the
local authorities, Admiral Crowinshield
Investigated the matter and determined
that no courtmartial was warranted by
any of the offenses alleged by the Vene.
tan authorities His report on the Incl
dent was promptly made public by the
Navy Department. and the italian Gov
eminent at first took vehement exception
to some of the Admirals statements, and
especially to the remark that all the Of
ficers suffered revolving indignlties during
the period of confinement. Admiral
Crowninshield was emphatically sustained
by the administration, however. and Ital-
ion wrath suddenly subsidized, for reasons
from which the TO lowing extract is
taken:
when in Europe this summre l took
occasion to make special inquiry regard
ing the ground for the statement of Rear
Admiral Crownnshield that the officers
of the Chicago in their confinement had
undergone treatment such as Is unknown
IN the case OF IIle lowest CrlIllHdl III Ouk
own country.
The details of the horrors and discom-
forts visited on our naval Offices when
they become known from those who suf-
fered them, or those who heard of them
are calculated to arouse a good deal OF
Indignation. The one room in which all
the officers and men were confined was
vermin-ridden. 1t was possible to bring
in food from an adjoining hotel % that
the prisoners were preserved from the
fare of the institution, but their provis-
ions were no delivered than they
were attacked by Inc pests of the place
and it was necessary to stand each leg
Of the table in a pail of water to discour-
age the invasion of the vocarious insects
Our officers and men were denied the
use of knives and forks. and the wooden
spoon which was allowed to each as the
solitary article of tableware, was rem
dered unfit for use on account of the
filth. The prisoners used their fingers in
preference to the spoon furnished them
The room was absolutely devoid of sani-
tary arrangements, and the attention OF
an attendant was so seldom accorded the
occupants and their necessities. that il was
n wonder when one hears of the situa-
ton, that they were not all made ILL., The
inhuman treatment was worse than a
civilized world would imagine possible In
this age.
when | heard the whole story OF the
sufferings of the officers and men of the
Chicago during their confinement at Ven
ice, | accepted Rear Admiral Crownin-
shields criticism as mild in its justice"
