SCHOOL GROUND PLANS
Submitted BY Park Board Engineer
to School Board School Ad-
ditions Decided Upon.

Engineer Nutter OF the park board pre-
sented plans for the beautifying of eight
Of the public school grounds to the board
OF education at Its special meeting last
evening The work Of preparing the plans
has been done by Mr.. Nutter in accord
ance with an agreement between the park
board and the school board to expend equal
tamounts annually for the Improvement of
| the school yards Eventually the plan
will Include every schoolhouse in the CITY,
The board decided In favor of an addi-
ton to the Bryant school and will spend
about 900 for this purpose. 1t was at
first deemed wisest to use the money In
| the enlargement Of the Horace Mann
school, as that would accommodate hum
dreds Of pupils now in the Bryant school
district who live nearer to the Horace
Mann building; but after mature delibera-
ton the decision was made In favor of
the Bryant school.
The contract for rebuilding the Whit
tier. school was annuIled on petition Of Mr..
| Raidt, who held the contract. He ex-
planned that he had made mistake Of
$1,000 in his figures. The contract was
thereupon awarded to j. E. Pilgrim, the
next lowest bidder.
The janitors and other employees Of the
board were voted a holiday for June IL
when they purpose to give a picnic. Per-
mission was given to the James Bryant
post to present a flag to the Margaret
Fuller school. The exercises were held
this afternoon. A. T. Benson of Grand
Seward school to succeed Mr.. Farmer, who
has resigned to enter business.
The list Of teachers are in the, hands
of the members Of the board to-day and
will be approved soon. There are remark
ably few changes.

MINNESOTA VS.. WISCONSIN
Intercollegiate Debate Will Take
Place in cur Chapel Tonight.

Positively the last announcement Of the
intercollegiate debate between Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, was published yester-
day. The struggle will take place this
evening at the university chapel.
Several postponements Of the contest
have resulted from the inability of the
managers to obtain judges Minnesota is
ever SO enticing, on the rostrum, Wiscon-
sin is such a Lorelei, that many oratorical
experts have confessed that they must de-
eide in favor Of both states. For this
reason the managers could not secure
Judge Beaver of the Iowa supreme court,
nor Former Governor Boies of the Hawk
eye state. Frank O.. Laldon of the Chi
cago Civic federation was satisfied that
each university would surpass the other.
Judge Amidon of Fargo expressed SIM
liar conviction. But two residents of ST.
Paul. alumni respectively Of the univer-
stiles, helped the managers to enlist
Judge G. Smith of West Superior, Presi-
dent Merrifield of the North Dakota uni
versity, and Judge G. B. Elliott Of Mime
apolis.
The question; to be answered irrevoc-
ably is: Shall the state government or
the federal government, have the exclu-
sive right to enforce a tax inheritance
law?" Minnesota will support the state
and defy the nation.

TR0CADERo BURLEsQUERs
They Are Giving Lively Show at tn
Dewey Theater This

Dewey Theater This
Week.
Good burlesques. burlesques the lines and
situations Of which contain humor, are
scarcer than the proverbial snowballs at
the equator. The comedians Of the New
Trocadero Burlesquers, at the Dewey the
alter this week, deserve credit for their
earnest efforts to pick a little meat of
amusement from the dry bones Of the two
sketches, Prince Henry's Reception, .
and The School Of Love- Indeed their
success Is remarkable, when the handicap
placed upon them by the author is con-
sidered.
However, if the burlesques are uninter-
estlng In themselves, some of the spec
ialties interpoated are enjoyable. The
staircase band, and Mabel Hableman's
song, Heart of My Heart" in the first
sk1t, deserve mention. The costumes
and chorus work are fully up to the
average.
John T. Powers, comedian, heads the
oilo. His turn is not marked by great
originality. He made a hit with Gus Pix
leys song, For Thee The three Her
bert brothers present one Of the best
acrobatic turns seen this year. Carrie
Massoney, soprano, and Mabel Hable-
man, contralto, Won generous measure
OF applause by their songs Both have
voices of excellent quality, Miss liable
mans being especially powerful.
Larry Smith and Mabel Champion gave
a pleasing comedy sketch, After the
Opera The comedy quartet, Messrs,
Conlan, Ward. Dobbs and Leigh, have a
turn OF more than usual merit, and the
comedy acrobats, Kelly and Reno, are one
or the best features Of the show
