oNE-sToRY SCHOOLS SUGGESTED.
The executive committee OF the Board of
Education recommended yesterday for
election by the board Miss Julia Rchman
Tor district superintendent.
u think it only right that the Hebrews
should have 9 representative among the
twenty seven district superintendent.
though wish some other member had
brought up the point as l be long to that
race" said Commissioner Mack.
Mr.. Adams of the building committee
wanted to know what the executive COM
mittee thought about building schools one
story high to meet the great increase in
the school population. He said that build
ing materials were soaring in price and
| it took very long time, anyway. to con-
struct a new entire school. His plan was
| to put one-story structures on the founda-
tons that had got no further because OF
the strikes and 10 buy new sites and put
up large number of one-story. buildings;
Several Of the members discussed the
proposition favorably, with the idea
| that when the building strikes are over
and the price Of building material comes
| down, the new schoolhouses might be run
UP to the usual height. A schoolhouse
| which cost $500 ten years ago now costs
! $3.50 900, Mr.. Lummis said.
City Superintendent Maxwell reported
that the largest schoolhouse in the world
will be opened next week in East Houston
| street. It will seat 5000 pupils and will
lower the part time total by 10000

The President tho Only Judge.

An error of fact and law which is preva-
lent at the present time wherever the
error suits a particular theory, finds
place in the usually careful columns OF
our neighbor, the New York Times:
The Hay .Herfan Treaty has six days Of life left.
On Tuesday next the limit Of time for Its ratification
will have expired. Under the terms OF the Spooner
amendment Il will then be the duty of the President
TO negotiate treaties with Nicaragua and Costa
Rlca and proceed with tho construction Of canal
from, GreytOwn to Drtso."
The terms OF the Act Of June %, 1902,
described by our neighbor as the Spooner
amendment, do not make it the Presi-
dents duty to proceed on Wednesday
- next or Immediately thereafter to ne
rotiate treaties with Nicaragua and
- Costa RIGA for canal from Greytown to
Brito. One link Of the chain OF require
ments is ignored by those who say or
suppose that such is the case.
The date when the President shall turn
from Panama to Nicaragua is left by the
law to his own judgment of what con-
stitutes "a reasonable time. II he
thought that twelve months or even
eighteen months more constituted no,
unreasonable expenditure of time in
order to secure possession OF the superior
route, he could legally delay that long the
beginning of the negotiation for control OF
: the inferior route The Times and Other
observers might consider the delay un'
reasonable, but under the terms OF the
act the President is the sole judge.
That the word reasonable in the ac
means reasonable in the President
view is twice distinctly stated in thu
phrases subjoined:
upon such terms he may deem reasonable.
section 2
Upon terms which he may consider reasonable.
y .Srthon 4.
This shows clearly whose Judgment ii
70 determine the meaning Of reasonable
whether as to time or as to terms.

DUTY ON ARMY SUPPLIES.
Philippines Government Directs That They
De subjected to Regular Tariff.

De Subjected to Regular Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-In telegram
to the War Department, received to-day,
Gov. Taft says that the Philippines Govern
ment has directed that army supplies re-
ceived in the Philippines should be sub
jected to regular duties. This action was
taken upon the representations and pro-
tests Of merchants at Manila and elsewhere
who maintained that they were unable to
make any sales to the army because, owing
to tho fact that no duty was assessed or
goods for the Government. the miIitary
authorities found it cheaper TO buy them
in the United States and bring them TO the
Philippines on army transports.
The War Department, while it has not
given any official expression Of its views on
the subject. approves the course OF tho
Philippines Government. The only appar-,
ent effect of the change will be to compel
the military authorities in the Philippines
to buy from local dealers at higher prices
than have heretofore been paid for the same
goods brought in the United States and i'm
ported free. The money paid by the army
on imported supplies will be covered into
the Philippines treasury

WHY FRANCHISE TAXES WAIT

the Law Is Clear.

Corporation Counsel Rives said yesterday
that no effort has been made to collect
the taxes imposed under the special fran.
chise tax law on railroad companies be-
cause the validity Of the assessment IL In
litigation. The defendants are solvent;
and whereas the city, If it collected tho
tax now, would have to pay back the money
with o per cent. interest should the tax
he lnvaidated, it will collect the tax with
7 per cent. interest at the end OF the litigs-
ton should the taxes be validated
Mr.. Rlves explains also that the claims
against traction companies for privileges
OF crossings, for the licensing Of cars and
for the cost of repairing the streets between
the car tracks are aiso dependent upon
the settlement of points Of law which have
been raised.

BICYCLISTS KILLED

Cambridge. Mass, May 30.-Harry
d. Elkes of Glens Falls, n. Y, the
premier motor-pace follower of the
United States, was killed, and VIII
Stinson, almost as well known as a
bicyclist as Elkes, and F. A. Gately, a
motor steersman, were seriously in
jured in an accident at the initial hi
cycle meeting on the Charles-river
Park track today.
The accident occurred In the first lap
of the sixteenth mile of motor-paced
race, and was due to the bursting of
the rear tire of Elkes' wheel at point
where the track bank Is at an angle OF
about SO degrees.
Fixes tried to stop his machine. and
in doing so was thrown over the han
dle-bars, turning complete somer-
sault, and, with his wheel, rolled down
the steep embankment in front OF
Stinson's motor, which was manned by
Gately. The heavy motor struck Elkes,
throwing Gately and the machine COM
pletcly over him, and Stinson. who was
following, crashed into the wreck.
At the time of the accident Elkes was
well in the lead, having made new
worlds records for the FIVE, ten and if
teen miles. The injured men were
picked up and sent TO tho hospital,
Elkes dying on the way.

BEET SUGAR FACTORIES

San Francisco, May 26.-The beet
sugar factories in Southern California
are getting ready for operations. Those
of the extreme south, at OXnard and
IL the vicinity of Los Angeles, will
open up on July l and will have big
crops to work. That section Of the
country Fas been particularly favored
by the clements and has yielded big
returns. The output this year for the
Spreckels refinery at jacksonville will
be very small. This is due to the fact
that Mr.. Spreckels and the growers
had a disagreement last year and the
farmers. instead of putting in beets
this season, laid their grounds out In
apples and berries.
The sugar season Of the Islands is
about two-thirds over and sugar from
this time On is a commodity which will
be in demand. The canning season is
about to open, and in this considerable
of the saccharine article Is used, as
well as in the homes in putting up
fruit.

WORTHLESS TIMBER LANDS.

Tacoma, Wash, May 15.-Everett
men have lost several thousand dollars
on timber claim locations in What
com county which they thought would
cut from 100000 to 100000 feet each
OF good fir and cedar. They paid from
5000 to $500 each to cover locating fees
and other expenses. When they came
to look up the timber recently they
found that some of the claims con-
tanned only a few struggling frs.
The claims were mostly located by a
former real estate dealer at Everett
who said he had inside knowledge Of
valuable timber lands that had been
overlooked by cruisers for the lumber
companies who are usually very alert
to pick up any good claim In sight.
Several Of the losers at Everett are
said to have mortgaged some Of their
property to obtain money for the pay
ment of the location fee and provide
funds for subsequently purchasing the
land outright from the Government.
Even a former partner OF the timber
locator was sold claim on which he
found six trees. The locator has since
vanished.
During the past three years thou
sands Of valuable timber claims have
been located but the decreasing sup
ply has created an opportunity for a
number Of swindles like that prac-
ticed at Everett.
