Zone point I wish to totlnb upon
is the idea that the present high
school building is to be done away
with. or that the Field buildings are
to be torn down. Neither of these
things Is contemplated. Either the
present high school will be added to
or a North Side high school built to
accommodate the North Side high
school students. The people will have
an opportunity of voting on these
propositions at the coming election.
''rhe idea seems to prevail in some
quarters that the board has become
so enthusiastic that they propose
building way into the future. This
Is not the intention. firmly believe
that every addition asked for is need
ed at the present time and that chill

soon as they are completed"

Taxpayers league, entered strenuous
objection to the plan to bond the
school district for $500, 900, and criti-
cized the proposition to erect brick
buildings in the suburbs.
President Floyd Daggett of the
board of education said today:
''The discussion last night seemed
to hinge on two or three points, on
which some of the gentlemen appear
ed to have made up their minds so
thoroughly that they were disinclin-
ed to allow the board to contradict
their statements.
'They started out with the idea
that our buildings were costing more

instance, they figured that the Nc

THE TRAIN SERVICE
From ST. Louis Is Slowly Working
Back to Normal Conditions.

St. Louis, Mo, June 11.-Exccpt for
west bound traffic, railroad passengers are
not beginning their journeys from the
Union station during the flood time, but
are starting from various points on the
Illinois side of the Mississippi. Western

cally making schedule time.
The Missouri, Kansas Il Texas is run

where it connects with its own track.
The Wabash is running on its own track
to Moberly and then uses the Missouri
Pacific tracks.
FOR the first time in a number of days
the Wabash, last night started out Il
through sleeper for New York. The sleep
or was routed to Moberly and thence to
, Hannibal and on East.
This service will be continued until the
Wabash is running again as usual. The
St Louis, Iron Mountain Il Southern
running south, is uninterrupted by tho
flood.
East bound traffic, however is facing a
different situation. Passengers for the
Chicago Il Alton. burlington. Big -Four

after arriving at Alton by boat. The Bat
timore & ohio Southwestern start THEN
trains from Cone Station. which is reach

diSavowed any responsibility for the

punishment of the perpetrators. The
President, it is believed, will avoid any
official expression that could construc

CRISIS PASSED.
East St. Louis Feels That Worst
Danger Is Over.
But Little if Any Loss Of Life--The
River Is Subsiding.
Train Service from St. Louis Slowly
Being Resumed.

East st. Louis, June 1.-THE crisis
of the Hood situation in this city has
passed. Boat crews which were occu-
pied, yesterday. in rescuing victims of
the flood devoted themselves, today, to
saving property and bringing to higher
ground belated refugees who previously
had not believed themselves in imme-
date danger. With the river station
airy as it is, tonight, at 37.9 feet, the
probability of recession of the river
level and the proven strength of the
Boardway embankment, an extension
of the calamity Is not expected. There
is a. general disposition to accept min
imum reports of loss of life. rather
than the first exaggerated stories. One
prominent undertaken averred that
there had been no loss of life directly
in the flood, although there had beer
deaths due later to the overflow. No
bodies were recovered, today.
