GO TO SCHOOL
At ( O'CLOCK

School at 8 o'clock in the morning
is the fate to which some of the
high school students are doomed at
the opening of the fall term. This
was decided upon at a meeting of the
school board upon the recommended
tion of Superintendent Tormey in or
der to avoid the necessity of renting
storerooms until the high school addi-
tion has been built.
The plan proposed is to have one
shift of pupils report at o'clock in
the morning and remain until IL
o'clock. The second shift will come
at IL o'clock and remain until 4
o'clock. This will give sessions As
minutes shorter than those of the
last semester, but will comply with
the law requiring four hours session.
At the meeting F. V. Yager was
appointed as assistant to Secretary
Thomas for one month in order to
give the secretary a chance to rest up.
c. G. Phillips of Cleveland, O..
wired that he would be unable to take
the position of instructor in the COM
mercial department and the superin-
tendent was authorized to fill the va
cancy.

LEADERS, BIRTHDAY

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Someone
about the capitol today recalled the
fact that this was the fiftieth birth
day Of Congressman John Sharp Will
liams, the minority leader in the
house and temporary chairman of the
recent democratic national conven-
tion. The word was passed along the
line and the result was that several
messages of congratulation were dis
patched to Mr.. Williams from demo-
cratic leaders who for one reason or
another have been kept in Washing
ton during the dog days.
Mr.. Williams Is considerably
younger than the majority of those
of equal prominence In public life
and his friends are confident that he
Is destined for higher honors than
any yet bestowed upon him. His
leadership OF the democratic minority
and the prominent part he took in
the st. Louis convention have made
Mr.. williams so well known from
one end of the country to the other
that 1t is difficult to realize that his
public career began but little over a
decade ago. Yet such is the fact. his
election to congress In 1892 having
been his first public office.

AS stated yesterday, the board call

This morning the company declared
the tracks were at the established

that If any danger existed 1t was for
the city to reestablish the grade and
remedy the matter at the expense Of
the taxpayers.
The board has referred the matter
to the corporation counsel, who has
already held that the street car COM

headquarters were located in this
city, the work required two floors
on the Wabash avenue side OF the

ton to the Annex, while the store
house and shipping department took
up a business house In Wabash ave-
nue..

been found that more space will be
required than in 1895 or in 1900 A
large part of the parlor floor of the
Annex has been secured. The ship
ping department will have the same
location as four years ago. Prepara-
tions are being made to send out
great quantities of campaign liter
ature. The speech delivered by Elihu
Root as chairman of the convention
will be the first document to be
placed in the hands of voters. 1t
