position to issue $4,000 bonds for its
erection, which was voted on yesterday,
was carried by 2,236 majority. A light
vote was polled but every ward in the
city was carried. A large part of the
credit for the success of the bond pro-

An adjourned meeting of the board
of education has been called for Thurs
day night when a site for the school
Will be discussed.
The negroes and white children have
attended the same high school since it
was established in 1886, although there
have been separate grammar schools
for the negroes. There has always been
an unfriendly feeling between the negro
and the white pupils. This feeling was
intensified by the murder OF Roy Mar
tin, high school boy, by Lewis Greg
ory. a negro, at Kerr's park in April.
1904 Gregory did not attend the high
school, but the feeling became so in
tense that school had to be closed for
almost a week.
The board of education did not have
the power to build a separate high
school and last winter the matter was
taken before the legislature. The high
school boys circulated petitions and Sc
cured 1000 signers in one day. The
boys then went to Topeka and after
hard fight secured the passage of a bill
giving the board the power to separate
the races in the high school.
Before this could be done it was nee

GET BIG MAIL CONTRACT.
Rock Island and Southern Pacific
Roads Beat the Santa F1e.


Chicago, June THE Rock Island
made the announcement yesterday
that its Golden State limited train, by
way of Ell Paso and the Southern Pa
cinc to the Pacific coast, will not be
withdrawn from services for the sum-
mer months, as heretofore has been
DONE but will continue to make daily
runs throughout the year.
As there is usually little first class
travel to southern California during
the summer and even the Santa Fe,
with a more northern route, finds it
necessary to run its fast California
limited only twice a week, the action
surprise in railroad circles
Tt now is learned that the Santa Fe
has lost the contract for carrying the
United States mail from Chicago to
southern California and that the Rock
Island and the Southern Pacific rail-
roads have secured the contracts both
from Chicago and St. Louis and south
ern California. To avoid running a
special fast mail train between Chi
cago, st. Louis and Los Angeles the
Rock Island and Southern Pacific con-
cluded it would be a saving of money
to them to continue the Golden State
limited and make it perform the mail
service
This contract is worth several mill
night the Rock Island road carried
$4,000 pounds of mail out of Kansas
City. The postal authorities will con-
tinue all week weighing the mail ship
ped west from Kansas City, and the
result of this weighing will determine
the price to be paid by the govern
ment for the next four years to the
Rock Island and Santa Fe roads for
carrying the mail between Kansas
City and California.

HE DIDN'T DO IT.
Hungarian Minister Didn't Help In
Steamship War.

Budapest. Hungary. June 7.-At a
meeting of the emigration committee
of parliament today, Premier Tisza
declared it was calumnious to assert
that the government connived at Off
cial agents decoying emigrants SO as
to supply shipping companies with a.
certain number of steerage passengers,
and said it was not true that secret
agents were the cause of a large ex-
Odus.-
The German lines the premier add
ed, maintained that 500 of these agents
were principally responsible for the
emigration of So, 600 persons without
passports in 1904 during the fight be-
tween the German lines and the
Cunard line. The activity of these
agents, however, had been partially
frustrated by the recent agreement
between the Cunard company and the
German lines. by which a percentage
of the emigrants can be shipped open
ly by way of German ports.
