SCHOOL is GROWING RAPIDLY

The school children of Highland
Park had full possession of parents In
that neighborhood yesterday, and all
afternoon mothers and friends crowded
the school rooms.
The occasion was the first annual ex-
hiblt given by the Highland Park
school and the teachers also anticipated
the closing of school one week and held
exercises at the same time.
There is probably no school in Los
Angeles which has had such a phe-
nomenal growth during the past year
At the closing of the last school term
three classes held sessions in a three
room building and about 100 pupils
were enrolled. In the new building
there are at present nine rooms in use
not including the sloyd and cooking
rooms, and the enrolment is almost
four times that Of the same period a
year ago.
The exhibition included work of the
different grades with special attention
devoted to sloyd cooking and sew
ing. Flags, ferns and flowers were
used in rooms and halls to add to the
gala appearance, and the blackboards
were hidden beneath sketches, compost
tion books and models of class work
Exercises were held in many of the
rooms, but it was in the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades that greatest inter-
est centered.
The sixth grade and part of the fifth
and seventh, under the direction of
Misses Bessie Crandall and Mamie
Brainard, gave the most elaborate ex-
ercises, and some of the numbers were
given in quaint costume.
The exercises We're opened with a
song by the school and throughout the
program music was given by the va
rious classes. Nanon Welch and Ma
thalie Cole. dressed as two shy little
country lassies, gave a dialogue, and
Dorothy, Beatty in gypsy garb sat over
a cauldron and told the fate of the
class in verse as the magic mixture in
the pot revealed its charms.

the direction of Miss Jessie Perry, gave
several selections. members of the class

Two days of work in ten years.

But forty-eight hours Of labor in a

is now seeking a divorce.
The story told of the Mexican resi-

never having done lick of work, was
almost duplicated yesterday in Judge
James court by the tale of Mrs Mary

The couple were married in Missouri
in 1900. At that time, according to the
testimony, Montgomery was alleged to
have said he would be worth 100000

says he refused to row out and meet
the vessel and as a result she was com

Her Husband a Politician
A short time ago the woman moved
to Los Angeles, and yesterday told the
story of her short married life in a
way that left no room for doubt as to
the working character of her husband.
my husband was a politician" testi-
fed Mrs. Montgomery. What kind of
a one?" asked Judge James. The wo-
man seemed unable to tell of the exact
character of her husbands political ac-
complishments, but her sister, who took
the stand, knew more of the case.
MRS. Mont gomery's husband was a
sort of politician" testified the sister.
"He was just one of those persons who
walk around the street talking to all
who will listen. He once told me ne
had worked only two days in the past
ten years and If the Lord would for
give him for that he would never do it
again.
Following that testimony the decree
was Immediately granted.

UNUSUAL SCENE
 IN ARKANSAS HOUSE.

The Arkansas house of repre- sentatives was the scene of an unusual occurrence yesterday, says tke Arkansas Gazette, when an aged darkey was called to the bar of the house and given a present and allowed the privi- leges of the floor to express his gratitude. The darkey was Char ley Goodwin, better known as "Marse Charles," who for the past three sessions has performed the responsible function of shin- ing the shoes of the members. A collection was taken for him and S6 in nickels and dimes was raised in a few minutes. Shortly after the house was called to order Representative Chapline of Monroe county arose to a ques- tion of personal privilege. Good win was then brought to the clerks desk and the gift pre- sented.
 MT. Chapline referred feeling ly to his long acquaintance with "Marse Charles, " who looked after him as a servant in Lonoke county when the representative was a boy. He praised the fdel- ity of the recipient and alluded to the fact that he had been a lifelong Democrat and expressed the hope that he would return to the house many more sessions.
 Goodwin good-naturedly called 'Mr. Speaker" and, making a most profound bow, expressed his thanks in a manner that left no doubt as to it's genuineness. He concluded by asking all in the house to join him in singing T Am Bound for the Promised Land," which was done.
 At the conclusion Speaker Cate remarked that he hoped no ad- verse criticism would be made by the northern press of a Dem- ocratic house of representatives expressing it's appreciation of the services of a darkey.

dred and eighty thousand of this amount has been subscribed, and the citizens of the termini are confident that the road will be built. The road is to be ninety miles in length, and will cross the Arkansas river at Pine Bluff. It is the intention of the pro- motors to secure the co-opera- tion of Pine Bluff citizens after the plans have been completed for constructing the line.
 The meeting Tuesday night was secret on account of the fact that an effort is being made by citizens of Pine Bluff and Lonoke to construct a road be- tween those two cities, and one road will conflict with the other.

CanVllle. N,ay
 message was received yesteraav by Sheriff Briggs that mob was being formed in the county for the purpose of lynching James Ince, who murdered his wife and three children.
 Sheriff Briggs and Deputy Tatum proceeded at once to the livery stable and got rig and carried Ince out of town some where. The impression got out that the prisoner was taken to Little Rock for safe keeping, and the mob did not come to town.
 Thursday was the day set for hanging Ince here, but his attor- neys took the matter to the su- preme court only a few days ago and finally succeeded in getting a stay of execution until the court could look into the matter.
 The citizens of the community where the crime was committed are very much wrought up over the delay in the execution, and it is feared that mob violence will prevail if the present state of feeling continues long.

2 THE LEGISLATURE. ! p~%NNHN~N~~/NNNNNA<

The bill increasing the salary of the sheriff of Sharp county from S1,80O to $2,000 year was passed just before the close of the session.
 While speaking on the $4,000 appropriation to the Southern Cotton association Senator Kil- tough said that it was buncombe with a big B. The association, he said, gave more correct infor- nation to Wall street about the condition than it did any good. The appropriation was finally defeated.
 The members of the senate held a caucus Wednesday night and selected Senator John P. Lee of Clarendon for president pro tenn, who under the constitution becomes lieutenant governor of Arkansas. He was elected on the 'second ballot, receiving 19 votes. Amis of Cleveland re- ceived 9 and Senator Thompson 6 votes. Senator Lee is 36 years of age and represents Arkansas and Monroe counties, and is one of the most prominent attorneys in Eastern Arkansas.
 Referring to the convict Ques- tion the committee recommends that the present lease system under which the state leases the convicts be abolished and the present contracts cancelled when they expire and the convicts worked ''for account of the state." In regard to the treat ment of the convicts the commit tee has little to say other than what was already brought to light by the special Investigating com mittee, but it is believed that the conditions as recently found were the result of negligence on the part of the board, and the con- mittee recommends that it take the trouble to visit the farm and different convict camps in the state each month and look into the affairs existing there. The penitentiary should, the commit tee says, be managed like the state charitable institutions and be made a pride and source of revenue to the state.

SENATOR KILLOUGH
 HAS HIS INNING.

Little Rock, May 4. .-R1slng to a point of personal privilege in the senate yesterday afternoon, and defending himself against accusations and insinuations made by Gov. Jeff Davis in a message to the general assembly some time ago, in which the ex- ecutive pleaded for the defeat of the St. Francis levee bill and parenthetically accused the sen- ator from Cross of trying to name a board who would elect him president, Senator o. N. Killough denounced in the most scathing terms the chief eXecu- tive of the state, referring to the accusations as "cowardly at- tacks," and 'as black as hell itself"
 He then reviewed the bill he had offered, showing what it would have meant for the citi- zons of the levee affected, and then taking up the list of ap- pointees of the governor, de- clared that there were seven di- rectors who had never paid cent of taxes in the district. He emphatically denied that he had attempted to name the board, and declared that his name had never been on it, and even after the senate insisted upon an amendment placing him as one of the directors he had pro- tested.
 One of the directors recently Appointed by Davis was stand ing in the lobby at the time of the bitter arraignment, and Sen ator Killough pointed to him as a 'Dago saloon-keeper." 5" T h e power behind the faction that defeated the bill was two land syndicates, he declared. Until now he had kept quiet, but now at the close of the session he felt that he would be untrue to him. self to remain so longer.
 -~ Once Davis had called hi@- into the executive chamber and said to him that unless he cast his vote for the McFerrin bill, a measure similar to the peniten- tiary bill that was defeated, that he (Davis) would ''veto every d-n one of your levee bills, :" and The has never signed a bill for me yet. In the six years of my service in the two branches of government here the governor has never signed bill that l have had passed. Is this being a governor?"

THE WRONG TO ARIZONA.

Incidentally it should be pointed out that the area of the two territories ex- ceeds 2S5,000 square miles, which would make a state second only to Texas, and nearly four times the size of all New England. This alone ar gues against the proposed measure, respecting both the wsdom and jus tice thereof. But the force of the argument rests, after all. upon the point that the politicdI sponsors show absolutely no consideration for the wishes of the people, a position entire ly unworthy of the Indiana senator who fathers the measure; whose writ ings concerning higher ideals and the like have fascinated so many readers. Of course consistency is not requisite to a politician; but sincerity in ques- tions of ethics is a cardinal requisite for one who would act as a progress i've statesman with the welfare of the people at heart. The treatment of the people of Arizona by the proposed measure is such that it would scarcely reflect credit upon a local boss" Political sagacity alone would prevent a ward leader from such a step, not 10 speak of political ethics. Fancy the future prospects of a community that has built up a commonwealth under the tacit promise of an act of Congress 40 years old that it should be given statehood when it desired and demonstrated its fitness, to be forcibly joined to a community practically alien in language and customs. but sufficiently numerous to dominate in all matters of importance to it's wei fare! They would surely not merit statehood and might even be classed as un-American. if they permitted such a wrong to be done them without serious protest. They have protested and well-nigh unanimously. Shall mere political eXigency be permitted to serve as valid excuse for this un- just measure? Have the people of Arizona no rights that Congress is bound to respect?

GOOD WORDS FOR ARIZONA

The United States Investor. one of the strongest journals in the United States, commenting on the Presidents message relative to Joint Statehood says:
 There is equal lack of thorough con sideration given to some questions more largely political in their nature. Thus in the procurement upon the subject of statehood for the territo- ries he manifestly follows the lead of certain political associates who. we fear. have succeeded in deceiving him upon the real issue. The proposed measure, defeated in the last Congress, provides for the admission of Oklaho- ma and Indian Territory as one state and of New Mexico and Arizona as another. With the first of these we have no concern, since the people af- fected practically all favor it; but the people of both New Mexico and Arizo- na are opposed to the merger of the two into one commonwealth. The un- deriving reasons for the scheme, which is to be pushed by Senator Beyeridgc and Representative Hamilton In the respective houses, are purely partisan; Oklahoma would choose two Democrat ic senators, and provision must be made for two Republican members of the upper house to offset the gain. New Mexico, if admitted alone, would give this result, for the territory has a majority on the Republican side; Arizona is Democratic. But the req sons for objecting to the admission of New Mexico alone are the same that have existed for several decades; mak- ing state of this territory was pro posed as early as 1861 and periodical ly ever since; it has always been un- successful because the population, while sufficient in number, is so large ly Spanish-Mexican-In that it has been deemed unwise. The customs and even laws are affected by this condition; the illiteracy is very mark ed; interpreters are necessary in most of the courts and at times even in the local legislature. To neutraliZe this Arizona, whose population is suffi- ciently large to entitle it to separate statehood, and is almost entirely com posed of people from the states with Anglo-Saxon customs and laws, is to be joined with New Mexico. Neither the people of the latter nor those of

CHRISTMAS IN STRANGE PLACES.

One of the strangest Christmas cele- brations in this country has taken place for the last few years at the very gateway of the land of freedom. in the big immigration building on Ellis Isl and, through which all the wOuld-be citizens of the United States who come over in the steerage, must pass.
 Many of these immigrants, coming as they do from the country districts of France, Germany, Russia, Italy and Spain, have never had the luxury of a Christmas tree in their homes. Christmas" meant so little to them beyond the abstract story of the find ing of the child in the manager, learned in the churches. So Christmas" to many of them comes as new revela- ton each year at Ellis Island.
 This celebration is not for the relig- ious alone; it is not merely a period
