OFFICER GUARDS
THE HIGH SCHOOL
HE HAS ORDERS TO ARREST
R0WDY STUDENTS
BUILDING DEFACED BY SIGNS
Principal Complains to Police That
Graduates in Celebrating Advent
Into "coIIege Life" Have Be-
come Boisterous

Because recent graduates of the Los
Angeles high school have shown a ten
dency to celebrate their advent into
college life'' by defacing the high
school building on Hill street, it has
become necessary for the police de-
partment to detail a special officer to
guard the building and premises both
day and night.
w. H. Housh, principal of. the Los
Angeles high school, has had occasion
to complain of the rowdy methods en-
ployed by students in celebrating their
graduation. Signs, figures and initials
now mark the doors and walls of the
building, and the faculty think that
it is about time to call halt.
Since the officer has been stationed
at the school, the practice has ceased.
but the first student that resumes it
will be placed under arrest.

There is considerable discussion in
Honolulu as to the political effect of
the election of A. M. Brown, the reg
ular Republican nominee for sheriff,
who was opposed by Governor Carter.
In some quarters 1t is suggested that
1t may possibly lead to the resignation
of Governor Carter.
Several of the Republican leaders
held conference with Governor Car
ter today. and 1t is reported that they
discussed the election, telling the gov
ernor that their support of Brown was
not intended as an opposition to the
governors administration.
Governor Carter will leave for the
mainland June 2S, and he may go to
Washington TO confer with President
Roosevelt.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 22.-The
public, which has no idea that negotia-
tions for. an armistice are on foot, be-
lieves that a great battle in Manchuria
is now beginning, and official dis
patches from both sides bear out the
idea that the Japanese have commenced
their main advance. though as yet there
have been no heavy collisions.
The Japanese. following the checking
of the movement to the west, are now
pushing forward i'm force along the
railroad and the Mandarin and Mainai-
kai roads, their front now stretching
from Singlungehaun, fifteen miles north
of Changtufu, and east through Shuan-
miaotzu station to Yaoma pass on the
Mandarin road,
The Russians are evidently retiring
to their first intrenchments, which are
believed to cross the railroad at Siping-
hal, fourteen miles farther north.
They have a number of other fortified
positions before reaching their ulti-

wearisome and dangerous 1000 mile au-
tomobile trip across the American, con-
tinent, Huss and Wigle, riding in ''Old
Scout" entered Portland at 1 o'clock
today, winning the automobile race
against "Old Steady" whose chauf-
feur, Megargel, is somewhere in east
ern Oregon hurrying toward Portland,
Just forty-four days ago "Old Scout"
and "Old Steady" left New York to
race across the continent with the OBJ
ject of attending if possible the open
ing session of the national good roads
convention. which convened at the
Lewis and Clark exposition grounds
today.
The race across the continent was a
remarkable one. The machines and the
drivers endured great hardships, meet
ing with accidents and obstacles with
out number. Roads constructed un-
der the direction of engineers were
SKINNED over at a wonderful speed in
some sections of the country, while in
other sections it took entire days to
go over a few miles of uncared for and
poorly constructed highways.
The delegates to the good roads con-
vention believe that the race between
"Old Scout" and "Old Steady" will
have a great effect on the missionary
work necessary to put the roads in all
sections of the country in passable
condition.

SOUNDING THE GOVERNMENTS
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-It is inti-
mated in official circles here that nego-
tiations are proceeding looking to an
armistice between Japan and Russia.
The stumbling block in the way of
an armistice appears to be that neither
belligerent is willing to take the initia-
tive. The present negotiations, it is
understood, consist of an effort to sound
one or both governments as to their
willingness to agree to an armistice.
There will be no official announce
ment here regarding the probabilities
of an armistice before the president re
turns, nor is it certain that even then
will there be anything to be made
public.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Chicago, Feb. 2I.-Rigid enforcement
of Chicago's anti-spitting ordinance
which renders those who expectorate on
sidewalks, in public conveyances or in
public places liable to arrest and fine,
led to more than fifty arrests today in
the retail business district Among
those arrested were several business
men from other cities Business men,
clerks. workingmen and messenger boys,
hurrying along, were halted, placed un-
der arrest and locked in jail Many
were dumbfounded at being so quickly
taken from work or leisure and confined
i'll cell. Others expressed indignation,
asserting a "joke had been carried too
far" Some of those arrested were let
off with small fines. some were discharg-
cd without fine and some were released,
giving bond for appearance later. To-
days arrests were the result of an anti
splitting crusade. carried on by Assist
ant Chief of Police Schucttlcr.

EXCITING TIME I'm THE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT

London, Feb, lin moving an
amendment to the address in reply to
the speech from the throne the de-
claration that "the present system OF
government (of Ireland) is opposed to
the will Of the Irish people" John
Redmond, the leader of the Irish par
tys in the house of commons led in an
attack that contained for the conser-
.Yatiye ministry more of menace than
lay in the fiscal debate precipitated by
MIR. Asquith's amendment last week
The Redmond amendment WAS careful
ly calculated, iii fact, to undermine the
government majority, interest in fhe
debate was intensified by well defined
report in the lobbies and which quickly
spread elsewhere that the Earl of Dud-
ley had resigned the lord lieutenancy
of Ireland. This report, which was
given wide credence, put heart in the
3nationalists, who made the attack on
the Earl Of Dudley one Of the features
of their speeches. The debate drew
crowded galleries and peers especially
were noticeable, among them the Duke
of Abercorn, the Marquis of London
derry, the Earl OF / Aberdeen,
the Earl Of Cadogan, the Earl
of Westmeath, the Earl Of Ashburn>
ham and others interested in Ireland
1t was generally believed that the de-
bate would bring out sensational
scene, but while anything of this char
acter was entirely lacking throughout
the afternoon and night sessions the
critical situation coupled with the clev-
er tactics of Irish nationalists, kept the
galleries interested and alert until mid
night. n N ?
A special cabinet meeting has been
summoned to discuss the situation.
