THREE SCHOOLS
TO SUFFER DELAY
BOARD WILL AWAIT PROCEEDS
FROM BOND SALE.
The Buildings to Be Delayed Are the
New Lincoln, the Hiawatha and the
Fifth High School-Work ON Remod-
cling Some Other Buildings, Already
Under Contract, Will Be Continued.

Nothing will be done with the pro-
posed Lincoln school in North Mime
apolis, the new Hiawatha school on
Minnehaha avenue and the fifth high
school until revenue from the bond is
sue of 100000 has been received,
whether it be this year or next year.
This was decided by the school
boards committee on buildings and re-
pairs yesterday afternoon. Much re-
was necessary, as additional schools are
badly needed. This is particularly true
with the Hiawatha school which is in
a district that has grown with phenom-
email rapidity. It is more than three
miles between the Minnehaha and
Longfellow schools which is an addi-
tional reason for another school in
that part Of the city. The Longfellow
was overcrowded all last year. The
Lincoln school is to be twelve-room
building and is to benefit section of
school accommodations for years.
1t was decided to continue work on
the additions to the Horace Mann and
the Holland schools, and to install heat
ing plants in both school buildings as
the work had progressed so far that
the board could not stop it now, altho
there will be no funds Immediately

Judge M. B. Koon, for Wells, Dickey
& Co. of this city holds that the cura
tive act authorizing the bond issue is
special legislation and that the bonds
are illegal until the act has been sus
tanned by the supreme court.
The situation is exactly the same as
in the case Of the armory bonds, which
were speedily legalized by the supreme
| court. But each issue of this sort must
| be passed upon by the supreme court

legalized, there will be some delay.

HENNEPIN TALKED OVER
Park Board Wants Full Authority O.
None at All.

Instructions were given by the park
boards committee on improvements at
its meeting yesterday to have esti-
mates made of the cost of maintaining
Hennepin avenue. A petition of a
large number of taxpayers on the thor
ofare was referred to the next meeting
of the park board. In the informal
discussion Of the petition it appeared
that several members of the board did
not believe that the board could com
mand sufficient funds to. enable it to
assume the responsibility for paving the
avenue beyond Lowry HILL where its
the wish that some arrangement could
be made whereby the control of the
avenue would revert to the city council.
A request for permission to string
electric wires across Minnehaha boule-
ward at Nicollet avenue was refused.
This is considered by the park commits
sioners as precedent for like requests
in the future.

Lyceum-The Lady Of Lyons.

Iyceum-The Lady OF Lyons.
The romanticism of eighteenth century
France, expressed in the beautifully
rounded periods of Sir Edward Bulwer-
Lytton by courtly characters carefully
impersonated, makes 'The Lady Of
Lyons" at the Lyceum this week, treat
to theatergoers who have not lost the
power of being interested in the affairs
Of youth and beauty.
The play bears Times stamp of ap-
prevail. It's presentation by the Ferris
stock company is evidently being ap-
proved by the Minneapolis public this
week. In the classic beauty Of the lines
and in the compelling interest of the love
motif, the auditor loses sight of the few
inconsistencies Of the production. He
becomes so interested in the lover that
he forgets that the supposed portrait Of
the loved shown on the stage Is most
inartisttc daub and in his excitement
over the outcome of a duel he is not
offended by the wondrously inadequate
fencing scene between Lawrence Grattan
and Lewis Stone, nor by the anachron-
isms that here and there creep in. AS a
whole, however, the production needs no
excuses and even with less absorbing
plot would be fair to look upon.
Lawrence Grattan impersonates Claude
Melnotte, the peasant hero who masquer-
AIDES as a prince, wins his lady's love,
and after many vicissitudes, holds it as
proof that love hath never known a
law beyond its own sweet WILL His
work in romantic roles is helped greatly
by his beautiful expressive voice and
this French hero suits him well.
Lewis S. Stone has this week eschewed
| the graceful roles that he most favors
and plays with intelligence and ability

| finds it wonderful to think how much

ROBBED A SHOPPER
Trying to Escape, John Higgins Bumped
Against Two Policemen.

Confused by the screams of a dozen
women, John Higgins blundered and ran
Hawkes. Yesterday after he had robbed
Mrs. P. j. O'Brien Of Hopkins in
NicOllet avenue store.
AS Mrs. O'Brien was making. pur-
chase, Higgins opened her shopping bag
and removed her purse, containing So.
He was caught in the act, and ran, pur--
sued by Mrs. O'Brien and several
clerks. The officers were passing on
the other side Of the street and Hig--
gins ran against them. He was locked
up, charged with grand larceny. Little
is known Of Higgins, altho he has been
arrested on a minor charge before.
The Bertillon records show that Hig-
gins was arrested for larceny in St.
Louis five years ago. He was shown
the picture taken of him at that time,
and admitted that he had a police rec
ord. He was arraigned in police court
today and will have an examination to-
morrow.

The Position Of the United States.

Premier Balfour at the banquet given
to the new American ambassador,
Whitelaw Reid, intimated that the
United States could not always main
tain it's position of stately isolation in
its purity. $50 great nation,' he
said, owing so much and giving so
much to the civilization of old Europe,
sharing its learning and advancing it's
Escience, can hardly expect to share all
these things and yet take no part
whatever in the political life which is
fan inseparable element of them.'
The British prime minister would ap-
iparently lure us on to embroil ourselves
with European alliances and secret
streaties, but he should be able to give
fus more potent reasons before he ex-
fpects America to fly into the arms of
5any European coalition. The United
States differs widely in policy from
tmost European states in the fact that it
has designs on none of it's neighbors

tack from without or upheaval from
within. This country, on the contrary,

farmament, what there is of it, is built
Eupon the theory of defense.
Generally speaking, this country is
willing and ready to do it's share to adj
vance civilization, but it does not yet
believe that alliances are necessary to
that work. In fact, it is we'll assured
that a great part of it's strength in the
present crisis of the world s affairs is
due to the knowledge that it has no
alliances. China, Japan and Russia
equally trust the good intentions of this
country, and they equally distrust the
attitude of every European country
In view Of these facts, it is little I'M
gracious of Mr.. Balfour to allude tc
our isolation. The fact is, we are moi
isolated but are the center Of the hopes
of those the world over who are pray

The Increase of Murder.

t, The world has advanced over a long
course since the public execution of
criminals was spectacle for men, wo-
men and children. Today we hide our
executions in the dead watches Of the
might, prescribe by law who shall be
there and limit as far as possible what
the public journals shall say Of them.
Even with these mysteries thrown
Iabout them, executions are revolving to
! the sensibilities of the community. We
do not even want to hear about what
many are bound to stigmatize as "ju-
dicial murder.''
Particularly is the community at
large stirred when it hears that wo-
man is to be hanged. The country is
uneasy over the proposed judicial kill
ing Of Mrs. Rogers, the Vermont muir
deress. There is no pretense that she
is not a cold-blooded slayer, but never
stheless the public maintains it's sensi-
tive opposition to the killing of
"a woman, and the governor of
sthe state, in spite Of his avowed de-
termination to let the law take it's
sscourse, has three times reprieved her
Eat the foot of the gallows. Many peo-
jple are Of the opinion that Governos
BELL will finally rid himself Of the prob
lem by committing her sentence to
life imprisonment. The governor will
sthus acknowledge that the sentiment
against hanging a woman, who under
AAe law richly deserves it's extreme
severity, is too much for him.
This is one side Of the picture. But
on the other is the array Of figures

gument against the extension Of the

was 1908. In 1904 it had risen to S,4S2
Meanwhile, the number of executions
for murder had remained about station
ary-10S in 1885 and 116 in 1904.
From these facts Mr.. Taft argued
that murder and all felonies are on the
increase, and will continue to increase
until the criminal laws are enforced
with more uniformity and severity thar
they are now.
Mr.. Taft evidently believes that thu

TRIED TO ESCAPE
Prisoner Accused of Burglary Tells Pc.
lice He Was Joking.

Adrian Hyler, awaiting trial on a
charge Of burglary, made two attempts
yesterday to escape from the central
police station, where he was detained.
Early in the morning he removed all
the plumbing in his cell, hoping to be
able to escape thru the hole in the back
where the pipes enter. He found, how
ever, that the hole was entirely too
small, SO, setting the fixtures back in
place, he waited for another oppor-
tunity.
This came when the prisoners filed
past the captain s door on their way to
court. Hyler, spying the open door,
darted thru it toward the open corridor.
He had taken but few steps, however,
when he was grabbed by Captain Sin
claire.
cit was only a joke to test your
nerve,' explained Hyler. The pris-
oner is now confined in the county jail.

William as a Buffer.

The relations between Germany and

delicate for many years than they have
been during the past week. In order

France and England in seeking to ap-

In making a new distribution among
themselves of advantages and ''rights"
in Morocco, France and Great Britain
failed to even formally notify Germany
of the existence Of this agreement,
which is regarded by Germany as
serious violation Of diplomatic courte-
sy, to say the least. 1t appeared to
Germany as an attempt to ignore her
and to place her in an isolated position.
Coming in connection with the Anglo
French understanding, or alliance, 1T
was quite natural that the German war
lord should resent the effort to make
it appear as if the consent or opinion
of Germany were matter Of no con-
