NEW SCHOOLS ENTERED
PLAN OF STARS ART COMPETI-
TON EXPLAINED.

Teachers of the eleventh division of the
public schools were called together yester-
day at $3.50 O'Clock pm. by DR.. Henry
Bailey, the newly appointed supervising
principal. to take action in regard to The
Stars art competition. The meeting oc-
CURED at the John f. Cook building and
was in many respects the most interesting
meeting yet held.
DR.. Bailey had not had any previous
meeting of the teachers and had not out
lined to any of the principals of buildings
the motives and means of the competition
as had been explained to the supervising
principals at a meeting some weeks ago.
He preferred that the whole matter be
placed before the teachers by The Stars
director for the competition.
Many questions were asked by teachers,
whose enthusiasm has been more or less
bottled up since the beginning of the con-
test. All the points in regard to combina
lions, methods of sending in coupons and
the rulings as to methods which have been
made from time to time In the paper were
covered. DR.. Bailey presented the matter
to the teachers from the educational point
of view, and requested each principal to
enter into the contest and manage the in
dividual campaigns according to directions
and with zest.
The picture OF the Poyhymnia. published
yesterday as one of the casts to be eyhib-
tied at The Star Office before the close of
the week represents a magnificent cast five
feet eleven inches high. which has been Sc
lected as the first number of collection No.
2, for which all schools containing twelve
rooms or more. not including high schools.
manual training schools and normal
schools, are eligible.
Original in the Louvre.
The original of this figure in marble is
now in the Louvre; at one time the statue
was in the Villa Borghese. Only the lower
half is said to be antique, the remainder
being restored by Augustine Penna from
bas-relief on a sarcophagus in the capitol.
1t represents the muse of Serious sacred
song In a mood of calm reflection. Too
much praise cannot he bestowed u-o1 the
dignity of the countenance and the eX-
qulSlte management lne dI.t .cI'y.
AS much enthusiasm was created last
night by the records of The Star school art
competition, which were thrown upon the
screens. by the election returns them
selves. The record of every school which
has entered the contest, and they are now
reaching near the hundred mark, was
shown with the number of votes since last
Sunday, and also the total vote. Not less
appreciative were the pictures of the casts
themselves.
New schools to be entered in the effort for
decoration since the last report are the fol-
lowing: Eastern High School, Corcoran,
Douglass Abby S. Simmons and Ross. The
Ross building is not yet ready for occu-
pancy, but its schools have been organized,
and its prospective pupils do not intend to
be left out of the race.

At first Dodson declared It was In

Seeing the uselessness Of holding out

Dodson says he and Ingram planned
the murder Of the old miner. while
they were cutting wood In the heavy

common belief OF tbs district that Dun
lap had considerable gold. as he hal
previously mined in Colorado and
Alaska, and those who mined with him
said Dunlap had done well. Az he
had little money in the bank, the con.
ciusion was reached that he had his
gold buried about his cabin. 1t was
10 get this gold that murder was done.
