OFFICIALS NOT NOTIFIED.
ACQUISITION of Coaling Station by Al
legged German Company.

The State Department has not been ad-
vised of the reported acquisition of coal
ing station at Water Island, ST. Thomas,
by the Danish Asiatic Company, which
some of the West Indian papers allege is
really the property of a German subsidized
steamship company, and therefore prac-
tically a German government station.
The officials here do not take that view of
these private coaling stations. Several of
the steamship companies operating in West
Indian and South American waters have
coal yards and docks. but these are not ma
tional properties and the State Department
has never yet been advised that in any
case sovereignty over the site of the coal
stations has passed to any European pow
er. Therefore there has been violation
of the Monroe doctrine in letter or spirit,
in the judgment of the officials here

WEST SIDE HIGH SCHOOL
SELECTS REPRESENTATIVES
FOR LEAGUE CONTEST,

The preliminary oratorical -declama-
tory contest held at the West Side high
school last Friday evening was a most
enjoyable affair. A large audience was
present.
The program opened shortly after
o'clock with two enjoyable selections by
the boys orchestra. Then followed five
orations, in the delivery of which the
young orators acquitted themselves very
creditably. Walter DAIMLER was the
first speaker of the evening, his subject
being The Legacy of Grant" Carl
Carlson spoke on The Dangers of the
Present and won third honors The
next speaker was Henry Mueller, whose
subject was "Spartacus to the Roman
ENJOYS He won first honors. Laudi-
mire Coubalfs subject was "Eulogy on
Daniel Webster" He won the second
place. Edwin Clark delivered the ora
tion that brought the first half of the
evening program to close, his subject
being Against Capitalization. Every
one of the five young orators was hearth
ly applauded. The last GRAFTON was
followed by song by the girls glee
club led by Miss Lewis. This song was
much enjoyed by the audience and, like
the selections by the boys orchestra,
contributed much to the success of the
evenings doings.
The last half of the program sustained
the excellence of the first half and the
elocutionary efforts of the declamatory
contestants drew forth the same hearty
spontaneous applause that had been
accorded to the oratorical contestants,
The declamatory battle was opened by
Gretchen knopp, whose subject was
How Deacon Tubman and Parson
Whitney Kept New Year Her effort
was more than merely creditabe The
next speaker was Elda Wenndorf, whose
subjects We're Somebody Did, and
The Raggedy Man" She acquitted
herself very creditably and the judges
awarded first honors to her. Flora Pohl
was the next declaimer, her subject be
ing Ninety and Nine Her effort was
creditaDle. Trick vs.. Trick" was the
selection presented by Lena Hoyer, with
excellent elocutionary effect. Then
| followed a defamation that was ilo, oiieu
to with rapt attention and it became
apparently evident that the young
elocutionist, Marguerite Peil, would
carry off the palm in the girls contest
But she won the second place, Her sub
ject was The Death Disk Elsie
Kieselhorst won third rank, her sub
iects being "Our Hired Girl, and "Al-
most Beyond Endurance, and both
selections were we'll presented. The clos
ing defamation was given by Lnlu
DAIMLER, the title of her selection being
The Going of the White Swan.
The last number on the program was
"a song by the girls glee club. after
which Prin. T. w. Davies announced
the decision of the judges, DR.. Staehle,
DR. Gleason and Miss Bush.
The league oratorical contest takes
place at the Opera house in this city on
the 18th inst and the declamatory con
test of the league will be held at Two
