Little san francisco Pur-
sue Their Studies in the Park.
San Francisco's summer vacation
school opened Monday in Golden Gate
Park. The militia, at the request OF
the school board. has supplied seventeen
tents to accommodate the little refu-
gees. These are scattered over The park,
and some time was taken in getting the
various grades classified and located.
The tents are on the recreation grounds,
the children's play grounds, in the base
ball park and OF b main driveway.
The school opened with 600 pupils, n
it is expected that at least LOO soon
will be in attendance.
Each tent accommodates twenty pu-
pills and is equipped with desks II
blackboards. There are numerous
books on hand. Reading and arithme-
tic will be paid particular attention
while classes are indoors. There will
be many excursions through the park,
SO. that the pupils can be taught from
nature. History will be illustrated by
the monuments, zoology by visits to the
animal pens, botany by the wealth of
wild flowers and sc on down the list of
studies. Cooking will be taught by spe-
cialiStS and the children will prepare
their own lunches. The school will be
in operation three months.

National Bank had more than $20,000,-
600 in its vault available for the expect

no heavy withdrawals and in view of
confidence being restored, some of the
banks decided that the assistance they
were to receive from other sources is
now unnecessary.

that eleven employees and ninety-seven

This "a that they invariably me with
failure in their endenvors to induce
farmers to put in what are known as
lockout devices, by ean of which
every telephone on a party line becomes
practically a private wire.
In cities, the party line is considered
a great nuisance, because there is nc
privacy in conversations, and all the
bells on the line are rung each time a
subscriber calls. Naturally, the manag.
ers of plants figured that this objec.

In the western section of South Da-

homestead land; other parts have to
be bought from owners, but at prices
that are simply nominal. The drum

$50 to $50 an acre. 1t isn't worth l

AMERICAN OFFICIAL SLAIN.
Vice Consul at Bntoum Is Victim o

#-
W. II. Stuart, the American vice con
sui at Batourn, Russia. was shot and
killed at his country place. The assassin
escaped. Mr.. Stuart was a British sub
ject and one of the largest ship brokers
and exporters of Batoum. During the
revolutionary troubles of last fall his life
was many times threatened by longshore-
men, At Chriytmas a deputation visited
Mr.. stuart's Office and practically com
PEELED him to give up $500 under the
guise Of a holiday gratuity for dock la
borers. Information is that Mr.. Stuart
was killed as a result of revolutionary
movements in that far-of portion of the
Russian empire. s
Batoum is situated on the east shore
of the Black sea and contains in the
n~eighborhood of 10000 population. The
city has long been known as a hotbed
of opposition to the government of the
Car. 1t was to that port that the bat
tleship Kniaz Poemkin started to find a
haven after its crew had m1tinied and
slain its officers at Odessa.
SO far as known in the capital, Mr..
Stuart had not been involved in any trou-
Bile at Batoum. While anarchists and
revolutionaries secretly and openly prop
agated their ideas in the city, however, he
maintained friendly relations with the
Russian government officials. This may
have angered the enemies of the govern
ment and brought about the assassina-
tion. .. 49,.
A serious aspect has arisen over the
affair. Russia is not most friendly to-
ward the United States, and, it is de-
clared, does not stand ready to make rep
aration in the event it is found the gov
eminent officials at Batoum failed to give
Mr.. Stuart proper protection or in any
way connived at his DEATH 1t is pointed
out that Batoum has been in a state of
great unrest ever since the revolutionaries

southern Russia. The officials are
confident that this movement is response.
