AckuEYs PROPOSED SCHOOL.
Board Drawing Plans for Erection Of
$4,000 Structure.

Special to Times Republican.
Ackley. May 21.-The school board
is drawing plans for a 100000 school
building which is to be erected here
this year. 1t is the intention to en-
close the building during 1907 and fin
ish off but two rooms. In 1908 the
building will bey completed. The rea-
son for taking two years in completing
the structure Is that the tax voted for
one year will not be sufficient to pay
for the sort of building desired and
by taking two years taxes a school
modern in every respect can be Sc t
cured.
The building is to be devoted to
high school rooms. etc. 1t will be 80
by 80 feet, two stories in Height, with
a high basement, which makes it prac-
tically three stories in all. An elegant
gymnasium will be provided in the
basement also toilet rooms and many
other modern conveniences. On the
main floor there will be the recitation
rooms, assembly rooms, ETC., and on
the second floor large hall with a
seating capacity of 400 is planned.
This room will be used for public en-
tertainments. not only those given by
the school. but for those OF the town
as we'll 1t will be the largest of any
hall in Ackley and it is thought con-
siderable revenue will be derived from
that source.

COMMITTEE QUITS
Representatives Selected to Rule San
Francisco Resign Because Of Lack
of Cooperation.

San Francisco. May 21.-The "com-
mittee Of seven" appointed by the FIVE
commercial organizations in San Fran
cisco to ta'-e over some of the power
of Mayor schmitz with the latter's
consent, resigned last night because it
has been unable to secure the cooper
alton of Rudolph Spreckels and Fran
els ]. Heney, who are at the head of
the graft investigation.
The graft Investigators refused to
CO operate with or assist the commit
tee, taking the ground that 1t was
named by Mayor Schmitz, and for that
reason could have no good purpose.
1t was pointed out to both Spreckels
and Heney that the members Of the
committee were chosen by the various
business organizations, and Schmitz
had no hand in their selection, but
Spreckels and Henry would have nothl
ing to do with them.
On the street the criticism is made
that Spreckels feared the "big stick"
might lose its power If the city govern
ment were reorganized.

cred his Illustrated lecture on "The

Ireland, Birrell was acceptable to the
people OF Ireland assembled at noon
today 1t became known Immediately
terday's meeting of Irish leaders. would
be rejected
The convention unanimously adopted
Redmonds resolution rejecting Bir-
relrs Irish bill The resolution fol-
lows:
THAT this convention, representative
of Irish national opinion, which espec-
tally placeA on record its sound con-
viction that nothing can satisfy the
national associations of Ireland or
bring peace and contentment to our
people but a measure OF self-govern-
ment which will give the Irish people
complete control of their domestic af-
fairs.
THAT while We have never wavered
in our belief that 1t is impossible to
produce any logical or workable
scheme for the extension and devel-
opment of popular power and respons-
ibility in Ireland short Of the conces-
sion Of home rule, in accordance with
the resolution of the national directory
of the 5th Of February, 1907, and with
the public decorations made from time
to time in our behalf, we have been
willing to give fair consideration to
any scheme prepared by the British
ministers. which in their opinion would
be consistent with and lead UP to a
larger policy to which they were
pledged.
THAI having considered the Irish
council bill introduced by the gov
ernment we declare that it is utterly
inadequate In Its scope, and unsatis-
factory in its details, and should be
rejected by the Irish nation. We regard
the production of such a measure by
the British government. pledged to
home rule, as q confirmation OF the
position we have always taken-that
any attempt to settle the Irish problem
by half measures would be entirely un-
successful, and we call upon the irish
party to oppose the bill in the house
OF commons, and press upon the gov
ernment with all their strength and
power, to introduce measure for the
establishment Of a native parliament,
with responsible executive power over
all purely Irish affairs, AMI at this
crisis in the fortunes of Ireland, we in
wife oil tha nationalist forcas in the
country to unite in support Of our rep
in parliament, to enable
them to effectively press for speedy
and genuine settlement of 'she Irish
question"
