NINE HUNDRED AT SCHOOLS
All Records Are Broken at the Opening of the Term
on Monday.

Six hundred and two school child
rem filled the old building to its cap
acity, and beyond. while 4S Others
who are registered, did not attend
yesterday. None were turned away
although Supt. Miller doesn't know
where he will put them.
Many pupils still out of the city
will return shortly and within a
month the enrolment of pupils in
the white schools will reach eight
hundred, and possibly more.
Further additions to this building
cannot well be made, and Americus
is confronted with the absolute nee
essity of providing other and larger
buildings in order to take care of the
rapidly increasing number of pupils
attending the schools.
No lessons were said yesterday, but
today the young ideas" will be
taugh to shoot in the usual good old
way.

The Americus schools opened yes
terday for the fall season with the
largest attendance ever known on
opening day, exceeding nine hundred
pupils. These filled up Furlow and
Rees Park schools, with ample room
at the colored school.
Supt. Miller says the attendance
was even greater than expected.
The enrolment of pupils in the
white schools is 652 already, while
only 250 colored pupils have entered
at Mckay school yet.
This rather small attendance at
Mckay Hill school is accounted for
in the fact that many former pupils
are now working in the country.
These will enter the school later, as
they do always ,and the total num-
ber there will exceed 700.
At Furlow School the scene pres
ented was highly interesting.

both prosecution and defense that twelve
men will surely be qualified from ads spe-
cial panel Witnesses for the prosecution
have been notified to be in court next FRI
day morning. This indicates the belief that
the trial panel Will have been sworn In by
that time.
An interesting development Of today was
the service of subpoena by the prosecution
on Acting Secretary Kerwin Of the Western
Federation of Miners. Mr.. Kerwin had been
in the city several days, consulting with the
prisoners with regard to union AFFAIRS ana
the approaching meeting Of tho federation

that he expected he might be called AZ
witness for the defense IL the prosecution
developed any point upon which his testt-
mony was needed. The attorneys for tie
state decided today to summon Kerwin as
one of their Witnesses
The federation official had started back
to Denver, however, before the deputy
sheriff reached him. The subpoena was
telegraphed ahead and served at q point
near the Idaho line. Kerwin. 1t is said. ex-
pressed his willingness to return whenever
desired. His business relations with the
prisoners. he also announced would require
his presence in Boise from time to time.

VESSELS IN COLLISION.
Crews Escape With Their Lives in
Small Boats.

Small Boats.
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Nav IL
The four-masted schooner Sycamore OF
Boston was sunk of East Chop usbt at
o'clock tonight after colliding with the
Norwegian steamer Edda. The captain and
crew of the schooner. as well as the can
tain's wife. reached shore in the yawl boat
of the vessel.
The steamer was bound from Hillsboro.
N. b.. to New York with a cargo Of plaster,
while the schooner was coming up from
Newport News. Va, to Boston with coal.
The fate of the Edda is not known.
Capt. Meidell of the Edda was on the
bridge at the time of the collision and was
knocked down. He grasped the jibboom OF
the Sycamore and managed to climb aboard
the schooner. He does not know what be-
came of his vessel, but thinks she may be
afloat
Capt. Meidell stated that tow of barees
bound to the eastward confused him. ana
that In trying to avoid them he found him
self directly under the bow of the Saga

on the port side about midships.
The cutwater of the schooner STRUCK
the Edda on the port side, little forward
of amidshps. Although the blow was a
terrific one, 1t was not sufficient to sink
either ship at once. Capt. Trefey realizing
that his vessel was sinking. ordered the
crew to put over the yawl boat. A moment
later he found that Capt. Meideii Of the
Edda had come on board the Sycamore in
somewhat dazed condition due to scalp
wounds.
Ten minutes, after the collision all hands
were In the little boats and the Sycamore
had gone to the bottom.

any one who knew Charles II. Meyer In
1885, at the time II Is alleged he was In

was postmaster at Rockford In 1885, where
Meyer says he was then employed by a
mining company, Is dead, and the old-time
hotel keeper of that mining camp says he
never knew that Meyer was q resident OF
that vicinity at any time. No one identi-
fed with the management Of the Castle
Creek Gold Mining Company Is now resi-
dent OF this region. as the company has
long been out Of existence, and Its records
have probably been destroyed. The earliest
history obtainable of Meyers residence In
the Black hills was in 1880, and 1t Is said
that he was one of the leaders In the Annie
Creek strike Of 1893, when an English min
ing company closed up Its business and
left the country because OF labor troubles.

TWO GREAT FIRES IN PARIS

PARIS, May 1.-THE entire fire depart
ment of Paris was called out tonight to
fight two great fires which started within
two hours, and which are believed to have
been the work Of incendiaries.
The first fire was at Aubin's big cartridge
factory in the suburb Of st. Denis. 1t was
accompanied by many violent explosions.
but fortunately there was no loss OF life.
The second was in the Montmartre dis
trict, at Hermann La Chapelle's metal
works. Here the flames spread rapidly
to some adjoining tenement houses, the &C.
cupants Of which were rescued with diff
fculty. The work Of the firemen was i'm
peded by a mob OF thugs, called in Paris
"Apaches," who cut the fire hose. pillaged
the houses from which the occupants had
been turned out by the fremen. and stabbed
one policeman who was trying to hold the
people back.
The damage is estimated at 100000.
Many persons sustained injuries, and 1t Is
feared that two firemen lost their lives
through the collapse Of the factory roof.
Fifty persons were rendered homeless, and
had to seek shelter for the night in the
police stations.

Special Session Assured.
A special session for one Of the fall
months Is now almost assured. The project
meets with dsfavor because OF the record
made at the regular and extended session
last winter. But Gov. Dawson Is known to
be entertaining a desire to have another
siege. He wants a railroad commission Dill
or corporation commission bill passed; also
a uniform primary bill, as well as some ad-
ditional revenue producing measures, In or
der to fill out the original tax reform pro-
gram to a larger extent. The latest min
ing disaster has again stimulated an agita-
ton for more drastic mining laws.
Those close to the throne assert positively
that a special session is on the calendar

Pledge Unredeemsd.
One pledge of his party was to wipe out
the direct state tax on real and personal
property. Before this can be done some
other source of revenue must be located TO
fill the gap. Those who are taxed now
under the head OF special privileges view
the extra session talk with dire forebodings
1t must be confessed. however, that this
concern does not extend to the coal, OIL
and gas interests. These interests were
pictured as gigantic octopi that were suck
Ing the nfebiood out Of the state, breaking
down the sturdy backs of the horny-handed
sons OF toll and forcing mortgages on mod
est homes by reason Of their role OF tax
dodgers.
The taxing of coal. oil and gas was

the rumors of three days ago of q threat

outbreak Is declared to be imminent.
While the Rahma tribesmen have not yet
seized the city, they are liable to do SO at
any moment. They are encamped but a
short distance away. The situation Is so
dangerous that all the European residents
have left, with large native escorts, for

to be threatening; that he has decided to

PEoNAaE IN THE souTH.
Annual Report Of New York City
Official.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE annual report
Of Commissioner Of Licenses John N Boz
CART. submitted to the mayor today. con-
:tains much information about the sending
Of laborers from employment agencies in
this city into peonage in southern states,
as well as the supplying of girls to aisor-
derby houses In the city. The licenses of
twenty employment agencies that supplied
girls to disorderly houses have been re-
voked and the system almost completely
broken up.
In discussing peonage Commissioner Boz
CART says that most of the hardships COM
planned of by men sent from New York to
southern labor camps. are directly due to
the state authorities in states where people
are imprisoned for debt. New York en-
ployment agencies send to southern states
an average Of $4,000 men-a year.
The commissioner says, however that in.
vestfgation Of charges of peonage led him
to revoke the license Of one Of the largest
labor agents In the city for giving false
information concerning employment to men
sent south. He also tells OF correspondence
with Gov. Broward Of Florida on the SUBJ
ject, and adds: The compliments who
came to this once were either men In poor
physical condition or quite young: at any
rate, incapable, OF continuing at hard
work. Their transportation charges were
advanced by the railroad construction COM
pany, ana they had signed agreements to
work until the railroad company was re-
imbursed a certain sum toward that end
being deducted each week from their
wages.
Some of them were forced to give up
the work. however. before the Transports
ton charges were repaid thus placing
themselves in debt to the railroad company
and making them amsnable to the debt
laws of the state of Florida. Then fol-
lowed the series of hardships complained OF
by the men. They alleged that they were
put In chain gangs by the state and made
to build roads and dig quarries, sometimes
being .farmed out by the state to private
firms to work until their terms Of legal
servitude were completed.
s'The supervision OF this ONCE over con-
tract labor shipments u Of the strictest
sort. Sometimes the agents themselves are
misinformed as to conditions. butS In every
case In which q shipment Of men Is made
