Washington, Dec. 2-Although Representative
Peter A Porter, of New York. was not allowed
to take part in tho Republican caucus. the off,
cial Congressional Directory" just issued in
variably lists him as Republican. His name

lection without protest from his party OF
seat on the Republican side Of the House, to-
gether with the official list, is taken to mean
that Mr.. Porter will hereafter have to be recog
nized as q Republican.

vania. who was the only member of the caucus
to vote audibly on Saturday In favor of admit
ting Mr. Porter. said to-day that he considered

to bar any Representative who had with

on October 1, 1908, but the decision of the Governor that the Sate Treasury is now in 8 position to stand the ex- pense warrants the immediate com rnencement of preparations for the schools. The advance work can be disposed and the buildings erected. so the schools will be ready to use the maintenance fund of the State when 1t becomes available.
 No formal applications have yet been made by any of the counties, but ap- plication has been made in general way by Clay, Barbour. Russell and St. Clair Counties. The object of the commission Is to locate the sites in the several counties as quickly as pos sibla, in order that the work of con- structing the buildings may be com menoed immediately,
 Other Counties Later.
 Under the provisions of the law, a high school cannot be established in any county in which there is an ag- ricultural school. a normal school for white people, the University, the Poly- technic Institute, the Industrial School for White Girls or high school free to all the children sof a county, until after a high school has been estap- lished in all the other counties.
 The High School Commission VIII hold that the county high school must be separate and apart in every way from the regular or local school in which are taught the primary and in; termediate grades.
 All applications by communities Tor the locating of county high schools should be In writing (typewritten II conveniently and should set out in full the amount of money which will be given, the plans of the building to be erected. the nature of the equipment proposed, and such other general mat ters as would be of aid to the High School Commission In selecting loca- tion.
 Under the terms of the law. at least five acres of land must he secured as . site for the high school building ana the deed to the same must be maoe to the State. This deed. of course, need not be made until the school is located. The High School Commission Will consider the S5, 900 mentioned Tn sec tion 2 of the law as minimum re- ouirement for the consideration or an application. They will. In passing on applications, take into consideration increased donations of land and in- creased funds for buildings and for equipment. also the healthfulness oi the locality and the school population accessible--the idea being to locate the | school where 1t would be of the great est good to the greatest number. The staee will appropriate s2.oeo an nuaily for the payment of teachers in the high school. As this amount with inc matriculation fee of &1 to defrny necessary incidentals wis not be suf. fcfent to sustain a first-class high school, it will be expected that com | munitiss will agree tQ supplement the fund so as to procure a teaching force creditable alike to the county and to | the State.
 No funds from the State will be ai' lowed to any high school located by ! the Commission until the building and equipment have been inspected by

At meeting of the State High School Commission yesterday morning Governor B. B. Conner announced that he believed the treasury was now in a position to stand the appropriation for the establishment of the nigh schools in forty seven counties. as provided for in the recently enacted schooi law.
 The act provides that as soon as tie Governor desides that tha State Treas ury is in a position to stand the extta appropriation, he shall take whate CT steps he deems le3 ssa-y 10 carry out the provisions of the law.
 The act provides that all of thoFe counties which nave not already been benefited by the establishment of nc r. nal or other State educational insti- tions, shall be first entitled to sn an- nual appropriation of $2,000, which is to be used within the discretion of the board. composed of Governor con.,r, Auditor Brandon and Superintendent of Schools Gunnels.
 There are forty-seven counties in which this fund will be available, or which are entitled te 1t, making to- tai of $s4,o00 that .he State Will be taxed to establish hi gh schools in those counties where the educational campaign has not already been of ben- eft.
 The appropriation vii go into effect at once, and the commission will at once set about making arrangements for the location of the schools. No sites were named in the bill, and none will be named by the commission until the counties in which the schools are to be located have settled on a loca- tion where the inducements are suffi- cient to ensure that the State will not be taxed to buy lot and erect a school house.

OPERATORS GO BACK
PENSACOLA OFFICE AGAIN RUM
 MING FULL FORCE.
After Three Weeks likeness Men Re. turn To keys--None Were Union Members and Derived Nc
 Benefits.

Pensacola, Fla. Aug. 2S--(Special)- The strike of the operators of the Western Union Telegraph Company nt Pensacola. ended this morning, when all of the men who left their keys three weeks ago, resumed theft old positions.
 This has been expected for the past two or three days. as several confer ences between Manager Cord and the operators were held. and the former agreed to give the men their old posi- tions if they would return to work at once.
 The operators, after three weeks of idleness began to realize that they were striking for the benefit of those who were members of the union, and that they would receive no benefits from the union, as none were members of the organization. and had struck purely out of sympathy for the other men. Consequently when they learned that they would be taken back, all agreed, and this morning, true to their promise to the manager. they appear ed at o'clock and resumed work.
 This puts an end to the strike. so far as Pensacola is concerned, and all busi- ness Is being handled without delay at this end of the line.
