WANTED, A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

WANTED, A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Does this extract from "The Making of
an American" by Jacob Riis perhaps
give the only reason why we do not
have new school building in Belfast?
"When there are two sides to a thing
it is not difficult to get at the right of it
in an argument, and to carry public
opinion for the right. But when there
is absolutely nothing to be said against
a proposed reform, it seems to be
human nature - American h u ms an
nature at all events-to expect it to
carry itself through with the general
good wishes but no particular lift from
any one. 1t is a very charming express
sion of our faith in the power of the
right to make its way, only it is all
wrong; it will not make its way in the
generation that sits by to see it move.
1t has got to be moved along like every
thing else in this world by men. That
is how we take title to the name"

ADVISES STUDENTS
TO Be FIGHTERS
Mr.. HENEY MAKES ADDRESS
AT BERKELEY
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of San
Francisco Tells Why He Is Pros
eeutIne Abe Ruef and Other
Municipal Grafters

BY Associated Press.
BERKELEY, April 12.-Francis j.
Heney addressed 1000 students and
prominent citizens of Alameda county
in the Harmon gymnasium of the uni
versity at noon.
He exhorted the university men to be
fighting men, to fight from the time
they leave the university to the. time
they lie down to die, the great battle
of right against wrong.
He said that he was fired out'' Of
the university at Berkeley twenty
eight years ago by the faculty, and was
sorry to say fired" for fighting. A
strange sequel of that affair to him was
the fact that he was now called back
to the university by the invitation of
it's president to address the students
because of the reputation he had gained
as fighting man.
| Colonel Henry Weinstock Of Sacra-
mento first delivered an address to the
students on Good Citizenship" Mr..
Heney followed him and said in part:
1--WE are fighting men in the ordinary
sense of the word at the present time.
What we fight for is principles. If I
thought we were fighting to put men in
Jail 1t would be a waste Of time. am
not fighting Abraham Ruef, but I am
| fighting the conditions under which he
operated.
when you hear that all the trouble
| in San Francisco has been due to labor
unions you can put that statement
down to ignorance.
at can be safely said that in San
Francisco at the present time there are
but 1000 people who are actually pos
sessed of the knowledge of what is
going on behind the scenes.
1.-The trouble with San Francisco six
years ago was that after the merchants
had been engaged in a controversy the
laborers turned down Henry 0rocker
and voted for Eugene E. Schmitz. They
could hardly be blamed for having done
that, but it was then that Ruef saw his
opportunity to step in and become a
political dictator. But 1t was the cor
porations that really elected Schmitz." "

B0NAPARTE WOULD HOLD
RAILROADS TO ACCOUNT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 12-Attorney
General Bonaparte made an argument
today before the supreme court in the
employers liability cases, and his ad-
dress closed the hearing.
The attorney general made an appeal
for a liberal construction of the statute
and declared that the railroads should
not be permitted to be law unto them
selves. He contended that the United
States government has a right to regu-
late the instrumentalities of commerce
and the general constitutional power to
regulate commerce itself, and he argued
that this power could properly be so ex-
tended as to provide for the protection
of men employed on interstate rail-
roads, Notwithstanding their employ
ment should not take them outside any
given state.

REPUBLICS NOW
SEEKING PEACE
WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA MAY
SOON END
Conference to Be Held In Washington
or City of Mexico VIII Be
Attended by Those
Interested
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, April 12.-That all
of the Central American republics are
looking to the present state of warfare
between Nicaragua and Honduras to
result in an agreement for permanent
peace In Central America was devel-
oped today by a general discussion at
the state department.
With that end in view the negotia-
tions looking to a cessation Of hostili-
ties will not go so far as to take up
the subject of permanent peace, but
will leave this broad question to con-
ference to be held in Washington or the
City of Mexico, and 1t is expected all
of the countries Immediately interested
may take part.
The United States and Mexico will
occupy the important positions of UNI
pires, according to the plans.
The conflict between the two Central
American republics which is now draw
ing to close has made 1t apparent to
all that the present unsettled condi-
tions there are hampering the develop
ment of the countries.
The various republics not involved
in the war kept free with the greatest
difficulty, and commercial affairs in all
of them were affected. With the United
States and Mexico urging the placing
of the republics on a firm basis so that
they might dwell amicably together and
enjoy an interchange of business there
is every indication that a permanent
agreement may be reached.
The plan has not gone far enough for
the suggestion of a date for such a
conference, but 1t is assumed that it
will not interfere with the conference at
The Hague, although the two would not
be in conflict in any way.
Ambassador Creel is said to be father
of the idea, but has the hearty ap-
proval of the officials of the state de-
partment.
In order that there might be full at
tendance of representatives from all
Central American republics, Mexico
City, it is believed, stands better chance
of securing the conference. The keen
interest taken by the diplomatic repre-
sentatives here of all Central American
republics and the dependence they place
in Secretary of State Root and the Mex
lean ambassador is believed by officials
here to insure the success of such a
gathering as that proposed.

FORESTER HARPER ON
MAYOR HARPER'S TRAIL

City Forester E. ]. Harper has
threatened Mayor A. C. Harper. his
brother with trouble if he persists in
ordering the chain gang to cut down
the old pepper trees at Main and
Washington streets.
Main street is to be widened at that
point. The board of public works and
members of the council who have been
taken to the spot in autos recently de-
creed that 1t was necessary to remove
ne trees. Forester Harper did not
know this.
No one would take them down free
for the sake of the kindling they con-
tanned; the board had no funds and 1t
deVolved on the chain gang to do the
work. And 1t is being done.
Forester Harper CHANGED to be pass
ing on a car yesterday and saw what
he regarded as vandalism.
Forthwith he rushed to the city hall
TO get an explanation.
There seems TO be no hope for the
trees, as Main street at that point is
dangerous, there being hardly room
enough for wagons to pass between the
curbs and car tracks.

RAILROAD COUNSEL

Says Scenes at GoIdfeId ResembIed
Wild Western Days When Gun
Play Was Law and

Z. y. Wh1ttlmore. counsel for the Salt
Lake and vice president of the Las
vegas q Tonopah road, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday to meet former Sem
ator w. A Clark of Montana, who is
at the Alexandria, and j. Ross Clark.
Mr.. Whittimore has just come from
Nevada, where he has been lookinee
after the interests of the Las Vegas e.
Ionopah road. While there he spent
ten days at Goldfield, making preIim-
mary arrangements for terminals, and
ne says the road from Rhyolite to Gold
1eld will be pushed on with as little
delay as possible.
Il spent two months at the legisla-
ture in Carson City looking out for
railroad interests, and from there 1
went to Goldfeld to select terminals"
said Mr.. Whittimore.
"I arrived there at the height of the
strike and saw some thrilling things.
There were incidents which, If they
were seen on the stage, would be put
down as wild western and not true to
life
"The fight now is a fight between
the two unions-one for supremacy over
the other-and though it ties things up
pretty badly at present I think every-
thing will be settled satisfactorily.
Tonopah and Rhyolite are affected
CHIEFLY by the slump in stocks which
| labor troubles always brings, but other
wise they have not felt the strike.
I'VE are using all possible means to
put the Las Vegas & Tonopah road
road through to GoldffCld by the early
fall The grade has been completed as
far as the Gold mountain district, about
half way between the two places"
Speaking further of the strike Mr..
| Whittimore said:
All Were Armed
EVERY man in Goldfield went armed
and there were guns on every hand. /
was in the Montezuma club one night
when man dropped his gun and 1t
went off. Instantly every man man
reached for his gun and turned to see
who was doing the shooting. There
was almost panic for few minutes
and it would have taken only a word
to start a dangerous fight. Some of INV
friends had their houses patrolled all
the time and they We're constantly on
the watch for man with a gun.
"At one evening reception where there
were about twenty-five men guests l
saw twenty-five guns lying on the ta-
BILE. The first man who entered took off
his coat and then pulled out a great
big gan. The hostess wanted to know
what he was doing with that thing.
| When the next man came In she told
him to take off his gun with his coat,
and by the time the guests had all been
received there were twenty-five guns
| stacked UP on the table,"
Mr.. Whittimore has originally intend
ed returning to Nevada with Senator
Clark, who was going to inspect mining
properties, but the accident to the sem
ator at Trinidad upset his plans and
he has postponed his trip until later.
