SCHOOL PROGRAM
IN MINNESOTA
High School Pupils Have an
Interesting Hawaiian
Afternoon.

Mainland schools are taking up thu
study of Hawaii in a practical anC
novel maner, and the Promotion Com
mittee is assisting in the good work
In the last mail the committee received
a dainty little note from the principa
of the Spring Valley minnesota higf
school, enclosing g. colored drawing
sketch, copied by one of the scholars
from the cover design of the Hawaii
folder (showing a Hawaiian canoe in
the foreground with cocoanut trees in
the background. Written upon this
drawing was the program of an after

the literature on Hawaii, and states also
that the Hawaiian afternoon was sue

TEN THOUSAND SAVED
IN NUUANU DAM WORK

Some parts of the Nuuanu dam work
have gone far enough ahead to enable
the Department of Public Works to
figure on what part of the appropria-
ton has been saved in these places to
apply to other work ON the reservoir,
while changes in plans, as allowed by
the contract, have effected other saw
ings, in all approximately ten thousand
dollars. This will be used to carry on
other work in the reservoir site.
On the spillway work, for instance, it
was found that the cut reached down to
bedrock, and there is no necessity of
putting in 20S0 square yards of stone
paving that had been figured on in the
plans. 1t has been decided, too, that
the extension of the wooden corewall
completely through the dam is unneces-
sary, so instead of having to pay for
81, 700 feet of redwood the government
will have a bill for only $4,000. The
masonry wall work on the spillway has
also been decreased by 165 cubic yards
and that item in the contract which
called for the grassing of the outer
slopes of the reservoir dam has been
wiped out because the dam has been
in place where the grass was needed
so long that nature has undertaken the
Job and made the slopes look like a
hay field.
The rains of Sunday gave the con
tractor two days sluicing and two thou
sand yards of the red earth came down
the sluice boxes and piled up on the
fill. Then the water gave out and the
work stopped again.
The ten thousand dollars saved on the
dam will go a long way toward helping
in the clearing of the seventy-two acres
in the reservoir site, although when this
clearing work will commence depends,
like the rest of the work, on the
weather

Of THE
MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN

The man in charge of the mosquito
campaign yesterday reported to the
Board of Health
There were but three complaints re-
ceived during November regarding
mosquito nuisances, all of>which were
investigated and the breeding places
abolished.
The effectiveness of this campaign
is noticeable from the satisfactory
statements made by the residents. who
in some instances scarcely notice a
mosquito and have abandoned mos
quito nets.

SEARCHING FOR INcENDIARY

CHICAGO, May l4.-Detectives in
the employ Of Chicago Board Of Edu-
cation are searching for an incendiary
who attempted to burn the Clarke
public school, containing 1000 children
at Ashland avenue and West Thir-
teenth street.
The fire which started at the foot
of one of the stairways, on Monday,
was discovered in time to prevent the
spread of the flames. The lower steps
OF the stairway had been saturated
with kerosene and basket OF shavings
and paper set ahre. The flames had
not yet caught the oil-soaked wood
when the alarm was given.
In the building there are 80 school
rooms. Three rooms are filled with
deaf and dumb pupils and two score
blind student are scattered through
the various grades. The attempt tc
fire the building was discovered by
one of the mutes.
Terrified, he ran back to the school
room, grabbed Miss Martin, the head
teacher in the deaf and dumb depart
nent, by the skirts, and dragged her
to the top Of the landing. Miss Mar
tin called the janitor, and the fire was
extinguished.
No fire alarm was sounded and but
few of the children in the school knew
anything about the tragedy that
threatened them. That the attempt tc
murder Of innocents was perpetrated
wilfully, principal and teachers and
members of the school board do not
doubt.

NEW YORK, May l4.-Following
the Pacific Coast tryouts which were
held at Stanford University in Cali
Eornia, members of the Olympic COM
nuittee are jubilant over the fact that
everything now points to winning
team to represent the United States
m London in July.
The only thing that is worrying US
now," said James E. Sullivan, secre-
fary OF the committee, is the picking
of the team. That is hard problem.
Within the past month reports have
been received from all over the coun-
try stating that some athlete has been
breaking worlds records in practice.
If these reports are true there will be
many upsets when all the tryouts are
held, and perhaps some of those who
were looked on as sure winners will
Of necessity be left at home.
"Of course this will not happen if
" receive enough money. At pres
-ns we have sufficient to send win
ming team but | am in hopes that be-
for the boys sail on June Fl there will
be enough to send every athlete who
has a chance of gaining point"
While reports OF wonderful feats
have been received here, experts who
have heard thousands of these reports
before claims it was seasoned cham
pion who will perform best and win
cut when the proper time comes.
They say they cannot see how such
men as Shaw OF Dartmouth and For
est Smithson are going to lose in the
Righ hurdles Martin W. Sheridan
with the discus, Melvin Sheppard, in
the middle distance; Grath and Flani
gan in the weight events; Glarnor in
the quarer mile; Dray Of Yale in the
pole vault; Porter in the high jump;
Ray Emery in the standing jump; Bel
bars and Bonhagi in the distance runs;
Dan Kelley in the broad jump; James
Sullivan, in the mile run; Coe and
Rose in the shotput and Carrots in
any Of the specialties he trains for and
eompete5 in.
AL Of these have consistently and I
persistentIy shown form that stands
cut by itself and trainers claim moth
ing less than serious accidents can
prevent them from making the team.
In the Marathon race, America is
by no means left in the ruck. Within |
the past year this country has devel-
oped long distance runners that are
By no means below the average. Mr.. |
Sullivan, believes we have a grand
chance of capturing that event this
year. Up to yesterday more than
$1,000 had been subscribed to carry
the team abroad and Mr.. Sullivan ex-
poets to have at least $4,000 by June
IS. Judging that it will cost each man
from $500 to $500 for expenses from
the time he leaves New York this
amount will enable the committee to
pick from 40 to 50 Men. With this
number every member of the COM
Hittee is sanguine Of success. The
committee has decided to hold the
wrestling tryouts on May 20 and 27,
instead of May rs and 26. In all prob
ability these tryouts will only take one
night as the fact that only native born
or fully naturalized citizens Of Ameri-
ca are eligible will keep number of
entries away.

WASHINGTON, May IA, - The
Vreeland currency bill was today put
through the house under special rule
by a vote OF 1874 to l45. Fifteen OF
the so-called insurgents OF the ma
Ijority party voted with the Democrats
who went on record solidly against
the measure. The closing moments
of the debate were replete with excite
ment and republican enthusiasm caus-
ed by the refusal of great majority Of
the democrats to go on record for the
/ Williams bill, which had been offered
by Kahn, OF California, as substitute
| for Vreeland bill, in accordance with
the we'll laid plan OF the majority
leaders to ascertain where the demo-
Gratis stood on the proposition, which
it was claimed by several was sup
ported by Bryan. Ninety-three demo-
Gratis voted present" which aroused
the republicans to high state of hi
larity at the expense OF the minority.
Only handful of democrats had the
temerity to vote AYE" or mo" The
action OF Kahn was due to refusal OF
Williams to present his bill as sub
stitute which under the rule he was
specially authorized to do.
As soon as bill reaches the senate,
Aldrich will call meeting Of the
finance committee to consider it. It
is expected that the committee will
vote unanimously to amend the house
measure by striking out all amend
ments after enacting a clause and in
serting the provisions Of the bill
which was passed by the senate. 1t
is not doubted the senate will approve
OF the action of committee The eff
feet OF this could be to send both the
Vreeland and the Aldrich bills to a
conference.
