TO FORM A FEDERATION.
Convention of Architects, Landscape
Gardeners and ScuIptors

Washington, May 12.-Architects, artists,
landscape gardeners, sculptors, men of
science and others from organizations in
tended for the promotion of art have met
in convention here The object of the
art federation and it is being held under
the auspices of the national academy of
art, of which ]. Pierpont Morgan is presi-
dent.
Vice President Sherman welcomed the
delegates.
Senator Root, of New York, explained in
detail the object of the convention.
A stir was created when Senator New
lands, of Nevada, in speaking of his bill
for the creation of a government bureau
of fine arts, declared that President
Roosevelt trenched somewhat on the pre-
negatives of the legislative branch of the
thority, a council of arts, which would
pass upon the designs for contemplated
government structures. Congress, he said
had resented this interference and the
council had gone out of existence. Sen
ator Newlands gave the council credit,
however, for performing distinguished ser
vices, while they held office.
A suggestion that in the improvement
of rivers and harbors there should be also
an artistic development of the water front
of every town upon a river or harbor met
ing that the United States individually
should follow. There should be built up
a strong public sentiment, he said, which
would have its effect on congress- which
he asserted, rarely led but almost always
followed.
The delegates were received in the east
room by President and Mrs. Taft

WHO GETS THE MONEY ?
Eight Millions Left by Abdul Hamid
Is in Dispute.

Constantinople, May ia differ
ence of opinion has arisen between
Schehket Pasha, commander OF the
constitutfonalist army that entered
Constantinople, April "a. and the
present cabinet.
Schef1ket Pasha is of the opinion
that the cash found in the imperial
palace of Yildiz after the expulsion
of Abdul Hamfd should be used to
pay the expenses of his army, while
the ministers want the money turned
into the national treasury. The
funds in question now amount to al
most 100000 in cash and
Immediately marketable securities.
Schefket Pasha has one advantage in
the controversy inasmuch as the
money is in the possession of the
military and has been deposited In the
war Office.

school took up Tuesday morning, sew
enty-fve pupils left the school just
as chapel convened, marched down

Enencement exercises whatever this
year, or there may be commencement
exercises with only one graduate, a
young woman. She was the only one
of the seniors who remained when the
insurgents began their parade.
Boys Will Fight the Case.
The boys arrested this morning have
engaged an attorney to represent them
in their trial, which is set for Thurs
day. They are charged with destroy
ing property. and it is understood that
the boys will plead that they did not
destroy or deface any property, but
that the lock on the trap door
through which they reached the ROOF
of the building was not fastened.
The school board is inclined to take
the side of the teachers.
Tuesdays affair was the cuimlna-
ton of a series of outbreaks of class
spirit, which included putting up col
ors, mixing up of school books, and
painting class symbols in the assembly
room and on the building. Because OF
previous pranks ten students had al
ready been suspended. and about a
half dozen who had been caught in
the act were arrested and fined in po-
lice court.
Girls Were Not Captured.
Fearing a repetition of last years
incidents guards were secreted in the
building who caught the boys before
they could get away. In one instance
girls accompanied the boys, but the
girls managed to evade the guards. At
the school board meeting the board
approved the action of the faculty
in the other cases and ordered that
legal action be brought against three
other offenders, whose names were
known.
