RACE SUICIDE BUT
GREATER DESIRE
FOR EDUCATION
More Children In the Public
Schools Bot Fewer in
the City.
Also There Are Now Fewer
Vacant Houses.
WHITES SHOW SLIGHT GAIN.

AS was the case last year the
school census enumeration shows a
small gain in the number of white
pupils with a decrease among the
colored pupils. The report of ]. f..
Cummings to the school board last
night was received and 1t shows an
Increase of 23 white pupils with a
loss of 1913 colored pupils. Compari-
son Of the school records shows an
increase in the enrolment of the
colored schools. and the school ON
cials feel confident that some cclored
children have been omitted bv the
enumerators.
There Is a net loss of 176 children
by comparison with the reports of
1903. Among the white children
there is an increase of 23 names. but
this is onset by a decrease of 1919 in
the colored lists. Last year there
was an increase of ten in the white
lists asd loss of 154 among the COL
ored children. However, last year
the school enrolment showed a de-
crease in the number of colored pu-.
pills, and the reduction In the colored
names was readily seen as correct.
This morning Superintendent J. A.
Carnagey was busy checking over the
reports OF the enumerators, and pre-
pairing to secure the names of any
children omitted by the enumerators
among the colored chill
dren, superintendent Carnagey is
over the showing. BY
a comparison Of his records OF at
tendance there is an increase of
eight colored pupils this year with
the prospects OF a larger increase be-
fore June. The amount the schools
win receive from the state depends
On the number OF children in the
census.
The report shows that among the
white children there is a decrease OF
20 in the boys. The number of

Addresses Farmers on Con.
servation al ST. LOUISE.
Speaks For His Breakfast
and Sees Two Ball Games.

St. Louis, May President Taft
arrived from Cincinnati at S:35 this
morning. He was met at the sta.
tion by representatives of the Bust
ness Mems league. and was taken
to the st. Louis club in an automo-
bile for breakfast.
President Taft intimated today
that he might veto the railroad bill.
He said: when ] return to WASH
ington I'll look over the entire bill
with the changes that have been
made. We are either going to have
a satisfactory railroad bill or none
at ALL" Three features the presi-
dent considers most important in his
pet bit of legislation are the clauses
bearing on the tariff agreement, the
merger clause and the rate super
vision clause. Already the bill has
been so amended that these features
are hardly recognizable.
At breakfast at the St. Louis club
the president was led into a short
discussion of the Panama canal
through reference to the subject by
Murray Carleton. He said he was
greatly pleased with the way in
which the work is progressing in the
Canal Zone and is certain II is in
the hands of efficient engineers.
Through the transfer of the work to
the army engineers, he said, the
confidence of the people has been
revived. for the army holds the peo-
ple's confidence. With these men In
charge "hlackmailers, slanderers and
scandal makers will find their wares
are not marketable"
In his speech before the Farmers
convention, the president advocated
the national board of health and
confined most of his address to the
conservation of human life. Then
he worked around to the land con-
servation. He asked the farmers TO
use all their influence to get passed
in the senate the Withdrawn bill.
which legalizes the withdrawal of
public lands from entry already
made and gives the executive power
To make future Withdrawals. At the
close of his address, President Taft
was taken to the Southern hotel for
luncheon. A short rest followed and
after a drive through the boulevards
he was taken to the National league
park. where he saw the first five in
nings of the Cardinals-Cincinnati
game. Then he went to the Ameri
can league park for the closing In
nings of the Cleveland-Browns
game. Both parks drew record
breaking crowds.

There was no ehange today On the
situation Of the county almshouse.
Nv. A. Thompson. although declared
out OF Office yesterday by the fiscal
court. was still In charge today. n
T. Cartec. who was elected, IS wait
ing upon the county TO institute pro
lceedngs to place him IN charge OF
the institution. Mr.. Thompson was
in the city this morning and when
questioned about leaving the aims
house he said: II be.ieve by ccn-
tract is good until October and win
not leave until forced to do 80 by
order OF court"
Stormy scenes were witnessed yes
terday afternoon In the fiscal court
when the report OF the special COM
mittee regarding a change in the
management OF the county aims
house was reached BY far, II was
the bltterest session of the court
held during the new administration,
and ended only after nearly two
hours OF impassioned oratory. The
battle cleared with victory for the
present administration. and as a re
suit w. A. Thompson, keeper of the
county almshouse. was voted out OF
Office. the position of keeper was
made a salaried Office with a salary of
500 a month, and T. n Oartee was
elected to succeed Thompson. Judge
r. T. Lightfoot. attorney for Thonlp-
son, asked for an appeal and the
challenge was taken that the action
of the court would be fought in cir
cult court.
At the morning session the breath
OF the approaching battle could be
felt. and everybody In the court room
waited patiently for the interesting
part OF the session. 1t finally broke
loose yesterday afternoon. when Mag
istrate c. w. Emery arose and read
the report of the special committee.
In substance the committee recon-
mended that a change in manage
ment be made for the sake of econo-
my. II was the opinion that the bills
Of the almshouse could be reduced
between 500 and $3.50 every month,
by placing a superintendent and his
wife in charge of the institution on
a salary of SEQ a month. The com
mittee reported that w A. Thompson
had failed to meet with the members.
and on a visit to the sanitarium the
committee had offered he position OF
keeper to Mr.. Thompson on a salary.
but he had declined. Further, the
committee recommended that the
Office OF keeper be declared vacant,
and that T. N. Cartee be declared
elected to serve at the pleasure OF

After the reading. Magistrate En-
cry made the motion that the report
be received and Magistrates Splitter

ed the lively discussion, and Magis-
trate Kuykendall was the first to
gain the floor. In vigorous language
he said he failed to zee where there
would be any economy in the new
system. and considered it an mjus-
