New York. July 1.-THE city gov

New York, July 1.-THE city gov
eminent has at last taken step in
the right direction toward making
the school facilities of New York
more adequate. Owing to niggardly
and altogether insufficient appropri-
atoms the board of education. for
many years has been unable to build
enough new schools TO accommodate
the constantly increasing number of
children in the various sections of the
city. Two years ago only $780,
600 was appropriated for new school
buildings, sum altogether insult
Z ficient considering the tremendous
increase in school population. Last
year more than s6.000,000 was ap-
propriated for that purpose. but even
that sum was inadequate. This year
the appropriation will be more than
SIC. 100000 and 1t is hoped that by
a jndicious distribution of that sum
the oyercrowding of the schools two
years hence will be greatly mitigated,
although perhaps not entirely pre-
vented.
Police Commissioner Waldo has
learned sad and discouraging les
son. In former years II was the Gus
tom to send out inspectors in plain
clothes TO make the rounds of the
various precincts for the purpose OF
ascertainIng whether or not the po-
lire officers were doing their duty.
Commissioner Waldo did not like this
system Of espionage. which, in his
opinion. was degrading. When he
was placed at the head Of the police
department be promptly abolished
the so-called shortly" squad and
placed the roundsmen and other po-
lice officers upon their honor. The
other night the commissioner made a
tour OF the city TO find out how his
honor planT worked out. His dis.
appointment was great and, as the
result of that single trip, sixty CON-
plants against as many policemen
BY him. The outcome will probably
be shake-up in the police force and
the restoration of the 'shoo-fiy'
squad.
The New York police force may not
be as efficient as il might be, but II
would be unjust to place all the
blame upon the men. The system
that enables too many cooks TO med.
die with the broth. Is to great ex-
tent responsible for existing condi.
tons. The men are expected TO full.
all many duties. trivial in nature. but
taking so much time, that other, fai
more important duties. for instance
the ferTeting out and arrest oil
criminals, are neglected. Another
serious handicap consists in the fac
that in many cases the police magis
trafes are unwilling TO uphold tn.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mar. 20.-Min-
lister Limantour arrived here from
New York today and was accorded
tremendous ovation by the populace,
who had learned that the minister of
finance would probably succeed Presi-
dent Diaz, should a change be made.
Senior Limantour, in an interview,
emphatically denied the report that he
had come bringing proposals of peace
from General Madero and that he
would suggest any cabinet changes in
order to pacify the insurrectos. He
warned Mexcans. however, that every
day the rebellion was allowed to con-
tnue came nearer the danger OF fer
eign Intervention and international
complications that would bring Mex
leo into a serious position.

THREE CASTROS
ON MONGOLIA
Trio of Mysterious Ex-PreSi-
dents BY the Time Boat
Reached Coast.

When the Mongolia reached San
Francisco on her last trip from this
port, there were three President Cas-
tros aboard according to the San
Francisco Examiner The Examiner,
referring to the story started here in
Honolulu that the eX-prosident of
Venezuela was passenger, publishes
the following:
The Pacific Mail liner Mongolia
came into port yesterday from the
Orient with an unusually large mum
Der of first-class passengers, every
one of them an enthusiastic Sherlock
Holmes.
That's President Castro over
there" declared a young woman in
blue, who had boarded the steamer at
Honolulu. pointing toward precise
appearing man of middle age, wearing
eye glasses and with sandy hair and
Van Dyke
mo, you're altogether wrong eX-
claimed travelling companion, that
little, stout man with the black beard
is the president"
While the vessel was at Honolulu
the story started that the eXiled form
err ruler of Venezuela was on board.
All the way over even the playing OF
Kocian and other entertainment was
given scant attention. Something more
exciting was on foot.
Divided Into Camps.
A day out the ship was divided In
to two camps. One group of the en-
bryo students of ratiocination picked
out Julius Castro, around whom to
build a theory.
He did not much resemble the pic
lures of the fallen South American
dictator, but then was his name not
practically the same? He did not
seem to want to converse in English
with his fellow passengers, although
he dropped a word now and then that
indicated he was a master of the
tongue.
Jose Benevides, who got on the
steamer at Hongkong, looked like
former President Castro
"Ah!" whispered the disclaimers of
the de Castro theory. here is a dis
covery. President Castro is on board
really and is concealing himself I'M
der Portuguese name. Jose Vidal,
who Shoes every one away when an
attempt is made to talk with Bene-
vides, is the faithful secretary
Maybe Vidal is Castro and Benevi-
des his secretary. That's a solution
offered too.
All Three Deny.
When the Mongolia anchored in the
stream de Castro, Benevides and Vi
dial spoke for themselves.
De Castro shrugged his shoulders,
smiled and said: I'm Spanish and
my name is Castro. Ell Presidento?
No."
And Vidal and Benevides said nei

HILO, Mar. 2O-Beginning with
next month the laborers employed by
the county in the district of South
Hilo are to paid by the week. This
action is taken, according to Super
visor Austin, in order to deliver them
from the clutches of loan sharks who
have in the past been fattening on
the interest charged the laborers on
short term loans at usurious rates.
when the laborers are paid only
monthly, as is the case at present,
they are continually running short Of
money" said Austin last week. las
the end of the month draws near, they
find themselves short of cash. AS
consequence they go to certain mo-
ney lending outfit which charges them
interest at the rate OF five per cent a
month OF course, the consequence IS
that the laborers are losing a great
percentage of their wages
Now. the best way of stopping this
abuse is to stop the necessity for the
borrowing of money, and this we can
best do by paying the laborers on
every week The law does not spe-
city when Supervisor Lewis and my
self must pay the laborers in our dis
trict, and we can do it weekly, II We
please, and we have decided to do so.

ments with the bank. Every week
