S. |. ACADEMY
OPENS MONDAY
Headmaster Page Invites
Callers to Institution.

The next school year of the Staten
Island Academy begins on Monday,
September IS. The headmaster,
Frank R. Page, will be at the school
at st. George on and after Monday
next, September II. He will be glad
of an opportunity to show all call
ers the building and tell them more
about the school.
1t was interesting during the past
year at the Staten Island Academy
to note how many visitors, espe-
cially the newer patrons, expressed
surprise at the excellence Of the
school. One of these voiced the
opinion of several when she said
'If all the people on Staten Island
with children to educate knew the
advantages offered at the Staten Is
land Academy you would, have a
waiting list OF hundred names"
Most Staten Islanders knaw the
Academy, know 1t casually; not so
many realize how It is growing In
numbers and in efficiency. In two
year one hundred new patrons have
been added to the rolls of the Acad-
envy.
The school does not advertise ex-
tensively; it does not seek wide
spread publicity. 1t has now a Sc
Iected list OF about three hundred
names, of which yours is one, to
which its advertising Is mailed
The Academy belongs to the com
munity. 1t is not a privately owned
school. 1t is not a money-making
institution. All profit goes toward
making the school more efficient.
In it's building, II In enuinmenJ, m
its artistic atmosphere, 1t is rarely
equalled among private schools the
country over.
The Academy Is centrally located,
within two minutes of all trolley
lines and within five minutes of
Rapid Transit trains. Suitable es-
cort for little children to and from
transportation lines is provided
when requested.

ARGUMENTS IN CAPITAL CASE
The Legality of the Removal From
Guthrie to Oklahoma City Be-
fore Supreme Court.

Washington, April 6-oral argu-
ments of the legality of the removal
of the capital from Guthrie to Okla
homa City were begun yesterday in
the supreme court of the United
States. Judge Frank Dale of Okla
homa argued that congress had pro-
vided in the enabling act under which
Oklahoma was admitted that the CAPT
tai should remain in Guthrie until
1918. Attorney General West cited an
act of the Oklahoma legislature Of
last December as the authority justi-
tying the removal. He referred to the
Oklahoma liquor and freight cases de-
cided by the supreme court last Mon
day as determining the matter in his
favor. Arguments will be concluded
today

TO RESCUE OF PRESIDENT DlAz
Japan Was Insisting on a Coaing
Station When President Taft
Sent Troops South.

El Paso, Tex, April 6.-An eXplana.
tion bearing all the marks of authen-
ticity, clearing up the American-Mexi-
can-Japanese situation, WAS given
here by one of the most prominent
Mexican-Americans in the country.
According to this informant, Presi
dent Diaz was seeking way to re
fuse a coaling station on Magdalena
bay to the Japanese even before the
renewal of the American govern.
ment's contract came up for discus
sion.
"Diaz," said the Mexican-American
found himself between the upper and
lower millstones. He was impressed
with the influx of Japanese into Mex
leo and in particular with the knowl-
edge that they had mapped his entire
western coast. Slow, insistent pres
sure was brought on him to give
Japan a coaling station on Magdalena
bay. On the other side waa the
United States and the Monroe Doc
trine."

EMPLOYEES GOT AZ PER CENT
That is the Amount Paid by the Rail-
roads According to Railway
News and Statistics.

Chicago, April 6.-The seventh an
nual report of the bureau of railway
news and statistics, contains much of
interest, following year of many
disputes between the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce commission.
The following information is taken
from the report:
For the fiscal year transportation
revenues amounted to $2,787 ,266, 900;
operating expenses to $1,S47, 900;
taxes to $104,144,076, and income from
operation, 1901 1,542,879.
An analysis of the business, accord
ing to the report, shows that instead
of the railways paying $405,131,650 in
dividends, as stated in Commissioner
Lanes decision, only $166,S2S,S74
could have been paid out of transpor-

DEMOCRATS FOR
RECIPROCITY
The Party Solidly Behind President
Taft.
REAL TROUBLE IN The SENATE
Republicans There Have Amend
ments to Offer-One Faction
Would increase Free List
the Other Curtal.

Washington, April 6.-When Speak.
er Champ Clark in his speech before
the house neglected to mention the
Canadian reciprocity treaty as one OF
the measures sure to pass the house
at the present session the Republican
leaders took notice. They imagined
that 1t was most significant Incl
dent indicating that perhaps the Dem
ocrats had decided to throw the treaty
over and in that way embarrass the
administration.
But when Speaker Clark gave out a
statement explaining that the omis-
sion was accidental, and that in the
enumeration of the things the Demo
Gratis had decided upon, he was mere
ly recounting the specific pledges
made by his party in the last cam
paign official Washington drew a
breath of relief.
Without the support Of the Demo
Gratis in the house the Canadian
treaty would be hopeless indeed. In
the last session the Democrats voted
for it, but majority of the Republi-
cans were against 1t. In the present
congress 1t is said that only a bare
majority of the Republic house mem
bers are for it. 1t is expected, how
ever, that by the time the vote Is TAX
en- its Republican support in the
house will be augmented through the
aggressive fight that will be made to
get the party in line for the admin
istration measures. But the Demo
Gratis are united in their support OF
the bill, as they are united on prac-
tically every item in their program
for the session.
The treaty will find its real trouble
in the senate, where the progressive
Republicans are waiting for 1t with an
armful of amendments to increase its
free list. The objection the progress
sives are making to the measure Is
that it does not go far enough. On
the other hand there are a number OF
the reactonary Republicans who op.
pose it because they see in 1t a
menace To the protective tariff idea.
Still, there is no reason for be
lieving that the treaty will not pass
both houses and become law before
the session ends. The Democrats may
not permit it to pass the house, how
ever, until the rest OF their program
is carried out. They may hesitate
to give the Republicans the Canadian
treaty and then have the senate de-
feat everything the Democrats are
asking for.
