SCHOOL BOARD IS
TO BUY PROPERTY
Promises West Side Improve
ment Association 1t Will
Build School.

The location of the new school build
ing in West Richmond will be deter
mined by the Richmond city school
board and the committee ON public
grounds of the West Side Improve
ment association
Charles w. Jordan, representing the
school board, appeared before the i'm
provement association last evening
and informed it of the willingness of
the school board to cooperate at once
with the association in providing ad-
ditional housing facilities for school
children in West Richmond. Superin-
tendent Mott was also present.
1t was decided that the site of the
school building should be somewhere
near the Abingdon pike and near South
West E street. AS soon as the school
board and the association committee
on public grounds selects the location,
the plat will be purchased and the
building will be constructed early next
spring and be ready for occupancy
with the opening of school in 1872
The association was told by the
school authorities that there is no
method of keeping the $1,000 in Rich,
mond, which now flows to the state
school fund because there are so few
school children in Richmond and tax
es bring in more than the apportion
ment for Richmond.
Relative to the dusty condition OF
the National Road it was expleined
that sand must be placed on the tar
via surface to roll the thoroughfare
The city cannot remove the sand until
the county commissioners accept the
highway. AS soon as the commission
ers assept the improvement the city
will remove the sand which now
makes the street dusty in hot weather
and muddy in wet weather.

SOUTHERN EDUCATOR
ADDRESSED TEACHERS
Pleaded for Democracy in
Education and Upheld
Public School System.

The address of H. H. Cherry, presi.
dent of the Kentucky Normal school
before the Wayne County Teachers
association was regarded one of the
most eloquent appeals for public
school education that has been deliv
cred in Richmond for many years.
The Rev. w. o. Stovall, pastor OF
the First Baptist church, spoke the in
vocation, and Mrs. F. w. Kreuger sang
several solos.
"Our Government and Education
was the topic on which Professor
Cherry spoke. He argued that grea,
commonwealth cannot be bestowed
but that it must be achieved through
education. He said in part:
THE genius of America makes il
the duty of every member of democ
racy to secure an education, to make
al ideal, selfhood, and to be a right
eous and aggressive factor in society
After all, there is no music in America
SO sweet as the singing of a spinning
idea as it passes through the spiritua
universe; no chorus like the rattle O
spiritual artillery; no solo that equal:
the boom Of a moral gatling gun; NJ
fleet so strong and stately as a flee
of white ideas sailing the sea of life
Battles between ideas. duels between
personalities are the natural product:
! of republic. The only thing that cal
vanquish an idea is a superior idea
Democracy calls on you, and you, tt
create a superior idea and send it OF
it's course of. liberating slaves ant
making freeman.
Democracy salutes the little rec
school house on the hill as the tempt.
of liberty. 1t salutes the teacher o
character and scholarship who ring
the bell and calls the children to books
as a nobleman who gives his life TO
the Stars and Stripes. 1t salutes tn,
layman of patriotic vision who goei
behind the school, Americas temple o

BACKING UPRISING
Asserted that Former Mexi-
can President Is Backing
His Nephew in Revolt.
(National News Association)

MEXICO CITY, (Via Galveston,
Tex, Nov. 19.-Porforio Diaz, former
president and dictator of Mexico came
out in the open today as the real insti-
gator of the latest revolution against
the Madero government.
In a cabled message from Paris, the
expresident "approved' the uprising
of his nephew, Gen. Felix Diaz, whose
insurrection is sweeping toward the
capital and declared that he would
give it his moral assistance.
1t is believed here. that Porforio
Diaz went further and gave official as
sistance also. Agents of Felix Diaz
are sounding the United States gov
ernment at Washington to ascertain
how the state department would re-
gard the return of the eX-dictator.
Porforia DiaZ may come here and lead
a revolt in person if the allied revolu-
tionary leaders demand it.
Five big cities are now held by the
allies and the rebels are drawing their
lines closer and closer to Mexico
City. The cities in possession of the
insurgents are Vera Cruz, Jalipa, Pu-
eblo, Tampico and Orizaba.
Meetings will be held in each of
manding the recall of Diaz and the re,
signation of Madero. Copies of these
resolutions will be forwarded to the
eXiled president. At some of the mass
meetings citizens went so far as to &C
claim Perforic Diaz as president and
Felix Diaz as "the next minister OF
war;
This city is menaced on two sides
The garrison has been reduced to a
minimum and the situation here is
dangerously acute. Zapata with 5000
men is at Tres Marias, thirty miles
westward while an army of Diaz ad
herents under Col. Ordaz is moving to-
ward the capital from Vera Cruz.
Fighting is reported to be in pro
gress along the inter-oceanic railway
ten miles west of Vera Cruz between
Gen. Huerta's advance guard and the
rebels.
Commercial houses and residents
here are preparing to undergo a siege
! The Meagre garrison of $50 soldiers is
being strengthened by rurales and po
licemen.
The total army of insurgents com
prising the divisions of Orozco, Agui
lar, Zepata and Diaz number about u,
600 men. Five hundred rebels from
Oaxaca joined Diaz today. Diaz now
has 1400 men in Vera Cruz and 1906
men west of that city to oppose Huer
ta's attack.
Fears of United States Intervention
| which had been 1ulled, were revived
again today when it was learned that
the cruiser Des Moines would probab
| ly be sent to Vera Cruz to protect
American lives and interests.
The government has declared Vera
| Cruz in a state of siege. President Ma
dero is preparing for the fight of hi:

There may lave been some who
caviled at Mr.. Chasc's preliminary per-

largest theater in Washington, the
handsomcst in America, and, in COM
parison with the other noted play
houses of the world, the richest in lux
urious inVcstiture and decorative orna-
mentatiOn. Washington is not acCus-
toned to such eNaltation above the rest
of the earth. although it has had abun-
dant reason to cherish abiding faith in
Mr.. Chase, who originated the polite
vaudeville policy and became its only
advocate when his contemporaries and
even the public insisted that the words
spelled disaster.
Now, there stands in plain view at
Fifteenth and G streets northwest, the
material realization of Mr.. Chase's ideal
and the substantial proof of the verify
of part of his advance assertions. The
ew structure fairly daZZles the behold

its radiant whiteness making 1t the most
conspicuous building in the heart of
the financial district. While serving as
both OffiCe-bulding and theater. the
latter character has been permitted to
dominate the exterior decorative scheme
and theatrical symbols in marble on
the G street side.
Mr. Chase has given a contract for
the construction of a $4,000 self-paying
