ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 6, 1912.
The city school board at meeting held
the old rules that no children of parties
residing beyond the city limits shall be
admitted TO the public schools unless
their parents own property here, and in
addition thereto pay license for doing
business in the city.
This action was taken by the board a
few years ago because of the fact that
many children residing in either AleNan-
dria or Fairfax county attended the
public schools of this city, thereby in
creasing the burden of teaching, while the
city obtained absolutely no revenue by
way of recompense.
1t was announced by Superintendent Of
Schools w. III. Sweeney that everything
was in readiness for the reopening of the
schools Monday next.
1t is stated that when the schools re-
open there will be an increase in attend
ance shown of thirty-three pupils over
last year. The work of issuing permits
to children to attend the public schools
was completed this afternoon by II. D.
Kirk, clerk of the city school board.
Conrad Johnson will be the new prin-
cipal of the Alexandria High School, hav-
ing succeeded William "A. Anderson, jr,
resigned. Mr.. Johnson will be assisted
In the work by four other teachers. The
total enrolment of pupils up to the pres
ent time for the high school is 14O an
year.
In order that time may be given to or
ganize. no more permits will be issued
until September 16.

Another
Reason Why
You Should Own a
High View
Home

5000 a month is less than
the rent you'd pay for a
house equal to one of these
fine High View homes. Yet
this sum represents your
total monthly expenditure,
and it includes all interest.
Instead of getting rent
receipt you get a receipt that
shows money paid on your
own home. You are making
an investment that never
stops yielding returns. You
have tangible benefits to
show for the money spent.
Careful consideration of
the easy terms on which you
can buy a High View" home
and comparison of the value
received for the money
demonstrate the fallacy of
rent paying. Consider this
now. Only $500 cash and
$4,000 a month. Full price,
$1,000.

HER STORY IS SAD
Mrs. Rice Has Lost All and May
Go to Jail.
Dickinson-Riley County Row
Into Court Again.

Manhattan, Kan. Jan. 13.-There was
another chapter written in the Rice
Roe tragedy in the probate court of
this county. Mrs Rice, who formerly
lived here a lew months was brought
into court by the sheriff in a suit in
aid of execution to answer questions
concerning the disposition Of her pro-
perty. Her story was that she had
been robbed of 81 800 in cash and had
a $500 note and mortgage left. This
she agreed to surrender to the court
for her creditor. But there is a long
story back of this.
Mrs. Rice is the widow of a Mar
shall county farmer who died leaving
her a farm, 81, 600 of life insurance and
a daughter She sold her farm and
invested the proceeds in mortgages and
other securities. She moved to Man
haitian and was here two years ago.
She had a daughter of about Is who
seemed to be inclined to tread the for
hidden paths and so Mrs. Rice had the
girl sent to the reform school.
Then Trouble Came.
At about this time probably there
was the beginning of trouble for the
Roe family in Abilene. Roe was clerk
Of the court. In some OF her financial
transactions Mrs. Rice had occasion to
call at his office. They became infat-
uated with each other. Mrs. Roe final
~ sued for divorce and the affair got
into the papers It was stated that
Roe had entirely deserted his family.
Commenced by negIecting them and
going with the other woman, seeing
her on all possible occasions and be-
ing with her constantly; finally desert
ing his wife and practically living with
the other woman. 1t made a stir in
Abilene and finally Roe was forced to
resign his position as clerk. This he
did Mrs. Roe then brought suit
against Mrs. Rice for $1,000 and there
was no contest made nor was there
any to the divorce suit. This occurred
last year in the spring or summer
Since September Roe and Mrs Rice
lived at the same hotel in Kansas City
until a month or six weeks ago when
Mrs. Rice returned to Manhattan and
Roe to Abilene. While the damage
suit was pending, Mrs. Rice converted
her securities into cash. In the hear
ing she testified that she had $500
with her in Kansas City and that it
was stolen from her. That she had
$40 and q mortgage of $40 left.
After she landed in Manhattan she
wrote Roe to meet her here. She did
not know it, but Roe was sick unto
DEATH He died a few days ago and
her letters fell into the hands of Mr..
Crawford, attorney for Mrs. Roe. He
came to Manhattan to try and secure
what property Mrs. Rice has to apply
on the judgment She was brought
into the probate court and questioned
regarding the disposition she made of
her property. She agreed to give up
the mortgage but steadfaEtly denied
asked for an order requiring her to
turn over $500 in cash or go to jail
This is the one way of impriSOnfng
for debt in Kansas. She expressed her
willingness to go to jail. She allowed
the sheriff to search her effects, also.

BUSINESS IS QUIET

New York, Jan. 13.-Bradstreet' S
Trade in the larger lines remains
quiet, first because of the very colo

men from getting about and, secondly
because inventories still occupy more

at Boston affects shipping at that port:

I'm the opinion of Kirk Prather a
member of the Kansas Democratic
state executive committee, there has
been a very great change in the pub
lie sentiment regarding national poll
tics.
1.-THE Seventh district of Kansas,
which includes 80 counties, already
has Endorsed Speaker Clark said Mr..
Prather, at the Raleigh. THE Second
district, which is the most populous
district in the state and includes Kan
sas City, two months ago was almost
unanimous for Governor Wilson. Now
it is for Speaker Clark by an over
whelming majority. believe that the
other districts Of the state have ex-
perienced the same change Of sentf-
ment, and that seven of the eight
members Of the state executive com
mittee are for the speaker. Mr.. Clark,
in my opinion. will be nominated and
elected"
