BILL FOR TWO
HIGH SCHOOLS IS
FILED IN SENATE
Lane of Oregon Fathers Move
to Divide Fund Appropriated
For Central District.

Two new high schools for the Dis
trict, costing respectively s750,000
and s450,00O, instead. OF a single
building costing $1,200,0o0, are pro-
vfded for in a bill introduced in the
Senate today by Senator Lane OF
Oregon who would erect a high
school building in the eastern sec
ton of the Capital as recommended
by the District Commissioners in
their recent communication to the
Senate.
One for Eastern Section.
The bill, which was referred TO the
District Committee of the Senate after
some discussion, purposes to divide the
appropriation of S,2O0OO0 made last
March for Central High School build
ing at Eleventh and Clifton streets
northwest, AMI put UP at that location
a building to cost not more than $4,000,
the balance of the money to go to the
establishment OF a high school some
NI.sIe III the eastern part OIL tne CITY.
The original appropriation for the new
Central High School was only s750,000,
but this was substantially increased at
conference of the Appropriations Com
rlitfees. For that amount a building
can be erected tnat will accommodate
l,s0 pupils. A s;,2oo.0oo building would
house 25p pupils. The District Com
missioners say that such a capacity is
not needed at present.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
took part in the discussion of the bill,
and insisted that it would be mistake
to make any change in present plans
without mature consideration.
THE decision to increase the original
Appropriation from $50 900 to 81, ,200, 900
Was not reached in any haphazard way;
ii was not done impulsively CT vio-
1ently," said Mr.. Gallinger. "It is the
judgment of many people that We have
passed the period of small schools. The
District is gridironed with small school
buildings. and that is one of the reasons
for the heavy cost of education here"
Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Smoot of Utah also took part in the dis
cussion. Both favored the new bill.

INTEND TO IGNORE
FRISCO EXPOSITION
England and Germany Wanted
United States to Send Ex-
hibits to Their Fairs.

That Great Britain and Germany have
no intention of participating officially
in the Panama Exposition at San Fran
cisco unless this Government comes
across with exhibits in expositions in
which they themselves are interested, lis
indicated by the latest efforts being
made by the English to persuade the
United States to exhibit at the Anglo
American exposition in London.
Imre Ki-alfy, director general of the
Anglo-American exposition, is in Wash
ington. He has called on Secretary
Bryan. and, as a semi-official represen-
tative Of his country, has asked the
Secretary of State to use his good ef-
forts in getting an American exhibit
sent to London. Mr.. Bryan today re-
ferred the matter to President Wilson.
The London exposition is to commemo-
rate the hundred years peace between
the United States and Great Britain.
As it opens next May, this country has
but little time in which to appropriate
money for the exhibit.
Next summer at Leipsic, Germany,
there will open an exposition of graphic
arts. Two years ago, when Germany
first began preparing for the exhibit.
an invitation was extended to this coun-
try to participate, and a bill was intro
duced IN Congress appropriating $4,000
for the expenses Of an exhibit. The bill
has never escaped from the pigeon
hole In which II was placed
Germany Is said to have limited on
several occasions that 1t would like the
United States to appropriate the money,
but nothing has been done. In the
meantime the United States, in semi
official way. has been urging both Ger
many and England to send exhibits to
San Francisco. Both countries have
held of. although. it is said, the popu-
lar feeling In both favors participation

Des Moines. March 10. - Alex
(Pappy) Davis. negro. so years old,
was murdered in the White Chapel
district Saturday. William Morton
and Mrs. Bella West. negroes. residing
at 400 South West Second street. have
been arrested in connection with the
killing. A specific charge Of murder
has been lodged against Morton, while
the negress 10 bulletined for investi-
cation. A bloody handkerchief, ditched
in the police patrol by Morton, while he
was on the way to Police headquarters
is taken by the police to substantiate
their beItef~that he was implicated in
the murder. 1t is being held as evil
dence
The tragedy occurred in front of the
Midway saloon at Fourth and Elm
streets, at $3.50 o'clock. There were
practically no witnesses to the shooting
itself and the story obtained by the
police Is. as q result, rather a jumbled
affair. The theory Of the origin of the
trouble given the most credence Is that
Davis, while on his way home, met
Morton and the West woman. Previous
strife between the negress and Davis
occasioned an exchange Of words and,
it is believed, Davis then struck her in
the cheek with his fist. This drew her
escort, Morton. into the battle. He, as
the story goes, pulled q .38 caliber re-
volver from his pocket and shot point
blank at Davis, three times.

uncovered enough of the rat poison to
kill the chickens. The loss of fifty
good chickens at this season of the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cities to Join in
Promoting Joyous oecasion-othsr
News Of Iowa.

Keokuk, March 10.-Tuesday, Aug. 5.
is the day that has been definitely
fixed for the celebration OF the COM
pleting Of the water power develop
ment at Keokuk and Hamilton. The
executive committee, which has Off
cially designated the forthcoming event
as the tri-state power zone celebration,
has reached the determination as to a
fixed date after consideration of all
the factors that will enter into the oc-
cas!on. There are many reasons why
the celebration should be held on or
about that time and 1t is equally i'm
portant that the exact date be fixed
now, so the committee has acted in the
matter.
A spectacular feature of the event is
to be steamboat pageant on the lake
that will be created by the dam and
excursions from all the cities and
i towns within the power zone. The
management of steamboat lines make
contracts in advance for almost the
entire season and II eight or ten boats
are to be chartered for excursions to
this city on the day of the celebration
t.
it must be done in advance. If con-
tracts were entered into with other
cities the management Of the lines
could not be expected to cancel their
engagements for the celebration here.
Will Suit the President.
Other reasons are assigned for the
choosing Of this date. One of the most
important is that it will more than any
other, so far as known at this time,
suit the convenience of President Will
son who will be present at the dedica-
ton or opening ceremony, which is eX-
pected to be an impressive affair that
will attract tens Of thousands of peo-
pie. People Of this section of the west
may now arrange their personal af-
fairs and public matters with reference
to the fixed date Of the celebration
which most all of them will be anxi-
Gus to witness and be participants in.
