One of the big features Of the
morning entertainment were the
highland fling and Scotch reel danced
by real Caledonians. Misses Watson

Musical features Of the program
were tn epiano solo by Miss Hoben OF
Portland, "Annie Laurie" by Mrs.
Halle Parish Hinges of Portland, a

NIAGARA FALLS, May ga
midnight conference of the MEDIA
ticn commissioners was held here
following reports from Washington
that the rebels might be represent

possibilities in connection with the
negotiations. The Mexican ENJOYS
ere particularly interested but didn't
comment on the matter.
Lamar and Lehman talked by tele-
phone today with the White House.
The mediators and Mexican ENJOYS
conferred informally.
1t is expected that Vasconelos will
outline to the mediators informally,
represent him further as negotiations
progress. II is the general opinion
that the entrance of the rebels into
the deliberations may spin the con-
ference out indefinitely.

President upon the petition of local
citizens, has failed to appreciate the
leniency extended to him and Is now

ed charge of the same nature Is the
statement of Superintendent Swartz-
lander of the Umatilla Indian agency
Superintendent Swartzlander states
that he has furnished the United
States prosecuting attorney with the
details of the case and he thinks 1t
a good one despite the fact that some
of the evidence was afterwards de-
stroyed.
According to his story, Redford
and Mrs. c. L. Swain. one of the cooks
at the agency drove up to the agency

girl pupils to stop, walk into the field
and bury something. After they
drove away. the girls went to the
spot. dug In the ground and discover

the bottles over to Clerk Barbour who
placed them in the vault.
Upon reaching the agency, Redfort

cooks, and in carrying packages int

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Because
he realized that II the man really was
to blame and the late Pierpont Nor
gan was indicted, it would have killed
him, Mellen concealed the truth and
accepted the in iictment himself. In
repayment, Morgan's son practically
fired Mellen as head of the New
Haven. In a remarkable statement
embodying this contention, Mellen
concluded his testimony before the
commerce commissioners. The wit
ness referred to the grand trunk
New Haven deal and explained 1t in
detail.
This transaction was Morgan's do
ing" he said. But / decided to
shoulder the blame because I realized
the state of Morgan's health. 1 knew
positively 1t would have killed him
had he been indicted. There was
nothing I wouldn't have done to aid
him" The hearing adjourned until
Tuesday.

cided to start the work in the grades.
The idea was strongly advocated by
r. f. Chioupek. head of the depart
ment. and he is urging that the ex-
tension of the course go so far that
even the primary grades will receive
instructions along these lines. The
board authorized him to purchase new
equipment and promised to provide
him with an assistant instructor. II
is probable that the sixth. seventh and
eighth grades will take their manual
training work at the high school
while the lower grades will be able to
do their simple construction work at
their own schools.
The transfer of the eighth grades to
the high school and the change in the
manner of instruction. while not defi-
nitely decided upon. has been dis
cussed so favorably by the board that
Supt. Landers has been authorized to
work out his plan along those lines
This will be a marked innovation but
i. has been tried and found highly
satisfactory in larger schools.
The advantages are several. In the
first place it gives the pupil the ad-
vantage of instruction from several
teachers instead of one. The old idea

state department has promised an
,early report of the conference between
