Q. Has the tri-partite treaty been
under consideration? A. do not
know whether 7 understand to which
document you refer; but we have con-
sidered all the claims Salvador has
prevented, and, while we do not con-
cede her rights to object as to what
Nicaragua does, we are willing to
treat her the same as Nicaragua; to
buy naval base from each one Of
them, so we would have the whole
bay to choose from. We do not ask
it of Salvador and Honduras. but We
are willing to buy Of them also.
@. ANY protest as far as Costa Rica
is concerned? A. We have satisfied
their objection Nth an amendment
which they desired and which we
were willing to make, although we
die not deem it necessary, namely.
that this should not be construed to
impair any rights she had; they ask

Mr.. Evans then talked of the reso-
luton OF the State Teachers associa-
tion that was passed at its last meet
ing as an Endorsement of the State
wide measure. He favored the enact
ment of the best law rather than the
choice by the legislature or COM
promise measure.
He said that there was no argu-
ment on the side of inadequate facili-
ties, as he hau replies from 2S coun-
ties and all but four OF them replied
that there is sufficient number Of
school houses to take care Of all the
children.
He said that Senator Sinkler's bill
is the best local option bill' he has
seen but that he was against any
compulsory school attendance law
with such a feature. He said that
other states which formerly had the
local option feature in their statutes
and which had had time to try them
out have since turned to the State
wide feature.
Mr.. Harper then explained the diff
ferences between his bill and the two

S to 13 years. with certain exemp-
tions. The limit OF distance is placed
at two miles. The bill also provides
that the state may clothe a child
when such course is found neces-
sary.
Mr.. Harper's bill provides that the
school board furnish a list Of chill
dren to the superintendent, thus. he
said. doing away with the expense OF
a truant officer.
The greatest point Of difference is
the county option feature by which
such counties that vote against COM
pulsory school attendance are not re-
ouired to take on the provisions of
the law. Mr. Harper said that he
favored the qualified electors voting
on the bill. He maintained that there
should be adequate school facilities
before a Statewide law is enacted.

Conductor Veteran Harry
 ncDonald Dies Suddenly

At his home in Memphis on Tuesday morning about Il O clock Conductor Harry McDon- aid, age 72. the oldest Condu ,tor in the employ of the Rock Island Ky. died suddenly.
 Conductor Mcdonald has been running thro Brinkley for nearly half a century. His run during the past few years has been on the limited trains 45 and 46 be- tween Little Rock and Memphis. He wore upon the sleeve of his uniform 9 bars of gold braid each of the nine standing for five years showing as a mark of honor that he had been in the continuous employ of the road for 45 years and longer.
 He was entitled and would have been placed on the pension roll of the railroad at full pay, but actually begged to be allow ed to remain an extra year in action service.
 Harry Mcdonald had the dis tinction of having been in charge of the first passenger train that ever crossed the Mississippi river bridge at Memphis.
 His death was sudden and un- expected. He was due to bring out train No. 45 Wednesday morning but instead Train 45 carried his lifeless body to Little Rock where his funeral was con- ducted by the Scottish Rite Masons.

viii Record True
History of Trip
Col: Richard F. Beirne to
Chronicle Eoents of Blues
Excursion to West Coast.

Tho true history of tho hegira of the
Richmond Light Infantry Blues in COM
many with Governor Stuart and the
gallant colonies of his star will be
handed down to posterity.
Colonel Richard F. Bcirnc, OF Coving-
ton. yesterday advised Secretary Alex
ander Forward. of the Virginia Com
| mission to the Panama Pacific Inter
national Exposition, that he will Join
| the Governors party here tomorrow
and accompany the expedition not only
as n member OF the stan, but as a
news chronicler and historian.
His associate colonies breathcd a
deep sigh OF relief when the glad
tidings was conveyed 10 them by the
Governors secretary. for there had
been serious apprehension lest Colonel
Beirnc should find 1t necessary to de-
prive himself and the Virginia party
OF tho pleasure OF his company on tho
long journey to the Golden Gate. Col
oncl Beirnc reported several days ago
that business Of importance might COM
pei him to abandon the trip. He eN-
planned that the Covington Virginian,
OF which he is the editor had installed
press that had developed buckinG
prOpensities. and that he was dividing
his time between grinding out n daily
diadem OF literary gems IN the sanctum
and wrestling with the fiery, untamed
engine for the transmission OF new =
lllouSut III TIE pEessIOOHl. ne
final assurance from Col Beirnc makes
ii clear that the refractory press has
capitulated. At meeting Of OF the
general committee on arrangements
held yesterday 1t was decided to
lengthen the exposition trip OF the Gov
ernor's party one day. The Governor
and the colonies OF his STAFF desire to
make a moro extensive exploration OF
the wonders Of Yellowstone Park than
the four days originally allotted for
this part of the tour Will permit.
Hence it was decided to devote 1--WE
days to sightseeing in the great
national park. The Blues itinerary
will not be affected by this change.
The visit to the park Will be made
on the return trip. and the Governor y
party Will not return with the militia
men.

EXAMINERS OF RECORDS
ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS
as to Their Duties and
Responsibilities.
MAY PUT LIMIT ON PROBING
Improbable. Say Fee Officers, to Go
Back More Than One Year in
Search for Unlisted Intangibles
Subject to Taxation.

Examiners OF records in several dis
tricts have found tho expense Of delv-
ing into the records Of the estates of
living persons further back than year
or two greater than tho returns that
come to them in the form OF fees
They are accordingly much con-
cerned TO know whether or not the
new tax laws under which they arc
operating make it compulsory for them
to make such extensive researches as
examiners in the larger cities Of the
State have made. The returns to the
examiners in the cities where the bulk
OF intangibles is concentrated, make
II very profitable for these more for
tunate examiners to search back ten
years or more, bringing to light In
tangible values upon which taxes have
been omitted. But what is profitable
Tor the few is apparently not SO for
the many.
The State Advisory Board on Taxa
ton met yesterday afternoon in execu-
tive session in the office of Governor
stuart. and considered this question
and others bearing upon the now tax
laws. AS result. Attorney-Genera
Pollard has been asked to give an
opinion on the different questions That

important question to be decided ia
whether the law makes It compulsory
for examiners OF records to probe
many years back into the estates OF
living persons for the purpose OF un-
covering omitted items OF taxable
values In the form OF intangible
property.

on the items he has omitted in past

deferred going TO the expense of, prob
ing back more than a year or two, be.
cause they see no profit in IL, and they
do not believe the law was intended
TO impose financial losses upon them
Hence. they have submitted their cues

who in turn has placed the matter be-
fore the Advisory Board
j. L. McLemore. Of Big Stone Gan,
examiner for Lee and Wise Counties
has complained. according to a report
that intanSibles are not being returned
in Russell, Buchanan and Dickinson
Counties by the examiner for that dis
trict, which adtoins his own. 1t Is
also reported that property owners In

to divulge intangibles omitted for many
years past. the examiner in the nd
