After q debate which practically con-
sumed a whole day. the House, by a
vote OF 90 to 40, passed a bill by Con
dray of Faulkner and Miller Of White
to repeal state aid to high schools,
This is the second time the house has
taken this course, having passed a
similar bill In 1913. 1t affects 151 high
schools in all parts Of the state. Fig
ures were shown that the tuition of
pupils aided in this manner costs the
state S16 per annum, against $125
each per annum in the agricultural
schools, and $500 in the State Normal.
State aid was defended by Messrs.
Bell, Gentry, Brawner, Reid, Hunph-
reys, Buchanan, Creekmore and Bur
row, while those who spoke against it
were Messrs. Belote, Griffin, Ellis and
Joiner.
: The chief contention OF those who
supported the bill we're that state aid
is unconstitutional and discriminates
against the children in the rural dis
tricts. The $4,000 appropriated bien-
nially for state aid comes out Of the
common school fund.
"The state-aid law" declared Mr.
Condray, violates the constitution
because it authorizes the use of part
Of the common school fund for high
school purposes, 1t makes the rural
schools support the high schools,
which is contrary to the principle gov
erning the taxation for common school
purposes. This law has also worked
TO build up an educational machine,
and lobby is now being maintained
here by the Department OF Education
for the defeat Of this bill A state
department has no business trying to
influence the vote OF this legislature"
These contentious were answered
by the friends OF state aid, who held
that the policy has already demonstrate
ed that it is a most essential factor In
the states educational system; that
it enables the child to have in his own
county or community all the advan'
tages OF high school training without
the necessity of going away to an aca-
deny or preparatory training school
or to some other county which has
high school facilities,
MIR. Buchanan, whose father was for
many years president Of the University
OF Arkansas, favored the retention oS
state aid as a means Of strengthening
the whole common school system, ut
Is q backward STEP" said he, "and not
n step in the interest Of the country

Screams of Companions Brighten Assailant And

Felix Lombardo, aged 22, living at S6 Lexington avenue, is under arrest today. after an attack upon Is years old Mildred Jennings of Howard ave- nue, whom he grabbed viciously by the shoulders and would have harmed her had not two schoolgirl compan- ions raised an alarm which caused him to run away. While the two companions continued towards the Map1ewodd school, from the corner of Howard and Maplewood avenues, the Jennings girl, who has recently underwent an operation upon her head. ran home in an unnerved condt- ton.
 Later, Lombardo was see lettering about the vicinity of the house and the police were notified. Policemen GorgaS and Sheef1an were sent to the scene but were forestaIled by a driver for Crouch & Plassman, the bakers, who seeing the man and hear ing the women's screams, recognized him and was about to cI1astise him severely when the officers arrived.
 The p1ucky girl s1apHed Lombar- dos face during the attack. She was able to identify him as her assai1ant when captured. Lombardo is said to be known to the police who believe that he may be the man who recently approached several women in the vi- cinity of the new high school

No Ship Names On
 British Naval Lists

London. May 3.-The first official navy list ever issued without the names of ships has just appeared. It was evidently considered necessary to conceal from the Germans any data which might reveal the full strength of the British navy.
 The list Of officers and men on ac- tive service covers 30 pages Of double columns, while the Royal Naval Re- serve and the Volunteer Naval Re- serve occupies sz pagea more. A large number of the volunteer reservists hold temporary commissions.

Cal thorp, novelist; Lord Loughborough, of Olympic Game fame; L. G. Chiozza- Money, the writer on economies; and others.

 An attack from this quarter had been predicted in Petrograd de- spatches as an offset to Russian efforts further east on the Car pathian front. The direction in which this new and sudden stroke l has been made, evidently in great force, lies to the south of of Russian Poland.
 Sharp fighting has. been resum- ed on the Flanders side. French, German and British official state ments tell of German attacks near Hill 50, which the British re- gently captured and in the vicin- ity of St. Julien, both in the Ypres region.

 The Italian cabinet has decid ed not to postpone the assembling of parliament on May 2 and it : thought in Rome that parliament may assist the cabinet in reaching "a decision which now appears to be almost inevitable.''

Belgian Prisoners
 'Cheered By Countrymen

Amsterdam, May 3--Seventy Belgian prisoners who recently passed through Bruges in charge of guard of Ger man cavalry received a resounding welcome from the Belgian inhabitants of the town, notwithstanding the or ders of the German municipal author ities that no demonstrations were to take place.
 The prisoners, who included infant rymen and engineers, were captured near Driegrachten. As they passed down the streets of Bruges, the people of the town gathered along the side walks. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved in the air and there were shouts of 'fV1ve Ia Belgigue,' 'Leve Belgie' and 'Ieve de Kmning.'' The prisoners smiled and answered back, Courage, comrades.' Meanwhile the crowd showered them with gifts of fruit, chocolate, sandwiches and cheese.
 While the enthusiasm was at its height, some of the German horsemen charged the crowd. It is said that the municipal authorities will assess 8 fine against the popu1ace for the unauthor- ized demonstration

 Gen. Tremeau's Memory

Paris. May 3-Gen. Tremeau, who recently died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident, was vir- tualIy the commander-in-chief of the army during the period of his service as vice-president of the higher war council. He is well remembered by all the officers who served under him for his vigor. quickness of decision and plain way of speaking After the annual army nnaneuvers in 1910 in the Champagne province. he address ed the general officers as is usual un- der such circumstances, He started out in the usual honeyed tone and fin ished as follows:
 "Gentlemen," he said, eff the great emperor had been able to come back among us and witness the maneuvers that we have just accomplished upon the scene of his glorious exploits, he would find that we have borne our selves in a particularly pttiable man ner.''
 The severity of his criticisms made him 8 great many political enemies and it was this more than anything else that brought about his resigna- ton in 1911.

Fail To Find Trace
 of Sunday Burglars

Police investigation into the rob berries of the Lucius H. Mills home s1267 Fairfield. avenue. and the John Schwing residence, 2221 North aye nue, Sunday night, where several hundred dollars worth of loot, mostly jewelry. were taken after entrance had been forced to the houses while the families were absent, is being made today. No trace of the robbers has yet been made
 Superintendent Eugene Birming- nam. while today expressing the belief that the work was that of one man and a professional burglar, again called attention to his repeated warn ings to householders against leaving their homes unprotected.
 The police head stated again that such action only invites robberies by persons who are waiting such chances, but makes thieves from beg gars and .peddlers who observing the ease with which places can be ran sacked, at once begin the work when they are assured that no one is home to molest them.
