from that of the previous month. :,
Miss Fannie Smith was chosen prin-
cipal of Lee; School by unanimous
vote, she having been the only candi-
date placed in nomination. She will
receive $40 a month. Miss Smith

The committee Or. studies and dis
! cipline, to whom the matter of hours

ferred, recommended that the school
be opened at nine a. M, dismissed al
twelve noon, and called to order

white schools. ~ They also recon-
rnended that the rule apply to Wash

Mr.. Kirk opposed the adoption Of
the report of the committee, and Mes.
srs. Thompson and Monroe, members
of the committee, urged its adoption
as did also Superintendent Sweeney,
member of the committee eX-officio.
After much had been said in favor
of adopting the report and equally
as much in opposition to it, on mo-
lion Of Mr.. Cox. it was agreed that
the proposed rule be enforced until
the next regular meeting: and if It
was found to be S.:table to the ma
iority interested, it would be perpet-
uated, but should it be found to work
any hardship upon the greater num-
her it would be annulled and other
rules formulated.
A petition signed by virtually all
the pupils of the high school had been
received in which it was urged tina!
the school be closed half an hour be-
tween twelve and one o'clock and
that the school be dismissed at two
thirty p. m.
The City Superintendent announced
that the pressure upon Washington
school had been relieved materially
by the removal Of Tie third and fourth
grades to the new building, two humid
red Eaving been transferred. but
that it would still be necessary to
use one room in the old Howell build
ing.
1t was announced that the Prince
street building would be known here
after as "Lee SCHOOL," instead of
"Lec School for Girls" and that the
new structure would be known as
"The Alexandria High School," The
names will be placed upon the front
Of each structure in gildcd letters.

TO STATE
Morton county Wants Assistance in
VanWoncr Prosecution.

Morton county officials today APP
peaIed to Governor Capper for state
aid in the prosecution of Don Van
Womer for the murder of Sheriff Mar
tin Moore. Officials from Morton
county asked that either s. NJ. Brew
ster. attorney general, or an assistant
in his office be sent to the county to
aid in the prosecution.
The recent killing of Sheriff Moore
has aroused Morton county people to
a high pitch and feeling is inteEse.
County officials today told the COVER
nor that state aid was needed in the
prosecution. Brewster assisted in the
prosecution of the Nellie Byers muir
der case in Grant county and 1t now
seems that he may make another trip
into the southwest country. Sheriff
Moore was killed when he sought to
arrest VanWomer. The shooting is
said TO have been the result of a long
standing feud in Morton county.
Attorneys for VanWomer today ap-
peaIed to the supreme court for writ
of habeas corpus. The writ is directed
against the present sheriff and de-
mands bail for VanWomer in an
aeount not to exceed $4,000. To
date vanWomer has been denied bail
His trial will probably be held in
October or November.
