CENTRAL SCHOOL
APPROPRIATION
CAN'T BEsPENT
Law Prevents Needed Repairs
Says Committee Chairman
HoIiinger

Central grammar school needs a
new building for the 500 news pupils
expected to register in September
The Legislature appropriated $S0,0O0
for that purpose and the supervisors
want TO spend 1t now. Yet they can't
The laws bind them in such g. way
that 1t is impossible TO erect $4,000
building in time for the opening of
school, to say nothing of putting up
the 24-room addition to the school at
cost OF about $4,000 that the school
committee of the board thinks neces-
sary.
The last legislature appropriated
$S4 200 for the supervisors TO spend
on new school buildings for the two
year period beginning January /, 1916.
Half of this can be spent in each cal
endar year. The supervisors, by ordi-
nance, created a fiscal period ending
June 80 each year. This splits the
$42, 100 into two sums, of s21,050 each.
The S21, $50 viii be collected before
July / and is now available. Part of
it has been spent. The rest could be
used for the erection OF new build
ing for Central Grammar School.
After July 1 the balance of the $21,-
$50 collected plus the $21 ,050 expect
ed by January 1 could be spent. I'M
til then no contracts for the expendi-
ture of more than the balance of this
first half-year's fund can be made. If
it was not for the ordinance creating
the fiscal year ending June 80 the
whole $42, 100, or what remains of II,
could be spent, S30,0G0 for the Cen
trail school addition.
The present building Is in a dilapi-
dated condition and, in the words of
Ben Hollinger, chairman of the school
committee, "ready to fall to pieces. :"
He believes that it would be economy
to tear 1t down and erect a new "a
room school>at a cost of about 6e.000
instead of putting up 100000 addi-
ton.
Unless the $4,000 appropriated by
the legislature for the addition is
spent by the end of the present year
1t will be credited to the next school
budget and be a total loss to the city
and county and the school department.
That is another complication, The adj

Leoe,s. of the Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
was first reported to the civilized world
by the early Spanish explorers in 1910.
The In 1ian legend of the Grand can
yon is picturesque. There was great
chief who mourned the death of his
wife and would not be comforted. To
him came Ta-Vwoats, one of the In
dian gods, and told him that his wife
was in a happier land to which he
would take him that he might see for
himself if upon his return he would
cease to mourn. The chief promised.
Then Ta-Vwoats made trail through
the mountains that guarded that beau
tfful land. This trail was the canyon
gorge of the Colorado. Through it Ia
Vwoats led the chief, and when they
had returned the god exacted from the
chief a promise that he would tell. no
one of its joys lest, through discomfort
with the circumstances of this world,
others should desire to go there. Then
Ta-Vwoats rolled q river into the gorge,
a mad, raging stream, that should en-
gulf any that might attempt to enter
thereby. This river was the Colorado.

wireless to Columbus, N. MA re-
port has just reached headquarters
here that Troops K and NJ of the Sew
enth cavalry were in a fight with Viii
listas to the south of here
A number of Villistas were killed
and 50 captured Eight of the cap
tured men confess to having taken
part in the raid at Columbus
Two of this number were suffering
from wounds which made it impossi-
Bile to move them. The other six were
taken to camp and will be sent back
to Columbus.
Villas Death Unconfirmed.
San Antonio, Tex, April 12.-Gen-
eral Funston said that General Perish
ing had made no request for additional
troops
Headquarters officials were frank in
their expressions of amazement that
General Pershing had gone so far with
the forces he has and almost hourly
have expected word from him that he
dare not send further into Mexico the
cavalry columns now about Parral, 400
miles south of the border, unless more
men for the extension of the line of
communication are provided.
In the absence of any news from
an official source indicating Villas
death, the routine work incidental to
the conduct of the punitive expedition
work in Mexico was continued at de-
partmental headquarters.
No Report of Villas Death.
General Funston was shown press
dispatches from various quarters con-
tanning the rumor that the bandit
chieftain had succumbed to his
wounds southwest of Chihuahua, but
no communication containing even the
rumor was received from any army
officer, it was said. General Funston
made no comment on the reports that
Villa was dead
General Pershing now has some
thing less than 10000 men and along
the border there are something more
than $4,000. General Funston does not
consider it wise to remove any of those
now on duty along the border, unless
their places are taken by others.
There are only about 1000 others
available, it is said.
General Pershing is expected to
reach Satevo, 40 miles south of Chi
huahua tonight, according to report
received by General Funston.
Villa Reported Dead.
General Pershing's Headquarters at
Front, April 70, via Mexican Telegraph
to Juarez, Mex.-Renewed reports
have been received here by General
Pershing that Francisco Villa is dead
and buried. These reports are under
investigation.
Meanwhile the hunt for the Villa
bandits is proceeding with renewed
vigor with the arrival at the front of
General Pershing.
Mexicans who had seen Villa on his
flight south said that the bandit
looked thin and emaciated a week
ago.

GERMANS TAKE BETHINCOURT
Paris Admits Retreat of Forces From
Town Near Verdun-8ig Gain
for the Kaiser.

London, April 1.-THE great Ger
man drive west of the Meuse has at
last captured Bethincourt. The peak
OF the French salient, which has been
the object of the German attacks for
nearly two weeks, was evacuated by
the French Saturday night, according
to the cOmmunique from Paris on Sun
day, and terrific battle ragged along
the entire line from Bethincourt to
the Mouse on Sunday, with the crown
princes forces making furious as
saults to break through to the Verdun-
Ste. MenehOuld railway.
Hand-to-hand fighting in the COM
munication trenches south of Douau-
mont village, where the chief French
attacks have been launched for the
past ten days, resulted in the capture
of nearly 200 yards of the German
trenches.

ROMA (cAL.) TRACK.
FIVE SPECTATORS ARE HURT
Famous Auto Driver was Speeding 100
Miles an Hour When Fatal Accident
Occurred-Contest Won by Eddie
O'DonneIl.

Corona, Cal, April 11.-"Wild Bob"
Burman of Detroit, Mich, Mechani-
clan Eric Schrader of Chicago, and
Track Policeman w. H. Speer, dead,
and five spectators injured, three of
whom may die that made up the
tragedy that wound up the third an
nual Corona road race on Saturday.
Burman suffered fractured skull,
several ribs were crushed and both
legs were broken. Burman died in the
city hospital at Riverside, where he
was taken from the track. Mrs. Bur
man was with her husband soon after
the accident and remained with him
until he died.
Incidentally Eddie O'Donnell, in a
Dusenberg car, won the $4,000 prize,
making an average speed of 86.5 for
the 3O1 miles, Joe Thomas in Mercer
was second and Eddie Pullen, Thomas
teammate, trailed in third. Tetzlaff and
Durand finished fourth and fifth re-
spectively.
Burman's car blew out tire in the
ninety-seventh lap as it was rounding
a curve at a speed estimated at 100
miles an hour. The speeding machine
skidded upon a culvert, turned com
pletely over and crashed past two tele-
phone poles into throng of specta-
tors. Schrader was dashed to the
ground and sustained a fractured skull
and broken leg. He died five min
utes afterward.
In its wild flight Burman's Peugeot
wrecked an automobile beside which
Speer was standing. The policeman
was terribly mangled and died a few
minutes later.

DEFENSE BILL 0. KID
REPORTED FAVORABLY BY HOUSE
MILITARY COMMITTEE.
Authorizes War Department to Ex-
pend Total of $34,297, $50 on
Coast Defenses.

Washington, April 8.-The fortified
lions bill-second of the big prepared
ness measures-was reported favora-
bly, by the house on Thursday. 1t car
ries direct appropriations of 1891
$50 and authorizes the war department
to enter into contracts amounting to
ST., 300,0 coo, a total of $34,297, $50, by
far the largest bill of this sort ever
brought before congress. Last year
the bill carried about $4,000, 900. The
outstanding features of the bill are
these:
Huge increases in reserve ammuni-
ton for field, seacoast and siege can
non, based on European standards.
The adoption of antiaircraft guns.
Requirement of the exclusive rights
and installation of the Hammond
radio-controlled torpedo.
Fertilization of New York and
Chesapeake bays with 16-inch guns.
Fertilization of Boston, San Fran
cisco, Hawaii, and the Philippines
with 12-inch guns, having a range of
10000 yards.
Completion of the Notifications of
Los Angeles and San Diego.
Appropriation of $1,000,000 to equip
private plants with tools and machin-
cry necessary to manufacture standard
munitions for the army.
Changes in gun mounts, to give ex-
listing coast defense cannon greater
range and accuracy.
The secret hearings of the COM
mittee disclosed that the European
war has convinced army officers that
the ammunition reserve, good for only
two hours, was hopelessly inadequate.
The bill provides $10,70O,O00 for the
purchase of shells for field and sea-
coast guns for the regular army. Last
year this item was $780, 900.
Provision is made for the construc-
toin Of an experimental 16-inch mobile
mortar, and one 14-inch direct-fire gun
mounted on a railroad car for the de-
Tense of unfortified harbors.
SiXty-fOur antiaircraft guns are
provided, ten of them for installation
in Hawaii and the PHILIPPINES. The
bill appropriates $4,000 for acquiring
the exclusive rights of the radio-con-
trolled torpedo perfected by John
Hays Hammond, Jr., and installation
Of one unit, preferably at Fishers Is
land, N. Y.
