will be merely to ask for broader
power to protect American rights af-
ter congress adjourns. Owing to the
delicate situation which might arise
out of his appearance before congress
the president will see to il that the
act and purpose of his appearance at
the capitol is communicated to all
belligerents. 1t was pointed
out that with communication
so subject to coloring" and other
wise impaired every precaution
would be taken to prevent any mis-
understanding abroad, especially in
Germany. The presidents address,
as il is now tentatively planned, and
ii ii is not changed by any uneNpect-
ed event between now and the time
he goes to the capitol, contains the
information that he contemplates no
drastic action without further con-
sulting congress. No change i'll his
policy regarding armed ships will be
announced.
Ii was not learned whether the

its ships, the Mangolia, unarmed In

REPLY OF SCHOOL BOARD
TO THE COMMITTEE

Replying to the petition of Messrs.
Tom p. Whipple ct al, committee for
citizens opposed to the location of
the new high school building upon
the lot purchased of Rush Williams,
asking that the board reconsider its
decision made in January and order
an election to get an expression of
the voters of the city as to what To-
cation should be selected-that is
to determine the location to be select
ed by the board from the expression
OF majority or a plurality Of votes
cast in such election. we beg leave
to advise that we have carefully con-
sidered the arguments advanced for
this reconsideration, and the ques-
tions of both its advisability at this
time and of our right TO carry out
such rescission and on motion the
board voted, six TO one, against re-
session of such decision. and comply
ing with your request we submit the
following reasons, discussed in detail
with your committee:
Soon after the first attempt of the
city to adopt special charter, certain
amendments to the existing law were
submitted to the people by which ii
was to be determined whether or not
the management, control and super
vision of the schools, the right TO
contract for and erect its buildings
and to select sites therefor with a
special tax set aside for school build
ing purposes as a basis for the issu-
ance of bonds was submitted to the
people and by their decisive vote
they placed such duties upon the
board of trustees, The duty of pur-
chasing sites. contracting for and
erecting school buildings was there
tofore upon the city council.
There was no criticism of the city
council as business men urged in
support OF the proposition 10 vest
these powers in the trustees and the
principal argument was that the eN-
perience OF the trustees and their
knowledge of school conditions and
needs should enable them To dis
charge these duties more satisfact-
orily than would be possible for
thncn hn hnH 1nt cnA.afat ma
and attention to the schools Whether
that argument be true or not, the
people in regular election by de-
cisive vote attempted to confer such
authority upon the trustees. that is
TO place upon them the duty there
tofore upon the city council OF the
location and building OF the school
, houses.
The ettorney general held with
reference to this election that the
main charter of the city, having been
defeated at a prior election. that
act. amendments to the general law
governing cities could not be voted
and that a city must first have adopt
ed a special charter-however We
have the expression OF the people
given upon the matter.
Next followed the drafting of tho
present charter and its adoption by
the people. In il was Incorporated
