WILL REGROUP STUDENTS
AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS
Rush to Central and Mckinley
Causes Board of Education to
Consider Action.

Regrouping of the high school dis
tricts in Washington in order to
equalize the enrolment of pupils at
the high schools of the city will be
considered at an early meeting of the
board of education, The preponder-
ance in enrolment of the new Central
and Mckinley high schools SO far
Iovershadows the number of pupils
registered at Western. Business and
Eastern that some regrouping of the
high school districts in order to
equalize the enrolment is considered
necessary.
Central, with its splendid facilities
for every sort of work. both voca-
tional and educational, is outstrip-
ping all the other schools in enroll
ment. and many pupils who would
normally attend Eastern or Western
are going either to Central or McKin-
ley in order to reap the advantages
of the greater opportunities offered
by these schools AS the new Eastern
High School will not be built for at
least three years and possibly longer,
some scheme of making the pupils at
tend schools in their neighborhood is
thought imperative.
The same condition pertains, in re-
gard to school athletics. Many boys
who are geographically situated in
the district apportioned to other high
schools are now enrolled at Central
in order to obtain the athletic facil-
tiles offered there. This has resulted
in the best athletes of the city being
attracted to Central. and the matter
has gone so far that at meeting of
the High School Athletic Association
last winter steps to equalize the ath-
letic situation by permitting only one
competitor from Central in each event
were taken. This so aroused the ire
of Central athletic officials that they
refused to participate in the inter-
scholastic meet and took part in a
meet at Tome Institute.

MY "COME AGAIN"
SUNDAY SUPPER

In the old days l would have called
II meat loaf. You know-a couple
of pounds of finely chopped lean
beef and one of chopped pork-sea-
soned and baked in a buttered bread
pan, nodded around three or four
hard-boiled eggs, laid end to end.
But we don't call it meat loaf any
more. You see we add to the sea-
soning a good two tablespoonful Of
Al Sauce-and that makes all the
difference in the world, turning
"meat loaf" into what we call our
"come again" Sunday supper.
It's delicious hot-and even better
cold. Jim doesn't know it, of course,
but most of my reputation as cook
comes out of my bottle of AL Sauce.

Them Crux of Appeal.

The right of union labor to or
ganize employees of concerns operat-
ing open" shops is involved in pro-
ceedings appealed to the Supreme
Court by the Duplex Printing Press

company seeks to have set aside
federal court DEGREES denying in
functions to restrain officials of the
International Association of Machin-
lists and the Riggers' Protective AS
sociation from interfering with its
business.
The proceedings resulted from a
strike in the company's plant and the

Kitchener's Men.

AMSTERDAM, July 12.-Karl Neu-
field, known as "the prisoner of the
mahdi." has died in a sanitarium near
Berlin. according to advices reaching
here.
Karl Neufeld was rescued from a
mahdist jail at Omdurman in Septem-

oner for ten years and subjected to
horrible torture. His rescuers were
British troops commanded by Lord
Kitchener.
During his imprisonment Neufeld
gained a fluent knowledge Of Arabic
and Mohammedan customs. After his
release he made pilgrimages to Mecca
and successfully passed a searching
examination on the Koran, when his
claim to being a Mohammedan was
disputed.
At this time he spread the prevail
ing belief among uniformed Mohan-
medans that Emperor William is the
grand caliph of the European MO
hammedans and went to war to free
them from Christian oppression.

BOARD 0F REVENUE . ID TAKE INVENTORY Property to Be Sufficiently Insured-D Disposal of
 Fees in Doubt

The board of revenue of Jefferson county ordered an inventory made of all county owned property at their meeting yesterday morning. It is stated that full list will be compiled in or der that sufficient insurance may be taken to cover any loss that might be sustained. The immediate action of the board is thought to have been prompted by the several incendiary fires of the past week.
 The present insurance carried on the county property. which includes the courthouse, Hillman hospital, the aims house, pesthouse, the jail and other in- stitutions, totals approximately $350,- 900, and expires within few days. The inventory was ordered that basis for the new policies might be made. and will probably be concluded by Mon day.
 It is rumofed about the courthouse that the board will soon start an in- vestigation as to the validity of tho law governing the disposal of solici- tors fees. as different constructions have been placed upon the law. About S7O00 in solicitors fees is now being held by the clerk of the criminal court and 1t is not known whether to pay 1t to the county or state. Mandamus pro- ceedings will probably be instituted by the board of revenue to have 1t paid into the county treasury.
