on will cost only about 100000" he
said "The first buildings will be
erected on the west end of it and
the ground from the excavations
will fill in the eastern half of the

school there almost to all unlimited
extent
1T will develop from a CONNER

nofogy, We must look out for the
future and not merely to the pres
ent."
City Commissioner Falconer, for
,merly a member of tine school
board, declares the site is excellent.
Its absolutely the best place in
the city for the High School Of
Commerce, he said. More than
half the pupils live north of Cum
ing street and Is per, cent of them
live north of Lake street.
THE property was secured at a
very reasonable figure. 1t is located
out in the residential district where
the air is good and there is ali

As Clemenceau was seating himself
in his limousine, Coffin suddenly
sprang forward and fired eight shots
from pistol. Six of these hit the
front of the car. Two bullets pene-
trated the glass door, one striking the
premier on the inner side of the right
arm near the shoulder, inflicting a
flesh wound.
ASSAILANT MAULED.
A policeman grabbed Cotin. An
other man, whose identity is not yet
known, rushed to Cottin's assistance.
A crowd quickly gathered and at
tackled the two men who were battling
with the policeman. Cotin was badly
mauled and the policeman was slightly
wounded.
Clemenceau, refusing offers of as
slstance walked back into his home.
A few minutes later telephone call
was sent to Colonel House announcing
that the premier's wound would pre-
vent him from keeping an engagement
which he had at the Crillon hotel this
morning with House and, Foreign Sec
retary Balfour.
INFECTION ONLY DANGER.
Hubert Clemenceau, the premier's
brother and secretary, told the United

at present, and that the only danger
would be from possible infection.

the premier's residence to inquire about
his condition were Premier Venizelos,
of Greece. and Ambassador De Leon,
of Spain.
Cotin was later said to be a we'll
known anarchist. Clemenceau was re-
ported to attach no political signifi-
canoe to the attack.

sioner Of Franco American relations,
said that before the bullet lodged in
Clemenceau's shoulder ii passed
through the fleshy part of his neck
but did not sever any arteries.

pite the statement that the wound was

Washington, Feb. 19--Senator Poin-
dexter, Washington. today attacked
the league Of nations constitution.
"A frightful compact, a fatal coven-
ant" which will steal away American
national sovereignty and make this
nation part of great international
document given the senate by Poin-
dexter.
Opening discussion of the league
Poindexter said 1t marks the end OF
our traditional policy of mind your
own business" which we have applied
to ourselves and to other nations
alike.
Analysing the constitution, article
by article. he declared:
A IA BoLSHEvlSM.
That the constitution, as
drafted, proposes world gov
ernment modelled along lines of
the Russian soviet government.
That it is part of the Same in
ternationaIism which the |. W.. w.
and the BoIshevist is striving for.
That instead of bringing per-
petual peace, it will sow dragons
teeth from which armed men will
spring."
That unless it is submitted to
the American people in a poiiti-
cal campaign for their approval
or disapproval, popular govern
ment in the United States will
disappear.
Poindexter criticized President Will
sons efforts to keep congress from
discussing the league in advance OF
his return. and charged that hired
propagandists are at work spreading
the Administrations views.
SINCE THE CIVIL WAR.
THE matters contained in the pro-
posed constitution are the most mo-
mentous in their effect on the peo-
pie and the government of the United
States since the civil war;" said Poin-
dexter But before the busy world
whose destinies are to be controlled
has had an opportunity to read and
digest it's provisions, we are requested
not to make 1t the subject of debate in
congress until the president can again
speak it it's behalf.
