First ward, 293; Second ward. 416;
Third ward, 2S9; Fourth ward, 4e9;

Superintendent Milne believed the
increased enrolment in the high

of eighth grade graduates last year
from the rural schools who registered
for high school work this year.
With most of the rooms already
full and some of the higher ones
crowded. fear was expressed that
there is danger of considerable overs
crowding when the $500 children OF

Most Of last years teachers were
re-employed, there being only about
twenty new names on the list
The rural schools also began work
yesterday but it was impossible to get
the 'complete list of enrollments.
plans have been made for increased
vocational and health education ip the
county schools, and four of the school
houses are being enlarged as rapidly
as the work can be done to take care
of the increased number. of students
made necessary by the compulsory
attendance law which fixes the school
age at 16 instead Of IA years.

PART OF F00DSTUFFS
ORDERED BY CENTRAL
LABOR UNION ARRIVE

The first shipment of surplus army
food supplies, ordered by the Central
Labor Union. reached Albuquerque
yesterday. City Manager A. II. Heb
enstreit did not know how large the
shipment was except that It was not
the full car load. He was notified
that 1t was at the Santa Fe freight
depot.
The city manager received tele-
gram in advance of the shipment salg-
ing the supplies were coming and he
sent word TO the distribution center
at Fort Bliss, Tex, to hold them until
the full car load could be sent. The
next information received by him was
the notification that part of the lot
was here. 1t was hoped to make a
saving in carriage charges by getting
a full car load at one shipment and
for that reason the city manager OBJ
jected TO the smaller shipment.
1t was impossible, Mr.. Hebenstreit
said. to open the store planned by the
Central Labor Union for sale of the
supplies with the small stock received.

No CHANGE NOTED
IN SENATE AS To
TREATY OF PEACE
Objections Of Hungarian and
Albanian Sympathizers Is
Aired, But They Have Little
Bearing on German Pact,

Washington, Sept. 2.-ObJeotions Of
Hungarian and Albanian sympathizers
to proposals to dismember those coun-
tries under treaties yet to be negoti-
ated were laid today before the senate
foreign relations committee. At the
suggestion of Senator Knox, republi-
can, Pennsylvania. Charles w. Rus
sell, former minister to Persia. ap-
peared before the committee and pre-
sented for its consideration copy of
the recently negotiated treaty between
Great Britain and Persia under which
Mr.. Russell said, Great Britain would
be given valuable rights and powers
in Persia.
Discussion of the Persian treaty
which followed former Minister Rus
sells suggestion that the senate make
"a written protest" against the pact
was the only enlivening feature of the
treaty controversy today, either in
the committee or on the floor of the
senate Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, leader of the administration
forces, postponed his speech replying
to recent attacks on the treaty and
league OF nations covenant by Senator
Knox and Chairman Lodge of the
foreign relations committee, until to-
morrow. On the eve of the presi-
dents departure on his speech-makng
tour of the country in the interests of
the treaty there was no apparent
change in the senate situation.
Some members of the foreign rela-
tions committee expressed the belief
today that the treaty might be re-
ported to the senate before the week
end and Chairman Lodge indicated
a desire to speed up action by holding
all of todays witnesses to the time
allotted to them.
Representatives of the Hungarian-
American and Albanian American or
ganizations who were heard admitted
that their contentious aad little direct
bearing upon the pending German
treaty, except that Germany was
bound in advance to accept any deci-
sion that might be made In the Aus
trian or other treaties as to national
boundaries. Both groups expressed
the conviction, however, the most ex-
treme demands of nationalities laying
claim to areas of Hungary and AL
bania were to be granted.

AMERICAN AVA TORS SHOT
AT AND ONE WOUNDED BY
MEXICANS ON RIO GRANDE
tBy Morning journal Special Leased wire)

Laredo. Texas, Sept. 2.--F'ired upon
from the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande, Captain David w. McNabb,
United States aviation corps. was
slightly wounded today while on
aerial patrol duty along the interna-
tional boundary northwest of here.
With Lieutenant Won de B. John
SON. Captain McNabb was flying
slowly up the river close to the water.
when suddenly a group of Mexicans
fired volley of shots at the dIrplane
wounding McNabb near the ear, while
several shots pierced the planes
wings.
Colonel Beaumont B. Buck, COM
mander of the Laredo district, with
headquarters at Fort Mcintosh here,
said tonight all that Is known of the
attack is that the firing was from a
tint where an outpost of Mexican
federal soldiers was known to be
located,
No additional statement would be
made by Colonel Buck, who forward
ed promptly a report on the attack
to Major General Joseph T. Dickman,
commander of the southern depart
m ent at San Antonio. 1t was indicaf.
ed no action by Officers here likely
would be taken except ON instructions
from General Dickman.
The Mexican consul here declared
tonight that he had heard 'detri-
mental rumor'' to the effect that Mex
leans had fired on an American air
plane, but said he did not believe it,"
There have been unofficial reports
for several days that Mexican snip
crs" have fired at patrolling airplanes.
Captain McNabb and Lieutenant
johnson reported fully on the attack
to Colonel Buck, but neither would
make a statement to the press early
tonight. McNabb's wound Is not
serious. His home, according to Of
ficials here, is in Bedford. Ind.

LAST SANTA BARBARA
coy IS HOME FROM WAR.

To celebrate the return of the last
soldier who had remained in the army
of occupation in Germany, the citizens
of Santa Barbara gave a dance on the
night of Labor day. This last soldier
was Wagner Nike De Lara. who ar
rived three days ago after serving
Uncle Sam for two years.
Four of the boys from Precinct Is
were wounded and We're present at the
dance. These were Eliseo Pine, who
was shot through his left leg: Ade-
laido Montoya, shot through tho

troops Pablo Moya. gassed severely.
and NJ. Lucerc. slightly gassed.

two other ayiators for ransom. All
army machines are plainly marked, it
was said, and the press reports from
the border would indicate that Cap
tain McNabb's airplane was either on
the American side or was following
the river+-the international boundary
at this point. In either case II should
have been immune from hostile attack.
The fact that press dispatches re-
ferred to repeated 'volleys' from the
Mexican side was also considered sig
nificant as indicating that the assail-
ants were under some sort of military
command.
Reports persisted here that General
Dickman has authority to meet such
situations. without waiting on his
superiors, by sending column across
to capture or scatter the offending
band and to clean UP the district in
which they committed the objection
able action. 1t WOULD not come as a
surprise to many officers II dispatches
related to a southwark movement by
cavalry.
Ayiators on American Side.
Both aviators belonged to b Flight,
Eighth aero squadron, Captain NC
Nabb, commanding the flight. The
unit was tTdHsItETcu " 1SoiO CIV =
Kelly Field, San Antonio. several
weeks ago when other units were SEM
to various army posts along the border
for patrol duty
The attack on the aviators took
place shortly after a. m, about
sixteen miles from Laredo, near tho
mouth OF the Santa Isabel creek while
the airplane was flying low, hugging
the American side of the Rio Grande
There was no warning from the at
tackers who appeared suddenly on the
Mexican bank and fired several volleys
at the plane before it could get out of
range. According to first reports the
aviators estimated there were twenty
five men in the attacking group.
Landing Immediately In a field on
the Texas side, Captain McNabb was
taken to farm house and aid was
summoned from Fort Mcintosh hos
pital, physician making the trip with
surgical supplies in an airplane. When
1t was found McNabb's wound was MT
serious. he was removed to the post
hospital.
Unconfirmed reports tonight that
Mexican soldiers may hava participate
ed in the attack. couple with Colonel
Bucks statement that an outpost of
Carranz soldiers. had been stationed
at the point where the shooting took
place, caused Laredo to throb with
excitement in expectation of some
action by the American forces though
there was no indication thatsany was
forthcoming.
