ENROLMENT IN CITY
SCHOOLS NOW 1879
Crowded Conditions Indicate Need Of
Another New Building Within
A Short Time.

In spite of the fact that the new
Eugene Field School building has just
been occupied, the city school system
is taxed to the limit to take care of
the large enrolment, according to
E. W. Bowyer, superintendent.
The records show an enrolment of
682 students in 1916, which had
grown to 1929 at the beginning Of
the present year. However, since
September 7th, more than 800 stu
dents have enrolled, bringing the to-
tai enrolment to 1879.
Up to the first of the year, half
day sessions and emergency class
rooms were resorted to in order to
take care of all the children, and re,
lief was looked for when the new
building was completed. But now
its fourteen. rooms each have an av
erage of 80 pupils, and recently 4C
applications for enrolment were
turned down because of lack of room
Present indications point to thu
fact that another new building IL

WINS SEAT AT ARMS FARLEY
President Not to Ignore Senate as
Wilson Did at Paris.

Washington - President Harding's
plans to place at least one member Of
the United States Senate on the Amer
lean delegation to the coming interna-
tional conference here on disarmament
and Far Eastern problems became
known. Senator Lodge, Republican
floor leader, and chairman of the for
9eign relations committee, is regarded
as certain for the place.
President Wilson put himself at the
head of the American delegation at Pa
ris, on which not a single member OF
the Senate was named. Republican
Senators, which included Senator
Harding at that time, were yociferous
in their protests. It is obvious that
Mr.. Harding does not4expect to make
the same mistake.
The President also is considering ia.
yorably the suggestion that American
labor shall be represented on the dele
cation. Samuel Gompers. president OF
the American Federation Of Labor
suggested some logical representation
for labor Or the delegation.

U. 5. IS HELD LIABLE
Court BIames Railroad for Los
ses in CIoquet Fire.
1000 Damage Cases %Agsregating Be-
tween 100000 and s~15,ooo,ooo
Involved.

st. Paul-The United States railroad
administration is liable for damages
resulting from the Cloquet fire of 1918,
laid to the Great Northern railroad at
that time operated by the federal gov
eminent, the Minnesota state supreme
court decided.
Total liabilities for 278 cases which
have been reviewed will reach ap-
proximately %$2,00O,0O0, whereas the
grand total of liability for the entire
group of approximately. 1000 cases
will reach an amount a%ggregating be-
tween $4,000, 900 and $4,000, 900.
The case originally was brought be-
fore the st. Louis county district court
in the case of Phillip Hall against
James C. Davis, an agent of the Presi-
dent under the transportation act.
The st. Louis court held that gov
eminent railroad administration liable.
The director general moved for
amended findings on a new trial and
the motion was denied by the st. Louis
county authorities. The federal au-
taorities then appealed from this to
the state supreme court, and the su
~ereme court in its decision denied the
appeal.
The finding of the Duluth court was
that the defendant was responsible for
the destruction Of property in this fire
of October 10, 1918. In the order
signed by Judge w. A. Cant of Du-
luth, Philip Hall, claimant in this par
ticular case. is entitled to S !, 40O dam
ages.
According to the findings the fire
was started at Mile Post 81, a distance
13 miles from Cloquet, and then swept
into the city. The claim of the rail
road company was that other fires or
iginating south and east of CIoquet
caused the losses. The court, however
disagreed, denied the petition for
amended findings or a new trial.

London - The conversations be-
tween Mr.. Lloyd George and Eamonn
de Valera from which it was hoped the
basis for an Irish peace conference
might emerge, have been terminated
for the present without that objective
having been attained.
At the final meeting of the British
prime minister and the Irish repub-
lican leader, Mr.. Lloyd George sub
mitted definite proposals which were
represented Is the considered judg-
ment of himself and his cabinet as
constituting suitable. ground for a full
fedged peace parley, based upon his
interviews Of the past week with Mr..
De. Valera and Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier.
The proposals, it is learned authori-
tatively, compared less than 10 ar
ticles.
Whether they met with a fat rejec-
ton by the Irish republican leader or
were taken by him without comment
for review by himself and his col
leagues in Dublin, in the hope they
might contain the nucleus for nego-
tiations, was concealed by the brief
toint communique issued after the
meeting. This read:
The basis for a conference to at
tempt a settlement of the Irish dues-
ton has not yet been found.
Mr.. De Valera and his colleagues, af-
ter their return to Irish headquarters,
expressed their anxiety for the attain.
ment of peace, despite what is at least
the temporary impasse reached.
