$50, DOC, 900 MEMORIAL TO
BE BUILT IN NEW YORK

New York, June 27.-Land for the
$50, 900 war memorial will be
condemned and taken over by the
city as soon as the building funds are
arranged for according to the an
nouncement yesterday by City Cham
berlain Philip Berolzheimer. The site
will have a depth of 600 feet and will
include the last two blocks of Sew
enth Avenue, which will then end at
Fifty-seventh Street. The three build
ings of the memorial will include a
magnificent opera house, with the
buildings on either side housing the
musical and dramatic arts, a conser-
vatory of music and the fine and
plastic arts. 1t is estimated that the
buildings alone will cost more than
$15,00O,OO0 and this great establish
ment emphasizes the fact that the
Columbus Circle district is rapidly
becoming the center of the city.

STILL LOOKING FORWARD

The result of the election on the
question of levying two mills. addl-
tional for the support of the schools
of this district shows that the people
are not looking backwards. 1t was in
eyitable that there would be opposi-
ton to the increased levy, because
for the past two years taxes have
been greatly increased in this town,
due both to the building of streets
and roads and to the erection of the
new school building. But it would
have been lamentable, if after voting
one hundred thousand dollars for a
new school building, the people were
not willing to provide instructors for
the children.
The vote of nearly three to one,
even in the small vote cast, is graft
flying to those, who while demanding
economy in the management of the
schools, demand at the same time
that the schools must be run with
efficiency. We have been at no little
pains and at a good deal Of expense
in this district to get the standard of
our schools in the Glass "a" column,
and it would now be a waste of good
assets to allow them to be less ef-
fcient. The Press and Banner never
for an instant believed that the ma
jority of the people of the city would
vote against efficient schools, certain
ly not if the question was presented
to them in a proper way.

CHARGED WITH BIGAMf
Columbian Alleged to Have Married
16-Year-Old Girl.

Columbia, June 27.-Arthur Perry,
a Columbia man was placed IN the
county Jail Monday morning on TWO
serious charges, bigamy and marry
ing a girl under the age OF consent
sixteen years. The girl disappeared
from home about two weeks ago m
the police officers in many States
were requested to keep a sharp look
ont for her. Investigation led to the
arrest of Perry, who, it is alleged,
was living with the girl, under the
name of Anderson, in Sumter and
Darlington. Deputy w. A. Davis was
sent to Darlington Sunday for Perry
and the alleged young wife. The cou-
pie were married in Sumter soon af-
ter their arrival from Columbia the
girl said. They lived in Sumter for
a week and then proceeded to OAR
lington.
Mrs. Perry, as she declares her
new name to be, said the marriage
ceremony was performed by a coun-
ty official in the court house at Sum-
ter two weeks ago, the day after
their arrival from Columbia. The girl
said Perry told her his marriage to
the wife with whom he was living
here was illegal, as he had another
living wife elsewhere.

TO figure tho precise YIELD on a bond It
is necessary use yield tables. bat the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
closing quotation on bond into the rate
of the annual return. IF the bond Is selling
below par you must allow also for the
appreciation OF the principal. TO do this
subtract the market quotation from par.
or 100. and divide the rems nder by the
number of years the pond hRs to be-
fore maturity. For example, II a per
cent bond is ceiling at 80 and has ten
years to run, the annual return viii be
6.66 per cent. The difference between par
and the marSet price viii be 10 points,
subtractinE 80 from 100. Dividing ten
