First Floor for Students.
The first floor of the building has
been designed especially for the use
Of the high school students. On this
floor are virtually all the shorthand,
typewriting and bookkeeping classes.
The top floor has rooms for classes
in domestic art. domestic science and
drawing. In connection with the do
mestic art course there is a model
suite similar to the one at Central
High School.
The athletic field. which is located
a block north of the building. is
Larger than the, one at Central. Work
of grading the field was begun Janu-
ary and is expected to be finished
soon. Principal Hart, however, does
not plan to make any use of 1t dur
ing the current school year. Two
steel and wood, stands seating be-
tween 1000 and 5000 persons will
be erected around the field.
Although agitation for new Eastern
was started in 1910, IL was six years
later before Congress appropriated
part OF the funds for it's construction.
The site was acquired In 1916 at a
consideration of approximately $225, ,0O0
Original plans for the building were
drawn by Snowden Ashford, former
municipal architect. and revised by
Albert l. Harris. his successor.
Eastern High School was organized
as separate high school in the fall
OF 1890. when 1877 students took up
their work in imprevised quarters on
the third and fourth floors Of the Pea
body School, at 5th and c streets
northeast. 1t is interesting to COM
pare with this the present enrolment
or more than 1,150-more than nine
times the original number in the par
ent high school.
The school was organized under
the direction of c. NJ. Lacey Sites, its
first principal, also teacher of
algebra and history, and the follow
ing assistants: Miss Cora Allen, Eng
lish and German; Miss Blanche Cara
Miss Ellen E. Garrigues, Latin and
English; Miss Ethel A. Glover, his
tory, and Stephen e. Kramer, Eng
lish. The latter is now assistant
superintendent of schools.
During the second year in the Pea
body building Mr.. Hart, the prin-
cipai OF Eastern, entered as a first
year student, with Mrs. Margarita

Training for Citizenship.
1.-THE Eastern High School was es-
tablished with the purpose of train
ing its students to better citizenship
through high ideals of scholarship
and true appreciation of the value
of character development in its stu
dents" said Principal Hart in re-
ferring to the past history of the
school. "ItS success has come through
maintaining it's standards and work
for the common good of its students
and the community. 1t has been able
to accomplish much through the
singleness of purpose and effort of
its faculty, the support and loyalty
of its alumni and the ambition and
determination of its student body to
make the most of its opportunities.
1t demonstrated, through it's early
years in the old Peabody School, that
it could rise superior to mere physi-
cal discomfort. and it has shown,
during the past few years. that
crowded conditions and curtailed
schedules can be overcome by de-
termined effort and unity of purpose.
The change to the new building
will be welcomed by the faculty and
alumni as giving Il greater oppor-
tunity for efficient service, and by
the student body as an opportunity
to develop mentally. morally and

THREE CONV|CTS
ARE FOUND DEAD
TWO OF THE GUNMEN APPAR-
EMILY TOOK THEIR OWN
LIVES.

Paducah, Ky.-Three convict MUIR
derers who since Wednesday, have
held prison authorities at bay, killing
three guards as they fired from the
mess hall of the Western Kentucky
state ~penitentiary, were found dead
when the besiegers entered the bullet
torn stronghold after flooding the
building with ammonia fumes.
After the deadly gases had been
turned into the barricaded cover OF
the desperate trio, and all signs OF
life were lacking, a storming party
of seven men entered the building. All
was quiet on the first floor, and they
moved cautiously onto the second.
There they found the bodies OF the
men, who died with the blood OF three
prison guards, victims of the gun
mems automatic pistols when the
break to liberty was mad early
Wednesday morning, on their hands.
Monte Walters, fully dressed, ap-
parently had been killed by bullets
fired during the siege. Lawrence
Griffith and Harry Ferland, his COM
panion, stripped to the waist, were
dead from bullet wounds through the
heart.
Griffith and Ferland, II was be-
lieved, died by their own pistols to
escape the ammonia fumes.
The storming party entered the
mess hall at SIG o'clock. Authorities
succeeded in entering the disputed
barricade after a spectacular siege or
81 hours in the course OF which
prison guards reinforced by two de-
tails of Kentucky national guardsmen
riddled the building with whitening
barrags OF steel jacketed bullets
from high powered rifles and two ma
chine guns; swept the interior of the
building with the shrapnel formed by
bursting rifle grenades and twice sue
ceeded in placing tear gas in the
building.
The siege wore on through success
sive days and nights without author
tiles apparently having progressed ma
t~erially in efforts to dislodge the des-
peradoes.
Today, however, 800 pounds of 100
proof ammonia was obtained from
Paducah, and emergency pipe lines
were laid to the beleaguered building
by members Of the attacking forces,
working behind the protection OF Inn
provised metal shields.
For an hour the ammonia was per.
mitted to creep into the mess hall.
Then control valves were closed and
another active hour passed while be-
siegers waited for the wind to sweep
the fumes clear OF the barricade.

THRILLS ACCOMPANY THE
COMING OF LLOYD GEORGE
English War Premier Is Given q Big
Welcome-Two Disorders
Feature.

New York.-David Lloyd George,
former premier of Great Britain, vet
eran Of II years Of strenuous activity
in old world politics came to America
and found in a whole heartedly en-
thusiastic welcome rendered him by
New York a series OF humanity potent
thrills.
So delighted was the little Welsh
man who had guided the British
through the tumultuous years from
1916 to 1922, that his demeanor was
more like that Of an interested school
boy and of a deeply touched human
being than that Of a blase statesman.
The former premier first saw Ameri-
can soil from the deck OF the Maure-
tania. His passage from the ocean
liner in the police boat Macomb to
the battery and thence by motor, &C
companied by a cavalcade Of other
cars to city hall and through the
streets of the metropolis, was almost
a triumphant procession marred only
by two minor street disturbances pre-
cipitated by Irish sympathizers.
To Canada and to the United States,
Mr.. Lloyd George declared he brought
as Britain's war time premier, q
message of heartfelt thanks for their
services in the great war.
He came, he said, with no political
status, and no official credentials, but
as a private subject Of the crown to
express to Canada his personal thanks
for the volunteer aid she had offered
the British empire in her time of
need.
To the United States, he explained,
he brought thanks for the army that
had come like the sword Of Excalibar
in the Arthurian legend, from the
waters Of the Atlantic when the hori,
zon Of the allied powers was black
ened with despair.
Mr.. Lloyd George explained, how.
ever that his visit to the United
States-his first-was one Of self in
struction, that he wished to say little
and to study and learn much.
He will leave for Montreal, where
he will begin a tour through the
larger cities OF Canada, terminating
at Winnipeg, from where he will re-
enter the United States in Minnesota,
visiting afterward a number of middle
western and eastern cities and ending
his tour in New York in early Novem-
Der.

AMENDMENT IN OKLAHOMA
WINS BY BIG LANDSLIDE
An Overwhelming Vote Cast Favorin9
A Special Session OF the
Legislature.

Oklahoma City.-The people Of Ok
lahoma gave a mandate to their leg
islature to assemble and review the
official acts Of Gov. j. c. Walton.
The courts probably will be requir-
ed to pass upon the legality OF the or
der, but the citizens Of the state, ig-
noring the decree of the executive
postponing the election, tested his
threat to use force of arms to stay
their suffrage and instructed their
representatives at the polls in a de-
cisive manner
At midnight, with virtually half the
state accounted for, the measure was
maintaining virtually a 4 to l lead.
Although the rural vote was proper
tionally lighter than in the cities and
towns and the total estimated vote
was lessened somewhat as a result,
the legislature proposal, nevertheless,
was holding it ratio, established early
in the evening.
At midnight, 1,161 precincts had re-
ported a total Of 1896 for the
measure to 36,237 against.
While this number of precincts does
not represent half the actual num-
Der Of 1887 in the state, 1t is believed
to be fully half the number in which
votes were cast. In two counties
| Cimarron and Harper, with twelve
and thirteen. precincts respectively,
no election was held, because sup
plies failed to arrive from the state
election board and in many other
counties individual polling places die
not open because of misunderstanding
growing out Of conflicting orders from
the governor, the attorney general anC
the state election board.
On the basis Of returns compiled by
four newspapers Of the state, it was
indicated that the would
carry by approximately 100000.
1t is estimated that the total vii
be approximately 5000.
Partial returns from 3S out of q
counties in the state indicated thai
the measure had won in each.
Six hundred sixty precincts out OF
1887 in the state tabulated from re
turns to four newspapers in the state
on the soldier bonus measure gave
Yes, 34,645: No, 46,021.

COOLIDGE TO CONFER
OVER WORLD COURT
The President Thinks Importance OF
the Idea Has Been Greatly
Overestimated.

Washington, d. C.-In an effort to
get the world court protocol ratiileo
speedily and with a minimum OF inter-
ference with the legislative program
President Coolidge is planning TO hold
a series of conferences with lnlluen-
tial democratic senators, as well as
with senate leaders Of his own party.
Mr.. Coolidge wants to question thein
and learn their ideas as to the pest
method to get prompt results concern
ing the world court. He hopes 10 DO
able to arrive at some common OASIS
of understanding in the way OF reser-
yations that will bring about d QUICK
disposal Of the court problem anu
leave congress free to give It's Whole
attention to pressing domestic
questions.
The president has reiterated time
and again his intention Of carrying
out the policies of his predecessor
but It is no secret in Washington that
he is not an enthusiast about the
world court. He is said to look upon
il with mild favor as a posslple
agency for the adjustment OF certain
iustifiable cases between natlohs' ou.
he thinks that it's Importance anu
value has been overestimated. ne
feels il his duty to remind the senate
that the protocol submitted by MS
Predecessor still awaits action, u ne
is not expected TO try n Dig SUCK
methods to hurry the senate along Il
il continues to lag on this issue
What he would like most would be
TO get the protocol ratified n out OIL
the way during the first rev weeks
NJ the session and If this cannot be
done he is not likely to interpose II
objection to the ~senate's giving prece-
dence to internal affairs urgently
needing legislation.
The outlook for harmony
the president and the senate over lne
foreign policy is brighter today IMAM
II has been for a long time, although
there are still some dark spots on the
horizon. Senator Borah, republican
Idaho strong irreconcilable, has IN
formed the president that he STANDS
ready to vote for ratification or the
world court protocol on the terms iaia
down by President Harding IN MS ot'
Louis speech. Mr.. Borah says he mas
no objection to the court if 1t is MADE
wholly Independent of the league OF
nations. The democrats, because OIL
their ~pro-league tendencies, have been
counted as friends of the world
and most of them probably still are,
but there has been a falling OIL OF
democratic support since it has beer
proposed to separate it from the
league. Senator McKeller, democrat
Tennessee, for instance, has an
nounced that he cannot support the
court under the self perpetuatine
plan suggested by the late president
Harding and If any of the Democrat
ask woodrow Wilson how he feels
about it he probably will not hesitate
to denounce the proposal to divor
the league, and the court.
