ENROLMENT IN
HIGH SCHOOLS
GAINS
Four Hundred to Be Added for
Coming Semester, Re-
port Shows

A gain in enrolment of more
than 400 students will be shown in
the high schools at the beginning
Of the. second semester, it was
forecast today in figures made pub
lie by First Assistant. Superintendent
Stephen e. Kramer.
The figures also show that less
students will be received by the
high schools from the grades, be-
cause more students will be admit
ted to the increased number OF
junior high schools. One significant
fact, however, pointed out by Mr..
Kramer, is that the Junior high
schools are not materially de-
creasing the enrolment in the
senior high schools, as was be-
lieved, but are increasing it be-
cause of the added inspiration
these junior schools give to pupils
TO carry their high school course
to completion.
The total number Of students who
will enter the senior high schools
in February will be $50 direct from
the grades, as compared with 1,101
a year ago. Columbia Junior High
School will promote 1870 this year,
whereas 1t advanced 104 last year,
the increase coming in the number
advanced from the Junior high
schools.
The six junior high schools will
receive 493 pupils from the grades
on February /. A year ago the
number they received was only 26S.
All senior high schools show a
decrease in the number of pupils
received from the grades except
Business High School. which shows
a slight increase from 137 to 152.
Offsetting these new pupils win be
graduating classes in senior high
schools totaling 40S. Central having
the largest, numbering 1870 mid-year
graduates.

D ANNUNz|O IRE
BY POLICY OF
NUSSOL|N|
Poet Who Seized Fiume May
Take Hand in Unseat-
ing Premier

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Private adj
vices received in London indicated
today that Gabriel d 'AnnunZio, the
poet who seized Fiume, was prepar-
ing to take an active hand in the
movement to unseat Premier Mus
solini.
The specific act of the Fascist DO.
lice which aroused DAnnunzio was
said to be the arrest at Gardonne,
near which D'Annunzio's villa is To-
Gated, Of Major Vagliasindi. q war
hero.
I. vagliasindi was charged with pos
sessing a portion of a statement Of
Deputy Rossi, accusing Mussolini.
This statement was an accusation
which was not contained in those
Rossi published recently. 1t con-
cerned the murder of the wealthy
Socialist deputy, Matteoti. In addi-
ton, Vagliasindi was accused of
having letters from D'Annunzio
which deplored Mussolini's policy.
Efforts For Release Vain.
Efforts to have Vagliasindi rc-
leased have been fruitless.
After the government raid on the
newspaper Messagero Toscano, at
Pisa, Cardinal Maf2, of Pisa, tele-
graphed protests to the king as we'll
as Premier ,Mussolini and Home
Secretary Federzoni. The cardi-
nails message to Federzoni read in
part:
"Pisa was today well normalized.
AS bishop 1 weep for it. AS an
Italian / blushed for it. Only a Sc
we're inquiry may say what these
methods may precipitate."
Officials would not allow the car
dinal's telegram to be published.
Bank Box Seized.
Acting on information of the OPP
position that data discriminating Mus
solini was concealed in safety de-
post box in a bank at Novara, po-
lice officials were en- route to that
town today.
The bank has objected, calling the
seizure Illegal. 1t is believed the
contents of the safety deposit boz
will be found to be similar to the
declarations recently attributed TO
Rossi.

Dreadnaughts PasseLatest
Vessels Fortresses and
Airdromes
By DAVID M. CHURCH.
Nv international News Service.


LONDON, Jan. fO-EngIand has
marked the end of the dreadnought
era in battleship building and has
started the construction Of a com
pletely new navy along lines as
revolutionary as to alter all con-
ventional notions Of fighting. craft,
1t was learned today.
H. M. S. The Rodney and the
Nelson, the two new ships laid
down under the Washington treaty.
will be at the same time fortresses
and airdromes, with Radii of action
of thousands of miles, the London
Express announced. making public
the salient features Of the new bat
tleships.
Nine sixteen-inch guns will be
mounted in three turrets on the
new ships. No guns will he visible
on the afterpart of the ships, which
will be used as a landing space for
airplanes.
Each ship is expected to carry
several airplanes. The new fighters
probably will be funnelless, the only
superstructure being citadel on
the navigating deck as all the big
guns will be forward.
The magazines also will be for
ward, permitting the reduction of
the length of armor plates along
side the ship. This weight, how
ever, will be added to the deck
armor as protection from aerial at
tack. The second and third decks
also will be armor-plated, lesSening
the danger of aerial bombs pene-
trating to the bowels Of the ship.
The speed of the new craft will
be around twenty knots, much
slower than the first line fighting
ships which just preceded them.
This is a result of the beam of LOG
feet, the widest Of any battleships
yet constructed.

PASSAGE OF MOSES

today at the White House by M.

Kinley Rep) Of Illinois. conferred
with President Coolidge.
The postal representative found
Mr.. Coolidge sympathetic with the

was entirely satisfactory to postal
employees in that 1t afforded them
the same wage increases provided
in the bill vetoed by the President
last year.

quite differently from the Roman
Holiday part. The purely polttical
part of Washington says:
THE gentleman from Vermont
keeps right on being our subtlest
political psychologist. Change Is
politically dangerous. Once give
people the spectacle Of changes, and
they may even change you. They
come to regard change as normal.
The thing to do is to train them to
regard change as horrible. Let
them see the Same people in the
same spots day after day and month
after month and year after year.
Let them see Butler and Stearns
and Slen1p and Clark and Welliver
and Welliver and Clark and Slemp
and Stearns and Butler-and Cool
idge-and the monument-in 1924
and 1925 and 1926 and 1927 and
1928. Get them into thinking it an
order of nature. In 1924 they were
trained to Coolidge and GOODNESS.
By 1928 train them to Coolidge and
no change. That's the idea, and
that's what's on its way.
THE slogan of 1924 was GOODNESS.
/ The slogan Of 1928 Will be no change
In the meantime in the cast of the
play in Washington there will be
a minimum Of change. BY instinct
or by design the policy will be to
make the country see and know
that it was, is, and will be, in the
very same safe hands right along
The same presidential circle! The
same White House staff! The
same good old Washington Monu
ment! Why change any of it:
That's the idea"

day about the man that slammed

LETT out the most important part
of the story How'd they get him?"
'"The Cadillac man had seen
that boob somewhere, but he
couldn't remember when nor any
where about it. All he knew was
he'd seen the boy somewhere.
That wasn't an awful lot Of help.
and the cop was going back to
his post when the owner OF the
car came up. He'd been into a
place on the corner to phone. He
said he'd get in and wait for an
other car. The wheel being
broken, the machine sagged and

He's the baldest man east Of

knew then where he'd seen the
sooner. In a pool room. A pool
room on Ninth street. The boss
said Good; go ahead" So the
-
pool room and camped there.
About o'clock Saturday after
noon he saw the boob coming In
with two or three others, AMI
they saw him, and went down the
stairs in three jumps. The chauf-
feur went down in two and
reached the sidewalk in time to see
the boy diving into Ford coupe
There was a police officer about
geo feet up the line checking an
overtime car, but he had no au-
thority to hold the man, who was
conducting himself in a peaceful
and orderly manner. The chauf-
feur thought the best bet was to
make him conduct himself in
disorderly manner.
Circumstantial Evidence.
So he grabbed the boob by the
collar, pulled him from the rum
ming board, gave him a gentle
slam in the ribs, let go of him,
and yelled 'Policev The cop. of

see the boob and his friends COM

z MAIN EVENTS

Although the two top spots on
Friday night S boxing card at the
Imperial Valley Athletic CLUB are
called main event and scmi-final,
there are really two main events, ac-
cording to Cap Stevens, matchmak-
er for the club, as both Villa and
Lincoln, who appear in the semi
final, have been fighting main
events.
Goodrich and Garcia have been
given the main event position, how
ever and will step over 10 rounds,
this being practically the only diff
ference in the main event and the,
semi final, the latter going eight
rounds.
. Pedro Villa topped the local card a
few weeks ago, when he defeated
Billy Bunch and Ralph Lincoln, who
comes here from Denver, has been
fighting i'll the first position i'll that
cHy. Villa and Lincoln are rated
highly in the bantamweight class,
with both of them having an excel
lent chance TO win Friday night.
Local fans who have seen Tony
Escalante Ill action, are firm in their
belief that the border boy is Il
crackerjack fighter although he is
inclined to be little too cock-surc,
and for Tony's own benefit, they
have been waiting for someone to
set him down u peg. Those who
have seen Kid Bucero i'll action, are
quoted as saying that he may be the
boy who will upset Tony 5 string
of victories. In the last seven
starts Escalantc has won the decis-
ion, and according to the law of
averages he due for Il flop.
Tony Is Confident
However, there is no intention on
Tony S part to break his string of
victories, and he is confident that
Luccro 5 scalp will be added to his
belt, and Ms friends along the bor
.tlcr are willing to back hIs opinion.
luecro is II two handed fighter and
will give Tony plenty of trouble.
Even the opening number on the

Since the clubs inaugurated the
weekly boxing cards, the directors
have heards much commendation
for their action, as weekly cards
give "summer bachelors - at least
one night in the week to expect
good entertainment
The club has now been operating
well oVit three months, and >in
that time not single bad card has
lcen offered to the public, a fact
that is evidently appreciated, judg-
ing from the way the attendance
