IT WILL APPEAR Special Dispatch to The Call. IVERSIDE, Feb. 25.—The River- side Board of Education has adopted plans for the new high school building for which $40,000 was recently voted, and the plans indicate a structure of a unique and dirtinetive type of architecture. The de- s'¢n is a decldedly original one and is a striking attempt to utilize the mission style in a public building of this char- acter. The plan generally consists of a central octagonal a bly room eighty by eighty feet, around which a corridor extends. eight feet wide. Around this assembly room are grouped three class rooms on each of the corners, or twelve in all. twenty-four by thirty-two feet each. On the maln or north front is the principal | entrance or porch, and a corridor fourteen | feet wide leads to the interior. On either side are located the offices-of principal, Superintendent and Trustees. © before he weni apon the bench the | @ uutefufufuiefuiuieeieielinrirbieminiieiri el et © H0 MORE NEW SHIPS THIS YEAR ' House Agrees to the Senate Amendment on Naval Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The House to- day jettisoned the authorization for two battleships and two éruisers which was in the naval appropriation bill as it passed that body. The Senate had requested the proposition, and against the appeals of the House conferées the House to-day voted by.a big majority to agree to the Senate amendment striking - out the authorizations. Chalrman Cannon of the Appropriations Commfttee ~contributed largely to this result by a vigorous speech in favor of the Senate amendment. A partial conference report on the naval ap- propriation bill was agreed to, and the bill went back to conference. The House also agreed to the conference report on the bill to create a commission of five to adjudicate the claims of United States cit- izens against Spain assumed by the United States under the treaty of Paris. The House entered upon the last week of the session with a full attendance of members on the floor and throngs of spec- tators in the galleries. Dayton of West Virginia called up the conference report upon the naval appropriation bill. It was only a partial report, agreeing to about two-thirds of the items in dis- pute between the two houses. The con- ference report was adopted. Rixey of Virginia then moved that the amendment striking out the provision for two battleships and two crulsers. Pending action upon this motion the Senate amendments were nonconcurred in. It was arranged that there should be an hour of debate on each side upon the Rixey motion. Dayton vigorously opposed it. He contended that to strike out the authorization for new ships would check the bullding up of the navy and open up a long controversy over the various types 5 abips. armor plate, etc. Rixey argued that the Senate's proposi- tion was eminently fair. It stmply pro- posed to postpone the building of new ships until the next session of Congress, and that in the meantime Congress could be informed upon the questions as to whether ships should be sheathed or not, as to the thickness of armor and kindred subjects. He sald the shipyards tnrough- out the country were already fui of work on_ warships. Dayton answered that he had in his pocket a telegram from the great sbip- yards in Rixey’'s own State saying they could build four more ships, while a dis- patch from the Union Iron Works stated they could build several more vessels. After some further debate by Hopkins of Illinois, Vandiver of Missouri, Kitchen of North'Carolina, King of Utah and Driggs of New York in favor of the mo- tion, and Mudd of Maryland, Brown of Ohlo, Adams of /Pennsylvania, Wheeler of Kentucky, Cummings of New York, who came on the floor on crutches to speak, and Waison of Indiana against it Cannon closed the debate in sug ort of the motion. He sald the real question was whether, from the standpoint of the treas- ury, of the public defense and of sound business principles, it was not time to call a halt for a year In the authorization of new ships. There were in the navy, he eaid, 254 warships and fifty-six auxiliary vegsels. There was still to be paid upon ships bullding and authorized $65,000,000. When our navy was completed, he said, America would have the greatest navy in the world save that of England. England was no menace, because Canada, with 3000 miles of territory on our northern border, was a hostage against war with Great Britain. (Applause.) The Rixey motion was carried—I58 to S8. The bill was then sent back to conference. Haugen of Iowa called up the confer- ence report upon the bill to create a com- mission of five members to adjudicate the claims of United States citizens against Spain assumed by the United States un- der the terms of the treaty of Paris, and it was agreed to, 134 to 84, notwithstand- | ing considerable opposition and the fact that the House had twice voted that these claims shculd be adjudicated by the Court of Claims instead of a commission, as agreed to by the conferees. Hemenway oi Indiana, Pugh of Ken- tucky and McRaw of Arkansas were ap- poinied conferees on the fortifications ap- propriation bill. Some time was snent in clearing up con- ference reports on District of Columbia business. At 6:10 p. m. the House adjourned. —_— New Trial for Bird.

On the south front is located the li- brary, thirty by fifty feet, which is twen- ty-four feef high, affording room for fu- ture galleries. The central features of each front are two stories high, and are finishad as lab- orateries and lecture rooms. From the side porches are liberal entrances to the basement, which {s ten feet high and fitted with lavatories, wheel rooms, lunch rooms and a kindergarten school room. The assembly room is forty feet high and finished with a pancled wood ceiling and lighted from the roof, assuring the very best results both for light and ventflation. The class rooms are fourteen feet high.

MAY BE TAKEN BACK 10 CARADA Supreme Court’s Decision in the Cases of Rice, Jones and Rutledge. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—A decision was rendered to-day in the United States | Supreme Court in the cases of Fred Lee ! Rice, Frank Rutledge and Thomas Jones, bolding that they were subject to extra- dition to Canada. The case has attracted | considerable discussion, because it rased an international question. The three men were arrested in Chicago as fugitives from Justice for offenses committed in Ontarlo, | Canada, and upon an effort being made | to extradite them they sought to secure | a writ of habeas corpus from the District Court of the United States of the North- ern District of Illinois, on the ground that | the United States Commissioners who heard their cases had received them upon Information and that this proceeding was | not justifiable in an extradition case. The | court held against the petitioners on the ground that while one count of the com- plaint was upon information and beltef | only, the other three were made upon the | knowledge of a Canadian officer, and ! g\ose were competent to justify extradi- | on. ! Justice Brown, who delivered the opir fon of the court, sai: “We do not wi to be understood as holding that in ex- tradition proceedings the complaint must | be sworn to by persons having actual | knowledge of the offense charged. This would defeat the whole object of the | treaty, as we are bound to assume that no foreign government possesses greater | power than our own to order its citizens | 0 go to another country to institute legal proceedings. “If the office of the foreign | government has no personal knowledge of | the facts he mav with entire propriety make the complaint upon information and belief, stating the sources of his informa- tion and the grounds of his belief and annexing to the complaint a properly filed copy of any indictment or equivalent pro- ceeding which may have been found in the foreign court of a copy of the depo- sitiohs of witnesses having actual knowl- edge of the facts.” he opinion of the Illinols District Court was aflirmed.

It is the general im- | pression that the agreement to-day makes | an extra session of Congress unnecessary. At 12:15 p. m. Senator Platt of Connecti- cut, chairman of the Committee on Rela- tiens with Cuba, reported the amendment | agreed upon by the committee to be at-| tieched to the army appropriation bill. I’J‘he text of the amendment is as fol- ows: “In_fulfillment of the declaration con- { tained in the joint resolution approved | April 20, 18, ‘entitled ‘For the recog- | nition of the independence of the | people of Cuba, demanding that the Branish Government relinquish fits au- thority and government in the island| of Cuba and withdraw its land and | naval forces from- Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval | forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect,’ the President is hereby authorized to leave the govern- | ment and control of the island of Cuba to its people so soon as a stable government can be. established in said island under & constitution which, either as a part | thereof or in an ordinance appended | thereto, shall define the future relations | of the United States with Cuba substan- | | tially as follows: “First—That the Government of Cuba shall never enter into any treacy or other | compact with any forelgn power or| powers which will impair or tend to im- | pair the independence of Cuba, nor in any | manner authorize or permit any forelgn | power or powers to obtain by colonization or for military or naval purposes or other- wise, ledgment in or control over any portion of said island. i “Second—That sald Government shall | rot assume or contract any public debt, ! to pay the interest upon which and to make reasonable sinking fund provision for the uitimate discharge of which the ordinary revenues of the islands, after de- | fraying the current expenses of govern- all be inadequate. { —That the Government of Cuba | consents that the United States may ex- ercise the right to intervene for the! preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of a Government adequate for the prote of life, property and | individual liber obligations with respect to Cuba imposed ! by the treaty of Paris upon the United States, now to be assumed and under- taken by the Government of Cuba. *4.

His explanation of the reason of delay and his plea for leniency seemed to irri- tate Justice Hagner, who overruled his answer and issued an order for him to pay by March 1, or failing to do so to be confined in the District Jail until he com- pied with the order of court. Before closing the case Payvmaster Rod- ney, who is over 50 years of age, was given some sound advice by Justice Hag- ner.

The e i B mlStan' Kiny LONG DISCUSSION " ON PHILIPPINES Senators Discuss Features «f Army Rsorganiz- tion Bill Foraker Offers Amendment Providing That All Revenues From Taxes in Porto Rico B> Pald Into the Island’s Treasury. —— WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—At the open- ing of to-day’s session the Senate agreed to a conference upon the postoffice appro- priation bill, Wolcott, Chandler and But- ler being named as conferees on the part of the Senate. The Senate agreed to a conference on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill and Hale, Cullom and Teller wer named as conferees. A resolution offered by Gallinger .of the Committee on Pensions, authorizing that committee to make an examination of all laws granting pensions to soldlers, their survivors and dependents, to make inves- tigation of special pension legislation and to make any other inquiry on the general subject of pension legislation as the com- mittee may deem desirable, was adopted. | Morgan oftered a resolution declaring that the Nicaraguan canal bill was en- titled to be placed In the order of un- finlshed business and under the rules of the Senate is entitled to a more privileged position. The chair held that the canal bill, having been displaced by the fortifi- cations appropriation bill, goes to the cal- endar. A House bill amending the act provid- ing a clvil government for Porto Rico and to increase the salary of the commissioner of education of the sland was called up by Foraker. The Senate committee re- ported a substitute for the House bill. Foraker presented an amendment pro- viding that all customs and Internal taxes of the island should be paid into the treas- ury of Porto Rico and be expended for the benefit of the island instead of being paid first into the treasury of the United States. ‘While making some inquirfes about the bill Pettigrew declared that the United States was holding Furto Rico as a colony —"“a crown colony at that”—which had shown its ability to manage its own af- fairs “better than the people of Ohio manage their affairs.” As the discussion seemed likely to be protracted Foraker withdrew the contest- ed amendment and the bill was passed. Consideration was then resumed of the army appropriation bill. Platt of Connec- | ticut reported from the Committee on Re- | lations with Cuba an amendment defining | the relations of this Government with the proposed Government of Cuba. It was Teferred to the Committee on Military airs. Pettus of Alabama presented a written statement raising a point of order against the amendment to the conferring of authority on the President to provide a civil government for the Philippines. The President pro. tem., Frye, submitted the point to the Senate. The amendment was decided to be in order by a vote of 39 to 23. Spooner offered an amendment to the amendment providing until a permanent government shall have been established in the Pmllpsme archipelago full reports shall be made to Congress on the first day of each regular session of all legisia- tive proceedings of the temporary gov- ernment, and that full information shall be supplied to the President as to the con- ditions in the {slands. The Spooner amendment was agreed to. Vest of Missouri offered the following amendment to the Pmllsplne provision: “That no judgment, order or act by any of said officials so appointed shall conflict with, the law and the constitution of the Three amendments. to the Philippine section of the bill were offered, as follows: By Bacon of Georgia—'"That all grants of franchises, rights and privileges, or public or quasi-pubilc na. ture, granted under the powers conferred by this act shall be reported to the Con- gress of the United States, which hereby reserves the power to annul or modify the same. ‘“That all laws enacted by any govern- mental authority created under the pow- ers conferred by this act shall be reported to the Congress of the United States, which hereby reserves the power and authority, if deemed advisable, to annul the same.” By Hoar—"That no sale or lease nfrpub- lic property shall be made and no fra chise granted which is_not approved by the President of the United States and is not in his judgment clearly necessary for tue immediate government of the isi- ands and indispensable for the interest of the people thereof, and which cannot without great public mischief be post- poned until the establishment of perma- nent civil government.” By Pettus—“That every person in whom shall be vested any power in or over the Philippine Islands before exercising any such power shall take an oath to support the constitution of the United States." Morgan denounced the action of the Re- publican majority in bringing to the Sen- ate at this time in the session proposi- tlons of so far reaching a character a those relating to the Philippines an Cuba. It was, he sald, a most important and dangerous movement, and as he and a large body of men on his side of the chamber beileved, in direct conflict with the constitution. The action of the ma- jority, he declared, “is a despotism in leg- islation never paralleled in the history of this country.” Without completing his speech, Mr. Mor- gan yielded at 5:30, in order that the Sen- ate might take a recess, until 8 o’clock.
