Efforts will be made tonight to add to the recommendations of the School Board grounds and additions to schools through out the city that will aggregate approxi mately 1149,000. which would Increase the school levy from 5 mills to 6.7 mills, thus creating a great burden that Is not consid ered necessary at this time by the Board. The annual meeting, at which these mat ters will be determined by the legal voters of the district, will occur tonight In Lincoln (West Side) High School, at fourteenth and Morrison streets, at 8 o'clock. The recommendations of the Board of SSducation are contained in th'e budget, recently filed, and which will be sub mitted to the voters of the district at the meeting tonight. This provides for ex penditures for operation and for new buildings aggregating $1,663,600. J1.10S.800 of which Is to be raised by direct taxa tion, if the voters adopt the budget recommended by the Board. The balance will be secured Trom other sources of In come. Bond Issue Is Sought. In addition to the direct tax, which will be 6 mills if the voters accept the recommendations of the Board, the direc tors will ask that the taxpayers who are eligible to vote grant -authority for a bond Issue of $360,000 for the purpose of build ing a new High School on the West bide, on a lot already purchased. Dissatisfied with the recommendations of the Board, and feeling that the direc tors have not Included proper estimates !for new grounds and at least two new buildings, it Is said that residents from several sections of the city will appear before the meeting tonight and ask the voters to add to the levy sufficient to provide for these things. The largest Item of this kind Is the re quest for additional grounds for the Washington High School (East Side), which will cost, as estimated, $00,000. This property, it is proposed, would be used for an athletic field, and will be advo cated by some of the residents Interested In that vicinity. Another item only $10,000 less Is addi tional grounds for Jefferson High School also located on the lust aide, in North Alblna. and which is suid to be the most beautiful school building on the Coast. It Is estimated that It would cost about $40, 000 to purchase the property that some are anxious to have for grounds sur rounding this structure. Sunny side People Active. Sunnyside people are advocating the purchase of the remainder of the block upon which stands the grade school at that place. The building occupies the por tion of the block bounded by Bast Thirty-fourth and East Thirty-fifth streets and East Yamhill and East Taylor streets. It is said that it would require sbout $35,000 to buy the other part of the Mock, which is said to be needed for playroom. Grounds additional for the Rose City Park School would cost about $16,000; srrounds and btillding for Gregory Heights about $5000 and grounds and school for Railroad Addition. $4000. The board of directors for the district made a careful survey of the situation land considered every phase. After so doing, they eliminated the items herein mentioned, as they felt that a -mill levy Is ail that should be j laced upon the taxpayers at this time. Arrangements will be made tonight so that only those who are entitled to vote shall do so. The law permits of a vota fcy acclamation, and it is possible for those having Interests at stake to vote, unless great care is exercised, when they should not, by a proper interpretation of the law. All men and women who are at present on the tax rolls of the dis trict are entitled to vote not every one who Is a taxpayer, as Is shown by the fact that there are only about 20.000 out of the S9.000 registered voters who are eli gible to participate In the annual meet ing. Who Can Vote, All who vote must be citizens or must have declared their Intention of becom ing citizens. Any one holding stock: In a corporation may vote. If the effort to increase the tax levy Tor the district should assume a serious phase tonight, and the friends of the various projects named above should seem to be carrying their point. It is very likely that the board of directors will order a careful poll of those voting, so that the legal voters, as shown on Cflerk Thomas' rolls, only will vote on this Important occasion. ' The Lincoln High School building will hold about 4500 persons, and it is antici pated that It will be filled to Its capacity tonight, owing to the highly important subjects that are to be decided by the voters of .the district. BALES CASE IS RECALLED If Woman locs Not Appear Bench Warrant Will Be Issued. The case of Grace Bales, the wonlan thief who through the influence of Detective H. H. Ilawlcy was helped to gain her liberty in a manner which has caused comment in police circles, will be recalled in the Municipal Court by Judge Lb nt'guth, and if the woman does not appear a bench warrant will, be issued for her. The protestations made by Detective Hawley that he had no Interest were redoubled yesterday, and following a statement made by Charles Petraln. who appeared as attorney for the woman, Hawley arose in court yester day morning and asked for permission to make a statement. Hawley publicly denied all the accounts of the case which have been told and reiterated that he had said nothing to Deputy DiBtrict Attorney Hennessy. The latter official was present In court and did not deny the statement made by Haw ley, although the day before he had attributed the woman's release to Haw ley's representations. A witness has appeared at police headquarters who walked downstairs behind Hawley and the woman just after her release, and says that he overheard Hawley say to her: "You have no one to thank but me. I fixed it for you." Another witness declares that Hawley treated Marjorie Kintz with a threatening demeanor and talked to her gruffly and with a man ner calculated to be intimidating and caused her to break into tears. Miss Klntz and her mother were visitors to the Municipal Court yester day and were assured that the woman who pleaded guilty to the charge of robbing her would be brought back and would be compelled to make some sort of restitution for the clothing stolen and worn until nearly threadbare. DE VENNIS EXPLAINS ALL CHARTS NOT UNDERSTOOD FOR CRITICS IjACK BRAINS. Man Who Expects Visit From Christ Retorts That Not He, but Others Are Crazy. E. A. De 'Venn is, the man who expect ed to receilve a personal visit from Christ on Christmas, and has sir-e con cluded that i he was mixed in his dates and that the visit will not be until New Year's day, tried to explain yes terday why some people could not understand his theories and his "mind charts." He implied that certain classes of people are not intelligent enough to compreheiat him, while others are not in need of his teachings. "The dear old patriarch the reporter saw at thie door of my office," he said, "knows nare about my business than I do myself- that is, he thinks he does. He often "visits me and lets off a con siderable amount of compressed air. "I often wish he would understand that I am not taking orders from Jiim. "I hatve missed my calculations only by a few days. I am no coward to fly away, nor am I In the least discouraged. I will be in my office from 10 to 10 until Friday next, all being well. I will give lectures at 3 and 8 o'clock. I invite intelligent people to come and hear and see my mind charts of prophecy and historical facts. I have been told they are the finest ever seen. "I have been visited by some very Intelligent men and women, but the sooty-brain, nicotine-soaked heathen might just as well stay away, also the New Thjoughters and soap-bubble blow ers. My work Is beyond their capacity of comprehension and to the orthodox fossil worse than Chinese puzzles. I can only feed the hungry. My work only appeals to the stupid poor and crazy people. The all-glorified, made-holy-and-sanctified-through-blood will not find anything in. my work they need. "Mr. Victor Morgan, a'New Thought soap-babble blower, says I am crazy, of course deficient. Mr. Slingerland says I have need for these four bless ings: First, salvation of the soul; second, eanctification througli the blood of Christ; third, baptism of the Holy Ghost; fourth, to understand God's plan, of redemption. "Mr. Morgan says my charts are the works of a lunatic. Possibly he saw some similar when he was busy in an asylum. To say a man is crazy is easy; any fool Hottentot can do that well; but I am glad that all people are not Hottentots. My lectures are like the venerable patriarch's opinion about Christ not coming in a material body They are free, but if you come to listen to them bear in mind I am here to teach, not to be taught."

Announcement By Aaron Holtz I invoke for this announcement that kindly judgment of my friends which has attended everything I have "done during my. busi ness career. My only excuse for going into print at this time is to extend sincere thanks to the public. in general for the support, corrsidera-, tion and confidence given my efforts during the ten years of my connection with the Meier & Frank Company, in the growth, devel opment and success of which I have been a more or less important factor. My whole life, energy and enthusiasm have at all times been bent on making' a successof every undertaking in their be half the results speak for themselves? There is danger for a man who tells the story of great transac tions in which he has taken part, whether business, executive, leg islative, military or any other, in which the combined action of many persons was required for the result he is apt to claim, con sciously or unconsciously, that he himself brought the whole thing about.. "Papa," said the little bor to the veteran of the Civil War, "did anybody help you put down the Rebellion ?" s I have never lifted my finger or spoken a word to any man to promote my own welfare, it having been my supreme good fortune to have been the associate of business and high-minded people among whom a better and more fastidious habit has prevailed. The lesson which I have learned in life and which is impressed on me daily and more deeply as I grow older, is the lesson of Good Will and Good Hope. I believe that today is better than yesterday and that tomorrow will be better than today I believe that, in spite of so many errors and. wrongs and even crimes in the business world, improvement is going on daily. In conclusion I will state that I leave the Meier & Frank Com pany to become a partner in the firm of Olds, Wortman & King. The occupation of new, up-to-date quarters in the near future, com bined with the introduction of new methods and ideas, insure for this old-established business a place in the front row of the com mercial institutions of the country. j If any critic thinks this announcement lacking in dignity or wisdom or modesty, it is hoped that it may by way of offset make up for it in sincerity. ' - AARON HOLTZ. S400 SUIT FILED Test Case, However, Involves $500,000 Indebtedness. DEFUNCT FIRM ECHO HEARD Attorney,-in Presenting Case, Severe ly Arraigns Receiver Howard of Title, Guarantee & Trust Company. Affecting some $500,000 of the indebt edness of the defunct Title, Guarantee & Trust Company, of this city, as repre sented by the holders of certificates of deposit issued by that defunct corpora tion, a suit was filed yesterday in the United States Court by Mrs. Mabel Ham ilton, who owns such an evidence of debt, amounting to $400. Mrs. Hamilton asks the court to in struct Robert S. Howard, Jr., the re ceiver appointed by Judge Charles E. Wolverton, to pay interest on her claim from - the date of the purchase of the certificate of deposit to date of maturity of the paper, one -year later, at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. She Is represented by Attorney S. H. Gruber, who announces that the suit -Is in the nature of a test case, and that if the court shall order Receiver Howard to pay the claim, he will at once bring claims of a similar nature to the at tention of Judge Wolverton amounting to nearly $500,000. " In the presentation of the matter to the court. Attorney Gruber Indulged in a se vere arraignment of the receiver, alleg ing discourteous treatment, and the charge was promptly resented by W. C Bristol, representing Receiver Howard. After the battle of words had ended, it was ascertained that Receiver Howard regards all certificates of deposit as claims against the Title, Guarantee & Trust Company, and that as such the owners of the Indebtedness have shared in the regular dividends declared by the receiver.- Interest at the rate of 4 per cent has also been paid on all such claims from the date of failure to the date upon which dividends were declared. Attorney Bristol holds that when Mrs. Hamilton filed her claim with the re ceiver it was allowed for the sum of $400 as the face" value of the certificate, and that Interest due at that time was not claimed. . . For that reason he advised the court 'that the receiver must be bound by the amount of the allowed claim. He avers that It should prorate at face value with other claims. Judge Wolverton will listen to argu ment on the case on January 4. SECOND FILING IS LEGAL Judge Bean Holds Homesteaders May Cut Timber and Enter Again. A decision entailing a far-reaching ef fect was handed down by Judge Bean in the United States Court yesterday. While disposing of the suit against Barney Gobbi for the recovery of $1987.90, the court announced a principle of law which will affect cases on file and which may have been contemplated against a num ber of homesteaders. The first point made clear by the court Is that a man may. if qualified, make a homestead filing on timber lands from which he can remove the timber. If, at a later period. -he desires to sur render his homestead filing for cancel lation and cover the same land with a filing under the timber and stone act, the settler may do so without danger of prosecution for either criminal violation of the law or recovery of damages by the Government, provided the settler re ceives a final receipt from the local Land Office. The court holds that the title relates back to the original entry by the homesteader. The second point brought -out by the court Is that a settler may be prosecuted for the cutting and removal of timber from his homestead prior to the issuance of a receiver's final receipt, except in the preparation of the land for agrlcul trual purposes. The decision was given In a suit brought at the request of officers of Washington. Gobbi Is a resident of Port land, but filed a homestead In Clark County, which he afterward turned into a timber and stone filing.
