"They have come here from all points, especially 8e " attla and Tacoma, and have made the boast that they will tear off some big Jobs here, despite the efforts of the po lice. In order to cope with the situa tion I decided to send out every available man today, and I fancy there will be a lot of arrests." . ' Rumors are current today that dosens of crooks have flocked here to attend the races, and the police do not deny that many bad characters are here. As published Sunday morning. Detective Joe Lay made a special trip to the sound last , week to "spot" crooks that were at large, especially pickpockets. Upon his return he stated that there were some , at liberty In both Seattle and Tacoma, 1 but he secured the promise of the city authorities In those places that they would not permit the crooks to depart until after the Irvlngton races.

' NAME SCHOOLS IN . r , SOAJUt MVAJCXS VAJUC SCXOOX. AS TXTS XaAJDD AITS TWIaTTY-TOtflT will sa Muvra Aarrxoarr u Davis aass aTomis Baszavs ' ruos. Miss Gertrude Jones, for the past nine years a teacher In the English depart ment of the Portland high school, has resigned her position. Her resignation was accepted at a meeting of the city school board held last night Miss Jonee Is an Instructor of much ability and her ' work at the Portland high school has been success fuL Re cently she went to Rockland, Mass., where her mother resides, and because of the illness of the latter. Miss Jonee has found It Impossible to continue her work In tbe high school. It Is not known who will be chosen, to fill the vacancy. Miss Josle Davis, a teacher In the Har rison street school, will also be absent from the department for three months at the opening of the school rear, as she Intends visiting eastern schools to study methods and tbe 8t Louis exposition. It was reported to tbe board that several of the Janitor of the school buildings- have been rather negligent of their dutlea during the vacation months. and aa a consequence much of the prop erty around the buildings Is being de stroyed Hereafter all Janitors will have to attend to their duties during the va cation months. - If they desire to leave. they must -provide a substitute. in keeping with plana agreed upon some time ago to name the different school buildings of the city after pioneer residents of Portland, tha Park school will hereafter be known aa the Ladd school and the Twenty-first street school will go by the name of Anthony L. Davit school. The annual supply of wood is being purchased, and the amounts which hsve been ordered waa the subject of much discussion. About 1,000 cords have been ordered and Director Wlttenburg ralaeVl the objection that this waa too much. He stated that the schools in which the new heating plants were being Installed would not use two-thirds the' amount consumed In former years. Director Williams disagreed with him and said that was a question to be settled after the winter waa over. At the Couch school 170 cords have been delivered and S00 eords have been ordered for the high school, and there is not room enough to store It . Henry Welnhard has offered to fur nish steam heating free of charge to the Atkinson school. In all probability his offer-will be accepted. .. , -- , AVOR COUNTY VOTE FOR PROHIBITION Prohibitionists have practically de cided that at the November election they will aeek to carry out the pro visions of the local option law that waa recently passed, by counties rather than by groups of precincts. A meeting of local prohibitionists will be held during the week for tbe purpose of deciding the question. The law provides that special elec tions may be held either by countlea or by precincts for the purpose of voting on the question of prohibition. Since tbe passage- of the law there haa been considerable discussion concerning the method that would be adopted, and meetings have been held for the purpose of considering the proposition. fcf the expected action la taken by the Prohibitionists, there wilL be no effort at tha November election to carry pro hibition in single precincts, but only In counties as whole. :.

He and his wife were visiting the former's brother and family at their country home near tha seat of government, of Washington county. It was the Sabbath day and all eon eluded to attend - church servloes at Hlllsboro, a mils snd a half distant from the farm. At tha last moment how ever, the Portland Mr. Barnes changed his mind. He decided that some one ought to remain at homo and look after the premises. There were the cows. horses, pigs and barnyard fowls, he ar gued, that might require attention at. any time. Besides he felt disinclined to sit In a house of worship for an hour and a half whsn he had such a fine op portunity to sit out on the plasaa. view I the broad landscape and drink In tbe I SHERIFF WORD AS Judge Thomas M.

BEING DELAYED DUrlng tha past week there haa been much difficulty experienced by the con tractors who are repairing and enlarg ing the different school houses of this city In securing lumber. Lack of ma terial with which to work haa been the cry all along the Una and It haa been impossibls to secure a sufficient amount of lumber to keep all the men at -work. This Is regarded as a serious matter at the present time, as tha opening of school Is only a month distant and any delay will keep the contractors from finishing their work, before the opening of school. In several of the buildings the work la of such a nature that unices it la computed it will be impossible for tbe schools to open on scheduled time. Overseeing Architect Jones of the city schools states that the greatest amount of delay has been caused at the Clinton Kelley and the Bellwood schools." Ths lumber for these build ings Is being furnished by the Inman- Poulsen company s mill, said Architect Jones, "and the last week. Instead of delivering the orders of the contractors for the school buildings, they worked on several outside order Instead. Sev eral other schools have been affected In the same manner."
