Fairbanks and no man was so often oonsulted. In his speech fol lowing: this introduction Mr. Valrhanks eulogized the late McKinley and ranked him aa a liberator with Washington and Lincoln.

This meaxis that there will be something like 20, Ooo more money for the district Journal Called Attention. Attention was called to the shortage In the Increase of the school cenau taken last February over 1906-6 by The Journal. June 2S. Hy figures turned out of the school clerk's office It was shown that the Increase in the enroll ment In the city schools was over 140 per cent greater than the increase in tne school population, inis percentage greatly amazed tho city school authori ties when It was considered that the general proportion of the enrollment to the population Is but 7(1 per cent. Several of the school directors were seriously considering a recount, but It was believed It would be too late in the year to complete another census In time for the county superintendent's appor tionment of school money. The Increase In the first report made bv Clerk Allen of 29,139 children of school ne in the district was an In crease of 2,171 over 1906-8. The in crease in the enrollment In the aohools In the same period was 3,868 pupils. Since the 1905-6 census was taken five new districts have been annexed by Portland Independent school district No. 1. I'eon this showing the school au thorities could see that something was wrong and that tha Increase in the school population should number some 4,000 or 6,000 pupils. More Work Can Be Done, With the additional $20,000 which will come to the district on the usual 110 per capita apportionment, considerable work can be carried on that must have been postponed had the error not been rectified. This morning the county school cen sus was completed and shows a total of 85,688 pupils. Of this number there are 18,343 girls and 17,345 boys. This is an Increase of 1,896 over 1806-6. Portland school district Is the largest one and district su wun nve cnnaren the smallest. The St. Johns school district baa forged steadily ahead In the number of children of school age and has now graduated from a second to a first class district. Districts of the first class must have over 1,000 children of school age. St. Johns has 1,004 such children. This gives the district five school di rectors and an opportunity to make their own rules and regulations. MRS. POTTER PALMER. Chicago mm rO SUE PAPERS Mrs. Potter Palmer Declares English Press Must Stop Annoying Her. (Journal Special Berries.) London, July 16. Mrs. Potter-Palmer is so thoroughly annoyed at the con stant matrimonial announcements con cerning her that she has taken steps to prevent English papers, at least, from originating such reports and from re printing similar stories coming from America. Through her solicitors she has served notice on English newspapers that should they print any unauthorised re ports concerning her she will commence suit against them at ones. She Is fully determined on this course. The report that she was to marry the Earl of Munster occasioned both herself and the earl the keenest annoyance. The two never met. An Intimate friend of Mrs. Palmer says that beyond a doubt she. will re main unmarried for the remainder of her life. She Is delighted with her free dom and so glories In the name of Pot ter-Palmer that she would not change It for a title.

The question is raised, "Are the great naval movements planned without con sultation with the heads of bureaus through which their execution must de pend?" This question is prompted by the discovery that no verbal or written order referring to the movement of the fleet to the Pacific has been received by any official of the navy department here. The officials and officers have only known by the public announcement that the greatest fleet of American battle ships ever assembled Is to mobilize in the fall for a Journey to the Pacific Lcoast.
