WILL KEEP OLD JCHOOL Two Story Part of Building to be Brick Veneered New Structure to be Erected East of It- Trustees Met on the Grounds Another joint conference, lasting practically all the afternoon, was held yesterday between tbo special committee of the city council anu tbe board of school trustees relative to tbe plans for the new public school building on the present school site. it was decided to ask the council to submit a by-law to the ratepayer-*; for $60,000. To retain the present two-story building and to erect tbe new building east of it To grade the grounds so as -lo make up for tbe area taken from tbe play grounds and in the matter of building plans to adopt the suggestion made In these columns and request the loan of plans from the Vancouver school board. Tbe only difference of opinion arose ■over tbe question of joint control of ■the operations from now on . The mayor pressed the board to give the three members of the city council on the special committee a vote each on all matters, but this the trustees wore not willing to do, claiming their strict legal position. At 2.30 mayor Glllett, Aid. McMorris and Irving and trustees Arthur, Emory, Wm. Irvine, Swannell and Steel, met on the school grounds and for over an hour discussed the mayor's proposition to leave tbe present two story structure in .place und erect the new 12 room building to the east of it. Incidentally those in attendance went over carefully the Interior of the present building and in addition considered the question of grad- 1 Jug the grounds. After a full review of the situation-the party, with the exception of trustee Swannell, adjourned to Dr. Arthur'-s^of- "-ftce'nn'd WttlMffl'^fflBIr1 deliberations there with Wm. Irvine as chairman, "It appears to me, gentlemen," said Lis worship, "that before you -consider the cost of the new building you must decide what you will do with the old building. Speaking personally, nothing that I have seen this afternoon has al- teied my opinion expressed the other day. By leaving the present two story portion where it Is, removing the one Htory portion to another part of the ground temporarily, you will be able to put up a modern 12 room new building within the figure that I think the ratepayers will sanction. You will save $000 by not removing the two story portion and ln the end will have a building which will be a credit to the city and supply your requirements for some years to come. The old building left in place could be brick veneered if thought desirable and when everything Ib completed .you will have a sixteen-room school." Dr. Aruthur—"The basement In the present building could be altered and fixed up. The new furnace room will be in the new building and we would not require the present one." "The Mayor—"Then you would have an 18-room building, which surely would meet all requirements for some years *jO come." Dr. Arthur—"Yes, the basement could be turned into two good additional rooms ct any time, once tbe new building Is up." Trustees Emory and Steel agreed that the Inspection of the building and grounds had changed their views regard* lu*j moving the old two story building, and Mr. Steel moved, seconded by Mr. ■Flmory, that the old two-story building he retained in its present position and be veneered, ihe new building to be erected to the east and to be connected up with the old section, as the lighting requirements permitted . The motion carried unanimously. It was also decided to request the -city engineer to give the proper grading of the grounds. About three feet will come oft the south of the lot and this and the amount excavated for the basement of the new building will go to level up the northern portion of the square. By this means the trustees hope to retain at least as much of the playground for use .-after the building is up as now exists, -as well as getting the grounds In a -really presentable condition. The grounds will he terraced up from Car- •honate street and as much level ground ■as possible obtained . It was suggested that jail labor might be obtained to do •n portion of the work and the government's consent to this being done will be asked. City clerk Wasson will be aBked to get -lip a petition asking ihe council to submit a $60,000 bylaw, and obtain the necessary signatures of ratepayers repre- -aentlng 10 per cent of the assessed value -of city property. On motion of trustee Arthur, seconded by trustee Steel, it was formally decided 1o ask (he council to submit a bylaw for & -raising $60,000 at the earliest moment ' 5 -possible. The mayor promised that there would be no delay In the mitt ter so far aB the . '-council waa concerned. Aid. Irving suggested la view at the :artlcte In The Dally News, tbat tbe trus tees correspond with the Vancouver trustees and ascertain if a set of building plans could be borrowed. "If not," said the alderman, "I think we should give local architects a show before going outside." Dr. Arthur will write to» Vancouver at once in the matter and until a reply is received no further steps will be taken to get out plans. "I should like to ask for information on one point," said the mayor; "will the board give the city council representatives In this conference a vote in all the future meetings? Otherwise we are merely figureheads and will so have to report to the council." It was the opinion of the trustees that they very much wanted the cordial cooperation of the council but that so far as voting went, any and all matters must rest with tbe trustees only. The meeting then adjourned. *************99************ BETTER TERMS DEBATE Owing to an unaccountable delay in the arrival of malls from the coast, the full report of the "better terms" debate held tn the legislature on Monday last dm not arrive as soon as expected.

EXPERIMENTS SUCCEED IRON ORE CAN BE SMELTED BY ELECTRICITY. CANADA WILL BE WORLD'S GREATEST IRON PRODUCER. Quebec, March 29.—Several English and American scientists have been engaged on dominion Iron deposits for the past two years, experimenting by aid of electricity to discover if tltanlferous substances can be separated from Iron and thus remove the only obstacle to tbo development of the largest iron ore deposits in the; world. ' These experiments, especially on the Labrador coast, have been carried on In secret, and It Is said the scientists who engaged ln them have met with so much success that they are sanguine that the smelting of iron ore by uiean**- of electricity, which Includes the removal of tltanlferous matter, Is a possible If not an accomplished fact, and they have stopped their operations In order to report the success of their efforts to their backers and give tbe latter an opportunity to form a company and secure Iron lands, with all mining rights, from the government If It succeeds, it will make Canada the greatest iron producer in the world. THE WAR IS NOT ENDED DEFEATED HONDURANS ARE REORGANIZING THEIR FORCES PRESIDENT BONILLA WILL NOT GIVE UP THE STRUGGLE. Washington, March 29.—Active telegraphic correspondence has been In progress between the Washington orttctals and the diplomatic representatives ln Central America and Mexico, for the past 48 hours, relative to the Central American embroglto. No statements of the negotiations could be obtained for publication. Captain Fullam, commander of the gunboat Marietta, reported by cable from Hnerto Cortes that everything was quiet on the north coast of Honduras, and that he was sending a long statement by mall. The news that Cost* Rica has recognised the provisional government of Honduras lacked confirmation up to the close of tbs day and was accepted with reserve. At least CO days will be required for the election of a president by the provisional government ln Honduras, and the estab Ushment of the new administration on such a basis that lt can command tho general recognition of the world powers. This delay will necessarily make the conditions ln Central America even more uncertain, according to the Latln- Amerlcun diplomats, who have advices that president Bonilla has no thought ol giving up the fight but Is busily re-organizing his army, ln the hope of reversing hlB fonner defeats.

ORDERED TO SHOOT RUEF Should Imprisoned'Frisco Boss Attempt to Escape Nca Behind Investigation are Determined —Sprcckets Guarantees ill Costs San Francisco, March 29.™Rudolph Spreckele, financial sponsor of the investigation of municipal corruption now in progress, told the Associated Press today that he will guarantee the expenses of the inquisition. "The contributions from citizens to the fund of $100,000 guaranteed by me before the commencement of the bribery graft Investigation are coming ia stead- ily," said Mr. Spreckels. "They are in amounts ranging from $20 to $1000. In the event of the ultimate total subscriptions falling short of the $100,000 guaranteed, I will make the deficit good. If It costs more than $100,000 to complete thla prosecution that will make no difference. Those engaged in its furtherance will never be hampered by lack of funds, no matter what the bill may be. The work of investigation will not be -suspended till every bit of rottenness has been fully exposed. We fully expect to land behind the bars of the penitentiary every giver of bribes and the higher up the offender, the more vigorous will be his pursuit. 'We do not, however, expect to send every bribe taker to prison. Some of the miserable men who sold themselves to the corporations must be granted immunity for their testimony, which is worth a great deal more to us as evidence of the guilt of high corporation officials than their own Incarceration would be. Every department of the city and county government will be thoroughly examined into before the investigation is completed, the police department along with the others. No one will be neglected, ao set of officials will be overlooked. Since tbe arrest of Abraham Ruef, at the Trocadero, a month ago, rumors have been rife that an attempt would be made to rescue him by force from elisor Blggy, his jailer, either during a session.of court or while Ruef was going to court. Each one of Blggy's seven -guards are instructed, In the event of a serious attempt to rescue by force, either in court or elsewhere, to shoot Ruef and turn their attention to the liberators afterwards. Ruef has been acquainted with these orders.

Fortunately \he storm did not last long, but whl.e lt did It was In the nature of a billiard. News from the conference at Calgary between tho eoal operators and the miners Is not of a reassuring nature and much anxiety ts felt here over the failure of the conference to formulate an agreement acceptable to both parties. It Is hoped that news -of a permanent -agreement will soon be announced and that business in the district will -receive a. decided Impetus, OlflCAflO'S MAYORAL FIGHT CicafO, March »-There was a ■H*Bt cessation of the mayoralty campaign activity today on account of Oood Friday, but tonight supporters of the leading candidates for mayor began to count probable votes and to prepare for the fast finish Of '.he exceedingly bitter poll.leal struggle that will be decided at the polls on Tuesday, April 2.

MAY REPORTON MONDAY THAW LUNACY COMMISSION SITS AGAIN TODAY WILL TAKE EVIDENCE OF DR. HAM- TI/rON, THE ALIENIST New York, March 29—From sources assumed to be authentic, it was announced late tonight that Dr. Allen McLntne Hamilton, the alienist, will be called upon to testify before the lunacy commission tomorrow, which Is to determine whether Harry K Thaw Is competent to understand lhe nature of the proceedings In his trial for killing Stanford White, nnd to rationally advise his counsel. Dr. Hamilton, It wax said, wouid appear us a witness at tho request of the commission, and will be the only expert examined. The declaration that Dr. .Hamilton will be called was a surprise, for It had been generally understood tbat the commission would not hear any expert testltnony'as to the defendant's condition of mind. Dr. Leopold Put-tell, one of the commissioners, It wus expected would be called upn to examine the medlcnl points Involved. It was Dr. Hamilton's testimony at the trial that predicated the movement for a lunacy commission. Originally retained by the defence, he examined Thaw and wus expected to quullfy as a witness for the defendant. Later, however, his connection with the defence was severed, and he was called as a witness for the state. He was not. however, called by the prosecution, but was eventually summoned to the witness stand by iho defence. Under examination he tcsll- fled that Thaw was Insane when examined by him and he believed him still Insane, Replying to a question by -attorney (Reason, for tho defence .Dr. Hamilton said he believed the prisoner was unable io properly advise his counsel. District attorney Jerome at this point Interrupted the witness to •.t*P»*i* to the ■conscience of the court to consider whether a lunacy commission should be appointed. District attorney Jerome It was known, had been anxious to .introduce certain witnesses before the commission, but up to tonight there apppeored little likelihood that be would be successful. This evening It was stated the lunacy commission notified the district attorney that it would require the presence of Dr. Hamilton tomorrow. It was also stated that Dr. Mc-Qulre, the Tombs physician, and other officials at the Tombs would be called. The commission may finish its work tomorrow, and be ready to report to Justice FJtigerald by Monday. The Jury will report in court ones more at 10:30 Monday morning, and It Is the hope of the presiding Judge and of the commission* that the matter of the defendant's sanity will be disposed of by that time. If the commission should submit a report to the offect that Thaw fully understands the nature of the proceedings against him and has rat Ion a!y advised with his counsel. Justice Fitzgerald will simply direct that the trial proceed without making public the commission's findings. If tho report IB agalns*. Thaw Justice Fitzgerald will announce this from the bench and If he deems tbe prisoner's release dangerous to the public peace and safety he will sign nn order directing hla confinement in some state hospital for the insane, probably Mattewan. Today being Good Friday, there was no session of the lunacy board and Thaw spent a quiet day In the Tombs preparing for a renewal of bis mental test tomorrow morning.

We note tbat the Victoria Colonist seeks to create the impression that the liberal opposition did not concur in this view and that the liberals voted dissent therefrom and that the liberal leader's •peach was an Intimation that nothing further could lie, don* to advance tk* claims of British Columbia for further recognition at Ottawa. This suggestion on the part of the Colonist is entirely at variance with tbe whole tone of Mr. J. A. Macdonald's admirable and statesmanlike speech at well as with the amendment to the premier's resolutions moved by the opposition leader, which read as follows: "That all the recitals in the resolution be struck out, and that all the words of the resolution after the words 'Be it' be struck out, and the following substituted therefor:— "Resolved, 1. That thlB house regrets the failure of the Hon. Richard McBride to procure from tbe conference which he recently attended at Otawa resolutions more favorable to the claims of British Columbia. "2. That this house Is of opinion that the proposed additional allowance of (1100,00) one hundred thousand dollars annually, for ten years, as compensation for recognized special claims of British Columbia, 1* inadequate, and cannot be accepted en a final and unalterable settlement" Here we have the provincial liberal party clearly on record a* to the Inadequacy of the special allowance granted thi* province and as being opposed to th* propoMd s*ttlem*nt being accepted aa *to»l and ueltMikle."

THOMSON tefedsnfct ler MoBrlde exercised more care in the preparation of his resolutions, bad he excluded therefrom statements that were absolutely contrary to the facts, It ts quite probable that an unanimous vote of the house would have been recorded on the subject of "better terms." Mr. J. A. Macdonald, in the course of his well reasoned speech, showed conclusively wherein premier McBride's course at Ottawa had not been governed by the highest wisdom and where in the course of the preamble to his resolutions the premier had seriously erred in his presentation of the facts. In thetje circumstances, the leader of the opposition could not do other than to seek to amend the main resolutions. This lie did and the amendment voted for by every liberal ln the house declared emphatically that the liberals of British Columbia are at one with the conservatives In the demand for better terms for this province.

Edmonton, March 29.—The organization of two largo mining companies was announced In Edmonton today. They are ready to commence operations o" undertakings which will be of very large Importance to ihis city. They are the Amerlcan-Ctuia-dlnn Oil Co.. which proposes to operate in the Morlnrt.le district, and the Clark Dredging company, of Chicago, which proposes to work gold dredges on the Saskatchewan between here and strathcona. The American- Canadian Oil Co. Is backed by Seattle Everybody Agrees that COD LIVER OIL and IRON ire beyond question the greatest medicines known. Then why does not everybody take Cod Liver Oil and Iron? Simply because most people cannot take the Oil and tew can digest the Iron in any ordinary form. These 'difficulties have been entirely removed by the introduction of FERROL, in which the Iron is scientifically combined with the Oil, rendering the Oil palatable and the Iron digestible. While . FERROL is manufactured from the best quality of Cod Liver Oil (the whole of the Oil) and is richer in oil than any other emulsion, and while it contains just the right quantity of the best form of Iron Ind Phosphorus, it is so scientifically prepared that not one person in a thousand finds nny trouble in taking it, snd infants digest it without difficulty. Moreover the well-established value of the Oil and Iron is immensely enhanced by the process of manufacture, and as the formula is freely exposed it il not to be wondered at that physicians everywhere have fully endorsed FERROL and used it largely in their practice. FERROL is invaluable for the treatment of any kind of Lung or Bronchial troubles, while for wasting diseases it. has no equal, and '•You Know What You Take" TOR ULLB BT Canada Drug A Book Co __.___. ^ ^ | rtm*+l__*'lm '-Xi' i'',"'3%» Armours Solid Extract o/Beef Irtmto IN CAN.D.) has only the original, rich, beefy flavor of prime roast beef.

Washington, March 29.—"I would put Harrlman In uie penitentiary for the ■Chicago and Alton deal," senator Cul- lom, of Illinois, said today after a conference with president Roosevelt "I told the president this is what I would do with Harriman," he continued, "but I do not care to say whether or not the president agreed with me. But the people know Theodore Roosevelt very well and they can Imagine what he would do to Harrlman for the manner in hich the railroad magnate treated the stockholders. Harriman milked the road dry, and the people who will1 suffer by this wicked transaction will be those -who purchased the bonds. "There Is no doubt about the rascality of the deal. The people at large are not Interested' in this transaction, but those who purchased the bonds are vitally interested. They -have been swindled. That is the only word that will describe the high finance methods which mar*.-*--! the Alton deal. It has been clearly demonstrated that there is nothing behind the paper issued by direction of Harriman, who profited by the investment of those who bought the Chicago and Alton bonds." Senator Cullom, who is the author of the law which created the interstate commerce commission, had a conference with president Roosevelt about the railroad situation ln general, with parti* cular reference to a federal license law and the enactment of legislation which will squeeze the water out of railroad ptoclts and bonds. Senator Cullom agrees with the president on this question, CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY IS BOTH AGREEABLE AND EFFECTIVE. Chamberlains Cough Remedy haa no superior for coughs, colds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing In any way injurious has made It a favorite with mothers. Mr. \V. 8. Pelham, a merchant of Klrksvllle, la., writes: "For more than 20 years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been my leading remedy for all troubles. It Is especially successful in cases of croup. Children like it and my customers who have used It will not take any other." For sale by all druggists and dealus.

P, Graven of the Granby company, urrlv-ed in town Wednesday night, and. after conferring* with manager HodgeB, vfj left yesterday afternoon for Phoenix. Ucven furnaces have boon running thla week, maintaining an average of 400 tons each per 2-i hours, Yesterday _tm tons were put through, liultig the largost output, with the exception of one ilny Inst year, tnat. tlio Oranby plant over recorded. Th* olghth furnace- will probably bo ready lut a week, at which time, tf nothing unforeseen happens, the smelter should beat tlie** record. Ono i of Iho big Jumbo blowers* Is In operation, i-cquiring- for Its operation* two morion-, each of 160 h.p. About 1UW h.p. Ib now being* utilized front Bonnlttgj* ton. Coke is coming In fairly'well. Knowing that the situation in regartl tic- tho conference between tho miners and operators must be causing some aiYxletj - to the mining and smelting companies oti the Boundary, Mr. Graves waa asta-d lib' views. " Iwould rather not venture an. opinion on the result," snld Mr. Graves. "I do know, however, that there Is n. dnngeft point ahead, which It would he well fo:* nil who have the mining interests of southern British Columbia ut heart to bewara of. The danger point will be reached tt* the cost of producing coke, coal, lumber, steel and other supplies goes on increasing, and at the same time a stowing down occurs In the general industrial condition** of the country. A fall In the pnlce of metals would follow, nnd an extremely rrltkal period would be reached. As Ib well knowai copper mining hero Is carried on with or** probably of the lowest grade in the world.. that Is or those being smelted on a larg-ii r-n.li*. The Granby Is a typical compart*,? and its fnto, whether success or failure., would lit; the fate of the roat, though probably in a time of stress it would liv** longer than aome of the smaller com-* pa.nl*>-*." "Tho nntural rotort to any cry of 'rocks*- ahead,' Mr. Graves, is that the Oranby Is making alt kinds of money at the present price of copper. What have yon to say to that*?" "Well that's only a half truth," was tha reply. "The Granby haa made money. and haa actually paid 12 ptr earn dividend this last year, but those who may lay -stress on this fuel entirely forgot that many of our slit-ire hold ers linvu held tbo -slock Hlnce ].% mul tba: for the past series of ye-ana havo not averaged more than 1 lMir cent on their Investment. Wilh favorable conditions the average will figure up to poraps 4 or & per cent. Hours have been shortened, wagea railed, all greatly Increasing- the cost of production, and should this cost increase continually and the crisis arrive. Involving the cessation of operations ln a section of the country such as this, then it would be hard to readily resuscitate the confidence of out- sdo calptnl, and without that confidence companies can certainly not finance development on a big scale. These points should be earnestly borne In mind by miners, prospectors, business men and all who are strognly Interested In tho permanent •progress of the country." Asked as to whether he anticipated any -decline In the price of copper, Mr. Graves -said the whole riuesUan hinged on the general Industrial conditions of the country, London and Berlin both showed slight •declines recently, and New York hnd a alight downward tendency In sympathy. The actual demand for copper in connection with electrical development would pro- kilily continue strong until a slowing up movement In manufacturing appeared. "There have not been wanting signs of such a movement, and on these difficult and far reaching questions of labor and general cost of production In UrltlBh Columbia, the moral support of the whole people will be called Into question to effect wise and fair solutions of the problem.'* "Anything to say, Mr. Graves, ai to future development plans of the Oranby?" "Well, If conditions promise to be normal *•*« shall prepare for large developments. I Ah far as tht mines go wt are even now 1 n shape for more extensive work than n a art actually doing, and tht enlargement would have to be at this end. We shall keep a weather eye open for rocks and other difficulties. If things sliapu well we are ready for further development! it they do not shape well, we will govern ourselves accordingly. We arc all eciuul-y Interested," said Mr. Graves earnestly, In closing hts chat, "in sustaining things nt the point where the Boundary ores can be treated pcrmanenily at a fair profit. If we do not cooperate now in facing such difficulties as initiate against permanence and success for the mining industry, the conditions may become harder to cope with than tbey nre at the present time." AID FOR SLOCAN CITY EXPLANATION OP ACT RUSHED THROUGH LEGISLATURE PREAMBLE SETS FORTH ALL PACTS IN THE CASE The bill introduced at Victoria early In the week by the premier, and rushed through all its stages ln one sitting, io aid the municipality of the city of Slocan, recites in Its preamble: "On the 3rd day of April, 1903, the municipality of the city of Slocan passed a bylaw, No. 17, for the purpose of borrowing ten thousand dollars on debentures to enable the city to grant a bonus to the Ontarlo-Slocan Lumber company, limited. The bylaw was duly ratified by the ratepayers, in accordance with the "Municipal Clauses Act," aud debentures were Issued thereunder for tho sum of ten thousand dollars, In denominations of one hundred dol.ars each. Under and by virtue of the bylaw, the principal sum of the debt was made re-payable by yearly sums during the period of ten years, being the currency of the said debentures, such yearly sums being of such respective amounts that the aggregate amount payable ln each year for principal and Interest In respect of the debt Is as nearly as possible equal to the amount so payable in each of the other nine years of the period. The total amount required to be raised annually, for paying the debt and Interest aa ln the bylaw provided, is one thousand dollars, payablo on the 6th of April, There is still payable on the part of the municipality ln respect of the debentures mo sum of seven thousand dollars, but tho municipality Is not in arrears of any payments of principal and Interest undor tho bylaw. The dobeniur- ob were all sold to the British Columbia Trust company, limited, which company is still the holder of all the debentures issued under the pro visions of the bylaw which have not matured.
