The Question Of Teachers Salaries.
THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS TO TRUSTEE

The Question of Teachers Salaries.
THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS TO TRUSTEE
BROOKS.
Yesterday the Commissioners addressed,
through Secretary Tindall, the following letter
to Mr. John II. Brooks, school trustee:
"SIR: Your memorandum concerning teach
ers' salaries has been submitted to the Commits
sioners. and as they do not in all respects con-
cur in the views you express, am directed to
say that as they understand the case, the esti-
mate for teachers salaries submitted to the
Commissioners year ago was believed both by
the commissioners and by Congress to be I'M
necessarily large, and the total appropriation
was deliberately fixed at $500, 900, or Sis, 100
more than 1t was TOR the past year. Such being
the case. II was necessary to adjust any sched-
ule OF salaries SO as not to exceed that total,
ana, unless there are important new facts not
known when the bill was pending, there should
be no thought of again vexing Congress with
the matter. You refer to the letter of the Com
the schedule OF salaries because 1t exceeded the
appropriation. SO lar as that letter expresses
the opinion that it is the exclusive function of
the trustees to nix the teachers salaries without
the approval OF the Commissioners, it is errOne-
Gus. The Commissioners invite the recommen-
dati0n OF the trustees in that respect and Ordi-
nar1ly adopt the same when there is no good
reason for not doing so, but the annual approval
OF the Commissioners is legally necessary. The
by indorsing it on the monthly pay roll when it
was found not to be in excess of the rate allow
able under the appropriation. II in your opin-
ion any provision OF law has been overlooked in
reaching these conclusions the Commissioners
would be pleased To have it pointed out"

Gen. Bradley T. Johnston, Of Maryland, one

Washington, to-day, by STAR reporter who
asked him what step his company would take
now that the suit to test the Bell patents had

over to make some inquiries in that direction,
but presume that the application and the
papers will now be referred by the Department
OF Justice to the Interior department. That Is
the regular course, and have no doubt it will
be adopted. The papers will go to the commits

THE SECRET SERVICE.
Chief Brooks Thinks All Government
Detectives Should Be Under One Head.

In conversation with q STAR reporter, Chief
Brooks, of the U. S. secret service spoke of the
present plan of organization of the service and
of the increased efficiency that might be brought
about by reorganization. AS at present Or
ganized the secret service bureau is not per-
mitted to expend any money except in investi-
eating frauds in bounty and back pay matters
and in unearthing counterfeiters. Members of
the service are frequently called upon to aid in
hunting down other rascalities and frauds upon
the government and in bringing the perpetra-
tors to justice and they can only be employed
in this way when no expense is entaiied They
cannot expend dollar except in the discovery
and prosecution of frauds of the two classes
mentioned. Chief Brooks thinks that the
service could be made more valuable and its
DISSATISFACTION. His idea is that the force should
be given power to take hold of and prosecute
frauds wherever the government is concerned;
that in short there should be a consoli-
dation Of all the forces of government de-
tectives under one organization and one head
As it Is 1t is not uneommon for men in the de-
Others tracks and their work is frequently

OF the government could De conducted much
more economically under the plan he suggests
AS 1t is there are revenue agents, customs Off
Gals secret service men and others engaged in
detective work, and sometimes several of them
representing different branches of the service
are traversing the same field at one time. 1.-THE
plan suggest" said Chief Brooks, "would COM
pei some reduction and thus create some
vacancies, fewer men would be required
under one efficient organization. have no doubt
1t would make a vacancy in my own office, as a
younger man would probably be needed; but
my resignation is ready whenever those in
authority deem 1t best for me to retire. There
fore, do not make the suggestion of a single
compact organization OF government police or
detectives from any selfish motives. / know
that the service could be vastly improved and
that it would cost a great deal less than now
The plan will be adopted in time, because the
