The widow of Frederick Douglass
Helen Douglass, today filed bill in equity
against Lewis H. Douglass and the other
heirs-at-law of her husband, praying that
his will be interpreted and construed wi,
reference to a legacy to her of $4,000 il,
United States registered bonds. Mrs Doug
lass and her son-in-law, Lewis H. Douglass,
are administrators Of the estate, and she
alleges that the heirs-at-law object to the
payment of this particular legacy because
no such bonds were found as part of tn.
estate. She claims, however, that II is n
general legacy, and that as there remains
the sum Of $23,550 undisposed of and not
distributed, the bonds can be purcha sed
out Of such sum. Mrs. Douglass is repr..-
scented by Attorney B. F. Leighton

1.-THE committee on normal and high
schools recommends the appointment of
Mr.. II. NJ. Johnson in place of Mr.. c. VI.
Lacey Sites as principal of the Eastern High
School. This recommendation is made with
out any reflection upon the moral charac-
ter or scholarship of Mr. Sites, but for the
reason that in the judgment of the COM
mittee. reached after careful consideration,
the general welfare Of that school and OF
the High School system of the District Will
be promoted by such change"
Action upon the report was deferred un-
til after the reading of the entire list OF
nominations of teachers. and when the
question arose as TO action upon the report
ii was unanimously adopted by a viva voce
vote. No member of the board showed even
sufficient opposition to the change TO ask
for roll call. There was. therefore,
separate vote upon the nomination of Prof.
Johnson, whose appointment was unhesi-
tatingly approved along with the entire list
of teachers in the normal and high schools.
Prof. Johnson's appointment is strictly in
line with civil service reform he having
been teacher of physics in the school to
the principalship of which he is promoted.
