Seaman Adams Charged With As
sauIt on PrincipaI Johnson

A sequel to the panic at the Bradley
school building Tuesday night was enact
ed in the Police Court this morning.
Alfred Adams, the brother of one of
the scholars in the school, who was knock
ed down in the rush TO get out of the
playroom, was arraigned before Judge
kimball and charged with having assault
ed Principal Charles A. Johnson.
Adams is a seaman in the American
navy. and it was alleged that he called
at the school yesterday morning and told
johnson that his mother was perfectly
able 10 correct her children when they
needed correction. He then shook his fist
in the face of the principal. il is alleged
and told him that If he dared to lay vio-
lent hands on young Adams again he
would so thrash the teacher that his best
friends would not recognize him.
A number of witnesses testified to the
facts in the case. Mr.. Job Barnard rep
resenting the school board was present
United States Attorney Mullowny said
that while a technical assault had been
proved against Adams. he did not care
TO prosecute him, and asked the court to
take the prisoners personal bond. This
was done.
Mr.. Barnard said he thought the school
board would take no action in the mat
ter. Mr.. Johnson was satisfactory, and
II was not the intention OF the board to
notice the occurrence at the school unless
direct charges were made.

fel.ng service TO more successfully cope
with the epideic, are nevertheless sue
ceeding in checking its spread in a great
measure.
The people of infected homes and dis
tricts can assist the department in a
great measure by maintaining a rigid
quarantine over their homes. and by re-
straining their children from going on
the streets and to stores and schools.

trict in Georgetown. which showed that
TWO children OF a family in which there
were TWO cases OF the disease were per-
mitted to attend school, thus endanger-
ing the health of the pupils associating

tion have now been quarantined and il
is hoped by the health authorities that
they were sent home before there was
any danger Of their having spread the

THE SUFFRAGE HEARING.
Authority of the Federation Of La
bor to Act Querffoned.


The hearing on the question Of the right
bia to privileges of suffrage, held last
evening at Typographical Templer under
the auspices of the American Federation
of Labor, taok a very unexpected turn
and for a time the proceedings were very
lively. Mr.. Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, who, to-
gether with Frank Morrison, has been
conducting the hearings, invited num-
ber of prominent persons who are known
TO be opposed TO comforting the right OF
franchise on the people of Washington to
be present and participate in the proceed
lnSs. The only response to these inyi-
tations was from Commissioner Ross, who
stated that 1t would be impossible for
him 10 attend on account of business en-
gagements.
Shelby Smith, a member OF Typographi-
cal Union, No. 10l, was present by invi-
tation from President Gompers. and put
in very vigorous protest against the
American Federation of Labor meddlina
with the affair in controversy. He claim
ed that the question was purely political
and for this reason alone it would be quite
improper for the national organization OF
labor TO interfere with IL. He went sc
far as to deny that the American FEEDER
alton had been asked to interfere in the
matter, as had been alleged.
The only action which the American
Federation of Labor can properly take in
the premises, Mr.. Smith claims, is to call
for a referendum vote of the trades union
lists of the District of Columbia on the
question of whether or not the national
labor organization shall interfere in the
matter
Ii was developed through a series OF
questioning that Mr.. Smith is not resi-
dent of the District, but is a voter in
North Dakota.
At the close of the hearing Mr.. Com
pers announced that If al any time the
opponents TO suffrage should ask for an
opportunity to be heard he would call an
other meeting.
