New School Room in Fourth Ward
Chairman Bulla of the Board of Educa-
tion committee on buildings and grounds
has rented building from Peter Lenagh
at Thirty ninth and l. streets, which will
be fitted up at once for school purposes.
The building secured is thirty-fve feet long
and twenty feet wide and will probably seat
seventy-flve OF eighty pupils.
Some time ago a lengthy petition was
presented to the board asking that school
room be provided west OF the Burlington
tracks in the Fourth ward. canvass was
made and 1t was found that over eighty
pupils lived west of the tracks and were
compelled to attend the school at Thirty
third and ] streets. Parents objected to
sending their small children to this school
on account of the danger in crossing the
railroad tracks. This danger has been in
creased by the building of switch yards by
the Burlington. Another reason for the
renting of this outside room is the over
crowded condition of the school at Thirty
third and streets. Something had to be
done to provide for the increase in the num-
ber OF pupile and the securing of this room
was an absolute necessity. 1t Is presumed
that the attendance at this outside room
will be made up mostly of small children,
Parents are well pleased at the action Of
the board in this matter as 1t will obviate
the necessity of their children going any
where near the railroad tracks.

breeders of shorthorns, Herefords and Angus
cattle will meet in Chicago and it is pro-
posed to submit the proposition of an in

convention with a view of securing sup

show the cattlemen of Kansas. Nebraska,
Iowa and the entire west will most likely
send protests about holding the show in
Chicago. on the ground that it is too far
away from the section of the country where
live stock for food purposes is raised.

drawings did seem clearly better than
those hanging near by. The writer saw
these drawings before the awards were
made and he could not pick out the win

parative merits and two full hours for the
Jury OF award TO arrive at a conclusion.

A Melancholy Man Ends His Life.

Joseph's Hospital of a fractured skull. Mr..
Hexter. whose mind had been eIouded for
several years by persistent melancholia.
last night sprang from a second-story win
dow OF his residence on Broad Street above
Monterey Avenue. in the presence of his
wife and the family physician. He was
picked up unconscious and conveyed to ST.
Joseph's. where he died several hours
later. Mr.. Hexter's mental distress dated
from painful bereavement several years
ago. his brother having been fatally
crushed by an elevator in their business
house. Treatment and travel were resorted
to in vain to dispei his affiiction.

Richmond, who has been a student at the
league the past winter, won the scholar
ship by a most ingenious design for
Ships That Pass in the Night"
On sage-green background were placed
two small white sailboats of the Mediter-
ranean type. The boats are about to pass,
and the intervening space between the
sails forms a heart. This Is done with
such subtle skill and taste that nine out
of ten observers probably overlooked that
truly fine touch so valuable a quality in
book cover designs. 1t is to be regretted
that there is no hint of night in this
otherwise successful design. This. with
number of other book-cover designs is
quite up to the modern standards of the
leading publishing houses. OF the espe-
cially successful ones may be mentioned
Miss Topliff's Peter Ibetson," an original
arrangement Of poppies and their stems.
There is, however, suggestion of gaspipes
or an ice factory in the symmetrical ar
rangement of the stems that is not pleas
ant.
Miss Bessie Durfees design for "Rever-
les of a Bachelor" is notable for a panel
OF pansies. black on a chocolate ground,
outlined with gold. Midsummer Nights
Dream" roses, cobwebs. and fairies. is
another very clever cover design by the
same student. Miss Durfee shows also
fine Arabic design for tile. red and black
forms on yellow ground.
One of the newest and most original
things shown is the work of Miss Moves, a
scarib with extended wings. This occupies
the center of a tile design, but is unfortu-
nately lost by the coarse. commonplace or
naments which surround it. This unique
little scarib would have been the best
thing in the whole display if he had been
placed alone in the field of yellow, with
perhaps some little unobtrusive border.
The wallpaper and organdie designs
were all interesting, particularly Miss
Katherine Mimmack's pink poppies with
black stems. Miss Minnie L. Rynix's prim-
rose design. and Miss Mamie R. Balls
treatment of yellow iris, There is a great
deal of decorative iierisring in the book
cover department, and fit is all weak and
bad. The lettering one sees every day on
magazines and books is, so truly artistic
that it is a mystery how these students
could have overlooked this very important
feature of book-cover designing.
However. nothing in the way of an art
display has been made here in Washington
in recent years which seems so full of
promise as the work Of this class in In
dustrial design, and future exhibitions of
efforts by these students will be looked
forward to with especial interest

REVENUE LAW VIOLATION
w. c. Prathcr and John c. Cats Held
in $500 Bonds.


United States Commissioner Samuel r
Mills yesterday held W. C. Prather and
John C. Cats in $500 bond each for all
legged violation OF the United States in
ternal revenue law.
The accused are represented to be the
principals, conducting a wholesale cigar
business. under the name of THE New
York Brokerage Company. at 1905
Street northwest.
The specific charge against the accused
is that they violated the law in relation
to the use of revenue stamps on cigar
boxes. 1t Is charged that they procured
large number OF empty cigar boxes,
which had been used for brands of first
class cigars, but upon which the stamps
were not destroyed.
These boxes. it is alleged. were filed
with cheap grades OF cigars and sold al a
high price.
