iections extend over the walls giving
ample shade. The interior is cemented
with brick trimmings. The main ap-
proach to the building has three arch
ed entrances, leading onto a lanai,
which is 81 by 80 feet. This gives
considerable space for the scholars to
gather during rainy weather. Three
large double doors open direct from
the lanai with the main corridor. This
corridor is 10 1-2 feet wide The on

UP to the second floor. The stairs are
five feet wide, without turns, and each
having a platform in the middle for

rooms there is an assembly hall, 80 by
50, for public exercises. Every class
room has its coat and hat room.

left shoulder of the pupil. The win
dows are arranged according to the
very last authority on lighting. The

and the angle that the light should
considered.
On the inside of all class rooms,
next to the corridors, movable tran
SONS have been inserted for light and
ventilation These have been placed
above the height of the door. Every
window has sliding blinds, which will
run down into a pocket. 1t is possible
by these blinds to expose any part or
all of the light This places the light
entirely under the control of the
teacher.
A perfect. system of electric bells
and speaking tubes connects the prin-
cipaFs office with the library and all
the class rooms. The principal can
call a teacher or give an order without
the inconvenience of making per
sonal visit. Armstrong Smith, who has
been at the head of Fort Street school,
will be the principal at Palama. Mr..
Smith has returned from Chicago
where he made careful study of the
school system under Colonel Parker's
direction. He is eminently fitted for
the post.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR QUARREL.
Cox Denies the Application
of District Assembly No, &C.

Justice Cox today denied the application
of District Assembly No. 66, knights OF
Labor, based on the affidavit of Thomas
O'Dea, to hold John W. Hayes, general
secretary treasurer of the Order of
Knights of Labor, in contempt for the al
legged violation of the order of the court
enjoining him to recognize Assembly No.
66 as a legitimate body of the order
The proceedings today were concerning
only one phase of the differences between
the local assembly and the general officers
of the order, and were the result of the
petition filed by the former against the
latter last August to compel not only the
recognition of the local body as the legiti-
mate representatives of the order in the
District, but also to restrain them from
recognizing any other central body of
knights of Labor in this city.
On the application of District Assembly
No. &C the court issued a temporary re-
straining order commanding the general
officers to recognize the local assembly
and restraining them from having any
official relations with any other body
which might be organized claiming to be
District Assembly No. &c, X. of L. This
order of the court was based on the allie
cations of the District Assembly in its
petition for injunction, which set forth
that the executive board of the order had
without authority and in violation of the
articles OF the constitution revoked Its
charter.
The affidavit of O'Dea filed a few days
ago charged that Hayes had violated the
Injunction by recognizing one E. E. Moore
as a delegate representing an assembly Of
the knights of Labor organized in oppo-
sition of the implicit order of the court,
made at the time of the filing of the origi
nal proceedings.

EUGENE PETERS
said TO Be insane
Application for a Writ de Lu-
naticO Inquirendo.
Petition to Restrain Him From
Drawing Money.
The Complainant Is Annie f. Ham
mum, His Nearest Living Blood
Relative.

AS a result of the actions of Eugene
Peters which have kept him prominently
before the public for the last few days
two petitions were filed in the Supreme
Court OF the District today. One was for
a writ de lunatieo inquirendo and the other
for an injunction against Peters, the Citi
zens National Bank, the Central National
Company, of the District of Columbia, to
enjoin the institutions named from paying
out any money on checks or drafts draw
by Peters.
In both instances the complainant or
petitioner is Annie E. Hannum, the aunt
of Peters, who states she is his nearest
living blood relation. She states that
Peters is of unsound mind and incapable Of
caring for himself or his property. She
alao alleges that she believes that he has
large amounts of money deposited in the
banks mentioned above, which are sub
ject 10 his control and disposition, and that
since February l last he has squandered
large sums, amounting TO several thou-
sand dollars, among gamblers and disrepu-
table persons.
In consequence of the above mentioned
state of affairs the petitioner asks that the
court issue the order restraining the banks
mentioned from paying out any OF the
funds of Peters on his check or draft.
Justice Cox issued a rule In the matter
of the writ de Iunatico inquirendo, re-
turnable March Z, and on the application
the rule is returnable March 10 next. The
petitioner IS represented by Messrs. Jere
NJ Wilson and A III. HOeling.

been seen here before is undeniably one
of the best ever shown in Washington.

and discretionate understanding rare in
even the most competent players, while
the purely physical part of the role is ex-
hibited to the utmost advantage Mr.
Shea's staging of the piece calls for more
effort from him and less from the calci-

is, therefore, more than usually admira-
bic. The supporting company is only par
