Mrs. a. j. Cooper Finally Decided
Upon for Important Position.

ucation was held yesterday at the Frank
lin School Building to appoint sue
cessor to r. II. Terrell. who will become

ing was held TO settle upon candidate

the matter until it became certain that
there could be no agreement in that quar-
ter.
In consequence, Gen. II. V. Boyntcn, the
president of the beard. was asked to call
special meeting of the entire board for
yesterday and settle the question. At
the meeting there was protracted dis
cussion OF the merits OF rival candidates,
and Mrs. Cooper was finally selected.
The choice is thought to he very salts
factory TO all concerned, and the board
adjourned with the best of feeling. Mrs.
Cooper is sid to be especially fitted for
the position. as she has been an assist
ant principal for some time. and is thor
oughly acquainted with the work of the
NJ Street School.
As result of the promotion Of Mrs.
Cooper, A. c. Newman. of the NJ Street
School. is promoted from a salary OF $3.50
to $500. n. i. Brown from $500 to $780,
and Thomas Hope from $3.50 to $3.50

W. Brown being promoted from $50 to
$1,000, and Miss J. A. Wormley from 800
to $3.50 per annum.

TO ADVANCE TELEPHONE CASES
Subscribers Move for Early Hearing
Against the Company.

Against the Company.
When the Supreme Court of the United

for the Telephone Subscribers Associa-
tion. will file a molten asking that what
are known as the "i telephone cases" be
advanced upon the calendar.
The original proceedings we're institut-
ed in ths District Supreme Court by
James :. sIan ling. in Shich le asked that
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company be restrained from charging
more than $50 Q year for telephone serY-
ice. the amount fixed by the act of Con-
gress of June 30. 1898.
MIR. Manning was joined by nearly 100
other patrons OF the telephone company.
who fled similar suits. The subscribers
lost in the lower court. but we're success
ful in the Court of Appeals Tor the Dis
trict, and from this latter decision the
telephone company took an appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
II is set forth by counsel for Manning
and others that unless the case is ad-
yanced it cannot be reached until the lat
ter part OF next December, and possibly
not then, as there are very large num-
Der OF cases ahead on the docket. 1t is
contended, furthermore, that because of
it's Importance to the citizens OF Wash
ington the case ought TO be set for an
early hearing.
Counsel for the telephone company op
pose ire motiun 70 advance on the ground
that the question involved Is of no ma
terial Importance and that the case
should not be taken from the regular
