Want Shade Removed.

The District Commissioners have received
petition from Joseph H. jackson OF 2O13
NJ street and other residents in the vicinity
asking for the removal Of the shade from
the arc electric light in front Of 2O15 NJ
street. 1t is declared in the petition that
the shade acts a reflector and throws
the light entirely to the north side of the
street and causes shadows from the trees
to be thrown into the front rooms of the
residences, frightening children and caus-
Ing serious trouble to the occupants.
Thomas ]. Fisher. the inspector of electric
lighting, has reported to the Commission
ers upon the matter, and SAYS that the
shade on the light in no wise acts as a re-
Hector. Continuing. Mr.. Fisher says: Il
do, however. recommend that the shade be
allowed to remain on the lamp"
Shades are placed on arc lights to pro-
tect the houses Immediately behind them
on the same side of the street where the
supporting pole is located

NAMING SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
High School Graduates Want e. A.
Paul HONOred.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived communication from Messrs W.
j. Palmer, Frank B. Noyes and c. B.
Rheem. committee Of the class of '7S of
the Washington High School, urging the
proprtety Of naming one of the new Dis
trict school houses for Mr.. E. A. Paul, the
first principal of the High School The
committee in its letter states:
Mr. Paul enjoyed in the highest degree
the affection and respect Of the High
School pupils, and his untimely decease
was matter or deep personal grief to the
many with whom he had been associated.
I'VE feel that the High School expert
ment owes its success to Mr.. Paul. and we
hope that You will agree with us in the
view that it is eminently proper, and that
his services should be remembered aud
commemorated by the monument of a
building named in his honor
There is but very limited list of names
eligible for school buildings in the District
under the customary rule OF naming build
ings after Presidents of the United States,
ex-mayors of Washington, Commissioners
of the District Of Columbia, and governors
Of the District. For the schools in George
town it has been suggested that the build
ings be named after the mayors of that
city when it was a separate municipality.
1t has also been the custom not to name
a building after any of the public men in
cluded in the above category until after
their demise. With the exception OF the
mayors Of Georgetown there are but Tx
names on the eligible list. There were
eleven mayors OF Georgetown, all Of whom
are dead.
SO 1t will be seen that there is soon to
be encountered some little difficulty in Sc
curing suitable names for buildings and
the suggestion of the committee Of the
class Of '7S of the High School comes at a
time when the Commissioners have been
giving much thought and attention to the
question of school nomenclature.
Where schools have been erected in we'll
established suburbs the buildings have
been named for the community.

Contracts for BrOOkland Engine
House,

The District Commissioners have decided
to award the contract for the construction
of the chemical engine house to be located
in Brookland to Messrs. Burgess & Par
sons. theirs being the lowest bid for the
building, $6.317, without plumbing. The
Commissioners will also accept the pro-
posal Of E. ]. Hannah for the plumbing,
his bid OF 1914 being the lowest. The speci-
hcationS for the new chemical engine house
provide that the District will supply the
brick for the structure, the cost of which
will be about 81, 1926. Together with the
plumbing and the brick the cost of the en-
CINE house Is brought up to sS.457.25 which
Is well within the appropriation available
which, exclusive of the estimated cost Of
contingencies, Is $9,345T.

OUR MILITARY POLICY IN PEKIN.

the LegatiOu Guard.

the Legation Guard.
The instructions issued by Gen. Chaffee.
under direction of the War Department,
in regard to the protection of the Amer
lean legation at Pekin after the departure
Of the United States troops from China
were made public at the department today.
They designate Company B of the 9th In
fantry as the legation guard, and Maj. E.
B. Robertson of that regiment is detailed
as commander.
Major Robertsons attention is especially
invited to the fact that the troops under
his command are stationed in a foreign
country with which the United States is
on terms Of friendship. The guard must
therefore not be used aggressively unless
In defense OF the American legation or
persons and property of American citizens
in it's immediate vicinity.
The guard will repeI attacks made by
Chinese on the American legation or Its
own position. and If necessary to do so
may fire upon the assaiiants. 1t may CO.
operate with other foreign troops for the
defense OF the legations in event Of attack
being made on same by any Chinese forces.

Why Bryan's Vote Fell on.

1.-The vote for Mr.. Bryan fell OF in Ala
bama at the recent presidential election.
and that Is easily accounted for. 1t was
not that they did not like Mr.. Bryan. or
that they doubted his sincerity. but many
thought that he wanted to ingraft into the
creed something that had not been there
before-something that was not democracy,
but was designed to render the creed ac-
ceptable to those who were not democrats
whom he would make his allies. There
were some who would not accept this even
from Mr. Bryan, who thought they could
see Mr.. Byan standing with one foot on
the platform of democracy and one foot in
the mud. Democrats who thought this re-
manned at home and did not vote. Among
such people you may not look for converts
to the republican party"

Of views, which have been proceeding
for some time. 1 personally inspired the
negotiations which led to the result now
known. When I learned that the car
intended to review The German fleet in
the Baltic I deemed it more important
than ever to secure a visit to France.

Delcasse, prepared this great event, for
which negotiation was pursued with the
greatest secrecy" Loubet is further re-
ported as saying that. thanks to the
Franco-Russian alliance. war was
sverted with China; also that up to now
the program of the journey accepted by;
the Russian chancellor does not include
a visit to Paris.
