SCHOOL BUILDING DEDICATED.
Commissioner Macfarland Delivers an
Address-Program of Exercises.

The new William Syphax public school
building for coored children, on Half street
between N and o streets, was dedicated
and formally opened today with appropri-
ate exercises. The interior of the building
was decorated with potted plants and flow
ers. J. S. Bundy presided, and the princi-
pal address was made by Mr.. Henry B. T.
Macfarland. president of the board of Dis
trict Commissioners, who in part, said:
IT bring the congratulations of the Com
missioners upon the opening of the William
Syphax public school building. 1t Is an
other of the series of modern and perfect
structures which the Commissioners are
constructing as Congress provides the ap-
propriations for the accommodation OF the
increasing school population of the District
of Columbia. In a few years. at the pres
ent rate of progress, 1t will be possible for
us to say that there is no need for any
halliday schools in the national capital.
1--WE want our public school system to be
in every respect as nearly ideal as possible.
a model for the rest of the United States
AS 1t is however, we have better and am
pier school accommodations than are to be
found in most other parts of our country;
indeed. I know of no place where there Is
on the whole more complete equipment
for school purposes than we have here. We
all understand, however, that fine buildings
do not make fine schools.
I'VE hope, therefore, that the high stan
dard hitherto maintained by our teachers
may be advanced by them In the future,
and that the pupils more and more inter-
ested, and more and more ambitious, may
constantly do better work. By placing the
names of honorable men who have been
conspicuous in the service of the COM
munity upon the public school buildings the
Commissioners seek not only to show re-
spect to their memory, but to furnish ex-
ample and stimulus to those who are en-
gagged in the public schools"
The exercises were opened with prayer
a after which
the pupils Joined in singing Some Time We
VIII Understand" The flag salute follow
ed this. and the children sang Columbia,
the Gem of the Ocean," Mr.. Bundy. in ap-
propriate remarks, presented the school
with a portrait Of William Syphax, after
whom the building was named and DR..
Montgomery assistant superinte ndent of
public schools, made a speech Of accept
ance.
The keys of the new building were turn
ed over to ]. E. Walker. the superintendent,
and the children sang America" The Sy-
phax school is credit to the city. Its ap-
pontmentS are complete.

sURRENDERs TO OFFICERS.
Defendant Hayes to Apply for Release
Under Habeas Corpus

Another chapter in the Chesapeake juno
ton requisition cases was recorded today,
when Detective Hartigan turned over to the
United States marshal one Of the defend
ants, John Hayes His attorneys, r. L..
Montague and Albert Sillers, promised yes
terday that they would surrender him this
morning, and the defendant met the officer
according to agreement. Counsel arranged
to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus
In the case late this afternoon, as was done
in the case Of Andrew Beach, another of
the persons charged. The hearing on the
writ will probably be set for next Friday
morning, when the petition of Beach is also
to be heard Bond in the sum of $500 will
be given for the appearance Of Hayes. 1t
was reported to the officers this morning
that James c. Godfrey, the third of the
three men for whom requisitions were re-
ceived, will go to Marlboro tomorrow and
give bond for his appearance.
John Hayes, who surrendered today, Is
the man who is alleged to have escaped
from the custody of Sheriff Hardisty at
Marlboro few days ago, after he had
been surrendered by his bondsman. 1t was
In this matter that the sheriff was indicted
by the grand jury Sfouldsthe defendants
In the requisition cases have to return to
Prince Georges county eventually one or
more Of them will demand a change of
venue on the ground Of being unable to OBJ
tain fair trial in the county in which the
offenses charged are alleged to have oc-
CURED. Should such change be given the
presiding judge wouldN designate in what
county the cases will be=trfed.
In the last cases in which change was
granted the cases were removed to Charles
county. Unless Judge Msrrick orders a
special session of the cSurtfhe cases could
not be called until next sAprh. In this event
postponement of at least year is likely.

THE ROSS MEMORIAL.
Reports Made at Meeting Of Officers
and Directors


A meeting of the officers and directors of
the Ross Memorial Association was held
yesterday afternoon in the office of the
chief engineer of the fire department. Maj.
Richard Sylvester, president Of the asso-
citation, presided, and Chief Engineer Dut-
ton fulfilled his duties as secretary. The
constitution and by laws were adopted. The
association has now received the souvenir
certificates, which will be issued to all who
have subscribed or will subscribe to the
fund Mr. E. c. Davis reported that already
more than 81 200 had been pledged, con-
siderable sum having actually been paid
In. He stated he felt sure that as soon as
definite plans were made the subscriptions
necessary to the achievement of the pur-
pose of the association would be forthcom-
ing.
No decision was reached yesterday as to
the character of the memorial. 1t Is un-
derstood that majority Of the association
favors a large tablet or a bust of the late
Commissioner, to be placed in niche in the
main corridor Of the new District building.
A committee was appointed, with Majo
Sylvester at It's head, to consider plans for
the memorial and to ascertain ali the facts
necessary to proper decision, which Will
be made at a called meeting OF the entire
association some time In the near future.
The impression that has gone abroad
that the District people interested in the
memorial have been confined by the Com
misstoners to accepting contributions from
District employees only is erroneous. The
Commissioners stated today that they have
given no advice whatever to the associa-
ton or to those who organized 1t, except
that the employees of the District govern
ment ought not to be solicited for contribu-
tions, but should be left entirely free to
make such contributions as they desired.
The Commissioners made their own sub
scriptions to the fund. Beyond this they
have taken no part, because 1t was rep
resented to them that the movement was
ment, started at a mass meeting Of such
employees, and 1t was thought best to leave
the management Of 1t entirely in the hands
OF the Ross Memorial Association, ana
without further advice from the Commits
sioners than that care should be taken that
ell contributions should be entirely volun-
tary.
The board of directors of the association
will be increased from twenty five to forty
