REPORTS OF ENROLMENT
WERE MADE LAST NIGHT
Supervising Principals of Schools Met
and Discussed Conditions in
Various Buildings.

Reports from all the public schools In
the District of Columbia made at the
meeting of the supervising principals at
the Franklin school building last night
showed that the attendance is very
large and that the schools in the north
east section are already congested. This
is partly owing to the fact that the new
building at Trinidad is not ready for oc-
cupancy.
There is also big increase in all OF
the suburban schools The new build
ing at Takoma Is already crowded be-
yond its capacity.
Over the larger part Of the city the
schools show no unusual growth. ex-
cepting the Mckinley and the Arm
strong Manual Training Schools These
schools have In the shop accommoda-
tions for all. tut are lacking in class
room space.
The attendance at the Mckinley Man
ual Training School is so much IN ex-
cess of the estimate made when the
building was planned year ago that
II is evident Congress will have to pro-
vide for the immediate enlargement OF
the building.
TIL. exact number OF pupils in excess
of last years enrolment will not he
known for several days. as the schools
never reach their maximum of attend
ance until the middle of October.

BAPTIST CONVENTION
Washington Delegation Is
Home From Birmingham.
Rev. A. willbanks, Colored, Details the
Scene of Horror Following
the Row in Church.

Rev. A. Willbanks. colored. pastor oil
others Of the Washington delegation
that attended the Baptist convention at
birmingham. Ala. returned to the city
yesterday. They were at Shiloh Church
tho day OF the great stampede. in which
los people lost their lives Rev. Will
banks was one OF the rescuIng party and
gives 81 graphic description Of the har-
rowing scenes about the church Tie Is
people out to hear Booker T. Washing
ton speak. and In the crowd were many
white people.
He says that the human mass ten feet
walls flanking the steps at the front of
the church was terrifying sight. In
the twenty minutes before the FIRE de-
partment got tn work the more COL
lected Of the congregation including th.
white people. had done much in the way
OF rescuing the injured. In one vacant
lot there were forty six dead In one row.
In the church there were twenty-five
more. The groans and shrieks Of the in
jured were Something awful and the
stoutest hearts quailed
Relatives Crowded to Scene
OF the killed rs lived in Birmingham.
News Of the disaster spread very rapidly
and soon the relatives and friends of the
unfortunates began to arrive from every
part Of the city. The number OF wound
ed is still uncertain. The Washington
people left yesterday morning.
Rev. Willbanks says that feeling in
birmingham is high against Bellew. the
Baltimore man who by promoting 4
qus.rrel caused the Wild stampede. He
is In jail under indictment for disturb
ing religious worship. On the day of
the disaster there we're many threats
against him. The Washington delega-
tion wishes to state that they fail to see
why any blame should attach to the pas
tor of the church or to any officer Of
the convention.
Rev. Willbanks and perhaps others Of
the delegation will lecture on the catas
trophe. He will lecture next Monday |
night at Virginia Avenue Church.

sane murderer over to them. Klein's
father has engaged counsel. and will
fight The attempt of Superintendent

also detailed his son. Deputy Sheriff
Harry Palmer. to accompany the party.
The officers then hurried to the Klein
home. near Bailey's Cross Roads. in
hope of catching the insane man should
he be around. Upon going to the house
they were confronted by the murderer's
father. who in blunt but emphatic
manner informed the detectives that his
son was hiding in the woods. and that
he would not surrender him.
The father finally consented to say
that he was willing to have his son meet
the police in court next morning. but
that the counsel he had engaged had
ordered him not to give him up with

refused absolutely to discuss the propo-
sition of turning over his son to the

NELSON ACQUITTED
ON SECOND TRIAL
Mr. Brent stated their belief that the
witnesses sought to avoid appearance.
Judge Loves Statement.

THE Commonwealth said yesterday
that they were ready TO proceed" Judge
Love said. THE jury was impaneled
and the opening speeches were made.
The court adjourned early yesterday be-
cause the Commonwealth had no wit
nesses ready then. Today the court is
met with the fact that there are no wit
nesses present and no assurance that
there will be any. The court has no
power TO send to the District of Column
bia and compel these witnesses TO at
tend.
No blame attaches to the Common
wealth. Al the same time the party
who stands indicted here has certain
rights. He is ready for trial. II is my
duty TO direct the trial to proceed.

ing. Two loaded coal cars on the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey tracks were
burned during the night. while in many
instances the windows af non-unionists'
houses were stoned and smashed.
Tonight the spirit of unrest is such
that the morning is looked upon as being
productive of more violence. The belief
is that the sheriff cannot long avoid
asking for troops.

A. Shrode of this place says:
II suffered much as many other
women do with Kidney and Bladder
Troubles. l tried many medicines. but
got no relief till | used Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Nine boxes Of this remedy cured me
completely and feel it my duty TO my
fellow women to make this statement.
Il can heartily recommend them to
any woman suffering with Kidney and
Bladder Ailments"
The words of Mrs. Shrode will be
good news to many of her suffering sis
tiers. Dodd's Kidney Pills have proven
themselves to be sick women's best
friend. for they are as effectual In all
cases of Female Weakness as in Blad.
