APPOINTMENTS ARE VALID
JUSTICE CLABAUGH DECIDES THE
JUSTICES OF PEACE QUESTION.
Signs an Order Quashfng Quo War
ranto Proceedings and Dismisses
the Petition.

At the conclusion of the arguments in
connection with the proceedings for writ
OF quo warranto instituted by Catherine N.
Thompson against Samuel c. Mills, the is
sue constituting q test case to determine
the validity Of the appointment OF the JUS
tees Of the peace now serving, Justice Cla-
baugh of the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia, late yesterday afternoon,
signed an order quashing the writ and dis
missing the petition. This action on the
part Of the court holds the appointment Of
the ten local justices Of the peace to have
been valid. An appeal from the ruling was
noted.
Ten justices of the peace were provided
by the code. Before 1t became operative
the President appointed the justices, the
Senate confirmed them and they subscribed
to the oath of office. The contention was
that the appointment of Mr. Mills his con-
ffrmation and the taking of the oath Of Of
flee were without authority of law, they
having occurred prior to the time the code
became operative.
Justice ClabauEh Gives Reasons.
In disposing of the matter, Justice Cla-
baugh took the view that the office Of JUS
tice of the peace has been in existence in
the District of Columbia for many years,
and is continued by the code just as it
existed prior to the adoption of the code. In
making the recent appointments, SO Justice
Clabaugh held the President merely ap-
pointed to offices not created by the code,
but to the same offices that had existed and
were continued by the code The latter
provides that "the judicial power In the
District shall continue as at present to be
vested in inferior courts, namely, justices
Of the peace and the Police Court. !" ~
The Presidents recent appointments to
the office, according to Justice Clabaugh,
were of the same character as though he
had sent the names of individuals to the
Senate to fill vacancies created by the ex-
piration of the terms of incumbents of the
office.

SCHOOL EQUIPMENT FUND
INQUIRY REGARDING ITS USE FOR
PURCHASE OF BOOKS.
Gen. BOynton Transmits Letter and
Requests Opinion of Controller
of the Treasury.

Gen. Fl. V. Boynton, president of the
board of education, has forwarded to the
District Commissioners letter from Mr..
A. 7. Stuart superintendent of schools,
asking that the Commissioners obtain an
opinion from the controller of the treasury
touching the use of the equipment fund for
the purchase of books for the use of the
manual training schools. To use the con-
tingent fund, which is small. Gen. Boynton
says, would impose too great burdens upon
it. 1T would SEEM" he adds, "as if Mr..
Stuart makes it clear that such books as
he refers to are as much part of the
equipment of these schools as machinery
and other apparatus. Superintendent Stu
art explains the matter as follows:
The current appropriation act carries an
appropriation of S25, geo for furniture for
and equipment Of Manual Training School
No. L. and of $37 800 for the same purpose
for Manual Training School No. 2.
THE principals of these schools desire to
purchase as an essential part OF the equip
ment of their respective schools a large
number of reference books. technical in
their character, for the use of the teachers
in the various departments of manual train
ing.
Intention of the Board.
at was the intention of the board of edu-
cation In asking for this amount to make
special provision for necessary technical
ing well understood that the contingent
fund was not large enough to be used for
this purpose, although books and books Of
reference are specially named in said fund.
In fact, the term equipment was designed
to provide everything in the line of ma
chinery, apparatus, books, etc, that might
be necessary to put these schools in work.
ing order. If after special provision has
been thus made by Congress for this pur-
pose any considerable part Of the equip
ment must be purchased from the contin-
gent fund, the purpose of the appropria-
ton will be thereby defeated and the con-
tingent fund materially crippled. In this
case the books cannot be bought at all IL
their cost is to be charged to the contingent
fund, as that fund will barely suffice for
current needs.
II respectfully request that you will SUBJ
NIT this matter to the controller in the hope
that he will render a favorable decision in
the ease in point.
at is of great Importance to the success
Of these schools that the question OF their
book supply should be determined without
further delay"

Curing a Borrower.

People who are continually borrow
ing household utensils and neglect to
return them are annoying neighbors.
The problem of how to cure them of
the habit was solved in an effective
though somewhat costly way by one
long suffering householder.
A new man had moved into the
neighborhood. One of the first things
he did. after getting his goods into the
house. was TO borrow a stepladder
from his next door neighbor, Mr.
Smith. He needed it in putting up
his window shades" and would
return it shortly"
Next he borrowed a tack hammer, to
use in putting down his carpets.
Then he wanted a Ratchet, a screw
driver and a gimlet all of which
things Mr.. Smith. being an accommo-
dating man, allowed him to take

borrowed articles had been returned.

and apologized for having kept it so

with a genial smile, but you had
better keep 1t now. | have bought
another"
With a muttered apology the new
neighbor hurried back home and re-
turned with the gimlet, the Ratchet
and the tack hammer.
You are welcome to those" said
Mr.. Smith, cordially. Il have
bought some others, and don't need
them"
Put
That's all right. You keep them.
They'll come handy about the house"
Again he hurried away, and was re-
turning with the stepladder when Mr..
Smith, who was just going out, met
him.

The new neighbor kept the things,
but he never borrowed anything more
