THE ANSWER FILED.
Corporation Counsel Explains Why
Pool Room Wires Were Removed.

The corporation counsel, Mr.. A. B. Du-
missioners with regard to the communica-
ton of Thomas M. Fields, who inquired by
what right the Commissioners ordered the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany to take down the wires on its poles,
which led to the new pool room that existed
for time near the District line in the
vicinity of Conduit road. Commissioner
West ordered the wires down and the COM
pany promptly complied with the order. Mr..
Fields wrote and denied the authority Of
the Commissioners in the premises.
Corporation Counsel Duval sustains the
Commissioner. He says:
Congress In its legislation has clearly
distinguished between wires used for tele-
used for telegraph. telephone and electric
dittons in each case under which the Com
missioners charged by the law with the
control Of the public highways are author
lied to allow the stringing of wires used
for the respective purposes aforesaid.
Permits accordingly have been and are
issued in each case for toe particular class
o. wires. The wires in question were strung
under permits issued to the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company for telephone
purposes and not for telegraph wires; and
inasmuch as the company has without con-
ton Of the Commissioners in the premises,
and as no peimit was issued to the I'M
disclosed lessee of these wires I am of
the opinion that the Commissioners, under
the circumstances, are not required to en-
ter into the controversy invited"

Very Large Attendance at Mckinley
Manual Training School.

1t was learned late this afternoon that
the number of applicants for admission to
the Mckinley Manual Training School,
known as the "rech.." at Rhode Island ave.
nue. and 7th street northwest. greatly ex-
ceeds the capacity of the building and it is
believed many students who have applied
for entrance cannot be accommodated
there this term.
Mr.. J. c. Chamberlain. director Of manual
training. stated to reporter for The Star
that tie list of candidates for admission to
the Mckinley School Is exceptionally large,
and it will be impossible to find room for
all CT the prospective students. AS soon as
the present enrolment is settled. he said, 1t
is likely that places may be made in the
building for few of the applicants. but he
does not believe all can be provided for.
It was stated that a limited amount Of
room Is at the disposal of the training
schools at the Central High School build
ing, but only few Of the candidates tor
admission can be accommodated at the
Central.
Judging from the exceptionally large
number of applicants for admission to
manual training schools. 1t seems that that
branch of education is rapidly gaining
favor among the youth of the national
