siderable sentiment among persons inter-
ested In compulsory education law
throughout the city, in opposition to the
provision In the proposed bill which speci-
mes that in cases where the parents or
guardians of the children are not able TO
provide suitable clothing for them that the
matter be reported to the board of chart
ties. which shall have authority to provide
the necessary wearing apparel from the
public funds. 1t is considered that such a
provision is unwise for several reasons
Mr.. Charles F. Weller. secretary of the
Associated Charities. stated to q Star re-
porter that he is opposed to the provision
authorizing the board of charities to supply
the clothing for the children whose parents
may not be able to do so. He believes
that the matter can be handled more equi-
tably and properly by private charities.
At present it is stated the Associated
Charities is supplying children with SUIT
able clothing in really deserving cases. and
Mr.. Weller believes that even with corn
sary wearing apparel can be provided pri-
yately. where it Is actually needed. and
thus avoid the publicity that would he
likely to arise IL the matter were under the
supervision of a public organization.
1t is also argued that the minimum age
limit should be fixed at sig years. instead OF
at eight as proposed in the present draft
OF the bill.
Commissioner Mcfarland stated that the
various points in the proposed bill will be
carefully considered by the Commissioners
before 1t Is sent to Congress. and that the
clothing and age features will receive con-
sideration along with the other provisions
o. the bill.

compelled to eat cold breakfasts today.
Manufacturing plants in which natural

The plan of meeting extraordinary public
improvements in the District by advances
from the federal treasury was urgently ad-
vocated, it being the prevailing belief that
these improvements should not be saddled
on the people to pay during the next few
years, but that the future generation should
nave Its share in the payment for works
from which 1t will profit to even a greater
degree than we of the present The Senate
appropriation committee may take this
matter up at an early meeting.

exhibit at the ST. Louis fair The sum OF
$4,000 which the legislature appropriated
for an exhibit will be returned to the treas

caused by recent decision of the terri

decision was To turn the management OF all

The installation of a high-pressure water
service for the business section of the city
was another matter given much attention
at the meeting. various experts from the
fire department, insurance companies and
other business enterprises in the city
speaking strongly for the change in the
pressure. Inasmuch as estimates were a
year ago made by the Commissioners that
ton of the high-pressure plant, and that
such a plant would be equal in power to
engines at their highest power, the general
opinion was tdat the business section of the.
city was poorly provided with fire-extin-
gushing apparatus and that in the event
of high wind and sudden blaze in combs
nation there was great danger of the COM
pact business section being completely
burned out
No Provision Mades Last Year.
Last year there was no provision made
by Congress for this high-pressure system,
and this year it was omitted from the rec
concentrations by the Commissioners 1t
being very important that an amendment
be entered IN the appropriation bill for this
purpose, the Board of Trade will send 20
the committees which have the care of the
bill President Cox, Secretary Harries and
several members of committees TO speak Ia
favor OF 1t. The amendment was intro
duced in the Senate today.

Grass for state Treasurer.

T T Kelly now has an opponent
for the nomination of state treasurer on
the republican ticket in the name Of H.
W Grass, of La Crosse, Rush county.
Mr. Grass was strongly endorsed by his
home county, while Kelly was turned
down in his, Miami.
Mr.. Grass, having been urged by
many friends to Try for the nomination
of treasurer, recently gave his accept
ande to be a candidate. Kelly has
strong opposition in his own party and
the newspapers who know his record
best denOunCe him as unfit for the peO-
pies trust and the keeper of the states
moneys.
1t is probable that before the cOnven-
ton to be held in Wichita March g.
Kelly may receive such strenuous oppO-
sition that he shall be forced to with
draw. About forty of the leading re-
publican papers of Kansas have already
declared against him, and among them
is his home paper, the Miami County
Republican.
Mr.. Grass is fast gathering to him
self large support, and It is the desire
of the best element of his party that he
receive the nomination for state treas
urer instead Of Kelly.
