WANT TO KEEP WHITE
MOVEMENT IN NEW ORLEANS
FOR A SANITARY ADVISOR.

NEW. ORLEANS, October because Of
the record he has made here in control OF
the federal forces which are stamping out
yellow fever, a movement is about to take
form to have DR.. J. H. White permanently
stationed at New Orleans as sanitary adj
wiser to the authorities and to interest the
governors Of the nearby states to ask the
similar assignment Of marine hospital
officer. Such assignments, it is thought.
would strengthen the campaign to guard
against the "reminiscences of yellow fever in
the south. assist in the education Of the
people to the value Of the mosquito theory
and help toward an amelioration of the
severity of guarantees in the event that a
drastic national quarantine law is not pass
ed at the approaching session of congress.
These ideas are embodied in letter writ
ten by Col. w. T. CastIeman to Gov.
Blanchard. Gov. Blanchard has repl.e. IA
voring the suggestion.
The weather here remains cool and pleas
ant and the yellow fever situation is i'm
proving. not only in New Orleans, but

Board Today,

The trial of Detective. Henry Lacey
charged with conduct unbecoming an OIL
Ger, was continued before the police trial
board this morning at 10 o'clock, and as the
prosecution rested its case at the last ses-
sion the defense began the presentation of
Its case today. The session was a. long one
and lasted late into the afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be practically closed at
this session. .
The dramatic incident of the entire trial
up to this time came when the defendant
was asked to explain a phase of the case,
and made some grave charges against At
torney Chase, who Is the attorney for the
prosecution The latter was ON his feet In
moment, to protest against the admission
of the evidence. A long dispute followed,
which involved heated words, during which
the board was indulgent, and at the end it
was ruled that the evidence was admissible
in so far 1t offered an exp anation of the
charge. Then the defendant continued the
explanation, which involved the attorney.
Its a lie" was TIE Comment OF the at
torney.
II object to these side remarks" inter-
rupted the attorney for the defense.
These things have no right here and
am going to protest against them until the
board orders me out" said Attorney Chase.
Order was soon restored and the trial pro-
ceeded.
Each Of the charges was taken up In or
der and the defendant denied each one.

TEACHERS AWAIT PAY PART OF BLOCK SOLD.
Near the Post Office Depart
ment Building.

large portion of the block Immediately
south of the post office building, bounded
by 18th and 18th streets. B and C streets
northwest and officially known as square
324. passed into the hands of the govern
ment today. It is proposed to acquire the
remainder of the square by purchase or
condemnation and erect thereon an annex
to the Post Office Department building.
The big deal with Uncle Sam, which was
contaminated today through Mr.. Edward f.
Schwartz. real estate broker. involves $3.50,

braced in the transaction is described as fol-
lows: Lots IL. II. 8. north fourteen feet
Of lot 4, lots 0. 10, north 2o.17 feet of lot
and sublot 10, all in square 324."
Mr.. Schwartz,s original proposition
to sell to the United States all Of square
324 for the sum of 1893, $50. was re-
jected by Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw
because the price was regarded as Excess
sive. In his communication rejecting the
offer Secretary Shaw said:
IF the property is offered to the govern
ment, free and clear of all membranes.
for sum not in excess of $350,000. such
offer will be accepted. This Is practically
three times the assessment for purposes Of
taxation fer the years 19o2-19O3. The de-
partment will therefore accept one-half or
more of the area of the block at three
times the assessed value for the years
named, ana proceed 10 condemn the Dali

today's purchase were recorded yesterday

Congress, which appropriated 100000 foI
the purpose. The annex and the main post
office building may be connected by means
of overhead passageway. although
tunnel has been suggested 1t Is also pro-
posed, 1t Is said, that the annex Is to be
occupied by a part Of the force of the
supply division and of the rural free de-
livery. The department supplies will also
be stored there, and perhaps part of the
mails handled from the new building. The
appropriation was secured largely through
the efforts of former Postmaster General
Wynne.

Storm Of Indignation Aroused
by Treatment.
MAY GET MONEY SOON
STATEMENT BY DISTRICT DIS
BURSTING CLERK.
Same Trouble Has Occurred Several
Times in Recent
Years.

Checks not ready yet! Every one of the
1900 teachers In the District of Columbia
has been asking the question, when will
the checks be ready?" Every day since
Friday, September %, the question has
been repeated. Yesterday storm of indig-
nation broke when IL was rumored that
payment would not be made before the
10th. and probably the 18th of the month.
Salaries OF teachers in Washington are
paid In ten monthly installments, not, as
in Baltimore ana many other cities, in
twelve installments. The consequence is
that the teaching force here never receives
any money during July. August and Sep
TENDER, and this year, with the June salary
paid as early as June 20. and the Septem-
Der pay delayed to October Is, third of
year will have passed without income.
Teachers claim that there is way under
business obligations.
Some Delays.
Today, In speaking of the condition to a
high school teacher the question was ask
ed whether payments are always delayed
at the beginning of the year.
mot at all.' was the reply. during the
Wilson regime. which preceded Mr.. w. B.
Powell's administration, checks were de-
livered the first Saturday following the
close OF the month. There was never any
delay. During Mr. Powelrs administration
the time of payment, 1t is charged, became
uncertain, and at present there is never
any telling when pay day will occur. Dur
ing the year the payments are more or less
regular on the last school day of the
month. but this first salary, which is most
In demand is usually delayed week or
more"
The statement Is made that the exception
ally long delay this year is due to some
bungling as to the number of teachers al
lowed by Congress In the last appropriation.
Fourteen more teachers, according to a
member Of the Franklin clerical staff were
allowed by Congress than were asked for
by the board 1t is said these teachers
have been appointed and it now transpres
that 1t was all a mistake. The fault is
Congress and until the matter Is adjusted
all checks are held up.
There is said to be considerable recrtmina
ton about the affair. The engrossing clerk
and the Franklin officials each blaming the
others. In the meantime the teachers are
'.penniless."
At the District Building.
Because there were many changes in the
force of instructors in the public schools
at the beginning Of the new fiscal year the
teachers pay day on the last of the month
passed without Its usual cheerful accom-
paniment of rustling checks and replenish-
ed pocketbooks."
This was the reason assigned by the Dis
trict disbursing officer today to account for
the late issue of the salaries of the instruc-
tors. He announced today that the audi
tors Office will have passed upon the cor
rectness Of the list this afternoon and be-
fore evening the checks will be ready for
distribution.
