SUPPORT OF MRS. COOPER.
Two Witnesses Before Board Of Educa
ton in Her Behalf.

The board of education held another
meeting behind closed doors at the Franklin
building last evening and examined two
witnesses in the case of Mrs. A. J. Cooper,
principal of the NJ Street High School.
These witnesses were Mr.. George H White,
former representative in Congress from
North Carolina, and Mrs. A. M. Curtis, rep
resenting the mothers of pupils in the NJ
street school
Both spoke strongly in support of the ad-
minstration Of Mrs. Cooper and undertook
to show that there was no foundation for
the charges against her.
'"The colored people of Washington" said
Mr.. White, thoroughly resent the perse-
cution Of her in this matter, and If the
board should decide against her they are
willing to appeal to higher tribunal"
Mrs Curtis said she believed Mrs Cooper
was right in her contention that the curricu-
lum of the M Street High School should not
be inferior in any way to those of other
high schools, and that the teacher should
be upheld Mrs. Cooper" she said, has
implanted high ideals of life and scholar
ship in the minds of the young men and
women who have been in her charge, and
she has made splendid record.
IF the colored pupils of the graded
school are graduated into the high schools
don't know why a question of their
capacity should arise after they get there"
= Other witnesses in this case will be ex-
amined by the board of education tonight
The board announced the following sue
cessful candidates for the Kindergarten de-
partment of Normal No. /: Cornelfa M.
Allen, Alice Berry, Madge Coon Lillian
Davis, Evelyn Kemp, Clara Scofield, Garry
Nayhor and E. Williams. Those named as
substitutes in the music department OF the

Resolutions Of Respect.

The members of George G. Meade Post,
No. 8, Department of the Potomac Grand
Army of the Republic, at meeting held
the 26th instant at G. A. r. Hall, on Penn

FEAR LACK OF SPACE
TRUCKERS AT MARKET ALARMED
OVER PROSPECT.

The progress of the work on the new
Army Medical Museum building in the
Smithsonian grounds Is a matter of con-
siderable concern to some OF the truckers
who do business along B street. They feel
certain that when the building is completed
the space now allotted to them will be cur
tailed to such an extent that they will be
without room enough to conduct business.
1t is believed that when the building is
completed the space between 9Th and 18th
streets along the south curb line will be
cleared. and this will result in leaving so
little space that scores of the growers will
find it difficult. If not impossible, to get
stands.
1t often occurs that the space Is not
great enough to accommodate them under
present conditions, not even with an extra
line of wagons along the middle of the
street. This morning a number of the
truckers discussed the situation. and sug-
gested that number OF them form stock
company and build a wholesale market in
another section for their accommodation.
These men pay annual rental enough, they
think, to provide them better accommoda-
tions than they are now given. There Is
no shed or other protection for their stock
along the market thoroughfare, and the
enterprise suggested would give them pro-
lection in the nature of shed.
This would not only protect their stock.
but would also be the means of giving the
dealers shelter from the weather, and would
protect their goods. Several discussions
have been had by the dealers who are in
terested, but no definite plans have yet
been formulated.
The Market Quotations.
Fruits and vegetables from the surround
the country were plentiful on the line this
morning and the prices were low. Toma-
toes that have been bringing from 70 cents
to 81 box were to be had as low as 35
cents. while the best of the stock brought
Is cents. 1t is thought by the dealers that
they will be even cheaper tomorrow. Apples
and pears were to be had in any quantities,
the former selling as cheap as 81 barrel
and the latter at 20 cents box.
The crop Of string beans is unusually
large and the price Is CORRESPONDENCE low.
Some of the growers, who had paid 10 cents
barrel for the picking, sold their stock al
a profit of 10 cents on what the picking
cost Good cabbages were sold at from 81
to So a hundred, and spinach and kale were
to be had for 81 barrel. Lettuce was also
plentiful and cheap, the supply being far
greater than the demand.
There was good supply of chickens and
eggs along the line, and the market was
firm SO far as they were concerned. The
wholesale price of eggs was q cents. and
the price of chickens depended upon their
size and quality.
