Senate District committees relative to the
compulsory education Of children in the
District, sets forth:
"a careful investigation by the Civic
Center four years ago showed that there
were then more than six thousand children
IT, the District of Columbia, from eight to
fourteen years Of age, who were not attend
ing school, and in connection with report
of this to the committee of the Senate on
the District of Columbia request was
made for more adequate law as to COM
pulsory education in the schools Of the Dis
trict.
'.Inasmuch as no provision has yet been
made ii might have been expected that
this condition would continue. That 1t has
SO continued is shown by recent tnvesti-
cation, which. though not exhaustive proves
conclusively that there have been, and are
now, many thousand children in the Dis
trict of Columbia who are growing up with
out any of the education necessary to fit
them for becoming either good or useful
members of the community.
.'The wisdom Of insisting that all boys and
girls shall have so much education as shall
fit them to be good citizens and self-sup-
porting members of society is so universally
admitted that it would seem out of place
even to argue the question before your COM
mittee; nor should anything more than a
simple statement of the facts be required
to show that from these neglected children
there will be large numbers OF recruits for
the vicious and dependent classes of our
city In future years.
''It should be remembered that In this
matter inaction does not mean that the
problem is being held In allegiance. Failure
to solve 1t In a proper way is equivalent
to decision that 1t shall be solved i'm
properly. for the children who are not being
educated in the schools must find their
training In the streets and alleys. However
fully the community MAY realize the extent
of this evil. II Is powerless to remedy 1t
and must depend upon the action Of Con-
gress.
I'VE therefore earnestly pray that you
may give prompt attention to the bill all
ready introduced to provide remedy for
this condition of affairs in the District"
Child Labor Problem.
Apropos of the child labor problem, the
Civil Center in a similar petition to Con-
gress states that recent investigation has
shown that not only does child labor exist
in the District of Columbia, but that 1t Is
rapidly Increasing In extent. The employ
ments in which young children in this city
are engaged are as Is necessarily the case.
almost entirely occupations in which no
skill of any kind is required and In which
there Is no opportunity of learning trades
or acquiring such facility as would later
enable the child TO join the ranks of skilled
workmen and high-class employees

Mr.. Hepburn to Head Commission.
Hawaiians Want Help.

President Roosevelt talked today with a
delegation OF Hawaiians who have come here
to appear before committees of Congress to
push the interests of their country. Jonah
Kuhlo kalanianaole, the congressional
delegate. and w. o. Smith. chairman or
the citizens who have come 10 Washing
ton. were ut the head OF the delegation.
The Hawaians propose to vigorously
push the ideas proposed by President
Roosevelt in his last annual message, that
laws should be enacted setting aside for
period OF, say. twenty years, 20 per cent
of the CUSTOMS and internal revenue re-
cefpts from Hawaii as a special fund TO
be expended in the islands for educational
and public buildings. and for harbor i'm
provements and military and naval de-
lenses" The Hawaiians hope to get Con-
gress to take the same view. They say
they need much in Hawaii TO bring IL up
to a condition that equals this country and
that Congress now takes all the revenues
collected and appropriates little in return.
The President believes that strong rorti-
fcations should be erected the islands,
and thinks IL is hard to overstate the i'm
portance of this need.
Presidential Nominations.
The President today sent the following
nominations to the Senate:
Collector of customs-Myron H. McCord,
district of Arizona.
Surveyor of characterization NJ. Car
land. port of Pittsburg. Pa.
Collector of internal revenue-Grfffith 4.

Cinncinau. Dec S-Beuamy Storer. late
Ambassador to Austria. from which post
be was relieved by the President. when
asked tonight if he had anything TO say
regarding his communication to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, said:
Il decline to be interviewed on that
subject now. I have not word TO add
to what was in the dispatch to-day. /
viii say, however. that my letter was
given To the press without my knovl-
edge OF consent. and against my inclina-
ton I may say, too. that all the copies
Of the letter sent ont were clearly marked
private. and if the letter was given 10
the press from the White House, my
hands are perfectly clean I'm the matter"
When Mr.. Storer was told that press
statements had it "a personal controversy
between the President and Mr.. Storer
was about TO be made public" he laughed

have already ruined Holland. / think the
breach has already existed for a year.
Mr. StOrer intimated both in words and

clined 10 say when this would be.

Mr.. StOrer says that the foregoing
letters do not suggest any misuse of
letters by Mrs. StOrer, and certainly there
has never been any use contrary to
Mr. ROosevelts own wish. They appear

writer's fear Of public knowledge of what
he had written. The suggestion that a
President could not try to get an arch
