Oppose Changing Name
Of Douglass Street

The District Commissioners have filed
with the Senate Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia an unfavorable re-
port on Senate bill. No. 426s. changing
the name Of Douglass street to Clifton
street Petitions signed by practically
all the property owners on Douglass
street favoring the change were sub
mitted with the bill when 1t was intro
duced.
In their report on the measure the
Commissioners claim that to change The
name would destroy the system of nom
enclature adopted. If it is desirable that
Chfton and Douglass streets have the
same name, they suggest that Clifton he
changed to Douglass The property own
ers claim that they do not desire to
nave the streets known by the one name
but tnat they do desire to get rid of the
name of Douglass
Douglass street was formerly known
as Yelling place.
one OF the objects the Commissioners
eialm TO have kept in view when thew
changed the names of certain streets in
the District last year was not TO change
existing names when they did not inter
Iere with the adoption of the new svs-
TEN.
In view Of the fact" their renort
cites. that the change proposed bv the
Dill was not to give back to Douglass
street It's ola name, but to give it an en-
IlreIy new one, would cause additional
CONFUSION, they recommended an unfav-
orable report"

BeiLg Held for Grand jury

A set of small collar buttons caused
the downfall OF Henry Ransom. who
was given a preliminary hearing in the
United States branch Of the Police
Court THIS morning an a charge Of
housebreaking and was held In S1 90

II is alleged by the police that on
the third Of this month Ransom broke
into the restaurant of Lewis w. VIII
liams at 1873 Seventh street southeast
and stole a gold watch and chain val
ued at $50 and 80 in money.
Detective Smith, who was assigned to
the case, found on the floor d pair of
collar buttons that We're supposed to be
the property Of the housebreaker.
Accordingly Williams was given In
structions to ask all Of his customers
if they had lost any collar buttons All
who were asked knew nothing Of the
buttons until Henry Ransom came in
and said they were his. He exhibited
the third one of the set in his collar
TO prove his assertion. Williams gave
him the buttons ana then notified De-
tective Smith.
The arrest OF Ransom followed on
last Friday evening. The watch was
found to have been sold by him to
George Green for 81. Green pawned
the watch, but when told that it Was

of Education is working about as eff

no objection to striking of the compen-
sation for members Of the board. He
called attention 30 the fact that the
system here OF administering the white

sarily expensive.
The great difficulty" he said lis the
poor pay available for the local teach
ers. Now, we increase their pay by
promoting them from one grade to an
other This is the only way it can be
done at present This is unsa Cisfac-
tory, because il is often unwise to pro-
mote teacher from the grade in which
she is efficient. She may net be so eff
ficient, for instance, in the fourth
grade as she was in the third. There
fore. we ought to have & way to in
crease pay without change of grade
necessarily. This opportunity is Of
fered by the Babcock bill, which is the
Commissioners bill
DR.. Needham then explained that
this bill provides for the grouping OF

thought this would enable the board

their pay start at $1,000 as the lowest
figure.

good material for high school teach
ers for $500"
A T Stuart. superintendent of
schools, said he took it for granted
that the appearance of requests for
better pay Tor teachers in all the
pending bills strengthened the as
sumption that the larger pay should
be allowed by Congress. He COM
planned that in recent years the Dis
triCt has lost many of its best teach

said, "a supervisor of the graded

sour great trouble is not so much
that we pay small salaries in the be-

prospect TO induce people 20 enter the
service and stay in it. In the six
teen largest cities III the country.
Washington stands lowest in the salary
paid TO the high school principal, and
to the high school teacher.
1T is a fact that Washington has a
larger number of teachers. in proper
