STORM FLAG FLYING
WEATHER BUREAUS WARNING
OF BAD WEATHER.

The black storm flag of the weather bu-
reau is flying from the high flagstaff at
Prof. Willis L. Moore's headquarters on
oath street this afternoon. The same en-
blem of wind and rain has been ordered up
at all weather stations and ports along the
Atlantic coast from Cape Hatteras to New
York city. One of the forecasters when
asked by Star reporter the meaning of
the storm warnings said there had been
reported a heavy blow with rain, on the
seaeoast just south of HatteYas.
: The disturbance is coming this way, ac-
cording to one of the weather officials
and a steady fall of rain is predicted for
tonight and probably tomorrow in Wash
ington and vicinity.
The wind at Wilmington, N. c., and other
points in the path of the storm has reached
velocitic; of nearly fifty miles an hour. Yes
sci owners at ports as far north as New
York are advised to keep their craft in har-
Dor until the combined forces of old Boreas
and Jupiter Pluvius have subsidized.

pectant ones were disappointed
Inside the Off &c sat Mr.. Sinai smiling
upon scholars and teachers alike as they

the door to get peep at the new principal,
and without exception they expressed them
selves as pleased with his appearance.

miss. .le may prove to be a fairy godfather
to us"
why he looks something like Mr.. Swart-
zell. with his Yaldyke board, remarked
another.

member whom l have not seen is Dr. At

before he became member of the school

recommended for appointment to one of the

At Eastern High School.
The lads and lassies of the Eastern High
School were lined up in front of the big
school house in force this morning when the
new principal, Mr.. w. S. Small entered the
structure to take up the active work. There
were several reasons why the scholars were
there bright and early, one. it is said. being
their desire to see the principal, who is
fresh from Jersey and size him UP, as one
OF the Eastern cIdets expressed IL.
Another reason was because it had been
whispered that the deposed principal Mr..
Mosleifn>F. F. Swartzeli, would be there at
the opening hour. this morning, accom-
panied by his attorney, prepared to dispute
the right of Superintendent Chancellor to
put him out of office. Rumor had it that
Mr.. SwartZell would enter his former Office
room on the second floor and install himself
at the desk he had SO long occupied and
defy the powers that be TO remove him, in
the meantime proceeding with the work of
the opening day, as he had done last Sep
TENDER. ...-..
In view of these reports the scholars were
on tptoe of expectancy as to the outcome
and every new arrival at the school house
was viewed with interest. AS a reporter
for The Star strobe up to the building
about twenty minutes before the opening
hour, group of high school girls gazed
at him curioCsly and one of the boys, wear
ing cadet cap, approached the newsman
and queried:
Are you a lawyer?''
Being answered in the negative the cadet
remarked that lively times were expected
upstairs in the principals office just as
soon as Mr.. SwartZeil arrived, accompanied
by his legal adviser
Hes going to put the new principal
out said rozycheeked high school girl.
Yes" replied another, that's what they
say, but l understand the police reserves
are around the corner ready to take a
hand should there be any trouble.
There won't be any trouble" remarked
a MISUNDERSTANDING lad, because Mr..
SwartZell is too much of a gentleman to
raise rough house at this time
Similar remarks continued in the groups
of scholars about the building until the
bell sounded and the lads and lasses
trooped into the school house ready to
begin the new year under a new principal
and perhaps under some new conditions.
Principal Small Busy.
On the second floor the Office of Principal
Small was crowded with scholars, teachers
and assistants. There was a scene of bus
tie as preparations were made for the in
auguration Of the scholastic year, but ever

ond police precinct. and acceding to Jack
sons request, the latter had detailed Po-
licemen Mulhall and Fortney at the school.
The only instruction the policemen had was
to make an arrest n case of a disturbance.
but Mrs. Cooper'S request for admission was
not forceful. When she saw this exhibition
of force she went away .
]. L. Love, teacher at the NJ Street
High School, who was among those sum-
marily dismissed short time ago. was also
hand at the building when school,
opened this morning and announced that
he ready for assignment. Love, who
was instructor in story under the old re-
g&ne. was not denied admission to the
school, but he stood around until late in
the morning and nothing happened. Miss
Atwood, a new appointee and niece of
member of the board of education, was in
the Office of the school ready to take up
work.
All of the excitement incident to this
state of affairs was not slow in spreading
to the whole body of school children, and
it was evident that all eyes and ears were
open in anticipation of more happenings
not the usual school program. The
scores of girls gathered in the big assem-
bly, room broke into nervous g.ggles on
slightest provocation, and boys and girls
alike scampered up and down stairs. either
with or without excuse. every corridor had
its coterie of whisper ng and wondering stur
dents. and the attempt to open the morning
exercises with singing was fiat failure.
Principal Jackson was asked whether the
order to debar Mrs. Cooper from the build
ing and to employ police assistance to that
end had been taken on his own Initiative
or by authorization of the school board
the superintendent of schools. and he not
only declined to answer, but as soon as he
learned that The Star was interested in
learning the details of the mornings events
he lost no time in seeking to close other
sources of information.
Statement by Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. A. ]. Cooper, former principal of the
NJ Street High School, when seen by Star
reporter at her home, 1905 18th street north
west, this afternoon, stated that she went
to the VI street school this morning with the
intention of taking her position as principal
of the school, apd that she was net at the
door of the school by the janitor, who in
formed her that he had been instructed by
Mr. Jackson, the new principal not to al
low her to enter the building, and also that
he said two policemen had been stationed
across the street to see that the order wars
carried out. She said she then called sew
eral witnesses SO that they could be present
when the janitOr refused to allow her TO
enter tie building and perform her duties
as principal of the school, She contends
that the schoof board had no risnt to re-
move her.
Mrs. Cooper says that when she APP
pointed principal of the NJ Street High
School in December, 1901. there was no
teacher in the school that had strong
claim for the position as she had.

Changes in Currents.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
TOXIC. September 1.-THE steamship
Empress of. China, which arrived at Yoko-
hama yesterday, reports that considerable
changes have taken place in Pacific Ocean
currents. This is regarded as accounting
for the recent stranding of the Mongolia
sister ship Manchuria, and of the United
States transport Sherman. 1t also agrees
with the Kobe observatory report of a
great earthquake in mid-Pacific. which
preceded the CONFUSION at Valparaiso by
several hours, and is believed to have made
important changes in the bed of the ocean.

His reply was:

in such a closely centralized school system
as this.
Attendance at Eastern.
Principal Small of the Eastern High
School stated today that he is unable to-
make a comparative statement of attend
ance but will perhaps be able to do SO
soon. He says there are four rooms in the
Eastern High School given up to the over
flow from the Business School.
He was unable to state what the effect
will be of the boards order requiring GER
tain pupils passing out of the eighth grade
from other schools to attend the eastern
school this year. The total attendance
this year is $50, of which number 100
are new pupils.
Mr.. Keene Declines.
Mr.. ]. r. Keene, supervising principal of
the 7th division under the old regime, was
seen by a Star reporter at his home, Shep-
herd road, Brightwood, this morning. and
stated that he had not gone to the Bright
wood school this morning to take the posi-
ton he had previously held, as 1t was ru-
mored he would. In speaking of his re-
moval from the Office of supervising princi-
pal of the It'll district, DR.. Keene said he
until he received letter from the school
board advising him of his transfer from
that office to that of principal of the Pet
worth school, which position, he states, he
declines to accept.
Mr.. Keene further said he had not been
advised to resign, and had not been able to
secure an interview to defend his rights
against the dismissal from the supervisor
ship. He said when he went to the Frank
removal from the supervising principalship.
he received none, and when he asked If
there were any charges against him he was
answered in the negative.
Mr.. Keene stated that he had heard a ru-
NOR circulated among parties outside of the
school board that younger man was
wanted for the position he held In this
connection he said the board offered him
the prncpalship of the Petworth school in
the division over which he had presided. He
contends that the position of principal Is
equally as hard to fill as that of supervisor,
and therefore does not see why the change
was made. He says, further, he has been
connected with the public schools of the
District for the past forty years, and that
ferred against him or of his supervision of
the district.
The school term at the Western High
School opened this morning at O'Clock
with a large attendance. Miss Westcott
principal of the school,, stated that a great
deal of the enrolment of the upper classes
had been finished this morning, and that by
tomorrow the classes would be down to
work. The classes that had been enrolled
this morning were dismissed at II O'Clock
noon so that the firstyear students could
be looked after.

OFF DAY IN THE
STOCK MARKET
Prices Yielding Weakly at the
Close, Which Was at the
Lowest Notch.

New York June 2S.-Nothing was left
today of the show of strength in yes
teTdays stock market. and prices yielded
weakly to the closing, which was at the
lowest OF the DAY, with the declining ten
dency in full force and at losses running
from l to more than points for leading
speculative favOrites There was a mo-
montary disposition to buy stocks for the
purpose of covering shorts about the
time of the appearance OF the favorable
bank statement, but selling orders came
into the market with increased volume Ia
the attempt TO realize on the bank state
ment and prices were carried sharply
downward throughout the list The an
nouncement Of the programme of the
administration at Washington for the
prosecution of the Standard Oil COM
pany was advanced as the motive for
the selling.

o The weeks stock market has been eX-
trcmely irregular and the many wide
fluctuations in prices have kept SpeCula-
tive sentiment confused and irregular.
An upward movement OF prices found a

the result of the downward course of the
preceding week. Notable strength was
caused for time by this combination of
influences. The fact then became ap-
parent that large selling was being done

and character had the effect Of intimidat-
ing the buyers. The consequence was a
sharp reaction and sudden drop Of some
prominent stocks TO the lowest prices of
the year.
There is growing realization Of the
Importance OF all measures which prom
Use relief for the money markets during
the pressure Of crop moving period in the
fall. The index Of this condition is the
strong demand and the high rates for
time loans for periods Of seven months
and upward, carrying over the end Of the
year. Active demand and small offerings
for those periods have carried the in
terest rate this week to 81 per cent,
with the market still strong. The mar
ket responded vigorously to the break

these considerations do not relegate from
