Simmonds, Lucy G. Lynch, Felix F. Weir
and Leota F. Henson. OF these, Miss Amy
Simmonds, formerly grade teacher, was

Sone discussion was called forth by the
fact that the recent regulation recurring
teachers of music to have degree of train
ing equivalent to a high school education
has caused the loss of some of the most
successful teachers Of music in the service
The board decided, however, to maintain
the educational requirement

Poor Mail Service.

To the Editor of The Star:
Is 1t not strange that with all our boosted
progress in this country here in the capital
of the United States we have postal serv-
ice that would not be tolerated in coun-
try town? l refer to the fact that we OF
the north and southeastern portions OF
Washington only get one mail day. We
are supposed to get two but as man is
only allowed to make eight hours a day,
and as 1t takes from six to six and one
half hours to make the round. 1t can easily
be seen that a man cannot. do In an hour
and q half what 1t takes six hours and a
half to do; SO part of these people get two
trips and others only one Another bad
feature is that If you don't come to your
door the instant the carrier rings he will
stick the letter under the door or into the
window, and sometimes 1t gets under
the carpet. The mail men say they only
have such a little time to make a trip that
they cannot wait for people to answer the

lishment of market in the building at
18th and Park streets northwest, now used
as car barn by the Capital Traction Com
pany, which were noted in The Star at the
time of their receipt at the District build

missioner Harding yesterday afternoon that
residents of the locality named need have
no fear Of having the market place in their
midst If they can muster strength enough
among themselves to smother the project.
In explanation the Commissioner said that
section 10 of the building regulations re-
quires the written consent Of owners of

DIES OF INJURIES.
Clyde F. Glasscock, Railway Brake.
man, Meets With Fatal Accident

Clyde F. Glasscock, twenty seven years
old, who was employed as brakeman on
the Pennsylvania railroad, was accidentally
injured by his head coming in contact with
bridge while walking on the top of a
freight car last night and died soon after
ward He was found lying on the car when
the train reached Bowie about o'clock,
and was unconscious, his skull having been
crushed. He was hurried toward this city
for the purpose of having him placed In a
hospital, but his death occurred about the
time the train reached Benning and his
body was removed to the morgue.
When the body reached the morgue a card
was found in the pocket Of his coat upon
which he had written a request that Mrs
A. L: Glasscock of Wildwood, Va, be noti-
fed In case an accident should befall him
or of his death. Capt. Boardman sent a
message to her last night telling her of the
death of the young man.
It Is thought that Glasscock received the
fatal injury shortly after the train left Bal
timore, the accident being caused by his
failure to lower his head just before the
train reached an overhead bridge. His body
was turned over to an undertaken after the
coroner had given the necessary death GER
tMcate and will be sent to his late home in
Virginia for interment

GOODS A TOTAL LOSS
FIRE DESTROYS STOCK BELONG
ING TO JOSEPH HERzoa.

Fire destroyed the stock of goods in the
dry goods store of Joseph Herzog, 1912 1th
street northwest, causing loss Of $4,000.
The building, the property of Henry kra-
ner, was damaged to the extent of about
So 600. The building and stock were IN
sured. but Mr.. Herzog did not carry enough
to cover his loss. Shortly after $50 o'clock
last night blaze was discovered in the
store and the fire department received call
at once. Many of the stores along that part
of 7th street were closing for the night and
hundreds of clerks and others were attract
ed to the scene. The police reserves from
the second precinct reached the building
shortly after the alarm was sounded and
kept back the crowd of spectators.
1t is believed by Mr.. Herzog that the fire
resulted from the use of match by the
last customer who was in the store. That
was only a short time before the flames
were discovered. The customer purchased
some cotton, and just as he was about to
leave the store he used a match for the pur-
pose of lighting his cigar. Mr.. Herzog
closed the door and locked 1t when he had
finished waiting upon the customer and left
the store Immediately afterward, the menu
bers of his family having left their apart
ments over the store earlier in the evening
and gone calling.
Probable Origin of Blaze.
near where Mr.. Herzog had waited upon the
last customer, and probably in pile of cot
ton. In a few minutes the store was ablaze
and 1t was with difficulty that the flremen
entered the premises. They succeeded. how
ever. in combining the blaze to the store, but
the smoke did some little damage to the
household effects in the upper portion of the
building. The fire department officials made
an examination of the building, but were
unable to find anything to indicate the
origin of the fire except what Mr.. Herzog
told of the use of the match by the GUS
toner.
1t is Thought the loss sustained by Mr..
Herzog over the insurance he carried will
amount to about $4,000, as he carried an in
surance of only $1,000 on his stock
Small Fires.
There was a slight blaze In the stable in
the rear of the house of Mrs L. NJ Tim
mons, 2O21 14th street northwest yesterday
AFTERNOON. An alarm was sounded from box
40 and the fremen reached the stable In
time to extinguish the flames before much
Damage had been caused
