DEFENDS PUBLIC SCHOOL.
District Official Declares They Serve
as Models for other Cities.

The plan advocated by Superintendent
Chancellor for consolidating the schools
Of the city does not meet with the unani-
nous Endorsement Of the District Off
cIais. One who for a number Of years
has followed closely the construction Of
school buildings said:
The question of the consolidation Of
the school system in Washington pre-
sents many sides. and is in my opinion
one that requires serious consideration
before its adoption.
The cost is one thing TO be consid-
cred, and, in my judgment, to adopt the
proposed plan would be false ec0non,.
Washington schools are perhaps not the
finest in the country, but considering the
cost of their erection they are as good.
if not better, than those of any city of
the United States The schools Of Bos-
ton. for instance, are erected at a cost
Of - cents a cubic foot. while those of
Washington cost but half that sum.
The system of school buildings in
Washington has been regarded as a mod
el throughout the country. and many
school boards have patterned after it.
The plumbing in our schools is Of the
highest standard. and much of the plumb
ing apparatus invented by District Off
cials has been adopted by the school
boards Of New York, Philadelphia. Balti-
more. and many other large cities.
The situations that exist here are not
similar to those Of a more Northern eli
mate. Dr. Chancellor has recommended
that light and air be admitted only from
one side Of a room As the schools do
not close until the latter part Of June.
this recommendation, if adopted. would
result IN discomfort to the children and
teachers, and make ventilation impossi-

AETNA BANKERS ARE INDICTED
Grand Jury Charges Conspiracy in
Separate Counts.
John T. HOag Accused Of False Pre-
tenses-uIegaI Incorporation of
Companies Chief Allegation.

Abner B. Clements, former cashier Of
the Aetna Banking and Trust Company.
Of Butte, Mont; John T. Hoas. assistant
cashier Of the same institution, and in
charge Of its Washington branch. and
EyeIeth ". Mccormick, Of this city, were
yesterday indicted by the grand jury for
conspiracy. Mccormick entered a plea Of
net guilty. with the privilege TO withdraw
the plea and enter a demurrer in thirty
days
\ separate Indictment was also returned
against Mr.. Hoag, for false pretenses.
The conspiracy indictment is in two
counts, one, charging conspiracy to de-
fraud. the other by unlawfully procuring
in the District Of Columbia charters for
corporations. and the other for con-
spIracy to commit the crime of obtain
ing charters from the United States by
false pretenses. Under the law in force
in the District of Columbia March =, 1905.
it IS charged corporations could not b
organized under the District laws until
T. per cent of the capital stock of the
proposed corporation had been paid in
cash into the hands of the first board of
trustees Of the company. The scheme
charged in the indictment is that, when
ever Mccormick. who, it is alleged. was
engaged in the business of organizing cor
PCrations desired 20 file with the re-
corder of deeds q certificate Of orgaaiza-
tion of any company, and il became nee
esSary for him 10 prove TO the recorder
that 10 per cent of the capital stock had
been actually paid. Hoag. the assistant
cashier Of the Aetna Banking and Trust
Company, would give Mccormick an al
legged false certificate that there was then
on deposit with the bank a sum equal TO
H. per cent of the capital stock Of the
proposed company. and that Mccormick
would exhibit the certificate of the deposit
20 the recorder Of deeds as evidence that
the provision of the law had been com
Piled with when, it is alleged, as matter
OF fact, no money had 0een deposited by
Mccormick or his associates.
Among the overt acts set forth are
letters from Hoag and Mccormick To
Clements. and from the latter to HoaG
which embody the alleged scheme said
to have been formed by the defendants.

TRIP Prosperous.
Editor Washington Herald;
A news item in The Herald for Sun
day had a headline that might give a
wrong impression. The item referred 70
was in regard to an acquittal of a muir
derer in Roumania, and the headline inn
Piled that he was acquitted because the
man killed had invented a labor-saving
device with the inference that ingenuity
ana progress are at a discount in Rou-
mania
l know nothing Of the merits of the
case in question. but I am fairly well ac-
quainted with this progressive country
and its energetic people, and can say that
I'm no country in Europe is there a greater
appreciation of genius, skill, and enter
prise than in this part of the Balkan
peninsula American machinery Is widely
used. and our manufacturers are glad to
send their machinery to Roun1ana. be-
cause they know that it Will be skillfuly
handled and bring credit 10 the maker.
1t is we'll known TO all exporters that the
R0umanian is by nature a mechanic, and
looks with favor upon every ingenious de-
vice that he finds. Moreover labor is not
so plentiful that any fear is felt that
work can lose its value by the introduce
ti0n Of machinery. The country is pros
porous. the people are happy, and the
only cloud upon their horizon Is the poor
health Of their king. J. H. GORE.

Editor Washington Herald:

The policies of Superintendent of Schools

President Roosevelt in dismissing. with

the proprietor Of the saloon was murdered
in cold blood. The county officers held the

trying to find the culprit. but mum was
the word among the whole trainload. and
the guilty one escaped.

DIR. William z. Chancellor. Superlnten-
dent of public instruction for the District
of Columbia, will not leave the city to-
day on his trip of inspection of certain
institutions of learning for colOred people
in the South
This change in DR.. Chancellor's plans
is due to a letter which he received yes
terday from Booker T. Washington, in
which the negro educator wrote that he
had been advised by the newspapers Of
DR.. Chancellor's intended trip, and wished
very much to meet him in person; but
that he DR.. Washington would not be at
Tuskegee until after December /, and
hoped that DR.. Chancellor would defer
his visit to that institution until after
that date.
My original permit gave me the liberty
of making the trip between November 10
and December 10" said Dr. Chancellor
yesterday. and I can still make it be
tween those dates, even though I do not
start as soon as / had anticipated. Al
any rate" he added, i viii not eat my
Thanksgiving dinner in Washington
The institutions which DIR. Chancellor IS
to visit are Tuskegee, Fiske University AZ
Nashville. Tenn; Hampton, and the
Atlanta University. In connection with
the last named he Will also inspect the
Calhoun Institution. which is sort Of
academicaI preparatory school for At
lanta University.
Told Expense Account Is Allowed.
DR.. Chancellor reiterated yesterday his
remarks of the day before concerning
the expenses of the contemplated trip
NY secretary has been notified by tele-
phone l believe" said he. that the
Commissioners will pay my transporta-
ton and allow me five dollars a day eN-
penses; but that offer has not been givel
me in writing. However. I shall make the
tour even though I have 10 pay my own
expenses. 1 have never before received
such treatment during my career as d
superintendent of education.
Yesterday the superintendent visited the
Mckinley school and its branches. the
business High school. the Central High
School. and the Western High School
and expressed himself as highly pleased
with his inspection He praised the
Western highly. OF the Central he said;
q think Central High School would
make an excellent grammar school Mind
you ! am not criticising the work ac-
complished there; / am speaking Of the
building itself I don't think that il, and
particularly the basement. is a proper
building for the accommodation Of eleven
hundred boys and girls.
4 was not favorably impressed with
the site of the building, either" he con-
tinued A high school should be of i'm
pressive architectural appearance, and
should occupy a commanding location,
and from what I can gather. 1 believe
the citizens Of the District are of like
mind"
Dr. Chancellor also spoke highly OF the
teachers whom he met. and whose work
he Witnessed in the high schools. Since the
/ opening OF the winter term he has visited
about seventy-five Of the schools of the
District. and viii continue his personal
I inspection when he returns from his

Having collected about twenty-five
pounds Of flannel rags and having dyed

these must be neatly sewed together,
overlapping about half an inch, so that
the joining is strong. Now procure q
length Of clothesline rope and COM

stitch of double crochet is used to cover
the rope with the crocheted flannel.
AS you 60 along the crochet is inserted
into the previous row, so that the circle
grows with every pull of the needle
In using two colors the paler shade
should be used until the circle is about
a foot across Then use the darker
shade until you have gone FIVE times
around the rug. Return again to the
paler color, repeating the alternate
eolors until the flannel Is all used up
or the rug is the desired size, leaving
the darker shade at the edge Of the
rug
These rugs are economical to make
and are very quickly done and are
among the most desirable Of any Of the
homemade rugs, as the rope makes such
