BRANCH STATIONS.
Telegrams Can Be Sent from Various
 Sections of City.

 Sections of City.
 The Western Union Telegraph Co to-day started system known as the branch telephone system by which telegrams can be sent from various drug stores in the city. It is nothing more than sub-station where blanks and other incidentals needed for sending telegrams are on hand. The sender writes the message, which is telephoned from the drug store to the main office, where the ticker does the rest. It should be greatly ap- preciated by the public, as it will save considerable walking and per sons living far from the center will in all probability find the service very convenient
 Michael Bowler, manager of the local branch of the Western Union, has been completing plans for the suD stations In this city and received word yesterday to start them in op- eration to-day.
 The service started to-day in Dex- ter's. Walkers drug store in Brook lyp, the Buckingham. McLinden Bros in .he north end. and Hungerford' s in Oakville. More may be added later.

ICE DEALER COMPLAINS.
Thinks Meat, Coal and Grocery Man
 Get on Easy.

Charles B. Everitt. secretary and treasurer of the Waterbury Ice cor poration, Is highly indignant because of the manner in which the newspa- pers have been roasting his concern, and says he sees no reason why the company should be hammered so un- mercifully. especially when in his opinion there Is no cause for com plaint. He is of the impression that the papers should now turn their at tention to other than ice dealers and declares that it is all bosh about any trust, that is, ice trust. existing in this city.
 The papers have had much read ing matter at the expense of the Wa terbury Ice corporation because of the price of ice last summer. the peo- pie in general thinking that this con- cern was mainly responsible for last summers price of ice.
 Mir Everitt cannot understand why coal dealers. grocers, the meat men. in fact. all other merchants. are not in the limalight as much as the Wa terbury Ice corporation, as according to him they carry on their business in the same way.
 Why the papers do not hit at any other ice concern other than ours, while there are numerous dealers in the city who are disposing of quan- tity of ice that is surprising, amazes me-" he said They are talking about our jumping the price of ice. but we had to. Gle did not smile when he said this.) It is ridiculous when it is claimed that we made more money last summer than we would have had there been a goodly supply of ice the previous winter. We would much prefer to sell a large amount of ice at a small price than a small quantity at price which would make the people holler. If the other stockholders were willing l would be only too eager to turn the plant over to the city and allow them to have all money made after per cert had been given the stockholders on the money invested. I would be desirous of trying the scheme for a year. I an tired of hearing of the thousands of dollars made by the Waterbury Ice corporation"
 In conclusion Mir Everitt stated that he thought there would be plen- ty of Ice next summer.

NEW BUILDING WANTED.
Congress Will Be Asked to House
State Department Separately.

Secretary Root and Secretary Metcalf
have combined forces to obtain from Con-
gress at the approaching session an ap-
preparation for a new building for tho
State Department. which, If provided.
would enable the Navy Department to
acquire some of the space which would
be thus vacated in the present combined
building. 1t is the purpose to have sub
committees of the Senate and the House
committees on public buildings visit in
person the two departments to ascertain
by inspection the congested conditions
which prevent the employment OF the
present force to the best advantage and
endangers the health of the clerks
The fact that the item for a new
building for the State Department, the
Department of Justice and the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. south of
Pennsylvania avenue and east of 18th
street. failed at the last session without
regard to its merits, encourages the two

ed him something that Is not hts BY
right. In other words. the board was noe
compelled to try the Chancellor case pre-
vious to taking action.
The sub-committee's report. which will
be published later says that no tribunal
other than the board Of education has
the power or jurisdiction to try the su-
perintendent of schools II q trial IL re-
quired by the act. or to remove the su-
it has exercised the discretion committed
to it by the act, in legitimate way,
there is no other tribunal which can up
set its judgment.
That the superintendent or schools ls
not entitled under the act to a trial at
all. as a matter of right. at tthe hands
of the board of education.
THAT the act evinces a careful inten-
ton Of extending all such protection to
employees Of the system as can be wisely
tration of the system. and that its pro-
visions as to trials should not be ex-
tended beyond employees whose main duty.
II not entire duty, is to actually teach
the various classes Of Children
The subcommittee cites the school law
concerning the power Of the board to
remove the superintendent, and calls at
tention to the fact that there is no pro-
vision for an appeal. The bulk Of the
second conclusion of the committee, that
the superintendent Is not entitled to q
trial. and decisions of various courts are
quoted in support Of the finding.
The subcommittee holds that in the ex-
ercise Of the discretion Of the board upon
the question Of what is adequate cause
affecting the character. and efficiency Of
the superintendent the courts cannot in
terfere, nor can they upset the conclu-
sions of the board.
The report concludes as follows:
cit Is hardly necessary for US to add
that the foregoing conclusions have been
reached by us without regard to the
merits Of the pending controversy be-
tween the board of education and the
superintendent Of schools"
The members of the committee on
schools are: Perceval M. Brown, chair

CANAL ZONE ATTRACTIVE.
More Apply for Positions There
Than Are Needed.

discourage vigorously any applicants
for work coming to the isthmus without
appointment. All positions filled and no
increase contemplated. Unemployed men
without funds source of embarrassment"
The above dispatch from Chief Engineer
Goethais of the Panama canal commission
has been received at the Washington
Offices. Applications for work on the
isthmus are coming in at the commits
sion's Offices at the rate of three hundred
day, an increase Of probably 80 per cent
in the last month. These are due. the
officials here think, to the curtailing of
various enterprises in the United States
and the more settled and comfortable and
healthy conditions which now obtain on
the isthmus. An estimate is made that
at this time 30 per cent of the employees
engaged by the commission at the 18TH
mus are permanent, as compared with a
percentage of approximately 40 per cent
In that class some time ago. Men are
more content to remain on the isthrus
than they were formerly" said an OFF,
cial Of the commission today. due to the
fact that wages are better there than Il!
the United States and to the general i'm
provement in conditions which have taken
place"

Is the rest cure said James j. Hill, who

go to sleep Tor a good long time and wake
up with both eyes open. The country has
been suffering from mistrust. While
there is an easing in the mercantile credit
situation, the people who have money
are holding onto it and giving checks in

Nobody wants to let the money go.
The merchants hate such a situation. 1t

were on just after the civil war. We

Must Learn Portuguese.

ports in a recent dispatch that there is a
law in Mozambique which provides that
in all the schools of the province instruc-
ton must be given in the Portuguese lam
guage The governor general will soon
publish a decree calling attention to this
law and giving all missionaries teaching
in schools six months In which to qualify

A missionary who really makes an effort
to learn this language and does not sue

considerate treatment.
The consul also states that only those
physicians who have received a medical
degree in Portugal can practice their pro-
