river and harbor bill of the last session of
Congress carries 100000 for the improve
ment of the Potomac river. 1t is perhaps
too much to hope that any portion of this
will be diverted to the Eastern branch for
the healing of Anacosia and St. Eliza
beth. for the benefit of jewellers in South
Washington and vicinity. In any event the
deferred completion of the work under
taken on those flats by the United States
government means increased sickness and
death In the early autumn among those
who have home here; home not of their
own seeking, nor are they held for crime,
like those whom this same miasma over
takes at the United States Jail, on the oppo-
site shore. but men who fought for their
country missing a grave on the battleeld
only to find it here. The true soldier pa
tiently endures, yet who could blame him If,
breaking his silence. he should exclaim
How long, Lord, how long?"'
This quotation. in which the doctor
speaks of the mud bars. will compare very
favorably with the conditions that exist
today on account OF the new sewer which
is built on the flats and which has abol-
ished the only outflow that existed for the
carrying off of part of the filth and sew
erage.

THE ALABAMA SENAToRSHIP.
Gov. Conner May Pass Matter UP to the
Legislature.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 13.-As the
legislature of Alabama which recessed last
March will reconvene July 9. It is not ex-
pected that Gov Conner will fill the vacancy
in the United States Senate caused by the
death of Senator John 7. Morgan last night,
but will pass the matter up to the legisla-
ture.
Under the regulations governing the DEM
ocratic primary last year, at which TWO
alternating senators. former Representative
]. H. Bankhead and former Gov. Joseph r.
Johnson were nominated, the governor was
pledged to appoint Bankhead If the first
vacancy occurred at a time when 1t would
be necessary for him to make an appoint
ment However, the legislature is not
bound to elect Bankhead, and free-for-all
race is possible, but ii Is believed by Bank
heads friends that he will be elected.
Al the primary for alternate senator last
wear Bankhead received 4S,362 votes and
Johnson, SO 1O7, emitting Bankhead to the
first vacancy by appointment and Johnson
to the second 1t is said to have been due
to an oversight on the part of the state
democratic committee which framed last
years primary that the democrats ofthe
legislature were not required to pledge
themselves to support for election to the
senate the alternate senators nominated at
the primary. Gov. Conner is known to be
opposed to Bankhead for senator but he
is bound to appoint him or keen hands off.
He will probably pursue the latter course.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Charles NJ
Schwab was positive in his denials yester-
day of the story that William Ellis Corey
alter resigning the presidency of the United
States Steel Corporation, would join the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation of which Mr.
Schwab is the head. There is no one in
the steel business" said Mr.. Schwab, for
whom l have more regard personally. Mr.
Cprey -and have been lifelong friends
never left a position which was not filled
after me by Mr.. Corey Whenever l had
to look around for successor l always
chose Mr.. Corey, and he followed me right
along up to the presidency. l would con-
slider it great advantage to have the
Bethlehem Steel Company, but such an idea
as bringing him into the company has never
entered my head. The idea is impossible.

Utilities Bill Law Suitp

NEW YORK, June 13.-The statement
was made yesterday by one of the members
of the rapid transit commission that the
ACCESSIBILITY of testing the constitutonality
of the public utilities bill was being con-
sidered If the legality of the bill is at
tackled a taxpayers suit will be brought
and the contention will be made that as
the new commission is to be appointed by
the governor and not by the elected head
of the city government the local taxpay-
ers, whose money can be spent for new
subways by the commission, have no direct
representation on the board and the act is
therefore illegal. If it is decided to fight
the bill the suit will be begun when the
new commission applies to the sinking fund
commission for an appropriation, and an
injunction will be asked for to restrain the
sinking fund commission from authorizing
the board to rent Offices at the expense, of
the city.

ON COMMON GROUND.
Anglo-American Accord on Some
Questions to BE Discussed.

LONDON, June 12.-Great Britain contin-
ues reticent in respect to the instructions
given to the British delegates to The Hague
peace conference, the efforts of members Of
parliament to draw out Foreign Secretary
Grey having failed in every instance The
liberal government since coming into office
has maintained policy of silence on all big
questions this being necessary on account
of the wide differences of opinion among
the rank and file, particularly on such sub
jects as discussing the question of the linn
itation of ornaments, the inviolability of
private property at sea, contrabrand of
war, etc 1t is understood, however, that
as a result of the negotiations Ambassador
Whitelaw Reid and Joseph H. Choate have
been carrying on the United States and
Great Britain have agreed to act in accord
on certain questions to be brought up.

SALARY QUESTION HEARING
TEACHERS APPEAR BEFORE
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Various Suggestions offered Relative
to Proposed Amendments to
the School Law.

Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey. chairman,
and Messrs. William " Cox and John +.
Cook. forming the special committee of
the Board of Education appointed TO sug-
gest amendments to the school law. gave
their last hearing to teachers on the salary
question yesterday afternoon at the Frank
lin School. The abolition of the salary
grades and equal salaries for all teachers
was the suggestion OF w. w. Black, super
vising principal of the tenth division. lie
held that the present system OF paying
lower salaries to teachers in the primary
grades makes the teachers regard these
grades as merely stepping stones to some
thing better and results in the elimination
of the more competent teachers from these
grades. This attitude. he said. prevents
teachers from doing their best work In
these grades. He insisted that the primary
work Is just as important as any in the
system, and held that some very compe-
tent teachers are peculiarly fitted for II.
Miss h. V. Brown, director OF primary
instruction, suggested that the first and
second grade schools be placed upon a
two-session basis, from . O'Clock until IL
and from l O'Clock until =, and. that the
teachers of these grades be placed upon
the same salary scale as the teachers OF
the third and fourth grades. The school
day is thus made one hour shorter for the
lower primary grades, she said. but the
extra demands upon these teachers in the
for children who use no textbooks except
reading books balances this difference in
time.
Miss Susan B. Sipe, teacher Of botany and
in charge Of school garden work asked that
the teachers of gardening be given two
months holiday in the winter instead OF the
summer, and that some provision be made
to pay them for their services At present.
she said, they are carried on the roll as la
borers.
A minimum salary of 81 O40 and a maxi
of for {yh unhA gh..rS
advocated by ]. L. Brooks. who said this
was necessary in order to keep competent
teachers il the service.
Miss A. NJ Wilson said a grave injustice
had been done the teachers of manual
training, domestic arts, drawing and music
in the present act, and asked that they be
placed in class q, group A, on par with
other high school teachers. Many. other
teachers of special subjects made similar
suggestions.
A greater increase of salary in the second
year for normal school teachers was advo-
Gated by Miss A. NJ. Cooling. principal OF
Normal School No. l.

Railroads Making Fast Time.

PITTSBURG, June 13.-The different rail-
roads extending from Pittsburg to Chicago
are now entering on a speed war, which
may result in much quicker connection be-
tween the two cities. The Vanderbilt in
terests controlling the Pfttsburg and Lake
Erie railroad. announce that beginning Sun
day a regular daily train will start from
Pittsburg on schedule which is twenty
five minutes shorter than the fastest Penn
sylvania Baltimore and Ohio or Wabash
trains to from these cities.
The Lake Erie people do this without put
ting on any extra speed. They simply have
cut that much time off stop they previous
ly made al Cleveland, where an hour was
lost in making connections. The other rail-
roads have begun to overhaul their sched-
ules. and no doubt will announce similar
cut in time, as the Lake Erie people &C
companied their cut in time with cut in
rates of 80 cents on the Chicago trip.

numbers of men in advanced life, coupled
with the insalubrity of the adjoining fats
of the Eastern branch of the Potomac, that
the higher figures of mortality are mainly
due. There has been a notable absence
of any further work on these bottoms dur
ing the past year, and one might therefore
hope for some subsistence in the growth OF
ague germs But the mischief was done
by the previous abortive interference with
nature in throwing up those mud bars,
which do not fill the flats. but stop the
currents: bars that with the ebb of each
tide rise out of the stagnant pools, green
with a Shiny growth and reeking with ma.
laria creating a land of noisome odors,
out of which come emanations fit only for
the valley of the shadow of death. The

Provide Open-Hearth Rails.

NEW YORK, June 13-The growing de-
mand for open hearth steel rails in place OF
the Bessemer rails, that until recently were
used by the railroads of this country al
most exclusively. has led to a decision on
the part of the United States Steel Corpora
ton to provide for large output of open
hearth rails Stories in circulation today,
however that the corporation vas to spend
from $4,000 900 to Sl09OO0,,O0 in substitut-
