CAUSES LITIGATION.
Trouble Over Fee in Sale of Subdivi-
sion Known as Belmont.

Litigation growing out of the sale of the
subdivision known Belmont, in Mont
gomery county, Md, was commenced today
in the District Supreme Court, when Alex
ander l.. Satterwhite brought suit to re-
cover $1.250 as half commission on the sale
against Carlton b. Hazard, the agent who
negotiated the sale for the trustees holding
the legal title to the property. Mr.. Satter-
white, by his attorneys. Wolf & Rosenberg
charges that prior to the sale of Belmont
it was agreed by Hazard that the plaintiff
should receive one-half of a commission Of
per cent on the selling price of $4,000 in
consideration of the plaintiffs securing the
purchaser
The property was sold to a party secured
by Satterwhite, it is alleged. and the trans
action closed by Hazard with the trustees,
who were not apprised of Satterw hite's
connection with the transaction.
Hazard. it is declared refused to pay the
part of the commission due Satterwhite and
assigned his commission to a third party.
The court is asked to set aside the assign
ment and declare a lien in Satterwhite' S
favor for the sum of $3.50.

SPANISH WAR VETERANS.
Pot of Politics Is Said to Be Merrily
Bubbline

The pot of politics is merrily bubbling in
Spanish War Veteran circles the time
for the annual election draws near. The
principal contest will be over the depart
ment commandership, the incumbent hav-
ing declined to stand for reelection. 1t is
said a caucus of the supporters of Capt
Edward l.. Cogan of Harden Camp will be
held this evening to boost him for the
commandership, he having been Endorsed
for the place by his camp. 1t is reported
that Past Department Adjutant G. f.
Rausch will be put forward as candidate
by Miles Camp. No. /. and that Maj. Jo-
seph Milton Heller will be named for the
honor by Lawton Camp. There is said to
be some doubt yet to whether Capt
Richmond Pearson Hobson will allow his
name to be used at this time as a candi-
date.
There were rumors today that a dark
horse" candidate may be entered against
the field. In the meantime there is con-
siderable good-natured electioneering in
progress. The vote for the department
officers this year will be much larger than
ever before, owing to a marked increase in
membership and the addition to the de-
partment of three camps outside the Dis
trict-Fitzhugh Lee Camp of Richmond,
Rowe Camp Of Fredericksburg Va, and
Farrell Camp of Wilmington, Del.

Sterilization,

CHICAGO June 1.-THE bacillus will
meet death by electrocution should a new
method of sterilization proclaimed yester-
day by DIR. Carl H. Won Klein come into

Two wires charged with positive and neg
alive currents and a metallic bowl, prefer
ably copper, are the weapons of death with
which DR.. Won Klein Stays the germs
With one Of the wires applied to the out
side of the vessel, the other resting in the
fluid it contains. he claims swift and sure
death by electrocution is meted out to the
unwelcome life therein.
sterilization by my new method" said
DR.. Won Klein, mot only kills the ordinary
germs and baccilE. but it likewise kills the
fermentive germ, and itself becomes a most
wonderful preservative. tried it on a bowl
of milk last Thursday. Here it Is, Monday,
and that milk is as sweet and pure as pos
sible."
Having satisfied himself of the effects of
electricity on milk and water, DR.. Won Klein
proposes trying 1t on fruits and vegetables
He also hopes to evolve a plan by which
copper mesh could be inserted in the
chief water mains and then by means of his
positive and negative electric currents ster-
ilize every drop Of water that passes

HEARINGS GIVEN TEACHERS
MATTER OF SALARY INCREASE IS
UNDER DISCUSSION.
Committee of Board of Education
Holding Sessions-Other Phases
of School Law.

Teachers of the public schools represent
ing classes 4. and 6, as defined by the
school law, will be given a hearing by the
special committee of the board Of educa-
ton appointed to suggest amendments to
the law at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon at
the Franklin school. Those representing
classes l. 2 and were heard yesterday at
the same hour. The last hearing for teach
ers will be held tomorrow at $50 IN, and
those not included in the classes named
will be given an opportunity to express
their views
Salaries are under discussion at this time
and if is only on that point that the COM
mittee is listening to arguments. Mrs. FL
len Spencer Mussey, chairman, said today
that the hearing tomorrow will afford the
last chance for teachers to bring their
IDEAS on the subject before the committee,
as she expects to leave the city Thursday
and the members of the committee do not
intend to E: ant personal interviews with
teachers on the question.
In addition 10 Mrs. Mussey the commit
tee includes William V. Cox and John f.
Cook
What Teachers Say.
At the hearing yesterday Miss E. r. Van
derveer, representing the model teachers,
held that the latter should have an annual
increase ot $50 or $50, instead of $50, as
ROW provided, as their hours are longer
and their work just as important as that
Of the teachers of higher grades. The in
crease asked would give the model teachers
chance to reach their maximum salary in
five years instead of in ten years. In be-
half of Ne kindergarten teachers Miss
Wllgus and Miss Alton expressed them
selves as satisfied with the provisions of
the present law.
Miss F. D. Rosendale spoke for the first
grades of the ninth division, and Miss G. E.
Church for the second grades Of the same
division. They urged that the maximum
salary Of those grades, which Is now $1OO
year, to be reached in four years by an
nual increases of $25, SHOULD be raised by
giving the teachers increases for ten years,
the same as for the higher grades. They
claimed that as matters stand now, primary
teachers who are better qualified for pri-
mary than for other work cannot be pro-
noted except by promotion to other grades.
Miss o. Wright, representing the first and
second grades of the seventh division, said
she looks forward to time when teachers
of those grades will receive as much money
as teachers of higher grades, their work,
In her opinion, was fully as important.
Must Be in Writing.
The committee requires that when a
teacher has an amendment to suggest It be
presented in writing.
Public hearings on other phases of the
later. In appointing a committee to hold
education followed a suggestion by a rep
resentative of Congress last session, during
the committee hearings on the school bill
He wanted to know why the time of con-
hearings on details, when the board of edu-
cation could just as well grant hearings
and present the will of the citizens of the
District in compact form.
