cox WARNS REPUBLICANS.
Says They Must Not Mix Politics in
Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, May 4-National and
municipal politics must not conflict, ac-
cording to the advice given yesterday by
George B. Cox, whose retirement as Ham,
ilton county leader was announced more
than year ago after several years Of
successful leadership. Mr.. Cox said.
I'm the coming municipal election the
Taft-Foraker fight must have no part. Ii
it does, it might mean the defeat of the
republican party. Separate the two issues;
settle the one before taking up the other"
Mr.. Cox said he was simply expressing
his opinion as a citizen on the situation
that it did not mean his return into ac-
tive politics He declared that it seemed
to him that the party is facing an entirely
new problem never before in the his
tory of the party has Ohio had two presi-
Dental candidates, and this situation calls
for the splitting of issues.
1--WE have mayor to elect. My idea is
that we ought to get this off our hands
before taking up the national proposition.
If we try to carry both along at the same
time, we may cause the defeat of the re-
publican party in the municipal election.
ment, we unite the municipal and national
issues Here is Taft or Foraker. Sup
pose now, the Hamilton county organize
ton indorses Mr.. Taft, the probab lily Is
the Foraker bunch would bolt and the
municipal election might be lost for the
sake of something that can be done as well
by different method
1.-THE only way to carry out both sue
cessfully is to get the city election Off our
hands. Then we can take up the other
who is who-Taft or Foraker-and the re-
publican convention at a later date can
pass upon the candidate and indorse him
for the support of the party"

The photograph of the old frame house at
the northwest corner Of 9th street and
Grant place, the home of the late William
Calf, that appeared in The Star yesterday
with its accompanying statement to the
effect that the property had been sold for
$4,000, was misleading to those who had
not seen the previous announcement in The
Star Of the sale of the property for the
price mentioned.
The transaction, however, did not include
the entire frontage on 9th street, but only
the forty feet front, with the depth of the
lot of ITO feet which is at the corner or
ance of the frontage Is about equal to the
part sold. AS the dividing line between
what was sold and the remainder comes
within the southern side of the house, 1t
will be necessary to remove the old struct-
ure in order to make the space available
for the business building which is planned
to be erected on the corner.
A lot on the north side of K street be-
tween 18th and 18th streets and a short
distance east of 18th street has been sold
by j. Augustus Taylor, real estate broker
for DIR. Collins. The price paid was sill Goo
The lot has a frontage of twenty EIGHT feet
and a depth of 148 feet, with a thirty-foot
west side. The total area is about 400
square feet, and the price per square foot
was about $3.50. The purchaser is Herbert
A. Gill.
Mr.. Taylor has also sold the three-story
brick house, 1919 F street northwest, in

ART IN THE SOUTH.
Lecture by James B. Townsend Be-
fore National Society.

An interesting and enlightening lecture on
art in the South was given by Mr.. James
B. Townsend of New York at a special
meeting of the National Society Of the Fine
Arts. last Friday evening, in the assembly
hall of the Cosmos Club. Reviewing the
conditions past and present and telling in
delightful fashion of the adventures of a
travelling exhibition in the south, Mr..
Townsend demonstrated the barrenness of
the field and the possibilities Of develop
ment. Telling of the wealth of the south in
portraits by the great early American paint
ers he urged the establishment of a por-
trait gallery-like that of England-in con-
nection with our national gallery, and ex
pressed the hope that through the gener-
osity of the owners some of the best exist
ing examples would eventually find here
permanent home. Mr.. Townsend told
frankly of the difficulties which retarded
the widening Of art knowledge in the
south. but he spoke optimstically, and left
his audience assured of the fertility of the
field, as well as conscious of the fact that
already there were signs of an awakening.
Mr.. Townsend was the director of the art
exhibit at the Charleston exposition, and Is
the editor of the American Art News, the
publishers of which have sent out, under
his supervision, an excellent little exhibition
Of contemporary American paintings to sew
eral of the largest southern cities during the
past winter.

POLITICS NOT THE TOPIC
SECRETARY TAFT AND GOV.
DINEEN IN CONFERENCE.
Former May Make Known His 1nten-
tons in, Speech in Okla
homa June g.

Governor Dineen of Illinois and Secre-
tary Taft engaged in conference today,
following hearing on the Chicago drain
age canal project, that is likely to be ac-
credited as having political significance.
1t will be recalled that on a recent visit
Of Gov. pineen to consult the President at
the White House the Secretary of War was
called in merely to meet the governor,
1t was said. The story was brought out
then that the governor was asked to take
up the management of the Taft campaign
in Illinois, and possibly become the IA
vorite-son candidate in the state with a
view to delivering the delegation to Secre-
tary Taft at the opportune moment. The
story was denied at the time, but it was
called to the attention of both the Secre-
airy and the governor today. Both denied
that they had been considering political
issues today and laughingly> declared that
broad questions Of statesmensnlp weIe
all that had engaged their attention The
interview was cut short by call from the
White House for Secretary Taft to go
there and confer with the President.
May Break Political Silence.
Secretary Taft, 1t is expected, will break
his political silence for the first time since
he has been regarded as a receptive candl-
date for the republican nomination for the
presidency in a speech which he probably
will deliver at Tulsa Oklahoma, June 9, on
the occasion of the assembling of the first
republican state convention. The Secretary
has accepted an invitation to attend that
convention. 1t Is not specifically stated
that he Is to make speech them but IT Is
not doubted that he will do so II requested,
nor Is 1t likely that the republicans OF the
new state will fail to extend the necessary
invitation. In Secretary Taft's opinion, the
political campaign in Oklahoma will be a
hot one, and probably will determine for a
number of years to come the political COM
pleXion of the new state. The issues pre-
scented are expected to be national in char
acter, and 1t may be possible that Secre-
tary Taft can find much to say to the peo-
that will interest them in general republic
can principles without in any way bring
ing in the personal equation.
Taft's Western Trip.
This VISIT to Tulsa will be only an Incl
dent in considerable western trip which
Secretary Taft is about to take He proba-
bly, will discuss economic subjects at the
millers' convention at st. Louis on the 30th
inst, which naturally would involve allu-
sions to the effect of the completion of the
Panama canal upon the important Amer
lean flour export trade with the orient and
the west coast of South America.
After his Oklahoma visit the secretary Is
going to make an official tour of inspection
of the great military posts so that he will
be in position to renew his efforts with Con-
gress at the next session in behalf of the
creation of great brigade posts and con-
centration camps, with a more comprehen-
sive knowledge of the subject than he had
when this project was first preached last
year.

CAPTURED AFTER LONG CHASE.
Alleged Murderer Of Two Farmers ane
Woman-Complete Confession.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, May 4.-Charles
H. Rogers, who is charged with the muir
der of the two Olney brothers, aged, pros
porous farmers here, and Alice Ingerick,
who lived on the Olney farm, was brought

Hint to Travellers.

Those who are about to start on Jour-
ney, whether by land or sea, are advised to
take along supply of Moxie. Drink it
whenever thirsty and feel the result of its
rvesustaining properties. Drinkers of
Moxie sleep better and eat better, 1t is
claimed, and have clear heads and steady
nerves. Moxie, it is also declared, will OBJ
viate the danger arising from impurities in
drinking water, the sources of which may
be doubtful and sea travellers who use 1t
are less liable to seasickness.

OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
DECISION AFFECTING PAYMENT
OF THEIR SALARIES.
Promotions Become Effective at End
Of School Year Without
Action by Board.

An important decision affecting the sal
aries of public school teachers in the Dis
trict has been rendered by Stuart Nc
Namara, assistant United States attorney
and special counsel for the board of educa
ton.
The promotions provided for in public act
254, Mr.. Mcnamara says, become effective
at the end of the current school year with
out any action on the part of the board Of
education, provided the record of the
teacher has been satisfactory.
The following letter. was written by At
torney Mcnamara to Superintendent Chan
cellor May /:
Il am requested by Mr.. Hughes, assistant
superintendent of schools, to advise you
whether the public act No. 254 shall be in
terpreted. IN SO far as it provides for the
promotion of teachers at the close of the
current year, as requiring that every teach
er must be formally promoted by the
board of education to the next higher sal
airy in his class, subject to the condition
that his work is satisfactory; or inter-
preting the act as operating of itself to
afford the teacher the next higher salary in
his class without action of the board, I'M
less the board formally withholds the pro-
motion because the teachers work may
be deemed unsatisfactory.
Without Action by Board.
II am of the opinion that under the pro-
visions of section of the act "a teacher
shall receive the next higher salary in his
class after June 30, 1907, without any action
of the board Of education, provided, of
course, his work is satisfactory, and that
he is not formally withheld from such in
crease by reason of his work being I'M
satisfactory. If he has been already pro-
NOTED within his class or group, he shall
not receive another promotion within one
year. 1t might he well, however, to notify
the teachers Of their advance.
"If it be desired to promote a teacher
from one class to another, it would then be
required that such promotion be effected
upon the recommendation of the officer hav-
ing the direct supervision Of the teacher and
the action of the board of education. Such
recommendation must be, in each case, ap-
proved by the superintendent of schools.
"A promotion Of a teacher for suprior
work from group to group Of class 6
may be made only after oral and written
examinations by the board Of examiners. as
provided in section G..
