Changes in School Law.
Important Ones That Have Been
Made During the Past Year.

County Superintendent of School Went
zell is sending ont a circular letter to
announce to Boards Of Education the
amendments to the School Law. passed
at the recent session of the Legislature
which materially effect the schools of
this county. II says in part;
Retirement Fund Law, contains many
such amendments as are necessary to
and extends the time during which the
present members Of the fund or persons
10Y teaching in the State many take
advantage Of the new act.
Senate Bill 1852 amends the method of
apportioning school moneys by the adj
dition of a paragraph providing that IS
per. cent. Of the cost of transportation of
pupils to a public school outside OF the
district in which such people shall
be opportioned to the districts paying
the cost of transportation.
Senate Bill 2GS amends the School Law,
giving power to enforce a district to pay
tuition fees or transportation for pupils
when proper school facilities are not
provided.
Assembly Bill 401 amends the School
Law, changing the time for the election
OF President and Vice President of the
Board of Education to the first Monday
i'll April instead Of within ten days after
the date of the annual meeting, and
also permits a Board of Education to re-
a president or vice president who
refuses to perform a duty imposed upon
him by law; also authorizes the Board
Of Education to appoint a district clerk
and fix his salary and term Of Of
flee, and to prescribe what bond, if any,
shall be given by the clerk. The giving
OF the bond by the clerk is not manda-
tory, but it is in the discretion Of the
local board. The Board may appoint
II of its members as district clerk, if
it deems it wise to do SO but it is not
compelled to appoint a member.
In those districts which employ a SUI
pervising principal it will be a very wise
move to make him the clerk. argues an
exchange. You will thus secure in that
office the service of one who is thorough
ly conversant with the school interests
and by adding to his salary as supervis-
ing principal the salary paid the clerk
you will be making the position more
attractive will properly reward the men
we have now in those positions and will
draw a good class Of men to them when
vacancies occur. Many districts in the
State are now doing this.

FIRE AT RIVER VIEW.
Destruction Of Bar and Fixtures,
Causing $4,000 Loss.

The bar room at River View, a big frame
structure, was totally destroyed by fire Fri
day night, entailing loss of about 81 600
on which there was no insurance. The Let
ter Carriers Association of the District
gave it's annual excursion to River View
that day and over 6,0OO persons made the
trip to the resort on the steamers st. Johns,
Harry Randall and T.'V. Arrowsmith. The
last of the throng had left the grounds and
gone aboard the steamer at 1870 pm, to
come home, when the flames were seen
creeping up one corner of the structure.
the grounds and the crew of the boat made
an attempt to check the flames with fire
extinguishers. but without success.
Aided by a number of the excursionists
the stock of liquors and cigars in the build
ing was gotten out and was practically all
saved. Fortunately just about the time
the fire started a heavy rain began to fall,
and this aided the men in preventing the
spread of the flames to the other buildings
of the resort and prevented much heavier
loss. The merry-gO-round building located
a short distance away from the burned
building, was not damaged, as was stated
this morning. While the fire was at its
highest the blaze illuminated the heavens
and could be plainly seen from this city
and caused a report that all the buildings
at the resort had been burned.
The damage done was confined to the one
building and does not in any way interfere
with the many amusement features of the
resort, and the boats will make their daily
trips there as usual.

ALLEGE INFRINGEMENT
CHIEF OF ORDNANCE SUED BY
GERMAN CANNON MAKERS.

The Friedrich Krupp Aktiengesellschaft
cannon makers. yesterday filed suit in the
District. Supreme Court against William
Crozier. chief of the ordnance division of
the War Department, to enjoin him from
making or using, or causing to be made,
any guns and gun carriages covered by
letters-patent granted by the United States
patent office to the complainant
The krupp concern, which is represented
by Attorney Harry Grant Kimball of New
York, claims chat Otto LAUDER was the in
ventor of recoil brakes for guns and
wheeled guns, and that the letters-patent
covering this new invention was granted
by the United States patent Office to the
compla inant. 1t is alleged in the declara-
tlon that the articles are now manufactured
IN the. different government arSenas through
the country for the use of the government,
thereby infringing on the cQmplainant's
patent rights. They ask that Gen. Crozcr
be permanently enjoined from making, or
causing to be made, the gun carriages COW
ereo by the patent, and that he be COM
peiied to render an accounting of all prof
its.
Gen. Crozier departed yesterday for San
Francisco for the purpose of making a per-
sonal inspection of the government works
in progress at the Benicia arsenal. Col.
Russell, who Is acting chief OF ordnance,
declined yesterday to make any comment in
regard to the suit instituted by the krupp
company against Gen. CroZer for alleged
ture OF United States ordnance, saying that
he preferred to have the courts pass upon
the actual merits of the legal questions in
volved.

TEMPEST IN A TREEBoX.
Capt. Morrow Soothes the Much Agi-
tated Avenue Dwellers.

Commissioner Morrow said yesterday that
the controversy relative to trees on Penn
sylvania avenue is a case of Much Ado
About Nothing There is. he says, no fear
that the interests of the business men are to
be harmed, or that the Commissioners are
to make dense forest out of this prominent
thoroughfare. Aside from replanting
number of trees which had to be removed in
connection with the present improvements
under way on the avenue and the placing of
trees in spaces where trees formerly were
and planting a half-dozen along the north
curbing of Market space between 7th and
Sth streets there will be no additional trees
planted.
prising to note how unobserving the aver
age person is.
From the views and expressions of the
business men who have called upon me to
protest against planting trees along the
avenue one would imagine that this street
is as barren and void of foliage as a west
ern desert" he said. LAS a matter of
fact there is almost solid line of trees on
both sides Of the avenue already, and they
have been there for years, but men of in
telligence some of whom have practically
lived on the avenue, will be almost willing
to bet good money that there trees
only scattered here and there along the
avenue
when these men called on me and told
me OF the scarcity of trees l did not argue,
but told them to walk along the avenue on
their way back to their places and to look
for the trees. They did this, and when L
saw of the gentlemen later he smiled
rather sheepishly 1t is simply another
demonstration of a lack of observation. IL
may be due. however. to the fact that
Pennsylvania avenue is wider than the other
streets and the trees are not as noticeable
AM also to the fact that there are MANY
other things to attract the attention OF
pedestrians"

TRIBUTE TO DEAD VETERAN.
Military Honors to Capt. Worrel,
Father of Mrs. I, w, Ball.

Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball returned last
evening from southwestern Kansas. where
she was called by the death of her father
Capt. James Purcell Worrell, and by the
critical illness of her mother. Capt. Wor-
rel, who was a charter member of the De-
partment of Kansas, Grand Army of the
Republic was laid to rest with full mill
tary honors. The escort to the cemetery
consisted Of Company F, Kansas National
Guard. with band; B. F. Larned Post G.
A. R, and Larned Camp. Sons of Veterans
the Masonic and Odd Fellows organize
tons, of which Capt Worrell was a par
ticpaung member. Business in the town
was suspended during the funeral hours.
The brief military ceremonies were held
upon the tree-shaded lawn of the Worrell
home at Larned, and as the bugler sounded
taps the flag that Capt. Worrell raised first
to the top of the tall flag pole on his
premises years ago. assisted by his grand
children, slowly lowered by them, and
as he had requested, they wrapped it about
the casket and it was buried with him.
One week later many floral pieces were
sent to decorate the grave of Capt. Worrell,
among them being a floral badge of the
Grand Army of the Republic in natural
colors, standing four feet high. This en-
bem was sent to Mrs. Ball by the officers
and members of the Woman's Relief Corps
Department of the Potomac of which Mrs
Ball is president.
Mrs. Balls mother was much improved
in health when she left and wire received
yesterday assures her that the improve
ment continues. Mrs. Worrell had slight
stroke of paralysis last September. from
which she has never fully recovered, and
the shock of finding her husband dead,
when he looked to be sleeping utterly
Frustrated her for a time.
Capt Worrell, captain of Company B,
Seth Illinois Volunteers, was highly COM
mended in general orders for his gallantry
in action at Stone river, and among the
trophies of that battle We're sword and
sash presented him by Gen. George H.
Thomas. At Chickamauga he was again
commended for holding a point at all
hazards" Heart failure superinduced by
rheumatism contracted in the line of duty
ended his career.
At recent meeting of the department
council of the Woman's Relief Corps. De-
partment of the Potomac, auxiliary to the
G. A. r.. Mrs. Anna E. Hoagland, acting
department president, presiding, resolutions
were unanimously adopted in tribute to
Capt. Worrell.

MAGISTRATE SYSTEM.
superintendent of Police in Favor of
the Plan.

-ajor Sylvester is again taking an interest
in the question of esta blishing the magis-
trate system in this city for the trial of
cases of minor Importance. He thinks that
with such a system in operation many
prisoners would be spared the ordeal OF
being placed in cells, and it would mean
that more speedy trials would be had by
persons accused of violating the law
For several years." he says, "the super
intendent of police advocated estab-
fishing a magistrate system in the District
of Columbia in order that court might be
held at the several precinct station houses
and cases be disposed of promptly when
brought in. Also when business men were
wanted as witnesses or otherwise their
time need not be consumed waiting in
court The expedition of trials in that
wise would admit of persons not guilty
confinement in most cases, except where
crime was charged
This system has been adopted in New
York. and l was consulted about the MAJ is-
trates sitting at night. 1t is now in effect
Night trials are held. and a station exists
there without cells, and cases are disposed
of when brought in by the officers. 1t is
a new departure, and in long way does
away with placing of persons in cells for
minor offenses. 1t is the principle advo-
Gated by myself, and | believe the time
will come when cells will be used only for
those who, are criminal and who are held
for criminal offenses.
For years | have advocated an inebriate
asylum for victims of intemperance, but
Congress would do nothing when the bill
was called up for consideration"
