TEACHERS At WORK
ASSEMBLE FOR PURPOSE OF OUT.
LINING THE YEARS WORK
AND EXCHANGING IDEAS.

Thirty of the instructors who will
teach in the public schools of the
city the ensuing year gathered at
the High school building this morn.
ing, for the purpose of outlining the
work of the year. These will be un.
der the instruction of Supt Charles
Evans of the public schools for the
next three days. In normal for the
teachers of Ardmore's schools only.
This normal is held for the pur-
pose Of bringing the teachers into
closer relations towards one anoth-
er, and so that the superintendent
can outline the line of work for the
year. All the studies taught by each
teacher will be taken up during the
next three days. and a careful per
usal of the books under that head
made.
In this manner it is hoped to pre-
pare the instructors in the city's
schools, so that the schools this
year will be better than ever before
There is no reason why this should
not be the case, as everything is
more favorable to a good year than
ever in the history OF the school. The
teachers who gathered at the High
School building this morning. sem.
ed enthusiastic, and eager. The years
work lay before them, and they were
just taking the reins in their hands.
Prospects are indeed bright, should
the enthusiasm which was shown this
morning continue.

they will stick TO them il can not be

was felt by all.
Mr.. Dial is forceful He hits the

subject, but he caught the attention
of the people and sowed the seeds
OF his belief
On the platform with the speaker
were a half hundred supporters of the
temperance cause. An organ and a
piano had been placed on the stand
and a choir composed OF singers from
many of the churches were present.
These furnished music until II seem.

An active campaign has lately been
inaugurated by the advocates OF pro-

gathered on the streets last night was
probably the largest ever attending a
prohibition meeting In this city.

WOULD FIND A REMEDY
INTRODUCED By
REPRESENTATIVE MoRRELL
Proposed Congressional Investigation
of the Causes of Railway
Disasters.

AS direct result of the recent railroad
horror at Terra Gotta, ID. c.. following on
the heels of disastrous accidents in other
parts or the country during the past
month or so and the generally high an
nual list of railroad fatalities in the
united states, Representative Morrell OF
Pennsylvania today introduced A resolu-
ton creating a congressional commission
charged with the duty or investigating
the causes of the frequent railroad ca
tastrophes and framing legislation on the
subject.
The resolution follows:
Whereas the number of recent wrecks
upon railroads. resulting in several in
stances in appalling loss of life and in
entire country;
And whereas 1t is the belief OF MANY
that these accidents are the direct result
OF oVerworked employees and other avoid
able conditions;
Therefore be It resolved that a COM
mittee of five members of the House OF
Representatives., with power to subpoena
witnesses. take testimony and compel
the production of books and papers he
appointed by the Speaker of the House
OF Representatives to thoroughly investi-
gate the causes which lead up to these
accidents and to make such recommended
lions In the form of a bill to be passed
by Congress as will give to the interstate
commerce commission power TO make
such rules and regulations as shall pre-
vent similar accidents in the future
To carry out the purposes of this reso-
luton the sum of $4,000 or so much thereof
as shall be necessary is hereby appro-
priated.'
MI Morrell is much in earnest IN this
matter and will press his resolution at
once. He said today:
was thinking this morning while on the
train coming to Washington that the list
OF fatalities from railroad accidents had
reached such enormous proportions and
was growing so rapidly year by year that
1t was high time that Congress took a hand
In the matter and made a thorough and
comprehensive investigation of the subject
Only in the past month or so there have
been number of horrible railroad catastro-
Plies and in several of them-the majority
of them l may say-the cause of the acct
dent, so far as the public may gather from
the newspaper reports. has been about the
same l think an investigation by a con-
gressional committee, in addition to deter
mining the cause of various disasters and
preventive measures that might be adopted
would have a most wholesome effect

EFFECT OF DECISION.
Probable Report on Application Of De-
posed Teachers for Their Paw.


In opinion referred to the auditor Of
the District yesterday afternoon Controller
of the Treasury Traeewell decided that the
reinstatement of Francis L. CardoZo into
the public school system entitled him to
salary for the time he was out of office, as
stated in yesterdays Star, but that the ac-
ton of the court in this case In no way
affects the other deposed teachers, who
have demanded reinstatement and back
pay.
"Cardozo,' he said, was reappointed un-
der the reorganization act and was con-
tinued in office by the board of education
for certain time whereas the other de-
posed teachers and officers were not re-
appointed or continued by the board. They
were simply dropped when the old act gov
erning the school system went out of exist
ence."
This decision Of Mr.. Tracewen was a
source of much relief to Mr.. Garrison, the
District auditor. He could not approve
payment of the teachers and officers who
were appointed to succeed those who were
deposed, because he thought, under the
Cardozo ruling, both the deposed teachers
and their successors might claim pay, Gre
ating complication.
The officers and teachers deposed are NJ
r f. Swartzell, ]. L. Love, NJ. E. Male, J.
X. Keene, j. 3. Clark and Mrs. A. j. Coon
er. Those who were appointed to succeed
them are w. S. Small, w. T. S. Jackson, H.
p. Shadd, c. NJ. Atwood, w. w. Black and r
c. Bruce Mr.. Tracewell says the deposed
officers and teachers are entitled to bring
suit, but that he does not believe they can
recover their pay by such a procedure
A petition signed by Mrs. A. j. Cooper
j. B. Clark and ]. B. Love, three of the de-
posed officers, the substance of which was
printed in last nights Star, was forwarded
TO the Commissioners well as the board
of education. After being received by Dr.
Tindall, secretary to the board of Commits
sioners. the petition was referred to Com
missioner West. who before taking any ac-
ton referred it to Auditor Garrison for
report, and the Commissioners action will
be based upon the report Of the auditor.
A strong claim Is made by the petitioners
for their salaries from the beginning of the
present school session to the present date
Although Auditor Garrison has not pre-
pared his report upon this matter for the
Commissioners, he said today that his re-
port will be on the lines of the decision Of
the controller, to the effect that the Car
dozo case has no bearing on these deposed
officers and that they are not entitled to
pay.
ANY other report by me would be out
of the question" Mr.. Garrison said.

IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
Young Man Unconscious From Effects
of Inhaling Gas.

James Spichnall, thirty years of age,
was taken to the Emergency Hospital
from 602 Pennsylvania avenue northwest
about noon today to be treated for gas
poisoning. He was found in his room by
colored porter in an unconscious con-
dition. The gas jet was only partly open,
and 1t is thought the accident was due to
the young man not being familiar with
gas fixtures. Spichnall is from Bristol,
Md, and he was here for the purpose of
getting a position on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. His condition is serious.
