One section of the commission, which

Crawford has undergone several defeats
in his congressional fights in that district.
He is the member who was unseated once
on d contest by Richmond Pearson by d
margin of one vote.
Morehead and Grant were elected by a
margin of less than 400 CoWles won out
by 1.6OO These republican successes in
North Carolina are attributed by North
Carolina papers to d great change in SEN

Visits Northeast Section.

The other section composed Of Messrs.
Prescott and Pelz visited schools in the
northeast section. Among them were the
Blow. 10th street and Benning road north
east; the Webb. 10th and Rosedale streets
northeast; the Pierce, 18th and G streets
northeast: the Wheatley. 18th aand N
streets northeast: the Blair. l street be-
tween 9th and 7th streets northeast. and
the Madison, 10th and g streets north
east
At the Jefferson building, the largest
visited by the first section today, much
interest was taken in the ''shoot the
chutes' fire escapes. on two sides. The
pupils rush into the top of standpipe
from the classrooms on the second floor,
sit down in a smooth slide that runs
around the inside of the pipe and emerge
safely at the bottom on the round One
of the advantages mentioned is that the
children cannot fall and must land safely
on the ground, no matter how great the
excitement.
At the two front entrances Of the JEFF
ferson there are three sets of double
doors. The building has wide stairways,
but wooden wainscoting along the stone
steps. At one of the rear exits on the
first floor one-half the door was bolted
this morning. At window leading to one
of the fire escapes from a second-floor
classroom there are a radiator and several
potted plants obstructing a free exit.
Walls Need Painting.
In the cooking school the walls were
found to be covered with dust. The
teacher in charge explained that several
requests a year for several years past
have been filed to have the walls and CELL
ing cleaned and reprinted, but nothing
has been done.
At several of the schools today the COM
mission members found woodwork near
furnaces blistered by the heat. 1t was
noted that wooden doors from playrooms
swing against furnaces or near them and
that the paint on such doors has been
blistered. This was discovered in the first
building visited today. the Greenleaf, and
at all the others the matter was given
special attention. In the Ambush it was
found that a strip of galvanized iron had
been put on the bottom of doors swinging
near the furnace. but no protection was
put on the part of the door nearest the
furnace.
At the S. j. Bowen School doorways
from cloakroom are only three feet In
width. although the exits could easily
have been made couple of feet wider.
wooden partition around the coal bin
is within three feet of the furnace.
At the Ambush 1t was found that the
ashes were put in bin against a wood
partition separating ashes from coal.

May Be Law by July I.

That the tariff revision problem will be
disposed of at the earliest possible day is
indicated from many directions. and it is
practically certain now that the new law
will be in operation by July L. 1902 the
beginning of new fiscal year.
1t is felt by many who do not believe
the law can be passed at the regular ses
sion that the extra session to be called
by President Taft will be short, lasting
not over sixty or seventy days. This
would secure passage by June I at the
outside and give thirty days for the pro-
visions Of the law to become understood
before going into effect. If the Senate
and House leaders map out program
of quick work for the extra session they
will be working to that end all through
the regular session. having everything
ready for prompt action Immediately upon
assembling next spring.
Consideration of Dingley Bill.
There will be d vast difference between
the Congress that handles the proposed
tariff bill and the one that adopted the
Dingley law in 1897. The democrats had
been In power for four years before that
time and new republican Congress had
10 take up the question and dispose of It,
President Mckinley called Congress In
extra session in March, 1907. and July "a
of that year the President affixed his
signature to the measure. Close to two
months over the time then consumed
will be gained next spring.
II is not understood that President
Roosevelt has given revision at the COM
ing regular session much attention and he
did not discuss the subject today with
either Senator Aldrich or Representative
Roberts He feels that Taft should have
the honor Of handling the tariff PROPOSE
ton. The republican national convention
committed the party to revision in extra
session and he does not believe there will
he much inclination to attempt it before
that time.

Won't Forget That Pussy in
a Hurry, Never Fear.

1t would be hard to convince Johnny
Graham, of Grove street, Montclair,
that he was not attacked by a wildcat
yesterday. while on his way to sun
day school, despite the fact that wild
cats do not grow in that town.
The lad was walking along Green
wood avenue, that town, when a cat
that had been sitting On a piazza roof
was preparing to jump at a sparrow
that was chirping in a tree on the
lawn in front of the house. Just as
Johnny was passing the house the cat
jumped. inc the small twig on which
the bird sat was not sufficiently strong
to bear the weight of pussy, and h
lighted right on top of Johnny's head.
The boy screamed and the cat, more
frightened than he, a across the
street. George Collins, who saw the
affair out of a window of his
home. went to the boys assistance The
still insists that he was attacked
by a wildcat, although pussy didn't
give him even a scratch.
