Ffre-cscnne Law.

Commissioner MaefarIand said the law
requiring fire escapes on buildings in the
District Of Columbia. to which reference
had been made as putting the response
bility for the lack OF additional fire
escapes on public school buildings upon
the Commissioners. provided no change
whatever in the method prescribed by
law for preparing and transmitting esti-
mates for the public schools, and. or
course, made no appropriation for fire
escapes on the public schools or any
other municipal building.
1T was" he said, "as much the dutv of
the board of education 10 prepare and
submit flre-escape estimates since as be-
fore the enactment OF the fre-escape law.
However" ne said. mo wthat the esti-
mate had been received, everybody should
cooperate 10 secure the appropriation
necessary, instead of raising needless con.
troversies which would only hamper the
effort the Commissioners were making TO
secure what the board Of education esti-
mated as necessary for the proper pro-
lection of the public school pupils

Fau Text Transmitted.

The full text of the estimates of the
board OF education had been transmitted
by the Commissioners TO Congress every
year since 1900. even though the Commits
sioners could not always approve all the
estimates not relating TO fire protection.
and that Congress had considered both
the estimates recommended by the Com
missioners and those not so recommended.

the other. IN particular items.
The Commissioners state that. as was
Well known, Congress had failed 10 ap-
propriate over two million dollars of the
estimates submitted by the board OF edu-
cation and approved BY the Commissioners
during the past ten years for school build
ings and grounds, and that with the inevl-
table delays in securing sites and plans

condition of many school buildings
But every recommendation that had
been made by the board OF education in
the past seven years" the Commissioners
say, had been transmitted by the Com

by Congress. The particular estimate for

The Washington herald., 1908-03-21

Estimates for fire protection improve
ments in the public schools were received
by the Commissioners yesterday from the
board OF education
These were submitted under the request
OF the Commissioners that the board pre-
pare such estimates upon the reports OF
Chief Engineer Belt. of the fire depart
ment. and Superintendent OF Schools
Stuart. under the law which requires that
all estimates for public schools shall be
prepared by the board of education and
transmitted by the Commissioners, with
their recommendations, to Congress.
Upon receiving the board Of education
letter the Commissioners approved the
estimates. filling in the amount left blank
by the board of education IN the fire
escape provision. and transmitting the
estimate to Congress with favorable rec
ommendation
Letter to Board OF Education.
A letter was sent to the board Of edu-
cation by the Commissioners stating thar
prompt action will be taken by the Com
missioners on the estimates now Submitted
TO them. and that for'the past seven years
they have recommended all estimates sub
mitted by the board OF education for i'm
proved fire protection and for repairs and
improvements to buildings and grounds.
and such appropriations as have been
made by Congress.
mo avoidable delay has occurred in the
expenditure Of these appropriations the
Commissioners wrote. The estimates
now submitted By the board OF education
are distinct from all its former estimates,
and the need FOR these was not apparent
when the former estimates were submit
ted 70 the Commissioners.
Municipal Architect Recommended.
The Commissioners observe the state
ment Of the board Of education that the
adoption OF its recommendation for the
appointment of "A school architect to have
charge OF the construction and repair of
school buildings under the direction OF
the board Of education would soon bring
relief that is needed and desire to say
that the appointment OF a municipal ar
chtect. at a salary .of only 500 more
than the SG.000 recommended by the board
OF education for the school architect, has
been recommended by the Commissioners
to Congress.
The municipal architect would be able
10 supervise the construction and re-
pair of all municipal buildings. includ-
ing school buildings. This would accomp-
hsh the purpose had in view by the
board Of education. and at the same time
accomplish other similar purposes, with
out removing the administration OF this
matter from the municipal government
where IL belongs"
Since the Commissioners could not ask
for the necessary appropriations until the
estimates were received. they were graft
fed 10 have the estimates so promptly
furnished. They called attention TO the
printed annual book OF estimates showing
that the last estimates for fire escapes
freprOof stairways. fire extinguishers, and
other special fire protection. were received
by the Commissioners from the board OF
education IN 1904 Then. as now, the
Commissioners said. they approve such
recommendations. as they have always

HONOLULU HIGH
SCHOOL DRAMATICS

For a number of years the senior
class of the Honolulu High School
have, at the close of their school term,
presented a dramatic entertainment.
This year is not an exception. 1t has
been the object of the students to pre-
sent plays that are up-to-date; plays
that not alone have made an American
success, and advanced some Ameri-
can actor or actress to the topmost
rung. but have also been recognized
on the Continent. such plays as His
Excellency the Governor" Mrs. Tenn
pies Telegram" and this year, Alice
Sit-by-the-Fire.
Prior experience as to the work of
the performers, especially their last
years success. Mrs Temples Tele-
gram" assures the public that con-
else and thoughtful presentation will
be given this year.

FIFTY FANCY DANCERS
At MOANA HOTEL

Half a hundred children are training
faithfully under the direction of Mrs.
Mary Gum for an exhibition of fancy
dancing, to be given at the Moana
Hotel on Friday evening, June 18th.
There will be complete orchestra in
attendance, and the children will all be
in fancy costume. Devotees of the
graceful art of dancing, as well as all
lovers of the graceful and the beautiful,
will find this treat. Every special
and fancy dance in the category, from
the Highland Fling to the latest impor-
tation, will be given for the delectation
of the audience by the airy little dan
GERS. After ten clock adults will have
possession of the floor for dancing.
On former occasions, the exhibition
has been given at the Opera House, but
it has always proved too small to allow
all the dancers to perform, and so this
year, the affair will be held in the din
ing room of the Moana. and there will
be plenty of room for performers and
audience.
Mrs. Gum has in the past given some
very clever. and entertaining exhibit
tions, but it is her intention to eclipse
them all by this years performance,
and she is working with the hearty CO.
operation of the children, who like
nothing better than to delight their
audience with their clever and pretty
dances and songs.

HUNDLEY MAY LOSE
PROBABLE THAT ROOSEVELT WILL
 SELECT ANOTHER JUDGE.
Much Speculation In washington As to the Appointment of AHabama Republican to the

Washington. May 3i--fSpeciaL)--- More than q month ago a fairly well authorized rumor was heard here that if the Senate did not confirm Oscar R Hundley, President Roosevelt would not again send in his nomination.
 Well, the Senate did not confirm him. but whether the President. will make A fresh appointment now or give Hunds lev another recess appointment until an unobiectionable man from among Alabama Republicans can be selected for the judgsship. there Is considerable difference of opinion

 President Roosevelt's attention has been called to the undenia6le fact thai many of the strongest and most innu. ential Republican Senators are opposed to Hundiey's confirmation. If they had not. his nomination would certainly have gone through. for 1t should be re- membered that HundIev had ths back ing of .the Alabama Senators and of MT.
