FOR LOCAL TEACHERS
BILL PREPARED PROVIDING
FOR THEIR RETIREMENT.

Within the next week or so the Conn
missioners will. it is said. present to Con-
gress a bill providing for a retirement
fund for school teachers in the District
of Columbia. w. v. Cox, chairman OF
the committee of the board OF education.
which prepared the retirement BILL called
upon Commissioner Mcfarland several
days ago on behalf of the board of edu-
cation and asked him to present the mat
ter to the other Commissioners and to
urge Its early enactment.
Mr.. Mcfarland said in response that
he would ask his colleagues to make It
a Commissioners bill and do everything
in his power to secure its enactment.
According to Commissioner Marfarland.
the amount Of public money that would
be required under the terms of the bill,
based on the estimates of salaries for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1909. would be
only SO. 40. 40, in addition to the amounts
derived from payments to be made by
teachers themselves into the retirement
fund.
Views Of MI. Cox.
Mr.. Cox stated that while about eighty
teachers are now eligible for retirement
under the terms Of the proposed law less
than half that number were known 10 De
DESTROYS of retiring In the near future.
He submitted a copy Of the report OF the
committee of the board OF education,
which has been approved by that body,
and also an index of all the printed mat
ter on the subject. together with other
data in support of the measure. The bill
and the report of the committee OF the
board of education have been published.
Mr.. Mcfarland said today: Il shall do
everything in my power to secure the
enactment of, this legislation. We ought
to have had it long ago. 1t Is only just
that these public servants. than whom
none are more faithful or more useful.
should have a contribution from the pub
lie funds to their retirement pay. 1t Is d.
rectIy in the interests of the public schools
themselves stimulating better service and
providing for the retirement of many
teachers who are no longer able to do
their work, after long years Of applica-
ton to it. 1t was very gratifying to hear
many of the superintendents Of public In.
struction who were at the convention here
last week confirm i'm the strongest way
my statement that there aretno better
teachers in the United States than those
in our public schools"

THE SULTAN DEFEATED.
His Brother, n Usurper, Is Now the
Ruler of MOrOccO-TrOOps De-
serted Him.

Tangicr. August 23.-The defeat Of the
Sultan Add -Aziz by the forces of his
brother Mulai Iiafid. has been con-
frmed. The sultan of record was sur
prsed on the night Of Aug. 10. and most
of his troops deserted to the side of the
usurping sultan after the firing of a
few shots. Reports indicate that the de-
feat of ADD El-Aziz was due largely to
the betrayal of his own tribesmen. Mulai
Hafid has been proclaimed sultan Of
Morocco at Tangicr and announcement
of the proclamation has been telegraph
ed to all parts of the country All the
officials who previously have been UNI
der the rule of Add El-Aziz In this city
declare that they lave accepted Muai
Hafid as their leader, thereby making
him supreme In all the large cities of
Morocco.
Details of the battle show that Add
Fl-Aziz had an army Numerically tho
superior of the enemy. but that hi. ar
'illory either failed TO work or was
deliberately tempered with. Some Of
the guns exploded, throwing the tribes
men into a panic. The vast majority
OF these seized the opportunity to flee
during the engagement and general
