ce.ve and use any new school buildings
or additions to old buildings until the
fire chief and the health officer had ex-
amined them and pronounced them saIe

I'm accordance with that rule, we can
not use the portable schools until we
have the approval OF Fire Cniet beM ana
Health Oficer Woodward" continued
President Oyster this morning. we
wrote the Commissioners November IL
requesting this inspection. but we nave
not received the reports as yet. we need
the buildings to relieve the congestion IN
the present structures and are anxious
to use them. The keys were delivered to
us last Wednesday, but there seems to be
some delay in giving US the reports OF
the inspections
Supt. A. T. Stuart explained this morn
ing that all the desks and other furniture
for the new schools are ready to be
installed as soon as the reports OF the
District officiais are received. 1t is ex-
pected their use will be delayed only a
short time after the receipt or the re-
ports. >. :.
One of the portable buildings, it is
stated, is desired for use as cooking
school, and In requesting the inspection
of the buildings the board of education
asked If such use would be permitted.
AS the structures are of wood. the opinion
of Fire Chief Belt was desired.
Thirteen Of the portable schools are now
practically ready. Under the direction OF
Supt stuart and Secretary Hine, these
are located as additions to the following
schools: White-Chevy Chase, Ross CD,
Morgan, Hubbard. Jefferson, .WeiEhtman
and Benning: colored--Ivy City, Lovejoy,
Garrison and Garnet Co. AS money Is
available, the board Of education has
asked the Commissioners to purchase two
more portable buildings.
The portable schools will In a few days
be officialiy inspected by the special COM
ment composed of Capt. Kelly, assistant
engineer commissioner. in charge of build
ings; Chief Belt of the are department
and S. Ashford, the building inspector.
The committee. which was created for the
purpose of inspecting new schools prior
to their occupancy. would have COM
menced the inspections more than a week
ago, but Chief Belt was out of the city.
Chief Belt returned to his deslc today.
and 1t Is considered likely that the in
spection will be started tomorrow or next
day.

"Abolishes the Yellow Peril"
PARIS. November 30.-French comment
on the Acknowledgements agreement is
generally favorable. The papers hail 1t as
a further guarantee of the worlds peace
and as the abolition of the yellow peril,
so far as America is concerned. 1t is also
pointed out as a decisive refutation of the
kaser's alarms as expressed to various
American visitors during the past few
months.
1t is described in most of the news
papers as the equivalent of the Franco
Japanese agreement, concluded in June,
1907. and il is said that ii even borrows
from that convention the most debatable
clause. which gives guarantee of the
status quo in China
The Temps infers that the two govern
mentS must have first reached full
agreement on the immigration question.
1t adds that Japan is appeasing all the
uneasinesS she awakened a year or SO
ago, and is winning much esteem by
her diplomacy as by her renown at arms.

Effect of a fractional Fight.

POlltlClanS 90 not agree lndt MI J" oou-
ruff could have defeated Mr.. Root if the
question came to political issue. but they
are we'll aware that such contest would
have split the party wide open in New
York, and delayed. If not prevented, the
process of fractional healing which is now
under way. If Mr.. Woodruff had per-
sisted he would have brought to Ms sup
port some Of the old factions, who would
have seen in his elevation to the senator
ship chance TO seize the state organiza-
ton and use it to their own ends. This
might have led to strained relations be-
tween the federal and state machines and
prevented harmonious work in the effort
which is to be made next fall to redeem
the municipality from Tammany rule.
AS 1t now falls out Mr.. Woodruff re-
tains his hold on the state machine and
forms a closer alliance with the federal
organization. Patronage will be dispensed
to the best interests of a united party
and a strong organiza ton can be built up.
More Harmony in the Senate.
There is another harmony feature which
is not overlooked by politicians in their
satisfaction over this happy agreement.
1t is said that Mr.. Root in the Senate
will be able to harmonic some of the
disturbed republican factions in that body
He will be the means of bringing to the
support of Mr.. Taft the anti-Roosevelt
this entire administration has been that
Of the peacemaker.' He Is held in such
high esteem and affectionate personal re-
gard by senators and other public men
that he has upon more than one occasion
bridged a threatening political chasm.
It Is thought that he will undoubtedly
be the administration right-hand man
in the Senate. Although a junior in that
body, his distinguished service in CO.
ordinate branch Of the government will
c{x iro md rxyi11 a 70 nh
different from that Of the ordinary new
senator.
Although his presence in the Senate is
desired mainly for his attachments and
governmental affairs, his political i'm
portance will not be lessened. Mr.. Root
is q militant figure in New York politics.
This was evidenced by the signal success
with which he overcame the desperate
situation at Saratoga this fall and brought
about the nomination of Gov. Hughes.
The far-reaching results of that accom-
plishment were shown as the campaign
progressed and concluded. Mr.. Roots con-
tention that the governors denomination
was essential to party success in New
York and advantageous to the national
campaign was borne out. No one has
attempted to deprive him and President
Roosevelt of credit for the wisdom of that
contention and its carrying out.
Will Restore New York Prestige.
His coming to the Senate, it is said.
will bring back some of the spirit of the
old days when New York senator's were
power in the politics of their state. as
we'll as in the legislative councils. This
has not been true since Mr.. Platt has been
deprived of activity by physical ailment
and realization of the fact has been i'm
pressed upon politicians severely.
Mr.. Woodrun's announcement of his
withdrawal from the senatorial contest
will be found in another column of The
Star.
