WOMEN WANT THE
SCHOOLS CLEANER
Report Made That Janitors Are
in Need of Much Stricter
Supervision
Numerous Complaints About
Many Things That Are Mem
ace to Public Health

Complaints against all manner of
things took up the time of the members
of the womens public health associa-
Ftion at their meeting yesterday morn
ing. which was devoted to listening to
reports.
The first of these was read by Miss
Alice Griffith on schools. Five have
been heard from since the last report,
the Sherman, Fairmont. Glen Park.
Grant and Winfield Scott, of which the
Glen Park and the Winfield Scott are
new. The latter was opened at the
first of the year, but is already dirty
owing to poor janitor service and
poorer regulations for janitors.
WHERE is THE INSPECTOR.
1t was concluded by those who inves-
tigated the schools that the inspector
of janitors does not often visit the
schools. Plumbing improvements are
needed In the other schools. There was
more discussion of tenement house laws
and the Romeo flats over which the
association and Michael Casey of the
board of public works are not in strict
accord. 1t was decided to make a def
mite fight against this type of architec-
ture, which is granted Casey's protec-
tion.
Complaints were then entered against
the scavengers, who are not, it is said.

for with indiscriminate, insanitary
kindness; against the coffee houses run
In Golden Gate avenue for the benefit

was scored.

AN-GERAANS WIN
FIGHT WITH KAISER
Count Won BernStorff Said
To Have Been Repudiated
For Speeches.

BERLIN. Nov. 29.-Count Won Bern
stOrff. German ambassador to the
United States, suffered a hard blow
from his home government today when
an official statement was issued deny
ing that Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Holweg is hostile 20 the Pan-German
element and admitting that the govern
ment values the patriotic impulses OF
the Pan-Germans.
The statement is a practical disa-
vowaI OF BerEstorG, az It was his
speeches in America that aroused the
war party in Germany 70 the point OF
demanding a practical renunciatfon OF
the policy outlined by the ambassador
While there is positive proof that
BernstOTff was speaking "by the card
and with the full approval Of the chan
cellor and the kaiser, al effort Is now
being made TO have IL appear that his
utterances. which were a strong plea
for peace. were private expressions and
without the sanction Of the govern
ment.
The governments possible surrender
70 the Pan-Germans has been foretold
but il was not believed then that the
surrender would come so soon. The
moment BernstOrff's speeches were pub
lished IN Germany, the Pan-German ele-
ment got busy and brought tremendous
pressure TO bear on tEs government
As a result the chancellor changed front
and. it is declared, reDudtated Bern
storff. The latter will now be made 10
bear the blame for the whole affair
and IT is generally predicted that he has
forfeited his chance for promotion to
the diplomatic post at the Court of St
James, which was the program outlineS
before the Pan-Germans began thEiT

Meeting On District Rule
Project Assumes New
Importance.
CANDIDATES CLAIMS
ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
Citizens Are Lining Up With
Board Members In Coming
Fight.

Developments UP until noon in the
campaigning which commenced early
this morning to influence the stand the
Chamber of Commerce viii take with
respect TO nominating Commissioners
for the District indicate that one Of the
warmest political sessions ever held In
Washington Will be the outgrowth Of
the special meeting Of the Chamber
which has been called for wednesday
night.
Members of the Chamber, who are in
close touch with the situation, declare
they have unearthed a nlibustering
scheme, which IS being carried forward
quietly. but vigorously. by persons both
affiliated with and outside OF the organ
ization, whose object is TO defeat any
proposition that may be introduced to
have the Chamber indorse the holding
of a convention .rr name candidates Of
its own for the two vacant Commission
erships.
To Defeat Movement
1t is said the scheme contemplates the
keeping away from the meeting of as
many members as possible and Of bring
ing such outside pressure to bear upor.
the members who do attend that the
defeat or any resolution looking toward
the naming OF candidates will be as
sured on the first ballot
Whatever action the Chamber may
pursue, it is practically assured, viii
not be the expression alone of the
more than 500 members of that organ
ization. but viii he an exprorsio.3 IN
which practically the entire citizen
ship Of the District Of Columbia VIII
be represented.
Exceeding the remotest possibilities
anticipated In the resolution which
authorized the calling OF the special
meeting. it is said today the session
viii be as nearly a citizens conven-
tion as # would be possible to have
one. without eating it by that name.
Citizens Represented.
Among the members OF the organiza-
ton are representatives Of practically
al lue ClLlLcnS dssOClhLlOnSs TO say Moth
ing Of labor and fraternaI organizations
and other civic bodies. This fact alone.
II Is pointed out. is sufficient TO as
sure a representative vote.
That the Chamber may not indorse
the convention plan is admitted by the
warmest supporters OF the plan as prob
able. In the event Of this, however,
it is said, the real fight will come
through an effort that will be made TO
have the Chamber indorse Its own can
didates for Commissioners.
Considering the widefelt pressure be-
ing brought 20 bear, It is asserted the
naming Of candidates by the Chamber
would be almost as effective a means
OF bringing 70 the Presidents notice
whom the citizens want for Commits
sioners as would the holding Of a con-
vention.
