in the way Of streets payements, water, sewer

1t may surprise you to know that lets at
Chevy Chase be secured on terms which
are remarkably reasonable for property Of

would enable you to erect that ideal suburban

There are at Chevy Chase number of

SCHOOL FUND FIGHT
LIKELY TO CONTINUE
Board of Education to Insist
That Estimates Not
Be Cut.

The last word in the dispute between
the Board of Education and the Com
nlissioners over the school estimates has
hot vet been said. Ii is not unlikely
that the school authorities. still insistent
that their estimates for the next fiscal
wear not be cut, as is intended by the
Commissioners. will press their claims
by demanding that the Commissioners
pare down the estimates of some other
District departments so as to provide
for educational needs.
This became apparent today when
Secretary Hine OF the Board of Educa-
ton. sent TO the Commissioners the rec
ord OF the proceedings al the last meet
ing OF the school authorities. He also
sent p supplementary statement explain
ing the situation relative to the rented
buildings, upon which the Board OF
Education bases its demand for money
Tor new school structures.
Tile recent school board proceedings,
u VIII he remembered, We're ephVed by
some rather tranchant comment from
". Y. Cox, chairman Of the ways and
means committee of the board. apropos
the action of the Commissioners. in cut
ting down the education budget. When
these comments. therefore. are reviewed
today by the Commissioners it would
not surprise some of the members OF
the Board Of Education, if they drew
the municipal fire. although there rs 10
open disposition TO provoke a contro-
VerSv.
But the school authorities say they do
not intend to recede from their demand
for at least 80 per cent OF next years
appropriation All OF that and more
Is needed. they say to build up the
school system and make Il comparable
with other cities OF corresponding size.
This was expressed this morning by Mr..
Cox who said:
I'VE feel that the estimates are
reasonable and cannot be cut without
too great sacrifice. At least 30 per cent
OF the District budget should be expend-
cd next year for education. It should
be done by curtailing expenses in other
departments, II there Is no other way"

.HOGUE SUES ATWELL
He Asks For 100000 For Criminal
Prosecution and Property Fraud
uIently Obtained, He Charges.

Dallas, Texas, April 2O.-A suit for
100000 damages was filed today by
w. J. Hogue in the Sixty-eighth dis
trict court against w. H. Atwell, S. A.
Burlington, E. R. Meek and c. H.
Soelke. The plaintiff alleges that
about July, 1908, the defendants enter.
ed into conspiracy to use their com
bined efforts to cheat, swindle and
defraud plaintiff of property, collat.
erals and securities to the amount OF
over $250,0O0. The suit is based upon
the proceedings in a case tried before
Judge Edward R. Meek, in which the
plaintiff was prosecuted for fraudulent
use of the mails and convicted, de.
PENDANT Atwell having prosecuted the
case. The plaintiff charges that de
PENDANTS Burlington and Soelke were
to and did get the amount of prop
erty, securities, etc, by false pre-
lenses and fraudulent representations
that they would build the Union Cen
trail Railroad in Texas for the Union
Central Railroad company, of which
plaintiff was president, and that the
other defendants, through the pro
ceedings of the case during the pros
ecution, assisted them in securing
said property.
