TEACHERS PAY CHECKS READY
AUDITOR EXPECTS TO DIS
TRIBUTE THEM TOMORROW.
Big Job Because Of School Year
Changes, But Nsbursing Clerks
Have Been Hustling.

District Auditor Alonzo Tweedale and
Disbursing Officer Louis c. Wilson and
their assistants have been exerting them
selves during the past few days in an
effort to have the pay checks OF the
teachers in the public schools ready for
distribution tomorrow.
Auditor Tweedale came to his Office
yesterday claiming that his right arm
should be in sling. He spent most OF
the day yesterday and until a late hour
last night in aff1xing his signature to
the 1,6OO checks which will bring joy to
that number OF school teachers tomor.
row, and during the day yesterday Dis
bursting Officer Wilson kept calling for
new pens and had the inkstand on his
desk frequently replenished
On account OF the numerous changes
in the payrols at the beginning of the
school year the preparation and audit
ing of the first pay roll is a monumental
task. This year the work has been
rushed as much as efficiency would per-
init. and 1t Is hoped to distribute the
checks tomorrow, two days earlier than
the first vouchers were handed out last
fall
AS the teachers have not been receiv-
ing pay since June it is expected that
this earlier distribution will be somewhat
appreciated.

Argument on Land Valuation Put
Of Until October 10.

The hearing OF the protest Of the own
ers of property In the five squares lying
south of Pennsylvania avenue between
Hath and 18th streets to the valuation
placed on the property by the commission
appointed to condemn the land Will not be
held tomorrow as scheduled. Justice Stat
ford had set aside the entire day for the
arguments of counsel for and against the
confirmation Of the awards. but at the last
moment 1t was found that the time was
announcement to some attorneys who
wished to be heard. and the court granted
a delay of one week. The hearing Will
probably be held Monday. October Is.
An effort is being made to have the
matter referred to Justice Anderson for
decision, as he passed upon the legal
questions involved in the proceedings and
instructed the commission as to the basis
of its appraisement of the land and lease
hold interests. Such an arrangement, 1t Is
suggested, would avoid the necessity of
two bills of exceptions in the event of an
appeal by the property holders from an
adverse decision. If Justice Anderson
could hear the protest and confirmed the
award only one bill of exceptions would
be required for an appeal.

FUGITIVE FLAGS FLY AFFAIR
Leave Church Surreptitiously #
Roof and Ash Dump.

The congregation of Bethany Baptist
Church is having difficulty over flags
used to decorate the church at a recent
home coming celebration and at a rally
day.
The north gallery Of the building was
draped with two large American flags, a
Canadian flag and a British flag. Some
one pried open a window and took the
flags unto himself.
A few days later the pastor. Rev. Hugh
I. Stevenson. was walking down the
street and espied husky laborer turning
on water from fire plug. around which
was twisted and snarled dirty American
flag. very much like one Of those which
the church has missed.
The pastor gave the man a few words
on the subject Of flag dissertation. but the
answer was that 1t was all right, as the
flag had come from dump.
Detective Barbee was put on the trail
Of tho flag thieves, and was surprised to
find, on his first visit to the church, that
the British and Canadian flags had been
tied to the roof Of the church, and were
waving proudly.
