Refusal to Allow Mckinley School Students

ascertain who was responsible for the
order and the reasons therefor.
John Beron. a resident OF Eighth
strset southeast, complained OF the
noiss made by the children on the play
grounds in the vicinity of the Wallaeh
School and requested the board to have
The Fairgrounds removed from the east
TO the west side Of the building.
T1a request came through the Com
mis--oners OF the District and Mrs. Mus
sey, chairman of the committee on play
grounds, reported that the Fairgrounds
WIZ their equipment were established
on the east side Of the school for the
reason that sufficient space was not af-
forded on the other side, and that 10
remtve them would be 10 curtail the
opportunities for play and recreation
now afforded the children
The board unanimously agreed to Mrs.
Mussey's report that the Fairgrounds
should not be moved, and the request
of Mr. Beron was returned to the Com
missioners with the boards Endorsement
OF The report appended
When a request was submitted from
Health Officer Woodward asking for in
structions for rules and regulations gov
erning the medical inspection Of schools,
President Oyster, OF the board, wanted
to know II any inspections were made
why the reports were plgeonholed in
the Health Office and not forwarded to
the board. Captain Oyster took occasion
to express his opinion that the Health
Department might be more ready in its
response for information from the board
of education.

CURTIS GUILD SEES
PERIL IN JAPANESE

MEDFORD, Mass, May 6--Pleading
for better support of the militia, the
soldiers of peace" and for the increase
OF the regular army. Curtis Guild. for
rner governor of Massachusetts,, declared
before the faculty and students of
Tufts College here that America today
lies practically defenseless before the
japanese.
Governor Guild said, in part:
There Is a steady movement toward
peace in this country. and universal
peace is not impossible. But peace and
lack OF armament by a single nation
alone is suicidal.
The United States Is now at peace,
but the fact that the country Is hope
lessfy unready fer war is not preventing
al least one great power having inter-
ests in the Pacific from preparing for
gar with somebody. This nations army
IS three times as large as ours, its spies
are at work along the Panama canal,
and are stirring the Filipinos TO revolt.
We have everything to lose and nothing
10 gain with a war with this nation.
Defeat here will mean irreparable dis
asfer.

ties TO Inland safe deposit vaults in '9S

FRENCH LABORITES
THROW GAUNTLET
Will Call General Strike If
Government Continues
Suspensions.

PARIS. May 6-At the headquarters
of the general labur confederation ii
was unofhcially stated today that a
general strike throughout the whole of
France is a question of only a few
days, IL the government continues its
suspension of employees for their par
ticipation in the movement toward
unionism.
The declaration Of the walk-out will
largely depend upon the answer that
Premier Clemenceau makes TO the dele
cation from the confederation that will
demand Of him the restoration to the
employees of a guarantee against future
suspensions and the retirement of NJ
Simyan. under secretary OF the posts.
The laborites say they can c., out at
the start all the postoffice. telegraph,
telephone, and railroad employees in
the country and can soon extend the
strike until a complete tie-up results
Ten thousand men and women are
held in readiness by the government to
take the places Of strikers. Hundreds
of soldiers, experts in telegraphy, are
now drilling this reserve force and will
themselves be available for service.

DOCTORS PUZZLED
BY NEWCOAB CASE
Report That Aged Scientists S
Condition Is Worse
Alarms Friends.

Physicians this morning admit they
are puzzled over the cass of Prof. Simon
Newcomb. whose home is at 1920 P
street northwest. who lies at Johns
Hopkins Hospital III Baltimore, suffer
ing from an illness N'ariously diagnosed
as slight stomach tr1uble, neuralgia of
the side, and cancer tf the stomach.
For several months the scientist has
been in pocr health, and early this year
his condition was considered serious
enough for his removal to Johns Hop
kins University Ho spital. In the face
of his advanced age "a years, he with
stood one operation for internal trouble
and his friends were alarmed when the
report was made public several days
ago that he was to be operated upon
again.
Physicians this morning deny that
there was any intention of again plac-
ing him on the operating table
In my judgment Prof. Newcomb is
not seriously ill.," said DIR. YounF to-
day. 1T is likely that he will leavs the
hospital within week. He has been
here since the last operation for obser-
walton, and do not consider his con-
dition serious enough 10 justify an
operation"

Kingstown are today investigating the
story told by a man named Payne that
the captain and crew of the American
whaler Carrie D. knowles are impris-

OF the crew, says he escaped last month.
He says the whaler, disabled by fierce
storms, put into the Venezuelan port
fivs years ago. and that Capt. Colin
Stephenson and her crew OF twelve were
seized and thrown into prison. where
they have since been held.
Payne Sells a rambling, incoherent

crodibility, and Americans have placed
the matter before Frederick Van Dyne,
the American consul at KingstOWn, ia
maica, with the request that he COM
municate with Venezuela.
