SCHOOL INSPECTION
PLANNED BY BOARD
Major Judson Would Place
1t in Hands of Fire and
Health Officers.

In order to relieve the Board Of Edu-
cation of responsibility for the care
and condition Of schools. Commissioner
Judson is considering the adoption or
a monthly inspection of the buildings
by the Fire and Health Departments.
My opinion is that the buildings
should be inspected at regular intervals
by the Health Department IN order TO
determine their sanitary conditions and
by the FIRE marshal with a view TO ex-
tending every possible protection from
FIRE" said Commissioner JuGsOn today.
Reports should be submitted TO the
municipal architect. Such an arrange
ment would permit the Board Of Edu-
cation to devote its entire time 10 edu-
caLiOndl matters, and Ould center the
resp 1nsibility as 10 tie conditions OF
the buildings with the Engineer Depart
ment.
L am also in favor of placing the
janitors under the supervision of the
care Of the buildings, and instead of
being responsible 10 the Board Of Edu-
cation should answer 60 the authorities
who have supervision Of cOllstr action.
The municipal architect WOULD be ex-
pected to devote a considerable portion
OF his time to the care of schools as the
District appropriation bill provides that
# shall be his duty to supervise tint
repair and Improvement OF all public
buildings.

UNIVERSAL PEACE
British Ambassador Makes PrIn-
cipal Address at the Dinner
at Delmonico's.

NEW YORK. May 25.-Peace
throughout the world is assured by
the friendship between the United
States and England, according to
James Bryce. British ambassador.
who made a speech last night at the
dinner of the British Schools and
Universities Club at Delmonico's in
honor OF Empire Day. The occasion
is also the celebration Of the anniver-
sary OF the birth of Queen Victoria.
Many illusions to the early days OF
the United States were wittily made
by the author % THE American
Commonwealth" who now represents
his country at Washington.
"Some Of you" nc said, ''have be-
come citizens Of the United States,
but that should make no difference as
far as the love for the old country is
concerned. Every man today next
TO his own country feels the greatest
interest in this great commonwealth
IN which you live.
"Here ia the United States is being
worked out the propagation of aur
stock and OF those traditions and ia
situations which wherever they have
been adopted have brought peace,
order and happiness with them
4 feel that interest in the welfare
Of the United States that I Feel in
Great Britain, and despite misunder-
standings which have arisen from
time TO time the two nations are
growing together in friendship"

a Desperate Stand Against
Policeman.

PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-After bat
Ting for an hour in a closed freight car
for the possession Of a revolver, Police

morning.
The policeman, who was assigned TO
watch for car thieves in the Reading
railroad yards. heard the rasping of a
file in one of the box cars and slipped
open the door TO find a man crouching
in the dark. When the man saw the po-
liceman he threatened 10 shoot, but
Heller shut the door quickly and crap
pied with the alleged thief.
Both men were strong and heavy and
about equally matched. For fifteen
minutes they scrambled about, each
breathing hard. locked in each other
arms. Then. both tired, they waited
until they regained their wind and
started the battle anew.
Finally. after nearly an hour OF effort
the policeman succeeded in choking his
adversary into submission.

LUMBER CLAN
IS NOT DISCOURAGED
Though Beaten Still Hope
for Lower Duties on
Finished Product.

While the movement for free lumber
has been beaten in the Senate, the sup
porters of lower duties on finished lum-
Der are stlll hopeful of accomplishing
important results. They expect the diff
ferentiaI between rough and finished
lumber viii be much lowered.
The effort to have rough lumber put
on the free list was defeated in vote
taken late yesterds evening. The
Senate stood SO TO . against Senator
McCumber's free lumber amendment.
The amendment split both the Repub-
licans and the Democrats. But ten Of
the twenty-five votes for free lumber
were cast by the Democrats. Fifteen
Republican insurgents came to the
front for free lumber. This was the
largest insurgent vote thus far poiled,
but the attitude Of the Democrats made
the efforts of the insurgents useless.
Seventeen Democrats OPENLY defied
the Denver platform and voted against
free lumber. They are Money, Bacon,
Bailey, Bankhead, Johnston. hamoer-
lain. Daniel, Martin, Fletcher TallS-
ferro. Foster, McEnery, Simmons, over
man. Smith of Maryland, Taylor. and
Tillman- To this strength was added
thirty-nine Republican votes; a..
The Democrats who voted Tor free
lumber were Clay. CulbersOn, Frazier.
Gore. Hughes, Newlands, Paynter,
Rayner. Shvely. and Stone.
The Republicans voting for Tree Ium-
Der were Beveridge. Bristow, Curtis.
Brown, Burlxett, Burton, McCumber,
Johnson, CumInins, du Pont, Gamble,
Crawford, La Toilette, Clapp. and Mel
son.
This vote does not settle the lumber
controversy. The question Of the diff
ferentiaI between rough and dressed
lumber is Still to be threShed out, and
it is expect ed the rates on dressed lum-
Der win be voluntarily lowered by the
Finance Committee

Anticipating that the fight is going TO
DE a hot one. the Finance Committee
has been loading on the subject. 1t is
charged that to allow the JIrefined
sugars to come into the country and 90
TO the people would be TO menace the
public health because they are not
pure enough, and in some cases. 1t will
be alleged. processes Of aduiterating
them have been developed. These
claims win be strongly denied. and the
whole process of making and refining
sugar will come in for detailed discus
sion by men who have by weeks of
study made themselves expert in the
matter
Evidence that the Republican re-
visionists in the Senate are not yet
discouraged or disheartened by the de-
feats they have sustained was pre-
sented by the appearance OF Senator
Beverage Of Indiana today with a
strong speech setting forth series of
quotations from President Taft's cam
paign utterances. in which he discussed
the tariff.
The address by Mr.. Beveridge was
an answer to utterances Of Senator Aid

no pledge to downward revision. but
merely to revision.
Consumer Myth.
when and where and by whom has
any pledge of downward revision been
given on behalf of the Republican
party?" demanded Mr.. AldTich And
Senator Lodge expressed the ike opin-
ion. with the observation that the con-
sumner was a good deal of a myth, any
how.
Mr.. Beveridge took up the revision
movement, and traced it down to date
from its beginnings years ago. He
showed that it has been from the be-
ginning a Republican movement: a
movement for downward revision, IN

That movement was a protest against
certain iniouities and injustices Of the
Outgrown Dingiey schedules.
Downward Revision.
1t crystallized into demand for down
ward revision Of the schedules which
could not be resisted. 1t brought the
| pledge of the Chicago platform. which
everybody knew was intended to BE
construed as a promise of downward re-
vision; and il was followed by the
speechss of Mr.. Taft as party candi-
date fos President, in which he repeat
edIy declared for revision downward.
Mr.. Beverage quoted from a series
