SUGAR EXPERT is HERE
FOR CUSTOM INQUIRY
H. H. Waters to Make Inspec
tiOn for Government

H. H. Waters of the liquidation di-
vision of the New York custom house,
who is being sent to all ports of the
Tilted States to make sure that the
government is getting paid all duty
due 1t on sugar shipments and to
gather certain statistics, began his
work in this city yesterday.
Waters, who uncovered the scheme
whereby the United States was robbed
of millions of dollars worth of duties
on sugar shipments In New York city
by means of false scales watched by
bribed inspectors, says that there is no
hint of anything being wrong at this
port and that he is here merely to check
up the entries in the books of the
local custom house and compare the
same with statements he may get from
the sugar refineries.
Room rs on the fourth floor of the
custom house has been assigned to the
use Of the investigator. 1t was orig
inally stated that subpenas had been
issued to representatives of the re-
fineries to appear before him. but
Waters said he would have no one be-
fore him unless there are entries in the

TEACHERS ASK
CHARTER CHANGES
Committee Urges Continuance
of Work for Amendment
Until Election Day

The committee on charter amend
ment for the public schools has pre-
pared a letter to be sent TO each O.
the public school teachers, thanking
them for the interest taken in securing
signatures to q petition for the pro
posed charter amendment to be placed
on the ballot. Only 10000 signers were
asked for, but the teachers produced
more than 10000 names. In the letter
the committee said:
This is an earnest appeal for the
continuance Of this good work un-
secured for this amendment on
November Is, the day appointed by
the supervisors for the special cleo
tion on charter amendments.
This amendment has been pre-
pared in order to correct the de-
fects of the present charter with
respect to school funds. The pres
ent charter aimed to create a
salary fund, but its provisions are
so imperfect as to be without value.
The proposed amendment requires
the auditor annually to segregate
a definite fund for the payment of
the teachers salaries. This fund
will include all money received
from state funds, which in 1909-10
amounted to $67S,000 and which in
general supplies about a half of the
The remainder of the fund, which
the auditor must set aside as the
teachers salary fund" will come
from the annual tax levy and other
sources OF school revenue available
to the city. This allowance which,
taken together with the money re-
ceived from the state must reach
a minimum of mills on the dol
lar of the assessment valuation,
has been carefully estimated upon
the average expenditures for sal
aries in former years.
No increase in taxation for rails
ing teachers salaries is intended
by this amendment, its primary OBJ
iect being such a segregation of
school funds as shall keep the
amount allowed by the supervisors
for teachers salaries forever sepa-
rate from the money spent for other
purposes.
This amendment further provides
for an allowance of six-tenths of a
mill on the dollar of assessment
valuation, for the regular current
expenses of the school department
outside of the salaries. The re-
naming feature of the amendment
is the sharp distinction that is
made between current expenses and
permanent improvements. This dis
tinction of itself should commend
