LANDS IN THE HOSPITAL
Young North CaroIinian's Con-
duct Reported to Father,
Who Comes After Him.

Walter Pharr. son of a wealthy farm
er living near Charlotte. N. c., had a
breezy time in this city Saturday night

had visions Of grandeur and wealth,
and the police sent him to the Wash
fngton Asylum Hospital for treatment.
yesterday his father came here and took
him home, paying a taxicab bill Of So
before the police would surrender him.
The first seen of the young man by
the police was when the chauffeur of a
taxicab took him to the station and
charged him with having refused to
settle the BILL. Pharr said he was per-
fectly willing to pay.
I'll have 100000 tomorrow morn
ing" said the North Carolinian. but
I'm little shy tonight"
Pharr's conversation resulted in his
being sent to the hospital for observa-
ton. Earlier in the night the chauffeur
had driven him to newspaper offices,
where he wanted to collect money in
advance for a story he was to prepare.
He invited others to ride in the taxicab
with him, and finally the chauffeur be-
came suspicious and turned him over to
the police.
The young man said he had been to
New York, Philadelphia and other
places and stopped here on his way
home. His father was notified Satur-
day night Of his sons whereabouts.

WANT BRADFORD'S SERVICES.
University Instructor Valuable to
Anti-Vaccination Advocates.

If the plans suggested yesterday are
carried out, Harry B. Bradford, president
Of the Authorization Society. and in
structor at Howard University, will be
taken care Of and given a salary to con-
tinue the fight against vaccination in
case such activity causes his dismissal or
resignation from the university. There
are, it is claimed, 1900 anti-vaccination-
lists in the District of Columbia. If every
one of these would give 10 cents to help
Mr.. Bradford, he would be taken care of
for one year at least, according to spon-
sors of the plan.
The two most central figures in the con-
troversy have little to say. Mr.. Brad
ford declined to discuss the plan. Not
long ago, in a short statement, he said,
in effect, that rather than be forced to
sever his relations with Howard Univer-
sity he would cease his public activities
m behalf of the Anti-Vaccination So
ciety.
DR. Thirkield said this morning that Mr..
lSradford's resignation had not been ask

PROMOTIONS REFUSED
OWING TO SMALL PAY
Teachers Prefer to Work Half
Day for 5000 a Year Than
Whole Day for $3.50.

Unless the scale of wages for the
teachers in the graded schools Is
changed. school officials fear there may
be a scarcity Of third and fourth grade
teachers.
When girl of the Normal School is
appointed as a first-grade teacher she
receives $500 a year. She works for this
salary from o o'clock in the morning
until 1890 o'clock in the afternoon
When teacher is promoted from the
first or second grade to the third, how
ever. she is compelled to work an en-
tire school day. and for it she receives
but $50 more per year than she did
when she was working a half day. For
this reason many of the teachers de-
cline promotion when 1t is offered, pre-
ferring to work half a day for a salary
of $500 a year than all day for $780, A
record is made of this fact, say the
school authorities, and 1t does not al
ways speak well for the teacher con-
cerned. None is compelled to take a
promotion, however. unless she wants 1t.

of schools, Is requiring all teachers in
the colored schools to make a written

These he intends to keep on file, so
that when promotions are to be made

not want them Much extra labor. 1t is
said, has been caused by the making Of
promotions only to have them declined.

The controller said today that during
his term Of nearly three years in his
present office it had been repeatedly
brought to his attention that some of his
examiners in their work obtain much
better results than others. Although he
recognizes that this is, perhaps, to be
expected In any line of human activity,
yet the difference in effectiveness is SO
marked and distinct that he wants to
find out by personal investigation wheth-
er or not it is due to the personal equa-

by some of the examiners
