UP[|FT Of MOUNTAIN
CHILDREN IS SOUGHT
Trustees of the Southern In
duStriaI Educational ASSo-
citation Discuss Methods.

A general discussion of ways and
means to aid in the education of the
poor white boys and girls Of the southern
mountain regions occupied much of the
time of the board of trustees of the
Southern Industrial Educational Associa-
ton, which met last night at the home
of the president of the board, Chief JUS
tice Seth Shepard Of the District Court
Of Appeals. 1447 Massachusetts avenue.
The meeting was the first of the regular
monthly meetings of the board of trustees
since the beginning of the summer Mrs.
Martha S. Gielow, organizer of the as
ISOLATION, made report on conditions in
the southern mountains, where she spent
the summer, and Mrs. Mary H White,
the financial secretary, submitted her re-
port to the board.
Although the association has no schools
of its own establishment at present it
has contributed to the aid and support of
more than twenty-five schools already
established in the mountain regions of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ken
lucky. Georgia, Tennessee and other
southern states. In some cases salaries
of the teachers in the schools have been
paid by the association. and in Others
scholarships have been given pupils.
Descendants of Prominent Colonists
Members Of the association who have
visited the southern mountains declare
that there is great work to be done in
the Industrial education of the poor
whites in those regions. These mountain
people are the direct descendants of the
early settlers from England and Scot
land. Many of them could trace their
ancestry back to men who were prominent
in the colonies and in revolutionary days.
For this reason several of the chapters
of the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton in the southern states are interest
ing themselves in these people and are
offering the Southern Industrial EGuca-
tional Association the means to establish
scholarships for the young men and
women in the mountain schools
Speaking of the character of the noun
tain folk, Chief Justice Shepard, who was
in the mountains of North Carolina dur
ing the summer and visited A number of
the mountain schools. said that he had
met three young women. natives of that
region. who were direct descendants of
John Witherspoon signer of the Declara-
ton of Independence and first president
of Princeton University.

DETAIL OF DETECTIVES
IS DECLARED ILLEGAL
Mr.. TWeedaIe'S Views Regard.
ing Assignments to United
States Attorneys Office.

The question of the legality of detail
ing members of the detective force for
duty in the Office of the United States
attorney was recently brought to the at
tention of the District Commissioners,
Auditor Tweedale and Maj Sylvester.
Auditor Tweedale promptly decided that
there was no legal authority for the de-
tail unless the men were performing de-
tective duty in accordance with the laws
and rules of the department.
Maj. Sylvester frequently has COM
planned that his force was inadequate,
and 1t was pointed out that the detail Of
three men in the office Of the United
States attorney crippled the detective
force. but the details were ordered by
former Commissioners, it is stated. and
were not made at the suggestion of the
superintendent of police. and Maj Sylves-
ter therefore was powerlesS to remedy
the condition.
When Auditor Tweedale stated the legal
side of the affair and gave notice that
the detailed men could not be paid from
the appropriation for the detection and
formed duties similar to those performed
by other detectives, the detailed men
We're directed to report at headquarters
each morning. although their duties at
the Office of the United States attorney
continued.
One Detective Relieved.
Recently Commissioner Johnston di-
rected that one of the men be relieved
of the detail and ordered to resume his
regular duties at headquarters Detec-
tive Thomas B. McNamee was the one
chosen to return, leaving Detectives Cliff
ford l.. Grant and F. NJ. IIelan still at
the office of United States Attorney VIII
son.
The attorney said he would appeal to
Congress for an appropriation for de-
tectives in his office, and it was agreed
that two detectives should remain there
until shortly after Congress meets. If an
appropriation is not obtained, it is stated,
the attorney will have to do without the
services of the headquarters men
Many members of the police force look
upon the detail Al the Office Of the United
States attorney as a sinecure. Certainly.
they say. it is much easier work than
regular detective work or policing. Men
who fill the details have many more hol-
idays than those who are on regular
duty. never having any Sunday duty to
perform and getting the benefit of the
Saturday half holiday and all the legal

MRS. ALFRED WOOD HAS
CHANCE FOR RECOVERY
Condition of Woman Recently In
jured by Automobile Regarded
as Slightly Improved.

Mrs. Alfred Wood, sixty-five years old.
who is at the Emergency Hospital, suf-
fering from injuries received several days
ago by being run over by an automo bile
driven by John *. Heyl, is still uncon-
scious, but, according to the attendine
physicians. she has slight chance of re-
coVery. Since the accident Mrs. Wood
has been in an insensible condition, and
as the hours pass there seem to be only
slight signs of returning consciousness,
but she seems. nevertheless, to be
slightly better. Even if she lives, the
attending physicians say, she will be a
helpless invalid for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Wood sustained fracture of her
skull, and ten of her ribs are broken.
Her chest is so badly crushed that sur
geons have been unable to give the
broken ribs much attention. Her two
arms being fractured, the patient is in
such a condition that she has to lie upon
her back all the time.
