COLORED HIGH SCHOOL
GOES TO FIRST STREET
Protests Against Howard Uni.
versity Sites Recognized
by the Commissioners.

The Commissioners have decided to
recommend for purchase the fofty-tilou-
sand-dollar site on list street northwest
between n and o streets for the erection
Of a new colored high school. Up until
yesterday It was thought the Commission
ers would recommend a site on Howard
University grounds for this purpose. The
order to recommend the LIST street site
puts to an end one Of the strongest pro-
tests against q school site ever made In
this city.
The adverse sentiment against the pur-
chase OF site on the Howard University
property reached point this week where
the telephones In the Offices of the Conn
missioners were busy almost constantly
all day long.

Of the roads often rendered 1t impossible

Thursday. letters and protests we're re-
ceived in especially large quantities, and
one batch of protests was sent down to
the Commissioners from Senator CALM

LIST street site. The board Of education
adopted the views Of the committee The

was thought to be In favor OF the LIST
street site. Later Commissioners Judso,
visited the sites with members Of Con-
sentiment in the committees OF CONGRESS
In favor OF the Howard University.
Objections to Site.
Thereupon colored members of the
board Of education and hundreds Of other
colored men and women began to food
the Commissioners, the board Of educa
ton and members Of Congress with pro-
tests against the Howard University site
the protests said that the Howard Uni.
versity site was far away from the cen.
ter Of colored population. and that there
would be all sorts OF dangers and incon-
veniences attending the establishment OF
public high school so close to q uni
versity where older students attended and
lived. These protests kept up until yes
terday, increasing In volume hourly.
Many colored residents Of the city called
