TEACHERS RAISE LEGALPOINT
Comptroller's Notice Received After
School Closing, December 81.

Whether the recent decision of the
Comptroller Of the Treasury on teachers
salaries was received by the school Off
cials In time to be considered as a COM
munication Of 1910 or will be legally con-
strued as bearing the date of 1911 is the
problem which will decide the payment
in full or part of the salaries Of 200
teachers in the public schools, whose
pay vas held up by Auditor Tweedale on
the contention that they had been absent
from classes during December, and were
therefore not entitled to receive the full
amount.
Attorneys for the teachers declare they
can force the checks to be delivered
fnstanter. and Auditor Tweedale il just
as insistent that precedent has shown
that no power can move the Treasury
save Congress itself.
The point upon which the teachers
base their claim Ii that the Comptroller's
decision is not effective for December.
1910. In support Of this they state hat
the documentary record was not d-liv-
cred to the school ofncials until S O'Clock
on Saturday, December 81. This is one
half hour after the regular closing time
Of the District Offices and five and half
hours after the special holiday closing
time ordered by the Commissioners for
that day.

Eleven Of the leading residents of Fair
fax County, Va. appeared before the
boar: Of directors Of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon to urge cooperation in the good
RI ds work that that part of Virginia
has undertaken, and the delegation made
an excellent impression upon the Cham
Der through the able presentation Of their
| case by the leader, r. Walton Moore.
! The trade of the section Of Virginia
which the delegation represented, Mr..
| Moore said. should come to Washington
| as the natural market. and it is the
desire Of the people whom he spoke for
| to have it come here. The project in
wolves the building of twenty-eight miles
of durable, macadamized road. connecting
the town of Fairfax with Chain Bridge by
way Of Lewinsvfffe and Langley, and q
second road branching at Tysons Cor
| ners and coming to the Aqueduct Bridge
by way of Falls Church. The estimated
cost of this work is $4,000. and when
completed will form not only most
excellent commercial highway. but also
an enjoyable round tour for automobiles.
AS an earnest of the desire and en-
terprise of the people along its route.
the sum of $6S,j00 has been already
pledged. Of which sum over $4,000 is in
hand. Further, Mr.. Moore said, that the
portion of the road between Fairfax and
Tysons Corners. which is common to the
two roads, and is eight miles in length.
is either in course of construction or un-
der contract. and on the approach Of
good weather will be vigorously pushed.
Credit Due w. w. Long.
The people of Virginia. the speaker
added. do not come to the Chamber of
Commerce and through that body to the
business men Of Washington in any spirit
either of coercion or supplication. Their
desire is merely to lay business propo-
sition before business men in a business
way and to leave the manner and the eX-
tent of their cooperation entirely to
their sense of what should be done IN
the premises. The tardy activity which
is noticeable in the good road movement
in Virginia was explained by the i'm
petus that had been given to public works
by the constitutional convention of 1902
The greatest credit was due. Mr. Moore
said. to the indefatigable efforts Of w.
w. Long, who had put this enterprise
through with the assistance Of those
whom he had succeeded in interesting.
The members Of the directorate Of the
Chamber of Commerce manifested and ex-
pressed the livliest interest in the un-
dertakins. complimented the delegation
upon their enterprise and public spirit.
and decided to appoint committee to
study the conditions. and to determine
upon the directions in which cooperation
might be better directed. 1t was also
proposed that MIR. Moore be asked to dis
cuss the matter again before the whole
body of the Chamber at the meeting in
February.

CONTINENTAL NEWSPAPERS
SCORE GREAT BRITAIN.

Paris, Jan. 4.-The war in Stepney has
called forth a sharp roasting Of Great
Britain by the continental newspapers.
A majority Of the comments are aroused
by this country's selfish harboring' Of
anarchists and other refugees as insur-
ance against their attacks, for that is the
view widely held in Europe to explain
Englands continental persecution in Brit
ish homes.
The press of Germany, Austria. and
France lectures her severely for neglect
of duty toward the other civilized nations
and hopes she will now abandon her mon
strous egoism and joins the other pow
ers in suppressins the anarchist props
ganda The newspapers of Berlin. IN ad-
dition to criticism on these lines. pour
ridicule on London's methods Of dealing
with two burglars.
The Lokalanzeiger' prints a scornful
statement by q police onicial. generally
believed to be Herr Jagow. president Of
the Berlin police. who describes the pro-
cedure as only comparable with shooting
sparrows with q cannon. No circum-
stances, he adds. could have led Berlin
to make such an exhibition, but then
the Berlin ponce are all soldiers who
know how to act In the moment Of dam
ger. They would have considered II their
first duty to caSoh the criminals alive. not
to NOW them down with machine guns.
They would also have attempted to en-
tice the criminals out Of the builGing by
trickery or strategy.

DR.. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUT
LER, president of Columbia Univer-
sity. made an address before the
Sphinx Club, in which he attributed
the high cost of living to the gravita-
tion Of population to the big centers
the cities. He made the point that
people who were merely consuming
food stuffs and not producing them
were like people who were using up
> their capital instead of living on their
income.
He mentioned some States that dur
ing the last ten years increased but
very little in population, because of
the fact that people were leaving viii
lagos and farms to go into the cities.
AS I listened to him, the thought
occurred to me that many RAIL
ROADS ARE ADVERTISINi TO
DEVELOP THE COUNTRY along the
line Of their roads. SO why wouldn't
it .e a good idea for the STATE AU-
THORITIES to appropriate money for
advertising purposes and let the peo-
pie Of the country know the advan-
tages Of their State for farming pur-
poses. and for industries of all kinds.
Take IOWA for instance. The last
census shows that its population de-
creased instead of going forward.
THE STATE OF IOWA SHOULD
ADVERTISE. Its government could
find no better method of making
known the advantages Of the State
than by advertising.
