BRITISH CRAZY
OVER Big COON

London, June 1s.--Jack johnson,
champion pugilist, is the star corona
ton visitor. The champion pugilist has
been advised that at Ascot he will find
his only chance to be presented to King
George. Whether or not this happens,
it is almost certain that Johnson will
divert attention from the king himself
at Ascot.
Indian potentates. foreign royalties,
colonial premiers all are completely
overshadowed since the black cham
pion reached the British metropolis.
Johnson was recognized while walk
ing near Leicester square yesterday,
and the crowd that quickly surrounded
him blocked traffic. The police did not
know what to do. Johnson's admirers
kept gathering from all directions and
finally demanded q speech from him.
With great good humor Johnson pro-
ceeded to tell them how happy he was
to be in London again.
I'm all my travels I'VE not seen a
place that suited me so well, he said,
grinning widely.
The crowd. still growing, spread into
the side streets; taxis, omnibuses and
drays were held up in sold mass for
hundreds OF yards back. A policeman
begged Johnson to take taxi. He
feared that the crowd may grow UNI
manageable. The champion good nat
uredly shouldered his way to a cab.

while the crowd cheered wildly and
struggled for near view of him. When
the cab drove of many ran after it.
while Johnson waved his hat to them.

LOCOMOTIVE BOILER
INSPECTION BILL
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In The Times Of even date in speak
ing of the locomotive boiler inspec-
ton bill you say under the terms Of
the Mann act" Now, had not Senator
Burkett, who introduced the bill, fol-
lowed it up it would never have seen
the light of day. Congressman Mann
during the whole second session Of
the Si6ty-first Congress opposed the
bill, and though two-thirds of his
committee were in favor of reporting
the bill out, Mann dragged the hear
ings until Congress adjourned.
Last fall when Mann was advised
by Mr.. Mulcher, of the Rock Island
railroad, to report the bill out, then
same time, the railroads had 1t all
fixed They entered into semi-secret
deal with certain labor officials to ad-
vocate increased freight rates and in
the deal was put in the boiler inspec-
ton bill.
This agreement embodied that the
railroads were to approve those to be
appointed, which the officials of the
locomotive engineers, locomotive fire.

railroads and the officials of these
orders got together as thick as two
peas in a pod. After this agreement
was entered into the railroads with

TINE FOR SENSIBLE SCHOOL
MANAGEMENT.

The utter absurdity of the system
by which the public schools of the
District are managed could not be
more forcefully demonstrated than by
the controversy which has just arisen
over the heating plants in the Douglas
and Abbie Simmons buildings.
This is what happened:
The District Commissioners, who
have charge of school construction and
repairs, removed the heating plants
from the Douglas and Abbie Simmons
schools.
The Board of Education, which has
charge of the academic work of the
schools, knew nothing OF the removal
of the plants, and so ordered school
work to be resumed at the two build
ings in question yesterday morning,
lust as it was resumed in other build
ings after the Easter vacation.
The principals, teachers, and pupils
arrived to find the buildings cold. The
condition was reported to the super
intendent, who then, for the first time,
discovered the heating plants had been
taken out.
1t was necessary to dismiss the
pupils, who will remain out of school
until the buildings can be heated tenn
porarily unless the elements send
warm weather.
Such a performance as this is moth
ing more nor less than ridiculous. It
makes a joke of. our public school
service and imposes upon taxpayers
and upon the school children an in
Justice nothing short of outrageous.
The fault in our system lies in the
division of responsibility and au-
thority. The Commissioners have GER
tain powers and the Board of Educa-
ton has certain powers. As long as
this arrangement stands each will al
ways believe the other is overstepping
its authority. Endless controversy is
certain to be the result; incidents like
that of the heating plants are certain
to be frequent.
One body-either the Board of Edu-
cation or the District Commissioners
must have complete control of all
phases of school management if the
schools are to render the service for
which thew are maintained.

SAYS KOPELIN MISSED
CRUX OF ARGUMENT

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Referring to my communication which
appeared in The Washington Times of
April IA, under the caption, Reaction
Against Socialism" and the criticisms
of the same, by Mr.. Louis Kopelin in
a subsequent issue of that newspaper, 1
remarks thereto.
Since in all debate the opening speaker
has the privilege of closing I feel justi-
fled In informing my esteemed critic
that / regret to learn that ne talIed 10
grasp the crux of the meaning OF my
statement relative to the recent munic-
ipal election in Milwaukee,, In which
the socialists met a decisive defeat.
Suffice il to say that my motive in
writing said article was simply TO en-
phasize the fact that as socialism was
on trial in Milwaukee, and as that city
tion," the result OF the recent election
there is not only gratifying to the lovers
of good government, but the same sub
stantiates my previous statement to the
effect that wherever socialism is weigh
ed in the balance 1t Is found wanting.
The fact that Socialism has made tre-
mendous gains in the recent election"
proves nothing, inasmuch as the same
was often said by the adherents and
followers of knownothingism, Mormon
ism, Greenbackism, and Populism, the
doctrines of which were not imported
from the effete governments of Europe
Some of these political parties attained
an amazing growth in, the United States,
and during their existence swept many
political freaks into municipal, State,
and Federal offices. Half of these par
ties, however, were excoriated from the

CONSIDERING CHILDREN'S
WELFARE.

1t is good to see exerted in behalf of
children the interest and energy which
mark the work of the international
Congress on the Welfare of the Child,
whose second meeting opened in Wash
ington today.
Organizations of private citizens have
done much to improve the condition of
children of all classes in recent years,
but why should not the National Gov
eminent participate in this noble labor
1t maintains bureaus to promote the
welfare of plants and animals, while
its efforts in behalf of youth are
meager. If Congress would pass the
bill creating the proposed children's
bureau in the Department of Com
merce and Labor-a measure which
failed of passage at the last session
the Government would be somewhere
near the front in the battle for the
boys and girls of today.
The delegates in attendance upon the
congress are among the most represen-
tative men and women in the country,
and they are given hearty welcome.

LOWER BID OBTAINED FOR
ASPHALT WORK.

If you will look closely you will
discover a silver lining in the cloud
which blotted out the municipal asphalt
plant during the closing days of the
last Congress. The District didn't get
the appropriation to permit it to go
into the asphalt paving business, but
the close margin by which it was
beaten has produced good results. OBJ
serve the bids for the new asphalt con-
tract. The lowest was $l.6S per square
yard. The District is now paying,
under its old contract, Sl75.
The principal reason the Commits
sioners and the members of Congress
most interested in District legislation
attempted to get an appropriation for
a municipal plant was the high rate
paid under old contract. Chairman
Tawney of the House Appropriations
Committee declared on the floor of the
House that the District was in the
hands of combination of asphalt paw
ing companies, which had increased
prices. Evidently his words have pro-
duced results.
These results, however, do not by
any means justify the abandonment of
the municipal plant project. Even the
latest price is higher than the District
would have to pay if it was doing its
own paving, according to the En-
gineer Department.
1t is announced the Commissioners
will again ask an appropriation for a
municipal asphalt plant, and that they
will lay before Congress detailed in
formation as to paving costs under
both systems. Last winter the appro-
priation was beaten because members
of the House did not feel that they
knew enough about the subject. The
Commissioners are adopting the wise
course in making this objection impos-
sible in the future.

THE MOVING PICTURE IN THE
WINE RIOTS.

The moving picture machine has
turned states evidence. For a weary
while, at intervals, the complaint has
gone abrosd that this ingenious con-
trivance which presents life so
graphically is exercising a banal in
fiuence on the plastic minds of the
young. Many of the films were al
legged to paint the Indian too richly
scarlet and cross the borderland which
divides the risque from downright in
decency.
City councils in conservative COM
munities have spent many anxious
evenings witnessing performances in
person that they might know just how
wicked were some of the plots and
poses thrown on the alluring screen
The censors were in despair.
And now out of the tense hush OF
doubt and apprehension comes start

They insisted with more force than
prudence that the wine of Champagne
should bear a champagne label. Some
