TAFT HAS PICKED
POSTAGE BOARD
Names of Investigators Will
Be Announced Tomorrow
or Wednesday.

President Taft took under consider
alton today the appointment of the
commission for the investigation of
all the questions involved in the pro-
posed increase of rates on second
class mail matter.
1t was stated authoritatively that
the members of the commission had
been practically agreed on. but their
names would not be announced until
tomorrow or possibly Wednesday.
There is a strong feeling that JUS
tice Hughes, of the Supreme Court,
will head these Investigators.
The commission was authorized by
Congress just before adjournment. An
amendment to the Postoffice bill pro-
viding for the investigation was Of
fered by Senator Penrose. chairman
of the Committee on Postoffices, as a
substitute for that increasing the
rates on advertising sections Of the
magazines from / to 4 cents pound.
This measure was adopted without
serious opposition, being just what the
magazines and the Administration
wanted.
The last delegation of magazine pub
NlSllGQ NhC A@NNDO
urged that such a commission be ap-
pointed. They said If a fair and full
inquiry were made into the postal de-
felt and the reasons for 1t, and showed
that the magazines should pay more for
their advertising sections, the publish
ers would cheerfully do so.
They did not want to bear all the
burden Of this deficit, however, and
wanted the investigation to show just
where the Postoffce Department could
otherwise economize.
Postmaster General Hitchcock called
on the President today and discussed
with him the postal commission.
There is little likelihood that the re-
suits of the commissions investigation
will be ready for action at the extra
session of Congress. Its report Will be
submitted to the regular session next
December, and at that time the whole
matter will come up for consideration.

SCHOOLS FOR SLOW
PUPILS, STUART IDEA
Head of Schools Also Would
Provide for the Brighter
Scholars.

Washington needs special schools for
backward pupils. Along with these
should come a similar provision for
pupils Of more than average brightness.
This is the line along which the next
step in the development Of the Capitals
school system will be taken. according
to A. T. Stuart. Superintendent Of
Schools, today.
Mr.. Stuart believes this city does not
make sufficient provision for individual
pupils needs. Having in part provided
a more elastic system of promotions
through the semester system, Mr.. Stuart
now wants to see pupils of a marked
degree above or below the average
mentality, provided for.
Strictly speaking, there is no So
called average pupil Mr.. Stuart said.
"Of course, in big public school
system, there must be grades for the
grouping of pupils nearly enough Of
the same degree of advancement as to
be under the instruction OF one teacher.
But there are, all through the city, ex-
ceptional pupils, who do not come with
in the scope Of typical schools, which
take care Of children, and who need
special coaching and more than ordinary
inspiration IL they are to develop ment-
ally into full grown men and women.
And, of course, IL We are to make
this provision for the backward pupil,
we owe II to the bright pupil to make
due provision for him.

That is what Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip B.

they have been asking 1t ever since they
were Joined for better or for worse"
on Saturday.
TO be in the Capital City without
friends and without money is hard. ac-
cording to the story told by the groom
at the charities headquarters this morn
ing He claims that at the time he took
unto himself a wife he was the pos
SCISSOR of SIS, but that before night his
money had vanished.
As a result, he was compelled to
appeal to the Board of Charities for
aid and prove that he really was a
resident of Virginia. He went to the
Postoffice Department this morning
and obtained a certified statement
that he had held the position of post
master in Bagby, Caroline county.

that he has regular work as car

no charms for either Mr.. or Mrs. Goul-
din.

Sounds much better, and they can't
get there too soon.
The loss Of the SIS which would have
landed them back in their home city Is
attributed by the groom to be due to his
liking for a celebration.
Mrs. Gouldin was formerly Miss Bette
GOuldin, though she claims that no re-
latiOnship existed between her husband
and herself. She met Gouldin in BaGby
when he was postmaster there. He

.CONFERS WITH TAFT
ON ALASKAN CLAIMS
Senator Jones Asserts Pa
cific Coast Needs
Patents.

A conference was held at the White
House today between the President and
Senator Jones of Washington over the
development of the coal lands in Alaska,
which the Pacific Coast people declare
Is necessary for their prosperity.
Senator Jones said that some action
should be taken at once to patent the
claims against coal lands in Alaska
which may now be absolutely above
suspicion. He said there were thou
sands of such claims.
Il can see no reason why all the re-
sources Of Alaska are withheld from
u.s. said the Senator. because some
Of the coal claims are under a cloud.
There are any more of these claims
against which there is no suspicion,
that should be patented and thrown
open to US.
Champ Clark Says Good-By.
THE object of my conference with the
President was to determine whether or
not 1t is necessary to secure additional
legislation to this end. or whether or
not there is already plenty of law on
the subject. We reached no conclusion,
but will talk the matter over further
at later time
Speaker-to-be Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, was one of the callers at the
White House today. He said that he
had just looked in to pay his respects
to the President. and say good-by. As
he left he said he was going out OF
town at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Where are you going?" chorused the
reporters.

Representative-elect Caleb Powers Of

Admiral Peary. whose North Pole ex-
ploration was recognized officially by
Congress just before adjournment,
called this morning 10 thank the Presi
dent for the interest the Administra-
tion had taken in his cause. He said he

paratory to the extra session, came in.
and others who have retired from pub

Virginia Wins Old
Debt of $7,185,507

The United States Supreme Court to-
day decided the famous case between
the States of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia involving the question of whether
West Virginia should pay a part of the
State debt of Virginia. owed at the time
of the secession of West Virginia.
This controversy is an old one, and
one which has been fought over in the
courts for many years. The Supreme
Court today held that West Virginia
should pay Virginia the sum of S7,1S2.
5O7. This is a little over % per cent of
the debt which the State of Virginia
owed at the time of the secession.
The percentage fixed by the court is
based upon the relative assessable value
of the real and personal property of the
two commonwealths at the time of sepa-
ration.
The court decided the case only as to
the principal of the debt Justice
Holmes wrote the opinion. No decision
was made as to the interest.
