SIX SCHOOLS HERE
FOR INCORRIGIBLES
Taught by Teachers Expert
in Psychology.

While Washington is not able to follow
the example of many cities which have
special schools for pupils mentally de-
fcient and for the more advanced pupils,
on account of limited funds, such means
as are available for the subdivision of
the students are being employed.
There are six school for incorrigible
pupils in Washington under the direc-
ton of DIR. Walter B. Patterson, super
vising principal of the Fourth Division.
To these schools are sent not only pupils
OF unbecoming conduct but those who
are backward in their studies because
of lack OF application and because they
are mentally defective. These schools
are proving successful, and are taught
by teachers expert in psychological prob
lems
As for the more advanced pupils, the
system of promotion now in vogue per-
mits them to advance as rapidly as they
choose. Often pupil is allowed to skip
a class in a subject in which he Is pro-
fcient and take up more advanced work.
While the officials regret their inability
to establish more special schools, they
believe the present methods employed in
coping with these problems are not al
together vaIueless.
Stephen E. Kramer, director of eIe-
mentary instruction, advocates the cur
tailment of the elementary course in the
washington schools from eight to six
years 1t is the plan to condense the
studies.
Mr.. Kramer has just returned from the
session Of the National Department of
Superintendent at Mobile, Ala.

MUST NOTIFY GAS COMPANY.
Inspector to See Impurities Are Cor
rected Within a Day.

Inspector to See Impurities Are Cor
rected Within a Day.
In reversing the finding Of the District
Supreme Court yesterday Justice Van
Orsdel, of the Court of Appeals, held
that when Illuminating gas furnished by
the Washington Gaslight Company is be-
low twenty-five candle power, or con-
tains impurities prohibited, the inspector
of gas and meters must send a notice to
the company.
No penalty is incurred by the default
of the company unless il fails to correct
these conditions within twenty-four
hours. If the defect exists on two sue
cessive days, the company becomes liable
to the penalty of the statute, 800 for
each day.
The lower court, whose opinion was re-
versed by the appellate court, held that
the District had to show that the alleged
defect in the gas continued for a space
of twenty-four hours. The District asked
$500 for alleged default of twenty-nine
days by the gas company.

ALIVE WHEN FATHER DIED.
Finding in Croft VIII Case Sustain
ed by Appeals Court.

That Adam Fl. Grofr, an architect and
builder, who disappeared from this city
in 1906. was still alive when his father
DtIler B. Croft. died March s, 1910, was
affirmed yesterday by Justice Van Ors-
del, OF the Court of Appeals, thereby sus-.
tanning the finding of the District Su-
preme Court.
The finding of the court has the effect
of leaving the two other sons. Diller
F. Groff and Chester L Croft. to divide
$4,000 belonging to their fathers estate
The remaining $1,000, by the will Of the
elder Groff, was left to Mrs. Rosa V.
Croft, wife of Adam H Croft, and his
two children, Emory and Edna
In affirming the action, of the lower
court Justice Van Orsdel said the record
disclosed no circumstance sufficient to
overcome the presumption that the man
was alive. In the absence OF such evil
dence, he said, the court acted properly
in directing a verdict.

JUDGMENT Is HELD UP.
Echo of the Baker-warner Suit fol
Alleged Libel


The appellate court yesterday, through
Justice Van Orsdel, directed that the
Judgment for $4,000 damages for alleged
libel. awarded Daniel W. Baker against
Brainard H Warner, be arrested on the
ground that defect existed in the plaint-
if's declaration. It failed to show that
the race track was a source from which
a public official of Washington might OBJ
tain funds for a political campaign.
Mr.. Warner was a candidate against
Col Pearre in the Sixth Maryland Con-
gressional district in 1903, and Mr.. Baker,
who was district attorney at that time,
was known to be a supporter of Col.
Pearre. In the heat OF the campaign.
Mr.. Warner, it was alleged, published
an article in support of his candidacy.
which contained, 1t was alleged, an in
ference that the bookmakers then oper-
ating at Benning were a source of
Pearre campaign funds. Mr.. Baker con-
tended this constituted a libel against
him in his official capacity as district
attorney.
He fled suit for $4,000 damages, the
jury awarding him $4,000. and Mr.. War
ner noted an appeal
Justice Van Orsdel held that the pub
lication of the article in question might
fairly be interpreted as a mere criticism
of a public officer. and as not intended to
charge any wrongdoing.

Prelate May Take Stock Devised by
Jane f. Kickham.

yesterday held that Cardinal Gibbons
may take the bequest made to him by
the will OF Jane E. Kickham. By her

Light Company were left to the cardinal,
in addition to 5000, half of which was
to be used for st. Charles College, at
Ellicott City, Md, and the other for the
benefit of Trinity Church, Georgetown.
The will was attacked by the heirs
for uncertainty in the designation of a
trust on the specification OF the use to
which the money was to be put JUS
tice Robb holds that the bequests were
for the two institutions named, and
should be applied in such manner as to
be of the greatest benefit to them.

SEEKS $4,000 DAMAGES.
Mrs. Myrtle A. Dawson Charges Car
Threw Her to Ground.

Threw Her to Ground.
Mrs. Myrtle A Dawson's contention
is that December 80. last. she boarded a
street car at Twelfth street and Penn
sylvania avenue going westward and that
at Twentieth street she signaled the con-
ductor to stop at Twenty-first street The
car stopped, but before Mrs. Dawson had
chance to get proper. safe. and secure
foothold on terra firma the car suddenly
started of, throwing her to the ground,
injuring her seriously and permanently.
These allegations are made the basis of
a suit filed yesterday by Mrs. Dawson
against the Capital Traction Company
for $4,000 damages. Attorney W. Gwynne
Gardner appears for the plaintiff.
