STORM WARNINGS PROPOSED.
Weather Bureau to Erect Tower fol
Display of Signals.

II plans OF Willis L. Moore. chief Of
The weather bureau. are approved a steel
skeleton tower will be erected on a con-
spicuous point Of the Washington bar
racks reservation. at the foot Of a. street,
q display red and white standard electric
lanterns and signal hsgs for the purpose
Of notifying shipping in the harbor and
vicinity of the approach OF storms. The
project has received the approval of the
Department Of Agriculture, ana will be
carried into effect unless objection is Of
Tered by the military authorities at
Washington barracks.
The most advantageous site for the pro-
posed tower is at the southern extremity
81 the reservation at the junction Of the
Potomac and Anacostia rivers. The
plans for the tower Contemplate a. skele-
ton structure about seventy-six feet in
height, occupying ground space of
twenty feet square. Storm nass will be
displayed from a mast at the top, while
red and white lantern signals will be
placed at lower elevations. The idea is
10 give timely warning of the approach
Of storms to mariners in the Potomac and
Anacostia rivers In this immediate vi
entity.
The only objection to the location of
The tower at the southern point of the
military peninsula Is that Il possibly
might interfere with the view of the
Army War College. It Is believed how
ever. that that possible objection might

on the Potomac side OF tho reservation
near the soutAern end.

SHORTAGE OF MOISTURE.
Year 1910 Driest on Record, New
York Weather Bureau States.

NEW YORK, April THE records of
the New York bureau show that the year
1910 was the driest on record in this
section, with the single exception of 1895.
In both these years the total precipita-
ton was less than thirty-six inches, or
about % per cent below normal. e.
This year may be even worse, il the
record of the first three months is any
indicator. For January. February and
March the bureau records a shortage of
nearly three inches from the normal rain
fall. although heavy snowfalIs during
these months are generally counted on to
swell the years total. The government
weather sharps are inclined to think,
judging from present indications and past
performances. that this years rainfall
will be fully 10 per cent less than last
year.

Wins CASE.
Mildred Dean Granted Pay for
Days Absence From School.
VERDICT FOR FULL AMOUNT
Justice Barnard's Opinion, However,
Does Not Reverse Decision
of Controller.

Justice Barnard. in Circuit Court No 2.
dinered with Controller Tracewell of the
Treasury by holding that the board of
education had power under the act of
June 20. 1905, to make the regulation pro-
vidfng for the payment by regular teach
ers in the public schools from their own
compensation for the services of substi-
tutes during the necessary absence Of the
teachers for the limited time provided in
the regulation.
The court awarded a judgment against
the District in favor Of Miss Mildred
Dean, a teacher in Central High School.
who had been "docked'' for nineteen
days absence last December. The
amount Of the judgment is $780, with
interest from June 2, 1910.
Justice Barnard in his opinion makes it
clear that he Is not overruling the action
of the controller, because he especia lily
points out that the cases before the
Treasury official differ from the case at
bar.
Decision of Controller.
The controller held the board had au-
thority to employ substitutes. but denied
that the teacher could farm" out the po-
sition by employing a substitute at low
er rate Of compensation.
The controller. in his opinion, said he
was unable to find any direct law which
specifically gives to the board authority
to employ or pay substitutes, but holds
that the board had implied power under
the general language Of the act to "em-
ploy" substitute teachers.
Board May Employ Substitutes.
Il am disposed to hold that the board
has implied power, IL not express power,
under the act not only to employ sub
stitues." says Justice Barnard. ''but to
provide for their payment by the regula-
ton known as No 43, for at least such
temporary absence of the regular teacher,
as is shown In this case, ccasioned by
sickness. 1, therefore, find In favor Of
the plaintiff and award her judgment for
the amount
The decision affects only this particular
case, the justice points out, because Con-
gress in the sundry civil BILL approved
March 4 last, expressly provided for the
employ and pay for substitute teachers
in the event Of the absence of the regu-
lar teachers.
The suit Of Miss Dean was filed Feb
ruary 4, "a month before the new legis-
lative enactment, and was intended to
test the legality Of the decision of the
controller. The action Of Congress made
it unnecessary for the court to specific
ally rule on the finding Of Controller
Tracewell.
