SAY TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR GIRLS IS NEEDED
Commissioners Ask Congress
for Enlargement of Present
Reform School.

| II Congress provides for the enlarge
ment of the Reform School for Girls, in
accordance with recommendation of
| the board OF charities, the problem Of
providing in the District an adequate
4 training school for white girls will have
been solved. according to the belief Of
District officials.
| AT present the inmates Of the Reform
School for Girls are colored girls. The
| law permitting the commitment OF
white girls to the institution is still
operative. but lack of facilities has led
to practical abandonment Of its appli-
| cation.
Believing that if additional buildings
We're provided the school could readily
| be arranged for the care of white girls,
| the Commissioners have included in their
annual estimates an item for the en-
largement Of the institution. Plans for
| the additional structures already have
| been prepared.
Woman's Union Advised.
The Woman's INSTRUMENTATION Mis-
sionary Union of the District recently
| has taken up with the Commissioners the
question Of providing a training school
for white girls. Commissioner Rudolph
has directed that Mrs. Laura F. Olney,
chairman of the union. be informed of
the steps being taken to provide for the
enlargement of 1.-The Reform School for
Girls.
According to George s. Wilson, secre-
tary of the board Of charities, there have
been commitment of white girls to the
school IN the East, but the number of
commitments became so small that the
institution has become known as a school
for colored girls only. 1t is his belief
that the securing of additional buildings

ALL MUST HAVE WIRELESS.
Law Affecting Passenger Steamers
Now in Effect.

Under an act OF Congress all seagoing
passenger steamers carrying more than
fifty passengers now must be equipped
with wireless telegraph apparatus or be
liable to fine of 5000. The act, which
was passed June "a, 1910. was made eff
fective from yesterday and inspectors
shortly will visit the passenger carrying
ships to see that they are complying with
the law Acting under the authority Of
Congress the commissioner of navigation
some time ago issued regulations govern
ing wireless equipment and copies Of 1t
were sent to all steamship lines.
The wireless apparatus aboard the
steamers must be capable of transmitting
messages to a distance OF not less than
100 miles and manned by an operator

s5icts. and collectors of customs are
authorized to enforce the law. To Sc
cure certificates wireless operators must
pass examinations at one of the govern
ment navy yards or naval stations. The

for the operation of wireless apparatus
shall be furnished at all times while a
vessel is under way, and give notice that
after January 1, 1912, ships must pro-
vide storage batteries or other auxiliary
for the equipment in case of an accident

HARD TO PREDICT NOMINEES.
Prince Georges County to Try Direct
Primary Plan.
of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, July 1, 1911.
The selection of candidates for the Of
fees in Prince Georges county this sum
mer under the direct primary system
makes a prediction as to the nominees
practically Of little value, as the execu-
ton Of the law will be in the nature of
an experiment. Several months ago the
organization and anti-organization forces
of the democratic party held conferences
and practically agreed upon certain cam
didates whom they proposed to back dur
ing the primaries. The conferees were
for the most part the same men who
have been prominent in the affairs of
Prince Georges county for the last
twenty years.
The conference IN Hyattsville July 4 is
to be participated in by organization men,
and some hot shots are being prepared
for the INSTRUMENTATION people. More
than loo invitations have been sent out,
and luncheon is to be served. Mean
while the rank and file of the democratic
party is wondering what is to become of
the party as the result of this wrangle
between men striving to secure control
Most of the aspirants for Office are iden-
tilted with either one or the other faction
There are exceptions to this rule, how
ever. Fred Binger of Queen Anne dis
trict announces that he is a candidate for
sheriff and Is being backed by neither of
the factions. Edward A. Fuller of Hy-
attsvlle declares that he would not ac-
cept the Endorsement of either faction If
rendered him. He is candidate for
county treasurer. The organization is
supporting DR.. Louis A. Griffith of Up
per Marlboro, and the ants are back Of
Richard j. Swami of Spauldings district
Richard Whitley of Hyattsville. Benja-
min II. Hoffman OF Chillum and Jackson
H. Ralston of HyattsviIle are understood
to be candidates for the house Of dele
gates who have not received the indorse-
ment of either faction.
Under the old convention system it was
possible for half a dozen men In the
county to control the naming of the
candidates through manipulation at the
county convention. Under the direct pri-
mary system every candidate is supposed
TO have an equal show, and the voters
are given the privilege of selecting from
Il number Of men the candidates they pre-
fer to have on the ticket. The situation
in the county Is extremely interesting on
this account. and there seems to be an
impression that some surprises may be
sprung on both factions at the primaries
The general impression prevails in Prince
Georges county that the republican lead
ers will strongly urge the placing of only
the names Of state officers on the ticket
the Wilson ballot law prevails.
