TO CONVINCE THE SHOPPER.
Proposed to Demonstrate That Prices
Are as Low as Elsewhere.

A campaign to educate the shoppers OF
Washington so that they may realize the
opportunities offered by the merchants
in this city and not go to other cities to
make their purchases will be begun by
the home trade committee Of the Retail
Merchants Association. AT meeting Of
the committee yesterday afternoon plans
for the campaign were outlined. NJ. A.
Leese, chairman Of the committee,
pointed out that the criticism made by
some shoppers that prices in Baltimore
were lower than in Washington shops
Was not borne out by the facts. Mr..
Leese said:
For the same class Of articles no city
In this country can undersell Washington.
General prices in other cities may be
lower. but when comparison of the
class Of goods is made it Is always found
that the latter Is In favor of the WASH
lngton retail men,.
w NJ Balderson and Milford Workman
are assisting Mr.. Leese in the educational
campaign.

BRINGS SUIT
FOR LONGEVITY PAY
Test of Controllers Decision
Affecting Teachers Excluded
by Act of 1906.

Another decision Of the controller Of the
Treasury adverse to the teachers in the
public schools has been called to the at
tention of the District Supreme Court
This time the court is asked to deter
mine what teachers in the high, normal
and manual training schools are entitled
to longevity increases.
The question is raised in a suit filed
late yesterday afternoon by Miss Sarah
p. Lynch, high school teacher, to re-
cover 500 due her from the District Of
Columbia, if the court should determine
that she is entitled to the benefits Of the
longevity acts. The case of Miss Lynch
is filed by Attorney A. s. Worthington
as a test case. and involves all persons
included in group A. class 6. Of the public
school teachers.
Excluded by 1905 Act.
Congress in 1906, Mr. Worthington ex-
planned today. granted longevity in
creases of 500 per annum to certain
teachers, according to their previous ex-
perience. This increase was to apply ia
teachers receiving 81 600 and was to be
added annually until the maximum pay
of 1900 was received. Last year Con
gress passed q new law. which, the at
ers who had been excluded by the terms
of the previous enactment. For this pur-
pose only, Mr.. Worthington claims, was
the subsequent act passed.
Rendered Adverse Decision.
The controller, it is stated. when asked
for a ruling based on the second act,
held that it did not apply to the teachers
who were excluded by the 1906 enact
ment.
This is the question which the court is
now asked to decide.
In her declaration Miss Lynch claims
that a. proper construction of the act will
entitle her to receive longevity increase
now due amounting to $40 and that her
salary in the future should be adjusted
to meet the requirements of the law OF
Nav 1S 1910.

RETURNED FROM PORTLAND

After a six weeks visit to Oregon,
Ed Sunday of Edmunds, has return
ed home. He was with his half
brother, Roy Heizer. at Portland,
where an operation was performed
for a very unusual disease, a tumor
on the liver. About a third of that
organ was removed, and the patient
rallied nicely after the operation and
is so far doing nicely. The operation
was performed by Drs. Sifton and
O'Day of Portland. Mr.. Heller
lives on the Hood River ranch of
Will Sunday, the evangelist. While
at Portland he met Engineer Ho-
facker and Frank Dodge, who are
making good money on the North
Bank extension of the N. P. into
Portland. That city is lively with
building operations, but Spokane,
Tacoma and Seattle are all quiet in
a business way, says Mr.. Sunday.
