PROBLEMS OF DAY
ARE DISCUSSED BY
BANQUET SPEAKERS
Monday Evening Club Holds
F, Its Annual Celebration
!fa at RauScher's.

Civic needs. suppression Of the loan
sharksl welfare work in behalf of men
and women, Endorsed charity to protect
citizens from interruptions agents,
greater opportunities for the consumer,
and religion as factor in public inn
provements, were subjects discussed
last night at the annual banquet and
reception of the Monday Evening Club
at Rauschers
Nearly $50 guests were in attendance,
and the deep interest in the themes was
manifest by the generous applause. The
Rev. John Van Schaick, jr., president
OF the club presided as toastmaster,
while the committee in charge was COM
posed of C. w. Skinner, Mrs. Edna
Keepe Bushee, Charles f. Nesblt, Mrs.
Ella Henderson West, and Frederick
l.. Siddons.
Speakers included the Rev. Frank
Goodwin Mrs. Medill Mccormick, Con.
gresham George f. OShaunessy, Wal
ter c. Clephane, and DR.. Harvey Wiley.
The toasts were brief in most instances,
save where the work of the past year
was described.
Speaks on Charity.
The address of Mr.. Clephane, chair
man of the charities Endorsement COM
mittee, recently appointed by the Com
missioners, was of especial interest as
rejecting the vigorous efforts now be-
ing made by the authorities to stamp
out indiscriminate charity and safe
guard the charitably inclined citizens
from the frauds and misrepresentation
now practiced by many people.
Mr.. Clephane criticised the plan of
some organizations giving concerts and
entertainments in the name of charity
and drawing hundreds of dollars from
the public when only a very small per
cent of the proceeds really goes to
charity.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman of
the welfare department of the Civic
Federation in Washington, told in an
entertaining way of the activities of
her committee in lettering the working
conditions of men and women in the
District. She explained that many visits
were made to public buildings and
places of employment at first hand,
and that much of the work was done
quietly and almost secretly.
Moral support of the church and
church members was urged by the Rev.
Frank Goodwin in responding to the
toast, Civic Religion" The pastor
stated that many reforms were launched
in which the church could not become
active, although it was highly desir-
able that the members take a personal
interest in the movement, and that the
church lend its moral support.
Pleads for Consumer.
DR.. Wileys toast was a plea to give
the consumer a square deal He said
he
If first offered a fair opportunity to sur
vlve. He stated that the word hum
Bile" was altogether appropriate in re-
1errlng to the man who pays the bills"
Congressman O'Shaunessy spoke hui
morously and kept the banqueters in an
uprOar, and incidentally urged legisla-
ton to suppress the loan sharks, or at
least TO restrict their operations.

EDUCATION BOARD
TO ASK CONGRESS
FOR MORE MONEY
Senate Committee Will Be
Urged to Restore Items
Cut Out in the House.

/ Members of the Board of Education
will attend the hearing before the Sem
ate Committee tomorrow on the Dis
trict appropriation bill, the ways and
means committee of the Board having
been summoned by President James
f. oyster to accompany Superintendent
Davidson and himself The school men $
attendance is in response to the irvI-
tation Of the District Commissioners.
Practically all the members of the
committee have Informed President
Oyster that they will be on hand when
the hearing begins at 1880 o'clock. The
committee includes Henry p. Blair,
chairman; William d. Hoover, Dr. VIII
IAN V. Tunnel, Ernest Fl. Daniel, and
PRESIDENT oyster, ex officlo. Other
members of the board probably will at
TEND out of interest in the question at
issue and one or two members of the
superintendent of schools staff are
likely to be at hand, too.
The spokesman for the schools will in
clude President Oyster, Mr.. Blair, and
pr. Davidson, who are expected to
show how the House bill, as passed, cut
out the following items reported 'fav-
orally by the District Commissioners
AL additions in the teaching staff,
twenty-five in number.
All new buildings, including the badly
needed new Central and NJ Street High
school buildings, the additions to the
Chevy Chase, Takoma, and BirnCy
schools, the Corcoran School in George
town, and an eight-room building or
Rock Creek road, near the Soldiers
Home. These buildings were estimated
to cost approximately 100000.
Three additional clerks and llbraria us
in the new normal schools.
All increases in salaries.
Besides the Items the House bill cut
out large number of smaller appro-
priations, none of them of great I'M
portance, individually considered, bat
necessary for the Improvement of the
District school efficiency, according to
the statements of both school authuii-
ties and the Commissioners.
1t is likely that the petitioners to the
Senate committee tomorrow will ask
for the restoration of all these items
and urge appropriation for every one,
although energy will be Concentrated a
little along certain lines. The additions
to the teaching staff will. be strongly
urged, for the growth of the school at
tendance makes this a necessity. Ad-
ditional school room is about equally
necessary also and the plea for new
buildings will be ferVent.
The House bill, which has gone to
the Senate, leaves the school appropria-
ton practically unchanged from the last
appropriation, state of affairs which
shows on it's face no chance for pro-
Sress, say friends of the District school
system.

THE SPIRITUAL HEGIRA"
OF THE STEEL TRUST
The best evidence that the
Stanley Committee for the inves-
tigation of the Steel Trust means
business is coming from the gen.
tlemen composing that huge
combination of capital and water.
A few days ago, ]. Pierpont
Morgan secretly left this country
for Egypt-to spend the winter,
and incidentally avoid a subpoena
to appear before the Stanley COM
mittee.
Today, Henry Clay Prick, null
ti-millionaire and the man who
first suffered from the brilliant
idea of combining the steel indus
tries of the nation, coyly let it be
known that he, too, was going to
spend the winter in Egypt.
Prick fastened to explain that
he had no desire to avoid any in

Stanley committee. No, indeed!

address. which marked the opening

peal to the manhood and womanhood
of the States and the nation for a

After reviewing the advances that
have been made In charitable and

which period he said il had been dis

itself, and after paying ma,ked
tribute to the Men and RELIGION
