Washington Singers
Go to Philadelphia

Headed by Albert Lepper, president
of the United Singers, about one hun
dred members of the Arion and Saen
gerbund German singing societies will
leave Washington Sunday morning
to attend the Saengerfest OF tho
Northeast Saengerbund to be held in
Philadelphia. June 90, to July 4. The
chorus of Washington singers will
be accompanied by many friends and
relatives who will leave the Union
Station on special train for the
Quaker City at II o'clock.
Among the singers are members of
many OF the famous choruses of the
local organizations. which have re-
peatedly won first honors at different
German singing affairs in various
cities. The singers will remain in
Philadelphia until next Saturday
night. On Monday and Tuesday nights
they will take part in the two grand
concerts of the Saengerfest.

CAPTAIN OYSTER
MAY REMAIN AS
HEAD OF BOARD
H. P. Blair Is Expected to
Be Absent From City
for Weeks.

Capt. James F. oyster may continue
temporarily as head of the Board of
Education following the meeting Mon
day. at which a president will be
elected in the ordinary course of pro-
cedure. Henry p. Blair, whom Mr.
oyster has urged as president Of the
board, expects to leave the city for
about six weeks following tne first of
the month, and Captain oyster may
consent to be reelected president for
the time that Mr.. Blair must be out
of the city.
and board members keep on urging Mr..
oyster 1t is possible that he will change
his mind about resigning from the
Board of Education in a couple of
months and continue serving The pub
lie schools. II Mr.. Oyster does agree
to stay on, the demand that he serve
another term as president will be in
sistent.
Il think that Mr.. Blair Is the logical
man to be president" said President
oyster today, "and l have promised
myself to leave the board as soon as
he Is elected. But he must go away
for quite a number OF weeks. and 1t Is
just possible tnat l might serve ie"
weeks longer l am not sure whether
a new President would have to be
elected for these six weeks or so, but
guess the law is that the newly con-
stituted board must proceed to or
ganize."
Demand that Mr.. Oyster stay on the
board comes from all sources. The col
ored school teachers are just as urgent
for his continuing service as the peda-
gogues in the white schools.

William T. Houston, the colored law
yer, recently named by the justices OF
the Supreme Court of the District for
membership on the Board of Educati9n
has served notice that he is ineligible
because he has not lived five years in
the District prior to appointment, as the
law provides. With Miss Mabel T.
Boardman's refusal to serve this leaves
two vacancies on the board. Justice
Barnard will not be back in the city until
the end of July, and 1t Is barely pos
sible the justices will MI the existing
vacancies then, although 1t Is more
likely that they will go over until fall.

SQARGIT !
OF Leather Causes An AID
vance in Price of Shoes
in America.

BOSTON, Sept. 13.-The whole
sale price OF shoes has been advanc-
ed 10 per cent to 20 per cent prac-
tically all over the country, the in
'eyitable result of further advance
in the price of leather and there is
no indication that the top has yet
been reached. There is practically
no prospect of lower prices for hides.
1t is not so much question of an
absolute shortage as lack of sur
plus of both hides and leather.
Beef scared to. record prices but
has recently been easing Off. With
rising prices people curtalled their
consumption of meat. perhaps 10
per cent to 30 per cent, but this has
not been true of leather. although
the high cost has tended to make
buying conservative. People can do
without beef, but leather is ne
cessity for which there is no salts
factory substitute.
The slaughter of cattle at the
chief packing centers for seven
months has been 100000 less than
it was a year ago. This means
a decrease of 100000 sides Of
leather so far this year. There has
been decrease of 100000 head Of
cattle in this country in the last de-
cade.
Both tanners and shoe manufac-
turers have done their utmost to
stem the rising tide of prices all
along the line. Tanners even now
are not getting prices for leather
commensurate with the cost of
hides, and shoe manufacturers have
advanced prices to retail dealers
with much reluctance.
Tanners, shoe manufacturers and
dealers are all against high prices.
The head of large leather house
says: II detest these high prices,
but instead of growing easier the
leather market is andeniably tend
ing upward. Tanners are paying 10
cents for native steer hides, and
there is no reason why packers can
not put them to 81 cents. Where
/ will stop no one can tell"
Surplus stocks of leather have
been well cleaned up in the last year.
You can't dig up bargains any more.

1t might be found advisable to build

1T is not Impossible that the

FARMER NEEDS
SOME CREDIT
In Order to Improve His
Lands and Cultivate
Them Well.
CEN TR AL ORGANISM
OF State Mortgage Loan
Banks is Advocated by
Mr.. Conant.

DETROIT, Sept. 13.-The adyisa-
bility Of forming a "co-operatiye DEM
ocracy of state mortgage loan banks,
united into a powerful central or
ganism, for strengthening comercial
banking credit. was recommended
for consideration OF the American
Bankers Association today by Charles
A. Conant. The subject of Mr. Con-
ants address was "Land aud Agri-
cultural Credit"
Mr.. Conant began by referring to
the pressure of population upon food
supply and the necessity of increas-
ing the area of cultivated land by i'm
proved methods of extending credit
to the farmer. He pointed out that
bitter experience has proved projects
for issuing money upon land to be
unsound, but that Europe has solved,
the problem of the ready transfer
ability of mortgage loans and low
rates of interest to the borrower by
taking a leaf from the experience of
the limited liability company in the
issue of bonds and shares.
''In Europe he said, the man
who has money to lend upon mortgage
is no longer obliged to make personal
examination OF the property, nor to
risk his capital upon a single invest
ment in non-transferable form. He
has only to buy negotiable bond
coupon or registered, according TO his
preference,-which he can sell as
readily as the bond OF the government
and with even less risk OF fluctuation
in its price. He has behind the bond
not merely the land, the source OF
all wealth, but he has the pledge of
stock company that they have ex-
amined the properties upon which
loans have been made, that all such
properties are held in the aggregate
as assets against the outstanding
bonds, and that the company has in
addition an adequate capital to cover
any unexpected shrinkage in the value
of the property behind its bonds.
THE bonds issude by the Credit
Foncier of France under this sys-
TEN are made attractive to the Dor
rover by the system Of amortization
by which they are paid OF and by
the long terms over which the amor
tization extends In the loans made
by the Credit Foncier of France, more
than three-quarters are for periods
of fifty years or more, so that the
amortization charge involves only a
small addition to the annual interest.
THE rate OF interest charged upon
loans during the last few years by the
Credit Foncier of France has been
4,3o per cent For loan repayable
in thirty years, the semi-annual pay
ment required has been 2 1882 per
cent. or just under three per cent.
making. the two payments for the year
eqpal to 1864, or just under six per
cent. Where the loan is for forty
| years, the sum Of the two annual
payments falls TO $3.50 per cent. and
for fifty years to 1882 per cent. 1t
may not be possible to float bonds
in this country at a rate so low as to
permit loans upon mortage at 400
