HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
DEFEND LONGEVITY PAY
Protest by Association Against
Alleged Unjust Attack
by Congress.

Strong protest against what is termed
an unjust attack by Congress upon the
longevity pay schedule Of the pubic
school teachers was voiced today by the
High School Teachers Association 1t
is declared that the District appropria-
tion bill which Is now before the House
contemplates a reduction In the longevity
pay Of $4,000. or q net deduction Of 20
per cent from the pay Of every teacher.
The point is made that only the crea-
ton Of this longe .ity schedule, which was
designed to give adequate reward to
teachers for length Of service. has check
ed the steady loss of efficiency Of the
schools by the inducements it offered to
stop the migration Of teachers to other
living wage"
Cost Of Living Increases.
The teachers also asserted that the
cost of living is still soaring, while
the rewards for their work seem never
to be placed on a fixed basis. but re-
main always subject to economy

Congresses. which have to do with the

list of cities in which the maximum
high school salaries are greater than
in Washington, the list being prefaced
by the statement that while seven
teachers by law are now receiving
5000 each. the maximum for any
teacher outside this class In the schools
of the Capital city is 81 800
Figures Given.
The list of cities and the maximum sal
aries paid in each is as follows: Al
bany, $500; Boston. 5000; Chicago.
s., 500; Cleveland, 5000. with special sal
aries above 5000 for teachers of SUI

New York, $500; Philadelphia. $1,000;

ment that New York spends on educa-
ton from $1,50O,OOO to 100000 more
than any capital in Europe. with Chicago
close second. and the association asks
the pertinent question: why should not
the capital Of the nation pay its teachers

Of MORSE
GROWS MORE SERIOUS

The condition Of Charles w. Morse, the
former New York banker, now serving a
term Of fifteen years. imprisonment at
Atlanta. Ca. for violations of the ma
tional banking laws, has become more
serious. according to information re-
ceived today at the Department of JUS
tice. Attorney General Wickersham said
today he had received a report from the
medical officers who are treating Morse
at the post hospital at Fort Mcpherson.
Ca, stating that 1t will be impossible at
present to transfer Morse to the Army
and Navy General Hospital at Hot
Springs, Ark, as authorized by Presi-
dent Taft several days ago. Morse. it is
said, was growing weaker and stimulants
had been administered to maintain his
vitality and strength.
Morse's friends have been working for
his release for many months, but Presi-
dent Taft has refused to grant him par
dom His friends wanted Morse to go to
Carlsbad to take the baths. which, they
claimed, We're necessary to restore him
to health.
Plans for Transfer.
AS an absolute pardon would be neces-
sary to permit Morse to leave the coun-
try. Mr.. Taft made arrangements for
Morse's transfer to Hot Springs, where
he can receive similar treatment. This
arrangement was made on the recon-
mendation Of army medical authorities.
who advised the President that the treat
ment which Morse could obtain at Hot
Springs would be quite as effective as
that Of the Carlsbad baths Since the
transfer Of Morse was authorized his
physical condition has been steadily
growing worse.
No new application for a pardon has
been received. either at the Department
Of Justice or the White House. Morse's
friends have practically given up hope of
obtaining a pardon from the President
unless Morse's condition becomes criti-
cal and his death is imminent.
