Conditions.

The cost of the public school system in
the District of Columbia is high as to
maintenance and low as, to salaries. as
compared with cities of the same size,
according to a report of the bureau of
education, submitted to the Senate yes
terday afternoon by Senator Gallinger.
OF thirteen cities of approximately the
same size as Washington, chosen by the
bureau of education for purposes of COM
parison, Washington leads in the cost Of
It's school system. Among 1O3 cities with
which comparisons are made. the District
is fourth.
The report recommends that there
should be an increase of appropriations
for truant officers and elementary teach
ers SO that this city may have IAN organi-
zation that approximates the standards
of other cities"
In that connection the report says:
1.-The high cost of school maintenance
and the relatively low percentage of sala-
ries is an interesting situation. Either the
number Of pupils per teacher must be
unusually small or a large amount must
have been spent for purposes other than

Mr.. Reid said he had enjoyed his Amer

Of touch with events here somewhat. but
he said one thing struck him rather for

HYPNOTISM AIDS SURGERY.
Pain Banished and Patient Sing.
During Operation.

CANTON. Ohio, March Is -Hypnotism
was used successfully to Danish pain in a
major operation performed upon John
Lyons. teamster at Ingleside Hopsital
today. The hypnotist was Fernando
Loutzenheiser, a telegraph operator. lie
has been conducting amateur expert
ments in hypnotism, and a few months
ago astounded the scientific world by
hypnotizing a subject by telegraph.
The operation was performed by Drs.
A. G.. and r. ID. Brandt. Ii took Lout-
zenheiser just ninety seconds to put
Lyons into hypnotic sleep. While the
doctors were at work the patient sang
several popular songs. The operation
lasted twenty minutes.
When Lyons revived he said he was
free from pain, although the agony after
similar operations where chloroform or
ether is used often lasts several hours.
The doctors pronounced the operation a
success.

WESTERN UNION ANSWER IN.
Replies to Action Brought by Postal
COMPANY Before I. C.. C..

The Western Union Telegraph Company
has filed answer to the proceeding
brought against 1t before the interstate
commerce commission by the Postal-Tele-
graph and Gable Company. denying that
the postal company had any right either
in equity in law to demand the use
Of the larger facilities of the Western
Union.
The Postal. as common carrier urged
that it be accorded a fair division of
rates on messages turned over by 1t to
the Western Union for transmttal to
towns or cities where the Postal main
tains no Offices 1t cited instances of
alleged unfairness of the Western Union
i'm exacting full local rates on such COM
munications In addition to charges for
extra words indicating that the messages
had been transferred to the Western
Union.
1t is maintained by the Western Union
that it would be an unjust burden upon
1t to place it's facilities at the practical
business disposal Of its competitor.

BOTH SIDES BITTER
$1,000
Debate in. the House Over
Free Sugar Measure.
BILL PASSES BY 1873 TO 1903
Twenty -Four. Republicans Add to
Democratic Majority, Seven Dem
ocrats Among the Opponents. ~

The House passed the free sugar bill
late yesterday afternoon by vote OF
1913 to 1Os. Lined up with the democrats
in favor of the bill were twenty-four re-
publicans.. Opposed to the bill were seven
democratic votes from Louisiana and
Colorado.
At the last moment Representative
Martin of Colorado, one of the democratic
members, blocked an attempt to fix plans
for consideration of the excise tax bill
which. through taxation of income, is
expected to make up the revenue lost
by the free sugar measure.
Goes Through as Framed.
Leader Underwood was at no time EN-
barrassed by the. tactics of the opposition.
The bill went through as originally franz
ed A score of amendments were voted
down as fast as they were put up.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
republican. sought to amend the measure
by making it become effective only after
receipt of report on the sugar industry
by the tariff board; Representative Brous-
sard of Louisiana submitted an amend
ment leaving the duty as it is fixed at
present but abrogating the Cuban prefer

Nebraska, strove to have Incorporated a
clause providing for a bounty on sugar.
especially that produced from beets. All
met the same fate.
The debate was marked by occasional
flashes of extreme. bitterness on both
sides. Democratic members from sugar
producing states accused their colleagues
of working ruin to the sugar industry,
while republican progressives seized the
opportunity to give their tariff views.
Republicans Who Favor Bill.
The republicans who supported the bill
were Anderson, Davis, Lindberg Miller,
Nye, STEVENSON and Volstead Of Mime

School buildings of Washington says
the report. ARE for the most part small
buildings buildings being the
most frequent-and this naturally in
creases the cost of operation and mainte-
nance. 1t would seem, however. since
repairs and fuel for the elementary school
buildings cost more proportiontely than
in any other city, and since repairs Of
secondary school buildings cost more
than i'm any other city but one. that
economy could be brought about i'm these
particulars.
