REINSTATED TO THE BAR.
Charles A. Thatcher Wins After q
Long Fight.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, September %
After a legal battle extending through
more than three years. Charles A.
Thatcher, a we'll known attorney OF
Toledo. was today reinstated as a prac-
ticing lawyer.
Thatcher was disbarred by the su-
preme court in 1909 because Of criti-
cism Of the courts Of Lucas county.
Last fall he became an independent
candidate for one of the supreme court
judgeships, asking his election as a
vindication. While defeated at the
polls. his vote ran well up with the
successful judicial ticket. His rein
atement by the supreme court today
was brought about by reversal OF
he former Judgment against him,
three Judges elected last November
voting to overturn the original action
In the case.

BIZERTA, Tunis, September 23.-Roland
G. Garros. the French aviator, today flew
900 miles across the Mediterranean from
Saint Raphael, France, to this city, the
most northern seaport of Tunis. His time
was seven hours and fifty three minutes.
He started at $50 am. and reached here
at LAS pm.
Garross has won many of the famous
long distance races in Europe and has
taken part in flying meets in many coun-
tries. He holds several altitude records.
Garros was one of the figures of inter
est at the Belmont Park aviation meet in
1910. He was then little known as an
aviator and was flying one of the small
Santos Dumont machines which at that
time, it was thought, might revolutionize
aeroplanina. Garros returned ~ ,.u.o
where he began to fly for altitude, and
was the first man in the word o pace

did this with the aid of an oxygen tune.

Blind, in his arguments against the
proposition. Mr.. Hufty is blind.
Blind children should be sent to an
institution where, besides receiving an
education, they can be taught vocauons
by means of which they may earn a
living, he said. only a general education
could be provided III the public schools,
he declared.
The names of q number IF graduates
OF the Maryland Institute for the Blind
who have made successes in later life,
were read to the Commissioners by Mr.
Hufty by means of the system Of raised
letters. +. W. Swami, secretary OF the
association, also a blind man, advocated
the teaching of blind children at institu-
tions specially equipped for that pur-
pose.
The extension of the system for the
education of blind children in the pubic
schools was opposed by a subcommittee
of the school committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, consisting of William T.
Galliher, Myron j. Jones and Albert
Schulteis. Others who spoke at the

Lazy Unemployed-And Others.

From the New York World.
Father Donaldson OF York street, Brook
lyn. was right in saying In his sermon
Sunday that some lazy fellows let cir
wives work while they scorn low-paid
employment and wait for something to
turn up. II he suspected that the unem-
ployed are generally OF that type he was
soon undeceived. He announced that he
had a fifty -dollar-a- month janitorship
begging for an incumbent. and the pa
pers printed what he said A man OF has
parish jumped for the job and got It: all
day a pat etc succession of other men
haunted the rectOry looking for the EN-
ployment they SO badly needed, and un-
willing to believe there was none for
them.
Leave the lazy out OF account. There
are men seeking work, honestly. diligent-
ly, unsuccessfully. There is also work
begging to be done. The hands may ex-
coed the work in New York and some
other large Cities but the balance tips
the other way in the west and In the
farming regions.
No greater boon could be conferred
VI on the community. as well as upon e
seekers of work. than an organization to
bring the man and the job together.

Houston's Appointment.

The Supreme Court Of the District of

succeed Prof. William v. Tunnel on the
board Of education. but Attorney r. r.
Horner, a member OF the board. protest
ed to the court that Houston was not
eligible. in view Of his voting residence
In Chicago.
The protest was made under section
two of the school act Of 1906 which
provides. in part: That the control of
the public schools of the District of
Columbia is hereby vested in a board
of education to consist Of nine men,
bers. all of whom shall have been for
five years Immediately preceding their
appointment bona f1de residents bf
the District Of Columbia and three Of
whom shall be women"
What action the Supreme Court
would have taken In the matter can
only be surmised from the fact that
Houston's declination was accepted by
that body. It is understood that, fol-
lowing the protest made by Attorney
Horner. Justice Clabaugh sent for
Houston, the result Of the conference
being the decision of the latter to de-
cline the appointment, which all the
members of the Supreme Court had
previously approved.

ORGANIZATION Of
HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
To Come in for the Attention of
Officials Earlier Than
Usual.
REGIMENTAL ASPECT
EMPHASIZED THIS YEAR
MI. Thurston Plans New Features to
Increase Interest Of Members.
Enrolment Figures,

With the District public schools now
in good state Of organization, the
officials of the schools are already be-
ginning to turn their thoughts to those
activities which must now come in
for their share of attention. The first
of these will be the organization of
the high school cadet regiment. This
does not mean, OF course, that the
work of completing the organization
is to be neglected, but that 1t has now
almost reached a state where it will
require little attention.
Ernest l.. Tkurston, assistant superin-
tendent of schools. who has direct control
of the cadet organEation. announced to-
day that the prelifn nary organization OF
the regiment would be effected September
80 This is about a week earlier than
organization was affected last year. On
this same day examinations Will be held
for regimentai officerships. while on Oc-
tober examinations for company officer
81 ips will be held. AS nearly as poss BILE
to the first of October, MIR. Thurston in
tends to have the boys measured Tor uni
forms. He expects to save ten days IN
the uniforming of the regiment this year.

these things unit later said MI
Thurston today. He explained that this

cation was to be emphasized instead OF

CITED ASPARALLEL
IN THE OYSTER CASE
Eligibility Issue Was Raised
Against Appointment to
Board of Education.

The question raised concernisg the
eligibility OF e. W. Oyster to serve on
the board OF assistant assessors because
Of the fact that he Is a voter in another
state. does not constitute the first
instaace Of District citizens manifesting
interest in a matter of this kind.
1t was recalled today by persons ia
mil.ar with the history Of appointments
to local offices which require bona flde
residence as an eligibility qualification
that w. L. Houston, colored attorney,
who was appointed a member Of the
board Of education June -. 1912, de-
clined to accept, when the point was
made against him he had voted in Chi
cago.
The Oyster and Houston cases are re-
markably similar. Both Mr.. Oyster and
Attorney Houston have been taxpayers
here for q number OF years and claim
Washington as their home. Both have
availed themselves Of the suffrage fran
chise granted by other states.

Distribution of Commissions.

Another feature which Mr.. ThurStor
probably will inaugurate this year Will
be the distribution of commissions to the
regimental and company officers at a
large meeting, at which all officers Will
receive their commissions at the same
time In former years the commissions
have been presented at the lndlvldua'
high schools and very often without Ior-
NAL exercises. The presentation planned
nv Mr. Thurston for this year will be
simple but impressive. and will tend TO

smaller companies.
Many benefits are to be derived from
the high school cadet organization. and
he thinks that every boy physically able
to join the cadets should do So AS a
matter of fact. there is rule which re
quires that all male students of the hlgh
schools who are physically capable snail.
become members. The boys are ire
auently excused from drill. however, on a
written excuse from parents.
In this connection it has been pointed
out that some boys have not the money
with which to buy the uniforms. AS
a matter of fact in more cases than
one some boy who was really financially
unable to join the company, but was de-
sirous of doing so. had had his UNIFORM

excellent school suits for the lads.
Benefits From Drills.
Speaking of the number of benefits tc
be derived by the cadets, MIR. Thurstor
said today: Zone of the biggest things

sciously getting science through their
