Special Correspondence of The Star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 26. 1913.
The question of leasing a building as a
temporary high school may be presented
to the city school board at the next meet
ing of that body, it is announced. Sew
eral members of the board. it is stated,
are anxious to secure temporary quar-
tiers, while others are unalterably opposed
to such procedure, being willing to wait
until the proposed new high school is
erected.
For the past few days there have been
rumors af1oat to the effect that the board
contemplated leasing a large private
dwelling house for such purposes This
rumor was, however emphatically denied
this evening by members of the school
board.
1t was, however, intimated by one men,
Der of the board that the question of OBJ
tanning temporary quarters for high
school may come up.
The report of the joint committee on
finance and schools of the city council,
recommending the erection of building
on some site other than that at Cameron
and West streets, recently passed the
board of aldermen and will now come
before the common council for consider
alton at meeting of that body which
will be held August IL next. There will
doubtless be a contention over the pro-
posed site of the building and it may be
that the lower branch OF council will
recommend that the building be erected
at Cameron and West streets on the lot
purchased by the city for that purpose. The
board of aldermen, however, will not
favor that site, and the matter will, 1t is
expected, hang fire on the question of
location.

LUMBER DEALERS FIGHT
AGAINST DIRECT SALES
Boycott Manufacturers Who
Deal With Consumers, Sec
rotary Testifies.

CHICAGO, July 26.-Protection to its
members without armed guards" by
procuring for them freedom from sales
direct from manufacturers to consum-
ers is the object of the Northwestern
Lumbermen's Association, w. c. Hollis
of Minneapolis, it's secretary, testified
at the hearing in the government suit
against the so-called lumber trust today.
Mr. Hollis is expected to be the most
important witness for the defense. L.
C. Boyle of Kansas City, counsel for
the defendants, confined his examination
today to the purpose and history of the
Lumbermen's Association.
Sought to Secure Harmony.
What do you mean by the clause in
your constitution Offering protection to
members in the association" asked Mr..
Boyle.
Our purpose was to produce harmony
among the manufacturers and the retail
lumbermen" Mr.. Hollis replied. by
the word protection We meant II we
succeeded in getting this harmony IT
would be freedom from direct sales OF
manufacturers to contractors or Otner
consumers
by protection. did you mean you had
armed guards to see that this freedom
from direct sales was secured?"
comforting with such manufacturers to
give up the practice"
In reply to questions Mr.. Hollis as
serted that the manufactures did not
openly sell to consumers
Covers Up His Trail.
He always tries to cover up his trail,
for he doesn't want his customers to
know Of the SALE" Mr.. Hollis said. If
they did know of It, they would go else
where"
Did you in any way affect dealers
who were not in your association! Mr.
Hollis was asked.
I'VE did not. Our members had q
rule, to do as we would be done by.
and we would do nothing but fall to
recognize manufacturers selling direct
ly to consumers"
1t was brought out that the asSocia-
| ton had a membership of 2.64o retail
dealers, while about 800 other dealers in
its territory were not recognized.

Rothschilds is confined in a witness
room on the second floor of the station
instead of occupying a cell, his quarters
being exceptionally comfortable for a
person under arrest The Commissioners
looked through the building and sug-
gested that electric lights should be
provided for the upper floors as for
the lower floor. He was told by the
desk sergeant that requests for lights
had been made in the past.
Il have had very little experience in
police stations" the Commissioner said.
Il recall having been here many years
ago to see about a man who had been
arrested. / read of his arrest and wired
his SON. The son wired back for me
to get him out of the station. and 1
did so. l think that is about the ex-
tent of my experience.
II want to see things how they are"
the Commissioner said to a reporter,
telling of his visits. II thought / would
just drop in and see what was going
on. meet the men and get acquainted,
and i'll that way l can form better
idea of things"
Few of the men in the police stations
recognized the Commissioners when he
called. He soon made himself known
and introductiOns followed. He greet
ed the policemen cordially and made
them feel that he was anxious to learn
what he could of the system of dealing
" it'll prisoners.

Signers Of Articles.

The articles were signed on behalf of
the men by w. G.. Lee, president Of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and
A. B. Garretson. president Of the Order
of Railway Conductors, and for the rail-
roads by Elisha Lee, chairman Of the
conference committee of railroad man
ayers.
The members of the mediation board
returned tonight to Washington where
they will report to President Wilson. The
board will not again be called into ac-
ton unless the four arbitrators nomi-
mated by the railroads and the men fail
to agree on fifth and sixth to complete
the arbitration board. In that cOntin-
gency the mediation board will select the
two necessary members.
Lee Presents Letter.
Following Chairman Lees statement
today that the railroads waived their
claims against the men in order to pro
tect. the public" President Lee of, the
trainmen presented to the mediators a
letter setting forth his views concerning
the demand of the employees that the
railroads grievances should not be arbl-
Irated.
Proposals were submitted to each of
the eastern railroads about January s.
1913" President Lees letter read in
part, land the roads authorized the man.
ayers conference committee to represent
them on those propositions, and. SO far
as We were advised, on nothing else
I'm all the negotiations up to the enact
ment of the Newlands act there was no
suggestion by the managers that other
matters would be introduced for settle
ment.
Traces Course Of Bill.
Meantime a movement for a change
in the Erdman act had been participated
in by both parties, the amending bill
was prepared and introduced in the Sem
ate, and there was a hearing on it be-
fore joint committee of the Senate and
House June 20, at which the railroads
and the organization were officially rep
resented. A few days after the bill pass
ed the Senate and was pending in the
House. a conference was he'd with Presi-
dent Wilson, at which the same interests
were more largely represented.
Neither at the joint committee hear
ing nor at the White House conference
was there any hint of the railroads in
tention to bring up other questions for
arbitration. Not until July 16. the day
after the passage Of the Newiands bill,
was there any new grounds of disagree
ment introduced by the railroads.
Rights Are Recognized.
There has never been a time when we
had even the remotest idea that the law
covering arbitration was enacted for
the benefit only of the employees. On the
contrary. we recognize the right Of the
railroads to invoke it's provisions at the
proper time and in the proper manner.
but we certainly will not concede the
employers risht to sweep aside the
prescribed method of presenting grew
ances which is through the officers of
the individual railroads to the regularly
constituted organization committees on
their lines"

16 Centuries of Official Christianity

One of the most curious incidents of

celebration OF the sixteen hundredth an
niversary of the edict of Milan, which
first gave the Christian religion official

civilized world The Serbs had nothing
to do with that edet, for at the time
they were an obscure tribe in Galicia.

about Christianity, and ii was not until
three centuries later that they came

born at Nish, which is now city Of
