OF VACATION PERIOD
Public Schools to Reopen Sept.
22-LargeIy Increased En-
r0IIment Probable.

only one week more and the merry
vaca ton season which the youths of
Washington have been enjoying will be
at an end. Only seven more days; only
16S more hours; only 10000 minutes
just one little, tiny week.
Monday, September %, the public
schools of the District will open for
another year. Already the wheels of
school organization have begun to turn.
They are turning steadily, surely and,
according to those who are assisting
in the turning process. without friction.
Arrangements are nearly complete for
the opening.
Meetings Scheduled.
Meetings of officials. teachers and
supervising officers will be held this
week to discuss the work OF. the en-
suing scholastic year. 1t is expected
the enrolment this year will be con-
sfderably in excess of the enrolment Of
dict accurately how great this increase
Will be. Despite the fact that the num-
Der of pupils will probably be greater
the number Of teachers will remain the
same, as no additional salaries have
been provided by Congress.
The total enrolment for the schools
last year-including the names of all
the pupils who enrolied--was $3.50; The
enrolment October 81, 1912, was 52.761.
and was divided by grades as follows:
Kindergarten. 1876; first grade, S.Q26;
second grade. 6,277: third grade. 6.124;
fourth grade, SOL: fifth grade sag:
sixth grade 4,62S; seventh grade. 1896:
eighth grade, 1850; high school. first
year. 2,4o1: second year, 1.576; third
year. LOCO: fourth year, 7S4; normal
school, first year, 157; second year, 124.
Teachers Number 1871.
For this number there were 1871 teach
ers, exclusive of supervising officials
and others.
Practically every official has returned
to the city. and by the middle of this
week all Of the teachers are expected to
be back.
So. it might be added for the benefit
OF the $4,000 youngsters on the anxious
bench: the present indications are that
school will open without fail and on
time. one week from tomorrow.

Death From Bubonic Plague.

Surgeon General Blue of the Public
health service declared there was no
cause for alarm in the one death from
bubonic plague at Martinez, Cal.
The case is regarded simply as a sporadic
one. not in any way an indication Of
danger of an epidemic. but entirely due
to ground squirrel Infection. For sew
eral weeks the public health service has
been making plans for increased activity
against rodent carriers of the disease
on the Pacific coast. and these plans

DIRECTED TO MOVE
|TSSTORAGE SHED
Potomac Boat Club Receives
Order Which 1t Hopes to
Have Rescinded.

The shed maintained on government
property. under the Acqueduct bridge,
by the Potomac Boat Club for the storage
OF canoes has been ordered removed by
Col. w. G.. Langfitt, in Charge of the
Washington acqueduct. The boat club
officials have entered protest, and they
express the belief that the order will be
withdrawn in the near future. The club
was directed to have it's property re-
moved by September 10, but no steps
have been taken to comply with the de-
mand.
About three years ago, according to
President E. r. Gasch of the Potomac
Boat Club. the property directly under
the bridge and between the canal and
the river was overrun with grass and
weeds. and was nuisance to the club,
which has its headquarters only short
distance away. The permission Of the
War Department was sought to build
there shed for the storage of small
boats, and the club officials were referred
to the engineer of bridges of the District
Of Columbia That official, according to
Mr.. Gasch. told them to prepare an order
describing the property, and he would
sign it, which he did.
Regarded as Unoficial.
Several weeks ago United States Army
engineer officers. who were making an in
spection of the bridge, discovered the
shed under the bridge, and sought out the
boat club officials to see what authority
they had for maintaining the structure
there. Mr.. Gasch said he produced the
paper signed by the engineer of bridges,
but the engineers refused to accept it as
official because it was not written on an
official letterhead. Later came the order
from Col. Langfitt requiring the boat
club officials to remove the shed
Since the club has maintained the shed
under the bridge said Mr.. Gasch, it has
spent considerable money in filling in
under the archway and in other ways
making the place sanitary, and he did not
after the War Department has been
thoroughly acquainted with the condi-
lions.
Not in Way of improvements.
He said the shed was not in the way
Of any improvements which had to be
made on the bridge. In fact, he stated,
the repairs which were contemplated to
the piers when the board of engineers
first made the inspection have now been
made and the shed in no way interfered
with this work, which consisted mainly
of pointing up the piers.
A committee has been appointed by the
boat club to confer with Col. Langfitt
with a view to having his order rescinded
and the proper permission given for the
use of the property. President Gasch said
the shed was SO situated that 1t could not
be occupied for any other purpose, and
not even the government could find any
use for it. He is confident that Col.
Langfitt will grant the permit required to
maintain the shed in its present location.

When, three hours previous, Darrow
had arisen with the remark before
ehronicled. Jack Warford had followed
him in the expectation of long ex-
petition. To the young mans surprise
it lasted just to the hall. There OAR
row stopped before the blank door OF
an apparently unused Office. Into the
lock of this he cautiously fitted a key
manipulated it for a moment. and turn
ed to Jack with an air of satisfaction.
You have your gun with your" he
asked.
Jack patted his outside pocket.
Very well, now listen here: / am
going to leave the key in the lock.
If you hear me whistle sharply, get
in as quickly as YOU know how, and
get TO shooting. Shoot to kill. If il
happens to be dark and you cannot
make US out, shoot both. Take no
chances. On your quiclness and your

There remains only to tell what be-

tale.

tanned that this was only the most OBJ
vious result of his policy of delaying
the denouement People chad been
forced to think seriously of such mat
ters; and, when aroused, the public
conscience is right.
Darrow demanded, and received, the
large money reward for his services in
the matter. Pocketing whatever blame
the public and his fellow-scientists saw
fit to hand out to him, he and lack
Warford disappeared in command of
a small scheme. The purpose of the
expedition was kept secret: its direc-
ton was known only to those most in
timately concerned. If it ever returns
we may know more of 1T.
Eldridge went on being a scientist,
exactly, as before.
Simmons received a gold medal, a
large cash sum, any amount of news
paper space, and an excellent oppor-
tunIty to go on vaudeville circuit
Hallowell had his salary raised, and
received in addition that rather vague
breyet title of Star reporter"
Helen Warford is still attractive and
unmarried. Whether the latter condi-
ton is only pending the return of the
expedition is not known.
As for the city, it has gone back to
its everyday life, and the rifles on the
surface have smoothed themselves
away. In outside appearances every
thing IS as before. Yet for the present
generation at least, the persistence of
the old independent self-reliance of the
people is assured. They have been
tested, and they have been made to think
of elemental things seriously. For
some time to come the slow process of
Standardization has been arrested.

oblivious alike to the roar and crash
of the increasing panic and to the silen

quietly to the electric light, and turned
it on.
IT'S the biggest thing-and the sim.

WHAT" asked Jack, rousing from
the mood of waiting iEto which he had
loyalty forced himself in spite of the
turmoil outside.
"The man has perfected combined
system of special tuning and definite
electrical energy" said barrow, by
which through an ordinary wireless
sender he can send forth into the
ether what might be called deadening
or multiplying waves. You are no doubt
familiar with the common experiment
by which two sounds will produce a
silence. This is just like that By
means of this, within the radius of his
sending instrument and for a period
of time up TO the capacity of his bat

the race will exactly this combination
of luck and special talent occur. These
four pages are unique"
He laid them on the edge of the
table, produced a cigarette, lighted it,
picked up the four pages of formulas,
and held the burning match to their
edges. The fame caught, fared up the
fiimsy paper. barrow dropped the
burning corners as II scorched his fin
gers. 1t fell to the floor, fickered, and
was gone.
Jack leaped forward with an excla-
nation of dismay. The old man bound
to the chair did not wink, but stared
straight in front of him, his eyes fixed
like those of an owl or a wildcat.
For Gods sake, Darrowp cried
Jack Warford. DO you know what
you have done7o
Perfectly replied Darrow calmly.
This is probably the greatest achieve
ment of the scientific intellect; but it
must go. II would give to men an
unchecked power that belongs only to
the gods"

He'll popped just as soon as the
newspapers could get out their extras.
Monsieur Y at last struck, and both
interest and belief urged the managing
editors at last TO give publicity to all
the theories, the facts, and the latest
message from the fanatic Unknown.
The latter came about three o'clock:
ITO the People: You have defed
me, and you have doubted my power.
There is no good in you. ], who would
have saved you, now must bring about
your death as a stubborn and a stiff
necked generation. In humanity is no
more good, and of this world | desire
nothing more. Prepare within the
next three hours to appear before a
mightier throne than mine"
Percy barrow, reading this, said TO
Jack Warford, 1T is time to act" and,
accompanied by the younger man,
quietly left the room.
The reader of imagination-and no
other will read this tale-must figure
to himself the island of Manhattan
during the next two hours. The entire
population, nearly, tried to leave it at
once. When only the suburban dwell
ers, urged simply by the desire for a
hot dinner, attempt to return home be-
tween 5 and 6, the ways are con-
gested enough. ROW, stricken with the
fear of death, the human cattle fought
frantically to reach the inadequate ex-
its of the great theater of tragedy.
There was fighting in the streets, and
panic, and stark rumor, of course; and
there was heroism, and GOODNESS, and
the taking of thought. To the little
group of men in the top floor of the
Atlas Building the roar of riot came
up like the thunder of the orchestra
before the rise of the curtain. Most
of the people in the streets fed from
a danger they did not understand. This
little group in the wireless Office real
lied clearly what still and frozen dis
solution the rising of the curtain would
disclose. They were not many; and
they did not know what they were to
do, if anYhing; but they had not run
