We ought to establish a model pupnc
school system in the District.
This suggestion was not adopted by
other speakers. Senator Hoke Smith
announced. however, that ne had pre-
pared a resolution proposing a study
of the question of large or smaii
schools by commission of two sena-
tors and two representatives and pro-
posing an appropriation of $4,000 Tor
the obtaining of expert advice.
Senator Smoot declared that all evil
dence before the House and Senate com
mittees on appropriations showed a
trend toward larger schools.

eff there is to be change in policy
continued the senator, Il think 1t
should be toward the teaching of young
women in schools separate from young
men,"
II agree with that fully" remarked
the Georgia senator.
Senator Webb of Tennessee. who is a
school teacher by profession. made MS

ing that there should not be concentra-
ton in the school system.

ties in the District of Columbia, as a SUBJ
stitute for the committee amendments for

was Mr. Smiths next move. Ihe roll
call brought many senators into the
chamber, the floor having been, for an
hour practically deserted
Protest by Senator Bristow.
After quorum had been obtained
Senator Bristow took the floor to protest
against so large a high school as that
proposed. suggesting the limit should be
about 1000 pupils instead of $500. as
proposed.
Senator Newlands offered as a substi-
tute for the committee amendment pro-
vision that the 100000 to be appro-
priated should be used for the erection
of the central portion of the proposed
81. .2OO. 600 building. This amendment, he
urged, would provide the accommodations
needed within year and would leave
open for the future the question OF ex-
tending the structure so as to accommo-
date $500. Senator Smoot suggested that
the central portion. as designed. contains
the auditorium and administrative offices.
and therefore its erection would not help
in the way of providing accommodations
for high school pupils.
Mr. ,Newlands agreed to modify his
amendment so the appropriations would
be available for the erection of one Of
the wings But Senator Smoot would not
agree to that.
In the vote upon Mr.. Newlands substi-
tute the noes were declared to be In the
majority, and the substitute was lost
Then came the vote upon the adoption Of
the committe amendment, and a roll call
was demanded by Senator Hoke Smith.

Secretary Macveagh Regards
$35, ,OOO,O 900 as Ample for
Needs of Government.

Secretary MacVeagh told the House
committee on Treasury Department ex-
penditures today that $3j.OOOOOO in the

emergencies it could be run below that

There is now an actual surplus in the

tumn s6O,OOO.OOO without impairing the
working balance.
..The occa sion for a Treasury reserve,
the only actual one reserve available in
times Of stringency under the present

yised, and an automatic, orthodox reserve

Diaz Not Consulted.

has appointed Cen Banquet military
commander of the federal district
Diaz Not Consulted.
All this was done without the agree
ment and without the knowledge of
Felix Diaz. Gen. Huerta played the bold
stroke of taking Diaz at his word, given
some days ago, when he said he was not
fighting for personal ambition. but mere
ly for the removal of Madero.
News of Huertas coup was sent to
Diaz through the American embassy. 1t
was very late at night before the final
peace papers were signed by both par
ties
The first official act of Gen. Huerta in
his new capacity was to send notifica
ton to the. American embassy as to
what had been done.
THE note asked Ambassador Wilson to
a,sVise the other members of the diplo-
matte corps and President Taft that the
battle had been closed. thus ending the
danger to the lives and interests of for
eignerS.
Huerta asked the amba Ssador to permit
his office to be used as a channel for ne
gotiations with the rebels in the effort to
bring about complete understanding.
Ambassador Wilson replied by agreeing
to act as intermediary. and an exchange
of notes was begun. which terminated in
complete accord.
The formal transfer of troops from the
rebel zone took place early this morning.
In the meanwhile the government lines
had been removed and the heavy cannon
dragged back to headquarters.
Huerta Well Known Soldier.
Gen. Victoriano Huerta. named as pro-
visional governor general OF Mexico. is
<ne former commander of the north
division Of the army. He has seen much
service in the present campaign. and
last year fought number Of engage
ments against the insurrectos under
OroZco.
Huerta returned from his command
last December, and was offered post in
the war department. When the Diaz
revolt began in the capital. Huerta led
the government troops. and was named
as post commander of Mexico City when
Gen Villar was wounded.
The conclusion of hostilities in the capi-
tai revealed today that Rodolfo Reyes,
who was reported suicide. is still alive.
He was wounded during an action in the
neighborhood OF the palace. and has since
been a patient in one of the Red Cross
hospitals.
About 100 students OF the military
school at Tlalpam. who were implicated
in the plot for the liberation of Diaz from
prison. and who had been imprisoned by
Madero, were released today by order of
Gen Huerta.

Doubts Wisdom of Change.

Senator Newlands declared the limit on
the number of pupils in a school should
be 800. and that there should be ample
provisions for Fairgrounds. But, Mr.
Newlands added. Congress has bought a
site and had plans prepared for a two
thousand nd-five-hundred-pupil high school,
and he doubted the wisdom of changing
the plans now.
II recently saw the plans for the school
and it will be an ornament to the city"
Mr.. Newlands said. He thought objec-
tions by Mr.. Smith could be met by
using the money proposed to be appro-
priated to build section Of the new
school and thus have part of it ready for
use within d short time.
II have noticed the contentious in recent
years in the schools" Senator Newlands
continued. Il agree with the recon-
mendations that there should be substi-
tuted for the inexpert board of education
selected from the citizens of the District.
a director Of the schools, to be selected
by the Commissioners. and give that d.
rector an expert boar1t-expert In educa-

Florence Austin Talks of Bows and
 viO|inS.

Chief of all the stringed instru- ments played with bow is the vio- lin. Many volumes have been writ ten upon the history of the one in- strument alone, and many more upon the ancestors of it and it's orchestral relatives, the viola, violin celleo and 'double bass. These volumes take us far back into the centuries and intro duce us to many primitive instru- ments of that kind The list includes the viol, the viol bastard, the viol lyra, the viol da braccio, the viol da gamba, the viol d'armour, the viol da spalle, the viol bordone, the viol pom posa, the viol-zither and others. Ev- en more remote are the Japanese ko- kin, the Chinese Erh H Hsien, the Hin du ravanostrom, sarangi and sarun- gi, the Arabian rabab and the Bur mese thro.
 Florence Austin, the eminent American violinist who is to appear here shortly, has made special study of the history of violins and of violin bows. She is the fortunate possessor of two almost priceless vio- lins, one made by Jean Baptiste Vuil- laume and the other by Nicholas Lu- pot. Interviewed recently by a New York paper, Miss Austin said:
 Except for the Dolphin Strad, I would not exchange my previous vio- lins for any in the world. The Vuil- laume violin, which 1 usually use in public, is a masterpiece of the lut- ist's art. Vuillaume was the de- cendant of long line of violin mak- CTS. He was born in Mirecourt, France, and later established himself in Paris, where, in 1928, his replicas of Stradavarius violins brought him much fame and medals from both the London and Paris exhibitions My violin is one of those which gained him these honors. It is a wonderful instrument. Lupots career was sim liar to that of Vuillaume. He was a descendant of another family of Mirecourt violin-makers and went to Paris in the prime of his life. He made such good violins that he was called the French Stradivarius. Experts have told me have one of the best fiddles he ever made"
