to be going right ahead with their work.
The sympathetic feature of the strike
was what stopped work on all the con-
struction jobs in the city in all the allied
trades Now that this feature of the
strike no longer exists, resumption of
work by full forces of men is expected
today. Resumption of work was to have
begun Saturday, but few of the strikers
returned to work on account of the short
notice.
There still is some confusion as to the
status of conditions since the signing of
the agreement by the unions and the in
dependent contractors, but the general
belief is that while the strike is still on
against the Master Builders, at the same
dine this morning building conditions Will
be about the same as before the strike
was called.

HELSBURG FUNERAL
WILL OCCUR TODAY
Question of Suicide or Accident to Be
Investigated by Coroner

The body of Gustavus Helsburg, aged 80
years, who died Saturday afternoon in the
Hillman hospital, following injuries re-
ceived from n fall from the third story

noon at o'clock, following funeral serv-
ices in Warner & Smileys private chapel.
The funeral services will be in charge of
the Birmingham Aerie of Eagles
The death of Helsburg was brought on
by peculiar circumstances. Some of his
brother workmen IN the Richter Tailoring
company stated that on Saturday morning
Helsburg after taking liberal mouthful
OF strong medicine, jumped up on a work
mans table and leaped out of the third
story window. His flying body struck
the telegraph wires. breaking his fall but
he rolled off and fell to the ground in a
stunned condition. He was at once re-
moved to the Hilman hospital, where he
died few hours later.
Other workmen in the Richter Tailoring
company, however assert that Helsburg
fell out of the window by accident, and
say that Helsburg was utterly devoid of
suicidal intent.
The matter of whether Helsburgs g
death was a suicide or was an accident
will be definitely thIeshed out befort Act
ing Coroner Russell when he INVESTIGATES
the matter.

Justice OF DISTRICT
School LAW ATTACKED
Tuition Regulation Unconstitutional,
Says Takoma Park Citizens
Association.
PROTEST TO co TO CONGRESS

A protest against the law passed by
Congress In 1919 requiring nonresidents
Of the District to pay tuition for school
privileges unless government employees
or taxpayers in the District, on the
ground that It Is unconstitutional by rea-
son OF its being class legislation. was
adopted at the meeting Of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association last night
w. A. Colcord drew up the protest and
presented It to the association. Copies
OF II will be sent to the Senate and
House District Committees.
This Is said to be the irst step in a
general attack on this law by members
Of the Virginia and Maryland delegations
in Congress. The protest reads, in part,
as follows:
According to an act Of Congress passed
June 8, 1872. all residents living in the
suburbs Of Washington over the District
line. though regularly employed In the
District, are denied public school
privileges unless they are engaged in
public duties in the District, or pay
taxes levied by the government Of the
District OF Columbia IN excess Of the
tuition charged hereunder for nonresi-
dent pupils.
This is class legislation. and in its
very nature obnoxious 10 every lover OF
equal rights and fair play. It should be
repealed, or so modified as to grant TO
suburban residents over the line who are
regularly employed or engaged In busi-
ness in the District, equal school
privileges with all government employees
who are likewise situated. As II stands,
the law is a giaring violation Of the
American principle of equality for all
before the law.
IF anything under the sun in re-
public ought 70 he free TO all its citizens
IL is its public schools. We must GER
tainly have come to a strange pass when
the privileges of the public schools at
the Capital Of the Nation must needs be
thus restricted and denied to those who.
TO all intents and purposes, are residents
of the District and Of the city OF Wash
ington."

of abduction and of larceny.
Before United States Commissioner Ed

Detective Burlingame, Donyelle told his
story. According to Detective Burlin-
game, who brought the little girl back to
Washington yesterday, the story Donvele
had told about his parents and brothers
and sisters having died within year
was a lie: that he spread that story
broadcast so public sentiment would be
aroused to to the point of helping him
obtain position: that he fondled the lit
tie girl because he could not control his
supposed love for her
The Philadelphia police were indignant
al the story told by Donvelle. and want
ed to hold him under the White Slave
law. but found he had violated no sec

The little girl cried and wanted TO come

their disappearance that morning. Don
velle passified her by a car ride about
Baltimore. That afternoon they took a
train for Philadelphia, where they spent
that night, Saturday night, and where
they were found Sunday night.
1t was necessary for the Philadelphia
