Senator William Hughes of New Jer-
sey, strongly urged President Wilson to-
day to appoint William r. King. of Ore
gon, a member of the Court of Claims.
Kings Western friends want him made
chief justice of the court, a position
vacant since the retirement of Judge
Peelle.
Senator Hughes indorsed King for a
place in the court, but as there are
two places open il is not certain that
he will be made chief justice, even if
given a judicial appointment
The Washington times., 1913-03-22

The letter of Dr. Charles Eliot de-
clining the appointment as ambassador
to Great Britain, which he is said to
have written yesterday and mailed to
President Wilson, did not reach the
Executive offices today. While Richard
Olney was being considered for the
place. DR. Eliot's name was also men,
toned. and he said at that time that
he would not accept the place even il

His declination, together with the
declination of William F. McCombs, and
the difficulty President Wilson has eX-
perienced in getting other men to take
foreign posts. has placed the Admins
tration in a difficult position.

Land Speculation Under Boards Ban

Denyer.-Volney Hoggatt, new reg
lister of the state land board, an
nounced that no more state land will
be sold except to actual settlers or
to persons who will improve the land,
the latter preferred. His action is a
direct slap at land companies that
would purchase large tracts from the
state for speculative purposes. Sec
ton 51S4 of the revised statutes of
Colorado permits of no other sales,
Hoggatt said. This section reads
that the state board of land commits
sioners may at any time direct the
sale of any state land to actual settlers
only or to persons who shall improve
the same. Thousands of acres of state
lands have heretofore been sold to
spectators who never dreamed of i'm
proving the land or settling thereon.
Those lands were bought at low
price and offered to the very people
whom the state intended should be the
purchasers actual settlers - who
have been compelled to pay to the
spectators from two to ten times the
price the state originally received

Denver.-Officials of the United

gotiations for the settlement OF the
threatened strike in the Southern
Colorado coal fields, issued signed
statement in which they denied that
the open shop" would be considered
as basis of negotiation with the op-

basis that State Labor Commissioner
Brake has declared he is proceeding
to bring the settlement about. Rumors
of dissension between Frank j. Hayes

mine workers and their general orga
nizer, and the local policy committee,
are also denied. The statement af
firms the intention of the union OF

Denver-More than three-quarters
of million tons of coal were produced
in Colorado for the month of July, ac-
cording to a report of State Coal
Mine Inspector Dalrymple. The total
production for the year is 5,S79,S15
tons. There is a shortage of miners
in the state, according to the report.
There is a decrease of 141,677 tons
In the production for the present year
under that of 1912, due to the scar
city of men. 1t is believed that with
a settling of conditions which APP
pears probable the decrease will be
made up before the end of the year.
The exact production of coal for
July was 759,934 tons The coke pro-
duction for the month was S3,609 tons
with a total tonnage for the year of
600,046.
There was an average daily employ
ment throughout the state of 1880

due partially to the decision of men
to leave the state because of strike

just out of slavery. Fifty years ago,

few thousand dollars worth of
church property. Now their church
holdings are valued at S57 100000. In
1867 there were 500 schools for freed

To serve and uplift the negro race
by training its girls and young women
to be good cooks and good laundresses
is the purpose of the National Train
ing School for Women and Girls-an
awkward title for one of the most
interesting experiments in vocational
education yet made in this country,
says the Baltimore American The
primary object is not to train girls
to be servants, but to train them so
that If they do become servants they
will be good ones, and If they become
housewives in homes of their own
they will be efficient there. To this
end this school has subordinated the
conventional three RS of the conven-
tional school to the unconventional
three BIS of this particular school. To
quote from the school catalogue: THE
aim is to make practical use of the
three B's-the Bible, the bathtub and
the broom. The Bible is the text book
for all students, and by daily study
and teaching students will be brought
to value it as the best guide for ac-
tion. The positive power of the bath
tub in refining and developing ones
physical powers is dwelt upon; phys
ical cleanliness is required. The broom
holds third place in Importance in the
practical scheme. The negro home
is suffering more from the lack of
women who know how to make and
maintain home than anything else.
This school is established to train
housekeepers and home makers.
Every student is taught how to work
and must not be lacking in disposi-
ton to do so. A clean life, clean
body and clean home are all
that the humblest member of the race
needs to insure real advancement. We
shall conform to the actual needs of
the race regardless of present educa-
tional methods and notions"
