DIR. KELLY IN MYSTERY TRIP.
Sudden Sailing Connected by Friends
Wiah Radium Control.

Baltimore, Jan. 25.-Physicians in
charge of Dr. Howard A. Kelly's sanato-
rum here said Saturday that their chief $
departure for London was so sudden
that they really had not been informed
of the object of his hurried mission. 1t
is believed in medical circles that there
were more important reasons for DR.. Kel-
ly going to England than the mere fact
of placing his son in an English college.
The physician has several cases like
that of Representative Bremmer IN
his care, and it is not probable he
would have departed so hastily on an
Atlantic transport liner unless the call
was something extraordinary
The object of his mission, as limited
by a close friends. is to consult Brit
ish and other foreign governmental ano
scientific authorities on the radium
problem and the plan to regulate its
sale and prevent monopoly. He will
be gone about month and will visit
Paris and Berlin.

WOULD HAVE CONTINUOUS
SCHOOL SESSIONS IN YEAR.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Characterizing
the practice of closing the public
schools during the summer months as
primitive and preposterous" and de-
claring that the most important prob
lem today is to keep the city boys
from the three months contamination
in the Streets" p p. Claxten, com
missioner of the United States Bu-
reau Of Education today approved a
plan which would mean continuous
school sessions and through which p
100000 children might be enlisted in
vocational work.
4 program for summer vocational
work of public school children was
submitted to the commissioner by
Glide Allison Mann, secretary of the
American Society for Thrift. The COM
missioner expressed the belief that
one vocational teacher in each school
should be employed all the year.
These teachers should teach nature
study and the principles of horticul-
ture," said Mr.. Claxton, going from
home to home, supervising the garden
work and continuing work during
summer vacation.
Mr.. Claxton pointed out that in Eu-
rope the public schools last year pro-
duced s70o, 100000 through their voca-
tional work. He estimated that 2,o00,-
900 children could be enlisted in the

$1,000 900 annually.

Plans of Wilson
For Col. GOethalS

Washington, Jan. 25.-Colonel George
W. Goethals will be made civil gov
ernor of the canal zone and when he
gets through with his work there an
effort will be made to get him to su-
perintend the construction of the pro-
posed Alaskan railway.
This was the opinion expressed by
several persons close to the admins
tration today, commencing on reports
that the chief engineer would event
ually become commissioner Of police
Of New York.
Mayor Mitchell of New York is ex-
pected here Wednesday to speak at a
banquet of the University club, and
1t is likely that he will talk with
President Wilson on the same day
about the status of Col. Goethals. IL
is believed the President will tell
Mayor Mitchell that he is strongly de-
sirious of keeping Col. Goethals sc
that his engineering ability may not
be lost to the United States govern
ment as it would be by his accept
anee of the New York position
The President, 1t became known to-
day, has from the beginning favored
the one-man plan of government for
the canal zone as proposed by Col
Goethals. in opposition to the sugges-
tion of commission. Secretary Gar
rison has agreed, and it was stated au-
thoritatively today that the dminis-
tration has intended from the first tc
name Col. Goethals as the first civil
governor.
