Citizens School
IS REORGANIZED

Owing to the situation brought
about by the war. foreign education
in this city has been more or less dis
rupted with the result that the
Citizens School for Foreigners, which
has been conducted here so success
fully for several years, was for a
time completely disorganized. How
ever. a committee composed of Miss
Alice p. Smythc. Miss Mary II. Askew
Mather, William +. Kurtz. George b..
Miller and Charles |. Kent, has made
other arrangements for the con-
tinuation of the school with the result
that the Citizens School for Foreign
ers has been temporarily taken over
by the Polish Mission, of this city. and
is now being conducted in st. Michael's
Episcopal Church. The Polish Mis-
sion is operated under the direction Of
the Presbyterian Board and Miss
Mayme Ostrosky, a graduate of the
Moody School in Chicago and a
Polish girl herself, is in charge of the
work here.
The Rev. d. NJ. Cleland, who has
been in charge of the school for a
number of years has resigned to do
similar work in Pittsburgh, Pa. Much
regret is felt over the loss of Mr..
Cleland to whom a great deal of the
success of the school has been due.

TESTIMONY ABOUT
ROADS DOINGS

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. LIN tho
hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission on charges that
service on the Chesapeake bay boats
had deteriorated since the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad gained control. Ho-
mer Hurst, who has a farm on the
Potomac, gave interesting testimony
Mr. Hurst also complained of the
"intolerable and indefensible system
OF shipping" on the boats. He said
he never saw any of the shipments
weighed. The agent, he said, would
simply look at the package and say
80 cents. 40 cents or some other
price without taking hold of the
package or knowing whether it con-
tanned nails or cotton.
The passage rate from Baltimore
to Washington formerly was 81 or
SO for the round trip. Under the rail-
road ownership II was $3.50 one way
or $3.50 for the round trip. although
the business had increased 75 per
cent. The steamboat service be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, Mr.
Hurst said, was better than on any
other OF the railroad-owned lines. On
one of the other lines, he said, he
had been given a lantern when he
went to bed and on another occasion
a lamp was given to him.
The most striking illustration OF
the changes he had observed was
when he came to Baltimore on boat,
which he said was an old tub called
the Tivoli or something like that.
Mr.. Hurst wanted breakfast and
asked for eggs. toast and coffee. He
was told there was only one egg on
board, and that was spoiled. Then
Mr.. Hurst asked for bacon and was
told there was not a bit of II on the
boat All he could get was toast
and coffee, for which he was charged
30 cents. He said the toast was fair
ly good but the coffee was very bad.
L. O. Beck. transportation agent OF
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association. who questioned Mr.
Hurst on his direct examination, fol-
lowed him on the witness stand He
said that in the freight rates on the
Eastern Shore discrimination was
made against Baltimore in favor OF
Philadelphia.
There were no through rates from
Baltimore TO points on the Eastern
shore. he declared, and the rates
from Baltimore via. Wilmington were
the same as from Philadelphia, al
though the distance was about halt
by way of Easton.
