Many Divisions of Post Office De.

While the new building near the
Union station may not be occupied by
the city post Office until the latter
part of July and perhaps not until the
middle of August, according to esti-
mates of the department. officials and
Postmaster Praeger, many of the d.
visions of the Post Office Department
are now being moved to their new
quarters in 1t.
The division of supplies is rapidly
taking possession. with the topogra-
piers office and the mail bag repair
shop Soon the stamp division. the d.
vision of postal savings and the dead
letter Office will following suit. until
all the divisions that are to be pro-
vided with space in the new building
are accommodated. This will mean
the abandonment Of the annex at LIST
and X streets northeast as branch of
the postal department and it also will
serve to relieve some OF the congestion
that is said to exist in the department
building proper. The moving has been
going on for some days.

about to points lower. but leading
spot interests were again good buyers

.S|DDONS ENJOYS Joke
ON LOCAL EDUCATORS
Commissioner Fails to Get Reply to
Query as to Naming
of School.

Commissioner Siddons today enjoyed a
joke at the expense of the board of edu-
cation. The commissioner last night at
tended the commencement exercises OF
Washington Normal School No. and en-
deavored to ascertain from members of
the board who occupied seats with him
on the stage why an institution in which
students are trained to become teachers
should be called normal school. None
Of those to whom his inquiries were .ad.
dressed could supply the answer.
Specializing DIS to why the word
normal" which means model, should
be applied to school where teachers
are. trained more than to graded or
high school. Mr.. Siddons sought en-
Hghtenment from Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes. who sat next to him Mrs
Rhodes frankly admitted that she had
never thought Of the matter before, and
referred the quesuoner to Mrs. Ernest
L. Thurston, wife Of the superintendent
sideration the latter said she thought
she might be able to give the District
official an answer over the telephone in
the morning.
Finds En- All Up Stump.
By this time Mr. Siddons was de-
termined to get an answer, If possible
He applied next to Henry p. Blair
president of the board, but that official
after advancing several possible sug-
gestions admitted that he was as much
in the dark about the matter as any
one else. When the exercises had
closed Mr.. Siddons propounded his
questions to W. T. Galliher, DR.. Childs
and other members of the board, but
invaria bly, with the same discouraging
results.
Finally, Supt Thurston was appealed
to. The head of the school system
hesitated. looked perplexed and then
confessed that the answer was beyond
him.
The Commissioner said this morning
he had abandoned hope of learning
why the institution is called a nor
NAL school

CONFER WITH WILSON.
Mediators in Miners Trouble Set
Secretary of Labor.

The mediation commission which is
endeavoring to adjust the difficulties
between the Kanawha, W. Va, miners
and operators held a long conference
with Secretary Wilson of the Labor De-
partment this morning. but the Secre-
tary would not discuss the subject of
the meeting. The mediators later re-
turned to their hotel, where they con-
tinued their conferences.
They took step forward last night,
when both sides to the controversy
agreed to proposal for a check-off
system by which the miners union
dues would be deducted from their pay
envelopes at the mines. Just as it ap-
peared, however. that complete
agreement was in sight a hitch arose
over the extent of an investigation Of
marketing conditions to fix a basis of
wages. The conference this morning
with the Secretary was believed to
be concerning this latter block in the
negotiations.
