SINKING OF BOAT PUZZLES.
Steamer City of Richmond Goes to
Bottom at Her Wharf at West Point

According to reports officers Of the
Chesapeake Steamship Company are
still at loss to explain why their
steamer City of Richmond, sank at her
wharf at West Point, Va, several days
ago. Though an investigation has been
made and divers have examined the
vessel. nothing has been ascertained
that throws any light on the cause of
the accident. The City of Richmond
was new and modern screw steamer,
built for service on the Baltimore-West
Point route. and how she could have
filled with water SO rapidly will only
he cleared up after she is raised.
Divers of the Merritt & Chapman
wrecking Company have been at work
for several days on the sunken steam
ar closing all openings so that she can
he pumped out. and it is probable she
will be brought to the surface today
che will then be taken to Baltimore
fnr examination and repairs. To what
extent the steamer is damaged will
not he known until she is taken from
the water.

NOT ENTITLED TO EXTRA PAY.
Four District Militiamen Lose in
Controllers Ruling,

Guarding, loading and unloading
property and impedimenta
belonging to or in the custody of the
organized militia of the District of
Columbia does not constitute a duty
emitting to extra pay four members
of the militia.
The controller of the Treasury.

duty could rightfully be exacted under
their general obligations as officers and
men of the militia. The fact that thev

More Applications Pending.

There are said to be pending six or
eight applications for the establish
ment of jitney bus lines. The appH-
cations for the most part have been
made by individuals. who are required
to operate under the same conditions
as those imposed upon the jitney COM
panies-that is. they must signify what
routes are to be traversed, meet the
required license fees and give notice of
any change in routes.
A half-hour schedule is followed
throughout the greater portion of the
day by the cars of the Arlington-Bar-
croft Company, while the Baltimore
and Washington cars run over a three
hour schedule. According to reports on
hle with the police departments effort
apparently is being made to operate
all the cars over the various jitney
lines with sufficient regularity to in
sure satisfactory service.
District officials are without informa-
tion as to the average number of
passengers carried daily, but what rec
ords are available indicate that there
are fewer jitneys in operation now
than few weeks ago. Whether the
number Of cars now being operated
represents the normal demand for this
kind of transportation service probably
will not be known until further ex-
periments have been made with the
various routes established and those
proposed to be tried out.

JAPAN TO BAR RELIGION
FROM CHOSEN SCHOOLS

All religious education will be barred
within ten years from schools in Chosen,
the Japanese name for Korea giving "a
general education by an order promul-
gated by Gen. Terauchi, japanese terri
torial governor OF Chosen, the text of
which was made public here by the jap
anese embassy.
The order prohibits the teaching Of

1t will seriously affect a large number
Of American missionary schools which
have been established In Chosen. and re-
ports Of its provisions already have
evoked considerable discussion among
missionary organizations in the United
States.
Gen. Terauch prefaces his order with
the declaration that the experience OF the

ton and religion. The ten-year period.

existing private schools an opportunity
to adjust themselves to the new require
ments.
No definition Of the exact meaning
of the term general education" is
given in the order, but in Japanese cir
cles here today it was explained that
If the missionaries in Chosen desire to
continue their religious tea achings sep
arate from the general schools their
activities will not be limited in theo-
logical schools, English langua ge
schools. bookkeeping schools or other
institutions of a like character.
Outlines Government Policy.
Tho order sets forth that the gen.
eral policy of the Japanese government
has been to separate education and re-
ligion, and cites that one of the first
acts OF the japanese in taking over
Chosen was to prohibit religious in
struction in schools controlled by the
government. 1t says that the govern
ment recognizes education as a CEN
trail force in the effort to nationalize
Chosen. and the knowledge Of the Jap
anese language is stated to be indis-
pensable to make the Chosen natives
loyal. In line with this contention the
government has been steadily extend
ing the public school system and elimi-
mating private schools.

give education along diverse and un-
constrained lines" says the order, "a
