FOR CLEANER HANDS
IN GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
Goldwater Urges That Wash
Basins and Paper Towels
Be Provided.

Tn bulletin of the Health Department
published yesterday contains q letter
from Health Commissioner Goldwater
to the Board Of Education strongly urg-
ing the members to have vast basins.
soap and towels provided In the public
grammar schools and pointing out that
considerations Of health and OF common
decency demand that the existing defect
should be remedied."
DR.. Goldwater's criticism was brought
about through an article recently pub
lished in School Health Ne,os by DR..
Charles r. Bolduan. director OF the Blu
reau OF Public Health Education. In his
article, which dealt with the infection
spread by Typhoid Mary" Or. Bolduan
urged teachers to drill into their pupils
the habit OF carefully washing their
hands during the day. thereby diminish
ing the chances OF spreading disease.
This we'll intentloned recommended
tion," writes DR.. Goldwater. "has
brought the Department of Health and
the Department of Education into rid
icule because. except In high schools.
wash basins rave not been installed IN
the school buildings since the year 1900"
The Commissioners says this Informs
ton was obtained from the superintend-
ent Of school buildings. who admitted
that wash basins had been left out in
the construction OF schools since 1900.
when II was found that they were not
used because Of the problem of SOAP
and towels" Accordingly the Commits
sisner finishes his letter:
: we wish TO urge that In the budget
OF your department for 1915 provisions
be made for wash basins and for paper
towels for use In connection Herewith.
This Is a legitimate item OF expense.
and we do not believe that objection to
It II made can be successfully sus-
tanned"

JEWS IN u. S. PLAN TO GET
HOL YLAND AFTER WAR
Conference of 10000 Called to Meet in Boston With
Idea of Matchmaking Palestine for Benefit of Race
Welcome for Christians.

Soon after the war started Protestants
In England made an informal PROPOSE
ton to their c~oreligionists in the United
states to obtain Joint control Of Pales-
tine. II was suggested that the Holy
Land possessed tourist drawing quail.

offered extraordinary opportunity for de

inter-city transportation facilities.
There were to be rapid transit trunk
lines connecting Damascus Nazareth and
Jerusalem. A Aranch line vas to draw
Mount Hermon close to Damascus.
Mount Carmel was to BE- brought within
easy distance Of Nazareth. Trolleys
were to take Jerusalem visitors on ex-
cursions to Bethlehem. Bethany and
Jericho.
All Of this. the English propagandists
said, would prove the greatest mission
airy movement for the Christian religion
conceivable. The success OF the project
was contingent, of course, on the wrest-
Ing Of Palestine from domination Of
the Turks. The present Jewish move
ment assumes also that a fresh dispo-
sition Of the Holy Land will be made
after the end Of the war.

Leaders In the Boston conference az.
sert that the possession Of Palestine by
the Jews would not prevent Christians
from developing the country for show
purposes. Rather. they see In such q
movement the welding Of a close spirit
OF cooperation between the races. They
are ambitious to obtain Palestine for u
national home but, once established
there. they would welcome the coming

terest to Bible students, II was said.
Jews to the number OF 10. 900 are ex-
pected to attend the meetings his week.
Efforts are being made to obtain the
cooperation Of Jews throughout the coun-
try because. owing to the lack Of or
ganisation among the Jews In Europe,
the project, II II succeeds, must result
from the activity Of those In this coun-
try. according to statements made here
yesterday. The organizations to be rep

Tuskegee and the Future.

Seth Low, former mayor of New
York and chairman OF the board of
trustees of Tuskegee Institute, in
telegram on the death of Booker T.
Washington thus addressed the Off
GERS. teachers and students of the
institute:
1T is now yours to show without
his magnetic presence, by your 10y
atty to the school and to his high
ideals, how truly you have caught
the inspiration of his spirit and of
his devoted life of service. The trus-
tees will not fail you in your hour of
need. and we count confidently on
your loyal cooperation in keeping
Tuskegee a worthy memorial of the
great man with whom you have
worked so long and we'll"
There is no more interesting or
deserving work IN hand in the south,
or for that matter anywhere in the
land, than that at Tuskegee 1t re-
lates in a highly practical way to the
uplifting of race which needs the
service, and whose services the coun-
try needs. Although it has done much
in its half century of freedom, the
colored race is still beginner in all
that makes for usefulness in the
world of everyday endeavor.
The great value of DR.. Washing

that they have shown the colored

pressure of millions of feet, and it
was necessary to replace them with
| new material.
In this connection it should be
noted that for a number of years
plans have been awaiting approval
for the reconstruction of the central
portion of the Capitol to cause it to
conform architecturally and struc-
turally to the wings, which are of diff
ferent material and design. These
plans have been most highly COM
mended by architects. who believe
that their execution will in. no wise
lessen the exceptional artistic value
of the Capitol building, which is rated
as one of the most beautiful structures
in the world. There would be no change
in the interior affecting the great
central features, the dome and ro-
tunda, but the building would be
given a greater dignity by the ad-
vancement of the central line and the
more effective balancing of the
wings.
Eventually this plan will probably
be adopted and carried into execu-
ton. Nothing is gained by the de-
lays that have been caused by un-
willingness to alter the present ap-
pearance of the building. Even with
the erection of the House and Senate
Office buildings more room is urgent
ly needed in the Capitol itself, and
this would be afforded by the pro-
posed reconstruction, especially if it
were accompanied by the removal of
the Supreme Court to quarters of it's
own outside. The two projects, in
deed, are naturally associated, for the
reconstruction of the Capitol would
render it necessary to change that
portion which is occupied by the
court. The subject should be taken
up for consideration at this coming
session of Congress.

The Hillstrom Case.

A singular combination of eircum-
stances made the case of Joseph Hill
strom, who was executed for MUIR
der in Utah this morning. far more
notorious than the circumstances
warranted. In its details this was
an ordinary homicide. Hillstrom was
convicted OF killing a grocer named
Morrison and his SON one night a
little less than two years ago. The
crime was committed by two masked
men who entered the store and open
ed fire on the grocer, who was fatal
ly wounded at the first shot. The
younger Morrison got a pistol and
fired at the assassins, wounding one
of them before he, too, was killed.
Then the masked men fled. Another
son of Morrison saw the tragedy and
later partially identified Hillstrom as
one OF the men. That night, a short
time after the shooting, Hillstrom
called on physician for treatment
tor bullet wound in the lung. Blood
stains were found in the snow at in
tervals between Morrison's store and
the physicians Office, and witness
later identified Hillstrom as one of
two men he saw standing under an
electric light at point on this route.
The physician found in Hillstrom's
pocket pistol corresponding in cali
Der with the bullets that killed the
two Morrisons. On this chain of cir
cumstantial evidence Hillstrom was
convicted. He set up an alibi that
he had been wounded in a quarrel
over married woman, whose name
he has always refused to disclose, on
the plea of protecting her reputation.
Had it not been for Hillstrom's con-
nection with the Industrial Workers
of the World, OF which he was con-
spicuous member, with certain
rhyming knaek that earned for him
the sobriquet of Hobo poet" Hill
strom's case would probably never
have attracted more than ordinary at
tention. His Swedish extraction, too,
evoked the sympathetic attention of
the Representatives of Sweden, and
through them of President Wilson,
whose appeal to Gov. Spry for COM
mutation has within the last few
days attracted national attention.
A tremendous agitation for Hill
strom has resulted from this condi-
ton and the Governor of Utah has
been subjected to threats of assassi-
nation if he permitted Hillstrom to
die. He has been undeterred by these
menaces. There is nothing in the
case to indicate that Hillstrom was
"martyred," although there may be
in some minds doubt as to his
guilt, doubt, however, that is al
ways felt by some in the case OF
conviction based on circumstantial
evidence.

Capitol Repair and Reconstruction.

A news report describes the work
done during recess at the Capitol at
a cost of some 100000, the major
part of which sum was spent in the
resurfacing of streets and sidewalks
about the building. One of the most
interesting items, however. is the re-
placement with granite of the old
worn softstone steps of the east
central entrance. The passing of the
old steps marks the disappearance of
historical landmark, for this ap-
proach to the Capitol has been the
scene of many inaugurations and
other notable ceremonies during a
long period of years. The steps, how
ever, had grown shabby, and in places
dangerously out of line through the
