TUGS PASS UNDER NEW BRIDGE
Span Over Anacostia at Pennsylvania
Avenue IS Feet Up Now.

Work has so far progressed on the
raising of the channel span of the
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge oter the
Anacostia river that small tugboats
are now passing under it towing light
ers and other craft without high masts.
The tug ]. T. Selectman was the first
towboat to visit the Anacostia above
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, and
yesterday the tug Toby passed under
it with a raft
1t was necessary to shift the truss
supporting the span over the channel
from underneath the bridge to over
head. This gives about thirty five
feet from the water to the bottom
chords of the bridge, and will allow
most of the dredges and the small tug
boats employed about the harbor to
pass under. This change in the bridge
opens the Anacostia river to the rail-
road bridge. which Is now having a
draw placed in it. When the draw is
completed the Anacostia will be
navigable to the Benning bridge.

GETTING THE IMMIGRANT CHILD
TO SCHOOL

| Every immigrant child arriving al
| a United States port of entry vii
henceforth be reported Immediately
to the school authorities in the local
| ity to which he is destined, so that
| he may be placed in school without
| loss of time and without danger OF
being shunted off into unlawful en-
ployment. This is made possible by
cooperation between two federal
bureaus-the bureau of immigration
of the Department of Labor and the
bureau of education in the Depart
ment of the Interior. According to
the plan agreed upon by Commission
ers Caminetti and Claxton of the two
bureaus concerned, the port officials
will have the names of immigrant chill
dren between the ages of and 16
copied from the manifest sheets sub
mitted by steamship captains and for
warded daily or weekly, to the county
or city superintendent of. schools.
Bureau of education officials point out
that the success of the plan will de-
pend almost entirely upon the school
authorities. If the attendance officer
follows up at once the families where
the newly arrived immigrants have
been received, it will be possible to
enroll every child in school. Other
wise, the child is apt to accept employ
ment and be forever beyond the in
fluence of American education. 1t is
pointed out that about $50, 900 chill
dren between the ages of and 16 en-
ter the United States annually: IS per
cent of these come from non-English
speaking countries, particularly from
southern Italy, Poland, Russia, Lith-
uania, and other eastern and southern
European and Asiatic countries. I'm
less these children come into contact
with American life through the public
school, they are likely to grow up
ignorant of American institutions and
thoroughly unfit for citizenship The
plan of sending the names of these
immigrant children Immediately to
county and city superintendent is
first step in the upbuilding of a do
nestle immigration policy by the Unit
ed States government, according to
DIR. H. H. Wheaton, special agent in
immigrant education of the United
States bureau of education. 1T marks
the beginning of the end of the doc
trine of laissez faire with reference
to the Americanization of the imrni-
grant, declares DR.. Wheaton DIR.
z. 2. ClaXton, commissioner of edu-
cation, has communicated with city
and county superintendent through
out the United States, urging them to
use every effort to seek out the chill
dren reported to them by til innnigra-
ton authorities and see that they are
enrolled in school

BUSINESS FULL OF PROMISE.

Were it not for the ravages of the
European war, the United States
would certainly be experiencing de-
cided business Improvement, thinks
Henry Clews, the New York banker.
and he bases this judgment on the
conditions that prevail in the bust
ness and financial world as he finds
them and which he details in his cur
rent weekly financial review, as fol-
lows: Home conditions are unques-
tionably more satisfactory than they
have been for many months. Our
banking situation is sound, and thS
operations of the new Federal reserve
in rebuilding confidence. Money is
easy, and those in good credit have
no difficulty in securing all reason
ably accommodation. Bank clearings
prove increased activity beyond 4
doubt. In the second week of May
the increase at leading cities was
over IL per cent. In the first week
of May the returns at ali cities showed
an increase of nearly IS per cent. This
latter total was largely swelled by
activity on the New York Stock Ex-
change. but the clearinss outside of
10 per cent. No more conclusive evil
dence of legitimate Improvement could
be offered than these figures. In
dustry is improving, and while our
mills are not running on full time.
except when occupied with war con-
tracts. their output is steadily eX-
panding. Steel mills are daily adding
to their product, which is now esti-
mated at nearly so per cent of capac-
ity. Our railroads are placing orders
for equipment rather more freely, ana
big foreign orders for shrapnel, ord
nance, barbed wire, etc, are keeping q
number of plants running day and
night Our cotton and wooden mills
are also better occupied, although
there is still much room for improve
ment. Fall River cotton mills are
able period of suspension, and some
of the New Bedford mills are excep-
tionally busy. Building operations,
though not up to the average, are in
creasing. Railroad traffic is grow
ing on some roads, but is unsatisfac-
tory on others. Better returns are
in prospect, and net figures show
occasional gains. Gross earnings or
4S roads in March indicate a decrease
of s per cent. Net results. however,
are expected to show a slight in
crease owing to the economies which
the roads have been able to enforce.

lite at this time, since planting is still

THOMAS IN THE RACE
Former Topeka Man Mentioned for
Office of Bishop Coadjutor.

There are several candidates in the
field for the office of bishop coadjutOr
of the Kansas Diocese of the Protest
ant Episcopal church, each supported
by a considerable following. Among
those mentioned are: Rev. DR.. Sedg-
wick, now rector of Calvary church,
New York City, and for twelve years
in active church work in Minnesota;
Rev. DIR. Percy Fem of Wichita, Kan
sas,; Nathaniel Thomas, now mission
airy bishop of Wyoming, and the Rev.
Mr. White of Atchison, Kansas.
DR.. Sedgwick has been highly rec
commended to this diocese by several
prominent churchmen, both clergy
and lay in the eastern states
He lacked but one vote at recent
church election in New Jersey, of be-
coming bishop of that state. He is
a low church man, which gives him
favor with a large faction in the KAN
SaS church.
