CHARGES BY Mr.. HUGHES
STIR DEMOCRATS HERE
President and His Cabinet Take Ex-
ception to Assertions That Civil
Service Has Been Raided.

The Presidents cabinet today took
careful coenizance of the speeches be-
ing made by Charles E. Hughes in his
campaign across the country. Especial
attention was given by the President
and the cabinet to charges by Mr..
Hughes that the democrats have made
serious raids upon the civil service The
particular case which excited resent
ment in the cabinet. and is expected
to lead to a reply to- Mr.. Hughes. is
that of the chief of the coast and geo.
detic survey.
Mr.. Hughes declared in his speech
Yesterday that an eminent scientist"
had been displaced as the head of that
bureau to make room for an excellent
stock breeder and veterinarian Mr-
Hughes, although not mentioning
names, referred to the case OF Dr. u
H. Tittmann, who resigned and was sue,
ceeded by DIR. Lester Jones, who had
formerly been assistant CHIEF OF the
bureau of fisheries.
It was asserted by cabinet officers
this afternoon that DIR. Tlttman re-
signed of his own free Will, ana that
no pressure was brought upon him. 1t
is said that officials of the government
familiar with the facts Will be called
upon for a statement, and there VIII go
out to the public an allegation that
Mr.. Hughes is not keeping within the
lines of accuracy when he asserts that
Dr. Tittman was displaced.
1t became evident today that the Wig
orous speeches of Candidate Hughes
are arousing democratic officials in
Washington and causing President Will
SON and his cabinet to watch sharply
didate. so that answer may be made, il
necessary.

AVIATION FIELD ITEM STAYS
Army Bill Conferees Leave Purchase
of Site to War Department.

While the conferees on the army ap-

amendment providing 100000 for the
purchase of the aviation field at Col
lege Park, Md, as an aviation field
for the army, the conference report
adopted by the Senate today still
leaves it open for the War Department
to purchase the College Park field.
The provision as finally adopted by
the conferees and contained in their
report carries 100000 for the pur-
chase of an aviation field for the army.
but leaves the location of the field UP
to the Secretary of War after he has
looked into the matter of military res
ervations which might be suitable for
such a purpose. If none Of the reser-
yations are found suitable. then he is
at liberty to acquire a field in the best
locati he can.
The officers of the aviation service OF
the army are anxious that the College
Park field be acquired. it is said, be.
lieying it to be the most suitable thai
can be found.

SCHOOLING FREE ONLY
IF PARENT WORKS HERE
Controller of Treasury Decides That
Otherwise Tuition Must Be
Paid For.

Free tuition in the public schools OF
the District of Columbia may be OBJ
tanned for residents only where
one of the parents is actually employed
in the District of Columbia This Is
the decision rendered by the controller
of the Treasury today, upon cases sub
mitted by o. P. Newman, chairman of
the board of Commissioners.
A resident of Rosemont. Va, en-
ployed as superintendent of motive
power of a railroad running between
Washington and Richmond, with head
ousrters in Richmond, but making fire.
auent trips here on business. applied
for a refund of money paid for tuition
for his son.
The controller held that the law is
definite in fixing the District Of Colum-
bia as the place of employment of the
parents of a child who may be admitted
to the schools free of charge.
Mr.. Newman also submitted the case
of children of enlisted men and officers
of the army stationed at Fort Myer.
The CORPORATION counsel of the District
had been inclined to think that because
of the proximity of Fort Myer to WASH
ington, its military connections and the
fact that the officers and men have busi-
ness in Washington now and then"
they might come under the law.
The controller, however. decides that
the officers and men living at Fort Myer
must be employed in an official or other
capacity in Washington and actually
work here most of the time IL their chill
dren are to escape payment of tuition.
