Says It's Peoples Matter.

DR. Emmons took the position that
the Commissioners should have adveT-
tised for the property and should have
given the residents of East Washing
ton an opportunity to be heard. He
thought the property should not be
purchased at private sale.
IL the present plan of purchasing
the site is pushed to a successful con-
clusion, said DIR. Emmons, the meth
cd will give rise to criticism. It's the
peoples matter. and the people should
have been consulted"
ON motion of DIR. Emmons the asso-
citation adopted resolution calling on
the Commissioners TO advertise for a
high school site, if such a site must be
purchased.

abandoned the idea of having Con-
gress vote to erect the building on

Duties Enough to Perform.

Mr. Shields urged that the Commits
sioners already have duties enough to
perform. and. he said, many of the
duties are now performed by subordi-
mates.
If there is one thing the citizens
ought to do said Mr. Shields. 1T is
to keep the schools near them.
Don't you think the power of the
board of education should be increas-
cd?' asked DIR. Emmons.
Shields.
What qualifications have the present
Commissioners to enable them to select
a school board?" DR.. Emmons asked.
Mr. Shields argued that change in
the methods of selecting the board of
education would mean that teachers
would be brought here from all over
the country.
letter was received from James l.
Parsons, who was unable to attend
the meeting asking that he be recorded
as voting against the proposed change.
The motion of Mr.. Shields was adopted.
DR.. Emmons criticised the method
employed by the Commissioners in the
matter of planning the purchase of the
East Capitol street site for the new
Eastern High School after the finding
of the condemnation commission had
been set aside. 1t was stated that the
Commissioners have practically closed
the deal for the purchase of the site
for s109, 900.

WANT BROADER POWERS
FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD
East Washington Citizens Take
Stand in Opposition to the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Would Transfer the Right to Pur-
chase Sites and Name the New
Buildings.

If the position taken on the school
question by the East Washington
Citizens association, at a meeting
last night in East Washington hall, is
sustained by Congress the board of
education will have it's powers broad
ened. Not only will the board have
authority to regulate matters pertain
ing to appointments. promotions and
transfers of employees of the schools,
but it will have authority to pur-
chase school sites and to name the
school buildings.
DIR. Charles NJ. Emmons brought the
school question to the attention of the
association and Charles A. Shields
made the formal motion opposing the
giving of authority to the District
Commissioners to appoint members of
the board of education.
DIR. Emmons said he took no particu
lar stock in the claim that the change
would mean the making of political
machine of the schools. If newspaper
reports are true, he stated. member
of the present board of education was
instrumental in forming a republican
club only short time ago

Opposes the Resolution.

John Fl. Adriaans was the only mem
Der of the association who opposed the
resolution. He argued that the law
giving the justices of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia power
to appoint the board of education is
unconstitutional. and cited a decision
of the Court of Appeals in case
brought by the Washington Gas Light
Company in support of his argument.
Mr.. Shields told the association that
the question of the constitutionality of
the law was not under discussion. 1t
was a question. he stated. that did not
concern the association.
so far as the appointment of mem
bers of the board of education is con-
cerned," said DIR. Emmons, Il think the
power to make them should lie with
the Commissioners if the Commission
ers were elected by the people and not
appointed by the President"

City News Association quotes an off
Ger of the British merchant marine"
who arrived here today on the Baltic,
as authority for the statement that
the submarine Bremen has been cap
tured by the British and that thirty
three of her crew Of thirty five were
made prisoners.
The Bremen, according to the ac-
count, was captured in the Straits OF
Dover in a steel net Two members OF
the crew lost their lives.
The Bremen, it was said, whils
enmeshed in the net, was sighted by
a patrol boat, her stern under water
and her bow high above the surface.
After endeavoring for time to eX-
tricate the boat, the patrol boat
steamed away to Dover with her pris-
oners.
The officer said the British govern
ment has maintained silence in re-
gard to the capture, as another trans
Atlantic submarine, the Amerika, was
said to be on the way here and it way
hoped to capture her also.
