LITTLE DAMAGE CAUSED
BY TWO SMALL FIRES
Downtown Engines Put Out Blazes
in C Street and in John
Marshall Place.

Two fires kept the downtown en-
CINE companies busy just before mid
night last night. although little dam
age was done at either. Both were
in sheds. but one of them made a lively
blaze that could be seen for a number
of blocks and attracted a large crwd
The first was in a shed on the lot
at 204 c street northwest owned by
T. ]. Callan, who lives at 2O6 C street.
The shed was used to store lumber
and old boxes and barrels 1t was
destroyed, and Mr.. Callan estimates his
damage at s25. He went on the back
porch and discovered the blaze, tele-
phoning an alarm to headquarters. He
could give no cause for the fire.
While the engine companies were at
this blaze, another alarm was sounded
for a fire in a shed in the rear of 211
John Marshall place. Policeman L. E.
Beach while passing the alley dis
covered the blaze, sent some one to
turn in an alarm, and set about ex-
a can containing red hot ashes which
had been set against the side of the
shed, and scorched his fingers badly.
The damage is estimated at SIS.
The attention of the police while at
this fire was attracted to a disturbance
avenue. When they got there soldier
was found lying on the pavement.
When the police attempted to take him
two of his comrades tried to interfere
The result was a free for all fight, in
which the policemen came out the VIC
of the I'd Cavalry at Fort Myer, to the
station house.

TEACHERS AGAIN TO ASK
FOR RETIREMENT LAW
Plans for Renewal of Effort in Be-
half of the Washington
Corps.

With the opening Of Congress next
month, another effort will be made by
public school teachers to procure the en-
actment Of an adequate teachers retire
ment law. With this in mind the teachers
branch of the women's department Of the
National Civic Federation of the District
of Columbia met at the Franklin School
yesterday to discuss the proposed bill and
ways and means Of bringing it to the at
tention of Congress. Miss Rebecca Shan
ley presided.
In order to place the entire force Of the
public schools behind the proposed bill.
the meeting yesterday decided that CEN
trail committee should be formed The
committee will consist of one member
from each of the school organizations 1t
is expected this plan will effect unity in
presenting the matter to Congress-
Retirement Based on Age.
The bill which the teachers have work.
ed out provides for retirement based on
age, and a compulsory contribution from
each teacher, based on an accurately
computed scale in which age and salary
are the prime elements. To this contribu-
ton federal appropriation will be added.
1t provides for voluntary retirement with
pension at the age of sixty-two and COM
pulsory retirement with pension at the
age of seventy.
An example of how the annuities
would be provided is given in a state
ment issued by the teachers branch of
the Women's federation. For instance
the fund is made up of deductions of
salary, l per cent of basic salary for
each year of teaching, to which is add
ed by the appropriation bill Sc for each
year of teaching.
An Example Cited.
Example: A teacher retires at sixty
two years of age after teaching forty
years on basic salary of $500, 1 per
cent of the salary. which is IS, would
be multiplied by forty years. which is
$3.50. That is the amount of deductions
from the salary. To this is added the
sum of Sc multiplied by forty years,
which is $240. or the amount to be pro-
vided by the appropriation. The sum
OF these two amounts. $3.50, would be
the annua! pension for the teacher
shown In this example.
In the case of teachers who, at the
time the bill might become a law, have
reached the retirement age, the an
nuity will be provided for by appro-
priation, and until each teacher shall
have purchased his or her annuity the
deficit Is to be met by an appropriation,
but no annuity in this class shall ex-
coed $500. 1t also provides that teach
ers leaving the service shall receive the
total amount paid into the fund with
4 per cent compound interest. To the
heirs of teacher dying in the service
the amount contributed, with interest,
shall be paid.
