SCHOOLS AWAIT
DISTRICT BILL
Lack of New Appropriations
Would Halt Extension
Work.

Unless the District appropriation bill Is
passed at this session Of congress. the
school system OF the District will be
confronted with an embarrassing situa-
ton.
Lack OF necessary funds will seriously
hamper the work of the schools, II an
extension OF current appropriations is all
that they can depend upon. When asked
II that would be sufficient, Assistant Su-
perintendent of Schools Stephen E.
Kramer, said:
Nowhere near. A school is a grow
ing organism. Your trousers of last year
may fit you. but the same Is not true
of your son. Lacking an increase of
budget over last years we will be un-
able to take care of the increase in en-
rollment by engaging additional teach
ers. But most important we could not
open the new Central High School nor
the Dunbar Colored High School.
II certainly hope the bill will pass,
as that part Of It which relates to the
schools Is excellent"
A petition was received yesterday by
Senator John Walter Smith, chairman of
he Senate District Committee, from Roy
c. Slatin, president OF the High School
Teachers Union. At present the Dis
trict conferees are hopelessly deadlock
ed over the measure, and 1t is extremely
unlikely that a vote will occur on the
bill at this session.
The petition says, in part:
while a continuation appropriation
would enable the wheels of the local
government to keep moving on the pres
ent schedule, 1t would not permit OF the
commencement OF any new construction
work such as paving Of streets, erection
of new schools and other public build
ings, bridges, etc. or any special work
Moreover, the failure to enact the
District appropriation bill would prevent
the opening Of the new Central High
School. the Park View School, the Dun
bar School and other schools scheduled
for opening in September. These schools
represent large outlay OF public money
and their use is an immediate necessity
The construction of the proposed new
Eastern High School would be delayed
for another year. as would other much
needed new schools and additions to
present ones.
Many necessary reforms and improve
ments in the health, the police and the
fire departments would be frustrated for
this year. The Fairgrounds and bath
ing beach are already suffering the ef-
fects of the delay in the passage OF the
appropriation measure"

LABOR FEARS
HUGHES Stand
Organized Workers Said to
Favor Wilson for Child
Labor Attitude.

Organized labor in the West is becom-
ing aroused at the attitude of Charles Z.
Hughes and other prominent Republicans
toward the workingman and is leaning
strongly toward the Democratic party
according to reports read at a meeting
Of the executive board Of the Women's
National Democratic League. held yester-
day at Congress Hall. Mrs. William Gull
lop, wife of Representative Cullop. OF In
diana, and president Of the league, pre-
siding
Letters reporting on the political situa-
tion in the West were read from Mrs
Lucy r. Taliaferro, vice president of the
league for Wyoming. and Mrs. Mildred A
! Hildreth. vice president of the league for
North Dakota. Mrs. Taliaferro formerly
was a resident OF Alexandria. Va.
She reported that in opposition to the
efforts of the Wyoming branch Of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage
to bring defeat TO Wilson and his sup
porters, hundreds of women are organiz-
ing into clubs to work for the reelection
of the Democratic President She said
that organized labor throughout the State
was strongly for Wilson because of his
efforts in connection with the passage of
the child labor law and because of his
appointment OF Justice Brandeis.
Mrs Hildreth reported that Hughes
tour through North Dakota aroused no
great enthusiasm She said that labor
was resentful of Senator Sherman's at
tack on Samuel Gompers. head of the
American Federation of Labor, and was
fearful that the attitude was that OF the
entire Republican party.

BAKER TO REMAIN

Henry S. Baker will continue to serve

members of the board shall serve until
their successors have been appointed
There is considerable opposition to Mr.
Baker on the ground that he was a mem

investigators reached the conclusion that
the excise law was being evaded by the

GALLINGER DIRECTS
NEW PUBLIC PROBE

A resolution was adopted yesterday by
the Senate calling upon the chairman OF
the Federal Trade Commission to explain
whether George W. Ruolee is continu-
ing in office as a member OF the Federal
Trade Commission despite the fact that
he has been rejected by the Senate, and
If so, under what authority at law he is
holding office.
Mr.. Gallinger, author OF the resolu-
tiOn, pointed out that II an appointee
rejected by the Senate were permitted
10 continue In office until the end of the
session, he could be reappointed in re-
cess and thus would be enabled to hold
office for an indefinite period of time in
the face of Senatorial opposition.

Missionary Sees Blonde
Eskimos Found in Arctic
by Murdered Explorer

Saskatoon, Sask., Sept 8. = The
tribe of blonde Eskimos which Harry
V. Radford. of New York, the muir
dered explorer, reported he had found
on Coronation Bluff, far in the Arctic
zone, have again been visited by
white man. In a letter received to-
day from the Rev. II. Girling, of EN-
manuel College by the Rev DR.. Car
penter, principal of the college. the
missionary announced he reached the
dwellers of the Arctic on October 10,
1915. He asserts that he is the first
white man tc dwell among the new
found people, who since their discovery
have constituted an chronological mys-
terry and formed the goal of unsuc-
cessfuI expeditions.
The letter was dated last December
from Camp Necessity" ten miles
from the blonde tribe. the first of
whom. the missionary said, he found
about ten miles east of Cochburn
Point.
Referring to the education of the
new people, Mr.. Girling said that a
great deal already had been accom-
plished in the direction of vocabulary
and grammar, the fair-skinned race
having only dialectic difference from
the Mackenzie river Eskimos.

GERMANS FAIL
in EFFORT TO GET
BACK GROUND
Launch Fierce Counter Attacks
Along Somme and at Verdun
Without Avail
BRITISH ARE INACTIVE
Big Guns Quiet, but Trench
Raiding Parties Inflict
Heavy Losses

German troops along the Somme
front last night made repeated eff
forts to take back ground won by the
French in their latest advance south
of the river. The struggle over the
ground between Berny and Chaulnes
was marked with unusual violence.
Paris announces officially that the as
saults of the Germans availed them
nothing and the French everywhere
held their ground.
on the Vedun front also French
troops were subjected to a counter
attack the object of which was to
reconquer German 6rst line positions
over a front of nearly a mile northeast
of Verdun which the French took
yesterday. These efforts were unsuc-
cessful the official French report says.
British troops on the Somme front
were comparatively inactive. Further
north, near Guinchy, the British raid
ed German trenches and London says
inflicted severe losses on the occu-
pants.

September 4 dealing with the earlier
