EXPECTED TO VETO I
SUNDAY PROPOSAL
Board of Education Scheduled
to Act at TomorroW'S
Meeting. !
USE OF BUILDINGS SEVEN
DAYS A WEEK THE ISSUE
Board Is Not Unanimous, and Spirit
ed Debate Is Likely to Pre-
cede Decision.

Action refusing the opening Of the
public schools of the District Sunda vs.
probably will be taken by the board
of education at its meeting to be held
at the franklin School tomorrow aft
ernoon.
This is the indication today. The
board has taken no action in the matte
as a body and no meetings nor con-
ferences to consider IT have been hell
since the last regular meeting. A ma
jority of the members. however, accord
ing TO opinions which they have ex-
pressed individuals, will oppose
action to keep the schools open seven
days a week.
The sole issue involved is the use Of
the schools Sundays. The board, since
given authority by Congress a year or
more ago. has granted the use of the
school buildings on week DAYS and
evenings to scores of organizations
These include not only organizations of
an educational nature. such socia
and community centerS, but also citi-
Zens' associations. alumni associations.
civic orders of many sorts. and the
board has even allowed plays to be
given in certain school assembly halls
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-03-14
Board Not Unanimous.

1t is probable that a spirited debate
will precede the boards action tomor-
row. as the opinion that the schools
should not be allowed to be open sun
days is not unanimous. The majority
concurs. it is said. SO that the final ac-
ton in all likelihood will be that pre-
viously stated.
The question of allowing the use Of
the schools Sundays was brought UP by A
group of persons living for the most
part in the vicinity of the Grover
Cleveland School.
This group desired the use of the
Grover Cleveland building Sundays for
a forum, where public questions of a
non-political. non-sectarian natur"
might be discussed. In two instance
the use of the building for Sunday aft
ernoonS was granted.
Practice in Other Cities.
In the meantime the board of educa-
ton instructed Supt Ernest l.. Thur
ston to determine the situation in other
cities regarding the opening of the
schools Sundays.
Although Mr.. Thurston today explain
ed he wished to give out no information
which he had received until he placed
it before the board tomorrow after
noon. it is understood that in many of
the cities throughout the country the
Sunday opening has either been dis
allowed, or. If the practice was allowed.
did not prove popular and therefore
was discontinued because of lack of In
terest.
For many years the board and the
various superintendent serving during
that time endeavored to have the
schools opened for wider use. II was
felt that the millions of dollars of
property represented by the buildings
throughout the District could be put to
greater use.
1t is difficult to, determine on just
what grounds the board will base its
stand against use of schools Sundays.
One of the points involved, however. is
the question as to whether the janitors.
even if paid. can be worked seven days
a week. and yet retain their useful
ness to the schools. The question OF
desecrating the Sabbath is also one of
the points upon which considerable stress
will be placed.

with Brig. Gen. Pershing and the an
nouncement that Carranza's troops may
cross the American border, was more
cheerful than in several days Gavira

Nervous Strain Along Frontier.

The frontier country between Ell Paso
and Columbus is showing unmistak
able signs of the nervous strain that
has been increasing in tension since
the Columbus raid. The scattered ham
let's which mark this section. consist
ing generally of half dozen houses
occupied by railroad foremen and sec
ton hands. have sent requests TO the
military officials for protection.
stories of the activities of Villa
agents have poured into Fort Bliss
and many have been received by the
civil authorities. Several arrests have
already been made and others are ex-
pecteG to follow. one such story is
10 the effect that the Villa sympa-
rhiZers are using dogs to send mes
Sages and Information across the Dor

IS an American living on the border
close 10 this city. He said he had seen
ne dog with Il roll of papers tied
around his neck running across the
border. He fired several bullets al the
animal. but failed to hit il.

behind an army wagon and thence to the

The train was about to pull out when
the crowd discovered that the general had

MI night long sensational reports
came into FL Paso from various points
along the border. but nearly all lacked
confirmation The most definite came
from Naco, Ariz. For some days re-
ports have reached here from the Dor
der near Naco of heavy movements of
Carranza troops under Gen. Gales.
Early today it was asserted that con-
siderable number of these troops We're
showing increasing hostility toward
Americans and might even espouse the
cause of Villa. The United States
military authorities were sufficiently
aroused by these stories to rush rein
forcements to the garrison at Naco.

Tuesday, April II, 1916.

We forgot to tell Mayor Wright and
Capt. Joe Werts the little bit of street
we were begging them to fix. Well,
begging your pardons, here goes. We
would be delighted if you would per-
manent,y fix the little bit of street
from Boundary in Caldwell to the
top of the hill in front of the residence
of Mr.. G. W. Summer and along in
front of the Baptist church. OF course,
the repairs should go on down to the
the railroad crossing at least, but we
are getting just a little selfish also
and are asking only for what would
be little benefit to US. At the same
time we are sure that the repair OF
this little stretch of street would meet
the approval of the entire congrega-
ton of the church and of Mr.. G. W.
Sumer and Mayor Wright himself.
and if extended on, as we suggest, the
approval of DR.. Houseal and Mr.. c.
H Cannon and Mr.. Frank Davis and
MRS. Boozer and so on. If fact, this
is one street that should be built on
down to the railroad crossing.
But there are so many streets that
need to be built that We are almost
afraid to specify any one particular
little bit of a piece of a street for
work Take Bou dary street from Nc
Kjbbin on out TO the city limits, is
very important thoroughfare and
many people from the country travel
it, and it is the main road from the
steel bridge. And almost any part OF
the public road on to Dead Fall is
better than the street And then
Main street from the Summers Gar
age on to the city limits is one of the
worst stretches of road on the county,
and it is part of the Appalachian
highway. And then there IS College
street from Main on out to the ceme-
terry in an awful condition. And it is
part of the Piedmont highway A
little money spent on these main
streets and arteries OF the city would
be a good investment, but as Mayor
Wright said the other day, how can
you do these things and make these
improvements without money. THE
same old story of making bricks with
out straw. we neeQ an lncIedseo III
creased income from some source,
and then the money spent on perman-

towns are spending money in making
permanent streets. and in Florida they
are building paved public roads
through the country The little town
of Greenwood is right now making
some fine paved streets, but it takes
money. If we want them we can have
them, but we must put Up the money.
That is the long and the short of the
whole matter.
