Reported to Supt. Thurston.

The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of Emory Wilson. principal of
Central, who today refused to make
any comment on the matter saying he
had made report to the superin-
tendent Of schools. Ernest l.. Thurston.
The opinion seems to prevail gener-
ally today among certain persons in
touch with the entire matter that Miss
Siebert should be censured for showing
poor judgment in having the picture
exhibited at this time and that the
persons who entered the room should
be censured for breaking rules of the
school.
Mr.. Wilson in his report to Mr.. Thurs
ton named no boy or boys as having a
part in the affair.
Il am an American" Miss Siebert said
today. TT is true that before relations
were broken between my country and
Germany 1 sympathized with the land
of my forefathers. l did this no more
than many of the other teachers SYM
pathized with and praised the allies.
Now that relations are broken I hold
and believe that all Americans of Ger
man extraction will hold-that there is
but one stand to take. That is for

of the board of education, said the

In spite of the large number of stu

tional University Law School is larger
this year than for a number of years

HOSPITAL GAINS IN
TUBERCULOSIS WAR

Results Of the treatment at the
tuberculosis Hospital during the is-
cal year ended June 80 were most
gratifying. according to the annual
report of the institution submitted
by DR.. w. D. Tewksbury to the Com
missioners.
The number OF persons treated was
476. of whom thirty-five were in the
incipient stage. OF these, the re-
port states three left the hospital
with the disease arrested, thirteen
with the disease apparently arrested.
five with the disease quiescent, six
were improved and eight remained in
the hospital at the close of the year.
One hundred and thirty patients
were treated in the moderately ad-
vanced stage. OF this number DR..
Tewksbury says the disease was ar
rested in five cases, nine were ap-
parently improved. in seventeen cases
the disease was quiescent, forty-two
were improved and six were unim-
proved. There were ten deaths and
forty-one remaining cases in this
class at the close of the year; the re-
naming 81 cases were in the far
advanced stage.
Attention is directed to the in
creased cost of maintenance of the
institution, due to the increased cost
of supplies and the decrease in the
daily average number OF patients.

MAY KEEP SAVING
CERTIFICATEPLAN
AFTER WARS END

Frank A vanderlip, president of
the National City Bank, and other
expert bankers who are engaged in
assisting the Federal Treasury to de-
Wise means Of raising war funds, are
of the opinion that the new war
savings certificate plan should be re-
tanned after the war keeping the ma
tion on a strict war basis Of economy
until a large portion of the vast ma
tional debt which is being accumu-
lated shall have been wiped off the
ledger. The war savings certificate
plan now being perfected contem-
plates the sale of certificates for
$41o. The, purchaser of such GER
uficate in five years can cash his
holding for IS. Certificates of larger
denominations also will be prepared.
The Government hopes that $1,000
o00, 900 OF these certificates will be
sold They will begin to issue about
December i next
It is the intention of the Govern
ment to cultivate thrift among the
American people and induce them
to buy these certificates. The i'm
constantly rising war cost. At the
same time the war savings certif-
icates furnish the wage Garner a
Government saving bank, as sound
as the postal savings banks, which
pays him liberal interest for the use
of his money. While designed as a
war measure, the officials in charge
of this work feel that these certifi-
Gates can be peace savings certifi-
Gates also. It Is planned to place
them on a permanent basis, and con-
tinue sales by the million after the
war is over. The proceeds will be
used in rehabilitation and the pay
ing off of the war debt.
A broad economic benefit is ex-
pected ultimately to result from the
institution OF this policy in this
country as well as in those of our
allies. Habits Of thrift are to be in
culated in the people, and in addi-
tion to the blessing OF q paid-up war
debt, the nation will have q thrifty
population, well organized to handle
its resources to the best possible
ends.

ACCUSED
OF BEING UNFAIR
ATPASTOR'S TRIAL

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1s.-A scath-
ing arraignment of Bishop Rhine
lander, OF the diocese OF Pennsylvania,
the late Bishop Alexander Macksy-
Smith, and Francis A. Lewis, lawyer
and churchman, by the Rev. Fordyce
II. Argo, rector Of the Church Of The
Nativity, Rockledge, Pa. in which he
denounced the Richmond trial as "a
disgrace to the diocese Of Pennsyl-
vania and a blot upon the Protestant
Episcopal Church." created sensa-
tion at the closing session Of the trial
of the Rev. George Chalmers Rich
mond in the Church House, Twelfth
and Walnut streets.
AS foreman of the three triers, the
Rev. Mr.. Argo announced their ver-
dict, which was the suspension OF Mr..
Richmond from the ministry for two
years. The other trfers are the Rev.
John A. Goodfellow, rector of the
Church of Good Shepherd, Kensing-
ton, and the Rev. DR.. Edward Ritchie,
rector of the Church of st. James the
Less, Falls of Schuylkill.
The Rev. Mr.. Argo then proceeded
to read dissenting opinion in which
he said that whereas his colleagues
voted to find Mr. Richmond guilty on
nine of the 216 charges he considered
the verdict an injustice. The whole
case, he said, was trumped up against
Mr.. Richmond by the late Bishop
Mackay-Smith and carried to its con-
clusion by Bishop Rhinelander and
Francis A Lewis.
Small wonder" said Mr.. Argo, that
the Episcopal Church is losing its hold
upon the masses. This trial is a mess
of the first me a1nffudeU The evfdence
at the trial, Mr.. Argo declared, show
ed that the two bishops and Mr.. Lewis
conspired for the removal OF Mr..
Richmond owing partly TO his alleged
insubordination but chiefly because Of
his disagreement with them on econo-
mic questions. Mr.. Richmond. he said,
was punished for resistance by being
brought to trial.
Mr.. Argo called the trial "a farce,
fiasco, a gross miscarriage Of justice
and a second Dreyfus affair"
