Public School Recommendations.

The building committee of the
Lambertville Board of Education, at
the last meeting, presented a num-
Der of recommendations, from which
we quote the following:
We recommend thorough repair
and improvement of the First Ward
school building, the location of in
side toilets in all school buildings
and other improvements suggested.
Our chairman was instructed to con-
fer with Klemann & Fowler, archi-
tects, and secure their plans and
suggestions. Mr.. Klemann spent the
afternoon of March % at Lambert
vile for this purpose and promised
to submit lead pencil plans and some
improvements which he suggested
within ten days which time has ex-
PRED, but he has not yet been heard
from.
We have had opening from boiler
room under floor of Third Ward
building closed up as required by the
State Department. The fire door
and toilets still require attention.
Committee instructed to have door
fixed and send bill to Klemann &
Fowler.
We have been having the play
grounds Third Ward building
graded and rubbish removed as left
when new dry wells were built dur
ing the winter. We found that soil
around one of the dry wells located
by the contractor badly caved in and
on investigation that the soil pipe
had been improperly connected. 1t
was necessary to remove the same
and relay it which has been done.
With relation to request of Princi-
pal of the High School for aid in en-
couraging athletics we find they de-
sire to havea tennis court and basket
ball ground graded and pupils agree
to help in the work. We recommend
that the request be granted Approved
We offer the following: Resolved,
(a) That hereafter all books and
supplies or other materials purchased
for the use of the schools must be
ordered on blanks furnished by this
Board, approved by Supervisor, presi-
dent or secretary of the Board ex-
cept in such cases where orders are
otherwise authorized by the Board.
CD That officers and employees
of the board are expected hereafter
to comply with its published rules
and regulations.
(c) That the Supervising Principal
is expected to see that these resolu-
tons are complied with. Approved.
That when satisfactory plans for
improvements are received the presi-
dent be requested to call a special
meeting to take action thereon. APP
proved.
That as soon as convenient the
president be requested to call a
special meeting for conference with
the City Commissioners and trustees
of Stryker Library for consideration
of consolidation in one public library.

QUARTETTE HELD
 FOR MANY THEFTS

Nathan Campbell, John Jones, Tom Twine and Will Johnson, negro boys, are under charges at police head quarters, as result of a series of house thefts which have been report ed to the police within the past two or three weeks, the latest of which was the robber at the home of w. w. Wood, at Fourth avenue and Laurel street Friday afternoon.
 The boys are said to work in smooth" manner. One of them will approach the rear entrance of a house, and knock at the door. If no one answers the lad will enter the house and burglaries it. If the knock is answered, the boy applies for a position as housebody or yardboy, thus disarming suspicion. The actions of the boys are still being investigat- ed by the police, pending the outcome of which they will not he brought into court

PROS. TO PRESS
 FIGHT IN EXTRA CONGRESS- SESSION
Dr. Barton of Dallas Says War Possibility Makes
 Prohibition Essential.

Dallas, Texas, March 26.-Efforts to secure the adoption of the consti- tutional amendment for prohibition will bbe pressed at the approaching special session of congress, according to an announcement tonight by Dr. A. J. Barton of Dallas, chairman of the committee of 19, which is direct ing the campaign of the dry forces.
 Dr. Barton issued call for a meet ing of the committee in Washington Wednesday. The possibility of war with Germany, pr. Barton said, will be made the ground for renewal of the fight for prohibition at the com ing session, with the hope of securing at least additional prohibition laws, if not the enactment of a nationwide measure. The suppression of the liquor traffic will be urged as the most essential features of prepared ness, he said.

ShOPMEN'S STRIKE AT ARGtNTA DOES
 NOI LAST LONG
Men Return to Work on Dis covery That Strike Called
 by Mistake.

Little Rock, March 26.-The strike of 300 union machinists, helpers and apprentices at the Iron Mountain railroad shops in Argenta was called seven hours.
 It was declared that the calling of the strike was a mistake R. w. Bass, chairman of the grievance con- mittee of tho union, and who is in St. Louis conferring with the railroad heads, sent telegram telling the men not to strike, but the message was not delivered until the middle of the afternoon.
 The men say they have won their fight for recognition of the seniority prOvileges, but B. J. Peasley, master mechanic, said he had not received orders to make any change in the rules.
 "The real cause of the trouble is," MT. Peasley said, "that when we be- lieve that men are incompetent to fill positions we change them in the shops regardless of the extent of their services with the company. The de- mands of the men are without rea- son. It is demanded that the oldest men in point of service be placed on the most difficult and delicate work
 Efficiency, in my estimation, is to place the most competent men on this work regardless of their seni- ority. The unions would have the railroad company put the older men on this work, when in reality the younger men in service could per- form the work much quicker and to much more advantage"
 MT. Peasley said that the seniority rule, which caused the strike applies to all other crafts and that the other men are satisfied.
 The .shopmen say that the real cause of the trouble was that men, who were "old heads" were replaced on jobs without cause, after in many cases serving in position efficiently for several years. It is said that at many times the places were given to the favorites of the bosses" and the men to whom they say in reality positions belonged, were put to doing "dirty work" They say that the old men were often given work in the pits under the engines and the new men placed on machines and bench work which is much cleaner.

Republican Leader Mann Offers to Retire From Race l
 for speakership.
PRO. MEMBER SAYS
 CLARK WILL WIN
Representative Randell of California Declares MT. Mann's Offer for Bipartisan Organization
 Comes Too Late.

Washington, March 26.-Organiza. tion of the new house by the Demo. crats was declared to be assured to- night by Representative Randell ot California, Prohibitionist, and one of the five so-called Independents, upon whom the political complexion of the house seemed to hinge.
 MT. Dandell arrived tonight from Los Angeles. After reading a state ment that Republican Leader Mann had offered to retire from the race for speaker, in favor of Speaker Clark, if a bipartisan or non-partisan organiza- tion would be effected, Mir. Randell said MT. Mann was too late, and that of the independent votes would go to the Democrats to give the latter ma- jority and assure to the administra- tion control of both houses of con- gress.
 There have been indications for sev- eral days that Democrat leaders had information to this effect. Speaker Clark and other leaders have predicted the outcome apparently with complete confidence. Four of the five inde- pendents must join the Democrats to elect MT. Clark, unless there is defec- ton from the Republican ranks.
 MT. Mann's offer to withdraw from the speakership race brought pro- tests from members of his own party. Representative Lenroot, acknowledged leader of the Progressive-Republicans in the house, and who has been men Ex> oC1r 0pS against MT. Mann, promptly declared that he was unqualifiedly opposed to the suggestion.
 Democrats, including Speaker Clark, Floor Leader Kitchin and Representa- tives Flood and Glass of Virginia, Har- rison of Mississippi and Garner of Texas, said flatly they would not agree to the Mann plan unless it be- comes necessary in order to break a long deadlock in the house.

Two Villages Taken by French and One by the
 British Troops.
GERMANS STEPHEN
 THEIR RESISTANCE
No Important Changes in St. Quentin Region, Where Battle IS Progress. ing-Russians Cross Into
 Persia at Another Point.
Associated Press Summary)

NASoOCldlCu FreSS summary
 Three additional villages have fallen into the hands of the Brit ish and French troops operating against the Germans between Arras and Soissons, in France. One village was taken by the British and two were captured by the French.
 Langnicourt, situated six miles miles northwest of Bapaume, fell into the hands of the British, and From lambray and LaFueillee, in the Base Foret de Coucy region at the base of the salient that has been driven into the German line at LaFere, fell into the hands of the troops of Gen. Neville. ' [
 The French also gained consider able additional terrain northwest of Soissons, but no important changes in position have occurred in the St. Quentin section, where the Germans apparently are stiffening their line to keep down fresh inloads by the French. Paris reports tell of the dis turbance of German assemblies of troops in this district by artillery fire, however.
 French bombing operations con- tinued on the remainder of the front. although there also have been violent artillery duels, especially in the neighborhood of Dixmude and Steenstrea, in Belgium.
 Aerial activity between the Ger mans and the British, London re- ports, resulted in the forcing down by the British airmen of five German cf of and Armentierres, but says that sev- en British machines failed to return to their base.
 Russians Repulse Germans.
 The Germans are reported to be in force on the northern Russian front and again are active, south of Dvinsk and near Postavy, after having loosed gas waves against the Russian, they essayed an advance, but according to Petrograd, were repulsed. East of Baronvitchie another Teutonic at tack was put down by Russian artil- lery fire.
 The Russian war minister has ar- rived in Riga, probably to consider the situation created by the arrival of German achievements.
 Still another crossing of the Per- sian frontier into Turkey has been effected by the Russians, who have entered the village of Mosel through which flows the Tigris river, along which the British still are pursuing the Turks who retreated from Bag dad.
 l. To the southeast of the Turco-Per- sian frontier, near Khanikan, the Russians have captured Turkish Notifications at Kalachahin, thereby placing further menace in the way of the Turks who may move up the Diala river before the British ad- vance.
 German Field Marshal von Macken- sen, who has been in command of the Teutonic allies force in Rumania. was reported to have arrived at Con- stantinople, for the purpose of re- organizing the Ottoman forces. In the Austro-Italian and Macedon- ian theatres, the situation is unchang- ed.
