Schools Face Coal Shortage.

Several public schools of the District
of Columbia face coal shortage. Last
year a shortage was experienced, but
temporary provisions were made to
whichsolve the problem by having coal
taken from buildings well supplied to
those which had run short.
This checker-game arrangement was
carried on throughout the winter. This
year it is feared the problem cannot
be solved that way, inasmuch as labor
is short.

Statement of Mr.. Brownlow.


follows:
The Commissioners have approved
the recommendations of the board of
charities after most careful considera
tion. They believe that if the COM
plants of unbearabie conditions at
Occoquan were made in good faith
that the compla inautS should have
come forward with the testimony when
given an opportunity by the board of
charities
LAS a matter of fact. the District
workhouse at Occoquan is an institu-
ton of which the Commissioners are
proud and which is a source of pride
capital. 1t represents an advanced
step in the development of penal in
stltutfons in the United States. and its
pre,emlnent position is generally rec
oshiZed by competent authorities
throughout the Union
1t is an institution wherein cells and
grated doors and locks and stockades

mltorles and open treatment. for the

from its punitive character 1t is most

Public Inquiry Not Granted.

The s;gners of the letter. being at
the District building, were invited into
the board room and were informed that
the conditions contained in said letter
could no: be complied with; that the
board of charities was instituting an
investigation for the purpose OF inform
ing the Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia as to whether the informal
charges contained in the letters herein
before referred to were founded in fact;
that their duties were investlgatory,
and that the board had no power in the
premises to act upon any condition or
facts found. but was limited to the duty
of advising the commissioners after in
vestigation; that since the creation OF

tons: that the partial statements of wit
