D. G. SUMNER 4
SCHOOLS TOBE
OPENED AGAIN
Closed After First Day,
Can Now Resume By
gsz Resolution. 80

Summer schools in the District OF
Columbia will, open again tomorrow
under the Join continuing resolution
passed by Congress.
They opened as advertised July !
and remained open one day. They
were then closed because of failure OF
bill.
AS the continuation bni has nov
been passed, they will be opened
again tomorrow. The Board of Edu.
cation needs one day to1ook into the
resolution. So ambiguously is Il word
ed that It Il difficult to discover just
what power the board has.
Twelfth Of Apprspristisn.
The money thus furnished Is q
twelfth of the whole years appropria-
tion. according to Walter B. Patter-
son. director Of special activities, and
some OF the activities cannot be run
on that basis. For instance, some OF
the swimming pools are only open for
six weeks. A twelfth Of the appro-
priation would not permit OF the usual
number being opened for an entire
month.
Night schools were not closed, but
were conducted from July until
July 8 and were again opened last
might.
According to Mr.. Patterson, the
summer schools have been especially
harmed by the closing through the
loss of.teachers, many Of whom have
taken other positions because Of the
uncertainty. Only two-thirds Of the
work done last year can be done in
any event. because the appropriation
has not been increased and expenses
have ben increased to that extent.
Night School Locations.
Night schools are open at the Nc
Kinley. Business. Central and Arm
strong high schools. Day schools
are open at the Mckinley High
School and The Dunbar High School.
There are twelve Fairgrounds for
white children and twelve coaching
schools to be opened Wednesday and
four Fairgrounds and eight coaching
schools for colored children.

Two Divorces.

courts yesterday in which the COM
pIainants aired various matrimonial
troubles.

ing his wife she had deceived him into
thinking she was single, and had given
her name to the clergyman at the
marriage ceremony, as Minnie Tate.
Joseph Lawson brought suit against
Annie Lawson for absolute divorce,
naming a correspondent. They were
married here in 1906, and have no
children.

Navy ..-
They were married in this city in
1914, and have a son three years old.

that neither Col Lewis. OF ma

The statemtnt-and an assump-

by Senator Lewis himself-came up
when the Senate concurred with
the House in turning back TO Col
Roosevelt the $4,000 Nobel Peace
Prize donation which the former
President wishes to give to charity
work.
II do not know the controversy
between Col. Lewis of machine gun
fame, in detail" said Senator Lewis,
but that Col. Lewis must not be
Permitted to bear any odium that

1T so happens that the present
Senator from Illinois, James Hamil-
ton Lewis, was the Lewis then in
service, and now let II be confessed,
in an ardor not measured by military
controlled by respect and. dignity,
made the report known as the en-
oalmed beef report. The Col. Lewis

chairman OF this body.

MAIDS DENIED
PROTECTION.
~ :
OF WAGE LAW
NV -
Domestic Servants Outside
Pale Of Keating Bill by
M Amendment. .a

Women domestic servants have
been denied the protection Of the
minimum wage law. The govern
ment will not undertake to say how
little they may be paid. or inter-
fere II they are paid starvation
wages.
The House yesterday during de
bate on the Keating minimum wage
bill for women in the District of
Columbia agreed to an amendment
offered by Representative Nicholas,
Longworth. of Ohio. which specifi-
cally states that the law shall not
include domestic servants.
Mr.. Longworth deplored the idea
OF the government keeping track
Of its charwomen along with other
employers Of similar labor. he
stated that IL would practically be
impossible to keep track Of these
women.
Speech warmly Applasded.
Meyer London. Socialist represen-
tative Of New York, made q speech
upon the subject Of the bill and
was warmly applauded by the mem
bers for the first time since the
United States entered the war.
: No matter how humble an Ioc-
cupation may be-" remarked Mr..
London. there is one thing certain.
Unless the individual gets enough
to live decently on. and he should,
no matter what his or her occupa-
tion may be. we are not progressing
funless the laborer is progressing"
Wages upon which men and
women cannot live are responsible
for our strikes and lockouts." con-
tinued Mr.. London. "and the legis-
lature owes IL to the workers to
remedy conditions.
This bill involves 3 moral prin-
ciple. It involves the relation of
man to man, not the relation cf
labor and capital The minimum
wage is but the beginning Of a bet
ter understanding between en-
ployer and employe."
: Representative Reed. of West
Virginia. spoke in favor of the bill,
stating that he believed it to be a
worthy measure as well as an equit-
able one, in that It treated the
different classes Of women workers
in different groups-allowing q spe-
cial adjustment to fit each group
investing a wage adjustment board
with the power to make the remedy
At each case or group.
Representative Crosser. Of Ohio.
remarked that as men had not yet
reached the time when the Golden
Rule would be universally practiced,
there was a necessity of such, a
law as the Keating law to compel
relief along lines such as the bill
contemplated.
walsh Opposes Measure.
Representative Walsh, of Massa-
chusetts. ~was one of the strongest
opponents of the idea to include do
mestic servants. why invade the
sanctity of the homer" he asked.
Shall we commercialize the home
by compelling the home owner who
hires a servant to keep books for
that servant? ] believe that do
nestle servants are already well
paid and not in need of relief such
as contemplated in this bill" -

adjourned without passing 1T. II

PlLORIES BROKERS WHO ASK
u. S. BONDHOLDERS TO SELL

The Treasury Department YESTERDAY
entered upon a vigorous campaign If
pitiless publicity to protect, the hold
ers OF liberty bonds and other gov
ernment securities.
Sanford Holmes, 81 Wall Street,
New York City. was the first to feel
the last of official displeasure over
his efforts to have holders of liberty
bonds convert them INTO other seca-
rites. He is pilloried In IAN officisl
statement put out by the Treasury
Department. This same policy of
publicity will be pursued by the
Treasury Department IN every case
where an attempt is made to induce
the holders of liberty bonds and other
war securities to dispose of them or
convert them for stocks and bonds of
private corporations. Tbe statement
says:
Despite the desire of the Treasury
Department and others interested in
successfully financing the war to IN
du:e liberty bond owners patriotica.ly
to keep their bonds, agents with va
rious alluring schemes for defeating
this purpose are raising their heads.

Street, New York! Mr.. Holmes.
through a circular letter, sought
the cooperation of bankers in in
ducing liberty bond owners to trade
their government securities for a
well-known stock. Such an ex-
change, he said,/ would greatly in
crease the returns to the inevstor.
but he ignored the fact thst the
execution of his plans would yield
him an enormous profit, and place
in the hands of owners of liberty
bonds another investment Of very
much less value.
'As a means of salving the con-
sciences of his proposed Scon:eder-
ates, Mr.. Holmes declared that, 10
relieving the people of their Londs,
they would really be playing the
part of a Good Samaritan If he
did not unselfishly induce rural
bond holders to exchange their gov
ernment securities for something
else, fire Insurance and other

hesalluring book value of the
stock which Mr.. Holmes aimed to
exchange was the hook upon which
he attempted to catch holders of
liberty bopds. In a circular letter
dated May Fl, 1918, sent broadcast
to banks and addressed particularly
to the 4resident, vice president or
C" lier, Mr.. Holmes offered twenty
one shares of stock, book value 49,

of an anual 10 per cent return on
the stock and per cent on lib
erty bonds. Mr.. Holmes declared the
holder of twenty-one shares of the
stock would receive $50 more a year
than the holder of $4,000 in liberty
bonds 7'.~

Mr.. Holmes failed to state was that
