TWO new JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
WILL BE ERECTED IN RICHMOND

adequately care for the future growth
of the schools. We now have ready
to enter the junior high school almost
900 children. The proposed addition
together with the old building would
only accommodate 1,100 or 1000 at
the outside. Within three or four
years this building would be over
crowded and the city would have to
build a second junior high school
With large building, centrally locat-
ed, 1t would be almost impossible to
locate another junior high school
where it would not encroach on the
territory naturally served by the large
central building. Very little or prac-
tically no expansion of plant can take
place on the site at Twelfth and A
streets.
Third. A large central junior high
school would violate to some extent
the purposes for which a junior high
school exists. The junior high school
is an intermediate school comprising
the seventh, eighth and ninth grades
and has as one of its purposes the
bringing of education closer to the
children of those grades than the CEN
tralized senior high school has been
able to do. In other words, while the
elementary school, housing the first
six grades of the school course, should
be conveniently located so that the
smaller children will not have far to
walk and, while the senior high
school, housing the last three years of
the course, can be centrally located

RAILWAY YARDS
and R0UNDHOUSE
WORK IS HALTED

Construction on the new railroad
yards and roundhouse of the Pennsyl-
vania lines in this city came to an
abrupt halt this morning upon re-
ceipt of orders from the division Of
capital expenditures of the railroad
administration requesting a cessation
of improvements until certain finan-
cial features can be arranged. F. j.
Stimson, superintendent of the local
division, said today that the period
of the shutdown is indefinite. He be-
lieves no further work will be done for
some time.
S. W. Hodgin. division engineer, said
that about 60 per cent of the con-
struction on the local yards and round
house had been completed.
'If work has been continued under
ordinary conditions the construction
here would probably have been COM
gin said.
Austin Company Quits
All work was stopped by the Austin
Construction company, contractors
for a portion of the construction, this
morning at which time about 100 en-
ployes were laid off. One half Of
these men are not residents of Rich
mond Before Christmas the Austin
company employed about 800 men
here, but since that time gradual
"let up has been instituted, it was
said today.
The Walters company, the
other contracting concern, employing
more than 100 men, will stop work
within the next few days, it is under
stood
Orders from Washington sent out to
regional directors and signed by T. c.
Powell, director Of the division OF
capital expenditures, said:
Work not started shall not be COM
menced without further approval by
the division of capital expenditures.
AS to projects already started and ac-
tually under way, please see that no
further work is done except when
necessary to insure safety where the
project is so far completed that to
stop would be more expensive than
to continue it, and where job is COW
cred by bona fide contract and STOP
ping work would seriously demoralize
conditions, especially as to working
forces"
The order for the shutdown is due
to the failure of the last congress to
make an appropriation for the opera
ton of the railroads.

DEFICIT
WAS GREATEST IN
EAST TERRITORY
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Mar. 21-The bu-
reau of railway economics, private
institution maintained by railroad
companies, today made public an an
alysis of interstate commerce COM
mission reports on railway earnings
last year, to show that of the s214,O00,-
600 government deficit for the year
$150.000,000 or seventy per cent was
in eastern territory. Western roads
showed a deficit of $72000,000 while
southern roads had surplus, earn
ing $S,500,000 above the government
guaranteed rental.
Earnings statements of the indi-
vidual roads show the varying effects
of the shifting of traffic and changes
in the character Of traffic. While 119
out of 184 large roads earned less
than their rental few of the other
lines earned considerable surplusses
for the government, the total of such
surplusses amounting to about $780,
100000 as compared with $294,O00,-
600 in aggregate DETECTING.
Among the railroads earning sur
plus above the standard return were
these:

SPECIAL CALL
FOR SESSION
OF CONGRESS
DURING MAY
Wilson Will Call Houses To-
gether on Date of His Re-
turn From Europe-Plans
Speaking Tour.
SENATE MEETS EARLIER
fBy Associated Press)

PARIS, March PA special ses
sion of both houses of the American
congress probably will be called to
assembly about the middle of May, the
date when President Wilson hopes to
return to the United States.
1t is possible that if the treaty OF
peace is sufficiently advanced to war
rant such course, a special session
Of the senate may be called even earl
ier to afford it opportunity to deal
with this subject before being called
upon to direct it's attention to other
important matters, chief of which will
be financial affairs.
1t is held to be unnecessary for
President Wilson to be in Washington
when the call for such a special ses-
sion is issued, for this may be cabled
from Paris in advance of his departure
from France. Mr. Wilson, however,
has reached no decision regarding the
question and is reserving the shaping
of his course of action until he has
more definite idea of the date of
his return to America.
The president is also keeping in
touch with the development of senti-
ment in the United States toward a
league of nations. If the situation ap-
pears to him to demand such action, it
is not unlikely that shortly after his
return from Europe he will make an
extended speaking tour, presenting his
view of the issue directly to the vot-
ers in the states whose senators are
opposed to the ratification of the
league plan.

Elderly Doctor is Held on Charge
Of Numbering His Wife With Hammer

NEW YORK, March 22-Dr. Walter
K. wilkins. sixty-four years old. is
awaiting trial on a charge of murder
ing his wife in their home at Long
Beach. L. I. The doctor was arrested
a few days ago In New York depot
while waiting for train to Mineola.
Mrs. Wilkins was beaten to death
with a hammer in the back yard of
their home the night Of Feb. q. The
hammer was found. The handle bore
blood-stained finger marks. A roll of
bills, also bearing bloody finger prints,
was found later beneath a mattress in
the Wilkins home. The finger prints
are expected to play an important
part in the case although it is pointed
out that the doctor, after caring for
his wife following her death might
have picked up the hammer before
cleansing his hands.
A warrant was sworn out for Wi1k-
ms arrest when he disappeared from
his home March 16. Police and de-
tectives failed to find him. Then he
returned to New York voluntarily aft
er informing Prosecutor Charles r.
Weeks that he would give himself up
at Mineola. 1t was while waiting for
train for Mineola that a city police
man arrested him. When taken, a
hypodermic needle and some pills
were found in his pockets.
According to Louis G.. Friess, his at.
torney, Wilkins dread Of arrest be-
cause of the odium attached to it
flee temporarily, Friess says:
'Mr. Wilkins expressed his inno-
cence to me many times. He stated
many times: Though l know I can
prove am innocent, the odium of an
arrest would be terrible to me-
II think this played on his mind,
and he was unbalanced when he alb
sented himself. l cannot explain his
irrational act in any other way"
Mrs. Wilkins will was filed in the
surrogates office few days ago. The
document is dated June 26, 1903, and
makes no reference to Dr. Wilkins
The petition says the estate is mot
over s6,O0O"
